Getting Ready for
Big Christmas Edition.

The Journal is now engaged in pre-
pairing matter for it's big Christmas
Edition which will be issued next
month and that number promises to
be a notable one.
Everyone remembers The Journals
Christmas Edition last year and
everyone also remembers the magnifi.
cent Housewarming Edition which
was issued just before the Sep
TENDER storm and for which calls
have not yet ceased coming in.
We cannot promise that the forth,
coming Christmas Edition will be any
better than the Housewarming Edi-
ton, but We can say this-next to the
latter 1t will be the finest paper The
journal has ever issued, and that is
saying a good deal.
Advertisers should begin to prepare
their copy at once for the Christmas
number. Buyers have come to look
upon The Journal as the special
guide for Holiday buying, just as it
is the buyers guide at all other times
OF the year. Attractive advertising
during the Holidays is what gets the
trade, and it should form as much a
part of the merchants business as it
is to supply himself with a good
stock to sell.
The Journal has never failed to
make good for all of its advertisers,
but special effort will be made this
year to give those advertisers the
very best that hard work. ability. a
tremendous circulation, and a careful
and interest In their inter-
ests will produce.
Get ready for The Journals Christ
mas Edition.

The Vote on the

telligently, and this seems to be q
case that proves the proposition.
We are not Influenced in this opin.
ion by any feeling either of disap-
pointment or of dissatisfaction over
the defeat OF any particular amend
ment, but We are led to the conclu-
sion by the peculiar difference in the
vote on these amendments as cast by
the various counties throughout the
state. We can illustrate this pc
culiarity by citing just two counties
Columbia and Santa Rosa.
In Columbia county all Of the
amendments were defeated. In Santa
Rosa county all of the amendments
were carried. And In each county
the vote on all of the amendments
was practically the same, the vote on
the drainage amendment being a little
heavier than on the others.
The vote on the drainage amend
ment in each of these counties is
easily explained. Santa Rosa county
approved OF the drainage scheme and
Columbia county disapproved of it,
and each voted accordingly. On
this question the voters Of each county
knew what they wanted and their
votes were cast intelligently in &C.
cordance with their wishes.
But on the other amendments they
voted just as they did on the drain
age amendment. There was really no
connection between this amendment
and the other four-why then should

PENSACOLA. FLA, SUNDAY MORNING, NovERBER is 1906
the vote have been the same right on
down the ticket?

The amendment providing for the
establishment of a court of record in
Escambia county could not affect in
the remotest degree the interests of
the people of either Columbia county
or Santa Rosa county. yet the former
voted against 1t and the latter voted
for 1t. There had been no campaign
either for or against this amendment
in either one of these counties, the
people of one county could have no
more reason for being for it or against
it than the people of the other county,
and still their votes were Numerically
opposed to each other.
There is only one way to account
for this peculiar and contradictory po-
sition on the part of these two coun-
ties on a question in which neither
one had the remotest interest.
The chief issue of the campaign
was the drainage amendment. Every
voter knew how he wanted to vote
on that questionable other amend
ments he had not studied. II was of
no particular importance to him
whether they were carried or de-
feated.
The Australian ballot is a some
what difficult ballot to vote even for
many intelligent men, and in the mat
ter of constitutional amendment it
is an exceptionally hard matter for
an elector to vote just as he desires
to do and to be sure in his own mind
that he has voted that way.
Therefore when the voters of Co
lumbia county went to the polls, being
opposed to the drainage amendment
and wanting to make sure that they
were voting against it, they voted
mo" on every amendment on the bal
lot. For the same reason, the people
of Santa Rosa county, being in favor
of the drainage amendment and want
ing to be sure that they were voting
for it, voted yes" on every amend
ment on the ballot.
1t follows therefore that, with the
exception of their vote on the drain
age amendment, the vote Of the people
Of these two counties was not cast
on the other constitution
al amendments. We have simply
singled out these counties as illustra-
ions, but the same reasoning will in
all probability hold true in every
,ther county in the state

The Wooden Sidewalks
Should Co..

A couple of weeks ago The Journal
called attention to the necessity OF
getting rid Of our unsightly, unsani-
tary, dangerous, and rotten wooden
sidewalks if Pensacola is ever to make
a pretense of becoming city.
The Journals proposition met with
widespread commentator from the
more enterprising of Pensacola's citi-
zens everywhere and there is no doubt
in The Journals mind that vast
majority of the people of the city
would like to see an ordinance passed
I which will prohibit the building OF
any more of these old-fashioned eye
sores and dangerous pitfalls in the
city.
An ordinance absolutely prohibiting
their construction is the only means
by which the wooden sidewalk can be
made to go. The wooden walks that
are now down cannot possibly last
more than five years, and many of
them should be condemned immedi-
ately, but with the ordinance suggest
ed in force we would, at the end Of
five years. have very creditable sys-
tenn of stone or cement walks.
That is what the city wants and the
plan we have suggested is the only
way we can get it. 1t is now up to
the city council to make the first
move.

Pensacola-Jacksonville Train
Should Be Continued.

Information comes to The Journal
that the Pensacola-Ja Jacksonville night
train Is to be taken Off on Nov. 25.
We cannot vouch for the correctness
of the information, but IL II is correct,
and it appears to be, the patrons of
this train will raise a howl that can
be heard from one end Of the line to
the other, and it ought to be heard
and needed too.
When this night service was put on
1t was understood by the travelling
public that it was to be improved
after the venture had proved itself to
be a paying one. And now we hear
that it Is to be taken off altogether.
We think there Is no doubt that this
train has paid both the L. & N. and
the Seaboard Air Line and we think
also that a regular passenger train
instead of mixed affair, as has been
running, would have paid much bet
ter. Leaving Pensacola at 5 in the
afternoon and reaching Jacksonville
the next morning. and the return train
leaving Jacksonville in the afternoon
and reaching Pensacola at 10 in the
morning, formed a service in and out
OF Pensacola that had long been
needed and which, now that it has
been established, will seriously inter-
fere with business If it Is taken off.
This train should not only be con-
tinued, but it should be converted into
regular passenger train, making a
regular schedule. The business men
on this end should make that fact
known to the L. & ~, and those on
the other end should impress it upon
the Seaboard
Pensacola is particularly Interested
and Pensacolas business with the 7,
d N. Railroad is of sufficient import.
ance to justify some immediate as.
surance on the part of that line that
the service will be both continued and
improved.

Defsat ofthe Drainage Amendment

ocaIs Banner. =

We have analysed very carefully
the arguments made against the
drainage amendment and cannot help
believing that the people voted
against it under some confusion and
misunderstanding
The opponents OF the amendment
relied almost solely on the following
arguments:
First. that the adoption of the
amendment would create political
machine.
The drainage commissioners were
merely another name for the internal
Improvement board which has been In
existence for nIty years, exercising
the same powers and charged with the
same duties and responsibilities, and
no charge has been made that 1t has
built up political machine or mas
ever attempted to do so.
Second, that the lands are in huga-
ton.
The proposition the amendment
sought to carry out was to have the
lands drain themselves, and so far
as the results were concerned; that,
if the lands were drained and made
fit for cultivation, and were added to
the taxable resources of the state, 1t
mattered not who they belonged to.
Third, that the members Of the
board were not bonded officers.
Identically the same men that now
constitute the internal improvement
board would have constituted the
drainage board, and three Of the I'VE
are bonded officers, siZ: The comp
troller, the commissioner of agricul-
ture and the treasurer.
The treasurer, for instance, does
not give a separate bond for the
school fund. the road fund, university
fund, ETC., but gives bond covering
all funds of which he is in any way
responsible and this provision covers
the funds derived from the sale of
swamp and overlooked lands" as
other funds in his hands.
The treasurer has been treasurer
OF the fund for fifty years with no adj
ditional bond and not one word of OBJ
lection was ever before raised against
it.
Fourth, that it placed in the hands
of the drainage board unrestricted and
unlimited power.
The very wording of the amendment
restrained the commissioners and
limited their powers. The amend
ment fixed the amount Of taxes that
could be levied and restricted the levy
to swamp and overlooked lands"
There never was a board more re-
strained and limited Lands in the

We have heard some mighty good
and intelligent men say that the buiJd.
ing of a railroad to hey West is an
impossible proposition, but IT is being
done. This shows that good and wise
men are very often mistaken.
The final objection against the
adoption of the amendment was that
the lands, if drained, are valueless.
Some of the pioneers in the Ever.
glades section, whose veracity stands
high in the public estimation, say the
lands are the richest in the world,
and II drained would add a rich sec

RED OR GREEN.
Color Troubles Of the Color BIfna
Poet, Whittier.

Poet, Whittier.
It is well known that the poet Whit.
tier was color blind and unable to dis
tinguish red from green. He once
bought for himself necktie which he
supposed to be Of a modest and suit
able olive tint and wore 1t once. He
never wore 1t again, for his friends
soon made him aware that It offended
against the traditional Quietness Of
costume enjolned alike by the habits
Of the Friends and by his own taste.
The tie was Of flaming scarlet.
On another occasion. when he found
a little girl In distress ,on account Of
a new gown, made over from her elder
sisters, which was not becoming to
her coloring and complexion, he tried
to console her
II wouldn't mind what rude boy
says about II, Mary" he said kindly.
'@Thee looks. very well indeed In II,
like an oreaG. Mary, dressed all IN
green"
Unfortunately, Mary was not dressed
IN green. she was ged haired, and her
dress was red. That was the trouble.
Once on a day In mid-March, when
out walking with Friend and deeply
engaged in conversation. Mr.. Whittier
approached too. near for safety to a
place where blasting was going on.
The danger signal was shown, but
neither Friend NOTICED it until work
man, violently waving his arms and
shouting, leaped before them and
warned them back.
Il didn't see. the dag at all" said
Mr.. Whittier's companion.
Il saw it, rejoined the poet, with
twinkle in his eye, but 1 thought it
was in honor of St Patrick. Thee
