ing reading, not only for political as.
pirants but for the public generally.
The white primary for municipal
nominations is the outgrowth of q
practically unanimous demand on the
part Of the white citizens of Pensaco
la, and the action of the county com
mittee in providing for it has been
commended on all sides.
The date which the city committee
sets for the first primary is Tuesday,
April 4, and should a second one BE-
necessary it viii be held Tuesday,
April %. This last primary will be
six weeks before the city election,
which is held on June 6.
The citizens of Pensacola are to be
congratulated on the prospects which
the white primary presents for clean
campaign and the nomination of good
candidates. The primary should have
been adopted long ago, but everyone
will agree that its attractive features
have lost nothing by the delay and

in jeopardy of their lives for another
period of years.
Superintendent Hare, in his report
just published, says:
Florida alone has her blind and
deaf school in wooden buildings and
heated by the ordinary wood heaters,
and lighted with kerosene lamps.
The school rooms are insufficient,
poorly lighted for cloudy days. The
girls dormitory and the dining-room
are badly crowded. Nearly every
year a lamp explodes. Nothing but
the most agonizing watchfulness of
the management and a merciful over
ruling Providence have prevented Sc
rious conflagrations We have the ne
gro school in building in the same
yard. No other southern state SO
mixes the races, and Florida does not
allow schools for the two races for
normal children on the same lot. The
good of both races require an entire
separation in their social and school
life-at any rate in the south.
We have less than five acres of
land. On this are. crowded all the
buildings, the garden, the stock, the
white and negro schools. Is it wise to
add more wooden structures, increas-
ing the great danger to the health
and lives of the students?"
The above quotation contains sufti-
cient reasons for arousing pubic SEN
timent in the behalf of this school to
the end that the legislature will APP
propriate a sum large enough to meet
all necessities and provide for these
afflicted scholars in manner which
will insure their safety and improve
the methods of training.
Too long has this duty been neglect
ed. The citizens of Florida should
demand that no further delay be per-
mitted, and the burden of shame caus.
ed by disregard for the lives and we'll
being of helpless children be lifted

DIFFICULTIES OF
PANAMA ROUTE.
Memphis Commercial-Appeal.
4 Z a; q z e & e ga; "a

On more than one occasion the
Trans-Isthmisn Canal Commission re-
ported extensively in favor OF ca
nal with locks and drains, wnetner IL
was built at Panama or Nicaragua.
The sea level canal was CONSIDERED
out of the question, because OF the
expense. and it was saiGl that either
route was feasible. On the strength
of these reports, congress declared IN
favor of a canal about two years ago,
and authorized its construction on
the basis of3an expense OF about SI6O'-
100000. including what was TO be ald
&c the Panama Company and the re
public" of Panama. The $5O,0OO,OOO
required by these two concerns has
been paid, and some work mas, we
believe, been done.
And now having embarked on the
project, the Canal Commission comes
in with the report that a sea level
canal must be built. II is estimated
that this will cost $223,000,000; but it
is invariably the case that these estl-
mates are unQer the mark. II is sale
to say that $500 900, 900 would be near
er correct. This would make the
total cost of the canal between $780,
100000 and $350,0G0,000. Further
more it will take between fifteen and
twenty years to finish the sea level
canal
Senator Morgan, the Commercial
Appeal and others pointed out all the
difficulties in the way of the Panama
route two years ago. The difficulties
prove to be even greater than we pre-
dicted; for it now appears that the
canal with locks and dams is conSiu-
cred practically impossible. 1t seems
singular that this discovery was not
made by the government before we
embarked in the enterprise; but we
think the people of the United States
should know what they are up against.
The worst feature about it is that
it is difficult TO find way out of our
dilemma. If we abandon the Panama
route, We lose a clean $4,000, 600. Ana
We cannot be sure that the Nicarau-
ga route is feasible. The engineers
were mistaken, sadly mistaken, about
Panama, and they may have been mis-
taken about Nicarauga. We do not
believe they were in the latter case,
but, of course, our conviction in a
matter of this kind is not very valu-
able.
1t looks as if We would have 10
keep right on pouring money into the
bOttomless Panama sinkhOle. The
United States knows no such word as
fail and the Panama canal will be
built, if We make up our minds not to
abandon It for the other route. But
We have got to face the proposition to
build a S300,000,OO0 canal that can
hardly be finished inside of twenty
years. To this favor must we come
because. of the headlong impetuosity
of the administration.

NEGROES AT
The INAUGURAL.

A great deal of comment has been
called forth by the announcement that
negro regiments would take a promi.
nent part in the inaugural parade at
Washington to-day and the rumor that
many negro bellies would grace the
inaugural ball with their presence.
The Montgomery Journal has the fol
lowing to say upon the subject:
It is authoritatively announced
from Washington that negro regi-
ments are not only going to take a
prominent part in the parade at the
inaugural, 10 which of course there
could be no very serious objection,
but that negroes are invited to the
inaugural ball, that tickets are for
sale to them as to others, and that
this is by the express wish Of the
president.
When Judge Jones returned from
Washington. where he had a personal
interview with the president, he
gave out a statement which, If it did
not clearly state that the president
had had a change of heart toward the
south and toward the negro, at leas.
was calculated to mislead the people,
and did mislead great many people
concerning the presidents future poll.
cy. The Journal, in justice 10 Judge
Jones at the time, so generally had
his interview been misunderstood. ex-
planned that he did not pretend to
quote the president, but simply gave
the impressions created on his mind
by the presidents talk as to the pres
3dent's changed attitude on those
questions Of such serious concern to
the south.
Among other things, and which was
so misleading when not taken in con.
nection with other parts of Judge
Jones's interview, Judge Jones saio
concerning the Booker Washington
dinner incident:
No man now realizes more acutely
than he does the improper differences
which ignorant negroes draw from
such an incident, and the change
which might thereby be effected in
their relations to their white neigh
bors, and in public tranquility and
contentment in the race relations and
conditions in the south"
The Journal, in the face of over
whelming opinion to the contrary, not
only in this state, but in other south
err states, expressed the opinion that
Judge Jones may have misunderstood
the president. In fact, the Journal
boldly eontended that he had misun-
derstood the president. This opinion
was shared by but few people then.
but time has vin0fcated the Judge
ment of the Journal.
If Theodore Roosevelt had so
changed as Judge Jones had eonclud.
ed, and no doubt had a right to con.
clude from the presidents interview

No man now realizes more acutely

STATE RESTS
IN BOUNTY CASE
Defense Raises Point That Corpus
Detcti' Is Not Proved.
MORE ARGUMENTS TODAY
SHERIFF EMERY TESTIFIES AS
TO CONFESSIONS.

The prosecution in the bounty fraud
hearing rested its case yesterday after
noon. At the conclusion of the states
testimony Attorneys McGurrin and
Gustin for the defendants, VIII z. Phil
lips and David B. Davies, arose ana
moved the court that the testimony of
the witnesses. Harry J. Roberts,
Charles w Jones and Sheriff c. Frank
Emery be stricken from the record on
the ground that the corpus delicti,' or
the crime itself, conspiracy, had not
been proved.
All the testimony of the three wit
nesses had been introduced by the state
under protest from the attorneys for
the defendants. and was finally admit
ted only on the promise of the county
attorney that the corpus deficit" would
be proved by independent testimony
later on. Roberts and Jones, under the
meaning of the law are accomplices,
and the sheriff testified as to confess
siOnS made by the defendants, Davies
and Phillips. The attorneys were still
presenting their motion when adjourn
ment time came. and they will continue
with it this morning If the defense IS
successful in this motion it will mean
that Phillips and Davies viii walk out
of the court room free men, The mo-
ton is in effect equivalent to one for
dismissal, as the testimony of three
witnesses mentioned above constitutes
the entire case for the prosecution. All
the rest introduced was merely cor
roDOrative. The intense interest which
had permeated the court room the day
before was absent yesterday. Every
one settled back with a more or less
tired expression on their faces, and
looked as though they wanted the case
to come to an end. The real STORY was
