His rep- utation as a fairly safe guide in the gentle art of moderate tippling, bids fair to secure a firmer foundation! tkan confidence in him as a political! leader. The Qrlando Sentinel emphatically calls Roosevelt a fool. Better look & leedle oudt—a $10,000 damage suit pgainst the Sentinel would interest its owners considerably, And it might be as difficult to prove T.

The United States government i3 just now making the first reasonable sttempts to care for the Florida Sem- inole “Indians that have been made sifice the greater part of the trib: was removed to the old Indian ter- ritory just after the Seminole war A special commissioner, Lucian A. Spencer, lately dean of the Episcopal much experience in the work, has recently been appointed and has just made his first report to the authori- ties. In view of the fact that the drain- age of the'Everglades will drive out the remnant of game upon Which tke Seminoles chiefly subsist, thé tion becomes a pressing one. The commissioner reports that tanners are no-longer buying alligator hides, and that one great source of revenue has, tHereby, been cut off from the Indians, While they cultivate the soil to some extent, they are in no sense farmers, and unless something is done to put them in the way of pro- ducing their living from the ground, they will soon starve to death and disappear. Notwithstanding the dis- advantages under which they have lived since the white man took pos- segsion of the edges of the Everglades the commissioner reports that the Seminoles are increasing in numbers. About the only practical thing that has ever been undertaken for the improvement of these Indians is the work done under the supervision of Bishop Gray by an Episcopal mis- sion on one of the reservations. This mission has established a school that has had a sort of success, but owing to the fact that the old members of | the tribe are averse to education of any kind, not a great deal has been accomplished. Reporting on present council, composed of the old- est men of the tribe, still lived, the had been made that when the old the | passed after the bill to that end was| question of educating these people, | the commissioner said that while the THE EVENING TELEGRAM, LAKELAND, FLA., MAY 30, 1913, it at the expense of the expedition.

The plan of hiring a city or town manager to attend to all the public business of the community is an evo- Jution of the commission torm of gov-, ernment which seems to be growing in favor comnstantly. Many cities of the same class as Lakeland are ex- perimenting with this plan and so far apparently it is giving unquali- fied satisfaction. Of course, place hunters will object that there are .not enough tat jobs to prevent keen isappointment in their ranks, but the people who foot the bills are grat- tied with the results accomplished.

The serious question seems to be to secure sufficient land to allow eighty acres of land to every head of a family that shows any disposition or ability to make successful farmers, It is encouraging to note that the government is at last taking hold of the question in earnest.

Still, a prominent citizen of curative powers of this water being made by accident. Acey Graham, ol near Como, procured a jury of the water to use for kidney and bladder trouble. At the same time a membe: of his family was stricken with pel- lagra, and she drank the water from the Still well. In a few days she was well. Seeing the effect of the water on this patient in the family of M. Acey Graham, a prominent physician prescribed it to another sufferer from the dread disease—one who had had it two years, and in ten days a com- piete cure had been effected. Mr. Still does not have to make & living selling water—he is a rich man-—ani announces that the water is free to any person who is suffering trom pellagra and wishes to try its curative powers. .
