II is an announced ambition on
the part of the people of Linn
ton TO promote a boulevard en-
terprise that quite takes the
breath of steady-going people.
The boulevard is To run along
the Western heights northward
To the town in question, and il
is quite supertluous to say that
the scenic magniiicence of il
would be beyond anything that
could be found anywhere in the
country.
II may be thought that there is
no occasion to take seriously the
bare suggestion of such a boule-
ward.
And yet il is the great and
novel scheme like this which
has the fundamentals for making
this city and its enyirons world
famous that we need to consider
seriously. The startling sugges-
ton, that staggers us because of
the prospective expense involved
If il has merit behind il, is
bound as a rule to stick by, TO be
considered in the tentative sense,
and finally 20 assume the status
of a definite plan and then be-
come the fact. IL is not impos-
sible. nor should we say that il
is even improbable that this

MR.. LASON COMMENTS ON
THE CURRENCY SYSTEM

Editor Pensacola Journal
Under the first money law ever en-
acted under our present constitution,
the law Of April End, 1892, each cent
copper, and half cents one-half as
much. It would take 62,S58 freight cars
carrying so, 900 pounds each to carry a
billion dollars, but one car would have
in 1t but S,571 81 pounds.
My proposed law says:
Sec. %. Every phase Of the con-
stitutional plan of money has been vfo-
lated. Every money law enacted by
congress has violated one or more of
the six fundamental parts of the con-
stitutional plan of money, unless 1t be
the money law Of May 8. 1892, the sec
ond money law ever passed under the
constitution. AN act to provide a
copper coinage"
The first money law enacted under
the constitution violated it, the law of
Apri, 2, 1892, in that it donated all the
money to the owners of gold and silver
in perpetuity. 1t was an error.
No congress seems to have ever
made a careful study of the scientific
constitutional plan of money, with a
view Of obeying it in its entirety, and
securing it's advantages to the treas
ury of the United states-to the peo-
pie"
Luckily. however the supreme law
of the land--its plain plan Of money
can not be changed or blotted out by
temporary violations. It is still the
law and affords solid foundation for
this reform--for real systematic,
scientific, constitutional money, for the
use and benefit of all the people of the
United States of America"
1 am trying now to explain the reason
why I said this. I referred above to
the law of May 8. 1892.
This law authorized the director of
the mint to purchase $50 tons OF cop
per and coin it into cents and half
cents to BE paid into the treasury of
the United States, thence to issue into
circulation"
mo copper coins or pieces whatso-
ever. except said cents and half-cents,
shall pass current as money, or shall
be paid, or offered to be paid or re-
ceived in payment Of any debt, demand.
claim, matter or thing whatsoever: and
ali copper coins or pieces except the
said cents and half cents which shall
be paid or offered to be paid or re-
ceived in payment contrary to the pro-
hibition aforesaid, shall be forfeited,
and every person by whom any Of
them shall have been paid or offered
to be paid or received in payment,
shall also forfeit the sum of ten dollars.
And the said forfeiture and penalty
shall and may be recovered with cost
of suit for the benefit of any person
or persons by whom Information of the
mourning thereof shall have been
given
If congress had the power to drive
the cents, not made by their authority,
out Of circulation and cut them out by
the roots, there is no lack of power to
drive the dollars out and cut them out

piece for what would otherwise cost a
dollar. Ten cents of this sum will be
paid to each of the daily papers and
the name and address sent them. Five
cents stays with the secretary to pay
for stamps for two personal follow up
letters later on. The city papers will
carry twice a week a double column
eight-inch display and ten-inch, one
time, display reader for fifty dollars a
month, each.
By this plan every interested party
can in a few weeks time learn just
what Pensa cola is and what she is try
ing to do, and then with the come and
see for yourself letters and the right
train service Pensacola will get what
she truly needs, and that is outside
money. At the present time for seven
months out of the year you have to
live from one another; the northerner
has the money; he is looking for some
place to spend it; he wants to know
about that place before he starts; he
wants to get there in the most COM
Portable manner. and this will do it.
He will be the man who will furnish
the money for the new factories; he
will be the man who will aid you in
making a bigger and better Pensacola;
ne will be the man who will spend his
money for mercandise and give your
merchants a chance to do something
besides pay license fees, taxes and
clerk hire, and this plan will get him
here; but where you are the tail end
of a jerkwater division Of the l.. & N"
only the man or woman who has met
you personally and knows your kind
hearts and loving ways will ever come
back.

1t will be seen from the above tele-
gram that the Alabama Cotton Seed
Crushers' Association have definitely
decided to hold their next convention
in the Deep Water City in July.
There were a number of cities which
had invited the association to be their
guests when they held their next con-
vention, but after mature considera-
ton, the committee concluded that
Pensacola held out the greatest ad-
vantages of them all.
The association is composed of a
number of the most prominent cot
ton-seed oil mill men in the South and
it is expected that a large number,
in fact, the full membership will be
present on the occasion of their next
convention.
1t is one of the oldest organiza-
tions of it's kind in the South. and
it's deliberations are always given the
closest attention, not only by the daily
press, but by all of the trade journals
of the country.
1t was through the commercial as
ISOLATION that the cotton crushers were
extended an invitation to hold their
convention here and their efforts that
the selection was made. Everything
will be done to make the stay of the
association a pleasant and profitable
one.

SUBMITS A PLAN FOR
BUILDING UP PENSACOLA

Editor Pensacola Journal
/ desire to submit to the citizens of
Pensacola and especially to the COM
mercial association a plan which I
know will! do more to build up Pen
sacola than any which has heretofore
been advocated. 1t is this:
First: Go to the local passenger
agent Of the L. & N. r. r and make
arrangements whereby, when next
falls traffic sets in, a Pullman car will
be placed on trains in Chicago, ST.
Louis. Cincinnati and Louisville and
come directly through to Pensacola
without change.
What will this do? 1t will bring
down the class of men and women
from the North who have money to
spend, but who viii not come to Pen
sacola more than once, and will avoid
that ''once" if possible. This is caused
by the poor train service and changing
cars. Go to any passenger Office in the
North. discuss rates and train service
for the South, mention Pensac cola and
see how quick the answer comes back:
What Pensacola. Why Pensacola is
at the end of a little, rough jerkwater
division of the L. & n. Get ticket
to Jacksonville; you can go right
through without change of cars The
very first thing to do is to remedy that
transportation wrong.
Second: Advertise Pensacola. Pen
sacola is fortunate in having two of
the pest papers published in the state.
Advertise Pensacola, but advertise her
in her own home papers, not in foreign
papers. Keep your advertising money
at home 1t should be spent here
Have the present secretary of the COM
mercial association write articles on
Pensacola setting forth special points
of interest to investors or homeseekers
and have these articles published
twice a week in each paper.
Then take one good morning and one
good evening paper in each Of the large
northern cities and with a two-inch
solid display call attention to Pensa-
cola and to the further fact that for
twenty-five cents in stamps or silver,
sent to the secretary Of the CONNER
cial association, one copy of each Of
Pensacola's papers will be mailed each
day, Sundays included, for one month

Editor Pensacola Journal
Although the readers and citizens of

your paper of the death of Thomas

few words about my dear old friend

over forty years.
A truer friend. a more honest man,
or a more charitable neighbor has

soldier. He was at the battle of Shiloh
and Fort Donaldson, Perryville and

Florida
Canning Factories.

Florida is rapidly coming into her
own and in no way Is this being
brought about more surely than in the
establishment of canning factories in
all parts of the state.
News items in the state papers tell
of the building of large cannery at
Ocala, in Marion county, by Atlanta
capitalists. The Ocala proposition is
to be an all the year around affair and
maintain its payroll for twelve months
in the year. The specia! product of
this cannery will be sweet potatoes and
the owners are now contracting for
the purchase of all the sweet potatoes
they can get and stand ready to buy
all the potatoes Marion county can pro-
duce. The cannery will also use other
OF the by-products.
There is nothing novel in this prop
osition. These canneries are going up
all over the state, but this one is men
toned because it is the latest and one
of the largest.
Canning sweet potatoes has long
been known as good way to preserve
this useful product, but the business
on a large scale for commercial pur-
poses is comparatively a new enter
prise. But it is a good one and one
that has no limitations.
Florida grows the best sweet pota-
toes on this continent and they may
be grown here at less cost than any
where else.
The country around Pensacola is
specially adapted to potato growing
and the raising and canning Of this
product here. on a large scale, seems
to be one Of the enterprises that may
be developed in the near future.

Henry M. Flagler
and the Work He Did.

The death of Henry NJ. FTagler re-
moves from this life the greatest single
factor in the development of her ma
teria1 resources that Florida has ever
possessed.
He was a pioneer in the recognition
of the vast resources of soil and climate
of the East Coast of Florida and he
possessed the means and ability to
utilize those resources for the enrich
ment OF himself and of the people who
were able to take advantage Of them
after he had blazed the way.
Like nearly all men of great wealth
lie had his faults and made his mis-
takes, but, now that he IS dead, these
may well be buried with him. The
chief complaint that Florida had
against Mr. F1agler was his disposition
to use. or permit the use of, his vast
resources and power to influence the
politics OF the state, but he was in that
simply carrying out the policies of the
great financial systsm of which he was
a part and. happily, 1t is now no longer
POSSIBLE for that system to control the
politics of the country as it once did.
No monument that can be built to
sIfenry M. F1agler will ever approach
in significance the work he did in
Transforming the East Coast of Flor
ida from a wilderness into a garden
and in building the great overt he-sea
railroad from the mainland to Key
West. This work will, constitute his
best monument and in 1t future gener-
atoms will always see exemplified the
will and brain and resource of the
great man who yesterday passed away.

not so savagely.
I tell you this law of cents recog-
nizes the constitutional power.

gress is an asset of the treasury and

tons of copper would make If you wish
to contemplate the freight car system

only 4s grains, IS per cent copper and

any method, but for the constitutional
principles: that money, scientific
money, is made by law, that it's value
and that every dollar shall be paid into

taxpayers.
The entire fault has been in con-
