Experience Of Two Towns.

Kissimmoe Valley Gazette:--
We overheard Il remark the other
day, made by man in position
to know, to the effect that therp
are men in OSceola county today
working, paying their debts and
supporting their families in good
shape, who, when the town wax
wot, spent all their earnings for
whiskey, neglected their wives
and children and we're generally
looked upon as dead.beats and
vagabonds.
Live Oak Democrat, Mich. o.
Live oak has prohibition also, and
has had for Il space of more than
twenty years; and If we have D
single individual whose earnings
oil go for whiskey and who neg
lects wife and children, and b.
looked upon as a dead-beat and D
vagabond'' among our resident
population, we are not aware
of it and we have no less thhn
1000 or 5000 souls within our
corporate limits. So much to tho
credit Of temperance and industry
as the result Of putting out TIM

Tampa Times: The crop OF or
ange bloom all over Florida is the
largest and finest, best distributed
on thetrees, since thegreat freeze.
II is due to the copions rains OF
December, which fully demon
strates the value of irrigation Not
once in five years are there such a.
bundantrains at SO exactly the right
time. 1t follows that unless future
rains come in the right proportion
and at the right periods to make
the bloom and heyoung fruit hold,
il will be shed and no benefit wal
result. The man with IN irriga'
ton plant in his grove can make
the fruit hold, and by giving it a
little extra fertilizer he can make
the oranges grow to perfection OF
size and color.

mission, the Pensacola Journal
says;
The PUNTA GoRDA HERALD has
a poor opinion Of self-government
by the people, as we know it In
this country. 1t seems to be
willing to wipe out our present
form Of state government at one
fell swoop and inaugurate govern
ment by commission at the state
capital with an initiative and
referendum attachment that
would enable the tail to wag the
dog in a way to startle the nation
and drive The oflice-seekcr to
despair. We have always been
sorry that Editor Jordan didn't
get to The legislature the last
time, and we hope that he may
get there yet, if only for the
attractive originality of some Of
his views and the force with which
we feel sure he would present
them. He is a reformor in adj
vance of his time and we doubt if
his time will ever catch up with
him. Hear him on what he would
do for the state Of Florida IL he
only had cnshce:

State Political Machine,

. The following is reprinted from
the Key Wost Citizen with no NAL
icious end in view, but solely for
the information Of our henigbted
friends of the Tampa Times and
Pensacola Journal: When the State
of Florida placed in It's laws pro-
vision that the governor could not
succeed himself, it did wisely II
was realized that an INSCRIPTIONS
governor migl perpetuate himself
in Office by using bis appointees
and dependents is political hench-
men. With the States money he
is empowered .s send men Into
every county, and, clothed with a
certain amount of power, they can
WELD o greatinauence over politi-
clans everywhere.
The provision has prevented the
governor from using the State EN-
ployes for his reelection, but it has
developed in the present campaign
that he is not prevented from using
them to elect his satellites to Office.
Governor Broward is to-day in
control Of a big political machine,
and is using it with brazen effront-
cry to control the election for his
allies.
Il is no longer a secret that the
State bank examiners, convict lease
inspectors, pure food inspectors,
and other travelling State officials
are all electionceriug for Bryan and
Stockton. What a help it would
have been had the State gone into
the,insurancc business, with.a corps
Of agents in each county
The candidates who are opposing
the friends of the gcEernor are
badly handicapped. The State
treasury is ut the back of the ma.
chine, and it,may 5e lux or vigilant
in enforci4g the law.
And strange to say It is the men
who are using and are benefited BY
State machine, are the howlcrs
against corporations. While rob
bling the people of their right to
select the officials, they are distract
ing attention by shouting against
the abuses of the corporations.
The voters are getting theireyes
opened, and if we read the signs
Alright the machine with all Of its
power will be swept out of exist
enec.

SAFETY in FLORIDA.
No Floods, Cyclones, Billiards
or Heat prostrations.

Clay County Times: Every
winter Floridais filed with tour
lists, who come here from other
States and reyel In our delicious
climate, enjoy our fishing, hunting
bathing and outdoor sports, and
60 back to their northern homes
refreshed and benefited and inyig-
Grated by their stay among us,
and certainly We are glad to have
them; our welcome il warm, cor
dial and sincere, and would reach
out 10 thousands more If they
would come, and there is plenty
Of room for others; but when we
pick up tho papers and read Of
floods, snow-storms and calamities
Of various kinds in winter, and
heat prostrations, cyclones, ETC.,
JIM summer, we can't help but
wonder why it is Florida doesn't
I'll "chock'' full Of folks who will
cast their permanent lot here and
live in the very best State in the
Union the whole year long.
Certainly, no State presents so
many real attractions as our State
does, and We can't understand
why It is so many people are
willing to risk their all, including
their own lives and the lives Of
their families, when they can Sc
cure perfect safety.
We have lived in Florida for
many years and we have meyer
heard Of a disaster from floods or
suffocation from heat, nor have we
ever heard of men, women and
children freezing to death from
cold, and in Florida we have few
or diseases Of fatal nature than
any other State. Barring the
SICK who come here from other
States, with one foot in the grave
and the other almost, and die
within its borders, Florida has a
lower death rate than any other
State 10 the Union.
We suppose that one reason
more people do not come here to
make their permanent homes
where they can enjoy such mani
fold advantages Is due 70 the en-
roneous reports that have gone
abroad that Florida Is a veritable
bake-oven in summer. This idea
comes principally through a nat
ural supposition because Of Flor
.ida's nessto the equator, but
there are many who have had ii
similar experience to ours and
have found the heat in northern
states far more oppressive in sum-
ncr than in Florida. In fact, the
Florida summer temperature Isl
several degrees lower than that Of
other states and this is due to The
fact that the peninsula is narrow
and tho breezes from the gulf and
ocean keep the air cool and pleas
ant hence, It is rarely uncomforta-
BILE in the shade.
When this fact becomes thor
oughly rooted and grounded in
the minds Of people OF other
states, there viii DO many who
will seek homes in Florida, and
they will find equally as warm a
welcome as we extend to the tour
lists who come aud only spend
a few short weeks with us.

thoughts on u matter most inter
esting ia a time when distrust OF
government and law seems uni
yersal and all Of us are supposed

thing'N that may be very old.
The HERALD lately spoke of our

upon, we are reminded that Mem
phis and Galveston lived under

The people should choose q gov.

state government and be charged
with the execution Of existing
laws. IL any new laws are needed
or desired, a petition signed by a
certain number of property own

be sent up 10 The state officers,
who, in turn, should put the pro-
posed law in form and submit il
to a vote Of the people. liza ma

should promulgate II as The law OF

nlar vote, it should not again be
proposed for ten years,
Under such government, it Is
not intended to dispense with
courts aud county officers, but
continue things as they now are,
with any improvements that may
be devised.
This idea, the HERALD insists,
is neither ''mobocratic nor anarch-
.istic. " Let Us study the subject
a bit A government might be
excellent for a city that would not
apply toa country with foreign
relations. II does not follow that
a system working well in Switzer-,
land would be equally satisfactory
in America. The best Of all pos

WERE LOADED WITH STAMPS
Two Alleged Postofice Robbers Ar
rested at Rawhide- Gun
Men" at a Discount.

RaWhide, New. March 23.-The postal
authorities here have placed under ar
rest c. S. Young and a man named
Ruggles on the charge OF rebbing the
postoffice at this place last week. Both
men when searched had a large num-
Der of stamps on their persons. Many
denominations were found. including
one, two, five, eight and ten-cent
stamps. AS this office did mot have
any of the larger denominations, it is
the belief of the authorities that the
stamps came from the Sparks office.
which was robbed three times during
the past year. and that both men came
from that point. The men declare their
innocence. They will be bound over to
the United States grand Jury at Car
son.
The local police are making a raid on
men who carry weapons Two were
taken into custody yesterday. Every
man found with a pistol is arrested
and relieved of the weapon and fine
imposed. No exceptions are being
made. 1t is believed that by taking
this action the undesirable element and
those who make a practice of frontier
tactics will be driven from the camp.
The state police are aiding the local
authorities in making arrests The
state police have pitched their tents on
mining dump overlooking the town
and watch is kept day and night
The law-abiding element approve of the
stand taken by the state police and
the local authorities in first making
arrests and investigating the cases aft
