Rockville AND FERNANDO
COUNTY

One of the prettiest and most pro-
ductive counties in Florida is Her
nando. For the first time in the his
tory of the county the citizens are
making an effort to attract the home
seeker in that direction. Though late,
they are on the grounds with the
goods. The booklet that they have
sent out is the best that has come
under our observation, and those who
compiled it are entitled to go to the
head of the class. 1t is illustrated
with photographs that tell true sto-
ry of actual conditions. They tell of
the yield of farm and garden, give
the size of the sugar cane and corn
raised, without fertilizer, measure the
height and dimensions of the big
trees, show the high rolling lands,
make ones mouth water by the dis
play OF the rich clusters of fruit. Pho
tographs and descriptions are given of
the pine and the hammock lands. the
orange and grapefruit groves, and the
homes of the people-the whole form
ing very attractive picture. Every
statement made is sworn to, so to
speak, by those holding high judicial
and executive positions. The book
states that the "Annuttalagga Ham
mock" is the largest body of ham
mock land in the state, and the state
ment is true.' The landscape is pic
turesque and the quality of the soil
is as rich and more substantial than
the soil of the Everglades. If you are
interested in Florida, send for one of
these pamphlets. issued by the Brooks
vile board of trade. and you will find
that fernando county has a soil and
landscape that she may we'll be
proud of. We have been there and
know whereof we speak.

County Albert Apponyi, prominent
Hungarion statesman, says:
II feel the sincerest admiration for
Mr. Carnegie's magnanimous gift.
Sir Edward Fry, first British pleni-
potentiary to the Hague Tribunal, and
retired lord justice of the British
court of appeals, says:
1.-The utility of the gift depends en-
tirely upon the manner of its applica-
ton. Education in the principles of
peace should play a primary part IN
the work"
Sir Edward Satow, ex-ambassador
to China and second British plenipo-
Tertiary to the Hague Tribunal, says:
Mr. Carnegie's gift is magnificent,
and | hope that the scheme, the de-
tails of which do not yet know, will
be fruitful of good to the world
1t does seem strange that after
twenty centuries, when the proclama-
ton was trumpeted to all the world,
Peace on earth, good will to men, =
that the world is more of military
encampment than when this proclama,
ton was first heralded.
Every Christian nation today is
making greater preparations for war
than for peace. Although churches
have been established in every valley
and on every hilltop, the war spirit
grows fiercer and stronger, and the
cry goes forth for greater military
establishments.
Peace, peace" but there is no
Ipeace-there is peace only in the biv-
ouacs of the dead. While the world
has anything but peace today, there is
a terrible lacking of good will to
men,"
These desirable ends can only be ac-
complished by men being honest with
themselves and candid in the vows
that they assume.
If all those who pretend to follow
in the footsteps of the Prince of
Peace" will be honest with them
selves and their own consciences, and
will truly hold up the hands of Mr..
Carnegie, and those patriotic men as
ISOLATED with him, it will not be long
before our swords can be beaten into
pruning hooks and our muskets into
ploughshares.

WHY THE SOUTH is DEMO-
CRATIC?

Here is an extract from an un-
usually strong article in the st. Aug
Justine Record that we think ought to
be emphasized:
The south votes the democratic
ticket always-not because she takes
pride or pleasure in doing so in every
instance nor because she always en-
dorses the candidate offered her, but
because she sees her duty in opposing
the republican party and the republi-
can theories of government under
which she has suffered so much and
so long. Very often she admires sin
cerely the character or qualities of
some republican leader, but she never
thinks of voting for him though she
may receive him kindly as guest of
her people or applaud his words or
acts on occasions.
She sincerely believes that Grant
desired to prove himself her friend,
but was the tariff made the Less un-
fair on that account? She does not
believe that bitterness fingered in the
heart of Mckinley against her but
what was fair in the scheme of taxa
ton approved by Mckinley? Today
she thinks Taft is honest and fair, but
the south is condemned to pay many
times her proper proportion towards
the expenses of the government by
the bill to which the president has
given his approval, The southern
people are not unanimously democrats
by any means, but they must vote the
democratic ticket to save herself as
she may.

THREE INTERESTING DECISIONS

The supreme court of the United
States, now in session in Washington
City, has just handed down three in
teresting decisions:
1st.-Declaring unconstitutional the
contract labor law of Alabama.
The law provides that If laborer,
with intent to defraud,. enters into a
contract to labor for another, and
quits his job before money advanced
under the contract has been paid
back, he shall be guilty of INSIDE
meanor. The quitting was made by
the law prima facie presumption of
intent to defraud.
The court holds that the operation
of the/law furnished a convenient in
strument for coercion, which the con-
stitution and the acts of congress for
bid. Through Justice Hughes the
court says that lit is an instrument
of compulsion, effective as against the
poor and the ignorant-its most likely
victims
2nd.-The court upholds the consti-
nationality of the bank guaranty laws
of Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska.
The opinion of the court is announced
by Justice Holmes.
That official says:
was that the assessment of banks by
the state in order to create a fund to
guarantee the deposits in other banks
within the state took private property
of one bank for the private property
of another without compensation.
I'm the first place it is established
by series of cases that an Interior
public, advantage may Justify a COM
paratively Insignificant taking of pri-
vate property for what, in it's immedi-
ate purpose, is a private use.
''The police power may be put forth
in aid of what is sanctioned by usage,
or held by the prevailing morality or
strong, or preponderant opinion to be
greatly and Immediately necessary to
the public welfare"
The laws came within this limit, he
held.
Srd.-The court dismisses the IA
nous Panama cases, saying that they
properly belonged to the state courts.
Chief Justice White said that in
vestigation plainly established:
First, that adequate means were
afforded for furnishing the circulation
of libel on a United States reserva-
tion by the state law, and in the
state courts, without the necessity of
resorting to the courts of the United
States for redress.
Second, that resort could not be
had to the courts of the United States
to punish the act of publishing a
newspaper libel by circulating a COPY
of the newspaper on the reservation
upon the theory that such publication
was an independent offense, separate
and distinct from the primary printing
and publishing of the libelous article
In the state of New York without dis
regarding the laws of that state and
frustrating the plain purpose of such
law, which was. that there should he
but single prosecution and convic-
ton.
These propositions being true, it
follows in the light of the constr,ic-
ton which we have given the act of
1898 that the court was right in
quashing the indictment as not an
thorized by that act. No other con-
clusion. we think, was possible. as the
court could not have sustained the in
dictment without giving to the statute
a meaning directly conflicting with
the construction which we have affix-
ed to it."
SO the New York World gains
great victory and the colonel loses
out.

The Tax on Bay Windows.

4 correspondent OF The Washington
Herald asks for some light upon the
proposed tax upon bay windows and
projections. He points out that such /
tax would mulct the taxpayers out OF
thousands OF dollars, and asks if it is
possible that such a proposal is being
dignifed with serious consideration.
The suggestion that tax be imposed
upon bay windows and projections did
not originate with the District Com
missioners. but was brought to their
attention by an architect who believed
that the government should receive
some compensation from private in
dividuals for the occupation of space
beyond the building line. The propo-
sition was not, however, ignored by the
Commissioners. They treated it with
seriousness and referred it to an asso-
citation OF Washington architects for
consideration 1t IS now the subject
OF investigation by a committee of ex-
perts of that organization.
The Washington Herald has not
hitherto expressed any opinion upon
this matter. because it did not seem pos
sibIe that the District Commissioners
really proposed to place this additional
burden upon the taxpayers here. In
asmuch as the suggestion is still open
for consideration, we have no hesita-
ton in saying that to add this tax to
the others now borne by our citizens
would be in the nature of an imposi-
ton. There is no necessity for ii, in
the first place. and it would unques-
tionably tend to decrease the amount of
building.
We should be disposed offhand to
say that the Commissioners would act
adversely in the matter of the projec-
tion tax, but remembering the arbitrary
and abrupt way in which the water rates
were raised, there is really no telling
what may happen.

The Value of Fire Drills.

Six hundred men and women en-
ployed in a Philadelphia factory walked
out of the building one afternoon last
week in good order, within five min
utes after fire had been discovered. In
another shop in that city, the following
day. a hundred young women went
safely downstairs into the street with
out the least indication of a panic.
In both cases the progress of the
flames was rapid, and a few minutes
delay in leaving the building might have
resulted in loss of life. A practiced
fire drill in the former instance and the
cool heads of those in charge in the
latter case prevented loss of life.
This contrast with the usual and only
too frequent factory horror deserves
to be noted. The inspiration of a good
example is far more beneficial than the
warning of the bad. To the prevent
ives of fire, which, at best, are still
incomplete, should be added every
known method of insuring absence OF
