Maybe the railway mail clerks
will say they are not to blame, but
the indications are that they are
thinking more about getting an in
crease of pay than discharging
their duties efficiently and cor
rectly. This is to serve notice on
them that we will not tolerate their
carelessness one week longer.
Years ago, railway mail clerks
running between Selma and Fauns-
dale, Ala, were shot for their
carelessness by indignant citizens,
and some of these citizens are now
living in South Florida and still
know how to shoot.

THURSDAY, MAR 20, 1913

In behalf Of the people of Lee
and DeSoto counties, we demand
an immediate and thorough inves-
tigation of the railway mail service
in this quarter of the state. AT
the same time the postmaster at
Fort Myers should have careful
attention. There is rotteness, out
rageous rotteness somewhere.

Inadequate Mail Facilities

We sincerely trust that the dem
ocratic administration will give
earnest attention to the details of
the mail delivery system through
out the United States, and partic-
ularly in South Florida. The de-
livery of mails in this particular
section has bebome a farce and a
\ scandal.
To illustrates: Packages addressed
from Punta Gorda to Fort Myers
and leaving at noon often do not
reach Fort Myers until ten p. m.
and sometimes packages and let
ters from 1T. Myers addressed to
Punta Gorda are carried to jack
sonville and take two days to
reach their proper destination.
We do not know whether this is
because of insufficient help in
handling the mails, or outrageous
carelessness on the part of the
railway postal clerks. We are
inclined to the latter cause, for it
is utterly ridiculous TO suppose
that letter or package leaving
Punta Gorda at noon and address
ed to Ft. Myers, only twenty
eight miles distant, with only two
or three insignificant post-offices
between, cannot be correctly and
promptly delivered in Ft. Myers
by at least 3 p. M; but instances
sworn to may be cited in proof of
the fact that these delays have
frequently happened.
The conclusion is, that either
the railway mail clerks have more
than they can possibly do, or else
they are grossly incompetent.
The condition calls for an immedi-
ate investigation, we which empha-
tically demand.
Another instance: Letters leav-
ing Punta Gorda at seven forty
eight a. IN. addressed to Tampa,
which should be delivered in Tam
pa by three pm. ARE often not de-
ivered until night or the morning
Ifter.
For the Lords sake, Mr.. Burl-
on, give this trouble your pr ompt
nd earnest consideration.

Trying TO Dupe the People

stitution of Florida to prove his
contention that the new counties
to be created out of portions of
DeSoto's territory will be forced
to continue levying and collecting
a special fve-mill tax to help pay
| for Arcadia's new courthouse.
The contention is mere fol de
rol, invented in an effort to dupe
the people. 1t is only a vain hope
of Arcadia to hold DeSoto's de-
sorting daughters to aid in paying
for a luxury.which was not need
ed and only wanted by the county
seat.
Does any fair-minded man
think that the trainers of our con-
stitution intended that in the cre-
alton of new counties these latter
would be burdened with obligations
from which they would get no
benefit or return? In the division
of DeSoto county, the new coun-
ties will not get any value out of
a courthouse in Arcadia; and Sec
ton 3 of Article s of the
constitution was not intended
to be operative to the extent of
permitting robbery, as it would
if the contention of the "editor-
lawyer" could be made to hold
good.
1t is the spirit Of our organic law,
the intent that will apply in this
instance. And it is certainly not
the spirit or intent of Section 3 of |
Article s that new county should
be responsible for the future liza
bilities of the parent county. Area
dia's courthouse is not a present
liability in so far as the part of
the constitution cited applies; it
is merely an item of expense that
is provided for by a tax to be lev
led and collected from year to
year. 1t is like the salary of the
county superintendent of public
instruction, which will have to be 6
forthcoming in the old county for
years to come after division, the S
same as now = this is a future and a
continuing liability; and does any
me think that the new county will
ave to contribute toward the sal. e
ry of this official in the old coun- b
y? ,.. il
Why should we of the new t.
ounty help f1ish paying for Ar p
adia's courthouse? If we; do so, a
re will certainly be part owners tt
a it and entitled to payment for Z
ur interest. Why not let the old c.
ounty finish paying for it, and W
imply repay us for the pro rata tt
7e have already paid on it? That 81
J the simplest way out of it, and n
5 the way it will be done. Il
When division is effected the new g
ounties will no longer have to p
evy and collect five mills to be Ii
,aid on Arcadia's courthouse, but IL
an demand to be reimbursed for ii
What they have already paid on it. s.
This absurd contention that the =
lew counties will have to help
inish paying for Arcadia's court l
house shows of itself the motive of y
he opposition to division--the s
lesire to hold the county intact |,
or ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. If it were T
lot for this, there would be but p p
title opposition to division. Mi Q
Uni, the county seat of Dade, is il
lot opposing the proposed divi-
ion of that county. Quite con-
rast to the situation in DeSoto,
,ut Miami has no courthouse to
Jay for and is probably not so set I

WHAT ARE BACTERIA?

DIR. Chas. E. North of New York has
presented very clear and simple con-
eeption of Bacteria. All living things
are either plant or animal Bacteria
belong to the vegetable kingdom. Just
as most plants from large trees to
small moss plants are useful to man,
so are most bacteria. Just as there
are very few poisonous plants, just
amongst the many useful ones. Bac-
terra are the Oldest plants and ances-
tors of all vegetable life.
''Before animals were created. there
was no tuberculosis or typhoid, or
diphtheria, but after the animals and
men appeared, some of these tiny
plants accidentally took up their resi-
dence in the noses and threats and in
testines of men.
Having once learned to grow in
animals many of them have entirely
lost their power of growing anywhere
else and cannot live at all without the
warmth and nourishment which they
receive in living persons.
This being so, the disease germs con-
tinue their existence, only by being
passed from one individual to another.
Recent studies have discovered in
dividuals who have been called
carriers. )" Without being i'll them
selves, they keep bacteria alive in their
own systems and pass them along to
victims.
The most common diseases thus
carried" are tuberculosis, typhoid and
diphtheria
Soper has reported the case of
Typhoid Mary" a cook, said to have
infected 90 persons, living in families
residing in localities in states she,
herself had no symptoms of disease in
spite of harboring millions of typhoid
germs.
While the majority of infectious dis
eases are due to vegetable parasites.
a few due to microscopic animal para
sites, called protozoa. These, for the
most part inhabit the blood. The most
common diseases due to germs of this
class are syphilis, malaria, dysentery
and sleeping sickness. The three lat
ter are uncommon in northern climates.
1t has been with the greatest difficult
ty that the disease germs carried as
dsscr bed above could be killed. In
tsresting work is being done by hac-
terio ogists in "sicking on" friendly
germs to kill the germs of diphtheria
carriers, The process is called over
riding" 1t is not unlike turning FER
rets loose in rat infested building.

WILD BEASTS BECOME PLAGUE
Leaves Koreans at the Mercy
of Jungle Providers.

We learn from the Jiji that as q
result of the prohibition against the
carrying of firearms by Koreans, and
also against the importation of rifles,
fowling pieces, and ammunition from
Japan, with view OF preventing the
insurgents obtaining further supplies
of arms and ammunition, the hunting
of wild game in Korea has been en-
tirely stopped. In consequence rap
Id increase in the number of wild
beasts is taking place, and tigers and
wolves are being constantly met with
in the fields in the interior, thus rem
dering travelling in these parts ex'
tremely dangerous. The havoc
wrought by tigers is particularly evil
dent in Ping-eu province, where no
less than SO persons have been at
acked by these animals lately. At one
place tiger entered the house of o
farmer and killed baby. The gu
thorities in Korea are becoming
alarmed at the rapid increase in tina
number of wild animals, ard have
made inquiries Of the geological de-
partment in the College Of Science In
the Toxic Imperial university regard
ing the best means for the destruction
of tigers and wolves.

BETTER FARM METHODS
TAUGHT in SCHOOLS

truly rural spirit is being aroused
IN many of the country schools of the
state.
Young people who expect to become
teachers in rural districts are being
trained to conduct their schools so
that they may be of real benefit tn
the farmers who support them. Not
only are agriculture, nature study, and
like subjects being taught but, in
many of these schools, the regular
studies are being treated from the
standpoint of the farmer and in the
spirit of the country.
Not the least important outgrowths
of the new rural teaching are the ag-
ricultural contests and cemonstra-
tions which are held in the schools or
under the direction of the teachers
and county superintendent. Of the
Al school supervisors reporting to the
state superintendent upon county
fair exhibits, 33 reported that farm
district schools formed large part
of their displays. The Superinten-
dent of the schools of Lafayette coun-
ty reports that number of the rural
schools, over which he has supervision,
have formed leagues and are holding
monthly contests.
Nearly 900 boys attending the Saint
Croix county rural schools have en-
rolled in a corn growing contest. pedi-
greed seed being furnished them by
the Wisconsin Agricultural Expert
ment association and prizes being o.
fered for the best exhibits made at
the annual corn show at some point
within the cotnty. In these annual
exhibits the frst prize is generally q
scholarship to the Young peoples
course in the College of Agriculture
given at the time of the farmers
course.

CLAREMORE, March i.-(SpeciaD
Doctor Frederick Hoffman who has
been in Claremore since last Saturday
making an analysis of Radium water,
left this morning for New York. where
he will meet Princess Stefania kaun-
it2, who il on her way from Vienna.
When Dr.. Hoffman arrived last
Saturday. he called Dr Beeson into
consultation. and it was not generally
known until this morning what his
plans were. However, in an inter
view with DR.. Beeso this morning,
we learned that DR. Hoffman was sent
here from Vienna by Princess Stef-
ania Kaunitz to make a test of Ra-
dium water, and If lie found 1t all
right, she will come here and take
the baths for eczema. which she has
had since Il very small girl. The
Princess is twenty-five years OF age,
and has visited every bathing place
In Europe trying to obtain relief. She
has been to Carlsbad twice, the last
time, she spent six months there, but
DR.. Hoffman says she continues to
grow worse all the time. He further
states that he believes Radium water
will give her relief. and goes further
to say that II 1t does. 1t will make
Claremore the Carlsbad Of America.
Before leaving for New York, the
doctor secured apartments at the Sc
quoyah hotel. and stated that the
Princess would be here within three
weeks. lie sent her q cablegram this
morning to come to Claremore, Okla
