FLOR|DA'S FIRST

The development of Florida as a

there that the first flowing artesian

well was driven over 40 years ago by
John Marley, and it was through the
p"rsistency of John Manley that Flor

IN the Union for irrigation farming.

Cities Should Be Given
Power Of Self
Government
By JOHN PURROY mitchell,
Mayor Of New York City

THE question most frequently
raised by both the parties
pledged to home rule in the
legislative bodies controlled by
them has been whether the cities
can be trusted even with the mea-
ger measure of home rule that has
been grudgingly bestowed on them.
1t seems to me that it would be a
great deal better not to hamstring
the cities or their officials, BUT
TO GIVE THEM THE WIDER
LATITUDE THAT, IN MY
OPINION, SEEMS ESSENTIAL
TO PROPER MUNICIPAL DE-
VELOPMENT AND THEN TO
SAFEGUARD THESE POWERS
BY ESTABLISHING A RECALL,
THIS ALSO SURROUNDED
WITH SAFEGUARDS AND LIN
ITATIONS.
IF THE CITIES OF THIS couN.
TRY ARE LEFT FREE TO WORK
OUT THEIR OWN pEsTINIEs IN
THEIR OWN WAY, UNTRAMMELEp
BY LEGISLATIVE INTERFERENCE,
THEY. IN MY OPINION, BECOME

gratitude. No Democrat in this city
certainly, or county, for that matter,
has done as much for the Democratic
party as has Col. Carney. No doubt
his services to the party have entailed
some personal sacrifices, for which
the postoffice can hardly compensate.
On any basis, under our present sys-

postmastership, and it would have
been a party disgrace if it had been
denied him. In addition, he will make

he would be by the appointment to

He feels the compliment more keenly
because a large majority of the tes-
iimonials came from men whom he
has opposed politically for many years,
who resented the attack upon his
character by a bunch of irresponsi-
bles masquerading as democrats.

Some Kind words

Col. J. J. Carney has been appoint
Cd as postmaster Of Aberdeen and,
while we do not think the job meas
ures up to the ability of the colonel,
We are pleased. In the first place,
the colonel wanted the Office and
We are always glad to see our friends
get what they want. Then our. neigh
boring city Of Aberdeen is going to
have one Of the most capable Of post
masters and the mail will be handled
with neatness and dispatch.
Our chief pleasure, however, cen.
tiers in the fact that the unfair fight
Waged against Col. Carney failed. In.
terested parties made every effort to
defeat his appointment but the bust
ness men and patrons Of the ONCE
rallied to his support and sent on q
hatch Of testimonials calculated to
swell his breast with pride and to
cause patent medicine man to turn
green with envy. The colonel should
get those letters and have them franz
ed.
No man has been more Of a central
figure in Aberdeen since the early
days. than Col. Carney, and few haze
done more to advance the interest,
spread the fame and stimulate the
growth of that city than he. A man
of boundless energy, quick Of wit and
undoubted integrity, he is of the
sort who helps a city. When the
writer ran newspaper in Aberdeen
the colonel was his business compet,.
tor but our relations were always of
the pleasantest character. We ever
found that when J. ]. Carney said
he would do thing or stand by any
agreement. the incident was robbed
Of all cause for worriment. The thing
was as good as done.

Still Rolling Up.

Secretary Redfield of the federal de
partnient Of commerce estimates thai
our foreign trade for the month Of
December will show a favorable bal
ance of $100.000,00O. That months
record in itself would be a gratifying
achievement; but still more crafty
ing is the steady maintenance of trade
growth that it indicates.
Last August, the month following
the outbreak of war, there was a trade
balance against us Of SIS, 100000. In
September the tide had turned and we
sold other nations $16,341,00O more
than we bought from them. In Octo
Der the favorable balance rose to $50,
100000; in November, to 79,411 900;
and now comes December with Its
$10O, 100000.
There is no apparent reason why the
upward trend should not continue. II
our contraband difficulties with Great
Britain can be Strengthened out, oul
exports to Europe will Immediately
swell to an unexampled volume, made
all the more impressive and profitable
by the continued restriction of our i'm
ports.
The greatest excess of exports ovel
imports that we have ever had in one
year was $3.50, 431 900 for 1908. If the
December estimate Is correct, and II
it is maintained without any increase
for twelve months, there will be q
favorable balance Of $1,200,000, 900
more than twice enough to guarantee
the payment Of all our usual foreign
obligations without loss Of our owr
gold and enough to secure US against
any financial disturbance that might
otherwise he caused by Europe dump
ing its American securities into oul
market.

alone and allow it as a result to auto

hard 10 determine, as there are at
least half dozen factions in each
