the movement of population has been
largely, up to this time, westward un-
til the country west of the Alleghenies,
across the great Mississippi valley, has
been thicllly populated. The desirable
lands have been all taken and values
have increased until to get holdings in
settled community, for farming and ag-
ricultural pursuits, even to the far Pa
cifc seaboard, requires considerable
amount of cash for the initial land in
vestment, aside from it's preparation for
tillage, necessary buildings, equipment,
stock, etc.
The South's Opportunities.
This situation is now being universally
recognized, and people are looking south
ward for opportunities upon the soil,
new commercial and industrial enter
prises in the upbuilding of communities,
the building of towns and cities. Intel
ligence, wealth and enterprise are coming
hand i'll hand with great rapidity into
this marvelously rich section of the
United States In the pressing westward
over the vast and wide territory, from
the Alleghenies to the Pacific, the very
substantial material interests of the
South have been somewhat overlooked.
1t has grown steadily, however, and to-
day it has the attention of the nation as
place of future opportunities for money
making, the building of homes and all
that can be desired in business and social
life and relations.
Florida.
Unique among the States of the South
and containing a variety of attractions,
advantages and charms that are pecu-
liarly and exclusively her own, is the
State of Florida. It is the oldest section
of the United States and rich in history.

tic State of the nation, in it's beauty
of climate and sunshine, it's semi -tropic-
al foliage, the grandeur of it's blending
of landscape and water, it is first in the
South as place to be desired as a place
of business and residence. The peninsu-
la of Florida is the most misunderstood
place in the United States. While filled
during the winter with tourists and
pleasure seekers who enjoy the delights
of its unsurpassable winter climate, it
is generally imagined that Florida being
SO comparatively warm in the winter is
lntolerably hot in the summer. when the
tact is, it has one of the most DELIGHTFUL
summer climates in the world. The
peninsula of Florida extends about 500
miles from the mainland southwark. On
the east is the Atlantic ocean. on the
west the Gulf of Mexico. During the en-
tire summer, the peninsula is swept bv
cooling breezes and the nights are uni
formly cool. Compared with the general

size of Jacksonville, has as splendid and
as good transportation facilities Jack
sonville is the gateway to the Florida
peninsula. and from 100000 to 100000
people pass through the city going North

ii is the cleanest, handsomest and

The New York of the South.
There is remarkable similarity In the
geographical location Of jacksonville and
New York, and these same relations,
with their land and water transportation,
are bound to do for Jacksonville in the
South, what they, have done for New
York in the North. Jacksonville is the
'New York of the South.'' They are
both on the great Atlantic seaboard, with
it's ocean highways direct to the vast
trade of Great Britain and continental
Europe. But Jacksonville has the ad-
vantage of lying near the entrance of the
Panama canal, the gateway between the
Atlantic and Pacific, placing Jacksonville
over 1000 miles nearer the vast trade of
Mexico and the wealthy and prosperous
countries of South America. Australia
and the Orient, than New York This
new world situation is destined to make
Jacksonville the great central storehouse
and distributing point for all staple
food stuffs, Industrial products and man
ufactured articles of the world, for dis
trlbutlon by ocean traffic to the east
coast of South America and the splendid
islands of the West Atlantic, through
the Panama canal to the entire western
coast of the Western Hemisphere and
across the Pacific to all the Orient and
Australia When the Panama canal has
hnI Tod I
Pacific oceans, Jacksonville will at once
come in touch with the Orient and the
tremendous populations therein, and will
profit more than any other city in the
world by the vast commercial develop
ments that must ensue. The Panama
canal is the most remarkable develop
ment of the worlds history, in relation
to the worlds commerce. Tt will largely
affect the routes of the many thousands
of ships and vessels employed in interna-
tional shipping, and give the United
States absolute mastery in the worlds
naval strategy and movements, both in
times of peace and war. This is destined
to make Florida and Jacksonville take
new and most important place in ma
tional and international affairs. More
over, the Hudson river runs from New
York north to Albany, about $50 miles,
while the broad and placid St. Johns ex-
tends from Jacksonville south to San
ford, about 200 miles, with regular
steamer service, and the upper st. Johns
continues southeast to Rockledge, OH
the east coast, about eighty miles far
ther. This upper river is navigable to
lighter craft. So Jacksonville, as New
York, rests upon the proper inland stu
alton of majestic river, a great world
port, and splendid river harbor in touch
with the commerce of all the world, the
queen city of the South, without rival
in broad domain of our national and
international trade, by right of her nat
ual position, exclusively her own.

Let Him Alone.

An inquisitive paper wants to know
ii president Taft isn't a trife too
fond of sports for the occupant of the
highest position in the gift of the
American people." Let the President
alone. He wants to succeed himself
and it is important to conciiiate the
sporting element, which represent a
considerable portion of the voting pop
u alton. He wants to make himself
solid. 1t is happy faculty where one
can adapt himself to the company he
is in. If the President can run with

Taft or Aldrich.

Between William H. Taft and Nell
son W. AIdrich there ought 20 be an ir-
repressible conflict. says the New
York World.
Judged by their records the two men
have little in common politically ex-
cept the name, Republican" Mr..
Taft is by nature a moderate radical.
Mr.. Aldrich's tendencies are all tory.
He is firm behave in the supremacy
of vested rights, in government by
property and in the rule of the weak
by the strong.
Mr. Aldrich represents the corpora
ton, Wall street element in the Re-
publican party, and represents it very
ably and skiIlfuIly. Mr.. Taft is sup
posed to represent the progressive ele-
ment that has ideals and altruistic pur-
poses. Mr.. Taft could not have been
elected as an Aldrich Republican. and
had Mr.. Aldrich controlled the Repub-
Iican organization Mr.. Taft would not
have been nominated.
ORe of these cwo men is going to
shape the policies Of the Republican
party during the present Administra-
ton. If AIdrichism triumphs in the
revision of the tariff, it is safe to as
sumo that AIdrichism will be the guild
ing principle during Mr. Taft entire
term. for if the President surrenders to
the reactlonaries now, there is no rea-
son in particular why he should frame
a declaration of independence at some
time in the future.
There is no satisfactory basis of COM
promise between the things Mr.. Taft
stands for in the popular mind and the
things Mr.. Aldricn stands for The
President has never displayed great
technical knowledge Of the tariff ques-
ton; but ne has always shown keen
appreciation of the difference between
right and wrong, between good faith
and bad faith. between popular govern
ment and plutorcacy. This appreciation
will not avail much to the public bene-
lift, however. unless it is presented in
! concrete form.
Aldrichism cannot triumph unless
Mr.. Taft permits. 1t is he, not Mr..
Aldrich, who is Pres dent Of the United
States. 1t is he, not Mr. AIdrich,
whom the people of the United States
have clothed with power and who they
will justly hold responsible for the
breaking of pledges or the reputation
of promises. This is no longer COM
fict Of schedules bat of principles, and
Mr.. Taft is mistaken ii, he thinks that
as President he can stand serenely
aside, as an impartial spectator to the
conflict.
