What The Chamber Of Commerce Has Done

In the three years the Chamber of
Commerce has been in evidence it has
accomplished the following things:
Induced the railroad to open it's
docks to any ship that might apply
for berth; carried to the Interstate
Commerce Commission Pensacola's
fight for lower rates on crossties;
secured the same rates of freight on
certain commodities to towns in Ala
bama as apply from Mobile; secured
a modification of railroad switching
rules at Pensacola; defeated before
the railroad commission an attempt
to advance certain commodity rates
in Florida; secured reduction in the
rates on ground limestone and on
butter; collected overcharges for
consignees.
The following conventions have
been held in Pensacola: Alabama
Cotton Seed Crushers in 1915 and
1916, Southern Classification Com
rnittee, Uniform Rank, Woodmen Of
the World in 1915 and 1916, West
Florida Highway Association, West
Florida County Demonstration Agents,
the Alabama Bankers Association. In
January, 1915, the opening of the G.
F. & A. r. R., was celebrated in a
manner befitting the Importance Of
that event. The International AS
ISOLATION Of Ticket Agents, and the
board of directors of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States Wis
tied Pensacola and were royalty en-
tertained.
The Chamber of Commerce also
operated trade extension trip to
towns on the G. F. & A. r. R.; as
sisted in the organization of the West
Florida Highway Association, the
West Florida Chamber of Commerce
and the Old Spanish Trail Associa-
ton; secured for Pensacola a place
on the Old Spanish Trail and had
this city designated as the southern
terminus of the Forrest Highway.
The Chamber of Commerce has taken
prominent part in the agricultural
extension work in Escambia county,

THE SCRATCH PAD.
BY THOMAS EWING DABNEY.

When you know that a man is
bad egg, avoid break with him.
Is your work dull? Then sharpen
your wits.
Some of the vote was altogether
too silent.
It's not the vote that. women want,
it's the voter.
At last reports the country was
doing very well, thank you.
The Chamber of Commerce needs

This is the time of the year when
editors are beginning to worry about
that Christmas editorial.
Shortly the air will be split with
the walls of those who didn't get any
plums.
Chestnut Crop Cornered" says a
headline. And thank heavens, peanut
politics are off the market.
If it is true, as somebody has said,
that the life of the ideal husband
is only one year, it is easy to under
stand why there are so few applicants
for the job.
"My words shall be few" said
Chatham, "but they shall be dag
gers" The vital sentence of Mr..
Asquith's Grafton was like a blast
from the suddenly opened door of a
furnace. In dozen scorching words
he withered up the weeds that flour
ish upon the thin soil of sentiment,
and destroyed all the floating germs
of peace-talk and alf-heartedness
Pulling aside the specious garments
of cant and comfort, he made the
House ring with his exposure of a
"patcheh-up, precarious, dishonour-
ing compromise, nasquerading under
the name of peace" The above in
the London Observer, shows that
when it comes to mixing metaphors,
the English have very little to learn.

THE PEOPLE TRIUMPH.

First and foremost the reelection of
Wilson means the definite triumph of the
people over capital His victory four years
ago was due, not to the strength of the
Democrats, but to the weakness of the Re
publicans-a house divided against itself.
The Republicans made superhuman efforts
to get back their power this year, but not
even Roosevelt, with his tremendous per-
sona1 following; not even the old-time
threats to close the factories; not even the
two-million-dollar campaign fund, was able
to stop the advance
that his program of reform, so auspiciously
begun, is to be continued, the tariff to be
made permanently non-partisan, foreign
business to be put on a basis that will en-
able successful competition abroad, and the
merchant marine to be developed.
It means, too, that the people are salts
fed with the way in which Wilson has adj
ministered Our international affairs during
the most difficult epoch of our history, and
it means that united country has not sub
ordinated national loyalty to party bun
combe. The German-born agitation against
Wilson was but a reflection of the bitter re-
sentiment of Germany against the man who
had forced its acceptance of his submarine
views, and from the highest to the lowest
circles his defeat would have been regarded
as a gigantic German triumph.
The big interests made common cause
with foreign intrigue against Wilson, be-
cause they wanted the lobby back again.
and didn't want the government nitrate
and armor plants; they didn't want any
recognition of labor; they wanted to exploit
Mexico.
No wonder the election was close The
first battle the people win against their
bosses is always close. But four years more
of reform, added to those we have already
had, will strengthen the cause of democracy.
which is popular rule, by proving all the
miracles claimed for it, and the man who
will succeed Wilson in 1920 will either be
a Democrat, or he will belong to party
that has more advanced ideas than the
Democrats.

PROOF OF PROSPERITY.

The $1O00O,0 900 order placed by the L. &
N. for rolling stock was more a recognition
of the sotlth's development than of the car
shortage.
AS was stated before the commissioner
of the Interstate Commerce Commission at
the conference held in Louisville on Novem-
Der and 4, the L. & N. is producing rail.
road; that is, it produces or originates on
its line great deal more traffic than
moves its line, and there is a constant
flow of cars from the south
eff we could, in some mysterious way
obtain FIVE or six thousand cars and put
them in service today" said C. B. Phelps
superintendent of transportation, they
would be out of our possession, off our line
in, | may conservatively say, two weeks.
If we could, in some manner, at the expira-
ton of that two weeks, find five thousand
more, they would undoubtedly meet the
same fate And so on, the east filling its
normal demand at the expense of the south
which is producing more than it is i'm
porting.
The net car shortage based on equipment
owned on October %, amounted to 1868
cars, as against 1926 on July Is, or sixty
per cent. These figures are for the L. & N.
road alone, but are typical of conditions
throughout the south.
All of these cars will eventually come
back to the south, and the l. & n railroad.
in ordering 5000 new oondo1as in addi-
ton to the 5000 already ordered, thereby
increasing its freight equipment over %
per cent, is simply preparing for the in
creased production of the future. Every
day reports come pouring over the wires
of new industries established, new enter
prises opened, new lands developed in the
south. We have called attention to a few
of them and have pointed to the inevitable
conclusion, only to be called over-sanguine
but when railroad makes such prepare
tons for an increase in business, no one
can doubt that new prosperity era has
dawned.

and there was no real reason why
she should not come again, there is
something in connection with the re-
ports that may be considered re-
markable, which is that the vessel
was submerged for distance of only
120 miles while near the British
coast. To travel on the surface for
practically 5000 miles during a time
when there are supposed to be huns
dreds of enemies lying in wait to
pounce upon her is quite feat, or is
it that the vigil has become slack p

pENsAcoLA'S NEW ENTERPRISE.

Truly it maketh the mouth water to read
about the toothsome dainties being put up
by Pensacolas new industry, Frank Welles'
sea food cannery.
One of the main reasons why Dickens is
such popular writer is that he knew how
to describe delicious things to eat; but
Dickens never wrote a more appealing
passage than the newspaper reference to
the deviled fish being put up, which is
cooked and seasoned with Irish potatoes,
onions, etc" You can almost smell the de-
iicious creation And you can picture the
ripping rapture that will run around the
table, when the can, having been immersed
in hot water, is opened and its glorious con-
tents are brought in, redolent and steaming
a thousand miles from Sunshine Land in
the frozen north.
Then there are fish fakes, shrimp and
the matchless chowder; another product
will be the sardined cigar fish, found here
in inexhaustible quantities, to be followed
later on by the vegetables.
The encouraging part of it all is that
although it has been in operation only a
few weeks, plans are even now being made
to enlarge the plant. The cannery is a new
enterprise in itself, and it will build UP the
dependent enterprises on sea and shore
the fishing fleet on the one side of Pensa-
cola and the crops on the other. Good eating
not only makes books popular-it also
builds towns bigger.

OUR UNDEvELoPED REGIONS.

AS our population grows and agricultural
consumption increases, more and more. at
tention is being paid to the reclamation of
waste land Since 1902 over a million and
a quarter acres have been irrigated by tho
government and are now producing crops
worth about $16,0O0,000 a year.
The reclamation of swamp lands is being
pushed very rapidly as we'll. Thousands of
acres have already been brought into uti-
walton in Louisiana, Missouri and other
places, at a cost ranging from So to 81 an
acre, plus the cost of clearing; and it is es-
timated by the Chamber Of Commerce of
the United States, at Washington, that of
the 10O,000,000 acres of swamp lands in the
United States, 100000 can be reclaimed
or about 70 per cent of the entire acreage of
our present corn crop and twice the acreage
planted in cotton.
Eventually all waste land will be con
verified to the plow, but considering the mil
lions of acres of land, the best sort of land
that is available in the south, expensive
drainage and irrigation projects are a pre-
mature investment, and to that extent a
dead loss.
Here in Florida, for instance, there are
about 100000 acres of land. only 2O0O,-
900 are under cultivation. OF the total,
1850 acres are swamp. There is land av IL
able in Georgia, Mississippi and Alabama IN
the same proportion.
Unborn generations will be able to com
pute the resources of wealth in our cut-over
pine lands we will never be able even to
imagine it. Enterprise so far has been con-
cerned mainly with taking timber and tur-
pentine from these rich acres With the.1r-
satiable demand for land, however, lun' ber-
men are taking counsel among themselves
to discuss the future development of cut
over lands. An important conference IS tc
be held in New Orleans on Just that subject.
These cut-over lands, such as you will
see in half an hours drive from Pensacola.
have proven of unusual fertility and adapted
to remarkably diversified crops, as well as
stock raising. This land sells for So to SD
an acre, and put into cultivation IS worth
$50; with intelligent handling it will pro-
duce as profitably as land that sells for $500
in other sections.

Paper Advances

Paper Advances
The price of news paper is sched-
uled to advance another so per cent
after the first of November, so say
the powers that control the price of
this product. This will bring it up
to about ten cents per pound, or the
same price that year ago we were
paying for a very good grade of bond
paper, such as business men write
their letters on. This advance will
mean the advance of oyer 300 per
cent on the price of news within the
past year. 1t will mean as actual
cost of the Gazette of more than fif-
teen dollars per week for the white
paper used in printing our two is

cost of composition, press work ink,

enter into the cost of getting out a
