they were not widely enough distributed to re-

drouth. In portions of New Jersey, New York
and New England the loss is irreparabe. and
when rain finally comes It will be little more

BEGINS BIG BATTLE FOR cAPI-
TOL REMOVAL

Editor News-Recod: / should like
to ask for the benefit of the people of
Florida and for the future generations,
why it is that the capital of great
state like this should remain in OBJ
security? We all have the proper re-
spect for old Tallahassee and her no
BILE people, but sentiment must be left
out when the interests of three quar-
tiers of the population of our state
would be benefited by changing our
state capital to some point more ap-
propriate, geographically. for the
great masses of the people.
In territorial days, Tallahassee was
very proper place for the seat of
government, but after the subjugation
and expulsion of the red man in the
flfties, almost all of south Florida was
freed from savage rule and opened up
to settlement; and today is actually
settled by the very best people, rep
resenting every satte and almost ev-
cry county in the United States, thus
changing, geographically and other
wise, the entire nature of south and
east Florida.
For the good of her citizens a
change of the seat of government is
necessary.
The time has come for capital re-
moval.
realize that such sentiment will
meet with some opposition, but be this
as it may, speak from a spirit of
fairness and honesty, and believe that
every fair-minded citizen in Florida,
east, west and south, will agree with
me, when he has deliberately consid-
cred the situation.
l was reared in Florida, and have
contributed my little to the upbuild-
ing of this great commonwealth, and
1 see now the necessity of changing
with thousands of others, that the
growing city of Jacksonville is the
most central point for Floridas CAPT
tai from every social and business
From time to time through the pl ess
of the state l propose to try and show
the people of my state why the state
capital should be removed-and re-
moved to Jacksonville.
The great money saving to the peo-
pie will warrant many times a remov-
a.
| should like to know the sentiment
of all Florida on this question, for |
intend to keep on stirring with this
end in We've. NJ. Brown, ST., in Mi

THOMAS PAINE

They celebrated in New Rochelle
Saturday the one-hundredth anniver-
sary of the death of an American pa
triot who once lived here. The Rev.
Thomas r. Slicer did him tardy jus
tice by denying that he was an athe-
list and by saying that the freedom
of thought in religion for which he
stood is what we have most of us
come to-"
Thomas Paine took a mans part in
the agitation that led to the revOlu-
ton by writing Common Sense" and
greatly aided in the war by his pam
phlet called The Crisis" Congress
recognized his services by two gifts of
money and by his high official ap-
pointment; New York State by 4 gift
of land at New Rochelle. Like Frank
lin and Jefferson, Paine had an in
ventive mind, and he devised a
pioneer iron bridge. In France he be-
came a member of the assembly and
spoke creditably against the execu-
ton of Louis XVI, but the excitement
of the terror was too much for his ca
ger brain. Gouverneur Morris thought
that he had become deranged, as has
happened to many eminent men. He
was imprisoned by Robespierre.
If Paine had died in 1890 his ser
vices to American freedom would
have been more generally and CRATE
fully recognized by posterity. THE
Rights of Nan" in 1892 won him Eros
cription in England, where he was
born; and later The Age of Reason"
aroused bitter religious prejudices in
America. 1t became the custom to
speak of him as merely a scoffer and
railer. Theodore Roosevelt, with as
little accuracy as charity, has de-
scribed his as filthy little atheist"
But Paine himself said: 81 believe in
one God and no more, and l hope for
happiness beyond this life.' Nova
days he would be Unitarian in good
standing.
But he was patriot before he be-
came religious controyersialist
The republic owes so much to him
that it is hardly seemly that it should
continue doing less than justice to the
memory and the political services of
Thomas Paine.-World.

A REVIEW OF THE LEGISLATURE
BY ONE OF ITS OWN
MEMBERS


MEMBERS
! Now that the legislative session of
1909 is a matter of history, it is
doubtless in order for all Floridians
to praise or censure our recent law
making body, as one may deem prop
er.
When Speaker Farris called the
house of representatives to order on
April 9th, the personnel of that as
sembly was such as to lead the peo-
pie to believe that much useful and
needed legislation would result from
the session. And surely never had
the public better grounds to ba"e such
a belief, for on that roll were found
the names of the foremost and most
conservative public men of the state
men representing almost every in
terest, profession, calling and occupa-
ton; citizens whose reputation for
honesty, sobriety and ability was
vouched for by their respective COM
munities, and whose knowledge of the
wants and requirements of the state
in general and of their home counties
in particular admitted of no doubt
So the public had every reason to an
ticipate great things from such a
gathering.
Unfortunately for the masses, how
ever, a majority of the representa-
tives seemed to have had an erron-
eous conception of their Official du-
ties and of what was really expected
of them. They were doubtless sin
cere in their positions, but as ignor-
ance is not excusable in certain in
stances, the misguided ones must not
expect other than condemnation for
such unwonted conduct, as but for
their actions much good would have
been accomplished.
Many of the members belonged to
that class commonly known as "re-
formers" They were as a unit in
agreeing that reform was necessary,
but as to the nature of the evils to
be corrected and the manner of pro-
cedure in the premises, they were of
various minds. Nearly every first
term man had his own special no
ton" about legislation, and thought it
his sacred obligation to express his
opinion and to display his learned
brilliance through language burning
with fiery elOquence. In this wise,
hours and even days were wasted in
harmful wranglng and useless debate.
1t was all well enough for the indi-
vidual to thus play to the gallery and
gain nOtOriety, but it was extremely
costly to the state, and inimical to the
interests of certain legislation so
greatly needed and so generally de-
manded. If the time whiled away in
worthless discussions had been given
more wisely and devoted to less sell
fish ends, more and better measures
would have been enacted, and the cal
endar would never have been allowed
to become so congested as to pre-
clude all possibility of clearing its
many pages.
What we have said of the house
may be likewise applied to the SEN
ate. Similar conditions existed-a
laXity Of idle talk and a constipation
of real labor The legislative sins of
commission and omission may be
summarized in brief: Too much fnei
politics and 'grand-stand playing"
and insufficient attention to needed
egislatiOn-Palatka Herald.
