We like this idea of doing things in one duy— doing them right now No better motto to insure accom- plishment was ever devised than the simple one “Do it now!" and it is just as good for a community as for an individual. Take the instance of the erection of a church by the citi- sens of Lakeland recently, If the jroject had been gone at in a half- hearted way, it doubtless would have some time—per- But the dragged along for haps for a conside able time, when the proposition to crect gtructure in a day was advanced, everybody took hold of the enter- prise with vim and vigor, because people will naturally work with far more interest when they can sece re- sults immediately ahead. M. (. Stanford, president of the Kissimmee Board of Trade, likes the o It Now plan, and advances a prop- osition to apply it to the work of voad-building. He declares that with the aid of volunteers —and volun- teers for such a project doubtless can be secured—the road running through Osceola from Orange to Polk can be put in first-class condition in a single day. He grew enthusiastic in contemplation of his plan, and added that a road from Tallahassee to Tampa, by way of Jacksonville, could be built in 2 day. And it can. All that is needed is a little organi- zation. The people already have the enthusiasm. They appreciate the value of a good road. Many of them would vote for bonds to secure bet- ter highways. But, instead of wait- ing till a bond issue can drag its slow way to a point where funds are available, and then waiting the awarding of contracts and innum- erable other delays, why not build a road during the time it would take to vote on honds? As Mr. Stanford says, the idea is rot new or untried. It has been carried out in other parts of the country. It can be done here. We trust our Osceola county friends will set an example of the Do It Now plan of road building, and that it will prove such a success that it will stir the emulation of road builders in Polk and every other county of the State, WE NEED YOU. We need men n Florida with pro- gressive ideas; men who have the spirit of the pioneer in them, for here i Florida is the last frontier; the last chance to carve a home in the wilderness; to make the raw land vield a bountiful harvest when wa- tered by the sweat from perspiring and enriched by fertilizer mixed with brains. California owes ler present status to men who had very little, if any farming experience She has been built up by men who lines, who had some money to invest in g brows had made successes in other Jand where nature was kind and who were lured by the fascination of pro- ables i Florida ducing fruits and ve semi tropical olime. the mecea of the hopes of this class el citizens.

Three bundred and two (302) stu- dents from 44 Florida counties and 21 States and foreign countries ut- tended the State university at Gaines- ville last session, as shown by the Jatest catalogue, which we have just received. This catalogue sets forth the excellent advantages offered at the University of Florida for broad, iiberal and professional education of our Florida boys. The work of the university is divided into the fol- Jowing colleges and divisions: 1. The College of Arts and Sciences, providing excellent oppor- tunities for a general college course. 2 The College of Agriculture, pro- vides for what may be termed the “New Agricultural Era” and the *New Profession.” It offers courses in Agriculture, Horticulture, Animal lusbandry, Dairying, etc. 3. The College of Engineering gives prac- tical courses in various branches of Civil, Electrical, Mechanical and oth- ¢r branches of engineering. 4. The College of Law makes special provi- who intend to ion for younz men practice in Florida. In addition to the work of our faculty, our Su- preme Court Judges delivered lec- tures there last vear. 5. The Teach- provision for the training of teach- ers for the rural, graded and high schools of the State. It has just received a gift of $40,000 from the Peabody board for a college build- ing. 6. The Graduate School for ad- vanced study; 7. The Agricultural Experiment Station; and 8. The Uni- versity Extension Division, embrac- ing Farmers' Institutes, Boys' and Girls' Corn and Tomato clubs, and various correspondence courses in Agriculture are fully explained in the catalogue. This book will be furnished on re- quest of the president of the State university, Gainesville, Fla. WHEN TO PLANT IN FLORIDA.

The committee has been united ab- solutely in support of the progressive idea, and the members have outvied with one another in their efforts to have thg platform express the very foremost thought of modern democ- racy. Strong Words Sought. The strongest and tersest words Liave been sought in framing every plank in the hope that the party's declaration of principles would be so vital and so instinct with convic- tion that no one could any doubt of the purpose of the Demo- cratic party to tulfill its pledges and relieve the masses of the people from what are denounced as the abuses by the privileged classes There also is an effort to so frame the platform as to appeal to the Re- publican progressives in the hope that many of them may be won over, and indeed, in the part of some, that Colonel Roosevelt may be induced to abandon his further presidential am- Litions and join the Democrats in tringing about results on which thev declare his views are in accord with their own.
