FLoRiDA's OPPORTUNITY
IS IN DRAINING SWAMPS


Editor Pensacola Journal:
Two years ago could catch ten
fish with a hook and line for every
one that l can catch now in the bays
and bayous in this part of the state
The nets, seines, fish traps, etc., have
almost. and will in the near future,
exhaust the supply of fish unless the
| legislature takes action for their pro-
| lection.
Ten years ago / could not see a
| log at saw mill that would square
less than eight inches. Now / see
them so small that eight inches
square is ali that can be made out of
them.
The foregoing facts indicate to my
mind that the fish industry, pine logs
and turpentlne boxes combined will
not always support the people of this
state. And, as it is reasonable to
suppose that the people of Florida do
not want to go out of business, would
it not be well to look ahead a little
and see what is best for the future
Of the state and its people?
Thanks to the goodness of nature
the opportunity for splendid future
is easy to find in the rich and pro-
ductive soil. The best land in this
state has never as yet been scratched
up except to remove the saw logs
from it. Most of Florida soil will
astonish stranger in Its productive
ness, but the land that will astonish
the natives is the swamp land when
properly drained.
Thirty-iye years ago, and even
later, there were thousands of acres
of land in Champaign county, Illinois,
that was regarded as worthless. 1t
could not be sold for more than dol
lar an acre. But as time passed some
people began to think and after a
while they began to dig and plant and
watch the results; and finally the
legislature passed drainage law
that enabled those who wished to
drain to force an outlet, and today
every acre of that worthless land will
sell for one hundred and sixty-five
dollars, and some of it for one hundred
and ninety dollars. per acre.
Oh, that the people Of Florida could
see the capabilities of the soil. Then
indeed would Florida soon be the gar
den spot of the world.
Drainage produces large crops of
good things. and reduces the crop of
bad things (diSease.) There is land
right here in Santa Rosa county
which, If drained, will produce more
without fertilizer than the undrained
land will produce with all the fertil-
izer that can be put upon it.

THE QUESTION OF
STATE HIGHWAYS.
est. Augustine Record.)

| When the MacWilliams bill has
made it possible for US to have two
grand trunk highways from Pensaco-
| Ia to Miami and from Jacksonville to
Tampa, how shall this great cross
be constructed? So far as the public
is instructed at present, the details
are all missing, and when the Times
Union quotes the New York law for
these details. it is very far from pro-
| viding them for Florida Is it not
well to let the people into the secrets
as preparation for gaining their
support?
Who is to mark out the line from
Pensacola to Miami, and from Jack
sonyilIe to Tampa? In a country
like ours, we think straight line
should be followed, after the Roman
model We have no mountains to tun.
mel, and the swamps are not swamps,
in any proper meaning Of the word,
since nothing makes them different
except the presence of water in suf-
ficient quantity to prove nuisance.
Now, having given authority and the
route selected, what is the material?
Here is the greatest test of ability
The road should be equally good and
durable in all its parts, but the ma
terial should vary to accommodate
itself to the demands of location and
transportation. There are many good
materials for road building in the
state, and those at hand should be
used as far as possible. To bring
stone from other states to make a
macadam bed is folly, unless We have
no other material equally good. Here
is where common sense must join
hands with the science of engineer
ing, and where the value of the man
is to be tested. 1t is above all to be
hoped that the state officials to whom
direction is given be something better
than mere politicians who will return
support for fayors received and waste
the public money by giving us a pre-
tense of road.
It is to be presumed that the de-
tails have been carefully studied, and
some memebr of the legislature
should have an eye towards an en-
gineer of recognized standing and
the requisite experience. Unless the
mantle of authority fall on the right
man, the cause Of good roads will be
hindered rather than advanced by
legislative action at the present time.

Congressman Clark's
Defense of Florida.

A recent issue of The Savannah
News contained the following relative
to Congressman Clark's defense OF
this state against the charge OF poem
age on the floor of the national
house of representatives
The people of Florida appreciate the
defgense of his state on the floor of the
house on Monday. which Representative
lAClark of the second district Of Florida
made against the charge Of peonage
brought by a writer of article in a
New York magazine. What led him to
take notice Of the charge. at the time and
Din the place he did. was the report that
it was the purpose OF the Department Of
Commerce and Labor To send a commits
sion to Florida to find out what founda-
ton there was for the charge.
The Morning News published few
days ago long dispatch from one of its
Florida correspondents. in which IT was
pointed out that the article in the maya
zine had only a slight foundation of
truth. In other words, what there was
in 1t that was true was not calculated to
show that the law against peonage was
being violated. It was what was false
that showed violations of law. The in
ference from the dispatch was that the
magazine article was simply an effort to
create a sensation that would call atten-
'tion TO the magazine.
The way Mr.. Clark. handled the maya
zine and its owner was gratifying to his
constituents. In fact, to the people of
Florida generally. He denounced the arti-
Gle and its writer and condemned in the
harshest terms publications that deal in
fasehood for the purpose of increasing
their sales. He said he was well aware
that his attack on the magazine and us
owner would make him a target of the
anger and venom of the magazines
owner. but he was willing to be such
target If he could thus save his state
from the Injurious effects of the article
in question.
Articles like that to which Mr.. Clark
called attention are calculated to do a
vast amount of harm. They circulate
among the people who do not know the
truth respecting the matters of which
they treat Just at present Florida is
to invite immigration. State
ments like those which Mr.. Clark de-
as false turn aside those who
may intend to make FLORIDA their home.
They give false, impression of the state
and its people. And there is no easy way
to meet such charges and correct the
false impressions they make. 1t is a
pity that the people Of a state slandered
as those of Florida were by the magazine
IN question, do not unite, and, by the
force of public sentiment, keep the OBJ
noxious periodical from circulating among
them.

IMMIGRATION
CONFERENCE
Held at White House Last Night Re-
gardins Conditions In
South Carolina.

Washington, Mar. IA conference
OF two hours duration was held be-
tween the president, Attorney General
Bonaparte, Secretary Stratus, Presi-
dent Gompers. of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor, D. A Tompkins, of
Charlotte, n. c., and former Mayor
Smythe, of Charleston, 8. c., sequel
to that of yesterday in which the mat
ter Of assisting immigration" in
South Carolina was discussed.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1907-03-13

1t is gratifying that the immigra-
ton law, as Interpreted by Attorney
General Bonaparte, doesn't in any way
block the plans of the Georgia Immi-
grafton Association for bringing immi-
grants from Europe to this state. It
isn't the purpose of the association to
expend money in paying passages of
Immigrants or to do any other thing
than can be construed into a violation
of the law.
Mr.. Betjeman, the chairman of the
Executive Committee of the associa-
ton, says that the association is going
very slowly and cautiously, and is con-
sulting the Washington authorities in
respect to every step it takes. He also
says that the very best class of immi-
grants is being secured, and that he
has no doubt that even those who are
hostile to the immigration movement
will find nothing in the association
work they will care to criticise.
The purpose of the section that was
added'to the immigration bill that was
passed just before Congress adjourned
was evidently to prevent the solicit
ing and assisting OF immigrants to
come to this country. 1t was thought
fully studied by the Congressman from
this state before the bill was voted
upon in the House. and the conclusion
was reached that It wouldn't interfere
with such methods to secure immi-
grants as those employed by South
Carolina, but. according to the opinion
of the Attorney General, it does inter
fere. The labor agents are very ae-
tive, and IL another shipload is
