However, we are somewhat in the
position Of that other editor of whom

ices, and the minister asked all who
had paid their debts to stand. The
entire congregation rose with the
exception of the editor. Nov those

demanded the minister. "Well, you

1t is now Governor Cats, and the
Evening Telegram will await with
interest the fullllment of the prom
tses of the gentleman and of the
claims Of his admirers. We trust
that he will make good in every re-
spect, and in every proper move
ment he will have the support and
cooperation of this paper. To the
average citizen, it makes little diff
ference who is Governor of the State,
and to us personally it makes less
difference than to most people. We
have enjoyed the cordial friendship
OF three of Floridas Governors, but
we never presumed on that friend
ship to ask the slightest favor of
either of then. We certainly,
therefore, have no favors to ask OF
Mr.. Cats, nor do we stand in the
slightest apprehension of him. We
will give him fair deal as long as
NO gives the people Of the State a
fair deal, and will not withhold
praise should he deserve 1t. We are
hopeful that mis- administration will
give no cause for adverse criticism
but should proper occasion arise the
criticism will promptly follow.

Governor 7rdnl71eH Reviews His
Work While Governor of Florida

To the drainage work, our Board, Ii
the early part of 1918, employed a
commission of three engineers, repu-
ted TO be the most eminent authori-
ties on drainage in America, who were
TO investigate the feasibility OF re-
claiming the Everglades lands, study
the project and suggest plans for
future operations. This commission
was headed by Mr.. Isham Randolph,
who was at one time consulting engi-
neer on the Panama Canal work. and
had beer in charge of some OF the
most extensive drainage operations in
the United States. This commission,
assisted by a corps of some fifty or
sixty persons. many of whom were ex-
perts in their respective fields, after
thorough investigation for some six
months or more, reported favorably
upon the feasibility of the Everglades
drainage, and commended the project
as being one which was capable OF
being accomplished at the least cost
per acre for reclamation of any SINH
lar nature throughout the country.
"This is by far the largest reclaim
alton project in the United States. 1t
is of such enormous magnitude, con-
sisting as ii does of district COM
prising more than four million acres
of land. that its accomplishment nee
essarily requires considerable time
and the expenditure of large sum of
money.
at is gratifying to observe, how
ever, that the work has already pro-
crossed sufficiently to accomplish
wholly, or in part, the reclamation of
a large acreage within the district. 1t
is also very gratifying to observe from
the farming which is being carried
on upon the lands which have been
reclaimed that the fertility and pro.
ductiveness of the lands within this
territory cannot be excelled anywhere
within the United States.
81 am proud that this administra
ton has been able to save for all Of
the people, against the greed of the
few, the States one and one-half mil
lion acres Of land, which represents 9
