CITY POLITICS GETTING HOT
Many Names Mentioned for "City Dads"-Reservation Elects
 School Board.

The local politicians are get ling their heads together and are framing tickets for the coming municipal election. Many of the present council and several new names have been proposed. Among the new names suggest ed are Al. Grigsby, the local ag- cnt of the Wells, Fargo Express company. He has served in the council for several years and is we'll qualified to fill the office.
 P. $. Hunt. the local nhotog- rapher, is also mentioned and if elected would fill the office with credit.
 Harry King seems to be the choice of many. He. is a large property owner in the town and one of the influential business men.
 Arthur Lang is being urged by many and he also has had much experience in city government, having served on the council for many years. He is one of the big business men of the community and is well qualified to fill the office and serve the city well.
 Al. White is also mentioned and several of his friends are desir- ous of seeing him elected. He is a large property owner and busi- ness man and if nominated, his friends claim, he will have walk away. They claim he will poll the largest vote.
 Councilman Ethical seems to be the desire of many. He has serv- ad more terms in the council than any other man and has always worked for the interest of the town. charles Day, Charles Me Gallun and k. k. Ritchie are all being urged to run.
 Tony Carlson and Ed. Wood, who have served for many years as cOuncilmen, have many friends who are endeavoring 10 have them re-enter the fight. Both of them would make it interesting if they should decide to allow their friends to present their names, as both have a very large following, who will work to elect them. Neither, however. has given any indicatiu that they would acce"d to the demands of their friends and run.
 The elect ion will be held next Tuesday. \ school director for the city aud three for he Rrscr- walton are also tn he elected. So far inc only name mentioned in he city is the Rev. w. II. Irigler.

He is the vice-president of the $. Blum company, and has a host of friends.

Birds and Cyclones.

It has been suggested that birds habitually make use of storms in travelling from one part of their range to another. It is pointed out that if a bird cannot find shelter il must be more cOmfOr- table on the wing than on the ground during storm, because in the ficrcest gale it flies ill a moving medium, like swimmer in a strongly flowing river.

MARY MCDOWELL BLAMES THE RICH FOR THE,
RANK CONDITIONS AMONG THE POOR


avenue has become the sceene Of
real free speech in Chicago. And on
every Sunday night one can hear
wonderfully human truths expressed
by people who know.
The church is the Grace Episcopal
church at 18th street and Wabash
avenue. The men in charge, Rev. w.
o. Waters and Rev. Bernard Iddings
Bell have been the first two clergy
men in Chicago to recognize and see
the Importance of bringing to light
the dawn of new era of social JUS
tice. -..r
Every Sunday night a forum is
conducted. A noted speaker is invited
to talk half an hour. When the speak
er has finished the audience asks
questions. And then five or six speak
ers, picked at random from the audi
ence, are allowed to talk five min
utes. And great things are discussed
in this way. ..".-..
Last night Miss Mary Mcdowell,
who has done such big work at the
university settlement, was the speak
er Her subject was, What Has Set
tlement Work Done for Social JUS
tice?"
mo one who is familiar with set
tlement work will claim that it is the
solution of any social problem said
Miss Mcdowell. ct is not a panacea
for all human ills. Settlements are
merely watch towers set out in the |
waste places to guide the faltering.
But settlement workers by living
close to the centers of all the people
who are in poverty can get their
viewpoint and in that way aid them"
Several pictures of conditions in
congested districts weer shown. One
of them was a picture of a parade of
the children of the poor in Birming-
ham, Eng. The picture depicted a
tragedy of existing. Theer were lit
tie children shown, wan-faced, ema-

must guard against just such an out
put of children. Little ones with dead
minds and dea dambitions. Only an.
awakened public conscience can pre-
vent it."
Several picture of houses in the
stockyards district were then thrown
on the screen. One was building
containing bakery, a saloon and a
Russian bath house. And there were
48 people living in the place.
''In ], JIG rooms in houses back O.
the yards" said Miss Mcdowell, 1--WE
found 1000 people living. The infant
death rate out there two years ago
was out of 8. Now, thank good
ness, it has been reduced to 1 out of,
5. believe the settlement work has
been responsible for this decrease. 3,
Industrial conditions are becom-
ing as bar in America as they are
abroad. Immigrant children are coop.
ed up in small rooms, with no sun
light, bad air and poor food. Young
girls and boys are forced to go to
work before they have developed
either their minds or their bodies.i
Such conditions unfit the children for
service in the world, and prove liza
bility rather than an asset to the
community. ... ..
"The community as whole is to
blame for these conditions. Few peo-
pie of the boulevards are not cruel.
They are ignorant and Indifferent.
They do not realize the suffering of
the poor"
Miss Mcdowell then invited ques-
ton. A man in the rear stood up.
What's the remedy?" he asked.
Il don't know" answered Miss Nc.
DoWel frankly. 1--WE never been able.
to find one. Socialism is one remedy.
SINCE tax is another. Take the NUM-
cipal government out of politics and
Wen be better off.

The following picture of condi-
tons in South Florida, taken from
the Ocala Banner, is not overdrawn,
except that we would not use the
word "boom"-a steady, substantial,
rock bottomed growth being a more
accurate description:
Mr.. Chas. V. Miller is back from
a more or less extensive trip over
South Florida. In his itinerary he
included Lakeland, st. Petersburg
Bradentown. Palmetto, Tampa and
other places. It is the boast Of
Lakeland that the records show that
more than a house day has been
built for every day during the past
year. ST. Petersburg, Bradentown
and Palmetto are overrun with land
buyers, and lands no richer than
ours are readily selling for as much
as three hundred dollars an acre.
Lands, the prices OF which are no
more than ten and twenty dollars
per acre, are attracting no attention
whatsoever. City property has in
creased in valuation the same as
fruit and farm lands. The woods
are full of people and the praise of
Florida is on every tongue. Mr.. Mil
Ter thinks that there will socn be an
overflow. and that Marion county
will get the benefit of the overflow,
and in a little while our woods will
be full of land buyers. We are
bound, some day, to be discovered
and when that day comes there will
be no retrocession, for our lands will
more and more appreciate in intrin-
sic value.

A district attorney up in New York
disguised with the senseless repeti-
tions required in indictments there
as we'll as in every other State in the
Union, which are merely so many
loopholes for the escape of criminals
and have nothing whatever in either
senae or sentiment to justify them,
hasIsuggested reform which will
mea the apprevalNof all his country
men who Believe in the effective ad-
ministration Of the. law. He suggests
that an indictment for murder shall
read as follows:
The grand jury of the county Of
Kings by this indictment accuse the
defendant of the crime of murder in
the first degree committed as follows:
The defendant on Oct. Is, 1909, in
county of Kings, wilfully, felonous-
ly, and of malice aforethought, shot
Peter Smith with revolver, thereby
infiicting injuries of which he died
on Oct. IS, 1907"
There are just sixty words in this
Indictment and 1t tells all that need
De known to put the defendant on
trial for the crime alleged. At pres
ent in that same county an indict-
ment for murder requires long nom
sensical rigmarole of repetitions and
verbal bosh containing 900 words,
with a chance to throw the indict-
ment out of court on demurrer con-
ceaied In nearly every line. More
power to this lawyer who wants to
abolish the medieval indictment! |

The Starke Telegraph is another
paper that has the good sense and
courage to announce that it is going
to raise it's subscription price from
81 to $3.50 per year. The Telegraph
is an exceptionally good county pa

creased price. Everything used in
the making of paper costs much
more now than formerly and it is but
a logical step to raise the price of

mo puedas mas" says.
The groves receive three or four
good spadings or hoeings, whichever
you choose to call it, every year IN
addition to the working at fertiliz-
ing time.
Fertilization
A litter of tin cans in the groves
looks strange to the Sicilian visitor
and it is not until fertilizing time
that one learns whence came these
unusual soil ornaments.
/
Until recent years no chemical
fertilizers have been used Oh the Is
| land of Sicily. Even now the i'm
porter and seller Of "abonos chem
iquos" reaps a very precarious liv-
ing, as his complete fertilizers and
materials are utilized by a very, very
small minority of growers
The reasons for this remarkable
condition are simple enough, poverty
of grove cultivators and abundance
of refuse manures.
The groves all lie close to cities
whose garbage waste is enormous.
Citrus men and farmers in general
are the eager voluntary garbage col
lectors. Hotel garbage, market
scraps of vegetables, trash, night
soil, dead animals, stable manure,
meat bones and every conceivable
waste of the city is avidiously sought
by the orchardist, hauled to the
groves. Continuous trenches are dug
down each ree-middle lengthwise
and crossways of the grove. The
trenches originate near the irriga-
ton bitches from which water can
be introduced into them at the de-
sired moment.
Groves are fertilized at the time
when the fruit is about half
grown (from an inch to an inch and
a half in diameter). This would be-
OF course, in the spring and early
summer time, when nltrifcation was
most active and the trees could best
utilize food.
The trenches are dug about two
and a half feet deep straight
through the grove, the dirt removed
being thrown against the base of
trees until needed to cover the com
post. The garbage, consisting Of

If their pictures do them justice

like hoboes and holdups of the tough
