Sweet Potato Warehouses

that the dealers in this city are hand
ling the cured sweet potatoes from
these warehouses in other states.
The season for planting sweet po-
tatoes is approaching and concerted
effort should be made to establish
one of these curing warehouses in
every locality, so that the crops OF
the growers can be placed therein as
soon as harvested in the summer and
fall and then we will be able to sup
ply the market during the entire year
and thus stabilize crop which has
been perishable and of which thou
sands of bushels have been allowed to
rot and be wasted in the past.
Under the government plan the
sweet potatoes can be dug at matur-
ity and placed in the warehouse when
ready and they are treated by the
process Of heating them which re-
moves the surplus water and heals
any abrasions received in digging
and cures them in such a manner
that they will keep indefinitely and
can be marketed at will and at times
when they will bring the highest
prices. 1t is understood that these
warehouses can be erected and equip
ped at a cost of from $4,000 to $780,
900, according to capacity and the
arrangement is such that the curing
process is carried on in sections as
the potatoes are deposited in the stor-
age bins.
Community warehouses could be
erected and equipped, just as the cit
rus fruit packing houses have been
built and if this is done Florida will
have another staple crop that will
yield millions of dollars and the
growers can produce these crops at
a season when their lands and time
would otherwise be idle. Information
on this subject can be obtained from
the United States department of agrj
culture at Washington, at any time.

There is one crop in Florida that
is practically unfailing and it has
many advantages that make it profit
able to the growers when it is made

POTATOES.
In the first place Florida produces
the very finest sweet potatoes tina :.
can be grown anywhere. They hape
been tried alongside of the famous
Jersey sweet potatoes and others
grown in various sections and they
have always proved themselves SUI
perior in taste and flavor. They are
grown in the summer, when the crop
lands would otherwise be idle and
they are easily grown. requiring the
minimum of care, as the vines are so
thick that they prevent the weeds
from accommodating.
The trouble with this crop in the
past has been that the sweet potatoes
would not keep any length of time
and had to be. disposed Of almost as
soon as dug, so they have been in the
perishable class. Three years ago c..
Lyman Spencer, the agricultural
scientist and investigator began
studying this matter and he evolved

keted as the demand was made fol-

In the Hands Of the People
THE government of the nation is
in the hands Of the people. wien it is
administered in accordance with the
spirit of the Constitution, which they
have adopted and ratified, and hich

granted to their public officers. in all
its branches. where the functions and
duties of the three coordinate

neither one directly or indirectly ex-
ercises any of the functions of either
of the others. Such a practice and
such a government under the Con-
stitution of the United States it is
the purpose Of our party to reestab-
lish and maintain. All authority
must be exercised by those to whom

Not Private but Public viii

Another source of the gravest pub
lie concern has been the reactionary
tendency to substitute private will for
the public will. Instead of inquiring
what the law was and then rendering
i: full obedience, there has been a
disposition on the part of some in
dividuals and of groups to inquire
whether they liked the law. and If
not, TO disregard it. seek to override
it, suspend it. and prevent it's ex-
ecution, sometimes by the method of
direct action. for the purpose of Sc
curing their own selfish ends. The
observance of the law is the greatest
solvent of public ills. Men speak of
natural rights. but / challenge any
enc to show where in nature any

majority. While the law is observed
the progress of civilization will con-
tinue. When such observance ceases,
chaos and the ancient night of des-
potism will come again. Liberty
goes unsupported or relies in it's en-
tirety on the maintenance of order
and the execution Of the law.
No Class Distinctions
There is yet another manifest dis

weakness of the race fromits infancy,

subversive of the traditions and the
independence of America, the Repub-
lican Party is opposed. But our
Party by the record of its members
in the Senate and by the solemn de-
claration of it's platform, by perfor-
nance and by promise. approves tne
principle of agreement among ma
tions to preserve peace. and pledges
itself to the making of such an agree
ment, preserving American indepen-
dence, and rights, as will meet every
duty America owes to humanity.
This language is purposely broad.
not exclusive but inclusive. The Re-
publican Party is not narrow enough
to limit itself to one idea, but wide
and broad enough to provide for the
adoption Of the best plan that can
be devised at the time Of action. The
Senate received concrete propo-
sitior, utterly unacceptable without
notifications. which the Republican
Senators effected by reservations, and
so modified twice voted for ratifica-
alton. which the Democratic admins

tions which limit. The Democratic

While Ponzi, with an augmented

refused a petition Of a temporary in

counsel for Ponzi that he stood able
and willing to pay all ifgimate de.
mands made on his principal Offices

filed in behalf of a claimant for 500
