tain no fear of that. As far back as
last November, we knew that he had
been elected president by the largest
majority ever given any candidate Tor
Office in this country. SATURDAY ne
was formally introduced into ONCE N
the midst of blaze OF meaningless
splendor.
Mr.. Roosevelt has recently Indicated
that he entertains saner views regard
ing the south than other members OF
his party. When Senator Platt intro
duced in congress an absurd, lawless
and unconstitutional bill to cut down
southern representation Mr. Roosevelt
was wise enough to see that such a
measure would never do. He accord
ingiy Is reputed to have sat down
foreefully upon II. Whatever may
have been his motives for that, the
people of the south accepted 1t as az
least disposition to accord this Sec
ton fair play.
Tennessee. Kentucky, Arkansas and
several other southern states have no
election laws that can be tortured into
discrimination against negro voters,
yet Plat had it arranged to cut down
the representation in all these states.
If the president is the fair-minded
man he claims to be, he will never
tolerate for a moment such a mon
strouS injustice. We have only the
best wisnes for the success of Mr..
Roosevelt's administration. We trust
that he will cease to think of partisan
advantage and give us an administra-
ton not sectional, but American. We
trust also that he will hereafter new
closer to the constitution line, and
carefully refrain from even the semb-
lance Of usurping any of the functions
pertaining to other branches of the
government. Mr.. Roosevelt has the
greatest opportunity ever given any
president of the United States. viii

THAT SUSPENSION" OF
CERTAIN LICENSE TAXES.

The vigorous protest which the
business men of Pensacola have en-
tered against the attempted "suspen-
sion" by a part of the city government
Of certain license tax provisions forms
a pretty strong endorsement Of the
position which The Journal took on
the same matter yesterday morning.
In addition to this protest. which
nearly every business man of promi-
nence in the city has signed, anG'
which is reinforced by the published
letters of Aldermen Muldon and Calm,
The Journal is able to state that at
least five out of the six members of
the council who did not sign the petit
ton to the mayor, are opposed to any
such tinkering with the city ordi-
nances.
Members of a committee of bust
ness men who visited Mayor WeIles
before the coming of the shows to
this city are also authority for the
statement that the mayor himself
promised them he would not grant any
concessions Of the kind which he
later gave his permission" to grant,
and the case therefore assumes a still
more complex situation.
Altogether The Journal is of the
opinion that the city government,
from Mayor Welles down, could very
proftably at once commence in en-
forcing the city ordinances. That is
what We have q city government for
and that is what the city government
should do.

of that war to join his fortunes with
the Confederacy.
He became postmaster general OF
the Confederacy by appointment by
President Davis, and filed that Office
with distinguished ability, as ne filed
the other responsible positions with
which he was honored by his people
during his long and honorable career.
He was captured with Mr.. Davis i'll
1865, and confined in northern prison
for some time, and upon his release ne
returned to Texas and deyosed himself
to his farming Interests. Upon the
removal of his political disabilities in
1875, General Reagan was elected to
congress by his people ard continued
to serve in that capacity until he was
further honored by being elected to
the United, States senate. His record
in that body was distinguished one,
his most conspicuous act then perhaps
being the contribution he made To-
wards securing the enactment of the
law creating the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
With fine patriotism and public
spirit he resigned that honorable posi-
ton upon the invitation of the COVER
nor of Texas, TO accept the chairman
ship of the newly created State Rail-
way Commission which ne soon made
a model, and blaZed the way for i'm
portant reforms, which were adopted
by other states and by the national
commission. in the creation of which
he had been the moving spirit
Several years since he retired to
private life and passed his declining
days at his simple country nome, ex-
employing by the dignity of his bear
ing and the liberality of his views,
the highest ideal of true American
citizenship. Thus, after a checkered
and eventful career of more than four
score years, did this model citizen,
whose distinguished public services
embraced positions of responsibility,
honor and trust under three national
governments, pass to his reward. No
man in the south was held in greate'
reverence than he, nor does the his
tory of this republic record the career
of one VINO in various capacities
served his people with cleaner or more
disinterested purpose, or one who
erected higher standard by which to
be guided in public service.
His death will be sincerely mournec
throughout the south, and wherever
his character is known there will be
regret over the departure of the grand
old gentleman who from humble sta
ton in life became. by his own efforts
statesman long moving in a large
orbit, and through 1t all maintaining a
reputation and character irreproach-
able and spotless.

HON. FRANK REILLEY
A CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR,

The announcement of Alderman
Frank Kelley as a candidate in the
coming primaries for the nomination
of mayor of Pensacola will be read
with interest by everyone in the city
this morning. 1t is the first announce
ment in the municipal campaign, but
it will no doubt be followed soon by
announcements for other Offices all
down the line
Mr.. Kelley is the style of man who
could not do otherwise than make 4
good mayor He is not only a sue
cessful business man, but he has serv-
ed with credit on the city council and
he is familiar with all of the details
Of the city government.
A lifelong resident of Escambia
county and a business man in Pensa-
cola for the past fifteen years, Mr..
Kelley has built up a reputation for
business and personal integrity, such
as any man might well regard with
pride. Nearly everyone knows him
and he enjoys the esteem and conf
dence of the entire public.
The election of Mr.. Kelley as mayor
would cement all factions in the city
government and it would no doubt be
productive of that harmonious spirit
which is such a desirable feature in
municipal affairs of every kind.
Whether or not Mr.. Reilley will have
opposition remains to be seen, but this
much can be said: If all of the candi-
dates are of as good material as he
the city will be sure of a good mayor
for the coming two years.

PENSACOLA, FLORIDA, thursday. MARCH O. 1905

They have found a number who are
willing to offer themselves up on the
altar of the Twentieth district, COM
prising Marion and Sumter, and the
last named county has some. But H.
W. Long, when asked to make the
sacrifice, declared he was otherwise
engaged-had other business on his
hands, and so Mr.. Long goes on record
as declinig the honor that the people
desired 20 bestow upon MIN. Few
men in this or any other common
wealth of the forty-six would pass up
such an opportunity simply becuse he
would rather hold the place of county
commissioner and help make good
roads" But Mr.. Long is the one man,
at least, who has the interests of his
county at heart, and when he has the
good roads all completed he should
be given a ride over them in an auto
to the state capitol
Long may he wave.

The Han Rabx.

How do you suppose the babies in
Japan take an airingl In baby car
riages, you say? OF course not. The
Japanese never do anything the way
we do It. When the baby's about three
days old it goes out for its first glimpse
Of the world strapped on somebody's
back, and that's the way it goes every
day till it can so on its own feet.
Sometimes its mother or its nurse
takes 1t, but very often it rides on the
back of q brother or sister, who is per-
haps not more than four or five years
old. These little nurses don't seem to
be troubled at all by their charges, as
you would suppose. They play ball
and tag and run races and fly kites In
spite of the heavy loads on their backs.
What is more remarkable, the babies
are perfectly happy and hardly ever
cry, though when their young nurses
run with them the poor babies faces
bang back and forth against their care
takers shoulders till an American baby
would howl with pain and rage.-Ber-

THE NEW TERM OF
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.
Memphis commercial-Appeal.
sa.as ;ias.1;ass Z z < Z ae

The inauguration of a president OF
the United States has long ceased to
have any particular significance. All
the lessons that could be drawn from
1t have been set forth time and again.
The president is elected in Novem Ger
and installed in Office four months
afterward. In this interval the results
of the election have been canvassed,
the causes contributing to the success
of one party and the defeat of another
have been exhaustively discussed, and
as a rule the country has had an op-
portunity to adjust itself to normal
conditions again.
Inaugurations have diverged far
from the simplicity of the early days
of the republic. They have become
great spectacles that are totally out
of keeping with the traditions of de-
mocracy. The Inauguration Of Satur-
day probably reached the limit of
extravaganza and pomp.
OF course there will be no particu-
lar change in the administration of
national affairs. Mr. Roosevelt has
been president for three years, and
his policies and modes of action are
pretty we'll defined. We entertain the
strong conviction that he took too
many liberties with the Constitution
of the United States, but the great
majority of the people seem to enter
