1884, The revival in the last Ew
months shows the advantage Of shut
ting out foreign importations Of goods
in order to keep American mills run
ming. American laborers employed and
American money at home.
If referendum of the American
people could be taken in day it would
favor an embargo on all war supplies
to any nation at war. Still, as Mr.. Taft
has pointed out that would establish
a precedent that would shut foreign
factories against us in event of war
between this and another country.
Perhaps that is SO but few nations have
ever had trouble buying munitions with
the money.

COUNTY SCPERINTENDENT Law.
Midland Schools.l
The effort 10 remove the office Of
county superintendent from politics
was not wholly successful in the April
elections No one expected II TO be so.
The friends of the new law have
hoped that in time a tradition might
be esta blished similar to that govern
ing the election of city superintendents
by which employing officers would
compete with one another in securing
the best available candidates. We be-
lieve that such a practice can be de-
veloped The result OF the recent cleo
tons are not discouraging. 1t is safe
to say that the average efficiency OF
the county superintendentg in the nine
ty-nine counties OF the state was
never higher than 1t will be the next
! two years There is nothing TO indi-
catee that the standard will not be
raised still higher in the elections to
come. When powerful coterie of un-
scrupulous politicians in Polk county

HOW TO DEVELOP THE
SOUTH'S TOURIST BUSINESS
The Manufacturers Record.

The Manufacturers Record.
The announcement is made that
Atlantic City, that marvellous place
of marvellous hotels, not content with
being. the worlds greatest summer
resort and with being a very great
winter resort, is now putting forth
combined effort to make its winter
business rival, if not surpass, that of
the summer. In connection with its
great and wonderful hotels it is
spending money lavishly to make the
facilities for the enjoyment of its Wis
itors as complete as possible and to
advertise its attractions even more
broadly than heretofore. The entire
life of Atlantic City is cenered on
providing as many advantages and
attractions as possible to secure and
hold tourist travel and to make these
facts as widely known as possible.
Its amazing success ought to be
studied by every tourist resort in the
South. There are a great many
places in the South, even when tour
ist business is already developed,
where far~less attention is given to
the comfort of visitors than can be
found in Atlantic City. 1t is because
the hotels in Atlantic City are untir-
ing in their efforts to make their

convenience; but the other guests
are not frozen, merely to accommo-
date the fellow with too much heat
in his blood. 49,.
Florida hotels, on the other hand,
to very large extent, go on the prin-
ciple that it is always warm in Flori-
da, which is not true, and that it
is not necessary to keep steam going
so that it may be available when
needed. There is not spot in Flor
ida which is warm enough every day
in the winter not to need steam heat,
and yet there are some big hotels in
Florida where steam heat is not avail
able except it be in the halls or lob
bies, and then it is by no means al
ways available at the time when
needed. One day in a cold hotel has
often driven tourists from Florida
and made them VOW never to return.
Many people 60 to Atlantic City,
preferring to stand the cold of winter
days in preference to going to Flori-
da, because they know they are abb
solutcly certain to have thoroughly
heated hotels and be able on every
bright day to walk or ride in rolling
chairs up and down its wonderful
Boardwalk, and they can find amuse-
ments without end. Something is

guests comfortable that they draw at
all times so many tens of thousands
of visitors. The average Southern
tourist-resort hotel does not begin
to give to its guests the same atten-
ton and the same care that can be
had at Atlantic City, though, of
course, some Of them are equal to
the very best in the land. This is all
the more surprising when so many of
these Southern-resort hotels are man
aged by Northern men, who ought
to know how to cater to the very best
advantage to Northern and Western
guests.
In the spring and early fall Allan
tic City hotels are extremely careful
to see that ample heat is available for
every room in the house at any mo-
ment that a guest desires it. They
take into account the fact that many
of their guests are semi-invalids or
aged people, who want more heat
than the robust man who lives Out
doors and who wants no heat. They
take care to provide the heat for the
invalid, the semi-invalid and the
aged, and then the man who does
not want heat can. live on the porch
