NEW FLORIDA PROJECTS.

The probabilities are that Florida
will get considerable more money for
waterways improvements than origi-
nally expected.
Immediately after the reconvening
Of congress after the holidays re-
cess, the board of army engineers IA
vorably reported on Florida projects
totaling S12OO,OOO. The waterways
bill as drafted by the committee. of
which Hon. Stephen s. Sparkman. of
Tampa, is chairman. provided for APP
preparations only for the maintenance
Of present waterways and contin-
uance Of certain other projects al
ready under way. No provision was
made for new work.
The favorable report Of the army
engineers includes the Ocklawaha riy-
er projects, over which there has been
SC much agitation. and If congress
acts favorably nearly a million dol
lars will be expended I'm improving
this waterway. There is evident both
in the committee and in congress. a
desire on the part Of iIany to limit
expenditures this year to the continu-
ance Of old projects and the mainten-
ance of waterways and harbors al.
ready improved. Others are in favor
of more liberal appropriations, and
Florldians who are interested in see
ing these allowances made win look
forward to the attitude Of congress
as a whole.
The favorable recommendations of
the army engineers on Florida prof.
ects include:
Ocklawaha river, S733,OO0.
Kissimmee river. $4,000.
Caloosahatchee river, $4,000.
Crystal river. $4,000.
Anclote river. $21 900.
Boca Ciega Bay. $1,000.

THOSE ILLEGAL RESOLUTIONS.

The resolutions recently passed by
the state Democratic Executive Com
mittee seem to be about the Invest
subject today in Florida politics.
Many of the papers of the state ex-
press themselves as believing that this
action Of the committee has sounded
the death knell of the democratic par
ty Of the state, and that there will
he no primary i'm June. 1t seems that
this Is attaching undue importance to
tho executive committee, especially
since the action of this committee Is
hlgh-handed, arbitrary and contrary
to the laws Of the state Of Florida
and OF the United States. The demo
cratic party of the state Of Florida
should not be permitted to suffer
simply because thirty-six men have
attached too much importance TO
themselves. We do not believe IN sub
hitting TO arbitrary power, whether
attempted by Tom Reed or the State
Executive Committee, and the ques-
tion now arises, shall the democrats
of Florida suffer themselves to be
controlled by such action upon the
part Of their representatives to the
destruction of the partyi We say No,
and sincesrequests have been made by
many for suggestions as to what
course should be pursued, we suggest
first that the press of the state, n
large majority OF which Is opposed to
this action Of the committee, and the
people through the press, call upon
the committee to meet at once and
roscind these resolutions. II the COM
mittee hear the people well and
good. but II the committee refuses to
repeal their illegal act, then let their
action he wholly ignored by the dem
ocrats of the state. Should the CON-
nittee attempt by mandamrs to en-
force this high-handed procedure. We
have no fears as TO what the courts
Of the state would do in the matter.
II, however the above seems TO be

How is this for general farming on
Florida lands?
W. ID. Griffin, a Washington coun-
ty farmer, gives his experience TO the
Chipley Heard in handling crops on
his three-acre tract:
81 gathered from this plot the lat
ter part OF May three tons OF oats.
then flushed the land and leveled It
with a weeder. After the first good
season in June I run It Off to 30-lnch
rows. planting it to hay peanuts, COW
ering It with a double stock about
12 inches, When well up and grow
ing, I sided them with n small worn
sweep. bringing to level This end

about the first OF September ! cut
from this plot two tons Of fine hay.
then gathered the peanuts on one
acre. throwing them into winrows Of
five each, day or two later hauling
them to the barn to he picked on lat
ter. From this acre ] got thirty-ive
bushels; the balance were left for the
hogs. The peanut crop had one sack
Of fertilizer only.

acre plot sums up as follows; Oats,

UNITY OF RACE.

1t Is either remarkable coinci-
dence or stroke of wonderfully good
statesmhnship that the success Of the
British army depends to large de-
gree on the ability Of four men repre-
senting the four units of which Great
Britain is composed. These men on
whom England is depending are, Sir
William Robert Robertson. an Eng
lishman who was appointed chief of
the imperial general stan on Decem-
her 21st; 4 Scotsman, Sir Douglas
Haig. who succeeded Sir John French
in the command Of the army in
France; an nishman. Lord Kitchener
who is secretary Of state for war; and
a Welshman. David Lloyd George
who is minister of munitions. This
shows Il unity Of race at least in the
British Empire. If the unity Of class
were as well fixed the British would

NO TIME FOR INTERVENTION.

We are in fullest SYM athy with
all that is said and in the spirit IN
which 1t is said by our Correspond
ent' on the Mexican question found in
another column of this paper. We
feel very indignant, as he does We,
too. feel that somebody ought to he
punished, but we Ion know who IL
should be. Not the Mexlcuns ms ma
ton, surely, for the Lord Knows they
have suffered enough already. Not
Carranza and his followers. for they
are our friends The only thing we
could do would be to send troops

ly CarranZa's. We are now giving

tions. No, the only thing we should
dc is TO assist all United States citi-
zcns to escape from this lawless re-
gion until Carranza, with the assist
ance Of other peace loving nations. is
able to restore law and order. Such
OF our citizens as will go to Mexico
under present conditions, should do
so at their own responsibility. the
hard heads that they are. We should
be willing to assist any Americans
who are now there to escape at what
ever the cost, We owe Onthing more
tLan this, and we should do nothing
less. This Is as far as our duty goes,
especially if It be put upon the basis
that our correspondent seems to do.
that we should have an army inter
vene because of the loss of American
lives. Pursuing our present policy,
America will probably lose but few
citizens in all, and these probably are
persons who have defled all warnings
by our government. But were we to
adopt the policy OF armed interven
tion. thousands of precious lives of
our boys. must pay the forfeit and
in the end he at war with the whole
state of Mexico in all probability. for
II is a known fact that with United
States troops in Mexico shooting
down Mexican citizens, the effect
would soon he to unite these factions
against the foreign enemy just as the
wife will take the part of the husband
who mistreats her, when there is out
side interference.
There can be no just argument for
United States Interference simply he
cause of the loss Of few American
Lives at the hands Of outlaws, espe-
clally when the de facto government
is doing all it can to punish the Of
tenders.
Matters will rapidly adjust them
selves IL we continue the present safe
and sane policy Of the administra-
ton. We all regret the loss Of Amer
lean lives. but there is no reason for
American intervention until It isl
clearly demonstrated that the Carrhn-
"a government is wholly Inadequate,
What happened in Mexico is likely to
happen even in the best governed
state Of the Union. The only thing to
dc under such circumstances is for the
government to do its hest to appre-
bend the guilty. No more can be ask
ed. We want no entanglements in
Mexico II it can possibly he avoided.
Whenever IT becomes necessary for
the United States to enter war as
matter of principle. there will be no
lack of voluntarys for service. but let
us not become too excited simply be-
cause of the acts of few outlaws.

Reports continue remarkably uni

Rising bank deposits are also slgnif-
