IS HOD CARRYING MORE RE-
MUNERATIvE THAN TEACHING

Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, made
an address thee Their day to New
York city school teachers who are
planning to form union. 1t was an
interesting utterance, couched in the
orators best ad well konwn style,
and in it he managed to enunciate
some truths that were not particu-
larly gratifying to thedignity of the
great profession to whose represen-
tatives he was speaking Some of the
teachers had expressed a desire to
make their union purely local. and
did not favor any connection at all
with the Federation of Labor. GO
ahead as you please" said Mr.. Com
pers, "if we are not good enough for
you. You think that you are pro-
fessional people, but | tell you that
the hod-carrier you see in the streets
is getting more money than you. You
are the poorest paid and least consid-
cred public servants in the country"
Now, while Mr. Gompers undoubted
ly had another guess coming with
regard to the remuneration of the
particular body he was addressing,
as New York teachers are said To
be better paid than any others in
the Union there is no question what
ever as to the truth of his statements
so far as the teaching profession gen.
orally is concerned Unfortunately,
the average teacher shares with the
preacher the distinction of being the
poorest paid and least considered
public servant" This is the more
remarkable when we consider how

Sadler was arrested under suspic

the plea he was to visit his mother
in Tuscaloosa, as she was very ILL.,
The detectives astertained the fact
he did not visit the mother, who was
not ill., He had also borrowed a
needle and thread from the Central
of Georgia depot in Columbus and
this threw added suspicion on him,
as the sack had been ripped open
with knife and then reserved.

Human Skeleton
Found on Beach
At St. Augustine

st. Augustine, March 30.-A party
of young men while strolling alone
orth beach Sunday in the vicinity of
the point discovered human skele-
ton partly buried in the sand.
The somewhat gruesome discovery
naturally caused some excitement at
the time and has aroused no end of
speculation as to the identity of the
skeleton. Some are of the opinion
that it is the bones of bather who
at some time may have drowned in
this vicinity and the body washed
ashore, while others maintain that it
is that of an Indian buried there
many years ago when Indian pris-
oners were in camp on the beach
However, while all sorts of theo-
ries are being aired, it is doubtful if
the mystery will ever be solved, as
there is positively no evidences
about the skeleton to give a clue.

out that since joining the column,
the aeroplanes generally had been

with him details of the mishap ex-
perienced by Lieutenant Robert II.

for several days.
Lieutenant Willis misjudgcl his

Declares Florida One OF
The Assets OF The Nation

Richard H. Edmonds, editor and
general manager of the Manufac-
turers Record, the well-known
Southern development publication,
believes that Florida is the nations
greatest asset. So he told the Tampa
Tribune i'll an interview while stop
ping at Tampa few days ago.
This interview is one of the most
interesting Impressions ever related
20 a newspaper man, regarding this
State, and his quotations are printed
in the following:
Florida is one of the nations
greatest assets.
Taking all things into consider
alton ! do not believe that there is
any other State in the Union of such
potential value to the country as
Florida.
THE resources of other sections in
coal or iron or timber or water pow
ers are duplicated elsewhere in the
country. There is no other State so
unique in its advantages that there
could not be found at least to a large
extent, a counterpart in some other
State. But as to Florida, this is not
true. This States potentalities in
every respect entirely unlike those
of any other State in the Union,
make If of supreme Importance to
the nation from any points of view.
Considered from that of climate
alone it is of vast national import
ance, for year after year the num-
Der of people who will seek in the
balmy climate of Florida rest, rec
reation and health from the biting,
blasting billiards. of the North and
West, will steadily increase.
Population on Increase
THE lives of many thousands of
people of great Importance to the ma
tons business interests will be
heightened or saved by visits to
Florida. Ultimately the population
of this State, drawn largely by eli
mate, will run into the millions
1T is trite saying that Florida
will become the great winter play
ground of the nation. But Florida
will be far more than that. 1t will be
to the tried business man needing
rest, a winter haven where he can
regain strength and vitality for the
great burdens that every business
man must carry. 1t will at the same
time be for the man of moderate
means, likewise a haven of rest, for
as Florida becomes more and more
developed, it will provide to larger
extent than is now conceivable, op-
means as we'll as for the poor man
and the rich.
"In this State will be built up
one of the greatest civilizations of
the age, for here will co-minele ac-
tive, virile men from all sections and
all classes, united in the upbuilding
OF what is practically new or vir-
gin territory, but having the di-
versity of thought and education and
ambition which is essential to the
highest development of country.
"All that has been done in the de-
velopment of Florida is merely the
pioneering work of making ready
the way for the hundreds of thous-
ands who in the near future will
seek this State as a permanent or
winter home The movement is al
ready under way, but is only in its
infancy.

Pacific Coast Inferior

1T is true that on the Pacific
coast sCme of the fruits can be pro-
duced. but the advantages of the Pa
cifc coas. in this respect are far in
ferior to those of Florida. More
over, Florida is within twenty-four
to thirty-six hours ride, very
large proportion of the population of
the nation. That alone tremendous
ly adds to its strategic value as the
health and pleasure resort of the
land, as well as the center of produc-
tion for an almost infinite variey of
foodstuffs need by the nation.
From much of New England and
of the Central West it is possible to
reach Florida by one nights travel
and the journey has no disadvant-
ages or discomforts. On the other
hand, a trip to California means at
the best four or five days journey,
much of it through desert of in
tolerable discomfort to travellers, or
through icebound, uncovered re-
gions of the Northern routes.
THE advantages are altogether in
favor of Florida.
In the early days the romance of
California's development and the
marvellous advertising of the rail-
roads turned the trend of population
that to some of the railroads that
were flooding the land with this
sort of literature to stop it and
pointed out the tremendous injury
they were doing the State.
Early impressions are very last
ing, and SO the early Impressions of
Florida given to thenation by the I'M
wise advertising has left it's lasting
influence for evil which is only
, now being removed by the broader
| knowledge that the nation is gaining
| as to Florida and by the more intel
ligent advertising that therailroads
of this State are doing.
There is still room, however, fol
advertising Florida to far greater
extent than has ever been done. The
work of advertising this State
through the campaign recently in
augurated by the president of the
Tampa Board of Trade, will give tC
the people of this State and to the
railroad officials an illustration OF
the power of intelligent, well-hand-
led advertising through the great
daily papers and magazines of the
north and west in arousing interest
in the charms and advantages of this
heaven favored land. But not until
Florida is advertised as California
has been advertised will the country
fully understand this state of in,
