New Feature
for Sunday journal.

1t is with pleasure that The Journal
announces a new, and, what is be-
lieves will be, a most interesting fea-
ture for its Sunday edition. This fea-
ture will consist Of one or more arti-
cles each Sunday detailing the Per
sonsl Recollections of an old Settler"
Enough of these articles have now
been secured, and enough more have
been promised, to make the feature,
The Journal believes, a permanent
one. and the papers readers may con-
sequently look for it every Sunday.
The widespread interest and COM
ment which followed the appearance
of Ex-Msyor Anderson's article in
The Journals Christmas Edition in
duced The Journal to ask for other
contributions of similar nature. One
of these, that of Prof. Allen, appeared
last Sunday and another one, the first
of a series by Superintendent n. B.
Cook, of the county schools, appears
on the first page of the second section
today.
AS these personal recollections are
read they will no doubt awaken train
of thought along similar lines in the
minds of a great many Of our readers,
and The Journal would be glad to have
them also contribute to the interest
ing series. Anything connected with
men, events, or incidents in the his
tory of Pensacola or West Florida will
prove enjoyable reading for both
young and old, and that is the kind Of
reading The Journal wants.
Every "old settler" is therefore in
vited to contribute and to help make
Pensacols's only metropolitan paper
a credit to the whole section.

A FAR-FELcHED CRITICISM OF
Ma. BRYAN AND THE PRESIDENT

It is with some surprise that we
note the Montgomery Journals criti-
cism of Mr.. Bryan for calling upon
President Roosevelt and for express
ing approval of the presidents posi-
ton on the control Of the railroads.
Our Montgomery contemporary seems
20 look at the matter in very pecu-
liar light when it says:
Mr.. Bryan has hitherto been given
credit by both friend and foe for never
having made a political mistake; but
paying a personal visit TO the presi-
dent. even though he approved the
presidents alleged policy of tariff re-
form and control OF railroads, was
one of doubtful propriety.
Theodore Roosevelt is playing 4
game of politics. pure and simple, and
Mr.. Bryan should not have lent him
self TO him in his game of fraud and
deception. In the innocence of his
soul, and judging the world by his
own standard. Bryan was misled.
The Journal can only see harm from
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1905-02-05

the visit. 1t was Mr.. Brayn's first po-
litical mistake, still it is a mistake
that confuses and confunds his oppo-
nents. But Mr.. Bryan had no such
motive in the visit. He is too honest
a man TO have had any other than 4
pure motive, and that was to encOur-
age the president to persevere in what
he conceived to be right. He did not
know that the president was feign-
ing; that he was simply playing to
the gallefies.
This, it appears to us, is about the
most far-fetched criticism we have
ever seen and it does an injustice both
to Mr.. Bryan and President Roosevelt
So far as Mr. Bryan is concerned
The Journal here takes the liberty 0f
expressing the hope that the time will
never come when any citizen OF the
commonwealth, no matter what his
politics or station. may not with pro-
priety visit the president of the Unit
ed States and with equal propriety ex-
press approval of the presidents posi-
ton on any subject when such position
is worthy of approval.
And so far as President Roosevelt is
concerned, The Journal will also take
the liberty of extending to him its con-
fidence in his good intentions until
events shall prove that such confidence
has been misplaced.
1t does not seem. TO occur to a great
many of our contemporaries that if
newspaper or a public man may
with propriety criticise the position
of the executive or disapprove of it,
they may with equal propriety COM
mend and. approve it. In this case,
Mr. Bryan has done just what the great
majority of citizens of every class ali
over the country will approve
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1905-02-05

rooms full almost the year around
Local capitalists seem to have over
looked the fact that Pensacola has
grown wonderfully in the last five
years and that outside travel to the
city has probably increased three-fola
during that time They have also
overlooked the fact that a good hotel
in a good town is one OF the most
profitable enterprises in which a man
can engage.
The Journal hopes that our present
lack of hotel facilities may be Of
short duration and that before an
other tourist season opens up the de-
ficency will be supplied.

Postmaster N0FfhUp

1.-THE reeores Of the Pensacola pest
office show that there was paid by
The journal during the year 1904 for
newspaper postage s276.5s, for 27,5s5
pounds of matter.
"The aggregate amount Of newspa-
per and periodical postage collected
by this offico For the same period was
s42s.73, representing 1928 pounds"
When analysed these figures show
,aat the newspaper mail entered al

From these postofflce- records it viii
- be seea 4hat The Journal circulated
through the mail over 81 per cent.
of the total second class matter en-
tered az Pensacola for the year 1904.
In other words. it lacked only per
cent, of circulating twice as much mat
ter as sllfhe other publications in the
city combined.
The Journals circulation is now
much larger than it was then. In
1904. the year for which Postmaster
Northup's records are given, The
Journals, average circu,ation was
3.54o copies daily. Its circulation now,
however, lis over 4,ooo copies daily,
with Sunday circulation of over
1900 copies.
These figures demonstrate that The
Journals read by more thar two times
the number of people than read all Of
the other city publications combined
This is a powerful argument to the
advertiser 10 consolidate his advertjs-
Ing in the paper which is read by more
than two parsons where all the others
combined are read By only one.
