LET'S WILL AGAIN.

what are the ldTIueTS VI LISCd1lUld
county doing towards the success of
the county fair? That is one of the
most important questions for consid-
Grafton of every man in Escambia
county. Are farmers looking ahead to
the fair in the fall with the deter
mination of making it a better fair
than any we have ever held before? If
not, they are doing themselves and
the county a great injury.
What this section of the state needs
for it's development more than any
thing else is capital. Unless a city
has good back-country, it can never
attain to full and we'll rounded de-
velopment. Time was when the charge
was brought against Oscar bia county
that it was not an agricultural coun-
ty. But this was truely merely be-
cause the people of this section had
not given themselves to agricultural
pursuits. Escambia county has only
twice exhibited at the state fair, and
on both occasions carried off high
honors, last year winning the blue rib
bon, and the year before carrying off
third honors. Besides winning many
blue ribbons for individual exhibits
among which was that for Irish pota-
tings. Today Hastings potatoes are
selling in northern markets at twenty
dollars a barrel.
Not many years ago it vas thought
that potatoes could not be .profitably
raised in Florida. It took a woman to
discover that this was not true. She
planted her acres to Irish potatoes
and raised a rich harvest. Now Flor
ida is one Of the greatest potato mar
kets of the world.
Men who visited the fair at Molino
last year declared that the Irish po-
tato equaled the best that Iowa can
produce.
Escambia county cannot afford to
lose the honors which were won last
year: The silver loving cup must be
won continuously three times before it
becomes the property of the winner.
Will the farmers of Escambia county
allow these honors taken away from
them? We believe not.
But the farmers cannot do it all, and
it is not right that they should. The
fair association must have the sup
port of the business men, if the county
fair is to be success. And unless
it is success, there is no possible
way TO WIN the nOnOrS at JACKSONVILLE,
as the county exhibit will be carried to
the state fair. Escambia county needs
more farmers with scientific methods
and up to- date machinery. We need
men with some capital to settle here
to help in the development of the
county. Such men will not come to
us unless they are offered inducements.
And the best inducement in the world
is to prove to them that if they do
come and put their money into agri-
culture they will be rewarded with
returns on their invest
ment.
What has been done can be done.
That is the best proof. No matter
how small the farm, if the products are
standard, the man of sense knows that
it is simple thing to increase acre
age and production.
No better advertising Of this section
was ever received than that which has
come to us through the honors won at
the state fair. Let us not fail to go in
to win again this year.

Intelligent Advice.

The department Of agriculture is
urging farmers to plant sorghum and
make sorghum molasses as an aid in
supplying sweetening for the country.
In any section where corn will grow,
sorghum cane will grow, and the gov
eminent will send a copy Of a circu-
lar giving a brief summary of in
formation regarding the growing of
sorghum and the equipment neces-
sary for making syrup. 1t appears to
be right intelligent advice.-Miami Me-

Suffrage up to One Man.

Suffrage Up to One Man.
One man in Rhode Island, who ar
rived at the polls too late to vote in
the national election Of 1911, has been
charged with responsibility for the
war of 1912. His failure to vote re-
suited in the election of the represen-
tative who cast the deciding vote for
senator who in turn cast the deciding
vote for war. Similarly one federal
representative has been pointed to as
responsible for the failure to prohibit
slavery in the year 1884, and conse-
quently for the Civil War resulting
from slavery. One man, by his vote
breaking a tie in the house of repre-
sentatives, made Thomas Jefferson
president.
One man may be charged, too, with
the success or failure of the woman
suffrage amendment this year, and
with what ever results may ensure in
the presidential campaign. AS mat
tiers stand, Governor Clement of Yer
mont seems likely to bear the credit
or odium of it, as the case may be.
Thirty-five states have ratified the
amendment. Thirty-six states are
needed. The number will be made
up sooner or later; but if it is not
filled before the fall election, some
5000 900 or 10000, 900 women will not
be able to vote for president. Yer
mont is said to offer most promise of
three or four possible states. Reports
indicate that a majority in each branch
of the Legislature favors the amend
ment. But the legislature does not
meet regularly until next January.
Vermont women are trying to per-
suade the governor to call a special
session to ratify the amendment. Will
he do it? If he doesn't, he is likely
to be worried considerably. both before
and after election. Seldom it is in
the power of any man to make so
momentous a decision.-Ft. Myers

Press Comment
smithwick For CONGRESS.


One damaging feature in West Flor
ida politics is the folly Of changing
congressman every two years. It takes
a man the greater part Of such a term
to learn the ropes at Washington, so
that he can be of any service to his
constituents, and the longer he re-
mains there, the more valuable he be-
comes as representative and agent
Of the people.
This swapping horses in midstream
is most expensive proposition. and
West Florida should not make any
such foolish move in this campaign
for representative in Congress. j. H.
Smithwick' has, made good in Washing
ton, and should be returned. That two
other men want the place, just for the
glory Of it. certainly should not count.
You would not discharge an able and
trusted employee just because some
friend wanted the job. What we Of
West Florida want is a man in Wash
ington who is familiar with the bust
ness transacted there, and one who
has the confidence and cooperation of
officials and fellow members Of the
house. Smithwick Is such a man.
Neither of the other candidates know
anything about it. Then why throw
away our time and money in breaking
in new man?-St. Andrews Bay

McNEILL CAUGHT CARS
 FLYING DOWN HILL
(From Thursdays Daily)

Yesterday, a freight train. six miles south of Hillside, broke into two pieces. The fastest race of the season was therefore not on the program, but the engineer on seeing the trouble, and the train leaving him, going down hill at a rapid rate, un- dertook to capture the runaway cars, eleven in number. He was almost up to the cars when the one nearest the engine jumped the track, pulling three others off with it.
 In some way this dcraiiment al most stopped the other cars, and Conductor McNcill who had jumped to the ground, made another race that may become famous, for on foot he overlook the other cars and sue ceeded in stopping the runaways with the hand brakes.
 This was one of the worst spills and most peculiar miX-up of cars ever noted by some of the old timers who were discussing the case. In the whole affair DO one was injured in the least. and this was the only gratifying thing .to it. except the same old non-consoling observation, Tt might have been worse"

A precedent of years with J. E. Russell was broken yesterday when he secured the acquittal of Charlie Burrus and Pete Busich, Verde val ley ranchers, in spite of the fact he put neither of the defendants on the stand.
 Burrus and Busich had been charged by Steve Gallich with an as~ sault with intent to commit murder Gallich was alleged to have received a bullet wound through the leg dur ing a scuffle with the defendants.
 The case went to the jury late yes terday afternoon after argument, the defense putting on but one witness and then only asking a couple of questions, the materiality of which was questioned.

A second was vaccin- ated in 1900. A third was not vac cinated till six days after exposure to smallpox patient he was nursing. Two others were vaccinated but the vaccination did not take.
 This indicates that only two of the SO who were stricken had been pro- tected by vaccination and there was nothing in the reports to indicate when they had been vaccinated.
 Three deaths from smallpox were reported during these three months, two ill Maricopa county and one in Gila. All were young white women.

LOOP ROAD FOR SOUTH

 when there will be a double seen.

 One of these loops will. of cours be around through the Walker dis ,rict He says it is very feasible ar quite economical to build, as by tur

 lot take over two miles to conneC up with the present good roads TUT ling by the Sheldon and on int Walker, and then continue the roa on out to the connection with tn county road to Humboldt Mir Bra( ley, while strong for utility, or feede ~oads for the main highways, IS nc

 The other side of the loop woul follow the Senator highway up tn mountain to the Davis-Dunkirk roar and then follow that down to th Poverty mine. From there over { an existing grade of the old Jerse Lily road is only two miles or les by air line. Then some alteration md improvements on the old Jerse Lily road would make another fin drive tributary to Prescott, and woul cross the ground of a great many 0 the properties of the Jersey Lii. district.
 This last named road or loop ha been advocated by the operators O the NC4, Blauvelt, the Ruby Silver and by J. B. Tomlinson, all of whom have properties that would be direct ly benefited. But, some of thesr camps would have to build spur road out to connect with this loop road This, according to Mr. Bradley, ha been the policy of the mines in al these various districts, and IS prope policy.
 The coming election for count road bonds is being discussed b. miners and business men on ever hand, and these road remarks wer' brought out by a discussion on ths subject. Every one seems to have decided opinion upon the subject. AT gre agreed that more roads arr needed, and that a start must be made somewhere.

LABOR PROPOSES SWEENEY FOR
 J. 5. JUDGE
(From Wednesdays DailyJ


 The comment from the south of the state OF the proposed drive of union labor in the democratic pri- maries has an interesting local bear ing inasmuch as Superior Judge John J. Sweeney is mentioned in connec- ton with the second federal judge ship in Arizona.
 Judge Sweeney told the Journal Miner" yesterday that he had had endorsements of union labor for the position, but that he had never sought the appointment There will be a second United States judicial district created ill Arizona within short time," he said. Ire chances are, however, that the appointment will fall to a republican president.
 The labor program is enunciated by H. s. McCluskey, organizer for the Western Federation of Miners. It contemplates the withdrawal of Hunts appointment as minister to Siam and his candidacy for United States senator against Mark Smith. Rosa Mckay, the radical in the lower house from Cochise county is to be put up against Carl Hayden for con- grcssman. and either WinSor, Rob erts or Wiley Jones will be run for governor.
