TIME TO CLEAN UP.
Z z e K
Mobile Item.

Fever reports are beginning to show
up, as is usual at this time of the
year, and the public at once begins to
ask: What is being done to put the
city in good sanitary condition." 1t
is a question of vital Importance and
the sanitary work should not be de-
layed. The city has been carrying on
this work in a way limited to the
revenues at hand for this work. But
something more is needed than official
action. To be properly carried cut
and successfully maintained through
cut the summer, cooperation on the
part Of the citizens is necessary. not
only for the purpose of experimenting
financially the city's work, but also in
arousing a. healthy public sentiment,
as was done by the citizens sanitary
committee last year. Some neighhOTs,
naturally keep things clean about
their premises, but unfortunately all
are not inclined this way. The thing
then to do is to bring public pressure
to bear, both by example and by per.
suation to prevail upon the delin-
quents to join hands with others to
keep the city clean throughout the
summer months. II is to hoped the
citizens, who did such good work last
year., will renew their work this year,
begin it early and keep it forging
ahead to the end, as well, if not bet
ter, than they did last year. 1t is not
necessary to go into the outlying dis
tricts Of the city to look for places
that should be cleaned UP and kept
clean; they can be found in the best
built up districts. Whether or not
any provisions have been made for
screening work, or whether any such
work is in contemplation, is not
definitely known, but the work has
had the attention of the authorities Of
Pensacola and New Orleans. These
who are experts in sanitation might
take the work UP, if they are of the
opinion that it ought to be done, and
suggest the best methods for carrying
it out. There. are other features
which can he best placed before the
people by an active organization of
the citizens representing the varied in
terests of the city and cooperating
with the city government in the work,
with the Interior view Of securing
proper endorsements of the sanitary
regulations.

License and Badges
for Pistol Toters.

Many plans have been advanced for
suppressing the pistol "toter" but the
solution Of the problem seems as far
distant as when the original plan was
proposed. In the Louisiana General
Assembly a bill have been introduced
providing that those who desire to go
about armed shall procure q license
and wear a badge and the New Or
Jeans States has the following to say
on the subject:
A bill has been introduced in the
General Assembly exacting a license
from pistol 'tOters," and requiring
them when armed TO wear aluminium
badges cOnspicUOusly upon their coats.
The suggestion of a license strikes us
as being a good one. for it would TO
q certain extent check the evil prac-
tice OF gun tOting, and at the same
time bring revenue 30 the state.
The provision embOdying the badge
feature would doubtless defeat the
very purpose OF the law, for rather
than 20 about wearing a badge pro
claiming themselves to be armed, The
majority Of pistol tOteTs would violate
the law as they do now. Nobody
would wear such a badge, and at the
same time the practice Of going armed
would not be interfered with to any
great extent, if at all. The license
plan would be more effective, for if a
person were required 70 pay a reason
able sum TO the proper authority for
the privilege OF carrying a gun many
who now violate the law with impun
fly and never get prosecuted for IL
would be willing TO stand the tax.
There are times and circumstances
under which the best disposed men
are almost required by the necessities
Of the case 10 violate the law against
carrying concealed weapons. The very
infexfbility Of the existing law occa-
sionally compels its violation by the
most law-abiding citizens, and that
fact encourages evil disposed persons
TO violate Il without excuse or provo
cation. NJ q law should be enacted i'm

Senator Mallory's Effort
for Survey of Everglades.

Senator Mallory has introduced a
3oint resolution directing the secretary
OF agriculture to cause a survey of
the Everglades Of Florida to deter
mine the feasibility and cost Of drain
ing said Everglades, and for other
purposes. The resolution is as fol
lows:
Resolved by the Senate and House
OF Representative OF the United
States Of America in Congress assem-
bled, That the Secretary be, and he is
hereby, authorized and directed to
cause a survey Of the Everglades Of
Florida to be made, with g view to as
certsining and determining the FEAST
bility and probable cost OF retaining
and draining said Everglades for agTi-
cultural purposes, ana also to cause.
an examination Of the soil in said
Everglades with view to determining
its quality and adaptability and prOba-
IL prOductiveness when reclaimed
and devoted 10 agricultural purposes.
Sec. 2. That the sum Of ten thou
sand dollars be, and is hereby, apprO-
priated, out Of any money in the
Treasury not otherwise appropriated,
for the purpose Of carrying out the re-
Quirements of this resolution, and that
said sum Of ten thousand dollars,
or 50 much thereof as may be neces-
sary, be reserved from the sales of
public lands in the State Of Florida
and paid into the Treasury
OF the United States in lieu
Of any portion Of the ten thousand /
dollars hereby appropriated for the
purposes designated by this resOlu-
ton.
Sec. 3. That the Secretary Of
Agriculture at as early a day as posi-
bic report the result of said surveys,
with such recommendations as he may
think proper to make.
This is a very proper EFFORT and
there appears TO be no gooI reason
why It should not prevail. The gov
eminent is spending millions of dol !
lars in reclamation, by irrigation, the
arid lands OF the west and there is :
no reason why the government should
rot with equal pUUpriety spend a pOr-
ton OF the money in retaining the
Everglades.

route" root or 'rowt" In any
case the member would have no APP
peal from the decision.
But while the Senate is not fettered
in its powers, it is restricted in its
rights by the laws prescribing who are
and who are not eligible. The Senate
has the power but not the right to de.
clare vacant the seat of any man who
was eligible and duly elected. It has
the power but not the right to expei
2 member who during his term Of
Office has not been guilty of any Of
tense.
Mr. Smoot is charged with being one
of a self perpetuating body Of men
claiming divine authority and CONTROL
ing a state. 1t is stated that these
men encourage polygamy. AS to all
this, evidence was conflicting. but the
Senate is the jury to decide and with
its diaision of the facts we will find no
fault But admitting all this true,
where is the law which makes such
a man ineligible2 Nothing is more
dangerous than this spirit which
prompts the assuming Of laws to fit
cases after the case have already de
veloped-assuming laws that do not
exist!
If a legislator Of Utah, acting in the
legal way may elect a senator duly
qualified and he may be refused his
seat, why many not a senator from
Florida be treated in the same way?
What becomes of the rights Of the
states or the freedom Of the people!
No one denies that Senator SmOot
personally is of spOtless character
The only fault found with him is his
assOciations-that by body that stiA
holds, Plat, Depew and Buckley
among its unchallenged members.
If Senator SmOot is unjustly de-
prived of his seat, this injustice is to
one man. If Utah is deprived in part
of her representation this injustice is
TO one state. But If popular clamor
can supply the place Of law in the at
tack on one man and one
state. why may it not assail another
man and another state and still others
until law is ignored, liberty over
thrown and all respect for human
rights blotted out?

NEGRO HoopLUMIsM.

Editor Pensacola Journal:
I wish to call attention to a new
form of hoodlumism which is even
worse than the cowardly attack upon
Miss White.
On Sunday evening about g o'clock,
n noticed five or six negro lads and
young men who were gathered on the
sidewalk at the eastern corner Of the
Y. NJ. G. A. building. The street is
dark there, being shaded by trees on
both sides. They whispered together
and several of them crossed the street
and seemed to be busy about some
thing, which 1 could not understand.
Presently they all gathered behind the
corner of the building and waited. In
a few minutes two men passed down
on the other side and as they came
opposite there was a crash, and large
stone fell fortunately Just in front
Of them, while the perpetrators ran
on around the building and made their
escape. From the sound, l think it
would have severely injured the per-
sons, If they had been struck but
fortunately the trap was sprung a mo-
ment too soon.
Last night the attempt was repeat
ed by the same or a similar crowd.
They secured a large rock and were
in the act Of suspending 1t, when a
member of nv household who had
been out watching them called out
that if they did not go away she would
telephone for a policeman, upon which
they hurried away and did not re.
turn.
l make this matter public that citi-
zens and especially the police may
be on the alert TO prevent such muir
derous attacks and arrest the wrong
doors If possible.

No possible excuse could then be
urged for being found armed without
having first obtained a license, hence
there would be none of that consider
alton for the offender which so often
at present results in his escaping pun
ishment. The law will then say in

would be comparatively few.
