' | The tourlst or homesecker who comes to Florida and sizes up the | State from the car window misses his guess in every instonce and fre- quently returns homg oy the ncxtj train a disgusted man, to abuse and revile the Land of Flowers forever- | more. i In truth the great uncultivated areas of IFlorida do not look invit- ing 1rom the car window and it is pot surprising that the man who', is satisiied to rest his judgment on that superficial, fleeting view of thinys uses his return ticket as soon as possibie. So it has always been with new lands awaiting develop- ment, for their least pleasing as- pects are most obtrusve to the vis- ftor and if he be of the “early quit- ter"” varicty he fairly runs away from the opportunity and leaves it to others of clearer vision and bet-: ter stayiny qualties to get beneath | the surface of things and exploit the rich field abandoned by the quitter. The DeLand News masses the concrete testimony that the, car window expert is mistaken in his hasty appraisement in the follow- ing tprecnant paragraph: ‘Citrvs trufts brought approxi- mately $14,000,000 into Florida for the season just closed. Besides cit- rus fruits, Ilorida ships annually many train loads of Irish and sweet potatoes, lettuce, watermelons, can- taloupes, tomatoes, eggplants, cdl- ery, pineapples, guavas, peppers, squash, beets, cabbage, strawberries, and other vegetables, fruit and truck, cotton, fertilizer, cattle, hides, lum- ber, shingles, lath, crossties, brick, pottery, clay, phosphate, rosin and turpentine, cigars and tobacco. It would be interesting to learn the amount of money brought into the State sinco last July for all these that something was wrong, yet noti knowing exactly where to place the | wiong, voters by the million Dolted | the rezular Republican orzanization last year. Woodrow Wilson was elected president, and the power of the lobby over legislation was The people never would h\\'e Lknown how and by whom they have been governed for sixteen years if Wilson had not been elected. This brought ‘the invisible government’ | i into the limelight.” —0 Editors have their uses in many ways. They have been referred to as | moulders of public opinion, although we have never yet caught one right in the act of successful moulding; but that they have some influence in that direction can hardly be *HE EVE doubted since people are constantly urging them to attack all sorts of evils from the robber tariff to the local trash nuisancce. Perhaps no editor in Florida has been without frequent opportunity to demonstrate his value to his community in small but useful ways, and DLditor McCreary of the Gainesville Sun re- fers to one of them as follows: There 13 not a day that passes but the good ladies of this town do not insist upon the editor of this paper keeping behind the proper officials of the city to put the town in a good | sanitary condition and order ol pa- pers and othey trash from being | thrown on the streets and in the yards. e e That Boston preacher flaming with indignation over the scant apparel of so many society women and girls these days almost whets even our modest and circumspect curiosity { when he says in a dispatch today in the Telegram: ‘‘And the end is not yet. ‘expose toilet.’ I understand the hobble and sheath skirt will' be tame beside it.” We shall join with our Boston brother in denouncing this scandalous Paris thing just as soon as it appears, but in order to de- inteilizently, we must it and wwe shall keep a nounce it first see sharp lookout for it to that end, al- | though we would not go as far as Boston to inspect it. o The Bryan primary law passed by the last Legislature, was declarcd to be all that was good and a remedy for every evil in our primary sys-’ tem; but the editor of the Punta Gorda Ilerald has given it careful study and pronounces it a failure, _“much more complicated than the old one and the result will be general confusion and conmequent diszust and indignation.” Dut we never can tell about an untried law and until we give this one a trial it might be better to suspend judgment. Law is machinery and the only way to test | it is to apply the power and see how " the wheels go round. | —0 And fifty years from now the will hold the battle’s centennial.— Miami Metropolis. More likely the grandsons and the great grandsons. One hundred years after the battle sons of the noldiers who fought it will be mighty and other products. When Florida people learn to work up all these materials and ship the finished pro- 4uct, our population will increase four to six times its present num- der. PSS RS, WOODROW'S TURN TO LAUGH. The Democratic party has every right to be proud of the record thus far made by President Wilson, and the country, regardless of party, to be satisfied with his administration. Although conducting his office along decidedly bold and original lines, in gome respects, in which he has flouted precedent without mercy, not only has he made no “bad breaks” but he has performed some service of such positive and reformatory character that it is really epoch- making, The American people didn’t | suspeet that an “insidious’” lobby had been for years directing national lezislation by methcds so cunningly concealed that Congress itself was an unsuspectingg catspaw until Woodrow Wilson told them of it, and urged its exposure and destruction. He was laughed at for his pains but be laughs best who laughs last and now the president has proved his, cage and the insilious lobby stands confessed, The tremendous service rendered the people by President Wilson in this matter is well de- scribed by o pror nment northern pa- per in these w : “What is ¢ by the Mulhall revelation is obbrists have ecutrolled le; for the past | sixteen y X onle have not | had any voice in w.king important | fiscal laws. Even the party in pow- er did not control. Both were over- ruled by an agency they knew noth- ing about. Important laws ran, as uwsual, in the phrase, “Be it enacted | by the Senate and House of Repre- gentatives,” ete,, but many of them originated in this lobby, other laws were defeated by it; and, knowing scarce and hard to find. e Those little Balkan nations now engaged in cutting each others’ throats are rapidly degenerating to the level of Mexico in their satur- nalia of blood and senseless slaugh- ter. Keep it up much longer and Turkey will seem almost decent by comparison with them. 0 The tourist printer who drops in at the office of the Tarpon Springs Progressive office and gets a “take” of that Greek copy to set, will feel sure that he's got 'em again and will swear off on the spot.
