Water and Climate Render
Florida Great Stock Country

There are many reasons why Florida is
adapted to the successful growing of live,
stock of all kinds. Among the principal
reasons given by w. A. McRae, F1orida's
commissioner of agriculture, is the states
unlimited and unfaiIing supply of water,
which is absolutely essential in every
county to the successful production of live
stock of all kinds Where water is not rum
ming from natural sources, there is hardly
a locality in the state that cannot be made
to artihcially produce water enough for all
reasonable purposes, whether it be stock
raising or other purposes. Another which
is equally as important is the short feeding
and sheltering period necessary in this
state as compared with other states in the
Union, it not being necessary, and that in
parts of the state only, to feed more than
three months and shelter, possibly all told,
no more than six weeks in the entire year
Another and as great an advantage in
this state is the adaptability of the soils of
Florida to the production of all kinds of
forage crops and at less cost of production
than elsewhere OF course the climate has
much to do with this as we'll as the rainfall
and the soil, but because of these condi-
tions there is no section of the United
States that can surpass Florida as a live
stock producing country.

Senator Bryan a True Friend
Of All West Florida

Senator Nathan P. Bryan, F1orida's bril-
liant Junior senator, who has been COM
PEELED to come to the state and defend him
self from the attacks of those seeking to
prevent him enjoying second term, to
which precedent and all rights of justice
entitle him, is a true friend of Pensacola
and West Florida. This he has demon
strated on more than one occasion and it
is due in great measure to his untiring
efforts that Pensacola today enjoys the
distinction of being the headquarters of the
United States navy's aeronautic service,
while the navy yard, closed during Re
publican administration, is again becoming
scene of activity.
And, while Senator Bryan has looked
after the interests of West Florida in a
manner pleasing to his constituents in this
section of the state, he has not neglected
other ports and cities, but has given to
them the same honest service He IS not
one who might be termed pork barrel
senator, but representative of the people
who believes that his state should have just
treatment at the hands of the national gov
eminent and has demonstrated his ability
10 impress upon the department heads and
congress the justice of the claims he has
presented.
Senator Bryan has accomplished much
for Florida during his term and he also has
lived up to the spirit as we'll as letter of the
pls torn on which he was elected. Today
he stands high in the councils of the Dem
ocratic party, is among the recognized
leaders of the United States senate, and the
voters of Florida should be proud of the
opportunity to give to one who has served
them so we'll and faithfully second term.

TILLMAN FIGHTS
FOR PENSACOLA

Senator Tillman as chairman of
the naval committee, is making a
right for Charleston and Pensacola
navy yards, and deserves the graft
tude not only Of every Pensacolian,
but every citizen of Florida. In Wash
ington on Monday, Mr.. Tillman made
the following reference to the injus-
tice done the Pensacola yard by form
er Secretary Won Mayer, and express
ed his conviction of the Importance
of developing the Pensacola yard.
The following is taken, verbatim,
from the Congressional Record:
The expenditure for the six yards
north of Hatteras in 1912 was $780,
SOS, SOL; for the Charleston yard,
S72O, 1872; and for Port Royal, $685.

Pensacola Leads All Other
Florida Ports In Shipments

Pensacola assumed a commanding lead
over all other Florida ports in the valua-
ton of exports during the month of Febru-
ary. according to the statement issued from
the offic. of Judge J. F. C. Griggs, collector
of customs for Florida This report shows
the valuation of shipments to foreign coun-
tries from Pensacola to be 81 100000, while
all Other. Florida ports combined do not
reach quite $1,0O0000 In other words
shipments from Pensacola during the
month Of February were just 100000
more than from any other Florida port.
Heavy shipments of rosin and naval
stores, together with export ofover twenty
million feet of lumber and timber and
large quantity of cross ties, made the past
months valuation reach enormous proper
tons.
This is but another evidence of the fact
that is being brought out again and again,
in various ways, that Pensacola is the lead
ing port of the state, and that this city is
yet to rank as the leading city of Florida
before many years have passed.
Nothing can hold Pensacola back from
taking the place that rightfully belongs to
her through the wonderful natural advan-
tages which this city enjoys And the day
of Pensacola's prosperity is not in the dis
tant future-it is so near that already can
be heard the march Of the onconing hosts
who are destined to take part in this city's
development.

yards, Mare Island and Puget sound
got S7,8o4,s9S; the Philippines got
$3.50, 4s8. This makes total Of S4o,-
765,444 for the United States naval
stations altogether, and only ss16,512
of that to be spent in the South To
me this smacks very loudly Of sec
tionalism and favoritism-one or
both.
Uncle Sam seemed, under Republi-
cans, always to have money to take
care of the navy everywhere except
south of Hatteras; yet the stretch of
coast from Hatteras to Key West and
from Key West to the mouth of the
Rio Grande is more than 1000 miles
and has three or four good harbors.
This whole subject of the neglect Of
the south Atlantic and Gulf cost by
the navy department has been ably
and fully treated in an article by Adj
miral John R. Edwards, which / had
printed as a public document. Adj
miral Edwards is an accomplished
engineer and his breadth of view end
patriotic impulses led him to defend
and champion the Charleston harbor
and the Charleston navy yard, as well
as Pensacola navy yard, along with
other yards, because he feels that
they are of vital importance to the
healthy and permanent development
of the United States navy. He be-
lieves any scheme of preparedness
which does not take these two yards
into consideration is woefully lacking
in breadth of view and far-sighted-
ness.
I feel that to neglect to equip these
two yards as they should be under
conditions as they now exist would
be crime and almost calamity. 1t
will naturally be believed and charged
1 am interested in Charleston only
because It is in South Carolina. That
statement has been made so often
and so repeatedly I have gotten used
to it; but I thank God I can look
north of Mason and Dixon's line as
well as south Of it; and am endeav-
oring, as chairman of the naval COM
n1ittee, as was proved by my works,
to have the New York navy yard
made accessible. I want to build an
armor plant at Philadelphia, on
League Island, because I believe it is
the best place, and I shall vote fo1
the new dock proposed for Norfolk.
am endeavoring now to have the navy
yard at Bremerton fully equipped fol

and urged the equipment Of Mare
Island to build battleships. In tbs
name Of God, are men so narrow anC
selfish and so sectional that they
can not forget the past and still wan
to cherish hatred for the South, anC
South Carolina in particular? Dr.
we pay no taxes7 ask this question
because feel very strongly on thiI
particular subject; but I do not be
lieve very many, or any senator
now entertain any such feeling.

Old Rags and Papers May
Be Source of Pin Money

Something like $4,000 tons of different
kinds of paper and paper board are manu-
featured every day in the United States
and large proportion of this, after it has
served its purpose, could be used over again
in some class of paper. A large part of it,
however, is either burned or wasted. This
of course has to be replaced by new ma
terials.
In the early history of the paper industry
publicity was given, to the Importance of
saving rags. 1t is of scarcely less impor-
lance now, and the Department of Com
merce is calling attention to the fact that
there is a serious shortage of raw material
for the manufacture of paper, including
rags and old papers. The president of a
large manufacturing company has urged
the department to make known that the
collecting and saving of rags and old papers
would greatly better existing conditions

Florida Receiving Valuable Publicity
Through Alabama Newspapers

Alabama is taking cognizance of the fact
that Florida has forged to the front as no
other state has, during the past decade. Re
ferring to this, the Montgomery Adver-
tiser says:
For all of the fun we poke at Florida
the fact remains that for decade she
has been more enterprising than Ala
bama, though possessing resources by
no means equal to our own She is
peopling her counties with good
Americans from all parts of the United
States. She has become the leading
winter resort state in the Union. She
IS specializing in horticulture, agricul-
ture and stock raising with results
that she is in touch with the markets
of the world.
Florida achieved her distinction by
letting the world know what she had
for sale.
Will Alabama profit by Florida's ex-
perience?
The Journal cannot agree with the Ad-
vertlser that Florida is less rich in resources
than Alabama, but will admit the conten-
ton that Florida is up and doing. And the
sudden awakening of Alabama to this fac
is giving this state some very valuable pub
licity.

buildings there as disciplinary bar
racks. If Mr.. Meyers policy had been
continued, this valuable property,
costing over million dollars, would
have gone to waste or been sold by
him for a song like the floating dry
dock at Pensacola.
With regard to that flating dry
dock and what Secretary Meyer sold
it for, I have just received letter
from the secretary of the navy fiving
full details officially from the records.
The letter referred to is as follows:
The Secretary of the Navy,
Washington, March 20, 1915.
NV Dear Senator Tillman: In re-
Spouse to your request for informa-
ton concerning the history Of the
floating dry dock which was formerly
stationed at Pensacola, Fla, I give
you the following from the records
of the department:
An act of congress, June 7, 1900,
authorized the purchase of this dry
dock from the government of Spain
for a sum not to exceed $275,000 The
dock was inspected by board Of Of
ficers in January, 1901, and in July,
1901, the purchase was effected, and
title acquired in September at a cost
of $195, 900, the dock being delivered
to this government at Havana, Cuba.
1t was at this time in need of extern
sive repairs. Certain necessary re-
pairs were made at Havana, to fit
the dock for transfer to the United
States, and in November, 1902, it was
towed to the navy yard, Pensacola.
Further repairs were made thereafter
to fit the dock for service. The total
expenditures were as follows:
Purchase ...............S1 95, 100000
Towage ............. 35,000.00
Repairs ................. oo,OOO.OO
Turned into treasury ..... 22.35
100000
The Pensacola navy yard was
closed, by order of Secretary Meyer,
on October 20, 1911, and in February,
1912, the dry dock was advertised for
sale. On March II, 1872, bids were
opened, as follows:
w. M. Evans, Mobile, Ala. .s31 800
Ollinger-B Bruce Dry Dock Co.. $1,000
James Shewan & Sons, N. Y. 28,050

Ia, Fla. .................. 5000
Gregory Wrecking & Con-
structing Co., Perth Amboy. 1000
i The dock was accordingly sold to
w. NJ. Evans for S31, 500. James
Shewan & Sons, New York, purchased
the dock from W. NJ Evans at a fig
ure reported to be between 10000
and $4,000.
A month or six weeks ago re-
ouested the commandment Of the New
York navy yard to ascertain the pres
emit condition of the dock, and was
informed that its owners, James She
wan & Sons, reported it to be IN al
most daily operation. It would ap-
pear, therefore, that at the time Of its
sale the dock was competent to render
valuable service, at least for many
years.
Sincerely, yours,
Joseph Daniels.
