PENSACOLA FLORIDA SUNDAY MORNING NOVEMBER IL 1906

Few people do or can realize under
what high pressure a modern daily
paper Is produced. Many people fail
to realize also that newspaper report
ers, desk men, or printers are not
always college graduates, though most
of them are capable of writing better
English than many of the said collie
gians.
While approaching the worth of a
man who is capable of using the best
forms of English, newspaper men are
valued more for their ability to recog-
nize news when they see It, to ger
it quick, and to get lots of it, than
for any special ability which they may
have for rhetorical form or classic
diction. A man who can get a story
into shape, with all of the pertinent
facts, who can write it so that the
papers readers will understand what
he has written, and who can rush the
stuff In to the office quick enough to
avoid any delay in the papers going
to press-such a man is worth a
dozen polished essay writer's, even
though he may here and there make
few grammatical errors.
1t must be remembered that In the
rush and hurry and general high pres

reader can readily understand it, they
, have accomplished the main purpose
of their existence. But whatever they
do must Ne done at once, and where
errors Of expression occur there Is
but little opportunity for correction.
1t must not be supposed either, that
most of the writer's who make these
errors are not as keenly sensitive to
the fact as is the reader of the printed
page who, at his leisure, finds it easy
to locate flaws and point out mistakes
In fact, the news writer's themselves
are their own harshest critics and af-
] ter their stories have appeared in the
paper it is quite likely that they dis
cover more errors and feel more keen
| ly the defects of their work than the
reader could possibly discover or fee
for them.
al conclusion, let us reiterate that
we are glad to receive such kindly
criticisms as that contained in the
letter above, and we trust that this
will not be the last one. We also

A Good Example
Of Sordid Cornrnercialisrn.

With sublime indifference to the
wishes of the people of the United
States, as expressed by their repre-
sensations in Congress, and with ut.
ter disregard of the safety and well
being Of Gulf Coast residents, pc
tition has been forwarded to the
governor of Louisiana by the COM
mercial interest of the city Of
New Orleans favoring state con-
troll Of quarantine. That the petition
was inspired solely by a spirit of
commercialism is evident from the
complacent statement of The New
Orleans Picayune that "the fruit lines
offer to bear the largest part of the
expense" provided the state and not
the general government controls the
quarantine at the mouth of the Miss,
issippi, and, incidentally of course,
permits them to endanger the entire
southland by operating between New
Orleans and the fever infested ports
Of Central America practically with
out restriction
In view of all that has occurred in
the past, and especially the serious
charge, practically undisputed and
absolutely proven, that the laxness of
the Louisiana state quarantine was
responsible for the terrible scourge
which swept many gulf coast cities
only a year ago, 1t is astonishing,
to say the least, that the greed for
commerce should be allowed to over
balance the dictates of conscience
and the simplest demands of human
| ity- That any city should commit it.
self to mode Of procedure that is
sure to brand 1t as dangerous during
the fever season would be remarkable,
but that the action was taken by
a city that claims to be the most pro
gressive and prosperous In the south
the Gateway to the great Mississippi
valley and the seat Of culture and
learning, is little short of astounding.
New Orleans is jealous Of her com
merce, and in that lies the kernel OF
the whole matter; the fear that few
banana ships will cease to unload
cargoes at the docks of the Crescent
City is the reason for a move that
places the whole south in jeopardy
New Orleans alone, Of all southern
cities, is willing to risk not only her
own people but the people of the en-.
tire gulf coast In order that a few
paltry dollars in, commerce may flow
through the port, Notwithstanding
the fact that the sordid wealth thus
gained may be expended a thousand
times over during but one visitation
Of the yellow scourge.
If New Orleans alone would have
to bear any affliction that might re-
suit from laxness of quarantine regu
lations there would be no objection
to the plan at present proposed, but

Let Us Have a Bigger
Show Next Year.

The success of Pensacola's first
horse show is significant. 1t demon
strates that we have at last hit upon
scheme, plan, or whatever you
may call it, that automatically works
up its own enthusiasm.
Pensacola's horse show last week
created more enthusiasm, attracted
more attention, cost less money, and
required smaller organized effort than
any public attraction of the kind that
Pensacola has seen in years.
That being the case and the sue
cess of the event being admitted, what
might we not be able to accomplish
in more time, with more money and
with better organization and greater
effort? What is to prevent us next
year from having one Of the finest
stock shows in the South, and from
getting 10000 to $4,000 people to come
here to see It? Not thing In the
world bue the failure to grasp an op-
portunity.
The Journal therefore moves that
the opportunity be grasped. We hope
to hear the motion seconded and in
the event that 1t is carried, The
Journal pledges itself, here and now,
to give Pensacola's next horse show
the widest publicity that the biggest
newspaper circulation in this part of
Florida is capable Of accomplishing.

Statement With Reference to Union
Pacific Lands in Wyoming.

Mr.. Pollock says that the statements con-
tanned in the morning papers rejecting upon
his conduct and motives in connection with
the above-stated matter are absolutely I'M
true. He states most emphatically that he
has never, personally nor officially, by direc-
ton or suggestion, expressed or implied,
nor by any act of commission or intended
omission, aided or countenanced failure
to prosecute, or the suppression of any
prosecution of the investigation referred to.
Mr.. Pollock characterizes the statement
that he advised Mr.. Myendorff to destroy
the affidavits alluded to as wllfully false
He affrms that he never saw and was never
informed of any affidavits which did not in
due and regular course become and remain
part of the records of the office; that he
gave Myendorff no instructions whatever
in regard to the investigation except as ex-
pressed In official letters which are on file
and record in the land Office. No other
advice to him was necessary, as the we'll
established rules Of the Office instructed him
fully as to his duty.
