Patten Sells; Price Goes Up.

That was last August. Mr.. Patten
sold corn and the farmers bought. Ever
since then the price of corn has been
going up. With the beginning of the
Christmas season the farmers began to
close out their line at profits of from
6 to 10 cents a bushel.
Meanwhile a group of corn "buils,"
composed to a large extent of cotton
men, whom Mr.. Patten squeezed Sc
verely in his recent incursion into the
southern cotton market, have organ
lied to keep the price of corn up and
have joined with the farmers in their
efforts to make things unpleasant for
Mr.. Patten.
That means that Mr.. Patten must
continue buying corn now while corn
is going up, for if he waits for prices
to go down a situation may arise
which will make it impossible for him
to get hold of corn at any price. Also,
there is the danger hat corn may go
to 81, as the bulls confidently assert.

exchange views as to the WAYS and
means which should be employed to
get this great work under way. AS
We have pointed out repeatedly in this

form the needed inland connecting
chain between all the great rivers of
the United States save those that

ing from the great streams of the
Middle West to the ports OF the At
lantic, in connection with the Atlantic
coast inland route which the govern
ment. despite the obstinate indiffer-
ence OF Joe Cannon, must eventually
construct. While the peninsula canal
proposition is by no means new. it is
as practicable today as it was when
the first plans were drawn and the
first waterways delegates assembled
to talk them over. The project is
yearly acquiring more strength, and
enlisted in its campaign are the most
progressive and thoughtful men in
Florida. The Atlantic cOastline canal
now being debated at Norfolk must.
in the natural course of things, come
first; but the peninsula canal is not
many years away. Its digging would
mean much TO Florida, as well as to
sections of the country which would
be brought closer together by this air
line route across the peninsula from
New Orleans TO the Atlantic. Pensa-
cola Is going 10 entertain the next
meeting of the Mississippi-Atlantic
waterway men.

Cargo for both ships is pilins up in

of railroad iron from Ensley to Pen

amply sufficient to accommodate all

Premiums Should
Be Paid.

- ~~A@e
We agree with the Tampa Tribune
and the Tampa Times that the boarL
of state institutions should pay the
awards due the winners of premiums
at the last two state fairs /. it can
possibly raise the money.
The attitude of the board is, to say
the least, peculiar. 1t does not for d
moment deny the justice of the obliga
ton OF that it should long ago have
been discharged. yet the winners O.
premiums in 1908 and 1909 are still,
waiting for their checks. This ough,
not so to be.
The people that make displays
fairs in competition for prizes brin
their exhibits in good faith, often at
considerable outlay of time and none.
Particularly is this true of a state fail
which draws its exhibitors as well a
its patrons from a wide territory
Many of the exhibitors, we presume
are poor people, to whom the smal
sum due in the form of awards woulC
be a considerable monetary help. L
is by no means creditable to the wild,
awake and generally honest state OF
Florida that these people should be
kept waiting a year or two for the
few dollars they have won at the
Florida state fair.
These state fairs, it never has been
questioned, are an institution tremen-
dously beneficial to the whole of Flor
ida. Even from the narrow CONNER
cial standpoint-and we hate to think
that any member of the board could
view the situation through this purely
selfish, material argument-the state
cannot afford to keep the successful
exhibitors waiting. The fairs bring in
new settlers, new business, new capt.
tai, new earners and spenders to be
added to the permanent population Of
Florida. But this result will not con-
tinue if it becomes generally known
outside the state, as it now is pretty
generally known inside the state, that
the winner OF a state fair prize works
for glory and not for gTeenbacks.
When a member of the governors
cabinet was asked to explain the
failure to settle the 1908 and 1909 pre-
MUM awards, he said:
With regard to your inquiry as to
the fair certificates, you will have to
make the inquiry of someone who is
more of a prophet than l am. The
payment of these premiums is depend
ent, under the statutes, upon the GER
tificate Of the board of state institu-
lions that there are sufficient funds
in the state treasury, in the general
revenue fund, ever and above the
amount required to defray the current
expenses OF the state government and
of the schools. There is not such an
amount at present, and l am unable
to predict when there will be-
Rather a f1imsy technicality, that,
for rullifying, in large measure, the
benefits that would naturally flow
from one of the best state fairs in the
South. Le board ought to devise
some way to get around it. Other
wise. another years fair will witness
a large falling off in the quantity of
exhibits and also in the number of ex-
hibitors. And the gate receipts, too,
will fall off when the slim exhibition
halls are noised about.
The Journal hopes the board may
see the logic of paying these awards
of the past two years, for the sake of
the money it will eventually mean to
