THOSE TO WHOM
THE CREDIT BELONGS
Key West Citizen.


Every one in Key West knows that
when the recent panic throughout the
country was causing the failure of in
situations generations old and thought
to be as solid as the country itself,
that Key West weathered the finan-
cial gale without a single failure and
but for the narrowing reports coming
to us through the newspapers from
the large cities there was but little
evidence of the great stTingency.
Today, when the storm has passed
and the skies are clearer than ever
before, we can tell you why it was
that the wheels of trade kept in con-
slant motion in Key West. 1t will be
remembered that great praise was ac-
corded Morgan and other magnates OF
finance for throwing millions of dol
lars into the breach and saving the
country, and the same praise is due
some of the merchants of Key West
for heroic action at the proper time
When the news of the failures OF
some of the cOuntry's greatest insti-
buttons began coming here in the
newspapers, some of the more timid
citizens began at once to withdraw
their money from the banks and for
time it looked as if Key West would
share in the calamity that was sweep
But at this time Mr.. George Waite,
president Of one of the banks, and
one OF our largest merchants, reaIiz-
ing that heroic action was necessary,
threw his whole stock on the market,
sacrificing profits, in many cases ig-
nOTing cost marks, and as the result
of judicious and appealing advertis-
ing, thousands of dollars that were
boarded were cOaxed back into cir
culation and helped strengthen our
financial institutions
Other merchants saw the benefits
of the plan and the people of Key
West Will remember that such a cam
paign of advertising was never before
Witnessed in this city. AS a conse-
quence the money withdrawn from
the banks and thousands of dollars
that had not seen the light of day for
many years were coaxed from their
hiding places and the bank deposits
in Key West grew larger while in
nearly every community in the Unit
ed States they were shrinking.
In giving due credit to the men who
saved the situation in Key West we
cannot refrain from pointing the OBJ
ject lesson Of this campaign. If, dur
ing the panic the merchants had re
trenched in their advertising ex-
peHSeS, idlu On InelF clerks anu re-
duced expenses commensurate with
the outlook, the result would have
been very disastrous for Key West.
What the united action of these
merchants did for the city, individual
action can do for any store The dol
lars that are not coming your way
must be coaxed and if a sacrifice of
profit is necessary to turn the tide,
why let the goods grow musty on the
shelves when they might be turned
into CASH.

Florida Has Made
An Excellent Start.

In the last number of the Manufac-
turers' Record. of Baltimore, appears
an interesting article by Joseph Hyde
Pratt, state geologist of North Caro-
lima, on the subject of good roads
throughout the south. The subject
is one Of especial concern to Florida
where the possession of hard roads
is perhaps of greater Importance than
in any other Of the states covered by
Nj Hyde's Investigations.
To know how comparatively little
has been accomplished toward the
Improvement OF highways in these
states it is only necessary to mention
the fact that of 51S.S30 miles of PUBLIC
roads only 1880 have been surfaced
with any sort Of material to produce
smooth and easily traversed highways.
IL other words only about three and
one-half per cent of the roads in the
south are hard roads and Mt for the
hauling of loads at minimum cost TO

WHICH is THE WAY

wish so much to know.
Is it the lang of sleet and snow
Or the land where the flowers grow?
Or, in another sense,
Is 1t the land of perseverance and
strength;
OF forgiveness and allegiance to duty,
Is that the land of happiness and
beauty?
Methinks tbs a very hard land to
reach
Yet, is there one, VINO does not wish
there, some day to sleep?
And should we expect, in this life, all
sunshine and pleasure,
With no thought of sorrow or cloudy
weather?
Nay, We should not,
But rather, should be content with
our lot;
And, with our utmost effort, should
strive
To overcome the difficulties which
around us thrive.
For our SORROWS often make men
of us all
The weakest become the strongest,
And lift up the slain;
And thus our loss becomes our gain.

say nothing as to their use for car
riages, automobiles and other vehicles
employed in many ways for both bus
mess and pleasure
1t is gratifying, however, to note
that Florida occupies a comparatively
high place in the list OF states. It's
total length of public roads is but
1874 miles, yet 1,O1O miles, nearly 9
per cent of this length, have been i'm
proved. Alabama has 5O,0S9 miles
with only 1000, less than per cent,

with but 1000, or 5 $40 per cent i'm
proved; while Louisiana has 24,897
niles, with the wretched showing of
only 20 miles, about three-tenths of
one per cent improved. In fact only
two of the states, Maryland and
Tennessee, outclass Florida, with re-
sFect to the length of hard roads re
garded as a per centage of the total
mileage
The knowledge of this will be en-
cOuraging to all interested in the
road problem in our splendid peninsu-
lar state. 1t should, however, be pro-
ductive of but one result-the deter
mination to keep up the good work
so well commenced; for it is apparent
that only a beginning has been made

Overwhelming Response to
Municipal Advertising.

II pays individuals, it pays business
enterprises, it pays public utilities, it
pays cities, it pays counties, it pays
states to advertise and to keep on ad-
vertising. The world has grown ac-
customed to that sort of thing. 1t no
longer goes out in search of a thing.
1t looks in a newspaper. a magazine
or some publication to find where it
is and then travels straight in its di-'
rection at the rate Of sixty or more
miles an hour.
The Journal notes the following in
the Ocala Star which escaped our OBJ
servation when it first appeared in the
Jacksonville Times Union:
We see by the Jacksonville Times
Union that the big ad. that city placed
in the New York and Chicago papers
about Jacksonville. which cost $12,-
900. created such inquiries about that
city's physical and material condition
that the board of trade, under whose
auspices it was done, has been over
whelmed- Secretary Richardson in
order to have all inquiries properly
answered, has called on all the real
estate men in the city, to whom the
was distributed, that
justice might be done the important
matter. The indications are that
Jacksonville will reap a big harvest
of new corners and investors by that
business stroke.
Certain timid Pensacoliars may
shudder and exclaim: Twelve thou
sand dollars! My. that is an awful
lot of money" 1t is a whole lot,
big wad." But what of that? Jack
sonvilIe had it to spare. Every city
in Florida has it to spare. And SUD-
pose the twelve thousand comes back
in five years with about ten thousand
per cent. profit added to it? Would
not such an investment be a discreet
one? Would it not be such an advan-
tageous one as to warrant good deal
of scrimping and economical living in
order to be able to make it?
Much money cannot be made with
out spending money. A man, a bust
ness, city may go on earning liv-
ing year by year without making a
venture. But such an existence IS
very sordid and very tiresome and
utterly out of whack with the pro-
gressive spirit of the age To spring
forward in the race for wealth anu
prominence and power the heart must
open and the hand be free. Money
must be spent-perchance a great
deal of money. But the result is as
certain as the rising of the sun. 1t
will more than satisfy the fondest
hopes.
Jacksonville's twelve thousand dol
lars used to advertise its advantages
and attractions has already com
menced it's beneficent work. How
great the ultimate blessing will prove
no man may prophesy; but it is safe
to predict that it will far exceed the
expectation of the projectors of the
plan. And what will be with respect
to the Gateway of Florida in response
to the public spirit of its citizens will
likewise accrue to Florida's unrivaIIed
port, its Deep Water City, and to any
other city in this fertile and indus
trious state which Will take the bull
by the horns, consent to open its
purse strings and go to the farthest
limit in judicious advertising.
