FLORIDA lands.

The immense undertaking OF drain
Ing the Everglades Of Florida is now
In progress ana hundreds of thou
sands OF acres Of this land are being
II has been purchased BY our own
Tulsa people
An unofficial report on the agri-
cultural and horticultural possibilities
o. the Everglades by Congressman E.
II. Bathrck of ohio who has had
nine years experience as n farmer in
Florida, has been issued and is very
interesting. Some Of his conclusions
are as follows
That the land Of the Everglades Is
known as sawgrass auckland.
1t does not contain all the elements
Of plant food and must be fertlized.
Its porosity makes IT very suscep-
tible to drought and 1t must be irri-
gated.
when extremely dry, being a pcet,
It will burn readily and the fires are
very difficult to eNtinguish.
Even when drained those who have
attempted to farm have found 1t in
some cases impossible 20 work with
teams because of the loosenoss Of the
soil, both planting and gathering OF
crops being done by hand II is stat
ed that one farmer was compelled to
wheel his crop off the land with a
wheelbarrow upon boards laid upon
the soil
The fall of the Everglades is about
six inches to the mile in fifty miles,
which is very slight aud not suffi-
Client to take water Off fast enough
TO save crops in case Of flood.
As to the winter temperatures, il
may be said that the temperature at
Jupiter and Fort Myers from 1898
to 1906. inclusive, showed frost six
out Of nine years at Jupiter and eight
out of nine years at Fort Myers In
1905 the temperature went down to
= degrees at Miami which is at the
extreme south end of the Everglades
Notwithstanding these drawbacks
Mr.. Bathrick believes that the ogri-
cultural and the horticultural posi-
bliucs Of Florida are very great His
report simply lis another proof that
everything is not gold that glittcrs.
There may DE great opportunities in
the Everglades OF Florida, but It Will
probably take more money and more
science 10 succeed there than in amy
other state of the Union

OMAHA. Oct. 1s.-To the Editor OF The
Bee: There seems to be a misunder-
standing in the minds Of some OF your
readers with regard to the recent utter
ance OF Rev. NJ. B. williams In First
Methodist Episcopal church. this city,
In re Italy and Turkey. l happened to
hear him and am quite satisfied that
sympathy with the Turk as such was
furthest from his thought. That the act
of Italy is simply piece OF stealing is
self-evident, and equally so is II that Il
would not be even attempted II Turkey
could strike with the one weapon at her
dlsposal-her army.
Mr.. William simply as a minister Of tho
gospel which was sent to all people,
sees In this overt act of italy a nominally
CHRISTIAN people, a serious hindrance
to the work OF the missionary of the gos-
pei among Mohammedan' peoples and his
opinion is apparently correct.
In conclusion permit me a word con-
corning Turkey. Admitting that their
cruelties toward others outside their faith
have been frequent and awful, have not
so-oalled Christian peoples, time and
again practiced cruelties that were
fiendish? The Turk has stood as wit
ness for monotheism In a world bowinE
to many things called gods. He has
stood for sobriety as against the uni
versal intemperance OF Christian nations.
do not want to pose as an apologist for
the unspeakable Turk. but we need TO be
careful to attain to the condition. with
out sin, before we dare to hurl the stone
of condemnation against others. Hts
time OF dominion seems to be rapidly
running towards its end and when that
comes will be witnessed what is even
now foreshadoved. despite ali our pro-
fessions OF peace. more bloody conflict
amongst Christian peoples than ever be-
fouled the earth before H.R.B.

Writing Plays and Novels.

Brander Mathews and Arnold
Bennett do not quite agree on which
is the easier to write, a novel or a
play. The professor thinks the
novel is and predicts the doom Of
fiction because It is too easy to at
tract and hold the attention of men
of talent. The novelist and play
wright, Bennett says II is much
easier TO pen a play and that many
persons who can write q stage pro-
duction could never write a novel.
What most people will agree to is
this, that 1t is a simple thing to
write either q novel or q play. that

writing is not to be called a task at

doomed, as Prof. Mathews predicts,
because producing It no longer ap-
peals to talented men, then its de-
mise will be good thing, both for
the talented man and the public,
provided he takes up something
worth while. II the doom OF the
poor play could be predicted upon
the same basis, II would be even

ItalY,s Modern Warfare.

If war had to come In Tripoli, It
seems quite well that Italy has en-
ployed the aeroplane in Its maneu-
vers. Perhaps the result of It's expert
ment may be helpful to other coun-
tries; at least, II will be most inter-
esting, Balloons, of course, have,
for monitory purposes. been used in
war, but no aircraft has yet lent SER
vice as an instrument OF defense or
offense and since the origin OF the
aeroplane, the question has been
often asked whether It is available
for this purpose
Yet 1t is scarcely probable for the
question to be conclusively answered
by any test Italy may make in Tri-
poll, for the chief reason that Turkey
Is not prepared in this province, II
anywhere else, TO resist either aerial
or terrestrial onslaught, and this
being the case. there would be no
offensive work for the aircraft to
perform. Partially, though, the ex-
pertinent might demonstrate the
feasibility OF the aeroplane for at
tack or for accurate shooting.
II Is rather incongruous that this
test OF the most modern device for
warfare should be made away off in
the retarded east, even though by q
European power. So far as condi.
tions in this Northern Africa land
are concerned, they are said to be
highly favorable to tho use of the
aeroplane for military purposes. At
tention has been called to the lack
of gasoline reservoirs. but this seems
but minor detail that could be sup
piled with Standard oil facility in
no time.

Professional Faultfindinps

1t is well for people to get beyond
the point where they can see nothing
but a selfish motive In others ac-
tions. Some folks. both in their at
titude toward each other and toward
their government. insist In looking
first for the ulterior side and even
when only a worthy purpose is dis
closed, they are slow to accept II or
believe in II. Having jumped to the
conclusion OF sinister motive, he
prefers to hold TO that even in the
face Of proof 10 the contrary.
The so-called ''muckraker" has
done his part toward fostering
this habit. He has deliberately dis
regarded sources OF information and
authority in order to keep up his
campaign of agitation. For instance.
in relation 10 the Nicaragua ana Hon
duras trade treaties. he has gone
ahead with his unauthentie declara-
tions that they were negotiated in the
interest OF certain American finan-
ciers, totally ignoring the assurances
of the president to the contrary and
his explanation that II was thought
advisable to favor a contract with
American financiers instead OF Eu-
ropean, because this would keep
trade In the United States. Certainly
there is no hidden and sinister pur-
pose in that, and nothing objection
able TO those who have the best in
terests OF their own country at
heart. The presidents word in this
connection surely is both as good
and as authoritative as that OF an ir-
responsible agitator and unfriendiy
critic, whose stock in trade Is profess
sional fault-findlng.
