IT Is THE SANE CROWD.

When the temperance people Of Flor
ida were working for local option the
whiskey people were opposing them on
the ground Of personal liberty" and
raising sand about what they called
sumptuary laws. Now, that the tenn
perance people are for statewide prohi-
bition these personal liberty advocates
are urging local option in opposition.
Have the parties to the controversy
changed? Only in policies or means to
an end, not at all IN principle. The
temperance people are for statewide
prohibition because it is a stronger and
better means Of obtaining prohibition
The whiskey men are for local option
because it is q better disguise than per-
sonal liberty.-Brooksville Argus.

YnIrNG MEN TO THE FROM.

The fight for prohibitionl this year is
to be won by the young men OF the
state. They have grown up since pro-
hibiticn has become respectable, since
the wet sideboard and the family jug
have become things Of the past. They
have been taught and understand the
underlying principle Of prohibition, that
the man Is worth more than the dollar.
They have brains which the fumes Of
liquor have not befuddled; they stand
separate and distinct from the alcoholic
age, and have clear eyesight to see as
an onlooker the trail of blood and crime
made by the saloon. They know that
the white mans obligation, the strong
mans burden, is to save the weak. We
are glad to see young men, brave and
strong and courageous, coming to the
front in the fight for q clean, decent and
sober state. Rejoice that the banners
Of prohibition are in the hands OF the
young men Of Florida. 1t means VIC
tory for statewide prohibition.-BroOks-
vile Argus.

FLORIDA LAND VALUES.

A gentleman recently went from
Wauchula to Sanford to look at land.
He found they were asking 1925 an acre
for land four and half niles from the
railroad. Ridiculous? Maybe SO, but
it will not be many years before it will
be impossible to buy good fertile land in
Florida for that price. II land in the
North that will not average producing
more than SIS per acre is worth $500 pei
acre, what would be fair price for an
acre of Florida land that will produce
from 500 to 81 900 per acre per annum:

THE CAMPAIGN IN GEORGIA.

The campaign is not going well in
Georgia. Hoke Smith advertised far
and wide that the first real sensation Of
the campaign would be fired at Way
cross, and everybody within fifty miles
of the place was on tiptoe waiting for
it, when the "big 'uu" Of the campaign
was taken i'll and failed to keep his date.
He sent substitute, and an able one,
too, the same being the eccentric but
impressive Reuben Arnold, of Atlanta.
But substitutes do not do the work Of
the principal and the Wsycross meeting
was not the grand success that it was
planned to be. The Augusta Chronicle
thus comments on the illness Of the
Honorable Hoke:

When our eyes first fell on that twenty

knew that, in the very nature Of things
he wasn't q well man when that picture
was taken.

SIMMER IN FLORIDA.

While looking over into the Nebraska
vineyard to watch the slaughter OF
Bryan we note q very hot day, or rather
a series of such. On Wednesday OF last
week, when the maximum heat in Tam
pa was So degrees, 1t was 1O6 In Lincoln,
and practically the same all all over the
state-20 degrees higher than the aver
age temperature Of South Florida. And
yet the benighted and blisteie1 people
up that way wonder how we can live in
Florida on account Of the intense heat.
Aud on that Cslorific Wednesday q
southwest wind swept over the face Of
Nebraska with speed reaching twenty
to twenty-four miles per hour. This is
not intended as an argument TO be pre-
sented to the dessicated Nebraskans. but
TO show MS Of Florida what we have to
be thankful for.-Tsmpa Times.

sTARKE's OPPORTUNITY.

Starke and Bradford county are mp
against q proposition which will be
many times duplicated if the develop
ment Of Florlda goes on at the present
rate. They have q creek, Alligator by
name, twenty-five miles long, beginning
at hundred places, pursuing an almost
level, low, tortuous, obstructed way to
where it loses itself in a swamp. In the
older times it was sufficient to drain the
surplus water rapidly enough for all
practical purposes. But Of late large
areas Of low land and many ponds have
been ditched and the surplus waters pre-
cipitated into the creek at many points.
The result Is that Immediately after ev-
cry heavy rain Alligator creek becomes
not a raging torrent, for it is too fiat
and slow TO rsge-but an overlooked
volume Of water that goes of 90 slowly
as to be exceedingly damaging to the
propinquity.
At the serious risk of being deemed
meddlesome and motherly and presump-
tuous-All Of which it takes pride in be-
ing upon proper oooasions-The Times
suggests the formation Of drainage
district embracing all the land drained
along the creek and the dredging of
. canal that viii carry of the water.
Il will be . paying investment, the COST
will be small, and the successful ex-
ample of q community with enough
sense and public spirit to do Q good job
like that would be worth millions to the
balance Of the stste.-Tamps Times.
