BUILDING UP FLORIDA

Reviewing Mr.. Ingraham's article,
giving a detailed and graphic account
of Mr.. Flaglers efforts for Florida,
the Baltimore Manufacturers Record
says:
within ten years the east coast of
Florida will have a larger population
than that of the entire state at pres
emit"
Such was the prediction of lead
ing railroad official and banker one
day last winter after he had for the
first time made a careful personal in
vestigation of the great work which
Mr.. Flagler has for years been doing
in the development of the territory
tributary to the East Coast railroad.
Like many others who had not studied
the situation personally, he had been
somewhat skeptical about the future
of the East Coast line, and had re-
warded that wonderful piece of engi-
neering by which the road is being ex-
tended to Key West as a magnificent
piece of financial and engineering dar-
ing rather than as a sound business
proposition, based on well studied out
conditions. After this railroad official
and banker had seen for himself the
remarkable development of orange
and grapefruit and pineapple growing,
the advance that is being made in
trucking, the attractions of the coun-
try as a winter resort, and the great
possibilities for travel and traffic be-
tween the United States and the West
Indies and Central and South America
via the East Coast line to Key West,
his opinion changed, and he freely ex-
pressed his belief that this great
work of Mr.. Flagler is already an as
sured financial and business success.
And it was then, as he studied the
great work which the East Coast Rail-
road Company is doing in making
huOWn the dIJTdCIlOuS VI JLhdI SeCllOn
for settlers as well as for winter tour
lists, that he expressed the belief quot
ed at the beginning of this article.
Elsewhere in this issue is a story
written by Mr.. J. E. Ingraham, vice
president of the FLORIDA East Coast
railroad, about the work of Mr.. Flag
Ter in the development of that line,
and incidentally in connection there
with the development of Florida. No
other man in Florida or elsewhere has
been in so good a position as M. In
graham to write such a story. Iden-
titled for many years with every de-
partment of Mr.. Flaglers Florida
work. and his active agent in carry
ing out many Of the undertakings
planned and financed by him, Mr.. In
graham has done a public service in
giving a detailed history of the work

SUCH A LAW NEEDED

Notwithstanding the fact that many
freak bills were passed at Tallahas-
see, not one was introduced for the
inspection of hotel and boarding house
kitchens, some of which are said TO be
a disgrace to civilization. A hotel
keeper in a western state was fined
for violation of the law against main
tanning an unsanitary kitchen and
sleeping rooms that lack proper ven-
tilation. The feature of greatest in
terest in this report is the curiosity it
is certain to awaken among those who
have travelled extensively in the west
to know if there really is such a law
In that state, and why it has never
been invoked before-East Coast Ad-
vocate.

so LONG, MARY

We do not believe the capital of
Florida will ever be removed from
Tallahassee, nor do we believe that
the matter will be submitted to the
people again during the present gen.
GRAFTON, but when these agitators get
to telling the dear people of what a
hardship it is for the people of south
Florida to reach the capital of the
state they shauld remember that it
is two hundred and three miles from
the Deep Water City to the capital
now, and if it is removed to Jackson
vile, it will be carrying it just one
hundred and sixty miles further If
south Florida is so anxious to get rid
of west Florida and will demonstrate
that willingness by proper legislation,
we believe that nearby state would
only be too glad to annex this terri
tory, and accord to it such political
and commercial rights as it has never
enjoyed under the state government
of Florida.-Pensacola News.

when it assumes that south Florida
wants to get rid of west Florida be-

political and commercial rights could
Pensacola have, pray, as a part of Al

of Florida?

LOCAL OPTION GIVEN BIG CLUB.
Penitentiary Awaits Man Selling
Liquor In Dry Territory.

Austin, Texas, April 16.-It is now
a penitentiary offense to sell intoxi-
eating liquors in a local option district
in Texas, and upon conviction the Of
fender shall be sentenced to from two
to five years confinement in the state
prison. The governor yesterday after
noon signed the bill passed during
the last extra session which prescribes
this severe punishment. This is con-
ceded to be the most drastic local OPP
ton law which has yet been devised
and is calculated to make the most
daring pause and take notice before
selling liquor in local option precincts
in this state This act does not pro-
vide any fine in lieu of the peniten-
tiary sentence and leaves no option
with the court, except the jury may
give the guilty party the maximum
or minimum penalty. The bill car
ries the emergency clause, consequent
ly went into immediate effect.
The governor also approved the bill

THE TRUSTING LITTLE ONE.

Who is it frets because the way is
hard,
Who speaks of burdens he is forced
to bear?
Who signs because his path is often
barred,
And longs for pleasures he may
never share?
No lisping child is glad to run
To meet him when the trying day is
done.
Who mumbles curses at the rich and
proud,
And enviously Graves what they pos
sess?
Who fretting mfngles with the busy
crowd.
A stranger to good will and happf-
ness?
No eager child with footsteps light
Runs forth to claim his dear caress at
9ht.
His task is never hard who thinks all
day
Of gladness he is able to provide;
He seldom signs, however steep the
way.
If love has made him strong and
stirred his pride
If honestly his best be done
Because of some dear, trusting little
one.
