Hoodluunism IN a
Bankers Convention.

The conservative journals, which
delight TO class themselves as the
Epokesmen and representatives Of the
business interests-the safety and
sanity Of the commonwealth. as it
were are fond Of entertaining their
readers with tales OF alleged turbu-
lence. disorder. and Incorporate utter
ance which they say characterize the
conventions and other gatherings of
men who represent the social or poll
ticsi interests Of that larger though
less fortunate division Of society. the
labor element
A little incident occurred not long
ago. however, which was not so prom
inenuy displayed in these ultrarespeo-
table journals. Il happened out in
Nebraska at a Bankers Convention
and is described in the following dis
patch:

Miss z. Nellie Beck.

In every avenue Of business and in
covering all the most honorable pro
fessions throughout the country, the
ladies are taking on considerable
prominence. I am proud to record
the fact that we have them engaged in
journalism in this state. In all can
dor, 1 believe it would be best for the
press gang" if we had more news
paper women. Florida has a few,
however, and they are an honor to
the profession. Miss Nellie Beck. adj
mired by all who know her, does ex-
cellent work on TIE Pensacola Jour
nal Her time is devoted to the so
cial page of that paper. and consider
ing her ability her field is entirely
too limited. She has demonstrated
her capability TO handle any sort of a
news story, and also to comment on
any question in such a manner as TO
command attention. She IS a woman
whose efforts have elected unstinted
praise.-Chas. Z. Jones in Jackson

How State Papers View
The News's Attack.

A good idea Of the way state news
papers view the continued malicious
attacks upon the State Board Of
Health by the Pensacola Daily News
may be obtained from the following
from the columns Of The Tampa Trib-
une, one Of the largest as well as best
papers in Florida:
The Pensacola News Of last Monday
contained a very unjust and totally
unnecessary assault on Dr. Joseph Y.
Porter and the State Board of Health,
who have had the impudence and pre-
sumption to conduct the campaign
against the yellow fever according to
scientific methods. and not according
to the opinion of said Pensacola News.
In striking comparison to the vici-
Gus policy of this paper, is the highly
creditable and commendable editorial
in the The Pensacola Journal, which
is the leading daily Of West Florida,
and whose uterances will meet the
hearty endorsement of all right-think-
ing people
The Pensacola News continues its
daily doses of advice to and villifica-
ton of the State Board of Health and
State Health officer Porter, but for
tunately for the rest of the state the
health authorities are pursuing the
even tenor Of their way. Despite in
reference and Misrepresentation,
they are pursuing the only course con-
sistent with their duties as servants
of the state. even to the personal in
convenience Of the element in Pensa-
cola that has been making itself so
obnoxious.
tt does seem to the Tribune that
with the yellow fever epidemic so near
ly over. that the malcontents in that
city ought to be patient the little re-
naming while Undoubtedly business
has suffered. families have been sep
arated and some annoyance has been
experienced from the fumigatiOn of
the houses in the city, but all this has
been necessary, and has kept INSIDE
OF ONE CITY THE EPIDEMIC
THAT THREATENED THE ENTIRE
STATEi
Then. in all fairness to the health
officers. and in justice to the rest of
the state. everybody in Pensacola
should lend assistance and not opposi-
ton TO the work. and not make a
hopeless fight, which would be fought
even at this late hour with grave dan
gers to the state at large.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1905-11-05

When the fact is considered that
during the otherwise dull months of
September and October the city has
in addition been suffering from an at,
tack of yellow fever, the circulation
record made by The Journal is all the
more remarkable.
Advertisers who are reaching for
the trade Of Pensacola and West Flor
ida have never before had such an
opportunity to present their claims TO
the people as they have today through
the columns of The Journal
These advertisers also know exact
ly what they are getting and what
they are paying for when they buy
space in The Journal It is the only
Pensacola paper which has ever taken
the public into its confidence in the
matter of circulation-the only paper
that has ever told the public, or told
anyone else for that matter, what its
circulation is.
The Journals circulation figures
are commended to every advertiser
as worthy Of a careful study.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1905-11-05

tons. He said what was demanded
was the solving of the problem by
clear headed, right thinking business
men. not by candidates for Office CT
writers of political platforms. He
said stock swindles are traceable to
the inherent dishonesty of the promo
tiers Of corporations. and every man
had the opportunity to protect himself
by finding out for himself what pro
portion Of che true value Of the prop
erty each share represented.
Mr.. Dawes advised his hearers to
leave of attacking wealth, stop in
definite criticism and stop fighting
Rockefeller, but pick out specific
wrongs and direct their efforts to-
wards their correction.
Mr.. Dawes was vigorously called
down by the bankers. One declared
he was sent out here to do what he
had done. another tainted him with
securing the cOmptrOllership through
Wall street Influences. The meeting
broke up In a row.
So here we have one Of those clear
headed. right thinking business men,
telling his auditors to go to he'll, and
throwing the meeting into such a tur-
mol that it finally broke up In a gen
eral row.
Il is painfully evident that human
nature is. under similar conditions,
the same among all classes of men
and that no particular class has a
monopoly on all the virtue or intelii-
gence or good manners in the uni
verse. Men that are rowdies by ma
ture manifest st Just as forcibly in a
bankers convention as they win in
labor assembly and there is no way OF
completely suppressing them in either
case.
The point that we started out to
make however, was that while such
cases as that noted above are promi-
nently featured when occurring in a
labor convention. such papers as the
Chicago Chronicle and its Ike see
nothing worth mentioning in it when
such a distinguished business and.
political luminary as Ex-Comptroier.
Dawes happens to be the hoodlum.

Fine Tribute to Miss Beck.

tllG ANtA4LG 70 MISS BECK
The following appreciation of the
bravery and excellent work of Miss Z.
Nellie Beck of The Pensacola Journal
is from the Tampa Times:
Most of the local readers of the
Times years ago knew Miss +. Nellie
Beck, who was for a long time an &C
tive and popular member Of the news
paper fraternity in this city and else
where in South Florida She has been
for two or three years a member Of
the stan Of The Pensacola Journal
and in that connection has just aC-
complished something that had it been
done by man would have called for
eulogium and classed him among the
list of heroes.
During the scourge of yellow fever
she remained at her post. keeuing her
page Of the paper up to its regular
high standard of brilliancy and cheer
and hope, distributing courage and
earnestness 70 all the people and max.
ing the visitation lighter and less fear,
ful. In not a line nor a letter did she
betray a shrinking from the full meas
ure Of work and duty. This was char
acteristic of Nellie Beck, whose key
note Of conduct has always been duty
in every relation of life. As a daugh-
ter, friend, a worker, she has never
for one instant fallen short of that
standard which marks the true and
faithful woman Her adherence to
her work and place during the yellow
fever siege is not exceptional with
her. It is only what all who know her
expected, because she never does
otherwise. 1t is a sincere pleasure to
pay her this tribute Of esteem and ap-
probation, because she has fully de-
served it, not only in che past terri
bic weeks, but all her life long And
It is the wish and hope of a multitude
of friends that many like years may
be added to it"-Jacksonville Times
Union.
