NOT so BAD AS REPRESENTED

Perhaps conditions at the State
Reform School at Mariana are not
% bad as they were made to appear
BY G. A. Ball in a recent press in
terview. Now comes Probation Of
1lcer Henry Paulsen, Of Pensacola,
who says that Balls story is a tissue
Of misrepresentation and that Ball
himself is discharged employe Of
the institution. Answering some of
the Ball charges, Paulsen says in
an interview in the Pensacola News:
"There are two separate buildings

tions are absolutely perfect and
there is no bed in the school large
enough to hold four people. In the
white department there is a baker
who teaches the boys how to cook,
a tailor to teach them how to sew
and a dairyman who gives instruc-
tions. The boys are not kept locked
up, as Ball says, but are worked on
the farm part of each day. Only
those who are apt to run away are
kept under key. The boys work but
three hours in the morning, then
they are required to bathe. After
the bath the day is theirs to play
OF do as they please. Most Of tho
farming is done by the colored

day, which tells how T. K. Godbey
up in Alachua county Is making
something over $4,000 clear per acre
growing sweet potato slips. And it's
no fairy story either. Full details
are given in the article and Godbey
himself will vouch for it's truth.
You see, he's a reading farmer, a
thinking farmer, an experimenting
farmer and he doesn't allow any
antiquated prejudice in favor of old
ways to shut up his mind against
new facts and new truths, and con.
sequently he's always learning.
That man Godbey is a monumental
Floridian and we salute him. He
was frozen out of oranges in the
great freeze Of 1895 and he went to
work as day laborer on the rail-
road. But he had brains and ambi.
tion and he mixed both with Florida
soil and now he's a bigger factor in
her prosperity and development

A Modern Definition
Of an Up|0date Farm

Everyone should buy a farm. A
farm is not in these days by neces-
sary implication fifteen miles from
anywhere over a road sometimes a
mere meringue of mud. sometimes
up to the horses ears in dust.
To own a farm successfully it IS
rot necessary to have even theoreti-
cal knowledge of humus and le-
guInes, Cover-CrOps. rouShage, which
is Haw and which is Gee, or that
lime corrects acidity in the soil the
same. as cOoking-sOda relieves heart
burn. 1t is a good thing to have a
line OF talk like that, if only for the
purpose spoken Of in The Mikado"
to give artistic verisimiltude to an
otherwise bald and un%convincing
narrative. But it isn't really essen
tial.
The word FARM once somewhat
ear%thstained, is now become one Of
the neatest and most swept-up eX-
pressions that a body can use. Turn
not to the dictionary for its detini-
ton, that dusty depot of dead speech,
but to the Sunday newspaper, the

~ have been profoundly m
pressed during the progress OF tne
trial by the nature and extent OF the
evidence produced by the plaint'H
to the effect that he did not IN fact
use liquor to excess on any occasion.
81 am unwilling to believe that
these eminent men would purposely
misstate the facts or that under the
circumstances related by them and
their intimate acquaintance with
the plaintiff for so many years they
could be mistaken as to his habits.
81 therefore have been forced to
believe that those who have given
dispositions or made the statement
that. in their opinion, on occasions
to which they refer Mr.. Roosevelt
was intoxicated had insufficient
means and opportunity Of correctly
observing him and were mistaken.
up TO the time Of this trial ! had

that Il he had made such claim he
