A COURSE IN FLORIDA

Among Florida's school population there are
thousands of children born in other states and CIV
en- preliminary training in other schools How much
do they know about this state2 How much will
they know when the high school principal hands
them their diplomasp
A set of questions la Edison would doubtless
bring out the fact they know almost nothing of
the state as whole; yet, if they purpose spending
their lives here no other knowledge is quite so es-
sental to their we'll being and good citizenship.
Florida is well worth course of special in
struction, or even place on the regular curricu-
lum of the public schools. Not Florida history
alone, nor geography, its statistics, but some
of all of these branches so grouped as to give
definite idea of the state. Florida fairly
bristles with interesting facts. Its history is
romantic to the last degree, and we know of no
single volume in which it is adequately told. Its
physical geography is deeply interesting, Here we
can see some of natures processes freshly accom-
plshed 1t has coast line which if Strengthened
cut would reach almost across the continent-a
coastline second to none for beauty and the pos
sibilties of utility.
An old fashioned state handbook improved
and enlarged to cyclopedic dimensions, would con-
sttute a good text book.
The trouble with most literature about Florida
is that it prerequisites few phases of the sub
ject, and omits the others altogether. That is why
nobody ever got a true conception OF it by
reading about it. If there were easy and
certain means of fixing in the mind of every youth
a complete and indellible picture of the state, 1t
would prove in the end a most valuable means of
building up that love of locality which is the foun-
dalton of all patriotism

RADICAL AND CONSERVATIVE

II the angels are spectators of the perpetual
human comedy they probably get the maximum of
mirth cut CT the world old conflict between the
radical and conservative. When a wild eyed an
archist proposed to tear down the whole structure
of civilization and rebuild it after his own speci6-
cations, and tmid reactionary demands Jail
sentences to curb all radical utterances, SURELY
there is amusement in heaven.
We might just well try to accept the celestial
point of view when confronted by unalterable con-
dltlons The progress of the world is the outcome
of the eternal clash between the conservative and
radical forces.
The conservative is satisfied with things as they
are lie is the ballast in the ship of human des-
tiny But he is just dead weight In the half
million years which scientists tell us he has been
on earth, he has never developed single ounce of
propusive energy. The status quo is his solitary
IDEAL
The radical is the dynamic force. He pulls
the thing along. All the progress we have made
since the anthropoid ape was the lord of creation
is due to his energy.
But that is far from meaning that the conserva-
tive should be hated or the radical approved per
Sc Both contributing in their respective ways
to he ultimate result. If the virtue of progress
lies with the radical so does the vice Of error; and
if the conservative never goes ahead he never
jumps the track. &
However. the radical is the more interesting
type. He supplies us with most of our surprises.
He is the man who achieves the impossible, dis
covers the unknowable, and drags the immovable
mass of human dullness in his wake.
But he operates under the law of the survival
Of The 6siest. Mature makes the final selection

A FARMER ON THE BOARD

When man is enjoying a big night, with
ment, he feels at his noblest He is rich. happy
and glorious. The next morning. however. he
feels poor and miserable.
To what shall he attribute his bad fee!ingsp
Was it getting drunk or getting sober2 Most of
US are agreed that the real cause of his depression
was the debauch, yet good. plausible argument
can be put up on the contention that his sin was
failure to keep his spirits duly stimulated
The farmers bloc" which is demanding and
will no doubt get representative on the federal
board, is showing us just what sort of argu-
ments could be used in the supposed case Its
criticism Of the boards actions in the last five
SIX years is not directed to the point which might
be regarded in many quarters as most vulnerable,
namely, that it unnecessarily expanded credit cur
rency, arbitrarily withdrew gold from circulation
and started the country on speculative debauch
which makes the famous South Sea Bubble or
the Holland Tulip craze look like one night
stands; but to the fact that after accomplishing
whatever was the purpose of the imitation, the
board started the process of deAation, the sober
ing process, and cut short the magnificent dreams
of the speculation maniacs.
The aycwed purpose of stocking the federal
board with agrarian members is to stop deAation.
The men who demanding this are the lineal
descendants of Jim Weaver's old greenback party,
committed to the theory that all that money needs
to have behind it is good printing press.
Of all the people in the world, the farmer has
most to gain from sound money and stable prices.
and the least to gain from anything that savors of
speculation. Complete deAation, with whatever
temporary hardships it might entail, would, in the
long run benefit him more and sooner than any
other class Of our citizens Yet he is clamoring
for the thing thai would in effect convert his pro-
ducts to mere gambling material. There is no
objection to having farmer on the board, pro-
vlded he is qualified by knowledge and expert
ence to sit there, but to put man there for the
avowed purpose of SO manipulating the money
market as to encourage speculation is long step
backward

from among his ideas. and the sum total repre-
sens our progress; but for each one she accepts.
she rejects a hundred. That accounts for the
marvellous fecundity of radical IDEAS
The conservative, III opposing all radical inno-
vadons. so nearly right that the chance of error
in any given case is only one percent Yet in that
negligible percentage lies the vital force of hui
mainly.
Most crucihxions. doubtless, have been justified,
but the few mistakes made in that drastic form of
argument have given us our glarious martyrs and
shining examples for the emulation of all men.
Most suppression has been directed against gen.
uine falacy; but the little seed of truth, which
is the only thing in any radical doctrine worth
fearing, always escapes and shines brighter from
its contact with the fire.
And so, when we hear an Il Won't Worker"
lambastins the government, or a temperamental
stand-patter declaring that Debs ought to have
been left to rot in Jail, we might as well smile and
keep SILL 1t opens too big an argument for busy
day.

Daily Poem
EVENING ON LAKE CLINCH

Ger Lake Clihch's placid waters.
AS the shadows longer grow,
Creeping up from far to westward,
Comes the wondrous afterglow.
Flaming banners of the SUNSET
Fiaunt their colors from or high,
And the waters. like mirror,
Send their reflex toward the sky,
Purple shade and opal shadow,
Pearl-gray tint and violet hue,
Mas.er-painting and the copy
Face-to-faco within our view.
Comes the twilight. gently stealing,
Slowly fades theafterglow,
Softly lap the purling waters,
Sliding, gliding to"and-fro.
Like to youths and maidens lowering
On the sandy shore they seem,
Coyly whispering to each o,hcr.
Secrets. sweet, Of love s young
dream.
Darker grow the sky and waters,
Shades of night tegin to fall,
Shyly stars come out a-twinkle,
Hush CT mystery over all.
Now faint but luminous radiance
Slow emergss from the east,
And the stately moon advances
Like snowy vestured priest.
Hank! List to the grand professional
Sung by vested choirs on high,
While in the south we see Orion's
Blazing cross within the sky,
Above the lake the lighted chancel,
Almost we hear the accents deep,
1.-THE Lord is in His holy temple,
Before Him, all earth silence keep.
Slowly moving to the westward,
Now & glorious path OF light
Streams in splendor cross the waters,
RiDpling, shimmering with delight.
Farther end in dusky shadows,
Like the tabled road it seems,
Linking present and the future,
Peopled with all earthly dreams.
n mantle falls the darkness,
Myriad stars their vigils keep,
Dim reflected from the waters,
Drowsy, now, with hast'ning sleep.
Voices. faint, sound through the dis
lance,
Laugh and song and stroke of oar.
Wake of boat phosphorescence,
Moving toward the northern shore.
Now-and-thcn the plash of fishes

On aching feet pace the street, and find the
labor shocking; with fear and dread look ahead
IN spend the long years walking. Some other
man will drive my van and kick up dust and
gravel some other cuss will tool my bus, while
on my legs travel. No more, alas, I'll press
the gas and keep the speed cops busy; the sheriff
came and played his game, and took away my
Lizzie. In times remote bought that boat and
l could well afford it; had them on my toll had
won, and had learned to hoard it. But every
cent and kopeck went to keep my bus a-chooing;
day after day went my way, with creditors pur-
suing. This motor boob must buy tube, a spark
plug a casing; for some blamed part to store
or mart he is forever racing. My good long
green bought gasoline and tires and oil and

Is it not about time for somebody to enlighten
the world on why is the Genoa economic confer
ence? What is it expected to do? Ostensiby it is
to devise means for starting up business in Europe,
but why hold conference in Genoa on that sub
ject? Europe has before it just two ways OF
getting money One is to borrow it from Uncle
Sam, the other to work for it. Since the latter
alternative seems to be out of the question: would
not the proper place for such a conference be
somewhere in the vicinity of Wall Street and

RADICAL THINKING
miami Heraid.)

A queer mental twist is shown by the activi-
ties of the communists who have been seeking
by violence to secure the release OF Sacco and
Vanzetti, convicted of murder in Massachusetts,
The first outbreaks against American officials
and citizens might have been thought due to a
sudden access of anger on the part of groups
here and there. A dispatch from Rome tells of
resolution, passed by group of socialist and
communist leaders, deliberately threatening vio-
lence if the two men are not released, and seek
ing to justify the proposition. The resolution
reads as follows:
LAS Sacco and Vanzetti we're unjustly con-
demned because of their work for communism
in America, we place our services at the disposal
of the committee for whatever action-even the
most extreme-they may consider necessary We
consider the representatives CT the American ar.
Italian governments responsible for any vioien.
action which the working class may be com.
PEELED to take to obtain the liberation of the ar
rested man.
Just how distant representative of the fed
erar government can be held responsible for the
act of jury in state, and how eliminating him
will hasten the of Justice, is a puzzle to
the average man. These two men were legally
tried and legally convicted, and their appeal to
the higher courts taken in regular and orderly
way.
The whole thing exhibits one of the dangers of
radical thinking. Radical minds seem to work
without brakes. They go wild They may start
out rather mildly with a promising theory of
government or of social adjustment They can
not seem to tie the theory down to the solid
things of earth. The theory skids and leads ult
mately into extremes of thought. 1t is not far
step from extremes of thought to extremes of act
The starting point for most socialist, and even
of communist thinking is a humanitarian i'm
pulse The natural end of all such thinking
seems to be violence and bloodshed. 1t is good
idea to watch the beginning of a radical proposal
