COTTON AND FRUIT

The cultivation OF cotton, the rails.

and from the success of the cotton
farmer, and happy condition of the
young orchards now maturing In the
county along the line of the L. & N.
railway We see, or believe We do, a
time ahead of us when these sloping,
pine hills, broad savannas and swoilee
will be blooming and bearing cotton,
corn and delicious fruits IN their sea-

to give evidence Of peace and plenty
as he drives his team afield.
Passing along the highway opposite
Quintette, 10 miles north Of Pensa-
cola, the ear of the traveller catches
the low hum of a strange song in
these pine wilds. 1t is the song of the
cotton gin,. singing song Of gladness,
of home. Of an Independent and abun-
dant living for he or she who wills to
work; a song of liberation from the
rude and restless camp 1ifeI song of

Salaries of Judges
Should Be Increased.

The Journal has long been an adj
vocate of good salaries for public Off
Gals and particularly for judges
both Of the lower and the higher
courts. 1t is a notable, though
anything but commendable, fact that
private individuals and corporations
pay their employees more for their
service in private interests than the
people pay their public servants for
the protection of the peoples inter
ests.
Unfortunately, popular clamor for
economical government has always
! made the mistake of directing ifs
attention to keeping down salaries
rather than to selecting men who are
capable Of good service. The result
has been that extravaganza often
runs riot in government affairs and
the total salaries paid, even though
they were four-fold what we now pay,
would prove a mere baggatelle in
comparison with the money and the
interests which have been squan,t
dered By public officials serving for
salaries Which competent men would
not accept.
This Of course does not apply d.
rectly to men who hold Judicial posi-
lions in the public service, but there
are equally as good, IL not better,
reasons why they also should be
better paid
The judges OF the courts OF Florida,
Ike those Of most of the other states,
have always been underpaid. Nearly
any ordinary lawyer can now make
more In the practice of his profession
than the best paid Judge in the state
receives, and were it not for thel
honor attaching to the position and
for the prestige which It gives one
after having served In it. 1t is doubt
.ful IL any competant men could be
found who would serve. in a judicial
ONCE In Florida.
At the coming election, the voters

preme court from $3,500.O0 to

pear.
The Journal earnestly hopes that
this amendment will carry and that
Escambia county will help swell its
majority.
The salary item in a states ex-
penses is small as compared with the
balance Of the funds paid out. and
Florida could well afford to double
the salaries of all Of her public ser.
wants II by so doing she could insure
the election of men competant to ad-
minister economical government and
to serve the peoples interests to tho
exclusion of all other interests.

Pensacola, visited by fever, storm
and fire, proudly maintains its honest
pride and sense of its capacity to
stand alone. After the terrible rava-
ges wrought by the storm there a
short while ago, proffers of aid from
sister cities were refused. not in a
spirit of ostentation, but just because
the people and the government un-
derstood the inherent strength of the
city to upbuild without calling on out
siders. 1t was splendid position to
take, and all have honored it. But 1t
seems that we are compelled to yield
a still higher degree of admiration,
for, despite it's OWN misfortunes, the
city declares it stands ready to help

He sees the sun CLEAN upon the sill

some sweet thought Is mirrored in the
holy eyes looking seward. He marks
that the white hands are no longer

then he walks across the sands, and
