The gospel of tick eradication and diversified
farming has been preached for the past three weeks by
specialists connected with the agricultural department
of the Louisville Nashville railroad. These men,

that the tick today causing the loss of thousands Of
dollars to every county.
The Journal in asking the cattlemen and others in

National Highway a
New Defense Plan.

Representative Stephens of Cali
fornia has presented a new idea in
connection with the defense plans now
being formulated by the administra-
ton. He apparently realizes the in
adequacy of present transportation ia
cilities of this country in the event
Of war and would provide as an aid
to the railroads in handling large
bodies of troops and munitions a ma
tional highway that would circle the
United States.
The highway would be known as
the national defense highway. It
would follow the coast, would utilize
these highways now in condition and
would construct others, the counties
and states through which it passes to
furnish the right of way. The con-
struction of the highway, as we'll as
its maintenance, would be under the
authority of the president only.
Mr.. Stephens in outlining his bill
says it would provide the following:
A national highway circling the
United States within its borders, and
running strategically near the At
lantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts, as
well as our northern and southern
boundary lines.
A national highway, to be used in
times of peace by automobiles, auto
trucks and other vehicles for COM
mercial and healthful purposes.
A national highway extraordina-
rily useful, when war threatens or
we are attacked. Over it men IN
greatest numbers and munitions and
supplies can be transported quickly to
any point north, south, east or west.
A national highway 10000 miles
long, that win give work at good
wages for many years to at least 100,-
600 American citizens in good times
and to several times that number in
''hard times" The employment of
new men periodically, will add great
ly to cur trained reserves.
A national highway providing
physical and mental drill for all man
ual and clerical employes-thus fit
ting hundreds of thousands of young
men for national defense-and to be
better heads of families.
There is no doubt that in case of
a war with any of the European pow
ers this country would be severely
handicapped on account of its lack of
transportation facilities. This has
been experienced in moving small
bodies of men to the Mexican border
and coast Therefore an automobile
highway would be a valuable adjunct
and should be given serious consider
alton by congress in its preparations
for defense.

Pensacola Premier Port
of the Gulf.

Within thirty days or Whereabouts
the new coaling dock Of the L. & N.
viii be completed, with capacity
of 45O ions of coal an hour, either in
the hold or bunkers of the vessel,
and will mean that the ordinary
tramp steamer may be coaled in a few
hours.
In two or three months the docks
of the G. F. & A. viii be completed
thus further increasing the capacity
for handling cargoes out of Pensacola.
Lumber cargoes are now handled at
this port with greater rap.dity than
any other port of the gulf coast, and
with the increased facilities for coal
ing, Pensacola will rank as the pre-
mier port of the south.
Shipments of naval stores are re-
ported heavy, lumber shipments are
increasing, other cargoes are satisfac-
tory and with the facilities for ,oaling
which heretofore have not been ade-
quate, there is nothing that can hold
Pensacola back from its rightful po-
sition as an export center.

Elihu Root Would Like
the Republican Nomination

Elihu Root, one of the foremost of
reactionary Republicans, has delivered
the keynote of the Republican national
campaign. What Mr.. Root said be-
fore the New York Republican con-
vention would be of little interest to
the people Of Florida but for the fact
that his utterances pretty clearly out
line the attack to be made on Presi-
dent Wilson and the Democratic party
in the approaching elections.
Mr.. Root dwelt upon the tariff, but
what he said was neither new or par
ticularly interesting, and will meet
with no response in view of the fact
that this country is now enjoying an
era of prosperity that is filling the
pockets of all classes. His talk on
Mexico will also fall flat for the rea-
son that Carranza is about te subdue
the rev remaining bands of ban
dts.
Mr.. Root, having disposed of these
two questions to his satisfaction,
takes up the European war and the
manner in which the administration
has handled the many difficult mat
tiers that have arisen. He leaves no
one to doubt his attitude, and his at
titude may be taken as that of the
Republican party, as whole, He up
braids the administration fer its al
legged failure to protect Americans on
the seas and abroad. His every ut
terance appears to have been dictated
by none other than Colonel Roose-
welt.
His speech as a whole would indi-
cate an approaching agreement be-
tween the Republicans and the Pro-
gressives. Inevitably his remarks
will stimulate discussion of himself as
possible Republican candidate.
There is no doubt that, in spite of
his seventy-one years, he would be ac-
cept the nomination, but it is doubt
full if the Republicans would be will
ing to accept him even though he Sc
cured the nomination. This belief
rests upon the common knowledge of
Mr.. Roots political and professional
connections, and the identification of
those connections in the public mind
with what is ultra-conservative, reac-
tionary and therefore unpopular.
Mr.. Roots speech is the keynote of
his Republican campaign. j. also
may be considered as his aptsGi 7UT
he nomination.

Smithwick Leading

A letter from J. H. Smithwick gives
the information that he viii come to
Bay county in March to spend week
or two, during which time he hopes
to meet personally all of the voters,
From all counties of the district re-
ports are going out that SmithwicE
is gaining in strength every day.
1t is surprising to see how enthu-
siastic Mr.. Smithwick's friends are
for him, and this enthusiasm is not
confined to his personal friends for
scores of Bay county people who
have never seen him and know him
only by reputation never let an OPP
portunity escape to say a good word
for him.
Florida is more in the lime light
than ever before in her history, and
the country at large usually sizes up
a section by the ca!iber of man sent
to Washington to represent it. For
this reason a large majority of the
voters Of the Third Congressional dis
trict are supporting Smithwick. He
is a man who will compare favorably
with the strong men from other
states; he is capable of mingling with
the leaders and will be able to get for
the district its share of the appropri-
ations.
The people are for Smithwick be-
cause they know he is needed. They
are going about the selection Of a
congressman just like they would the

Sorcery Versus Industry
and Intelligence.

and Intelligence.
Under the present conditions in
foreign lands our exports of farm
productions are certain to break all
records as to tonnage and values dur
ing the present calendar year, and
probably in the year 1917 as well.
Farm lands in this country are in
for large advance over present
prices. They can be made to yield net
incomes that will justify the advance
in prices.
Never before in the history of this
continent have the people of other
continents been in such a state of abb
solute dependence upon our farming
products for their sustenance. There
are two years OF this urgent demand
and of demands annually larger than
those of either 1914 or 1915 that will
have to be met by our agriculturalists.
and even, II the -ccord crops of 1915
can be exceeded in tonnage during
1916 and 1917 the world will be
ready to buy and consume them.
Given normal weather, the largest
acreage in cultivation of food stuffs
ever noted in the United States, and
a huge increase over the best years
yields, our farmers of the United
States will find ready sale at good
prices for all they can produce.
Millions of soldiers are massed on
each side of Europe, ready to begin
the heaviest assaults upon their enc
mics with the opening of the spring.
From the Baltic to the Black sea, from
the, North sea to the Vosges, from
the western Alps to the Adriatic, and
from the Adriatic to the eastern con-
fines of Greece, the producers of Eu-
rope, the agriculturists and artisans,
are engaged in warfare.
If the hostiiitias should cease by
next fall, and such possibility now
seems remote, there EXISTS little
chance for the disbanded armies to
bring back to it's normal ratio the
productiveness of their respective
countries.
To America the nations of the
world must look for some time to
come. Florida is the great garden
spot of the United States. One has but
to consider what has been done with
the arid lands of the west, and then
look upon the great area of uneulti-
waited land in this state, waiting only
for the sorcery that lies in intel
ligence and industry, to realize the
great profits which could be secured
by this state, and this section of the
state, through application of these
two qualities.
West Florida can be made as pro-
ductive as any section of Florida, and
for diversity in its agricultural prod
ucts, will some day excel other sec
tons Of the state But this day will
never come until this section of Florm
ida is aroused to its latent possib41fI
ties, and to the important place to
which 1t is entitled. No people ever
come into their own until they go
out after ft-there are no tricks Of
fortune in farming, any more than
in commerce. When the farmers of
West Florida have learned to apply
the rules to agricultural production
that are applied in the pursuit of
other avocations, then will this Sec
tion of the state take its rightful
place in the markets of the world.
And while the United States is feed
ing the nations of Europe West Flo
rida will be feeding its own people,

kets,

| Nothing succeeds like success-ini-
tation is the sincerest flattery. These
two good, time-worn maxims are be-
ing again proven trustworthy, for
here is Mobile after the Florida tour
| list trade.
Florida is becoming known as the
great tourist resort of the world be
cause it is Americas garden spot,
Here in Pensacola we have advan-
tages ever other southern cities be
cause added to climate which is de
lightful all the year round, and city
beautiful, we have the most beautiful
bay in the world, the best surf bath
ing and still water bathing in the
world, the best fishing in the world
and the prettiest bayous for sum
mer homes in all the world.
The Mobile Register of. Saturday
says:
One seldom picks up one of the big
weekly publications of this country
without seeing some article about
Florida, some advertisements of Flor
ida's resources, or some picture of a
beautiful scene in Florida in it. There
is more of this sort of publicity going
on this year than usual, for the rea-
son that a bid is being made for the
wealthy tourist travel that hitherto
has gone to the Mediterranean Rivi-
era for its winter diversiona
Why can't Mobile and the whole
Gulf coast of Alabama and Mississ-
ippi ge. in on this campaign of pub
licity? Why not let the Country
Gentleman" known that we have a
orange that is Che sweetest and most
delicious of all oranges, climate that
is perfection in winter and agricultu-
raj possibilities that are just as good
as those of Florida?
The last isue of the Manufacturer
Record contains number Of page adj
vertisements paid for by railroads adj
vertising Florida as winter resort
and Florida's resources. We don't be-
grudge our sister state any of this
publicity, but we do begrudge the
fact that our own. state and Misssis-
sippi are not getting it.
There should be some sort nf con-
certed action looking to the develop
ment OF our section as a winter and
summer resort and also of our lands
and what they will do when intelli-
gently farmed.
With all due consideration of Mo-
bile's many advantages, we would re-
mind her that you can not make a
tourist town with advertising pros
pectuses. When you get 'em you've
got to keep 'em entertained. Here we
have fishing and hunting and boating
and bathing and golfing and dancing,
and at a moments notice we produce
a battleship for their amusement or
pull off flying stunt, to crafty their
curiosity.
Then they go home and tell other
people about it, and so are We be-
coming known to the world as its
amusement as well as commercial
center.
We admit that one can seldom pick
up one of the big weekly publications
without reading about Florida, and
oftenest of Pensacola.
We are news. That's why!
