THE JOURNALS CIRCULATION
STATEMENT FOR FEBRUARY.

II is with a great deal of satisfaction
that The Journal publishes today its
circulation statement for the past
month, February.
Ii was a record-breaking month for
The Journal in the average number Of
copies printed and it was also a record
breaking month for Journal subscTib-
ers in the excellence of the paper
which they enjoyed.
A comparison will show Just how
fast The Journal is going ahead. In
January, 1904, its circulation was
ass; in January, 1905, it was 3,91A.
In February, 1904, it was 1926; in
February, 1905, it was 4,2O7. This
shows a gain of GA for January over
the same month in 1904, and gain of
911 for February over the same month
in 1904. The gain for January over
December was 312, and the gain for
February over January was 295.
If The Journals circulation in
creases as fast during the months Of
! March and April as it did during Jan
1ary and February, The Journal will
celebrate the anniversary of the bat
tie of Manila with a circulation of
5000.
The Journal feels that its advertis-
ers are equally interested with itself
in seeing the circulation increase and
in being presented with a statement
showing just what that circulation is.
Circulation is what they pay their
money to a newspaper for, and an ad-
vertiser is entitled to know what he
IS gettin for his money just as much
as is the customer who buys a yard
of cloth or pound of sugar.
In all probability the circulation OF
The Journal is now nearly, if not quite,
three times as great as that of any
other daily paper which has ever been
published in Pensacola.

4 PLANS FOR A
kSEA LEVEL CANAL.

The recent decision of the Isthmian
canal commission in favor of a sea
level canal, upon the recommendation
I of Chief Engineer Wallace, is being
generally commended, especially so as
: the cost will be but little more than
for a canal constructed with numerous
locks, while the advantage TO COM

If the canal is so constructed that
these barriers will be unnecessary.

commission the Birmingham Age-Her-

The voters of this state chose their
officials few months ago, and the pol
icies which appealed to us then remain
with us still. That campaign was
characterized by the fullest possible
expressions of opinion and the issues
were all clearly drawn; the majority
had its choice and the minority ac-
quisced as in duty bound. Now, we
are all satisfied who are worth consid.

lie interests in good hands while we
look after our individual concerns.
OF course. we should not close our
eyes-of course we should give atten-
ton and express an opinion on all
public matters. but the supposition is
that everything is all right and will be
all right-nothing but the clearest
proofs should give us suspicion that
any of these officials coming directly
from the people. as they do, will do us
wrong or intend to do wrong. But
