PENSACOLA’S AWAKENING
The story of the awakening of Pen
sacola—destined to be one of the
greatest of the ports to the Panama ca
nal—reads like a romance, and gives
striking testimony to the value of pub.
Ilclty to a community that really wants
to grow-. •—
Pcnjacoln possessed every requisite
for a great city—the natural advan
tages, a deep and weif protected har-
bort healthful climate and surround*
Ings and proximity to the soon-to-be-
completed Panama canal—possessed
also the energy the confidence and the
determination to do whatever was
needful to achieve results—but sjie
lacked the capital.
A publicity campaign was Inaugu
rated, and results were Immediate.
Advertising campaigns, pushed both
by Individuals' and by the city collect
ively, th.ru Its wide-awake, active and
hustling commercial association, have
keen under way far months and the re
mits hnve been amazing.
Outside capital has already begun to
pour Into Pensacola to help In that
work of development which, unless nil
signs fall, will mean the making of for
tunes for those who lend a hand In this
city-pushing enterprise.
Pensacolans ara not asking outsiders
to do anything they nre not reedy and
willing to do themselves, for every dot.
lar of outside capital that goes In Is
harked by rovers! more from within.
The Constitution today telli the story
cf Pensacola’s awakening, the result of
Its publicity campaign and what It ex
pects to accomptlth. <
With the best harbor on the gulf, or
South Atlantic, and ample railroad fa
cilities , It awaits but the completion of
the Panama canal to become one of the
most noted of all the American ports.

Pensacola will soon complete two more railroads, which, together with the existing transportation facili
ties by rail and water, will give this city the greatest shipping advantages on the Western Gulf Coast.
JTT The McLaughlin Road is now building the last eight miles, and will be opened in the very near future.
□I This road runs between Pensacola and Mobile, where it will connect with the New Orleans, Mobile
and Chicago Road.
J7T Another road is being built by the McGargle interest of Pittsburg, Pa. It will practically connect Pen-
Til sacola with Birmingham, thus opening the great Alabama Coal and Iron fields for the export trade to
the Orient and South America, and adding materially to Pensacola’s business activities.
JIT Pensacola, which has the most magnificent land-locked harbor on the Western Gulf Coast, is nearest to
TU the Panama Canal. This fact alone will establish the commeicial supremacy of Pensacola and make it
the most important shipping center op the Gulf of Mexico.
VOE CAN’T 00 WRONG INVESTING TOUR MONEY WHERE TOE
CAPTAINS OF INDUSTRY ARE SPENDING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
Events in Pensacola transpire fast and furious. Only re
cently property within seven blocks of the City Lots offered by
the Fisher Beal Estate Agency sold for $1,000 and $1,25Q a
front foot. Now it is the construction of two new railroads.
These tremendous activities bear eloquent witness of Pensacola's
rapid strides. Millions of dollars are required in building the
railroads, and unless a city offers an*.enormous volume of traffic,
the captains of industry do not invest. Builders of railroads fol
low the line of progress. Pensacola is progressive, showing a
great increase in population, in manufacturing enterprises, in
wholesale' and retail establishments.
The Fisher Beal Estate Agency offers ah exceptional oppor
tunity to large and small investors alike to share in'the wonder
ful profits how in store here. Never again will property be sold'
here at the present low prices.

They are within the city limits and only seven blocks from Palafox Street, the leading busi
ness thoroughfare of Pensacola. This is not suburban property as offered by others. Over 1,100
handsome homes are already erected on this tract, which has all the modern civic improvements.

I like the name of your paper. The

of all that I* beat In thli life. John

Cicero.” once .aid In the United Statee

waa that of blm from whom l de
rived my being. • • • Humanly spear

and of my wlahea; and whether for
weal or wo*. I am content to .hare the
lot of her people." Game here!
We hear and gee much thcee daye of
the Dee Uolncs Idea, Initiative, refer
mission, and various political theories.
story teaches that theories
which have been popular In one year
are too often wrong and unpopular the
next year. It Is also a fact of political
history that the Swiss theory of gov
ernment waa first promulgated In the
United States by the Populist party,
and some Georgia newspapers, now
favoring It, tHen rejected It. The files
of certain newspapers for lfOX, to be
found at the state eapltol, are now
mighty Intereating reading.
lie not the Issue raised, by an assid
uously cultivated clamor for commis
sion government for Atlanta, but a
plain effort to overthrow representa
tive government? Why not, while we
are at It, “go the whole hog” and say
that our state and national goverraental
machinery are both archaic and worm-
eaten? Those old men who laid the
mud-ellls of our government JJ5 yean
ago. sometimes called patriots and
statesmen, and those who have followed
old and proved methods and kept the
ship of state off the breakers to this
good day, probably knew what they
were doing. The writer does not be
lieve that the people mf this state and
this nation are quite ready to substi
tute a popular vote for a written con
stitution. The people are not yet will
ing that a mere majority under pri
mary bosses, the moat tyrannical of all
bosses, shall Initiate and enact only
such laws aa are pleasing to the afore
said bosses, and to recall any judge
who dares to stand for the Ideals and
traditions of the fathers of this repub
lic. The only guarantee the minority
has la the guarantee of the constitution.
The people are not yet willing to de
stroy that ark of the covenant. Hla-
tory shows not one single government
founded upon majority rule without a
written constitution, which has sur
vived the generation In which It was
bom. All liberty muar be regulated
by law and no pure democracy can
exist without limit or control. The dell.

stitution.
The advocates of some of these so-
dalist-popullst theories are raising the
hypocritical howl. "Let the ‘people
rule!” Who has ruled, If not the peo
ple? If.we have bosses in Atlanta, In
Georgia, or In the United States, who la
responsible but the people who placed
the bosses In power? Eternal vigilance
Is the price of liberty, In every nge and
clime. If bosses are permitted to exist
under our present old constitutional
safeguards, would we have no bossei
under new governmental theorlee? Any
eight-year-old schoolboy can give the
answer. The charge that democratic
