DEEP WATER AT THE
JACKSONVILLE DOCKS.
Jacksonville Times-Union.

The rapid and effective work that
is being done in deepening the river
Is highly gratifying to the people of
Jacksonville and of its tributary ter
rtory; and the territory tributary to
Jacksonville will be greatly extended
by its completion. With deep water
which we will be soon have our city
will become one of the leading sea-
ports of the south.
Our own state alone furnishes an
immense amount of business tLat
seeks a water outlet, but with deep
water Jacksonville will draw heavily
from other states. The benefit of this to
the city and its people is well known.
1T will prove OF great benefit TO the
railroads entering the city from the
Forth and west. At first glance it
might appear that the building up Of
water transportation from Jackson
Vile would be at their expense. Even
If this is true. to some extent at first
Il will soon be much more than coun-
terbalanced by these railroads getting
a part of the business that goes from
Georgia, Alabama and West Florida
by rail or through the ports of the
Gulf.
Jacksonville is further west than
any other Atlantic port. This makes
her as near an Atlantic port as any
to vast stretch of country. This
is an advantage which, coupled with
the public spirit and energy of our
people will make her the leading
shipping center of the southeast as
soon as the largest ships find water
deep for landing at our docks. Jack
sonville will at no distant day be-
come one of the leading ports for the
trade with South America and she
West Indies, and every interest that
centers here will be benefited.

AS we predicted some time ago the
question as to whether President
Roosevelt Will be candidate for the
presidential nomination Is certain to
receive great deal of attention. not
withstading the numerous assertions
CT Mr.. Loeb, the Presidents private
secretary, that it is the Presidents
purpose to adhere to his declaration,
made Immediately after the last pres
idential election, that he wouldn't
| again be a candidate.
In an interview in ST. Louis last
Friday Senator. Tillman is quoted as
saying: Theodore Roosevelt lis a
candidate for the nomination, and he
will be sorey disappointed If the Re.
pubFcans do not force it upon him,
He Is just itching for the place again
and is using every possible means to
turn the sentiment towards him and
make the Republicans force him to
accept the nomination" Of course
something must be allowed for the
feeling OF hostility which Mr.. Tillman
entertains for the President. but be-
cause he Is not on the best of terms
with him it doesn't follow that he
would make a statement like the fore
going unless he believes it to be true.
IL isn't OF course to the credit of the
president to be placed in the position
or saying one thing and trying to do
the very opposite of that thing-that
is, trying to mislead the public, but
there is no doubt there are prominent
men in both political parties who think
about the Presidents intentions re-
speeding the presidential nomination
Just as Senator Tillman does. Only a.
day Or two ago Senator LaIFolette was
quoted as expressing the opinion that
Roosevelt and Bryan would be the
opposing presidential candidates in
1908.
Senator Tillman thinks Mr.. BRYAN
can beat Mr.. Roosevelt. He said in

The Alleged Overdrafts by
the County Commissioners.

Elsewhere in The Journal today ap
pears the argument presented by for
mer Commissioner Frank johnson be
fore the board of county commission
ers Tuesday night for a dismissal Of
the suits now pending against certain
former commissioners for the re
covery of money alleged to have beer
collected illegally by them.
In The Journals opinion, the argu
ment of Mr. johnson Is logical and
conclusive and we believe that when
the governor is fully acquainted with
all Of the facts in the premises he
will not insist on the suits being
pressed.
1t will be remembered that when
this question of oNerdrafts on the part
OF the commissioners came up, the
members Of the present board paid
back, under protest, what was alleged
10 be due from them. but the mem
bers OF the former boards refused to
pay, and suits, at the instance of the
governor, were therefore entered
against them.
The money in question was drawn
Tor work done in building county roads
and the commissioners all believed at
the time and believe now that they
had right to the money. 1t is pos
sible, although by no means definitely
settled, that in a strictly legal sense
they were not entitled to the money
but morally and practically they were
entitled to it.
The county got the benefit OF these
mems labor. The good roads which
We now enjoy in various portions of
the county are physical evidence of
the services they rendered The pay
which they received. even including
that which Is alleged to have been
drawn illegally, is enthusiastically
small when compared with the bene
fits that the county has received from
their efforts.
Taking all of these things into con-
s'deration, The Journal does not be-
lieve there Is jury in Escambia coun-
ty that will render Judgment against
these commissioners even If the suits
are pressed and 1t does not believe
that Governor Broward, when he
thoroughly understands the circum-
Stances, will insist on the suits being
prosecuted.
Further than that, these suits should
not only be dismissed, but the money
which the present board paid back
under protest should be refunded to
the members. The people down in
their hearts are generally actuated by
q pretty well developed sense of jus.
tice and We do not believe that TWEEN
ty-five tax payers in Escambia county
can be found who are in favor of COM
polling these men to pay back money
which they fully earned and for which
the county has had more than value
received

Regular Eating.

Many a housekeeper does not eat ut
noon unless she has company. Too
much cannot be said in favor of regll-
lar hours for meals. A luncheon sery-
ed for only one or two should be ju.t
Rs dainty as the most formal dinner.
A napkin or dolly spread On the bare
table Is sufficient If one Is in a hurry.
IL left overs are TO be the lunch they
should be served in an appetizing AMI
savory manner. A glass of milk and a
piece Of cake, taken standing in the
Kitchen. is foolish luncheon. When
one has eaten II hearty breakfast 4
light luncheon Is all that is necessary
but if very little breakfast has been
partaken of a good, substantial meal at
noon should be eaten.

calls too many good men lars. 1t is
true, OF. course, that the President has
acquired the uneviable reputation OF
questioning the veracity OF men who
stand as high in public estimation as
he does. However, that has nothing
to do with the question as to whether
the President wants to be the next
presidential candidate of his party.
His intention in respect to the matter
will probably become evident in the
course of the next few months. If
he really is working for the nomina-
ton while denying that he will accept
it If offered to him, the fact Is bound
to crop out in some way or other.

The chances are that the fuzzers will

NATIONAL REPRESENTATION.
Mason. City Times-Herald1

MASON City Times erald.]
Isle erroneous statement of the Des
Mo1nes Register and Leader to the
effect that the republican vote In
Iowa this fall would have a bearing
upon the number of delegates in thu.
national convention in 1903, has
cussion of the effect of light vote in
Iowa this fall for the head of the re-
publican ticket.
Iowa will have 26 delegates to the
national republican convention regard
less of the vote this or any other year.
The representation as before referred
to by the Times-aHerald is not based
upon votes but upon congressional dis
tricts, two delegates to the national
convention being apportioned to each
congressional district and two II large
for each of the senators. Thus Iowa
will have &c delegates to the republic
can national convention, just as she
has had since the state has had eleven
congressman.
This representation is unfair and
mequal for many southern states
which have the same representation
votes that are cast in Iowa, yet have
equal say in making national nominal
tions. 1t would be just as unfair If
the Iowa state republican committee
based the representation in the state
convention upon the number of legis-
ative districts ard fixed upon a GER
tain number of delegates for each
representative district, regardless Of
the number of republican voters there
In. Iowa republicans would not stand
any such unfair representation long,

northern states Should not continue to

ton in the national convention.
When Gov. Cunlmins was the mem
Der OF the national committee from

against continuance Of such mani

of basing state representation, but
the committee was not disposed to
make any change in the system which
has been in vogue many years and In

cred to touch. A, change will be
made In time however, and such .
change cannot become too soon. A
fair basis Of representation in selec-

determine within herself the method
of distribution of delegates over the
