Florida Press Opinion,
Everything is Lovely Over Here.


The four-cornered celebration of the centennial
of Florida. advocated by Tampa. has been tossed
into the discard by the fact that the law passed by
the legislature, creating the centennial commission,
provides that it shall held some city in the
state to be selected by the commission. That dis
poses of that bugaboo, which would have wrecked
the plan of the real centennial exposition and would
have been of benefit to the state, except to
show off to the regular tourists what each Of the
cities could do.
There been some change plans Of
Jacksonville because of the fact that the commits
sion delayed in making its visit to Pensacola
and does not to Jacksonville until Tuesday.
The committee of fifteen authorized by the mass
meeting Thursday appointed, but the names OF
the committee have not been given out as is is
claimed better work be done by this committee
if it is unhampered by the many ideas of the public.
The committee of fifteen will meet the commission
Tuesday forenoon, drive them around Jacksonville
so they view the different sites available, then
they will adjourn to the Seminole hotel. where a
luncheon will be served to 200 prominent and repre-
sentative business and professional of the city
In the afternoon the committee will go into con-
ference with the commission and present all the
data concerning desrability of Jacksonville as
location for the centennial exposition; the ability
of the city and county in conjunction with the state
and government, to finance and carry this big
fair that will prove the greatest advertisement for
Florida planned and which should result in in
creasing the population of state to the hun
dreds of thousands and to satisfy the commission
that this is the logical location for such inter-
national fair exposition
There has been talk of differences Of
opinion and interest the getting of the
exposition for Jacksonville but that will almost in
variably turn up when any big thing is under dis
cussion. Friction is inevitable in affairs of public
nature, but the time for that has passed and the
really big of the city should take hold of this
project and carry it to successful completion.
If that kind of the committee that will
make the presentation to the commission, there will
be doubt about where the Florida Centennial Ex-
position will be held.-Jacksonvile Times Union.
