Another Florida Gold Mine

The newspapers have exploited
repeatedly the many resources OF
Florida, the multitude of oppor-
tunities for accumulating wealth,
but there is one highly profitable
vocation to which they have not
called especial attention and that
Is the hotel business. In every
instance in this state wherein a
hotel has been judiciously located
and properly conducted, it has
paid handsomely. In proof of
this, many instances might be cit
ed. but few will suffice:
After being in the hotel busi-
ness in Jacksonville for only six
Or seven years, H. N. O'Neill left
here with SIO0,0oO.O0 profits and
lied in Columbus, GA.
Twelve or fifteen years ago, G..
N. Crawford left Leesburg with a
Jew dollars in his pocket, went to
st. Petersburg, leased hotel and,
after running it two or three
years, bought it and paid for it.
He has since made two large adj
ditions to it, trebling its size, and
tho property is now worth $780,
100000 and is all paid for.
w. L. Parker, some years ago,
went to Tampa and opened a ho-
tel in cheap wooden building
and in the past seven wears, he
has been able to build, equip and
pay for one of the biggest and
sinest hotels in the state. We

at the Panama Pacific Exposition

Mr.. French will experience great
difficulty in securing respectable
exhibit from Florida, for San
Francisco is very long distance
from here and the Californians
are fright on the spot and,
therefore, can easily eclipse any
exhibit that Florida may make.

tel for enough to support her in
luxury for the balance of her
days.
At Daytona, there are nearly as
many hotels as dwelling houses
and all of them are filed with
guests during the four months of
the winter season. In that time,
the proprietors make enough to
enable them to close their houses
for eight months in the year and
to 90 up north and live like lords.
Instances might be multiplied,
but it is enough to say that every
well managed hotel in good To-
cation is making money.
Now, if the foregoing should
cause any to seriously contemplate
entering the hotel business, to in
sure success he should consider
two things: first, capable manage.
ment is absolutely essential, as it
is in every other line of business;
and, second, good location. Be-
sides well supplied table and
cleanliness and comfort through
out, the hotel should offer exter-
nal inducements, such as conven-
fence to business or to good hunt
ing and fishing; grounds. OBJ
serve these requirments, then adj
vertise judiciously and you will
get rich honestly and as quickly
as reasonable man should wish.

The Cour House Matter Again

| The esteemed Arcadia News
takes up good deal of the news
and editorial space of its last
weeks issue in denying that there
was any graft in the building or
equipping of the court house.
That was all right and very be-
coming in the News, if it Was not
IFS duty, and the only thing to
which we object is the effort of
that paper 10 hold The HERALD
responsible for all that has been
said on the subject Of graft. In
deed, the News virtually assumes
the position, if it does not directly
allege, that The HERALD has
stated and charged that there was
graft in building and furnishing
the court house. This does The
HERALD an injustice which the
News should correct.
All that The HERALD has said
on the subject may be summed up
in the statement that it has only
called attention to the rumors of
graft that began circulating be-
fore the contract for building the
court house was let and have con-
tinued in circulation ever since,
to the fact that many people gave
credence to these rumors, and that
this widespread suspicion was
strengthened by the virtual con-
fession Of graft made by Hill p.
Read, one of the contractors, in a
letter which he wrote recently to
the Tampa papers. Now The
HERALD is not responsible for
the rumors, for the suspicious of
various people or the confession
of Hill p. Read; its responsibility
consists only in calling attention
to these things.
In trying to dispell the suspi-
cions of graft, the News makes
long argument in the course Of
which it says that the grand jury
investigated the matter and found
that there was no graft. We
might intimate that grand juries,
as we'll as other people, some
times err, whether Intentionally
or not we do not know: hence, as a
general thing, they are somewhat

ida legislature of 1918.
Not very long ago, there was a
young man on train going up to
Brooksville; and on this writer
inquiring his object in going there,
he said preparations were being
made there TO build a new court
house and that he wanted to get a
contract to supply some materials
for the building and, if he sue
ceeded, the firm for which he
would contract and of which he

GERMAN MASSES
FORCED To BEAR
HEAVY TAXLOAD
Producers Pay for Increased Arm
aments While Wealthy IdIers
Escape All Burdens.
BY FREDERICK WERNER.
Special Gable to The American.

BERLIN, July 5.-Once more the
party of the center has triumphed
in Germany's domestic politics and
has forced through political COM
promise which satisfied nobody. The
political situation is drastically de-
scribed in the radical 'Berliner Tage-
blatt," which writes:
The compromise pudding is ready
in the black kitchen, the chef has
tasted it and declared 1t excellent.
Now he presses a spoon into the
hands Of Right and Left and with a
grin of satisfaction he encourages
them to eat heartily and not be afraid
of indigestion. The pudding may be
a trifie heavy, but 1t must be eaten
with God for king and country"
And the chef who, in 1909, made the
German people swallow the financial
reform smiles and says: What /
have done is we'll done Centrum is
trump and always remains trump in
the German empire"
Nothing, of course, is definitely de-
cided yet, for the compromise must
still pass through several stages be-
fore it becomes the law of the land,
but the party Of the center is sure
Of final victory, so sure that it has
loudly announced that once more 1t
has got it's foot firmly on the neck
on that part Of the German people
who increase the national wealth of
Germany. These people must pay,
while the wealthy idlers get off cas-
lily, almost without feeling the extra
financial burden with which the in
creased ornaments have saddled the
taxpayers.
1t is because Of the inability of
the upper and lower strata of the
producing classes to Cooperate polit-
ically that these have been forced to
leave the Government in the hands of
a bureaucracy which has gradually
more and more become a mere tool
OF the reactionary landowners, while
the greatest influence is exerted by
Centrum, the strongest party in the
Reichstag
Now Germans are to see and enjoy
the fruits Of this political alliance in
their worst form: super tax on
thrift A punishment is to be melted
out to those who even during the re-
cent hard times have had the impru-
dence to go on increasing national
wealth.
The new compromise provides for
distribution of the burdens of taxa
tion, which is an even greater insult
than the financial reform OF 1909, and
which may yet prove to be the straw
which will break the camers back

p The plaintiff is well known, both
in America and the British Isles, I'M
der her stage name.
The settlement was announced
when the case was called in the high
court of justice this week in a court
room crowded with fashionable wom-
en- and actresses, who had come in
anticipation of listening to some in
teresting evidence.
The young Marquis had previously
offered $4,000 to settle the case, and
many people had thought Miss Mark
ham unwise not to accept the offer.
When Miss Markham insisted on
proceeding with the suit London Cos
sips anticipated that she had a sensa-
uonal story to tell. and interest in the
suit rose accordingly.
The damages paid to-day are the
heaviest for many years in a breach
of promise suit.
Didn't Deny Promise.
Sir Edward Carsons, representing
Miss Markham, said she met the
Marquis last year when he made a
promise of marriage to her which was
not denied. Subsequently at the de-
sire of his father, the Marquis broke
off the engagement. In doing so he
wrote to Miss Markham that he
wanted her TO believe his action had
been taken from a sense of duty, gen
ulnely believing it best for both par
ties
The Marquis further wrote:

sition. You will always be my ideal!

The letter concluded, Your broken

of Northampton's nickname
Father Halted Wedding.
Sir Edward said the MARQUIS of
Northampton had made provision for
the lady, such as she would have been
entitled to had he made her a marh-
chioness. He then announced the set
tlement for the sum of $25O,O00.
Henry E. Duke, counsel for the de-
PENDANT, said in confirming the settle
ment that when the Marquis Of
northampton, who was then Earl
Compton, asked his fathers consent
to his marriage with Miss Markham.
he laid upon him an absolute prohibi-
ton and took from his son a solemn
engagement that he would not pursue
his desire to marry the plaintiff.
Miss Markham was born in India
on July 20. 1885. She made her first
appearance in Manchester in 1904 as
Celia in LAS You Like It." In De-
cember Of the same year she ap-
peared at the Lyceum Theater, New
York, with Sir Charles Wyndham. as
Elaine Shrimpton. in THE Case Of

many other parts. She made her first
London appearance as Claire Berton
in Leah Kleschna," and also ap-
peared in many other plays here, in

London's recent successes.

LONDON, July 5.-Queen Mary,
who is a most excellent housewife
with an innate hatred Of useless
waste and a pronounced love of an
tique furniture, has been conducting
a systematic search Of all the box
rooms in the immense Windsor Cas-
tie, comparing the contents with the
official inventory lists.
AS a result she has not only I'M
earthed a great many forgotten old
treasures carelessly thrown aside I'M

ties, but she also has discovered that
a great many valuable articles of fur
niture were lent to personal friends
of King Edward, who have never seen
fit to return them.
All these arlstOCratic borrowers
have now received a note from the
court asking them to return the things
without delay, which some of them
will find rather hard, having sold or
given away these things, which they
always looked upon as presents from
the King.
