Ginger and Patriotism.
'If I ever hear any other city talk
about having ginger and patriotism. I'm
going to tell it about Baltimore. You've
got more ginger and patriotism here
than any bunch OF people I've seen in

occupied a reservation away over on the
east side of the platform.
Replies to Infidels.
The sermon. which was a defense of
Christian tenets. was directed particu-
larly to answer the arguments of inf
dels. First. Sunday took that pertain
ing to hypocrites. 1t was no more rea-
sonable TO discountenance religion be-
cause there were hypocrites in the

Eighteen thousand people attended the
two services. the congregation in the
evening consisting of 1900 men and

USE OF HOM|NG PIGEONS

for Mexican Cam

That the United States Army could

vantageously during the present chase
prominent pigeon fanciers of this city.
Maj. Gen. Scott. chief of staff. however,
maintains that the use of pigeons has
been found impracticable in communi-
eating with Gen. Pershings command
for the reason that there are no es-
tablished pigeon bases near the bor-
der to which the birds would go when
released.
William Dismer, secretary of the
American Racing Pigeon Union, in
discussing the matter. said frequent
news could have been received from
the soldiers at the front had pigeons
been used to transmit c1pher MESSAGES,
There are many racing pigeon fanciers
in Texas, especially at San Antonio,
Mr.. Dismer said. who stand ready to
allow the government to use their
birds for such purposes. These pirds
could have been taken with the ad-
vance army, he pointed out. and upon
their return to their lofts on the bor-
der or nearby towns the message could
then be sent still farther on by ether
birds. Messages. if desired ne polntea

Not Using Pigeons.
II was learned at the War Depart
ment today that pigeons are not being
used by the United States Army in the
chase after Villa. They had been used,
however. before the discovery of wire
less telegraphy. ....--
That the practical use of pigeons for
such purposes when the radio cannot
be set up handily is demonstrated, &C
cording to Mr. Dismer. by information
received by him and other prominent
f,nciers here from England. Mr.. Dis
,oer said the value of the birds for
such purposes in England during the
war is such that strict count is kept

Little Further Progress.

In 1905 Napoleon Bonaparte Broward
was elected Governor of Florida on a
platform pledgng the drainage of the
Everglades. BY that time the greater
part OF the other swamp lands of Florida
had been granted 10 private corporations.
Broward arranged for the sale OF mil
lions of acres of Everglade lands to col
onizat ton companies to provide funds for
the reclamation work. his idea was 10
drain by units. letting tllable land fol-
low the dredges. The land companies put
on extensive selling coinpaigns to dispose
of their holdings. More than $4,000 in
dividuals bought farms in the Ever
glades with the assurance that the drain
age would make these habitab BILE. The
soil is admitted TO be of wonderful fer
tlity and TO be adapted to many crops.
Broward died. The administra tions that
have followed have handled the Ever
glade problem on different basis. and
little further progress has been made in
the drainage. Colonization men who have
been prosecuted for selling the land set
up as defense the pledges Of the state,
and but few of them have been con-
victed. Meanwhile the innocent in
vestors have suffered. and to them the
prospect of relief will be most welcome.

Knott in Race for Governor.

The Trammell administration is rep
resented in the race for Governor Of
Florida by VIII V. Knott, who has
been state treasurer and a member of
the internal improvement board, which
has charge of drainage matters. Knott
is opposed by three other candidates,
one of whom, State Senator Farris. is
making his fight on the Everglades
reclamation issue Gov. Trammell and
Florida's attorney general passed
through Washington last night en-
route from New York, where they have
been engaged in efforts for the sale of
a bond issue designed to further the
drainage of the Everglades, but whcih
their political opponents say has been
based on insufficient security.
The Florida Everglades were for many
years land of mystery and romance.
Surrounded by almost impenetrable jun
giles. they were under water for Il large
part of the year Indians inhabited the
elevated portions and explorers told won-
drous tales of the fertility of the soil
of these knollS. In the carly fifties the
federal government decided these over
flowed lands TO Florida. which agreed to
apply the proceeds from their sale to
their reclamation. Half Il century passed.
however. before the work was actually
undertaken.
