safe to say that If there were two first
class motor roads, one from Jacksonville
TO Miami and one from Jacksonville 10
The West Coast, there would be almost
an unbroken line OF automobiles TO be
seen on these roads during the entire
winter
New England, with its SPLENDID roads
and its fine summer climate, draws tens
OF thousands OF motorists who annually
leave in that section many millions of
dollars. Indeed, il has been carefully
estimated by railroad men that the tour.
ist business yields 10 New England an
annual crop of 100000, 900. This is
probably conservative estimate.
Moreover, il is increasing more rapidly
probably Than any other crop in the
country New England does not appeal
TO the motorist for a summer trip so
strongly as Florida would appeal 10 the
motoriSt for winter trip if two main
highways, well constructed, existed in
Florida, one down the East Coast and
one TO the West Coast.

pable OF indefinite development. 1t is
possible by active work on the part of
the people and the railroads 10 easily

full factor in accomplishing this wonld
be good roads, There ought to be
good roads all over Florida connecting

The sooner the business men and the

RAPID GROWTH OF
WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

1t begins to looks as if the sutfra-
gets in old England who have been
making a militant campaign with
brickbats and broomsticks are really
about to win the fight. At least Mr.
Asquith the British premier has final
ly hauled down his colorS and has con
scented to receive (by proxy COM
mittee of suffragettes when the equal
suffrage bill comes before the house.
He will not receive them in person,
but will delegate two Of his ministers
to do so. And Judging from the pre-
sent attitude of the ministry it is not
at all impossible that woman suffrage
will be granted during the present
session Of parliament. British wo-
men, it should be remembered, are al.
ready permitted to vote in all elections
except those for members of parlia-
ment, and are far in advance of their
sisters in this country.
The cause of woman suffrage has
made rapid advance in the past year
in the United States. Previous TO
1912 the only states that placed wo-
men on voting equality with men
were Colorado, Idaho, Utah, Washing
ton and Wyoming.
The only foreign countries that gave
them equal suffrage previous to 1872
were Austria, Norway and Sweden,
Iceland, Isle of Man, and New leland.
But during the year 1912 womaa
suffrage was adopted in Arizona, Cal
ifornia, Kansas and Oregon, while 1T
was defeated by narrow margins in
Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin. In
still other states the question was on
" defeated from reference to the PEG
pie by small vote in the legislatures,
Even the south, our conservative,
democratic south is waking up. In
this section it is seen that where re-
publican states have adopted woman
suffrage the electorate has been about
doubled. The game is one at which
democrats can also play. Our women
do not appear especially anxious for
the ballot, but we believe they could
be induced to accept it in order to pre-.
serve their beloved southland from
black republcanism and all its direful
concOmitants.
Woman suffrage is coming, and at
a pace never before equaled by any
propaganda of reform sprung up~n
the people for settlement at the bal
lot box. Our women are soon to have
the privilege of voting. No one in
this day attempts to deny the ballot
as their right.

The Wales claim has been settled on
the basis of the appropriation of $25, 600
made by the Legislature of 1911, and for
this amount Col. Sidney |. Wales has
given the State a receipt in full for his
entire claim with interest, for services
rendered in collecting the Indian War
Claims. The transaction does not do
credit 10 Florida, which was in position
OF an honest debtor for about SIS, 00O

years the Colonel took nothing" than

The Court House Square.

Last June, at the solicitation oil
many citizens, the Woman's Club ask.
ed the privilege of improving the
court house grounds, and the county
commissioners at that time appro.
priating $500 a month for three
months for the work. The walks were
laid under the supervision of City
Engineer Stallings, and as it has been
said that the Woman's Club was re-
sponSible for the steps in said walks,
we wish here to state that we did all
in our power to prevent said steps be-
ing used, wishing to have another plan
that would have obviated them, even
after the first part of walk had been
laid. The Woman's Club raised, with
picture shows, $4,000 toward the pay
ment of the walks around the side of
the building, so that the work could
be finished and the grounds put in
shape for the winter.
In November the county commits
sioners appropriated another $4,000
toward the work, but it has not been
sufficient, and as they seem reluctant
to support it further, we would like
to ask the support of the citizens in
the matter. At present the grounds
are in fairly good shape and show up
an attractive green square to strang-
ers coming into the city. Is this con.
dition worth continuing?
Below is an account of funds appro-
priated by county and the disburse-
ments:

"a license TO practice law is not a

that? Did any one ever hear such a
revolutionary doctrine promulgated
from the bench? The language is that

court at Chicago in the trial of a banker
who had refused to disclose the where
abouts OF $50, 600 of the defunct banks
