Even The Ocala Banner
Cannot Answer the Question

The Journals attention has beer
directed to the following from the
Ocala Banner which it somehow
failed TO note at the time it originally
appeared. The Banner says:
Some time ago The Pensacola
Journal evinced a very strong desire
to know who it was putting up tae
money to fight Governor Broward',
drainage proposition:

As our Pensacola contemporary has

in referring TO a statement that
should long ago have appeared. in the
state press:
This statement from the un6'er
signed representative citizens of the
drainage district is an appeal to the
people Of Florida for relief from the
intolsrable injustice Of the present

Bryan's Nomination Predicted
by Golfers Weekly.

Golfers Weekly for June g pre-
diets the nomination Of William Jen
nings Bryan at the next national Dem
ocratic convention. 1t says:
IL Mr.. Bryan is nominated, as nov
seems probable. the democratic party
will mean that il trusts the spirit
more than it distrusts the letter;
trusts his seriousness and devotion
20 the average man more than it dis
trusts an intellect which oftens goes
astray after shallow remedies.
Events have helped him more thar
he has helped himself, but he has not
been without his share in bringing
bis party's opinion around in his 4
rection. His support of the presi
dent was one astute and large-mindei
decision, and his calm and judiclous
essay on socialism was another.
The feeling of the country, how.
ever, that the railroads have partly
triumphed in the rate bill contest
and that the vested interests control
the tariff, and that money gener.
ally is the ruling power, is what
helps Bryan most. Next TO that. per-
hsps, is the feeling Of loyalty that is
strong In humankind. His very de-
tests, In his campaigns, and especially
IN the buncoed convention Of 1904,
have left him stronger with the mid
dle-western voters, who always have
been the basis Of his strength.
Feeling that he has never had a
fair opportunity, that he had more
votes than Mckinley in one election,
that life insurance and other corpora
ton money is now shown clearly to
have been used in large sums to com,
pass his defeat, and that the men
who dominated the convention OF 1904
were corporation servants as thor
OUgh as Aldrich himself, the Bryan
following is looking eagerly for a con.
test on more even terms.
This prediction from so close an OBJ,
server Of popular sentiment as Col.
lier's Weekly is worth more than a
passing thought and it justifes the
hope Of Mr.. Bryan's friends that the
country at large is now ready to &C.
cept the great democrat at his true
worth.
The now firmly fixed conviction that
Bryan was robbed Of his election in
1896, and the feeling Of disgust on
the part OF democrats and contempt
on the part Of the whole country over
the democratic party's sell-out in the
St. Louis convention OF 1904 have an
conspired to make Bryan the greatest
American citizen in private life to-
day.
Golfers is right. Bryan will be-
nominated in 1908, and it might have
zone further and with equal correct
ness predicted that he viii be elect

The Full School Term.
The Pensacola public schools will
not close until the last of June This
is because they did not open, last fall,
until November l, supposedly on &C
count of the prexalence.of the epidem-
ic. They will open at a. m. and
close at from 12-noOn to 1 and 1870 D.
m, according to the grade, during
June. Superintendent Cook calls at
tention to the fact that there are few,
if any, homes in the city more com.
Portable than the public school rooms.
This is probably true of any southern
city. II is the confinement in hot
weather, not the heat Of the rooms,
that tells on the pupils health, mas
much as another month of schooling
is necessary to I'LL out the legal re-
quirement Of eight months schooling
each year, and as the weather has
been unseasonably cool during May,
Pensacola's school children will not
suffer by continuing the school term
until the usual eight months have
elapsed. To do otherwise would be
to deprive the children Of their due.

SalYation ArmY,
The English Police.

In the conduct Of the police depart
ment in an English city we find
striking comparison with our Amer
lean notion Of police work. In Man
chester, as in London, the policeman
is always the servant Of the public.
As in London, he carries neither club
nor revolver. His duties are very
nearly the same as those Of a New
York officer. 1t Is In his method o.,
doing his work that the striking d.f-
ference lies. He Is always quiet, o.
ways neat, always respectful, even
deferential, In his treatment Of the
public. Such overbearing manners az
we sometimes see IN New York police
men would not be tolerated IN Man

Peanut Politics.
Business is business" and politics
may, therefore, be presumed to be pol
itics.
Nevertheless, the business Of poll
tics is often conducted in a manner
that no reputable business man would
for moment tolerate in the manage
ment of his own affairs.
Why this should be so is difficult to
explain. There seems to be no ade-
quate reason why the game of politics
should be played with dirty cards or
why men of standing and reputation
should be made the target for bitter
personalities the moment they enter
the political arena.
The demand for purity in politics
has gone up throughout the land. But
that is not enough.
Every intelligent citizen should take
an interest in politics, and should so
use his intelligence as to hasten the
coming of the day when peanut poll
tics" shall be at, a discount, and per-
sOnalities shall no longer be substitute

pie Of this occurred during the hear
ing Of the senate committee on Pa

status of citizens Of the United States
when the following colloquy took
place:

Mr.. Larrinaga-"Yes / have intro

Here is a man who enjoyed the
privileges of place upon the floor
of the national congress, who can par,
ticipate in national legislation, but
who is not and cannot become an

danger of the vessel breaking up is
therefore much more greater now than
it was before.
1t was stated by people on the water
front this morning that the vessel
ought to have been run into Pearl
Harbor channel where she could have
struck on a soft bottom instead of be-
ing driven against a hard rock or coral
where she is now thought to be
Efforts will it is thought, be made
to get the water pumped out of the
Sheridan promptly so that she can be
hauled off the ground again and hur-
ried to Honolulu as fast as possible.
BARRIERS Point is about u miles from
Pearl Harbor so if the Sheridan was
towed IL miles, she may be able to
stand towing the remaining six to this
port. 1t is a question whether she can
be repaired sufficiently at Honolulu to
make her worth any place in the fleet.
Certainly the local marine railway IS
able to accommodate the vessel, so
that repairs can be made to her. 1t
may not be possible to repair the Sher-
idan so that she can go from here to
San Francisco where final repairs can
be made to her.
The impression here is that the peo-
pie aboard the transport had a narrow
escape from drowning this morning
She was high out of the water when
she first came off the reef, but an eX-
animation of her through the marine
glasses, shows that she had evidently
settled considerably in the water
The fault would seem to lie with the
temporary engines that had been put
aboard her to keep the water out OF
her.

NO
ANTI FOREIGN
OUTBREAK
ONE OF THE SECRETARIES GF
AMERICAN LEGATION SAYS NO
GENERAL OUTBREAK LIKELY.

r. w. Haskins one of the secretaries
of Chinese affairs at the American lega-
ton at Peking, is one of the passengers
left here by the 5. S. Mongolia. He is
in Honolulu awaiting transportation
by one of the other mail vessels this
week. Haskins who is a graduate of
the University of California has been
connected with the American legation
for the last four years. He has had
opportunity of observing Chinese GUS
toms and general conditions i'm that
empire and has some highly interest
ing information to give. Being able
to speak the Chinese language, Has
kins has been under especially add
vantageous circumstances to observe
events in China.
"The talk of there being any general
anti-foreign outbreak in China" he
said lis, l think, without foundation.
There will undoubtedly, be sporadic
outbreaks but they will not be very eX-
tensive in character. The Chinese
government realizes that a general out
break against the foreignersu would re-
suit i'm the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the en-
pire.

tutional form of government was UNI

Nm not able to state what the result
of the conference was.
"The Japanese influence is being
rapidly felt throughout China. One
very strong element in bringing the
Chinese under the control of the Jap
anese influence is the newspapers.
Formally the ignorance of the Chinese
was incredible. There were practi-
cally no newspapers but following the
Chinese-Japanese war, native news
papers began to spring up. The Chi
nese have become assiduous readers
of these papers and form their OPT
MONS and ideas from them. The Jap
anese have secured control Of a very
large number of newspapers i'm China

Chinese papers to work i'm their in

AMERICAN
ALBA7BOSS
NOT LOST
FORMER SCIENTIST ON AMERICAN
VESSEL THINKS THAT ANOTHER
CRAFT WAS LOST IN TYPHOON.

According to advices brought by the
S. S. Mongolia the S. 5. Albatross re-
ported sunk with 143 souls in the ty-
phoon at Hong Kong, was not the fish
commission vessel at all, but an en-
tirely different craft. The dispatch
indicated that the Albatross was the
American fishing commission steamer
that is well known here. But later
information goes to indicate that the
American vessel was not at Hong
Kong during the disaster
H. b. Torrey a professor in the Uni
versity of California, Is authority for
this belief. He was attached to the
American Albatross and left the vessel
on September 10 at Yokohama to take
the Mongolia for home. The American
Albatross was at that time in the har-
Dor of Yokohama and Torrey says that
she had had no orders up to the time
he left, to go to Hong Kong. She
was on the contrary, under orders to
go to Saghalien Island to the north
ward
But aside from the question of orders
Torrey mentions two other circum-
stances that go to disprove the report
that it was the American boat sunk.
The American Albatross carried not
over 20 men while the Albatross that
was sunk had 143 souls aboard, 1t is
hardly likely therefore that it could
have been the American boat While
Torrey was connected with the scien-
tihc staff of the Albatross, mail intend
ed for another vessel named Albatross,
,frfa to
vessel. Evidently the vessel that was
sunk was the other and larger craft
and the American escaped.
