HYacinths Block Greek

Jacksonville.-That large number
of hyacinths have blocked Julington
creek, above Mandarin, so that it is
impracticable for the shippers of that
section to send their products out, is
the complaint lodged with Major w.
B. Ladue, corps of engineers, U. S. A..
Major LaDue reported that he is
having the matter investigated, and
that if there is a sufficient amount

REMARKABLE
POLITICAL DEVELOPMENT.

When some few days ago the lower
house of congress of the United
States by a majority of eight of the
members present voted in favor of
the submission to the states of Il
constitutional amendment providing
for nationwide prohibition of alco-
holic liquors for beverage purposes,
an important milestone in the history
of liquor legislation was passed.
Ten years ago the shrewdest fore
caster of political events would never
have suggested such an epochal phe-
nomenOn. Not within the past year
have careful observers even dared to
prophesy such result.
The stupid and the fatuOus may
still fail to grasp the full significance
of this social revolution.
Just how congress in due course
will escape the necessary twO-thirds
majority for the formal submission
of the proposed constitutional amend
ment to the several state legislatures
is the problem that from now on will
exercise the nimble wits of the $50
cial NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
1t is immaterial on which side ones
personal inClinatiOns lie. We are ac-
tually in the presence, not of prohi-
bitiOn hopes and liquor interest fears.
but of an actual development.
More than half of the congressman
felt that they must risk much. some
that they must risk all, and vote for
national prohibition because this is
the unacceptable sentiment in their
home districts, regardless of the
threats and the well-feared power of
the liquor people.
Remarkable beyond all other politi-
cal developments of recent years is
this prohibition movement, touching
our personal lives so much more mi
nutely than mere tariffs or political
theories 1t is small moment wheth-
er one is opposed to the idea, the fact
is present.
State after state has demonstrated
prohibition. That favorable public
sentiment, without which prohibition
is impossible, has materialized in ma
ny of these demonstrating states, par
ticularly in the west and south.
Then the larger efficiency of ma
tiOanl prohibition as against sectional
prohibition impresses the social think
err, once he has habituated himself |
to the idea of the passage and en-
fOrcement of such law.
Two of the four florida Congress
men voted for Observation-Disclosures.
Sparkman and Clark. L'Engle and |
Wilson were absent because of ill., |
ness. And they were really i'll. Had
they been present they would very
likely have voted for submission. |
Mr.. L'Engle, as we have since learn
ed, was for the amendment, and was |
paired with member who was op-
posed to it. The white sentiment of |
Florida is strongly for prohibition.
The white vote is democratic and it
is this vote that our congressman de-
sire to please.
Prohibition is coming. 1t is COM
ing faster than its most strenuous
advocates dared hope. Let no one
idly suppose that such a develop
ment as this congressional vote is not |
great with significance. The liquor
dealer may read it as he runs, not
less clearly than the prohibitionist.

FLORIDA'S
FINANCES.

The Christmas edition of the Tam
pa Tribune contained an excellent
and timely article on The financial
Condition of Florida" by State
Treasurer Luning. That it shows a
most gratifying condition can be judg-
ed from the following extracts:
"The people of Florida have ample
reason to congratulate themselves up
on the splendid condition of the States
finances. There are many States in
the Union whose treasury handles a
much larger volume of business than
does Florida, but | am confident in the
assertion that the finances of no State
in the Union are in a more satisfactO-
ry condition than that of Florida.
in the first place, Florida has no
bonded Indebtedness of any great
amount, the entire bonded indebted
ness of the State being only S6O1,-
SGT, all of which is held by the edu-
cational branch of the State govern
ment; one might say, one branch of
the State government owing the 9TH
er.
"On the first of November, 1914,
the cash balance in the State treas
ury, as shown by the books of this
department, was s1.503. 1880. OF
this amount S5S1,501.O7 was con.
tanned in the pension fund. S243,695..
10 in the general revenue fund. S75..
953.l2 in the State prison fund, S62..
1858 in the State board of health
fund. $547.724.27 in the several edu.
catiOnal funds, and the remaining
S42,220.52 distributed among the
drainage tax fund, railroad commits
sion fund. shell fish industry fund,
game and fish protection fund, and
the Florida natiOua forest fund, and
the Florida national forest fund
S306,O54.S3 of S547,724.27 of the gen
eral educational funds on hand is
principal for investment and is being
invested in bonds in the counties, CT
ties and sub-schOol districts in this
State as rapidly as safe investments
of this character can be secured, about
$4,000 of this 100000 having been
invested since the first of November.

The man who reads the war news
carefully day by day-and who does
not?-finds himself confused BY the
official statements sent out BY the
different governments statements
which are so contradictory that the
only means of ascertaining what has
happened Is to trace the positions on
a war map The Psalmist remarked,
81 said Any haste, all men are
liars" if he had confined his remark
to the official reporters of the differ
ent governments he would have had
nothing to retract. One wonders
why those governments do not tell
the exact truth. There is nothing to
be gained by one great nation declar-
ing that it has smashed its enemy,
or another announcing that il has
gained the greatest victory in history,
when the statement is not true. These
reports. false or true, have no effect
on the progress of the campaign. The
truth is bound to come out in time.
Nothing counts in war but action, and
no amount of misrepresentation will
gain the Slightest advantage to one
side or the other.

RED CROSS FLAG
 OVER sUNElEN SHIP

London, Nov. 1S-The sinking of the Anglia, with the loss of S5, although the first case in the war of a hospital ship meeting disaster while carrying wounded, has caused great anxiety in the public mind, as it had been supposed that the Eng fish Channel was entirely free of danger from mines.
 The newspapers indulged jD much speculation, some of them offering the explanation that they must have been German mines. The Anglia had 200 cot cases aboard, when the .rescuing vessels reached her. and she was badly down by the head and her propeIIers were racing.
 Her stern was so high above the sea that one of the rescuing vessels was able to pass under her and 40 men dropped aboard,
 The crew of the collier Lusi- tauia. which was also destroyed, give vivid narratives of the disaster, according to which, after a terrific explosion, the bows of the Anglia seemed to melt away until the sea IaYped her rails. She surged for ward, however, in a vain attempt to reach shore.
 Soon many boats came to the rescue, including those sent by the Lusitauia. Those watching the scene SAW the soldiers coming up from below, assembling on deck and calmly waiting the order to pass in to the boats.
 Every moment the stern of the doomed vessel rose higher and the hull veered sideways as though about to turn turtle but still the crew worked on.
 Some of the wounded, unable to keep taeir footing on the sloping deck, fell into the sea and were picked up by he rescuers. Others jumped overheard. All the while the nurses worked with splendid devotion with the crew to transfer their patients to the boats.
 The end came with dramatic sud- deuness. With wounded soldiers and doctors, nursess and sailors still clingiug to the stern, the yes seI appeared for a moment to stand on her bows, then suddenly went under, but left the Red Cross flag flying at her mast six feet above the water, marking the fatal spot.

It has ceased to be money, and when the Vnlistas use it to buy their supplies 1t is their rifles and nothing else that makes the stuff acceptable. But the re- coguittou of the Carranza govern ment has been followed with an embargo upon rifles consigned co Villa and upon everything that is
 used to make Q rifle effective. No
 doubt the Villa government will hold out as a migratory affair for a considerable time and very likely the fragments will persist as bands

WHAT'S THE ANSWER?

Just where skagway's municipal authority begins or ends, and just where the Federal authority begins and euds, is a question that is yeH- ing the minds of number of tax payers p skagway today.
 Tuesday night man fired off 9 gun o- pistol several times in front Of the Pack Train restaurant on Broadway, between Third and Fourth avenues. The night watch man kaew of it, and started out to find the 9Itendius party. He talked with two men who were present when t5e breech Of the peace was committed, and even while he was talking Iho man fired the gun oyer in the direction of the river, and the next thing heard of the affair was that Acting Deputy '. s. Mar shaI Ueru had arrested the man, and that United States Commission CT Conway had imposed a fine and costs on the prisoner.
 There is an ordinance in the skagway book of ordinances, which makes st an otteuse to discharge a ffrearm within the corporate city limits. Was this man, then, of lending the dignity of the Federal government or the dignity of the Town oI skagway?
 Several eases of a like nature have come up beiore. and We can not see why these fines should not 90 to swell the e1cheQuer of the town of skagway instead of the so- called Alaska Fund"
 Regardless of the merits of the case, SD long as the nan was found gll.-y, lhe potat of information which We are seeking is,-"Who should do the arCestiug and get the benefits of the fine when a man is gutlty Of discharging fire arms ga the streets of Skagway?'

sLIpsHOD ADVERTISING

A group of newspaper men got to talking the other day. about their experiences in dealing with mer- chants sa the matter of advertising. The story was told of one merchant who used to say that it never paid for an individual merchant to ad- vertise. He admitted that it might pay for the entire body of merchant in town to get together and ad- yer.ise so as to attract the atten- ton of the surrounding country. But be never believed he could draw trade from less enterprising men by his own individual adYertis- ing
 A little inquiry about this mans business gave some significant facts In spi.e of his protestations, he did a very considerable amount of advertising. He made it habit to keep a file oG the home newspapers. Every week when he was taking space, he would clip out his adyer- tisement Of the previous year, or some year previous to that, make some slight changes, and send the slightly revised old copy as his
