A GREATLY NEEDED
PIECE OF STREET IMPROVEMENT.

One of the greatest needs in the
line of street improvements in Pensa
cola, is the construction of an artifi
ciaI stone walk on the east side OF
Palafox street at its intersection OF
Garden street.
PaIafox street, from Garden street
south to the waterfront, is. the main
business thoroughfare of Pensacola;
and from Wright street south, it be-
comes the city's main artery of travel
for vehicles and pedestrians alike.
From the fact that the .city's popula-
ton is practically evenly divided east
and west. by Palafox street, the num-
Der of pedestrians daily visiting the
business section of the city from the
"east side" are consequently about
equal to those who reside west of Pal
afoz, but the least side" pedestrian is
by no means afforded the same facili-
ties 10 visit the business section in
comfort, as. are accorded his neigh
Dor on the 'west side"
During the latter months of the
Jones administration of city affairs,
substantial artificial stone walk was
constructed across Garden street at
its western intersection of Palafox
street. On the east side of Palafox
and Garden, however, nothing has
been done, and in rainy weather this
crossing would be considered in many
cities. wellnigh impossible for vehic-
les, to say nothing of pedestrians.
This condition was especially no
ticabIe, and its inconvenience most
keenly felt during the recent spell
of weather" II Mayor Welles wilt
give this much needed work his atten-
ton before his administration expires
he will earn the gratitude Of the hun
dreds of people who travel the east
side.

The women of Colorado are now up
in arms against this measure and
have organized a crusade to defeat
it. Inasmueh as the vast majority
of the applications for divorce come
from the feminine side of the fami-

women of Colorado should oppose
marriage law by which they can
shuttle off their matrimonial bonds

herd and they brought s1,S15, the av.
erage price being s151.25.
1t may be well to state, in explana-
ton of these prices, that the cattle
were sold for breeding purposes and
not for cold storage. But to the man
who raised them it mace no difference
what they were for-he got the price
and that was what he was after.
The purchasers were willing TO pay
the price because they know that,
whether they are raising cattle for
beef or for breeding purposes, they
can get more on any market for a
pure bred animal than they can for a
scrub and they know also that it costs
less to raise, feed, and fatten the for
mer than it does the latter.
Now the point that The Journal
desires to make is Just this: If South
Dakota cattlemen can raise pure bred
animals and sell them for an average
of $79.76, $3.50 and $151.25, Florida
cattlemen can do the same thing. If
other South Dakota cattlemen find
it profitable to pay those prices for
blooded stock in order to put their
herds on a blooded stock basis, Flor
ida cattlemen can also afford to pay
them.
The writer knows. from experience
in South Dakota and from observa-
tion in Florida that cattle can be rails
ed more proftably here than they can
there, and he knows also that a we'll
bred animal that will tip the scales
at l 200 or 1000 pounds can be raised
just as easily as a scrub that won't |
weigh over 600 or zoo pounds
The Florida cattleman can make |
money if he goes at it right just as
any other cattleman can. The thing
to do is to go at it right.

Eugene ". Debs;
Something Of His Past
and Views as TO Future

Eugene V. Debs is man of striking
personality. Tall, rather slender, and
with strong features, he is a man who
would be singled out in a crowd of
hundreds as leader, a thinker and
one who has the courage of his con-
victiOns. He is one of the most affa-
bic gentlemen whom it has ever been
my pleasure to meet, and his very
manner is evidence in itself that he
not only believes earnestly in the doc
trines which he advocates but that he
practices them as well, as far as it is
in his power to do so.
| had seen Mr.. Debs a number of
times during the past fifteen years
but, until l met him FRIDAY, had new
er spoken with him. When | was in
troduced to the gentleman, after the
first formal greeting, | mentioned the
fact that my father was prominent in
railroad circles and suggested that
possibly Mr.. Debs had met him
knowing, of course, that he had.

DO you mean to tell me-" said Mr..
Debs, that your father is B. Thomas.

Indiana railroad? Why, | have known
him for twenty-five years, and he is
the first man who ever did me a favor

up in just the same way, by the same
kind of men, and with the same kind
of material. In fact, some of the
men in The Journals mechanical de-
partment learned their trade and
worked at it on the metropolitan
dailies. They are experts in their line
and the pages of The journal, we
think, attest that fact.
The Journals Associated Press SER
vice costs just as much per hundred
words as does that of the biggest pa
per in the country-in fact, it costs
more than that of most of them be-
cause Pensacola is further from the
worlds news centers than the major
ity of cities are.
1t requires just as much labor, just
as much care, and just as much money
to produce a column of local news
matter in The Journal as it does to
produce similar amount of matter
anywhere, and The Journal probably
publishes more local news, in proper
ton 10 the population of the city,
than do most of the larger metropoli-
tan 0ailies.
Altogether it will be seen that The
Journal is gotten up on the same
scale, as far as it goes, that the big
metropolitan papers are measured by,
and the man who, sitting at his break
fast table this morning reads from
these columns the news of his own
city and the great world happenings
reported by The Associated Press, is
enjoying all of the advantages in this
respect that he could have in any 9TH
er city in the world.
The work and the expense of get
ting out this kind of paper is some
thing which few who are not familiar
with it can comprehend, but The Jour
nal feels that its efforts in that direc-
ton are nevertheless appreciated and
it is grateful to its friends for the
splendid patronage that makes a pa
per of this kind possible this morning.

system in Florida gives each county
the authority to settle this question
| for itself, with the inevitable result,
of course, that the school books used
in one section may be altogether diff
ferent from those used in another.
An Open Question.
The advocates of the uniform sys-
| tem"-and they are many-wOuld
! change all this-"for the better they
insist. But that remains to be seen.
| That it would be better" for the great
Northern millionaire corporations that
have school books to sell, and which
have waxed rich in selling them, IS
clear: but that it would be better
for the plain people of Florida to sud-
denly find themselves forced to dis
card the school books their children
are now using in their poorly-equipped
and isolated crossroads schools-all
this, l repeat. remains to be seen.

Gently heard of in the lobby-not the
Tallahassee lobby, but only the lobby
of one of the local hotels where politi
clans sometimes go to chew the rag

The Convict Question.
This was nothing more nor less than
a proposition to take the leasing Of
the state convicts out of the hands Of
the State Board of Institutions and put
it into the hands of that immaculate
and irrepToachable body of experience
ed statesmen who are to compose the
legislature of 1905.
As the advertisement for bids for
the lease of these convicts for four
years, beginning January !. 1906, is
already in print, and as those bids
must be in the hands of the Commits
sioner of Agriculture by March 1, it
is difficult to see what power the leg
islature can have in the premises, so
far as the next four years are con-
cerned, at least.
AS the present lease to the CONSOLE |

Company yields the state an annual |
revenue of about $175,000 or a total |
of 100000 for the entire term of the |

A SAMPLE OF
TWENTIETH CENTURY CHARITY

! 1t is not often that The Journal
gives any attention to communications
which do not bear the signature OF
the writer. but the following, receiv-
ed last week, is so pertinent just at
this time that The Journal is persuad-
ed in this case to break its rule and
give the matter publication:
Editor Pensacola Journal:
Willie Girard was buried in potter's
field Wednesday morning
Why?
Because the little fellow was given
twenty-four hours to leave town.
Is that charity2
He surely received a cold hand in
Pensacola.
The coolest weather we have exper-
fenced this winter, child was turn

Shame. Let those responsible re-
feet. Was that chairity2
A JOURNAL SUBSCRIBER.
What the writer of The above says
is no doubt true. The boy, for rea-
sons which may or may not have
been his own fault, was what the law
contemplates as a vagrant and after
having been picked up by the police
and committed to Jail over night he
was the next morning sentenced to
get out of town." after the manner of
his kind. In attempting to comply
with the order he lost his life.
1t would be unjust probably to GEN.
sure the officers of the law in this
boys case, for it was simply a type
one of a class w4tn which they have
to deal almost daily-but the case
itself is an emphatic illustration of a
defect in our laws which must sooner
or later be remedied and which should
have been remedied long ago.
Some provision other than a per-
emptory order to leave town should
be made to cover such cases. Persons
who come under the general class of
Migrants should be consigned to duty |
on some public work until they are
able to find other employment or until
the city, county or state government
has made enough out of their services
to be able to send them home or to
some point where they might be more
likely to find work.
Some persons, are Migrants by
choice, others by circumstances, but
It is safe to say that if the alternative
Of finding a job for themselves or go
ing to work at public employment
we're presented to them, it would ma
.erially reduce the former class and
would provide a humane disposition
or the latter class.
The Journal thoroughly agrees with
is correspondent that the case of the
10Y referred to was a mighty poor ex-
ample of twentieth century charity;
md it illustrates defect in the pres
mt order of things which should be
supplied
