Attached to this is the assertion
''The country about Los Angeles has
been made attractive to settlers, but
the country about Jacksonville has nc
Improvements of any kind. The figures
tell the result"
In quoting opinions on the subject,
one man says:
"I hardly feel that 1 am qualified tc
make comparison between your city
and Los Angeles or Southern Califor-
mia, but 1 am inclined to the opinion
that if the same push and energy were
| utilized in Jacksonville as in Los Ange-
les your city would very soon reach
the desired population"
Still another remarks:
Let us emulate the example of Los
Angeles, which has acquired over 200, 600
people while Jacksonville has acquired
| less than 50000 By persistent adver-
tising and a liberal expenditure of
money Los Angeles has attracted a
large population of people of wealth, of
which a large percentage have winter
homes"
All of which is very ineresting, be-
sides being true-and is undoubtedly
very fiattering to Los Angeles, which
can with all due modesty admit that
''the half has not been told"
But, recognizing all that Jacksonville
says about its own lack of energy and
foresight, will the mere matter of in
ternal or adjacent improvements make
that city rival of this, even for win
ter tourist business, let alone for all
the-year-round residence? Hardly.
In the first place, Jacksonville lacks
the charms of climate so abundant here.
True, in winter it is often mild and
balmy in Florida, but equally often the
frost comes and the tropical beauty is
reduced to ruin and desolation. Even
when the weather is warm it is often
muggy, enervating and unwholesome,
Here a killing frost is unknown and
the warmest day of summer braces and
tones one, while mugginess is unknown.
During the summer-in fact, at all times
save for two or three winter months
Florida is impossible; here the summer
| is as charming as the winter, and
each has fascnations of its own to de-
| light, found nowhere else. Miasmatic
swamps and impenetrable morasses
make Florida an ideal home for croco-
diles, but a terror for humans here
man finds his most perfect estate, and
every day in the year it's delights un-
fold to him in newer and more pleasing
guise. And as the sole basis of Florida
is its alleged climate, and as Los Ange-
les and Southern California has a bet
ter one every day than Florida can
boast any day. it's one claim to attrac-
| tiveness is blasted right on the start.
| OF course, Southern California has
many other bases for growth and pros
perity, not enumerated here. All, how
ever, are strangers to Florida and so
cannot possibly enter into the argument
in fairness, But meeting our sister
city of Jacksonville on its ono. sole and
only ssertion-climate-an utterly
routing her there, Los Angeles begs in
all kindness to encourage her efforts
at betterment in every way, with the
idea that she may thereby make her
self the more tolerable to those forced
to live there.
But as to rivaling Los Angeles for the
| tourist business, winter or summer, any
time or anyhow-"it is to laugh"
