flows, so long as a hand draws the

The writer earnestly disputes the
contention that international law has
been smashed to bits in this
war. He maintains rather that it is,
slangily expressed. bent but not
broken. There has not been as
large a proportion of offenses against
it. he says. as against criminal law
the world over.
After presenting many reasons why
the submarine might be considered
unamenable to existing law because
it is new. he declares that this view
after all is untenable and insists that
the U-boat will have to continue to
operate under present statutes until
new ones are created after the war.
He complains on the one hand
that international law as it now
stands is full of holes" and too
elastic but finds in these very facts
justification for many of the acts OF
submarines In support of his con-
tention he quotes many phrases which
he terms vague, and which, he says,
are construed in one way by Ameri
ca, in another by England and still a
third by Germany. In this connec
ton he takes a tilt at American juris
prudence.
About the middle of his brochure
he seems to despair of convincing
America that he is right and Ameri
cans wrong. for he says:

CATTLE CONFERENCE TO BE
HELD IN TAMPA IN FEBRUARY

On Monday and Tuesday, Feb. Z
and s, there will be held in the city
of Tampa a cattle conference. At
this important meeting there will
be present men from many sections
of the United States and several for
eign countries, who are interested in
the growing of live stock.
As the commissioner of agricul-
ture of Florida, have given special
attention for two years to farming
and stock raising. This campaign
started with one hundred letters ad-
dressed to the various stock (cattle)
exchanges, individuals and COM
panies, and to stock journals, in
which letter was set forth the advan-
tages of Florida as an agricultural
and stock raising State. l made the
statement that Florida could easily
be made to support ten million head
of cattle on her ranges, and that the
cattle should be finished for slaugh-
ter at home. That it was crime to
send the cattle from the State to be
finished for the market. also stated
that live stock of all kinds could be
raised as cheap in Florida as in any
country in the world. and | am sure
the claim is not overdrawn.
To impress upon the people Of
Florida the Importance both of this
question and the convention as WELL
the following statement of the work
of the State department Of agricul-
ture is offered.
During the month of December,
alone, there were 1850 packages of
matter mailed out of the agricultural
and immigration division of this de-
partment Of the above 1,045 pack
ages related to live stock production
and kindred subjects, sos of these
packages covered general questions
of agriculture and horticulture.
These packages contained 1880
pieces of mail matter covering lit
tie more than 10000 subjects.
OF the 1850 packages above re-
ferred to, 1862 packages aggregating
1888 pieces relating to live stock
possibilities in Florida were mailed
direct to persons who will be pres
ent at the Tampa convention. These
people alone represent "a States OF
the Union and one South American
, country
/ believe this will be the greatest
convention ever held in this State
When these hundreds of people see
what Florida has to offer the farm
er and stock raiser it will not be
long when many millions of dollars
will be invested in these industries
No county in Florida can afford
not to be well represented at the
Tampa convention.

Commissioner of Agriculture.

Stories of disaster by flood and
frost in Southern California continue
to reach us and undoubtedly that
part of the country is in bad way.
But they are a great people, those
Californians, and their resources of
faith and energy are inexhaustible.
They will repair the damage and
continue to boost as usual; and as
the average American is pre-dis-
posed to swallow all the good stories
he hears about that land of gold and
romance and sees California through
a glittering haze of thrilling history
and legends, people will continue to
go there with exaggerated ideas Of
the opportunities awaiting them.
But from all we can hear Southern
California is badly overdone and a
large proportion of the people there
would be glad to get out If they
could sell their property for reas-
enable price Meanwhile none of
these disadvantages trouble us here
in South Florida and our develop
ment has only made. good start :.
Land prices are steadily enhancing;
new people are coming every day;
few if any want to sell out and get
away; constructive enterprises are
in progress in every county, and ex-
cept among the weaklings easily dis
couraged anz the people of short
vision, there is everywhere hope and
confidence. The future of South
Florida never looked so bright a.
right now.

who were candidates for the place.
