all men and measures, than there are.
The Metropolis did not support Gov
ernor Broward in his campaign for
office, in fact it opposed him, but in
an honorable manner The plank in
his platform that weighed the most
was Bverglade Drainage" The peo-
pie were interested in the project, and
he was elected with their approval or
the drainage proposition he promised
to put in operation. They had faith
in him, and he would have been
branded as a traitor, failsitier and a
scoundrel had he never attempted to
make good the pledge that secured
his election.
For being honest with himself and
the people he represents by endeav-
oring to live UP to the letter of the
plan that made him governor, he is
now being assailed and even perSe-
cuted by those few daily papers and a
majority of insignificant weeklies,
who bark and attempt to bite" sim
ply because the big dogs" put up a
howl.
The Metropolis has refrained from
discussing the merits or dement's Of
Governor Broward's drainage scheme,
and it does not do so now. The task
may be feasible and practicable, or
it may not. Until the question has
been settled and even though the pub
lie becomes convinced that the drain
age Of the Everglades is impossible,
it must commend the honesty and
manhood of the chief executive in en-
deavoring to do and fulfill the pledges
he made the people before he became
Governor Of Florida. By doing so he
proves to be a man of his word--a
quality so often found lacking in men
in public office.
The Metropolis shows a fair and
manly spirit in this utterance. 1t is
well known that our Miami contem-
porary opposed the election of Cover
nor Broward two years ago, but 1t
nevertheless has the honesty to deal
fairly with him now, as it did then.

Commissioner Burr is now serving
his first term on the commission and

that justiies his reelection. He ran

The Kind of a Campaign
Florida Needs.

That excellent paper, the Live Oak
Democrat, calls attention to a matter
that is of far more importance to
Florida than any other one thing just
at this time. The Democrat says:
In the heat of the political cam
Taign in Florida let us not lose sight
Of that other and more important
campaign against the mosquitoes as
the chief allies of yellow fever. Flor
ida will rack along about as usual, no
matter who is nominated at the pTi-
n aries; but if yellow jack should eff
feet a landing on our shores and the
mosquitoes get busy as heretofore
without restraint We will quickly IN
derstand that one of these little in
sects Of the stegOmyia variety can
be of more importance to the veal or
woe Of the commonwealth than all
the candidates in Florida combined.
This is right down hard common
sense and Pensacola, more than any
other one locality, will do well to
heed the advice it contains. The
way to make war ON the mosquitoes
is to destroy their breeding places
and to do it before they begin to
breed. Pensacola is now more free
from these breeding places than she
has ever been, but there are still
enough of them to produce millions
Of mosquitoes before the season Is
over and they should be destroyed
at once

Mr.. Appleyard
and the Corporations.

The Tampa Tribune comes to the
defense of T. J. Appleyard, candidate
for railroad commissioner, as follows:
The imbecility and dense ignorance
displayed by one or more South Flor
IDA papers regarding the candidacy of
Mr. T. J. Appleyard, of Lake City, for
Railroad Commissioner, is so absurd
that thinking people do not consider IL
a minute, consequently little attention
should be paid to it. But for fear a
few voters who are not posted rela-
tive to state politics may take the
matter seriously, is the cause of this
article.
The opposition to Mr.. Appleyard is
industriously circulating circulars
throughout the state, wherein the
Lake City editor is characterized as
a corporation" candidate. The Tri-
bune has been a reader of Mr.. Apple
yards paper for a number of years,
and it has never espoused the cause
of the corporations against the people.
In fact, Mr. Appleyard's whole career
as a journalist is like an open book
and those who have watched his
course have always placed him on the
side of the people against corporate
influences and power and the unjust
attack made upon him by a few per-
sonal enemies and political opponents
will prove to be the greatest boone
rang that has been sprung this cam
psign.
Mr.. Appleyard is not what a few

Newspaper Directory Report
on The Journal.

The last issue Of Printers Ink con-
tains a review of Rowell's American
Newspaper Directory report for the
state of Florida and some very inter
esting figures are gathered therefrom.
These figures give The Pensacola
Journal and the Jacksonville Metrop-
oils the distinction of being the only
daily papers in Florida that furnish
a detailed statement of circulation.
For the Pensacola papers the follow
ing figures are given:
Pensacola Journal, morning:
Copies printed: 1887 in 1901
2,441 in 1902
1929 in 1903
3,540 in 1904
1880 in 1905
This paper is entitled to be named
on the Printers Ink Roll Of Honor.
Pensacola, News, evening and
weekly:
Copies printed: No definite and
satisfactory report has been obtained
from this paper since 1899, and the
pubAAGhCA quilts u-ldI. 4G QOCS uOL
keep records that would make it pos
sible for him to prepare such a report,
but the daily edition has had credit
for issuing more than 1000 copies reg
ularly since 1900 and including 1905.
This is a fiattering showing for
The Journal, but if the report Of The
Journals present circulation could
have been included it would have
made still more flattering showing.
The Journals circulation for the
month Of March was over one thous-
and greater than its average for the
year 1905, and its circulation for the
present month will reach an average
of nearly 5000 copies daily.
These circulation figures show why
The Journal carries so much advertls-
ing and why that advertising pays
those who do it.
