AN IMPORTANT SUBJECT

/
subject that is receiving more and
more attention called to the State by
reason Of the advertising done by
both development companies and com
mittees that are live to the value
of letting the world know that they
are on the earth and have something
to offer in the way of advantages.
There was time when the outside
world pictured Florida as a vast wa
terry waste peopled by Seminole In
dians, backwoods Crackers alliga-
tors, venomous snakes and other
"varmints - We know from person
al experience that the man who had
seen Florida and had vision enough
to look into the future and see the
possibilities was laughed at as a
dreamer Of Dreams" his stories of
real conditions were regarded as
either the imaginings of a distorted
mind or pure fabrications and he had
hard work to obtain hearing IL he
made any attempt to tell what he
knew.
10 few men who had the courage
OF their convictions, who in spite of
openridicule and distrust kept ham,
mering away, belongs the credit for
the development that has been
brought about; they have been sue
cessful In their effort is testified to
by the prosperous cities that have
been built where before there had
been nothing but a~wilderness; thou
sands of acres of orange groves and
truck farms, netting the owner hand
some incomes, that are located on
lands that few years ago were re-
garded as practically worthless.
Enough has come to pass to Justify
the faith of the pioneer Floridian.
The Florida Cracker" has been found
to be capable progressive and valu-
able citizen when given the opportun-
ity to develop the forces that were
latent in the safe and needed but the
contact wieh othtr people. to bring
them into active exercise. When the |
chance came he was equal to the &C.
casion and was not slow in demon
strating the fact that lack of oppor- !,
tunity, not native inferiority, was
what had kept him down.
The Indian has either become a
"tiller of the Soil or keeps to his
reservation, gators and snakes are
rapidly being exterminated and he
who would see them in their native
lands must travel far and long to
satisfy his desire.
Yes Florida is at last coming into
her own. She was crowded GU. and

ways where there had been but sand

more people come to enjoy our un-
urpassed winter climate, appreciate
he advantages and finally decide to

of labor. equal opportunities and pay
for women. participating in manage
mont and ownership and abolition OF
