RELATIVE TO ESTABLISHING AY M C A HERE. | The Miami Metropolis is endeav- oring to have a Y. M. C. A. estab lished in that city, and in a recent issue appeared a letter from a resi- dent, which has some suggestions contained therein, which applies to below: “In today’s issue ot your paper, You state that among many things needed in Miami 15 a Y. M. C. A, for the young men and boys. “As a4 newcomer to Miami and 4 {Young man I, too, feel such a need. ludeed, 1 have otten wondered dar- irg the four months 1 have been here why such a progressive and Christian city as Miami does not possess so valuable an adjunct to the charities and such an invaluable medium for the spiritual, moral and physical training of young men and boys. “1 suppose there are many who de- sire such an institution, but are waiting for some kind fairy to give an impetus to the movement by the gift of u large sum of money. Per- sonally, | would rather the impetus Le given in quite another way, name- Iy: By the prayers, faith, zeal and hard work of aunited band of Christian young men of the city. 1 believe were such a company of young men to get together and start even perhaps in u private house, prove their earnestness, faith and zeal by personal hard work, many Christians would be willing to give, and in time a suitable building would be the outcome. “Many young men can only be reached, spiritually, through such a mwedium, and all who have had any Christian work among young men, know that more real work can be done among them when these meet- ings are unmixed. Are there not many in Miami who need a Y. M. (. A.? Tmagine how many young men there are far from their homes who would be glad of such a place. Who, then, is there to do this work? Christian young men of Miami, you! It will mean sacrifice, and all Chris- tion work does, but what heart “|touched by God will stop to think of personal sacrifice? Indeed, we only gain when we lose, only live when we die, “AY.M.C.A. witha well-appoint- ed gymnasium, and perhaps a swim- ming pool, under the management of an eflicient and Christian director and a capable Christian secretary, what a force for good in Miami! “Christian young men of Miami, we have the ‘vision;' let us work hard to make it a reality. I, for one, pledge myself to work and pray fer a Y. M. C. A, in Miami.” PAWN GRAVES IN JAPAN. In times of financial difficulties the Loochooans, residents of the south- western islands of Japan, sometimes pawn the graves of their relatives. Phey are always redeemed, however, as failure to do =0 means tamily dis- The turtleback shaped tombs, vanally Jocated on oa hillside facin [1he grace witer, are elaborate affairs of stone and cement, and their cost and jupkeep often hankrupt the family Nigent Ostrish, An ostrich which recontly passed away at a private zoo in Boaiordshire wag found to hav s eaten seven pounds of stones and a bievels puencture ont- fit. 1t 13 thought, savs London I'unch, that the intelligcnt «1eature had tried to cure an internul cut caused by the sharp edge of the stones. The Kind of Lobbying L'Engle Has Do Lakeland and which we rwx»rodm-o' PARCELS POST WOULD CRIPPLE RETAIL MERCHANTS The enactment of a parcels post law by Congress will divert a large ipart of rural trade to city mail order | merchants, thus crippling -ppruxL1 ’m.nlrl_\' 1,000,000 retail dealers of ""'i {nation and their employes and fam- | ’ilin-r‘. destroy good home markets for | arm products, injure all country {pewspapers which can only live and | give local and general news to their| patrons at their low subscription price| 1y the aid of liberal advertising from local merchants. And finally, when the ruthless storm has wrecked, if] pot bankrupted, the "“"""l,. classes, the recoil will fall in full} {force upon the farmers, in a heavy| fd«mwinlion of farms and their pro- {ducts for want of home markets. All told, about 22,000,000 or one-third of {our population will be damaged and 1:,.unm or less will have been profited. One proposition before Congress i3 to take over the express companies and their facilities; another is to en- gage in transportation in competition with express companies. If the post- office department of our government can arbitrarily compel express com- panies to sell their business, it can force any commercial or manufactur- ing plant to cease its work and let the government run it so much cheap- er. Any parcels post act must, of ne- cessity, cause a large postal deficit to be paid by the masses, most of whom were hurt by the law. Will not this be adding insult to injury? Advocates of such law talk glibly, but ignorantly of its success in Euro- pean countries. (‘onditions there and here are so different that comparisons are valueless except when the truth above i» known to warn us from falling in to | S a like trap. Distances, character of roads and occupations in this coun- try, which is larger than England, termany, France and Spain would negative what might succeed over there, England has ceased to make public annual reports of its post operations, Why, may we ask, rather suspicious, iEnt it? London catalogue houses sent agents to solicit orders for mer- ciaandise on all postal routes and the sequence was chaos and dry-rot of rural towns, Some pseudo farm journals as well as other interests are striving to mis- inform farmers and publishers that home dealers are **blood-suckers and leeches,” living off them, producing nothing themselves, thus stimulating | class hatred but a short step from anarchy, A large acquaintance with rural merchants justities the writer in say- ing that they will compare favorably with a like number of any class of occupation. The big majority are al- ways willing to clieerfully correct er- rors, ready to help a poor farmer when in need, a proposition that a city catalogue house would scorn with levity, The hypocritical cry of *“di- rect from producer to consumer' as a remedy for high cost of living, is delusive. Most of the retail trade in ‘:'m'ul towns is done on credit and as Jlong as tarmers have a home cash I‘l:h\:'kt'! tor their produce in buik they [ Will not divide it up in quantities to suit town families, send it by parcels|; [Dost and wait for their money till pay day. If Congress honestly desired to ben- ofit the country it will enact no par- 'eels post Taw, But the agents of those |anxious for such a law will do their [utmost to have the measure passed.— [ Producers’ Auxiliary, A fine new packing house will be built by the Sarasota Exchange members during the summer. I have never made a dollar in my life lobbying before the Legisla- ture of Florida, or anywhere else, for anybody or anything, but on the contrary | have spent freely of my money lobbying beofre the Florida Legislature for general legislation benefitting all the people of Florida alike. Here is proof of this statement Florida Legislature: Resolution adopted unanimously By Mr. Richbourg, of Walton— House Resolution No. 144: 1t furnishes the first and only in- Sur- stance of a private citizen being thanked by the popular branch of the t Friday, June 4, 1909 Whereas, Claude L'Engle has manifested a deep interest in all mat- ters of legislation pertaining to the public welfare during the session of Legislature of 1909; and Whereas, The said Claude L'En; present session of the to the members of the gle did, during the early part of the Legislature, tender the use of the people’s lobby legislature, together with all data and information contained therein touching questions of public moment and importance : and | Whereas, i people’s lobby The members of this house have accepted the use of said during this session of the Legislature; and ‘ Whereas, The said Clande L'Engle has patriotically given his time land talents ,dounded to the benefit of the people. !nnd lthe said Claude L'Engle. ‘u. I suspect that this will settle t to the editing and publishing of “The Sun,” which has re- now therefore, be it Resolved, That the house of representatives hereby express its thanks appreciation of the courtesies extended and the service rendered by Mr. Richbourg moved adoption of the resolution. Which was agreed ‘e lobbying question in my favor. Yours truly, CLAUDE L’ENGLE Corner Florida avenue and Bay St. The Rev. William Dudley Nowlin, 0. b., pastor.
