The Better Way

He serves his country best
Who joins the tide that lifts her nobly on;
For speech has myriad tongues for every day,
And song but one; and law within the breast
Is stronger than that craven on stone;
There is better way.
He serves his country best
Who lives pure life and doeth righteous deeds
And walks straight paths however others stray,
And leaves his sons, as uttermost bequest,
stainless record, which all men may read;
That is the better way.

VOX POPULI.
is INTERESTED IN THE
POSSIBILITIES OF A BILLION

Editor Pensacola Journal.
Everything on the money question is
! very interesting to me. Prof Clarence
Tate interested me in his Possibilities
of a Billion in last Sunday morning S
Journal.
I did not attempt to follow his fig
ures where he cut into some fool
magazine that said a million millions
is billion, that would be a trillion,
or one thousand billions. but when he
began to instruct 1 was interested.
He said: "A billion silver dollars in
cars each holding sixty thousand
pounds would take eigh: hundred and
thirty three cars extending in a solid
line nearly five miles
Let US see if that is correct. A sill
Yer dollar weighs 412.5 grains troy. A
billion dollars would weight Az, 500, -
100000 grains troy. Seven thousand
grains troy weighs one pound avoir-
dupois, and the billion dollars, at that
rate, would weigh 5S,92S, ST. ST pounds
avoirdupois Sixty thousand pounds to
the car would take nine hundred and
eighty-two cars to carry a billion dol
lars of silver and you will have an ex-
cess of over four tons, S,571 81 pounds
at that, if l am right.
I commend your article in general,
and it is possible that you wanted to
see it corrected SO as to get the peo-
PIE thinking over the OK cart system
of money.
Why. billion dollars in gold weighs
Is, 500, 900, 900 grains troy, 25s grains to
the dollar. Divide that by 1000 and
you have $685. 2-7 pounds avoirdu-
pois. In freight cars carrying $4,000
pounds each, it would take 81 cars
with a surplus of 27,7142-7 pounds
over to carry a billion dollars in gold.
So far as money is concerned with
in the United States) 1t is utterly
foolish to use gold and silver for the
tokens.
The money law I have written says:
Sec. 4S. This law will conserve
gold and silver for international pur-
poses. The worldwide competition for
gold and silver has not been overlook
ed nor underestimated.
ITO that end the United States mint
and treasury, and all the branches of
each, shall pay one lawful paper dollar
coined by this act for twenty five and
EIGHTEEN grains Of standard gold
whether foreign made or uncoined, and
shall pay the same amount for an
amount of silver which in the market

time, effort and money can be saved
if all the cities and counties are work
ing along similar lines and towards the
execution of we'll defined and
definite plan. Herein lies the beauty
and the utility Of a state bureau on
publicity and emigration.
An important and interesting ques-
ton for the boards of county COM
missioners, the municipal govern
ments and the boards of trade to solve
is this: How shall unanimity Of eff
fort be brought about?
It is conceded that florida only
needs more good settlers and more
capital invested. If the whole truth
about Florida is known throughout the
country, these will come. Florida Of
fers the opportunity and the entire
country is full of people who would
be benefited by coming here. 1t only
remains to bring the men and the op-
portunity together. This can only be
accomplished by persistent, active,
systematic, intelligent and truthful ad-
vertising.

A Big Crop
Of New Laws.

Thirty nine states have held legis-
lative sessions this year and have en-
acted more than $4,000 new laws. Three
legislatures are still in session, those
of New York, Illinois and our own
state and these are still grinding out
new measures.
In looking over the field it may be
seen that progressive legislation has
made gains although many good meas
ures have failed to pass. North Da-
kota enacted blue sky law while
Wyoming refused to pass a similar
measure. West Virginia has estab-
Hshed primary elections. Indiana en-
acted public service commission law.
Kansas failed to pass a resolution CIV
ing the people a chance to vote on
the Initiative and referendum. Mon
tana created a state tax commission
and also submitted to the people
constitutional amendment providing
for woman suffrage. North Carolina
provided for a minimum school term
of six months. Idaho also created a
law like that of Kansas Arkansas
has proven to be one OF the most pro-
gressive of all the states. 1t estab-
lished a state board of health, a board
of vital statistics, state highway
commission. blue sky law and a
corrupt practices act
The general trend of these legisla-
lures is towards progress. Progress
sive policies are confronted with seri-
Gus opposition and in many instances
have been checked
In our own state. the legislature has
so far enacted very few of the i'm
portant measures that the general
public so greatly desire. However, the
body will remain in session for sew
eral weeks and many remedial and
constructive measures may yet be
passed.

Yellowharnrners Bar
the Turkey Trot.

Alabama has placed a ban on the
turkey trot, the tango and the bunny
hug. DR.. George H. Denny, president
of the University of Alabama, has pub
lished regulations to this effect and
these have been favorably commented
upon throughout the state. In bar
ring these dances from his institu-
ton, Dr.. Denny says the moral tone
of the state university has always been
good and he proposes to keep it that
way.
The great educator says the state
ment that the dances recently given
b. the university are like those given
at all social functions all over the
state. has nothing to do with the
case. He believes, he says, that the
turkey trot and the tango are immoral
and indecent and he is determined they
shall not be danced at the university
of Alabama.
All of which goes to show, they are
not so slow up in Alabama, even if
some evil-minded persons are wicked
enough to insinuate that it will be
a hundred years before these Sodom
and Gomorrah dances reach the wool
hat sections of Yellowhammer society.

southern states were buying all their
supplies from England. 1t is true
that the greatest pressure to reduce
that income tax on sugar, together
with other things has come for
solid south" 1t is true that the Will
son bill and CIeveland's administra-
ton destroyed the sugar business, and
bankrupted more than half the cane
growers of Louisiana. It is true that
after the restoration of a small duty,
that Chicago capital, more than all
else, rehabilitated the sugar factories,
and has enlarged the plants more than
a hundred fold up to this time.
Today the state Of Louisiana has

buildings and field improvements val

will not be a centrifugal sugar fac
tory in Louisiana or any southern
state. No process can be devised in
this country to make free trade sugar,
and the sure results will be that after
the passage of the present bill, as now
proposed. Money will begin to flow
into Cuba, and as soon as the present
planting is worked out, every factory
will be abandoned and the machin-

United States, will put a quietus for
quarter of a century, at least.

The income tax is right, and could
soon redeem our Panama canal bonds
and make all our inland canals, but
shame to talk of it as replacing the
revenue lost by free sugar and leave
the industry to foreign nations, and
beggar the promoters of so important
an industry of our own, and not only
lose the revenue, but also send two
hundred million dollars out of our
country to pay for sugar We should
produce at home.
The great cry for to reduce the
cost of living, leaves out the solemn
fact that what is cheap to the con-
sumner, is fearfully cheap often to the
producers, and we of these cheap
lands want our own boys and girls

go back to the farm"

Teaching Agriculture
In the Schools.

An interesting fact is brought out
in a late bulletin of the United States
Bureau of Education. II is that teach
ers who are able to give instruction
in agriculture receive on an svera ge
nearly twice as much pay as those
who cannot and do not teach this
science.
This should be a valuable hint to
the poorly paid school teachers all
over the United States. This bulletin
says the usual salary for a male
teacher of agriculture in the same
institution is $1,000 per year. Lack
of skilled instructors causes this diff
ference, In this case the old law of
supply and demand applies.
The bulletin continues to say: Not
only is it found that the average pay
of instructors in agriculture is higher
than for other teachers. but that
teachers who are able to give such
instruction in addition to regular work
command better salaries than they
otherwise would and are more likely
TO be advanced to principalships than
If they had not specialized in agricul-
ture"
