Use Convicts for
Building Good Roads.

The Journal has always opposed the
convict lease system and advocated
! the employment OF the state convicts
upon public works. It is pleased
( therefore to note that so influential
a paper as the Miami Metropolis also
favors that plan and comments on 1t
sas follows:
The Metropolis has never been in
favor of the convict lease plan. 1t be-
lieves that they should be utilized in
public improvements in the county in
which they are sentenced, and the
more that Is seen of the progress be-
ing made in roadbuilding in Dade
county, the more strongly becomes its
opinion that convict labor could not
be used to better advantage or pur-
pose.
Dade county Is famous already for
Ats good roads, built in the main by
convict labor, and this work Is still
progressing just as rapidly as eighty
five able bodied convicts can advance

Put Resolutions
Into Effect Tomorrow.

Tomorrow is the first OF the month
and the first Of the month is usually
the day on which good resolutions
are made or plans are put into effect
! for the months work.
The coming month also Is the one
during which the public is getting
ready for the winter necessities and
comforts of life, and for the holiday
presents which form so big feature
of this season of the year.
Taking all of these things together,
the merchants of Pensacola should
lsee the logic of the situation and re-
solve

business which the coming two
months are sure to bring, and
Second: To map out campaign of

If the newspaper correspondents

authors, as rule, idle, worthless
white men or worse negroes, who are
trying to evade giving a just return in
labor for the money advanced to meet
their necessities. And the attention
the government is giving to these
men, who should be handled by the
vagrancy laws, is only further com.
plicating a labor problem that bids
fair to paralyze the south's greatest
industries.

Mrs. Ruffin's hero is the first king Of
Norway and the splendid scene in her
book describes his coronation at
1rondheim the same ancient city that
witnessed the browning of King
Haakon. So much Importance has
been attached in Europe to 'The
North Star" as valuable work of his
tory and literature that the King and
Queen Of Norway have sent Mrs.

tofore has been supplied by the coun.

Last NIGHTS Play.

Ldoh tNtSHL
For the first time "The Girl Patsy"
was presented in Pensacola last night.
The attendance, however, was very
email, and the play deserved a much
more liberal patronage. u
The Girl Patsy" Is a drama il
four acts. II is bsilt upon the old,
time-worn plot Of the exchange of two
babies in the cradles, and. the subse-
quent incidents of such a deed in af-
ter years. There is really nothing
new about any of 1t. Il Is that same
old story OF two women, one rich and
one poor, loving the same man and
the ultimate victory Of the moniless
one.
Still the story Is well told and there
Is a charm about it that is captivat-
ing. The audience readily enters in
to the plot and works up sympathy
for the heroine.
None of the players are featured;
in fact, the company is not very
strong. though the attraction was a
pleasing one.
