| people, plus, with a hundred mill
lion dollars of ready money, certain
ly proves that Jacksonville has many
brilliant successful men who know
how to conduct trade and handle
money. Bank clearings are studied
everywhere, to gauge the sweep of
business, and while the clearings of
the United States as whole have in
the last five years increased six per-
cent, those of Florida in the same
time have increased 400 percent.
Jacksonville is perhaps the most
conservative city In the state. While
Palm Beach, Miami, and other
places have taken great steps, with
much ado, Jacksonville has rapidly
developed without noise. London.
Liverpool and New York grew in
evitabIy, because of their location.
This Is also true of Jacksonville.
Situated at the mouth of the st.
Johns, with 80 feet of water at the
bar, great docks and storage facili-
ties for commerce, ships from many
nations coming and going, and all
the railroads from the east and west
having their terminals here, the city
was by nature destined to be the
New York of the southern Atlantic.
1t is the largest shipping port of
naval stores in the world. Recently
a great vessel sailed out of her port
with fourteen thousand barrels of
spirits of turpentine, for the English
trade. Report says that billion
feet of sawed lumber go out of this
port every year. Freighting by WA
ter from New York assists the large
wholesale trade of Jacksonville,
whose great houses supply nearly
the trade of the whole state and
ship largely to southern Georgia and
eastern Alabama. The wholesale

trade of Jacksonville during 1924 ID
said to have been thirty millions
and 1t is increasing at the late oi
five millions year.
The st. Johns river is a beautiful
stream with high commanding
banks, and Is a mile wide at Jack
sonyille. improvements are going on
along its banks, and 1t is certain In a
few years to be lined with factories,
towns, and beautiful homes for 100
miles from it's mouth at the Atlantic.
Several years ago, plan was sub
! mitted to bridge 1t at Jacksonville,
by selling bonds, making it toll
bridge until paid for. Many shook
their heads, but I urged all my
friends to vote for 1t. ] said this
river must be bridged some time.
Cattle and sheep cannot be taken
across by ferry. let us bridge it now
while we are alive. and can have the
pleasure of crossing 1t. The vote
carried and the bridge was opened
for travel in April, 1921. 1t is built
high so that steamers can pass under
it, and is fine observatory. A fine
view of the great river for miles up
and down the stream and birds
eye view of Jacksonville and South
Jacksonville Is obtained. The bridge
cost twelve hundred thousand dol
lars, and it was thought 20 years
would be required to get toll enough
to redeem the bonds. But the travel
has been SO enormous, that we are
all surprised. Besides paying the
expense of collecting and care TAX
ing, already $569,189 have been ap-
Piled ON the payment-nearly half
the full sum. Ten thousand autos
cross the bridge on an average every
day in winter, and a larger number
in summer when the masses fly to

BIG SUCCESS
Private Demonstration of New
OrthOpmOnic Talking Machine
Held at CarrOlPs Last Night

One Of the outstanding musical
events of the season was private
demonstration Of a new and revolu-
tionary type of talking machine given
before prominent citizens, musicians,
music teachers, educational authOri-
ties and newspaper representatives
last evening, at Carroll's. A varied
and comprehensive musical program
was arranged to demonstrate the ca
pacities of the new instrument in ev-
every field. The selections ranged
from vocal solos to full band and or
chestral ensembles, with a plentiful
admiXture of dance and speciality
selections
First on the program was the
Soldiers Chorus" from Faust, sung
by a full male chorus Of forty, as
against the maximum number Of
twenty-five possible under the old
method. This selection is notable in
that it carries the tenors to B flat,
and has a very deep and strong bass.
After it had been played first upon
the new instrument and then upon the
old, a burst of laughter testified to
the striking contrast in range, volume
and richness of tone. In this case, as
in the following selections, the per
formance Of the Orthophonic Talking
Machine was greeted with waves Of
applause from listeners.
The next selection was a Paul
Whiteman number pal Of Ny
Cradle Days." a waltz whose deep
and melodious tonal gradations CON
trasted with the brisk and sparkling
vocal duet which followed. This nov
city, 81 Miss My SWISS" was sung
by the Happiness Boys, affording a
fine example of what is now possible
in the way of capturing rapid dia-
logue and fine nuances of tonal ex-
preston. The very difficult repro
duction of the rs" sounds was unusu-
ally clear.
A piano solo by Aired Cortot, fam
Gus French pianist, was next in or
der. This selection-Chopin's beauti-
full "Valse in c Sharp Minor
heartily applauded, as it indicated
very striking the complete elimina-
ton of the objectional "bango twang'
noticeable in almost all previous piano
recording. The full, rich tones of the

Dawes Scheme
To Gag Senate
Is Condemned
Reaction Is Behind Him to Dis
credit the United States
Upper House

Atlantic City - Vice President
Dawes attempt to gag free speech in
the senate was declared by the A. F.
of L. convention to be Gin the inter-
est of the reactionary element that is
seeking to control legislation" A
sizzling condemnation of the plan
was unanimously adopted.
1t was pointed out that the demand
for senate cloture does not come
from the people, but from predatory
interests.
"The railroad industry, the great
oil industry, and other great indus
tries in the United States want to
make it possible for handful of mer
to control all legislation" the com
mittee said. at is a vicious purpose
to which the vice president of the
United States has loaned himself.
Labor is not deceived. Labor
knows what is behind the move to
abolish free speech in the senate
''In the house they have cloture. A
former leader of the dominant party
in the house pointed out to a repre-
sentative Of the A. F. of L. that lib
eral legislation required II to l5
years for its passage, while legisla-
Cion in support of special privilege
could be passed in a week of two
through the cloture exercised in the
house. If the rules committee OBJ
jects to legislation in the house, it is
Impossible to bring it before that
body.
"Your committee believes that the
ulteriOr purpose behind the agitation
for the abolishment of free speech in
the senate is a scheme of the reac-
tionary, backward looking interests to
control all legislation. We therefore
recommend that every means be TAX
en- to expose this un-American pro-
pcsal. The people should be inform
ed that the agitation is not in their
interests"

Atlantic City-President Green and
the entire executive council were

George w. Perkins, president of
the Cigarmakers' International union,
who nominated his fellow delegate

John l.. Lewis, president Of the

ident Green was given an ovation

Frank Duffy, r. A. Rickert, Jacob
Fischer, Matthew Vol, Martin F.

an; secretary, Frank Morrison, and

trict, United Mine Workers, as fra
.crnal delegates to the 1926 conven-
ton of the British Trades Union Con-

The Sewer Bonds

The referendum vote on the
S4OO, 900 sewer bond issue is in
conformity to the plans adopted
and recommended by the Cit
zens Committee composed OF
representatives of the Chamber
of Commerce, Labor organlza-
tions and service clubs, after a
number of meetings to inVestl-
gate and discuss the situation;
That the city needs sewers, and
needs them badly, is not denied
by anyone, and the plans pro
posed were deemed the best So
luton of that perplexing prob
lem.
The money raised by the pro
posed bond issue, if approved by
the voters, is expected to cover
the cost of installing all trunk
line sewers, which is made
mandatory by the state board OF
health. The outfall sewers and
the disposal plant VIII come laC-
er and will cost in the neighbor-
hood of 100000.
The necessity of voting upon
the bond issue is due to the fact
that it will place the levy outside
the tax limit, and should the city
be forced to make this improve,
ment without additional funds
it would be badly crippled fol-
want of money to carry on the
other municipal functions.
1t is to be hoped that all citi-
zens having the real interest OF
the city at heart, will favor the
