FLORIDA-FIRST COM
MISSION MEETING

AS this magazine goes to press,
there is in progress at Orlando an
important meeting of the Florida
First Commission. This meeting will
have to do with plans for the con-
tinued activity of the organization,
and at this writing it is expected
that the meeting will be quite large
ly attended.
With only a few thousand dollars
at its command, Florida-First Com
mission made an unusual showing
during the present season. Though
its organization was not completed
until last December, it made rapid
progress with its publicity plans, and
with its limited funds, put ON an
advertising campaign in Northern
magazines and newspapers which has
lgivel substantial results beyond
question of doubt.
This year the Florida-First Com
mission will undertake to raise one
hundred thousand dollars to adver-
tise Florida as it has never been ad-
vertised before. Its advertising will
deal with the wonderful agrcultur-
al resources of this state as well as
from the standpoint of the tourists
and winter visitor
The officers and directors of the
commission are among Florida's lead
ing and progressive business men.
They are entitled to the absolute con-
fidence and full support of the citi-
zens of the state Every county and
every town in Florida will do we'll
to contribute it's share towards this
constructive work for our state.
Those who contributed for the pres
ent seasons campaign have received
mush positive proof of the undis-
puted value of the work that the
commission has already performed.
With prosperity ruling in all parts
VI the United States. The people of
florida can well afford to spend one
hundred thousand dollars to acquaint
he other one hundred and nine mil
ion individuals in this country with

NOISE AND VOTES

In an open letter to the voters of
West Florida Senator Hudson, candi
date before the democratic primary
for the governorship nomination, asks
the voters of that section not to Judge
his campaign by the noise he is max
ing.
Somebody over there has said that
the senator was i'll and was not cam
paigning and he made it known that
his health was all that could be de-
sired and that he was strictly in the
game of corralling the votes of east,
west middle south and east coast
Florida, including Key West.
The admonition not to Judge a can
didates campaign by the amount of
noise he is making is particularly fine
just at the opeing of the campaign
for all offices. 1t is not the man who
makes the loudest noise on the plat
form who now secures the confidence
and the vote of the Floridian.
Time was when campaigns were
conducted in all the dust and confus-
ion that could be raised, and the more
hulabaloo, many times, the more
votes for the most energetic.
But Florida people are becoming
leaders and thinkers and noise does
not appeal to them, as it might have
once. A candidate must firsb of all.
be man, and then he must have
some good reason for his candidacy.
which reason he can place before the
voter quietly and with no effeort at
creating circus. The uiet state
ment, the well put argument, backed
by the facts. are all now that the
people care much about They are
too busy Winding their own affairs
to take part in or to witness a spec
tacle. But they will listen to reason
as advanced by a quiet spoken, bus
mess like candidate.
Senator Hudson has set the pace in
the right direction and his campaign
will attract all the more attention be-
cause he is conducting it quietly and
on business illness. And by the same
token. that is the kind of man to make
a governor acceptable to the people
and profitable for the state.-Miami

THE WALKING STUNT

Hardly a week passes throughout
THE entire year but what some news

dance-and song about a husband and

all his emoluments to the couple, or
the single individual who handled the

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING BEST

The statements of advertising ex-
perts and advertisers who have used
them all tend. to confirm the ever
growing conviction that newspaper
advertising not alone pays, but pays
better than any other form of pub
licity. This thought has been embod-
led time and again in the columns of
the American Press. A recent issue
of the Fourth Estate brings further
proof of this contention. Under the
heading Does Advertising In the
Newspapers Pay?' it says:
I'm a recent issue of the ourth Es-
tate it was shown that the Calox
company, manufacturer of denti-
frice, experienced in Boston and as
the result of a brief newspaper CAM
paign increased it's sales in Boston
alone 400 per cent over the entire
sales in all the New England states
for the entire year 1915.
THE figures for the past year of
some of the large advertising con-
Germs of the country, which are
gradually being made public, prove
interesting and incidentally demon
strate more clearly than volumes Of
arguments the wonderful efficacy of
newspaper advertising as business
builder. Prosperity for those who
have the nerve and foresight to bank
on it is the unfailing result of judi
cious, consistent and continuous
newspaper advertising.
Occasionally wiseacres are met
who say the Gillette Safety Razor
idea is 'petering OUT that the Gill
lette company had blazed the trail
for a score of competitors, with
cheaper razors, that are getting the
business, etc.
THE portrait of King Gillette
decorated almost all the magazine
pages a few years ago. During the
past year or so newspaper announce
ments began to appear.
THE answer? Well, 100000 Gill
lette razors were sold last year
against 10000 the first year, and in
1915 the net earnings were $2,427,-
173 against $1,673,435, a 45 per
cent increase.
THE Victor Talking Machine com
pany began flirting with newspaper
advertising several years ago. The
result was a recent extra dividend of
10 per cent on the common stock
this in addition to a regular quarter
ly dividend of per cent!
THE B. F.. Goodrich company has
used large newspaper space to adver-
tise it's tires. Last year II per cent
dividends were paid on the common.
The capital is 100000, 900. and
the dividend for the previous year
was less than 6 per cent.

THE ARMOR PLATE BILL

The purpose of the Tillman bill,
which provides for a government ar
NOR plate establishment, is simply TO
protect the United States govern
ment from being exploited as it is
exploited now.
1t is a measure of importance and
will, let us hope, be the forerunner
of similar enterprises. Uncle Sam is
far too good a customer for the con-
science of the average money maker.
Both the money maker and the ma
tion need the protection, which a
few separate and independent plants
of his own would afford Uncle Sam
In the first place this independence
will relieve the pulling of Uncle
Sans already very long legs, and in
the second place it will be of enor-
nous benefit to the country's money
makers in teaching them how to fol-
low more self-reliant and more hon
Oidpie luSdio III uidhlu5 uouey.
To the New York World the diver
gence of opinion between Senator
Weeks of Massachusetts and Senator
Tillman of South Carolina is to be
traced to the fact that the one SEN
ator has been made out of stock
broker and the other out of a farm
er. "No plain farmer like Senator
Tillman can take liberties with the
vested rights of corporations, with
out certainty of being caught at
it., declares the World, and goes on
to explain:
What Mr.. Tillman hopes to ac-
complish by means of a government
armor plate plant is to stabilize the
industry and divest it of it's mono
pclistic, not to say gouging, meth
DDS. With long experience on the ex-
changes, Senator Weeks of Mas
sachusetts is confident that his col
league is conspiring against the
peace, dignity and prosperity of the
United States.
From the viewpoint of people
less panicky than the Massachusetts
senator, it may be said that no
matter what Affections may follow
the enactment of Mr. Tilman's bill,
it will relieve the country of at least
two longstanding grievances. We
shall not be charged twice as much
for armor plate as other nations pay,
and we shall have at least one plant
that will not use putty, grease and
oil to conceal blow-holes and other
defects when the naval inspectors
| are at hand
1t is inevitable that this nation
shall make a few radical departures
along the lines of maintaining its
own plants, if we are ever to over
come the blight of government-fed
] industries and come out of the err
rors into which the shortsighted poll
cies of the protective tariff have led
us. We have been blindly following
the false light of protection" in the
past, but the protection has all been
from the government for the indus
tries Now the need is for protec-
tion from the industries for the gov
eminent.
Senator Weeks seems to thing that
it is most important that the armor
plate industries shall continue to
flourish, but it is also important that
the United States shall flourish For
ourselves I'VE have an Mnshakable
confidence that almost any of these
industries which look so lone ingly
toward Uncle Sam for help would
make a success of it in scrambling
alon without government favor or
support. Savannah Press

From the earliest history Of the

These remedies were iaboriously gath
