AS TO FLOWERS AT FUNERALS.
 This paper wants to knock on the use of flowers at funerals. It has become the popular thing to say that if we have flowers to bestow we should give them to our living friends rather than wait until they are dead and then send flowers to the funeral. It is also said that if we have kind words to speak of our neighbors we should speak them out while they are living and can ap- preciate them nd be pleased. The

 Bankruptcy Case-Other Items.
 Judge Cleaveland yesterday listened to testimony in the contest between the widow and children of the de- cedent and his former partner, Joseph Webb, colored, over the sS,OOO estate left by Samuel Knox, colored, a former ash collector. Knox in 1896 had will drawn up by George Coombs, a grocer at Orchard street and Whalley avenue. MT. Coombs is a lawyer but is not en- gagged in practice. In this will Knox left practically his whole estate to Webb. It is claimed, however, that Knox had quarrel with Webb subse- quent to making this will, and the doc ument was tofA in two pieces. The document was yesSerday tendered as evidence by Webb. It was pasted upon a piece of paper to hold it together. The witnesses to the will were James Keefe and R. W. Chambers. Both testified that at the time the will was drawn Knox, in their opinion. was of sound mind. The relatives of Knox declare that Webb obtained the property by fraud and undue influence. -.

| interests have ceased to be competi
tive. that argument has been swept
away and this, coupled with the grow
ing arrogance and intolerance of the
railroad corporations in what they
have looked upon as the absolute Sc
curity of their interests, has made the
times particularly ripe for a change in
public sentiment-and that change has
come-brought on by the railroads
themselves.
In this connection, the following
comment, and somewhat on the same
lines, from the Birmingham Ledger
will prove interesting:
President Truesdale. of the Lacka'
wanna & Western railroad, in an arg1.
ment against the power to fix rates by
| the interstate commerce commission,
says that it means such public control
as will mean public ownership. That
view has been held by others. Senator
Bailey, of Texas, holds the same view
from another standpoint.
Senator Bailey holds that the gov
eminent ownership of the Panama
road is precedent for government own
ership of all railroads. This is the
view of many publicists and states
men. 1t is certain that il the govern
ment begins to fix rates at all it will
end by fixing all rates. That would
preclude any further watering of rail-
road stocks and make the stockholders
of railroads in time, not only willing,
but DESTROYS of government ownership.
The Ledger has long held the idea
that public ownership of railroads will
come eventually, on demand of the
owners of the railroads. The govern
ment will eventually be called on to
control rates, rebates, mergers, and
conduct of the roads. Already the
combinations are gradually bringing
the roads in the direction of one man.
agement. and that will bring out such
popular resistance that the ultimate
result will be government control,
then the roads will demand govern
ment ownership and will get it.
This does not undertake to decide
the right or wrong of public owner
ship. but does mean to predict that
end.
This is the logic of the railroad rate
question which President Roosevelt
has brought so prominently before the
public. It is, in fact, the logic of the
whole ituation-consolidat on the
part of the companies means govern
ment control, and government control
ultimately means government owner
ship.

THE NEW CONVICT LEASE
AND AFTER THAT.

Governor Broward and the board OF
state institutions are entitled to cou-
siderable credit, we think, for the prof.
liable consummation of the convict
lease for the next four years.
For the past four years the convicts
have been leased at $151.50 per head
per annum. For the coming four-year
term they will bring $2O7.70 per head
per annum. This means an increase
of $500 per head per annum on
about LOO convicts, or a total in
crease of about s61, $4,000 per annum
or about s247, $4,000 for the four-year
term. This is the increase which the
new lease represents over the old
one. The total revenue to the state
for the four years will represent about
$91S,SSO, and many even reach a mil
lion dollars.
So far, so good. Governor Broward
and the board of state institutions had
nothing else to do but lease the cou-
victs-there is no other provision
made for them-and the governor and
his associates are to be commended
and congratulated for making the best
deal possible.
Now let the coming session of the
legislature make some other provision
when this new lease expires. The
lease system is a bad system-bad in
principle and frequently worse in prac-
tice 1t should be abolished. The con.
victs should not be worked in compe-
tition with free labor. They should
be employed on public works.
That, in brief, is the solution of the
question. 1t all depends on the Iegis-
lature as to whether or not it shall be
put into effect

A CLASS OF PEOPLE
WHO ARE NOT WANTED.

The opening Of the Carnival and the
prospective early arrival of the feet
will no doubt be the signal this week
for immediate activity on the part Of
the grafters, street fakirs, and transit
ent showmen who usually flock to the
city on such occasions.
The police ought to be able to take
care of the grafters and fakirs. In
most Of the cases of graft and fake, a
city license is provided sufficiently high
to shut this class of people out, ami
in the remaining cases they are direct
ly prohibited from doing business.
The police therefore can handle this
class and they will no doubt do it.
In the case of transient showmen,
the city ordinances provide a license
tax of twenty-five dollars Cs25.OO) per
day and it is presumed that not many
of them will find it profitable to pay
this license for many successive days.
Neither the people nor the business
interests of the city of Pensacola want
any of this kind of people here. The
latter have no interest in the city.
They leave no money here outside of
their board and laundry, ard many of
them get mighty little Of the latter
done anywhere.
Altogether therefore the city will be
particularly alive this year in looking
after its interests in the cases referred
10, and the city authorities will see to
it that the ordinances, as well as the
general police regulations, are rigidly
enforced.

INCREASING DIVERSION OF
TRADE TO SOUTHERN PORTS
louisville Courier-Journal.)

The Eastern and lake cities and the
railroads leading to them are very
much stirred up over the increasing
diversion of the export grain traffic
from the Atlantic to the gulf ports.
For many years, Notwithstanding the
latter are nearer to the grain fields,
and that their water transportation
should operate as an additional factor
as ports for shipping of grain to for
eign ports, preferential rates of lines
leading eastward and to the lake cities
have given the Atlantic seaports an
artificial prominence which is now
threatened by the more rational opera
ton of the natural laws OF trade. The
Southern and Western roads, which
have been the losers by the policy
which has so long been dictated by
Eastern capitalists, have OF late begun
giving rates to the golf ports which,
with the increased facilities of barge
shipment of grain down the Mississi-
ppi, has so diverted grain shipments
southwark as to make New Orleans a
close competitor with New York for
the supremacy in the trade. Calves
ton Mobile and Pensacola are also
showing the good effects Of the change,
while Philadelphia, Boston and Balti-
more join in the complaint of decrease
in the grain business. From their
trade relations with these cities Chica-
go, Detroit. Toledo and Buffalo take
part with them in the complaint. The
result is a combined effort to check,
if possible, this diversion Of grain from
the East.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1905-03-05

OF course, it is natural that in suCn
a contest for trade the interested cities
should be expected to exert every
legitimate effort to promote their own
welfare. But the Eastern cities make
a mistake if they expect to control
this trade and divert it from the natur-
al channels by mere force Of their COM
mercial power and by dictatiOn to rail-
roads. If they can command such
rates over the lines leading eastward
as will warrant shipment there rather
than southwark, that is all well, but
their effort to induce or force the Yves.
ern and Southern roads to increase
their rates on Southern freights eau
not succeed. A Kansas paper points
out the folly of Chicago's expecting
Wichita TO ship wheat to New York
by way of that city when Chicago is
farther from New York than Wichita
is from Galveston. The argument aD-
plies with similar force to nearly all
points in the Mississippi Valley, leav-
ing out the competitive advantages of
the water route. Artificial policies n
these respects conduced by concentrate
ed Eastern capital, prejudice, and al
legged lack of facilities offered by
Southern ports have retarded these
trade developments already too long.
But the terminal facilities now pro-
vided, especially as regards elevators
and lines of European steamers as cap
able of handling the trade as those of
Eastern cities. have brought the prob
lem past the experimental stage, and
it cannot be thwarted now by any sucn
devices as have been resorted to.
