it is merged in the great ocean of
industries. 49,.
Responsibilities Great.
With an industry of this magnitude
and greatness. the responsibilities
are correspondingly great. The gues:
ton is, What will You do with your
responsibilities? How will you meet
them? VIII you rise to the Occa-
sion? Will YOU meet the conditions
which face you? How should you
meet them? Let me suggest.
First. Conserve your timber. Don't
ask the turpentine operator what was
his output last month or last year.
Ask him what is the size of the small
est tree that he allows to be cut for
turpentine purposes. Don't let the
temptations of present profit over
shadow the demands Of your future
and that Of the coming generations.
Remember, yor are not originating a
wealth-producing product: you are
only converting into wealth a raw
material which you may destroy in
the converting.
Second. Reforest your cut-over
lands. Plant and replant the native
needle pine - 1t will grow. 1t has
grown. [ believe it is possible to re-
cover cut-over lands, especially in the
southern part of the state, with the
eucalyptus tree. Experiments are be-
ing made which ] hope and believe
will prove this to be q practical plan.
It is worth while.
Third. The members of this as
sociation own millions of acres of
land in the state. What are you go
ing to do with these lands when you
have exhausted them for naval stores
and when the timber has been clear
ed from them? They are a rich heri-
tage.-Do not sell your birthright and
that OF your children for a mess of
pottage. Do not sell them to unre-
liable land schemers and colonization
frauds. Not all the companies who
are selling lands in Florida are bad;
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1910-11-20


many Of them are bringing into the
state good people who are making
good citizens. But scrutinize most
carefully those to whom YOU sell.
Sell Direct to Settlers.
If you sell these lands. sell them
direct to the settlers. Get the $50
to $50 an acre for yourself which they
are paying for it. and don't let them
go for So or 81 an acre to these
schemers whose only interest in the
state is the money they can get from
it's acres. Don't sell to dishonest
spectators. Sell the settlers.
Florida today is attracting more at
tention than ever before In the Of
fee of the state commissioner of agri-
culture there come every day from
sixty to 125 inquiries about Florida
and her resources, asking about al
most every conceivable subject. And
this interest is increasing.
1t is in your power to determine
largely the class of settlers that shall
inhabit these lands. Let your asso-
citation furnish these people with
land direct at fair and reasonab BILE
prices Pay, il you choose, a rea-
sonable commission to reliable sales
men, but hold to your prices and to
your recommendations as to what
shall he the size of the farm in Flor
ida ard what the Florida farm shall
represent.

40 miles above Beaufort where his
boat underwent the necessary repairs.
Not only was the craft in bad shape,
but having been out for two weeks,
provisions had run low and those on
board had scarcely nothing to eat the
last few days on the water. Having
had his mail containing checks for.
warded to him at Charleston. s. c.,
Captain Vitous and crew had to de-
pend upon the generosity of the peo-
pie OF the community and the fisher
men for something to eat. He spoke
in very high praise of those who had
befriended him on the trip, the names
of each having been carefully placed
in his memorandum book for future
reference.
Kindly Received.

nus will leave Tuesday morning for
Charleston S. c., and thence to Jack

would very likely secure larger boat

miles, having made a wager with
some of his friends that a boat Of the
size and power could easily make a
voyage of the kind with perfect safe

wager, Captain Vitous IS to receive
$4,000 and all his expenses if he sue
ceeds in landing his boat at Jackson

trip is to be borne by him. Notwith-
standing the bad weather and the
several accidents to the craft, Captain

eight weeks, continuing the journey

proach Of the tropical storm. Cap

THE PALISADES PARK BILLBOARD.

ID ALlsADEs PARK should be kept entirely free from adver-
IS Using signs. The Palisades Park Commission will use all its
power to prevent the Disagreement, but it cannot forbid
signs on private property. A professional association of residents
along the Palisades can, however, do effective work in that dnec-
ton. Evidently it was not without the knowledge of members
of the association that three large advertising signs were cut down
and converted into kindling wood early on Saturday morning. That
was a shorter and surer method of getting rid of the nuisance than
taking the billboard owners into court. When it is understood that
there is a resolute purpose to destroy every billboard that may be
placed along the Palisades nobody will care to erect one.

of at a city one-seventh the size. Press
dispatches say that there were l5,0oO
people in the tent at the time, while
police and others estimate that the tent
during the show here contained 10000 at
the very least. The tent was calculated
to seat 5000, and there were at Schen-
ectady 5000 vacant seats and a clear
centre, while everybody who was 4at
the show in Newark knows that the
only people who saw it at all were the
policemen and lucky ones who crowded
to the ringsides.
That a panic is probable in case of
fire, that a fire is possible in "a circus

children were packed in one standing

ONE THING OR ANOTHER.

Four days have passed and been
mingled and mixed with the p>st,
and not a single one of those sixty
diners who were frightened from a
Chicago restaurant by an alarm
of fire have returned to pay their
bill.
1t is rather difficult to decide
whether this distressing situation
is a proof of the timidity or the
dishonesty of the average Chicago
citizen. The diners may think the
restaurant is still burning.
On the charitable other hand, is it
not possible they seized this oppor-
tunity of getting back at an estab-
lishment wherein they had been con-
sistently robbed?

4 SOUTH JERSEY ENDORSEMENT FOR LEWIS.

X IVAN NJ. LEWIS goes tonight to the other extreme of the
w State to receive the initial Endorsement of his candidacy
for Governor by the regular Republican cohorts in South
Jersey. Atlantic county begins a series of party Endorsements of his
candidacy that will bring him into the desired prominence before the
party primaries in September. Whether Lewis will deem 1T neces-
sary to make a personal canvass of the State besides receiving these
Endorsements will probably depend upon the activity of William Par
menter Martin, the prospective Progressive candidate for Governor
If Martin goes right out and makes the welkin ring during the sum-
mer Lewis will undoubtedly take the stump. -

THE RAILROAD BILL THIS WEEK.

eTa HE railroad bill will probably be disposed of by the Senate this
week. Much depends on the statehood hill. Ii the Aldrlch
senators shall attempt to block the passage of this measure,
as has been threatened, the Democratic senator's will promptly
obstruct the railroad bill. and under Senate rules they can hold it
I'M indefinitely. The statehood bill is on the administration pro-
cram hut the realization that the two new States to be admitted
are likely to elect radical or Democratic United States senators is
enough to make Aldich antagonistic to it. Nor would the Rhode
Island senator be utterly disheartened If the railroad bill, in the
shape it is now, should go by the board.

II VAST SCHEME OF BUILDING AMI LOAN.

cro HERE arr $500 affiliated building and loan associations IN the
United States, with %$s00O0O,00O of assets and a total mem
bership of about two millions. The national convention OF
the National League of Associations, to be held at Charlotte, ;. Con
Wednesday, will therefore be a splendidly representative BODY. New
jersey stands fourth among the States in the number OF It's assoe1a-
tons and third in it's assets and membership, being preceded only
by Pennsylvania and Ohio, both of which States nave a much larger
population than New Jersey. In proportion TO popula'ioh' .he
number of associations, the membership and the value of the assets
of building and loan associations in our State are much greater than
in any other State in the United States. Ii Is highly U ~ cfe"' Vi
New Jersey that such a showing can be made by it, Building and
loan is the best form of savings investment, for it makes home
steads and the good citizenship that belongs to the homestead. 1t
helps to build up cities and towns and to give them a permanent
resident population of the most useful and desirable class. All these
great results are accomplished by the simple process of cooperation,
without any aid from the State or from capitalists and hnanaers
or from lawyers.

ECONOMY HITS THE WOMEN CLERKS.

IN s a means of economy in the postoffce department at Wash
~ ington, several of the older women clerks in the auditors
office have been dropped. Less than 100000 a year is saved.
The department deficit is $10O00,O00. 1t is said there will be some
further reductions in the force. But the immense cost of the frank
ing privilege goes on. The mail service is now loaded with political
campaign matter sent out under frank by senators and representa-
tives, and when Congress adjourns the mails will be fairly con
rested with this matter. Better discharge the aged women clerks
than reduce this expense of the distribution of political partisan
literature.
