steamship communication with the
Latin American countries. 1 think
we can all agree, however, that if we
are to realize the full benefits of our
geographical relation to those mar
kets and of the demand which exists
in them for goods which we produce,
something practical must be done to
secure the establishment of regular
steamship lines. Whatever policies
may be adopted TO this end, it is SO
manifestly to the interest Of our sec
ton that all Southern products
shipped to those countries should go
through Southern ports. that, not OILY
those engaged in business at those
ports, but the Southern people gen
orally, should work together in some
practical way to secure direct lines
from the South Atlantic and Gulf
ports. Those ports have the great
advantage of shorter distances, espc-
cialiy to all points in Mexico, Central
America, the West Indies, the north
ern coast of South America, and
points on the west coast reached by
way of the Tehuantepec and Panama
Railways. This advantage with re-
spect to the West coast ports viii be
greatly increased on the completion
Of the Panama Canal, and it is i'm
portant that the people of our section
should be prepared TO make the most
effective use of that waterway.
This is a matter which concerns
all the people of the south so vitality
that 1 believe all those interested in
Southern development should work
together in an effort TO bring about
an improvement in our steamship

To COLONIzE
EVERGLADES
MAN OF EXPERIENCE SAYS THE
TERRITORY Is THE BEST YET
OFFERED TO SETTLERS.

That the colonization of the Ever
glades depends only upon enterprise
in attracting farmers Of the west to
the opportunities that abound here is
the opinion of Mr.. Edward van As
mus, who recently reached Miami
from Colorado, and has devoted his
time to an examination of the lands,
says the Miami Metropolis
Mr.. Van Asmus has been identified
with the great land movements of the
west for the past fourteen years. He
promoted and built the first irrigation
plant IN Montana: he was vice presi-
dent of the Fountain Valley Land and
Irrigation Company that constructed
the reservoir and irrigation system
near Colorado Springs and for sew
eral years was land valuator for the
capitalists, Aberdeen & Scott, who
owned valuable tracts In Colorado and
Canada
The intimate knowledge which Mr..
van Asmus has concerning the origin
Of the land movements gives him a
certain authority in estimating the
possibilities of Everglades develop
menS.
saThis Is pre-eminently a land era
in the growth OF the country" said
he. sit Is difficult for people who
have not been in the land business,
or who haven't kept a careful watcn
OF It to realize the great expanse OF
land that has been settled in the last
I'VE years through the medium OF
land companies.
How Il Started.
ct started with only a few stray
Cling farmers going to Canada from
Minnesota and Iowa and grew within
a year to such an extent that whole
Pullman trains were chartered to
carry the homeseekers there, many
land companies buying their own
cars They carried people up, and
took care Of them without letting
them get away from their entertain
ment for a moment. All that Canada
had to offer was a vast frozen coun-
try with fertile soil and a short grow
ing season. Wheat and oats were
about the only crops that were plant
ea.
THAT boom came back to the Unit
ed States and extended to the South
west. Texas, Colorado and New Mex
leo, until the whole country was awak-
ened to the investment in land rather
than that of the old lines of stocks
and bonds.
This great land era was attribu-
table to a very peculiar condition.
The farmers of the great middle
west who in the early days acquired
their 160 acres, or more, found as
their large families grew up that the
farm was too small to divide up
among the sons and daughters and
that the adjoining farm was In the
same condition. The advancement in
the science Of agriculture has been

Right and Wrong.

Col. Wells is right in saying that
the amendment must be constitu-
tionaIly submitted, but he is. wrong
in assuming that the question he
raises is any part of the submission
of the amendment. His objection
goes, not to the manner of submitting,
but to the very substance of the
amendment itself, which is not OBJ
jectionabIe for the reasons above
stated
Second. 1t is next contended that
inasmuch as the amendment by its
language does not become effective
until July LIST, 1911, and that the legis-
lature of that year adjOurns previous
to that date, it will be impossible to
pass suitable laws for the enforce
ment of the provisions of the amend
ment until the next session of the
legislature in 1913, and therefore we
will have wide open, indiscriminate
whiskey selling in the interim be-
cause the proposed amendment does
not contain a penalty for its own Vio-
lation. In this contention Col. Wells
may be partially correct, but in my
opinion the legislature of 1911 will not
be materially hindered. 1t will be
observed that the amendment pro-
hibits the manufacture, sale, etc., or
intoxicating liquors, except alcohol,
for medical, scientific and mechanl-
cal purposes, and wine for sacramen-
tai purposes The legislature of 1911
could pass a law to the effect that
any person who sells Intoxicating
liquors contrary to any constitutional
or statutory provisions OF the state
of Florida, should be punished in a
manner therein to be prescribed
Such an act would be entirely constl-
tutional under Article XIX as 1t now
exists, or under the amendment when
it becomes operative, and any person
selling LIQUOR without first obtaining
a license in a wet county, or IN dry
county, under the present consttu-
ton, or in any county after the
amendment becomes operative, would
be punished as prescribed by the act
In other words, the punishment would
be general and would cover any Vto-
lation Of the law against selling IN
toxicating liquor. either constitutional
or statutory. and it would seem that
the manufacture. barter or exchange
of intoxicating liquors might be pun
ished in a similar way. The legisla
ture of 1911 might have trouble in
prescribing regulations under which
alcohol and wine could be sold for
the purposes enumerated: this, how
ever is a matter of minor import
anc6.
OF course, the governor would call
a speciaI session of the legislature If
found necessary, but in my opinion
an extra session would not be re-

ANSWERS WELLS
PROMINENT LAWYER DISCUSSES
"POHI" AMENDMENT-SAY 1T
WILL OPERATE-LEGISL
GAN PASS BILL TO CARRY OUT
THE PROVISIONS.

Hon. o. Z. Reaves. upon request OF
W. C. Lghtfoot, gives his views re-
garding C. B. Weiss article on the in
effectiveness Of the proposed consti-
tutiOnaI amendment looking to state
wide prohibition, as follows:
Bradentown, Fla, July 3.
Editor of The Herald:
l have your favor of July 1st, en-
closing copy of article by Col. g. b.
Wells regarding the effect of the pro-
posed prohibition amendment to the
constitution, and, replying to your Ie-
quest for my views thereon, beg to
say that while think Col. Wells'S po-
sition partially correct, l am unable
to agree that the amendment will not
be part of the constitution if adopted
by the people, or that the legislature
of 1911 will be seriously handicapped
in enacting laws for its effective OPP
Grafton,
Col. Wells argues, first: That I'M
der Article XVII of the state consti-
tuition as construed by our supreme
court in 81 Fla, page 500, an amend
ment to the constitution becomes eff
fectiVe go Instant upon its ratification
by the people at the polls and that
the proposed amendment is contrary
to the provisions Of said article in
that its operative effectiveness is
postponed until July 1st, 1911, and,
therefore, that the proposed amend
ment is of itself unconstitutional. [
am unable to conceive of an uncOn-
stitutional amendment to the state
constitui ION.
Power of the State.
This in my judgment is an anomal-
Gus legal condition. OF course an
amendment to a state constitution
may be contrary to the federal con-
stitutiOn and therefore, void, but If
an incongruity exists between two
provisions of a state constitution, that
first adopted is superseded by the
last to the extent of the inconsis-
tency. A state constitution may pre-
scribe the procedure for its own
amendment, but not the character of
amendments to be made.
What the supreme court decided in
the case mentioned is that in the alb
sence Of a provision in the amend
ment itself, stating when it shall be-
come effective, under the provisions
of Article XVII, the same becomes
operative as soon as it is adopted at
the polls, but the supreme court has
never decided or even intimated that
Article XVII prohibits the legislature
in proposing or the people in ratifying
amendments from STIMULATING in the
amendment itself when the same shall
become operative as part of the con-
stitution, but if it did, such provision
would be subject to amendment just
as any other part of the constitution
1t is self-evident that the prohibition
amendment, if adopted, will super
sede all provisions of the constitution
inconsistent Herewith, whether found
in Article XVII, Article XIX or else
