MINISTER IS GLAD
THAT MORGAN DIED
Rev. Richmond Says He was
Great Burden for Episco-
pal Church to Garry.
National News Association

NEW HAVEN, Conn, April 3.-The
Rev. George Chalmers Richmond,
Philadelphia Episcopal clergyman,
created a sensation at the meeting of
the Connecticut alumni of the Yale
Divinity School today by saying he
was not sorry that J. p. Morgan was
dead and that he thought the Episco-
pal church would make greater prog
ress as a result. The Rev. Mr.. Rich
mond later amplifed his statement by
saying did J. P. Morgan go to
heaven, and if not why not? Like the
loss of the Titanic and the Ohio floods
the death of Mr. Morgan was Provi-
Dental / believe that as result Of
his death the Episcopal church will
make far more rapid progress. Mr..
Morgan had the house of bishops I'M
der his control and he had the diocese
of New York absolutely in the hollow
of his hand. Under his rule more at
tention was paid to cathedral build
ing than to public welfare. He was
a man who believed in inequality abb
solutely and cared nothing for union
labor"
Mr.. Richmond raised a storm by bit
terly denouncing the proposed mar
riage of John Jacob Aston to Miss
Madaline Force prior to that event.

BOULEVARD PLANS
TO Be MADE SOON
Matter Now in the Hands OF
Fred r. Charles, City
Engineer.

1t Is probable that plans for the
construction of the Whitewater Boule-
ward will be started soon by City En-
gineer Charles. The boulevard mat
ter was brought up several years ago
and nothing has been done towards
the construction OF a roadway since
that time.
The proposed boulevard Will run
along the bluffs on the west side of
the river from the Doran bridge to
South F. or l. streets. II will over
look the river the entire distance. IL
is expected that 1t will be macada-
mized and oiled and made into one OF
the smoothest roadways in the city.
City officials expect IL TO be the most
popular drive for automobiles and car
riages in the city. A walk Will be
constructed on the side next to the
river for pedestrians.

be many million boxes short. The

FLORIDA IN THE LEAD
With Schools and Churches in Pro-
portion TO Population

Considering population, Florida
takes the lead. This is especially
interesting in view of the fact that
during the last decade the popula-
ton in Florida increased more
than 40 per cent against an aver
age of Is per cent in all other
southern states. Thus, this heavy
movement of population to Flori-
da finds expression in it's great
activity in industrial and develop
ment enterprises, in the building
of schools and churches.
In schools, considering its pop
ulation, Florida made greater
showing than any other state in
the south, though, of course, sew
eral states of much larger popula-
tion exceeded Florida in actual
number of schools; and yet against
the 101 schools for Florida, Ken
lucky with its population of g.
300, 900 as against Florida's $780,
900, had only S3 school building
items.
Naturally, with educational pro-
gress as shown in these items has
gone progress in religious mat
ters, and the number Of church
building items reported by Flori-
da is interesting when compared
with what other states are doing
in the school building figures
quoted.
1t must, however, be understood
that where there is a great influx
of new population, school and
church buildings of necessity are
constructed in larger number in
proportion to population. Man

FLORIDA FOR CATTLE
Statistics Show Rapid Growth of
Industry Last Ten Years

That Florida is destined to be.
come the greatest cattle raising
state east of the Mississippi is q
fact that gains credence by those
who have studied conditions, anJ
brief review of few statistics
will show the rapid growth of the
cattle industry in the last ten
years.
Climate as an asset has never
been adequately valued by the live
stock raisers of the United States.
Florida possesses unlimited posi-
bilities in this line.
With excellent transportation
facilities, both rail and water, To-
Gated in close proximity to the
best markets of the world, the OPP
portunities presented will not long
be neglected.
Cattle and hogs can be, and are
being grown in Florida under the
most favorable conditions at the
least expense and closer to remun-
erative markets than in any other
part of the North American conti-
nent.
Florida is essentially an agricul-
tural state. Her future depends
largely upon the intelligent de-
velopment Of her agricultural re-
sources, Her timber, muck, prai-
rie and other wet lands are of
great productivity and wide
udaptability, while her climate is
unexcel!ed. Upon her great agri-
cultural resources, vast herds of
cattle, hogs and sheep may subsist
the year round at nominal cost.
Hence Florida is already u great
beef-producing state, and the hog
industry is steadily developing.
At county fairs as fine cattle, hogs
and sheep are exhibited AS eau be
raised in any state. -J.omeseeker.
