A COMPARISON

When the editor Of this paper was
young man Che is not yet in the
sere and yellow leaf he spent one
or two years in New York City. There
were then no elevated railroads, no
sub-ways, no trolley cars, no Fifth
avenue double-deckers, no automO-
biles, no aeroplanes. The transporta-
ton of human freight was limited to
horse-cars and Broadway omnibuses,
and yet the busy, business inhabi-
tants seemed to have Jared fairly
we'll, and there were no more COM
plants than there are now. In late
issue of the New York World we see
that Mr.. Frank Hedley, general man
ager of the Interborough, in reply to
almost universal complaints of the
travelling public, says:
you can't get better service. The
service in New York's subway is the
nearest approach to 100 per cent. eff
ficiency in the rapid transit service
anywhere today. The PETERBOROUGH
Company will be only too glad to i'm
prove it's service as rapidly as the
state of the art will permit. The ne
cessities of New York's subway for
carrying safely such large numbers
of people are so great that there is
no other place in the world that can
be compared to it. The subway was
planned and built to carry 100000
people a day. Some days it carries
more than a million, and it has car
ried 100000 passengers in twenty
four hours. In order to make the
Titanic feat possible new inventions
had to be devised which were I'M
known to the state of the art until
conditions in the New York subway
forced their creation"

FORMER CEDAR KEY NEGRO TO
DIE IN ELECTRIC CHAIR

The following dispatch from New
York, under date of September 10th,
concerns a former resident of Cedar
Key, this state:
Early in the coming week John w.
Collins, a negro, will be put to death
in the electric chair at Sing Sing
prison for the killing of Policeman
Michael ]. Lynch in this city on July
1st last The policeman was killed
just as he was entering the negro
rooms in Thirty-seventh street to
learn the cause of two revolver shots
which the negro had fired out of a
window. Collins had been drinking
heavily, and on the night Of the muir
der entered the house and fired two
shots at the janitor. Later he left
the house and returned with bottle
of gin. After drinking most of the
gin he fired two shots in the air, and
told woman who was with him to
lock the door. Instead, she ran into
the street, shouting for help. Police
man Lynch appeared and Collins shot
him in the head. The negro made
his escape across the roofs of the
houses, but was captured within an
hour. His trial, conviction and sen,
tence to death followed within less
than sixty days"
Collins, it is said, was a familiar
figure about Cedar Key some years
ago, but ran away from Florida, fol
lowing some trouble in which he was
an alleged participant. He went to
New York and the above pictures the
final result.

A refreshing illustration of this is
found in the failure of recent attempts
to influence the Seminoles of the
Everglades to migrate from this state
to Oklahoma. AS is well known
some of that tribe are in Oklahoma,
where a reservation was provided
for them years ago, and it seems that
the latest move has been on the part
of the Oklahoma branch of the fam
lily to wean the balance away from
the Everglades.
An intimation of this is found in
the following notice clipped from the
Florida Star, published at Titusville
1.-TWO prairie wagons with several
Seminole Indians arrived in town
Saturday on their way back to Okla
homa, after having been here to try
to induce the Florida remnant of the
Seminoles to go west. This was their
mission, but they did not succeed,
hence they are returning to Oklaho-
ma again, from which state they
came to Miami and the Seminole
camping grounds several months
ago."
Nothing could be learned in Miami
as to whether the Indians who passed
through Titusville really touched at
this city, but probably they did not
However, it is conceded that their
mission was a fruitless one, and the
brown-skinned gentlemen, attired in
gaudy, abbreviated skirts and derby
mats, will continue periodical excur-
sions into Miami with their load of
alligator skins and other fruits of the
hunt and chase.
Some time ago two or three of the
Everglades Indians went to Oklaho-
ma and their friends here state that
they were considerably dissatisfied
on account of the cold weather in the
winter. The remnant of the tribe
now in the Everglades have no in
tention of leaving for Oklahoma or
anywhere else.
The Everglades Indians number in
the neighborhood of three hundred,
and are direct wards of the United
States government, although, strange
ly enough, they maintain a certain
independence in their demeanor
which would naturally arise from the
fact that they have never been con-
quered, and have given no evidence
of being reconstructed.-M Miami Her

HANDLING MILK AND BUTTER
ON THE FARM

/ The Progressive Farmer probabl
never printed more helpful articl,
on butter-making on the farm thai
that of Prof j. NJ Burgess. Ever.
farm woman who has anything to d.
with the milking or churning, shoult
read it and file it away. Some o
Professor Burgess texts to be always
kept in mind are reprinted herewith
Clean milk cannot be obtained il
the cows udder and tanks are GOV
cred with manure and dirt, AMI the
mixer simply cleans the teats before
milking. The entire udder should De
washed and dried and the tanks
moistened if clean milk is to be OBJ
tanned and good butter made"
THE mixer should milk with dry
hands and not dip the fingers in the
milk, as is too often done, to moisten
them"
"The last milk given is several
times as rich as the first, and the
mixer, for this reason, should milk
all the milk out of the udder, and not
give the calf the strippings.'
''The usual wire-gauze bucket
strainer will not do to depend upon
to clean the milk 1t should be strain
ed through at least three thicknesses
1e
The milk should be strained into
vessels that have been thoroughly
washed in hot water and then summed.
Do not use the same dish-cloth or
wash the milk vessels in the same
water in which the dishes from the
table have been washed"
do not mix the cream Of different
ages until several hours before
churning. If the cream as skinned
is placed in a common jar or bowl,
an unever souring will take place,
and much fat will be lost in the
churning."
Much of the poor quality of coun-
try or farm butter is due to the cream
being soured too fast, because it has
been kept too hot
THE best churn for the farmer
who makes three to five pounds of
butter at churning is "a small five
gallon barrel or swing shurn.'
ut costs very little to have the
name of the maker or the name of
the makers farm printed on the
parchment wrapper, and it will add
very $500, if the butter is good, to
the selling quality"

FRENCH FORCES IN MOROCCO

The French, like the ancient Ro-
mans and the British in India, sup
port their power in the conquered
territory by means of native troops.
In extending her Algerian military
system trained native troops were
gradually substituted for French reg
iments, then into these native regi-
ments there has constantly entered
sprinkling of French and other Eu-
ropeans, so that they have developed
a Franco-hybrid force.
This mixed conglomerate has a re-
markable homogeneity of esprit de
corps. Acclimated to the rugged
mountain regions of the coast and
able to withstand the heat of the
fierce sun-scorched hills and plains
and. deserts of the south, it is an eff

veterans-soldiers of fortune whose

amounts to over 100000 men,

From the fact that the democrats

SHALL THE PEOPLE RULE?

Il
One of the objections on the par
OF some newspapers to Woodrow vii
son as presidential candidate is hi
advocacy of the initiative referen
dunn and recall, three of the things
that Bryan has advocated for many
years, and which have been adopted
in some of the western states, anc
will be adopted in all the states be
fore many years. Why any true dem
ocrat should oppose either of these
! things we cannot understand, except
on the theory that he believes the
people have not sense enough to man
age the affairs of the country, and
therefore can't, be trusted.
We do not blame anyone who is
afraid to trust the people for oppos-
ing these reforms, for their adoption
would give the people great power
and would enable them to control
public affairs absolutely.
Believing as we do that under the
political system, which has been
built up in this country, the govern
ment is not truly representative and
will not be until the people have the
power to make it so, we are heartily
in favor of the adoption of the initia-
tive, the referendum and the recall.
In other words, We are in favor of
giving the people the fullest and most
complete power, so as they can absO-
lutely control the officials they elect.
We believe in truly representative
government, and that is really the
meaning of the initiative, the referen-
DUN and the recall. The initiative
and referendum supercedes no state
legislatures, as is claimed by some.
They merely provide the people a
means of securing laws which legis-
latures refuse to enact and of defeat
ing undesired laws which legislatures
do enact. The technical work of
drafting measures should be perform
ed by men of skill in that particular,
but the people, as whole, are the
best judges of principles involved,
and can be trusted to pass upon the
merits. Why should a democrat OBJ
ject to the people having this pow
err?
What objection can there be to the
recall of all officials, including iudg-
es, who prove dishonest or untrue af-
ter getting in office? Such a law
would improve the character and hon
esty of our officials very much. There
is no reason in a government like
ours, why any official, be he judge or
any other officer, should be above the
people, in whose hands is supposed
to rest all political power. No Judge
should be appointed for life, unless
the people be given the right to re-
move him by the recall if he goes
wrong. Such a law would make
| judges more careful in their decis-
ions.
About the only objection worth
considering that we have seen ad
vanced against the recall as applied
to judges is that it would make them
subservient to popular clamor and
cause them to render biased decis
ions for fear of being removed. This
proposition is not tenable from the
fact that Judge who will yield to
popular cIamor will also yield to the
wishes and interests of a political
boss or trust magnate. On the 9th
er hand, the recall would keep such
judges straight. Believing in the re
call will not hurt Wilson with the
people, however it may hurt hin
with those newspapers that are afraid
to trust the people.-Orangeburg Is
