An immigration
Department is Needed.

What Florida needs more than any
other one thing is people.
We have millions of acres of I'M
developed soil-soil so rich in pro
ductiveness and of such varied posi-
bilities that those who have not
studied the subject have difficulty in
appreeiatinS the marvellous resources
which lie untouched at our very doors.
What We need is people-peOple
who will dig into the ground. cult
vate the soil, pillow up these waste
acres and allow the sunshine, the at
mosphere, the chemicals of the earth,
and the multifOld forces of this God
given climate to make us rich, happy,
and the envied of all the world. 1t
can be done-we can do it, but there
is only one way to do it.
We must get the people We must
import them. We can't wait for them
to be born and grow up-we'n all be
dead by that time We can't wait
for them to come of their own accord
no state can do that-none has done
it in the memory of living man
We must go after these people. We
must bring them here in ship loads
bring them direct to our own ports
bring them without giving them an
opportunity TO see any of the rest of
the country or to be intercepted and
switched off on the way.
We could settle a million Swedes,
Norwegians. and GeTmans-all agri-
cultural peoples-in Florida and still
have room for more
But, bad as we need them, and valu-
able as these broad acres of Florida
waste land would prove to them, they
will not come unless VS. so after them.
An immigration department, with
the proper men in charge and enough
money to do the work that is to be
done, is the only means through which
these people can he secured. We
should send men to Europe and, in
the name of the State or Florida, Sc
lect honest, industrious, aud hardy
people of the nationalties named, and
as fast as a ship load is secured bring
them direct, land them at Florida
ports. and place them at proper in
tervals on Florida lands.
The question is up to OR state leg
islature. Will you, gentlemen, make
the state rich, and make your
taxes lower by providing the means
to give us more people,

The Illumination of
PalafOx Street.

One of the most attractive features
of the recent Mardi Gras celebration
in this city was the illumination of
PalafOx street with hundreds of mean
descent lights, strung across the street
between Garden and Main streets, and
it is matter of regret that some &C
ton has not been taken with a view
to having the lights retained in their
present position, for use upon Satur-
day nights or upon special occasions
of any description.
Several business men have eX-
pressed themselves as willing to pay
a reasonable sum monthly for this
purpose, and sufficient amount TO
pay for the service on Saturday nights
and other special occasions, as may
be required, would be promptly sub
scribed if an organized movement to
that end were made.
The Illumination of PalafoX street
would undoubtedly result in increas-
ing the crowds upon that thorough
fare, to say nothing of its desirability
for special occasions, with consequent
benefit to the business men, and The
Journal hopes that an effort will be
made TO induce the lighting company
TO allow the lights to remain.

Third District.
The situation in the third district
is not so difficult to understand. The
issues have practically been drawn,
and in one sense, the campaign is
now on, There will be three candi-
dates; William Bailey Lamar, ]. Wal
ter Kehoe, and Jefferson d. Stephens.
venture to assert that the campaign
will be a warm one, another one like
that campaign of 1902 when Bill
Lamar first went to congress.
Mr.. Lamar has his record in con-
gress to stand on, JEFF Stephens his
record in the legislature, and Walter
Kehoe his record as state attorney.
1t will be up for the people to decide
which has made the best record OF
the three.
1 saw where Cooper Griggs, of Apa-
lachicola, was in your city during the
Mardl Gras, and heard he went there
to sound" certain parties as to the
advisability of his entering the con-
gressional race. What encourage
ment he received l do not know but
l predict that Cooper will not be in
the race. He stands close to Fred
Myers, OF Tallahassee, and worked,
along with Kehoe. for Myers in the
of 1902, but Fred is now
pledged to Kehoe, SO / understand,
and Cooper could not rely on him for
the Leon county vote.
The real fight in your district will
be between Bill Lamar and Walter
Kehoe, and it will be another fight
such as was witnessed between Lamar
and Myers in 1902 Whether it will
result as did the one of that year
remains to be seen.

The Recent Gift of
John D. Rockefeller.

| There has been much discussion IN
the press within the past few years as
TO the propriety of religious denomina
tons and educational institutions re
ceiving gifts of money from sources
where it is known that, in the accumu
| latiOn of these funds, unfair or I'm.
worthy methods were used. In shoot
it has been charged that these insti
tutionS have no right TO accept
tainted money" as gifts.
A recent gift which has caused this
John d. Rockefeller to the general
educational fund. In speaking of this
gift, which amounted to S32, 00O. coo. 90,
and which is perhaps the largest indi.
yidual donation of its kind for any
similar purpose, the Jacksonville
Times-UniOn says:
We hear much of cruSadcs against

two-thlrdS of its products. From its
foreign trade it has brought in a stream
of money equal to the gold shipments to
this country. This has gone into circula-
ton and has contributed much to the
prosperity that is widespread to-day.
1t IS not tainted money that the cause

The gift of Mr.. Rockefeller is de-
serving of praise, and will accomplish
world of good, but there is no
reason to defend the business methods
of the Standard Oil Company, in pay
ing tribute to the man who has ma
nipulated the working and building up
of this gigantic trust
1t is possible that 1.-The people" have
not been held up" in his interest, if
by the people" is meant every man,
woman and child in the United States,
but it is certain that great major
ity of the people" have been held
up by this trust. Rockefeller may
not have done it personally, but his
company did.
The gift of the Standard Oil mag
nate will benefit thousands of young
men and young women in this coun-
try, but there are doubtless other
thousands who have been hurt, and
many ruined, in the accumulation of
this money that is now being turned
back to the people from whom it was
so unjustly secured. Let Rockefeller
be given a just amount of praise for
his most generous act, but in doing 50
let us not attempt to excuse the ma
licious and unfair, if not unlawful,
acts of the Standard Oil Company in
the past.

By Wireless to The Journal.


' Politopolis, Fla, Feb. 16.-Fron
present indications it seems there viii
be very little doing in the COMPRESSION
al line in the next campaign, except
in the third district.
In the first district it has been
understood for some time that Steve
Sparkman would not be candidate
for reelection, and several prominent
politicians in this district have been
figuring on getting his seat Since
Sparkman has been put in line to be
! the ranking democratic member OF
that rivers and harbors committee III
congress, however. several states have
been changed. 1t seems pretty Ger
tain now that the Tampa man will
be candidate to succeed himself, and
these politicians who have been spec
ulating on getting his seat will have
to go after other offices if they expect
to get in the campaign There Is not
one in the district that would think
of measuring lances with Sparkman
for his congressional seat. He is just
now in a position to do Florida a
world of good, and the people will not
listen to any talk of his retirement.
Among the prospective candidates
for this position in case Sparkman
declined to run might be mentioned
Jeff. Browne and Hunt Harris, of Key
West. JEFF. Browne is certain to run
for something in the next primary,
and the chances are that he would
have been in the fight for congress
man, but now since Sparkman is I'M
decided about his intentions, it is not
known what JEFF. will do
Hunt Harris is said to have con-
gressionaI aspirations and some say
that he is making his big fight to
be president of the senate in order
to give him a boost for the seat in
Washington. IL is hardly possible that
both of these men would run for this
office, but stranger things have been
known to happen in the political game.
Another man who has been prOmi-
nentIy mentioned in this connection
is Park NJ. Trammel of Lakeland. Mr..
Trammel is a young lawyer, and was
the president of the last state senate.
He is a very handsome man and has
many winning ways, but as ''polit-
cal heavyweight he is not much.
Either Browne or Harris would have
easily sailing if Trammel were their
only opponent.
The state attorney of the fifth judi
cial circuit is another man who has
been looked on as q probable candi-
date for this place, but like Mr.. Tram
mel, he is very young, ana would have
little show against the older fellows
in the game.
Second District.
In the second district there seems
little question now but that Frank
Clark will be returned without opposi-
ton There was some talk about
Clark running for the United States
senate, but Frank knows a good and
sure thing when he sees it, and he is
not going to be fooled into this fight.
He is making a splendid record as
congressman, and will stay in that
position for several years yet, or as
long as he can hold it
The ardent admirers of the brilliant
county solicitor of Duval have been
trying to entice him into the game
for some of the higher Offices in the
next Campaign, but viii Bryan has
refused thus far to say what he will
do. 1t was first rumored that he would
run for congress, am; later it was

Editors Should See
Dredges at Work.

The newspaper men who attend the
State Press Association meeting at
Key West should try to stop on a
day at Fort Lauderdale and see what
is being done there in the much
mooted matter of drainage.
We understand that Governor Brow
ard will be glad to accompany the edi-
tors as far as Fort Lauderdale and il
they can stop over there a day they
will have an opportunity TO see, at
short range, the actual work of the
dredges and to judge from actual OBJ
servation as to the feasibility of the
drainage project.
The Journal would suggest that the
newspaper boys take advantage of
this opportunity. 1t will be worth
more TO them than all the long-range
arguments that the governor or any
one else can make
