FLORIDA'S "BOOZER" AS
VIEWED IN ALABAMA
Montgomery (Ala.) Journal.


Florida has a "BOOzer'-Dr. J. c..
BCozeT, Of OcaIa-and it may be said
there is nothing in a name. In fact
Florida likes this Boozer pretty well
and wants more of him.
The Pensacola Journal is especially
delighted with its brand of Boozer,
and while disclaiming that it has
abandoned the path of temperance
and plunged into the vortex of hateful
dissipation" it thinks that the exam
pie set by Dr. BOOZeT of its state is a
splendid one, and it prints and COM
mendS an article from its Marion
county contemporary concerning the
good work of Dr. BOOZer- 1t quotes:
DR. J. C BOOzeT, who has for the
past few years been an enthusiast on
the subject Of improving the farm
products Of Marion county. now has
on exhibition at the Commercial Bank
three large frames. containing. be-
sides his splendid offers for corn ex-
hibitS, a lot of gold coins Each frame
makes a separate exhibit of the
amount Of gold he proposes to give to
the farmer boy who makes the best
exhibit of corn grown from the seed,
100 grains, furnished by hiul in the
early spring
The first is a fifty dollar outfit.
This is to be given to the boy who
brings to the Marion county fair the
best fifty ears of corn grown from the
seed furnished by him The third is
fifteen dollars, to be awarded to the
boy producing the largest yield from
the 100 grains furnished by him in
the spring.
These prizes are to be awarded
extra at the fair this fall. and the con-
testants viii have an opportunity OF
winning one Of the many other pre-
miums offered by the fair association
DR.. Boozer has framed his offers in an
attractive way. and as a token OF
good faith shows the real thing in
the way Of gold coins, which are to be

A Good Example to
Be Set Near Miami.

If faith is justified by works, and
they say it is, Richard BOlIes, of New
Mexico, took the palm from a purely
material point of view when he in
vested in a million acres in the Ever
glades. Mr.. BOlles is convinced that
his purchase was a wise one, as evil
denced by a recent interview given
the Miami Metropolis.
But the proposal Of the gentleman
to establish on certain acres of the
already reclaimed land an exhibition
farm to show what may be raised
from Everglade soil is of especial in
terest to The Journal and should also
arouse the attention of Escambfa
cOunty's people and officials.
That this w1de-awake capitalist has
seen the value of such a farm to ad-
veTtise his east coast purchase should
prove an incentive to those owning or
renting land in other sections of the
state, including West Florida and this
county, to advocate the establishment
of permanent farms to afford an i'm
mediate exhibition of agricultural pos
sibiltties.
In the course of the interview, the
Metropolis published the following:
Mr.. Bolles was told that the people
or Miami were anxious that demon
stratiOn farm should be opened in the
Everglades for the purpose of show
ing the visitors to Miami Just what
could be done on Everglades soil.
The Waldin farm on the edge of the
glades was used. as he knew, to show
the possibilities OF the soil and the
climate, but a demand had arisen for
demonstration within easy reach or
Miami of what might be done on Fy-
erglades lands. That such 4 farm
would lnstu faith in the project and
aIlay doubts as to the productivity of
the Everglades soil there could be no
doubt, and the early establishment Of
a place for the purpose of making
such an exhibition would be an ad-
vertisement OF value almost incaIcu-
liable. Mr.. BOlles said that plans had
already been made for such a farm.
Mr.. Walter Waldin. he saws, owns
land in the Everglades. not very far
from town, and he understood if TO
be his purpose to plant such a farm
on this land in the fall. It would he
growing by winter and III the course
Of a short time would afford the kind
of object lesson that was demanded
by the skeptics.
What is said in the above Is Just as
applicable to the fertile land around
Pensacola as it is to the section It is
applied to. That Escambfan soil
when scientifically cultivated, is ready
to yield every variety of plant life
from the produce of the truck farm
to the staple crops Of grain and cot
ton We have immediate proof within
some miles of Pensacola where the
investigator may see these crops
growing luXuriOUsly. but. of course,
widely separated and not presented
in the compact form suited to inform
the visiting investor and home
seeker.
The Journal would, then, reiterate
its suggestion to the county commits
sioners TO take up, without delay, the

This work is along the same line as
that of Commissioner of Agriculture
Wilkinson, of Alabama, and of PTesi-
dent Seymour of the Southern Cotton
Association, each Of whom has Offered
prizes for the best yields of corn or

AlabImians was to stimulate the
farmers and farmers boys and en-

Both Commissioner Wilkinson anC

When the reports are all in, telling
what farmers have done in the way
of competing for these prizes some

heads to do it.
That was thoughtful act of DIT.
BOOzer, of Florida, and we have no
doubt he will get happy results,
though his prizes are not so large as
those of Commissioner Wilkinson and
President Seymour, in this state. The
success Of the movement of the lat
ter IS already assured beyond the
fondest dreams of those who fathered
and originated it.

The unfortunate part of the finding
Of the court Of inquiry in the Sutton
case is that a vast number OF the
people of the country will not be
satisfied with it. Closed doors in jul
dicial. proceedings are not to the Iik-
ing of free Americans whose ancestors
established the republic to escape
everything in the shape of tyranny,
the chief agent of which is secrecy,
and to have the transactions of all the
departments of the government open
and above board.

A Suggestion Worth
PensacoIa's Attention.

The Journals attention has been
attracted by the following suggestion
of the Tampa Tribune:
Why shouldn't Florida be the winter
Mecca of the aviators, the gathering
place Of the worlds leading flyers?
Why not in this state, where all con-
ditions are ideal, an annual meeting
and tournament OF the daring pioneers
who are perfecting, day by day, the
practical phases Of aerial navigation?
The automobilists and the horsemen
have turned to Florida as the ideal
spot for their winter exercises and
contests. They have found conditions
here as near perfect as is possible on
earth. The ayiatOTs would experience
equal satisfaction. France in August
and Florida in February-the head
quarters for the pilots of the air.
Why not open up a line Of endeavOr
in this direction? What progressive
agency or city will take the initiative2
Considering the fact that Tampa
has not the reputation for extreme
modesty in claiming things" our
only wonder is that the Tribune did
not adopt its suggestion for the south
cellent one and if carried out would
just at this time, while the attention
Of the world is particularly centered
on the study and hOped-for solution
of the problem of air navigation, prove
a great advertisement for the state
and for the city at which competitive
tests of airships and aeropIanes might
take place.
The popularity of Florida's east
coast is largely due to the automobile
races instituted some years ago over
the beautiful level beach which ex-
tends from Ormond to Daytona. These
races attracted thousands from other
sections of the country and while
originally bent on no object but to
view them or to participate in them
the natural beauties and advantages
OF our great peninsuIar state COM
PEELED the attention and won the ad-
miration of those visitors with the
result that many permanent settlers
came while oilers make Florida. espe-
lar winter residence.
The splendid east coast beach is no
better suited to auto racing than is
the calm, salubrious winter climate oil
the state, from one end of it to the
other. TO the operation of every kind
of flying machine. And the adapt
ability of the entire peninsula to those
operations is cOnspicuOusly increased
by the absence of high elevations.
the presence of broad. level tracts OF
land which will permit uninterrupted
flights at any height.
The Tribune's suggestion is an ad-
mirabIe one and there should be no
difficulty in securing a progressive
agency or city to take the initia-
tive" And as it appears that Tampa
strangely lacks the spirit of progress,
so far as things aerial are concerned
"a fact which is strongly incompatf-
BILE with its past record-it may be
that Pensacola brains and capital Will
take the matter in hand and work il
out to a successful finish.

The directors of the proposed Tri-
County Fair have proceeded thus far
with their arrangements for the
promising West Florida affair without
making a single mistake. so far as
the Tribune, at this distance from the

stroke of real business genius, has
been made in the selection Of the gen

Campbell urging him to summon the
