A FORWARD LOOK.
Another year is before us.
present and future. If the future is to be judged by the accomplish-
merits of the "Government of the people, by the people and for the
people" since it was created, there is a mighty career before the Am-
erican Republic and people.
In the early years of our government the laboring classes were
in a comparatively helpless condition. They lived poorly; were
clothed, in garments of coarse meterial, and were content with fare
limited in quantity end meagre in quality. Pppular education was
unknown; slavery was general, imprisonment for debt was the rule,
and the law" books of the various American States had the death pen-
alty for from ten to twenty-five different crimes. The statute books
of England were blackened with no less than two hundred capital
crimes. The rich but not understood soil of our country gave scant
returns and farm and factory had the rudest tools and devices.
When wise workmen sought to lighten toil by labor saving machinery
the attempt was met with fierce opposition. Man. struggled up-
ward slowly and was convinced only when defeated. Argument did
not make him give up his prejudice, but fact did. The first manu-
facturer of cast iron plows could not, sell them because farmers be-
lieved the new contrivance would poison the soil. ,
Labor saving machines were -eijarried as enemies. When it
was shown that the cotton-gin could clean more' cotton and do it bet-
ter than his own hands, he reluctantly admitted the fact, but sturd-
lly opposed the next application of a l.ke principle.
Since the formation of the American Union the world has wit-
nessed greater progress in everything that tends to make life useful,
profitable and comfortable, than in all of the thousands of years of
recored history. Evidences of this multiply each year as seen in
t vim iuwui vi euuutuon, me aooiiuon 01 cruel pumsnments, the pro-
tection of labor, the care of children, the gifts to philanthropy, the
movements to abolish war, the prohibition of the liquor traffic, the
prevention of drug consumntion and of diseAses. and trip wiH.&nra!ii4 A
t worK lor reforms of all kinds.
The government of the United States is now well along; in the
3econd century of its corporate existence and the entire Eastern hem-
isphere looks upon our land as the future workshop of the civilized
world. This is indeed the promise of America to humanity. As to
t our agricultural resources, me lime may come when they will be no
greater than enough to s-ipply the necessities of the millions of work-
ers who will then inhabit the continent of America, while all Europe
will be forced to depend upon the grain fields of Russia and Siberia
for bread stuffs.
But to American skill, industry, and inventive genius must turn
the necessity of man in his extremity, with full hope that there can
be no mechanical or scientific problem incapable of solution by us;.
no conceivable human dilemma from which well fed, well clothed and
well housed American genius cannot extricate the unfortunate.

fill the promise of America and win and maintain leadership in the
world race in agricultural commercial and manufacturing enterprise
as well as in the moral, mental and physical uplift of the human fami-
ly.
While the farmers of Europe are fighting and killing each oth-
er the farmers of America must plant and harvest as they have never
done before. Theirs ia the part to fill with food the eager hands that
will soon be stretched across the sea. The duty of feeding war-
wrecked and famished Europe must fall largely upon American farms
It is a duty at once humanitarian and profitable. '

BROWN WILL DECISION UPHELD
$25,000 Estate Lost To "Curliy"
Brown Through Several Court
Contests
Jacksonville. The supreme court of
the state, at Tallahassee, affirmed the
decision of the circuit court, sustain
ing the decision of the county court,
in denying the probation of the copy
of the alleged will of the late Mrs.
Harry D. Brown by her former hus
band, the couple having been divorc
ed. The value of the estate is estimat
ed at $25,000, consisting of personal
property, and the will case has been
In litigation for years.
Witnesses testified that Mrs. Brown
had made a will, a short memoran
dum, by which she intended to devise
all of her personal property to her
former husband, but the original copy
was never located nor found. One ol
the witnesses, a Mrs. Ana Gates, said
that she had made a copy of the will
and had written it in a memorandum
book and it was this alleged copy of
the will which Harry D. Brown, who
well known as "Curly" Brown,
brought to the county judge to have
probated.
Four sisters and a brother ot the
deceased contested the filing ot the
will and its probation and the case
has been in the courts ever since.
Charles H. Chestnut, cashier of the
Citizens' Bank, and Mrs. Nugent, a
sister- of the late Mrs. Brown, were
then appointed administrators ot the
estate and have in their custody the
cash and valuables which go to make
up the $25,(WO estate which Mrs.
Brown left. '
