Furthermore, you will remember
that there was a windstorm called
earthquake on one Of the islands
South of Italy within r. RS term
of Office. 1t caused abo1t as much
loss of life and damage to property
as Texas or Kansas undergoes each
year by the cyclone route. (But
Teddy refused aid for Americans
when our west coast had a real
earthquake) Aid for any State did
not look good to Teddy, therefore,
about four million dollars in -four,
blankets, and cash was wrung from
Americans and sent abroad, and a
few holder publications gave out the
exquisitely consoling thought that
the Pope would help to place this
fund where most needed. 1t was
when the U. S. fleet was touring the
world and happened at Italy at
the hour of this "whirl-wind." Soon
Mrs. Roosevelt went to italy and af-
ter his African hunt T. r. "came
by Rome, and since then so many
good American people have asked
the question where did T. R. get
about two million dollars for his
"whirlwind" campaign, both for
nomination at Chicago last June and
for the present work of launching a
new party. Why did T. R. have his
meeting of governors and invite

and William J. Bryan as the two

THIS SCHOOL TEACHER WAS
NOT PERMITTED TO EXPRESS
OPINION OF TEXT BOOKS.

Dear Sir: When lived near
Lawton, Okla, the question Of
adopting school textbooks for our
new State, came before the county
normal. / objected to the adoption
of a certain geography because it
said, Rome is a noted city, made
famous by reason of the fact that
the Pope lives there" The lobbyist
for said set of books said it was my
duty to teach with whatsoever text
book that may be placed in my
hand and that I should not express
an opinion on their selection.
Later in a small town northeast
of Lawton 1 observed that the post
master had been an old time rail-
roader and had an eye to business.
He employed Roman Catholic young
ladies for the general delivery
window in his office till some half
score had thus extended their ac-
quaintance and recruited their ward
robe till they were married off"
The Master Mason complained that
Baptists and Methodist girls should
be given a chance as 80 per cent of
the towns population were Protest
ants. But, "no Stree" another Ro-
manist was imported from a nearby
town. About this time a travelling
Masonic lecturer came through and
his audience filed to overflow the
Baptist church (largest in the
town. This lecturer kept his audi

A Defense OF the Florida Drain
ageWOrk i'm the EVERGLADES.

IN Watsoas Nagagine was published the
very first article which advocated Gov
ernor Broward's splendid proposition for
the drainage of the Everglades.
The Governor had visited me, at our place
near Fort Lauderdale and had, at great
length, explained to me what his plans meant
for the general good of the country.
He made convert out of me, and now that
he is no longer among us it is a pleasure to
recall that [ did everything in nv F power to
hold up his hands, while he was in the land
of the living.
There isn't sounder business proposition
on earth than the drainage of the vast, weird,
almost treeless waste known as the Ever
glades
The farms which smile where /, few
years ago, shot water fowl, are pictures of
fruitfulness. 1t may be that spectators
have sold much land on which the water yet
lies, but the State is pledged to system of
drainage which will reclaim every foot of it.

Everglade land sold by the gallon" than
there was in Proctor Knotts famous Duluth

to such articles as that published below:
THE EVERGLADES DRAINAGE SCHEME
That the reclamation of the Everglades by
drainage is being ignorantly and inadequately
carried on by the State of Florida, under whose
auspices it has been undertaken, is openly charged
by Engineers News (New York, July 25) This
paper asserts that those in charge of the enter

are doing will produce results that will pay for
the money expended; that both they and the
