is no questioning the attitude of these

stifled initiative, blocked progress and

politicians, the shallow pated dema-

West Florida is a very Eldorado of un-
developed resources, and one Of these
days the comparatively sparsely settled
section of the great state of Florida, ly-
ing between the Perdido and Suwanee
rivers, is going to witness a development
now undreamed of!
However, this much-to- be desired and
all-too - long deferred accomplishment,
will never be realized in FULL until sew
eral very vital things occur.
The first of these is a full awakening
of the citizenship of the section to the
wonders OF West Florida; and this &C
complished, also an awakening to q full
significance of'the fact that 'in unity
there is strength that to cooperative
effort nothing that is worth while is
impossible; that this development is ut

complishment within the allotted span
of men and women Of the present, unless
