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. 9 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.

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.
