Two State Fairs,
Both Doing Good.

With state fairs going on at both
Jacksonville and Tampa, the whole
state Of Florida is being given one of
the very best sorts of advertising.
Nothing under the sun pays COM
munities or commonwealth better
than judicious notwithstanding be-
fore the eyes of the world their nat

advantages Within their reach.
In the olden days, the county fair
was social and industrial necessity.
Today the state fair is not less neces-
sary because it is an expanded Oppor-
tunity and an expansive possibility
When a town, city or state gives
meritorious fair, the nation sits up and
takes notice, as it were. Towns and
cities are much like little boys on
their way home from school, with lit
tie girls in the near vicinity. What
they are doing does not, as a rule.
profit them To the maximum unless
someone is watching with approval.
The little boy resorts to all sorts
of fatuOus activity to attract attention.
The town, city, or state, with maturer
judgment. resorts to a display of its
accomplishments, and the city or state
that is most active in procEaiming it.

accomplishments is the one thai, at
tracts the most attention TO its latent
resources and invites the most capital
TO their development by anousing the
confidence of the outsider in the in

A fair at Jacksonville or Tampa ad-
vertises all Florida, but especially the
site of the fair. The same truth
would hold as to Pensacola.

that respectable democrats had to
swallow in 1904, when the policies of
the Brooklyn Eagle and the Times
Union prevailed in the St. Louis con-

instance, which has two candidates for
the senate. he received many pledges
Of influential support.
Colonel Lamar will spend several
days here and will return in March,

An Able Speech.


The Evening News wishes to con-
graduate Col. T. J. T. Brown on the
speech he made at the courthouse last
night. It was very comprehensive
and well-balanced utterance. covering
the ground admirably, and full of no
table declarations.
Especially was Colonel Brown time
ly and forcible in his utteranceS on the
need of conservatism in Florida, in the
necessity for inviting capital rather
than repelling it. His doctrine Of
more bread and butter and less agi-
tation" is likely to awake a respon-
sive chord all over Florida. Essential
ly a man of action, Col Browns ex-
pressions along this line came with
the force of sincerity and they were
highly appreciated by his audience.
On the great questions of deep wa
ter, immigration, financial relief and
states rights, the speech left nothing
to be desired His observations On
his opponents were dignffied but eff
fective; and he concluded with a bril-
liant tribute TO the democratic cause
and to the party's prospects in the
approaching election which brought
forth liberal applause.
Colonel Brown is apt to make a de-
cidedly favorable impression through
out the state, when he goes forth on
his campaign, which viii begin imme-
diately after the close of the state
fair He is certainly entitled to the
best consideration and support of
Tampaites, for he has been a devoted
and poorly-paid fighter for this city.

speech today. 1t should be read by
erybOdy.-Tampa News
