THE FOURTH ESTATE.
The following splendid tribute to the work of
the newspapers in the Sixth Federal Reserve dis
trict was paid by St. Elmo Massengale, to the
newspaper men of the district :
"Our district is 84 per cent rural. It covers a
larger area than any other district in the United
States. There are twelve districts. Ours 'is the
sixth. We could put three or four others like
New York down in ours and lose them. The dis
tances are immense The job we have had in the
way of publicity and that you men have put over
has been, I dare say, bigger than any other dis
trict.
What have you done? You jumped right in
whole-heartedly, one hundred per cent and you
sold this war to the people. The newspaper is
the greatest educator on earth. It absolutely
could not have been put over in the sixth district
without your help. We started to keep clippings,
one for each loan of just the straight news ar
ticles that we had sent out to our 110 dailies and
600 weeklies and agricultural papers and relig
ious papers and others. We found it would take

Tallahassee. May 14. Miss Agnes
Neva MoKinna, of Pensacola, Is th
heroine of the hour at the capital.
Even the success of Mrs. O'Brien in
getting: the Glades county bill thruofh
the house over the protests and fili
bustering: of that noted political wire
puller, Mr. Perry, of Lee county, is for
the time overshadowed by the feat of
Miss McKlnna getting both
branches of the legislature in the no

She was one of the most untiring and
persistent workers that has ever
struck the capital of Florida, and It
Is not an exaggeration to say that the,
success of the measure Is due entire
ly to her efforts. Of course, the bill
was not what she wanted, oui me
politicians bullied her so much about
the pension bill, she thought it best
to take what she had a chance to put
over.
For the first, time since convening
of the present session the house pn
Monday sat down- hard on a proposi
tion to change its rules regarding the
time for meeting. They had been
changed so often that it had actually
become difficult for any one to keep
Up with the meeting time.
Now listen for .the expressions of
discontent by the women who have
thought more of society than of rais
ing children. They will, of course,
think the passage of a mother's pen
sion bill an outrage. Some of them who
own property have already been heard
from, and to say they are mad, but
mildly expresses it.
Mr. Wilder has received a majority
report of the committee favoring the
passage of his road bilL It was only
a majority of one though, and those
who opposed it in committee have not
quit fighting yet. It Is expected to
be a right lively scrap when the bill
reaches the floor of the house.
There is divided opinion here as to
what will be the result of the Intro
duction of the resolution providing for
the removal of the capital from Talla
hassee to Ocala. Mr. Phillips still con
tends that he believes he will get a
favorable report from the committee
en constitutional amendments, - while
others vitally interested In the matter
claim If the matter is ever reported
at all it will not be a favorable re
port. .
Mr. Eugene Hutchinson was at the
capital yesterday. Mr. Hutchinson has
recently returned from Baltimore,
where he went for treatment, and his
many friends throughout the state will
be ! glad to learn that he considers
himself in better health now than ho
as been during the past five years.
The Senate has receded from its de
termination to adjourn on the 15th of
this month. It has now decided to
adjourn last day of the time allowed
by the constitution. , The necessity for
reaching such a conclusion la hardly
perceptible.

The taxable property, railroad property and
real estate is approximately $882,000.00. The
amount of the bonds to be issued is $160,000.00,
the interest on which at 5 per cent will amount
to but $8,000 annually, or an addition of about
nine mills on the present assessed valuation of
the district. '
In addition to the fact that the valuation of
the property in the district as a whole will be
greatly increased by the investment of new cap
ital and the development of new land3 and in
dustries in a community that can be reached by
hard roads, and will be accessible from east or
west over well constructed bridges, and brick or
cement roads thus tending continually to lighten
the small increase in taxes required to build this
bridge and construct this road, the federal and
state government has set aside $200,000 to as
sist in this work if we vote the bonds. In other
words the federal and state governments which
have already appropriated $122,500 for work on
the road east of Milton to the Okaloosa line, to
assist in the construction of the Blackwater
bridge and also to assist in the construction of
the approach of the Molino bridge, offers to give
$100,000 toward the construction of the bridge
across the Escambia river, and another $100,000
to assist in the construction of the hard roads
proposed in thi3 new district provided Santa
Rosa and Escambia counties provide a iike
amount for the construction of the Escambia
river bridge-and the proposed special district se
cures a Ijke amount to apply on the construction
of the proposed roads. Both of these purposes
will have been met if the voters in the proposed
district votes the $160,000 bonds. Thus it will

"But whether there be prophecies, they shall

whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish

"And now abideth faith, hope, love, these
three; but the greatest of these is love."
And love here means the desire for others'
good so that fundamentally the way to keep
young and strong is to work in a whole-souled
fashion to enrich others lives.

Tallahassee, May 14. The hardest
fight made at this session so far by
the Monroe county delegation in the
house was their effort to pass Mr.
Brook's bill providing for the reduc
tion of the legal rate of interest in
Florida. For some time Mr. Brooks
has been trying to get the bill up for
a hearing, but something would' always
intervene to prevent it. , Finally a few
days ago, he got it set as a special
order.
When it was reached Mr. Brooks
spoke at some length in its behalf. He
showed that at the present . time 32
states have the legal rate fixed at six
per cent, six states at Seven per cent
