FLoRIDA'S ADVANTAGES TO THE
HOME-SEEKER

No one can travel over Florida
without being impressed with the
many advantages it offers to the cap
italist, the home-seeker and the immi-
grant. In fact, nowhere else does
there exist such a combination of
conditions so favorable to health,
comfort, happiness and wealth. She
is the greatest cigar manufacturing
state in the Union, and one of the
greatest naval stores and yellow pine
producing states, her fruits are fam
ed in the markets of the world, and
there is no better section for the rails
ing of cotton and other staple crops.
If the farmers in the cold climates of
the north and west could see the pos
sibilities here it would be but a short
time until all the arabic land within
her borders would be under cultiva.

THE SAD FATE OF NEWSPAPER
MEN

The Inverness Chronicle calls at
tention to the sad fate that has befal-
len several printers and newspaper
men in Ocala. 1t cites the case of the
late Mr.. Walseman dying in a Jail
cell, and a printer some months be-
fore who committed suicide in the Jail
here by cutting off one of his hands
and then severing his jugular vein.
This brings to mind also the deaths
of Hamilton Jay and Sam B. Russ,
both of whom died in obscure board
ing houses in Jacksonville in squalor
and want. They both held positions
on the Times-Union, and were perhaps
two of the most brilliant men in the
newspaper service in Florida when in
possession of their mental faculties.
Both were poets as we'll as prose writ
ers, and their diction was as smooth
and graceful as Addison s.-Ocala

THE BRYAN RESOLUTION ADOPT
ED

The Income Tax League, which was
in session at Albany, n. Y, last Sat
urday, adopted the Bryan resolution
anent the income tax amendment to
the constitution of the United States.
The amendment follows:
Whereas. Our federal constitution,
as construed by the supreme court,
prohibits the collection of an income
tax except in a very restricted form;
and,
Whereas, An income tax is not
only just, but may, in time of war or
other emergency, become imperative
ly necessary; and,
Whereas. President Taft recon-
mended the adoption of an amend
ment to the constitution, specially au-
thorizing the collection of such tax;
and,
"Whecras, Such an amendment has,
by a unanimous vote in the senate
and by an almost unanimous vote in
the house, been submitted to the
states for ratification; therefore.
Resolved, That we, the members
of the Income Tax League of the state
of New York, heartily favor the rati-
fication of the said income tax amend
ment and pledge ourselves and our
organization to use every honorable
means to secure such ratification by
the legislature of the state of New
York at its next session, and, further,
Resolved, That we urge all voters
who favor the ratification of such in.
come tax amendment to publicly
pledge all candidates for the state leg
islature to vote for the ratification Of
such an income tax amendment"

ALBERT PIKE

Many thanks for your editorial In
the Atlanta Georgian of the 9th. Be
lieve me, work like that for the south
is worth while, and no greater effort
can be made to advance the achieve
ments of our southland than to call
attention TO our really wonderful
strides in the ethical culture. which
is. after ali, what lives and endures
for centuries.
Strange indeed is the old motto: "A
prophet in his own country" etc. For
so it is with one of the "immortals
bred upon American soil. nurtured In
our own southland.
In the real of Orientalism "Zend-a-
Vesta" stands pre-eminent, OF whlch
Zoroaster is the author and prophet.
Our more modern production, the
"Rubayat o. Omar Khayam," has cap
tivated lovers of the unique in poetry
throughout civilization. Fitzgerald.
because of his rendering this epic into
modern languages, became more re-
inowned than Carlisle, when he trans
lated Goethes masterpiece into En-
glish. And yet the Zoroaster OF Amer
lea, the Omar of the southland. Is
known to but few, even in the land OF
his birth. The works of this man
have been translated into the HindOo
and Persion languages-and Oriental
scholars have We'd with one another
to wrest the crown of glory for the
most perfect setting of the writings
of Albert Pike.
Cultured Europe places Albert Pike
next only to Emerson among Ameri-
can philosophers. and next only to
their own sacred books do the lands
of Buddha adm Zoroaster place the
poetry and prose of Albert Pike.
To Masons throughout the world
Pike will he revered as one of their
noblest priests and propets.
To the vast and mystic Orient he is
known as the incarnation of many
souls"
Cultured Europe and Asia recognize
Albert Pike as a patriarch, seer and
patriot, phllanthroDist and scientist.
and should not America place his
name among its greatest of the great?
And the southland may well be
proud of one of its noblest sons and
sweetest characters. Should not your
literary columns give some striking
attention to this great southern au-
thor?-Louis Harchitz of Charlotte. y.
c., in Atlanta Georgian.

ANOTHER TURN

The Tampa Times says that if the
story be true that Ex-Governor Brow
ard cleaned up $4,000 on the Ever
glades land deal, it is conclusive that
he will be candidate for the senate
before the primaries when the time
comes.-Ocala Banner.
And, if both these statements prove
true, the Tribune can give you truth
No. 8, which is that, at the end of
the campaign, the former governor
will have neither the $4,000 nor the
senatorship.-Tampa Tribune.

ENGLAND VERSUS THE UNITED
STATES

In our Saturdays issue we printed
an article, entitled, why l Prefer
England" written for the London Dali
lv Mail by an American millionaire.
The views of the writer are temper
ately, frankly and cleverly stated, and
no doubt appeals strongly to the class
for whom i: is intended.
Strangely enough, he says, that peo-
pie do more as they please in Eng
land than in the United States, and
are not so much the slaves of fashion.
There is little formality in the United
Kingdom. The newspapers are not 50
prone to pry into ones pr;7c'e afa:rs,
and the millionaires are not snapshot
ted and stared-at, as in the United
States.
There died in England recently, he
said, a Mr.. Morrison, one of the rich
est men in the world, yet his goings
and comings were not chronicled in
the London newspapers, nor was his
name discussed in the clubs, for the
simple reason that men across the Wa
ter do not run after riches. In the
United States, on the contrary, the
smallest doings of Mr.. Morgan, Mr..
Carnegie, Mr.. Astor, ETC., are noted
with great particularly, and the mil
lionaire's life is made intolerable by
officious and offensive attention.
We make the following quotation:
Fastening down to attend to the
affairs of corporations with which l
am connected, | am snap-shotted by
photographers, worried by impecunl-
Gus acquaintances, hustled by time
MASTERS all day long, so that cOncen-
tration of business is almost 1mpossl-
BILE. | am glad to return at night to
my noisy hotel to seek a little relaxa-
ton in a quiet dinner and game of
bridge with a few friends-which gets
into the newspapers as a huge gamb-
ling gathering"
This American millionaire says
there is almost a total absence of
class feeling in England. The rich
and the poor are not divided into hos
tile and warning factions. Each man
has his place and occupies it to the
very best of his ability, and in man
ner to make it serve the best inter-
ests Of all concerned.
There is also more individual liber-
ty in England There are not so
many sumptuary laws.
But what appeals most strongly to
the American millionaire in England
is that there is no disposition to legis-
late against industry and wealth, pre-
datory or inherited.
When two or three gather together
and consolidate their holdings for the
starting of some new industrial enter
prise, the end of which is for the de-
velopment of the resources of the
country and the giving of employment
to labor, it does not excite the hostil-
fly of government and confiscatory
laws do not follow.
We take IT, however, that there are
as many "cranks" in England as
there are in the United States, but
they do not get into Office over there,
and are in a measure harmless.
We grieve to say it, but the matter
with the United States just now is
that the state legislatures and the ma
tional congress are suffering from a
PLETHORA of misguided and misdirect-
ed 'reformers.'
