was appointed to take the matter
under advisement and report to the
full Board in June. 1914. This com.
mittee made a favorable report and
the Board appropriated a small, sum
with which to equipe a laboratory
to make the inoculating cultures,
and also fixed the price at So an
acre as against the regular price of
$500 an acre charged by the lead
ing commercial companies.
On August Is. we began distribut-
ing the cultures and by November
Is we had distributed about 1000
acre bottles for clovers, vetches, al
falfa, and so on, thus affecting a
direct cash saving to the farmers of
the State $11.S5O.00 within three
months.
From the best information we
can obtain the use of these pure
cultures will add at least an ezra
$1,000 to the hay and fertility va
lue of every acre inocufated. Adj
ding these sums together, we find
this joint action of the Legislature
and the State Board OF Agriculture
added in one season alone, over
100000 to the agriculture wealth
of the State.
1t may be urged that much of
this inoculating material would
have been purchased from the com
mercial companies and used, and
the farmers would have received
the benefit. even though the Legis-
lature and the Board of Agriculture
had taken no action. This is doubt
less true, but it is equally true that
by cutting the price from $500 an
acre to the actual cost of production
hundreds of farmers have avaiied
themselves Of the opportunity of
getting a genuine article at reason
able figure who would not have
thought of using the commercial
product at the prevailing price.
We are conceding too much if
we admit that half the above
amount would have been added to
the agricultural wealth of the State
regardless of the joint action of the
Legislature and the Board of Agri-
culture, but even taking this ..aw
of the matter, what Legislator or
member of the Board of Agriculture
would not be proud to know that
over $4,000 90 had been added 10
the agricultural wealth of the State
as direct result of his efforts to
render the best services to his copsti
tuents?

The Lakeland evening telegram., 1914-05-26

Frequently comment is made on
the lack of interest in political mat
ters by the people of this State, and
there is tendency to criticise un-
favorably this apathetic attitude on
their part towards the selection of
men for public position and towards
public questions generally. While
this Indifferent spirit is to a certain
extent undesirable. there is another
phase of the situation which casts
upon it a relieving light. People in
Florida do not devote much time and
energy to politics for the reason that
they are more profitably employed,
and the remunerative and fascinat-
ing work of attending to their own
affairs, and incidentally of develop
ing the States virgin resources, does
not leave them much leisure for the
political game. And perhaps, all
things considered, it is just as we'll.
For some of the older States there is
so much politics that there is very
little time for anything else, and the
effects of continuous political agita-
tion is far from beneficial to business
and industrial interests. The man
who Is so busy marketing strawber-
ries and oranges, or making one
bunch of celery grow where none
grew before, that he neglects to
vote, is doing a greater service to
his State, to say nothing of himself
and his family, than the country
saver' who spends his time spelling
politics at the general store and
votes twice if given the opportun-
ity.

the time | favored the idea, desiring
the fullest expose of the corruption,
if any existed. But the more | think
about it, the more convinced | am
that each succeeding senate ought
not to have the power to exercise
the right to reopen cases that have
already been tried by their predeces-
sors. There ought to be some time
when a case will be settled once for
all. ! have changed my mind and
come to believe that the constitution
ought to be interpreted to mean that
the Senate to which man is elected
shall be the Judge of the elections,
returns, and qualifications of its own
membe otherwise a mans S title
to his seat here will always be in
jeopardy, and if it is worth while
senators may be driven by public
clamor and newspapers to persecute
rather than prosecute senator. The
changing currents in our political
life are sometimes so rapid and vio-
lent that there is danger in giving
way to them, and | say this believ-
ing religiously in the right of the
people to govern themselves, and
having faith that ultimately they
will right all wrongs of which we
now complain.
That there is corruption at
Springfield, I have no doubt what
ever. That there is corruption at
Chicago, | have no doubt whatever.
No large city has ever escaped the
booders' that naturally spring up
where millions of men are assembled
together and the strong are led to
prey upon the weak; and in any
State where there is a large city un-
der our scheme of government there
may be expected corrupt politics.

BEN TILLMAN ON
THE L0RIMER CASE

Everybody knows what kind of a
Democrat Ben Tillman is; neither
his Democracy nor his manhood has
ever been questioned Mr.. Tillman
was familiar with the Lorimer case.
He spoke, believing as he said that
he most go hence and "meet the
Great Judge face to face very soon.
His conclusions, expressed at this
solemn time, are in line with those
of Senator Fletcher, who was init
mately Informed as to every item of
the evidence in the Lorimer case.
Yet Mr.. Fletcher's vote in this case
is being held up as a heinous crime
by men who have never read the evil
dence and know absolutely nothing
about the circumstances.
Read the record and Senator Till
mans remarks in casting his vote:
The Senate having under consider
alton Senate resolution No. 315, de-
claring that corrupt practices were
employed in the election of William
Lorimer as a senator from Illinois,
and that his election was invalid
Mr.. Tillman said.
Mr.. President: I desire TO explain
the reasons which will control my
action on this vote. | was unwilling
to expel Mr.. Lorimer from the Sen
ate when this matter came up the
first time, because there was no di-
rect evidence showing that he knew
of bribery or had advised or con-
nived at it. Our laws recognize the
righteousness of giving the man ac-
cused the benefit of the doubt, if
there be any doubt, and I did not
think it right to send Mr. Lorimer
from the Senate disgraced when
there was strong doubt as to his
guilt. l myself have been the object
of so much newspaper persecution
and false accusation ] did not like
to expel him when I found that the
Chicago Tribune was the principal
prosecutor in the case. ! find moth
ing in the so-called "newly-discov-
cred evidence" to justify a change
in nv attitude, and I shall give him
the benefit of the doubt and vote
against the resolution.

open the Lorimer case upon the Piles

South Carolina, because the newspa-
pers there have a fellow feeling for
the great Chicago dailies, and have
howled about Lorimer's corruption
until they believe him to be cor
rupt, and the people knowing moth
ing about the record and the evil
dence in the case have imbibed the
same idea.
Two men are now canyassing the
State for my seat and the primary
comes off on the 9th of August;
but if | knew my vote would cause
: my defeat, | would still cast it in
his favor. Since | was stricken with
paralysis, 80 months ago, 1 have
thought often and seriously about
death and the hereafter. That | am
here at all is in some respects a mir
acle, and | know I must go hence and
meet the Great Judge face to face
vehy soon. Knowing that, | can not
do otherwise than vote as my con-
science dictates, and | believe this
man is innocent of the charges
brought against him.
If he be driven from the Senate,
as seems probable nov, I hope he
will conseerate his life and great tai
ents-for we all recognize what
phenomenal orator he is-to the
purification of politics of his fellow
citizens in Illinois to the realization
of their duty and their danger. But
whether he is expelled or not, he
ought to do this, and | believe if he
does bravely fight for purer and
better government in Illinois, God
will strengthen his arm and he will
return to the seat vindicated by the
people of that great State. I know,
for | have been all over it, that there
are many millions of native Ameri-
can stock there, men as high and pa
triotic as those in any other State,
