"NOATTRACTIONISSO STRONG
AS ACTUAL DEMONSTRATION"
By John Thos. Porter

Let me tell you; every time ne

riddled with bullets or hung, every
land agent, and even every railroad
having a, line reac ching the far west,
or into Arizona or the DakOtas, gains
a thousand new settlers that should
be sent into our southland.
One Of your most noted speakers
in late chautauquas that we have at

question in the south" Would 10

There is but one way to settle the
race question: and that way is 70

white race. Stop the foolish idea that
we will have none but the best It
is shame to our boosted civilization
that we cannot assimilate such n
molly lot as are coming from all over
Europe" Every state OF the north
west has "assimiIated" them, and we
of the south can "assimilate" them as
well. The fact is, they assimilate
themselves, or our glorious Tree
schools assimiiate the children OF the
first generation.
The writer has watched this assimi-

the past fifty years, and wishes our
southern people could see how rapid

level up will settle down in the final
analysis.
One other fact is known to the
writer. and that is that no man can

indebted TO the cosmopolitan charac-
ter of their citizenship.

=. =. Regular Weekly BNLIeffn =. -.

Mayor Reilly has been asked by the
board Of directors to see that the pO-
lice properly enforce against the
Louisville and Nashville railroad the
local ordinances regarding f1agmen,
etc. The directors make complaint
that such obedience as Is rendered
the law is not in the spirit OF manner
to give the public the protection and
safety to which the public is entitled,
and that in some respects the Ordi-
nances are not observed at all. The
board regards the ordinances IN
question as being entirely reasonable
and practicable, and asks that they be
strictly enforced.
The request of President Fletcher
and Secretary Henderson of the Mis-
sissippi to Atlantic Inland Waterway
that the secretary of the chamber
visit Birmingham, Montgomery, Mo-
bile and New Orleans in the interest
of the association, was reported by
Secretary Waterman without recon-
mendatipn, and denied by the board.
This is due to no lack of desire to
promote the inland waterway cause,
but because it is believed that the
time is especially ripe for persistent
work at home. More than one matter
of Importance and good promise re-
quiFes careful attention, and the d.
reCtors see many signs on every hand
Of that spirit OF progress which in
viteS the hearty attention Of those
whose duty or inclination is to crys-
talliZe the new spirit in Pensacola
into definite steps for the general
welfare. 1t is felt that whatever the
secretary might do il efforts can be
attempted at home under especially
promising conditions just now, and
that the prospects of good results in
matters of immediate Importance re-
quire him, on returning from vaca-
ton of two weeks, to concentrate his
efforts as the paid executive of the
chamber on matters of special local
importance at a time when the gen.
eral spirit of the people indicates that
any and every effort for the general
good will have general support.
