Moore, general manager of the Palm Beach and Everglades Railroad Co., and that there may be no delay in building the road when the first section is built, a bond issue of three million dollars has been ap- proved. The Palm Beach line will cost about one million dollars, and the other two million will be used in the construction of the Miami Okeechobee line and probably other branches into the 'Glades. The bonds are now being en- graved and will be ready for sale by the first of May, said Mr. Moore. Alton B. Parker, former candidate for the presidency of the United States and general counsel for the railroad company, is now preparing the necessary papers, trusteeships, mortgages, etc., and no delay s contemplated.

J. but to whom the voters will un- doubtedly deliver the admonition, “Scat, Catts!” ———te The bill providing the voting priv- flege for the absent voter, which Representative Brown of this county got through the House at the last session of the legislature, but which failed to make the Senate, has been again introduced at the present ses- sion and is likely to become a law. It is one of the measures endorsed by Governor Trammell. But there is another kind of absent voter who needs attention not provided for in this bill. ‘He is the man who re- mains away from the polls from sheer indifference to his duty and| privilege as a citizen and he inflicts a very real harm upon the body pol- itic and public interests generally by doing so. Some of these days the law will take hold of his case and penalize him for his neglect of duty. RS .. o3 Farm demonstration agents are doing a great work in many counties of Florida, but, like other valuable public workers, their efforts are usu- ally taken as a matter of course, and INTEREST OF HORTICULTURE Tallahassee, Fla., April 12.—“A measure known as Senate bill No. 6, a bill to be entitled an act to appro- priate funds for the eradication, control and prevention of citrus can- ker, read in the Senate Wednesday and referred to the committee on ap- propriations, is a bill that should be given prompt passage in both houses.” This is the opinion of Lloyd S. Tenny, of Orlando, secretary of the Growers’ and Shippers’ League, who is in Tallahassee in the interest of measures concerning the truth and fruit growers of the State. ‘“‘Another measure that is a nece: sity in Florida,” said Mr. Tenny, “is known as Senate bill No. 4, intro- {duced by Senator Hudson, of Miami, and is a bill entitled ‘an act to pre- vent the introduction into and the dissemination within this state of in-| sect pests and diseases injurious to plant products of this state; to create a state plant board and prescribe its powers and duties, and making an appropriation for the purpose of car- rying out the provisions of said act.’ This measure has been needed in Florida for years, and at the present only now and then do they receive justly earned appreciation. We note an exception to this rule in the case of the demonstrator over in Escam- bia county, who has been presented with an automobile purchased by popular subscription, in order that he might get over the county more conveniently and make his work more effective. That's an investment that probably will pay big dividends to the citizens of Escambia, and it manifests the kind of spirit that makes for efficiency on the part of public servants and satisfaction on the part of those served. Qe We fear Editor Benjamin, of the Ocala Star, has a very inadequate conception of what constitutes the good things of life, else he would never have given expression to the statement that he ‘‘can’t understand why any man would want to kiss a lady on the cheek, anyway.” We assure the Star editor that, lightly as he views it, kissing a lady on the cheek is far from being an uninter- esting or insipid pastime. Moreover, there is the possibility that, mindful of the Scriptural injunction, the lady may turn the other cheek, and that between the two there may finally be found a middle ground where most satisfying and. satisfac- tory adjustments may be negotiated. Try this, Brer Benjamin, on your plano. — e The Press Associations of Florida form a high-class union, never un- reasonable or grasping in its de- mands, but asking only such prices for subscriptions, advertising and printing as wil] enable the publish- ers to furnish the best of service to their patrons and make the progres- sive steps the times require. In many towns there are “gcab” job printing offices, but theré are only two or three “scab” sheets in South Florida. The scabbiest sheets are those which cut the rate on legal advertising—the rate prescribed by Jaw, and which practically all the reputable papers in the State are under agreement to maintain. Washington, April 12.—The In- terstate Commerce commission be-| | time its enactment is imperative.” BACK HAUL RATE REARING gan hearings on plans for readjust- ment of back-haul rates by trans- continental roads from Pacific coast terminals to points east of the ter- minals to coast States and in the so- called intermountain territory. Ad- justment of the rates was suggested in a recent order by the commission authorizing the trans-continental roads to decrease commodity rates to Pacific comst terminals in order that they might compete with the water carriers using the Panama canal. An increase in back-haul rates was suggested as a proper mens of in- creasing the carriers’ revenues. Plans have been filed with the com- mission by roads which reach Cali- fornia and northern coast terminals. SLAV ASPIRATIONS RE- .o SPONSIBLE FOR THE WAR | Venice, Aprjl 12—Count J\Illull Andrassy, former Hungarian Min- ister of the Interior, has written a book, just published at Budapest en- titled, “Who is Responsible for the War.” The book has received offi- clal approval and is to be published in German at Leipsic and Berlin and in Switzerland in Fremch. A version in English will also be brought out. Count Andrassy is at present in Leipsic superintending the publication. The Count argues in his book that Slav aspirations brought about the war, and that the Russian ambition to possess the Dardanelles contribu- ted greatly to it. He asserts that Austria and Germany had no inten- tion in the beginning of territorial aggrandizement, and urges them not to think of it when final victory is won. He thinks they should be sat- isfled with monetary compensation, and that any territorial additions to their boundaries would not look well or prove of any great advamt- age.
