very good argument in favor of the

Whipping Instead
of Imprisonment.

According to The Jacksonville Ne
tropolis a belief exists in some quar-
ters that the whipping post for minor
offenses would serve the enns Of
justice better than Imprisonment,
and, according to the same authority,
1t is possible that the matter may be
taken up by the next legislature.
Here is what the Metropolis has to
say on the subject:
There is a tendency in this state TO
have the next legislature pass a Jaw
authorizing the infiiction by certain
courts of whipping persons for va
rious misdemeanors instead of fines
and Imprisonment II is asserted
that nothing fits the crimes as well

Of new land that would be rendered
available for cultivation and the prob
able money it would bring to the
state treasury. Then the problem OF
further prosecution Of the work could
be calculated upon with some GER
tainty of arriving at an intelligent
and soundly based conclusion.
The Times admits a paTtiality To-
wards the prospect of having many
millions of acres Of first-class farm
ing lands opened to settlement in its
immediate vicinity Should the Ever

might open to our trade thousands Of
new homes occupied by men Of enter
prise and accommodating wealth. Our
city is nearer than any other to the
lands proposed to be redeemed and
our people would reap much benefit,
more than in proportion to the state
at large. There are people in Lee
county, within the drainage district,
who favor the scheme because they
believe in it. Some of them are gen.
telemn in whom the Times has much
confidence.
For these reasons mainly our plea
that the governor be allowed a fair
chance to develop his plans at least to
the stage Of ascertaining their feast
bility and the cost of putting them
through. If he is right it would be
an everlasting blunder and pity to
arrest him on the threshold.

CONSERVATIVES ARE
TURNING TO BRYAN
New York Tribune.
E%%%R2SSESse &ksS%z@z&a

William ]. Bryan will have the sup.
port in the next Democratic national
convention of the very men from this
city, who fought him twice and who
finally nominated ex-Judge Parker al
St Louis, two years ago. In the Dem
ocratic Club there is talk of arrang-
ing a reception in his honor on his re-
turn from his tour around the world
Delancey Nicoll, aweek ago, at the
Democratic Club, eulogized Mr.. Bryan
as an honorable Democrat. His dec
laTatiOn at the time aroused a lot of
comment, but it was favorable com
ment.
Mr. Nicoll is vice chairman of the
Democratic Committee, and will re-
main in that position until the assemb-
ling Of the next national convention.
In his speech he voiced the deep hos
tility of the socalled Cleveland wing
Of the Democratic party to William R.
Hearst, who is regarded with a rap
idly growing dread by the conserva-
tive Democrats of this city.
The kindly feeling toward Bryan or
the part of the good Democrats
amounting to a willingness to support
him for the head Of the next national
ticket, is pointed out as a surprising
object lesson of the spread of radical
ism in the Democracy. A prominent
member of the Democratic Club, in
commenting on the situation tonight,
said:
UNLESS Hearst should run away
with the organization before 1908, you
will see the conservative Democrats
of this city supporting Bryan for the
nomination two years from now. Bry-
an has become less radical and could
be counted on to give good admin.
istratiOn if he should be elected, while
on the other hand the conservative
Democrats and for that matter, Re-
publicans, are willing to go a good
deal further along radical lines than
they were in 1895 or 1900.
while Hearst is a man of capital,
he is too much Of Socialist to suit
the conservative Democrats, and for
that reason, more than for any other,
they will oppose him. Bryan, on the
other hand, while good deal of a
radical has been broadenod by study
and travel a1i observation, and could
be trusted by the men in the Demo
cratic organization who opposed him
before to run things sensibly if he
should be elected President"

Clean the City,

Editor Pensacola Journal
I have read your editorial in Sun
days issue relative to the price the
city's first improvement bonds
realized, which is certainly very
fattering and demonstrates the con-
fdence the people in this section
have in Pensacola's future.
The city should maintain that con-
fidence and not by its acts create
distrIIst this summer and perhaps
jeopardize the peoples health and
cause suspicion. The writer has
read an advertisement in the Engi-
neering Journal calling for bids on
4S miles Of sewers to be let on April
18th. By June miles of street will
be torn up. The people need the
sewers badly, but it will not
do to dig up the streets this summer,
for reasons known to US all. In the
minds of many of our citizens this
was partly the cause of Pensacola's s
misfortune last summer.
Clean up the city, build the city
buildings. defer digging up streets
until fall. Ali preliminary plans for
the sewers can be made this sum-
mer, but work should not be started
before middle Of October.
We must proceed slowly for a few
months, on all excavation work

The National
Quarantine Bill

Southern newspapers, with the ex-
ceptiOn Of a few Texas publications,
are almost unanimous in favor Of
national control of quarantine
Florida papers, especially, have all
along advocated such a measure and
new that Congress has about agreed
on the details of the bill, their views
on the measure, as it stands at pres
ent are particularly interesting. The
Jacksonville Times-UniOn has the fol-
lowing to say upon the subject:
The passage Of the Mallory quar-
antine bill places the care Of the
health of the country in the hands of
the Federal government. and we
think the results will be much more
satisfactory than under the old Sys-
TEN of State guarantees.
Ii viii secure uniformity. Ii will
prevent one state from making a
health war on another. Ii is in line
with that policy, which all approve,
which prev ents states from levyiBg
duties against each other, from
making war one with another, from
interfering with interstate commerce
or from hampering it in any way
There was a time when We would
have insisted on Florida regulating
her own quarantine affairs Yellow
fever was not so well understood
then as now and the Federal health
authorities were not as well prepared
70 fight the disease as they are now.
Remove the cause and the effect will
cease. In this case the cause is re-
mOveG every year. Prevent its re-
turn.
Great Inconvenience and injury Is
caused every year by state Quaran-
tine regulations that are caused by
panic. II is much better to shut the
disease in than 10 shut it out Only
a narrow Gordon around an infected
spot Is needed in addition to the
TrecautiOn Of screening if the exist
enec of the disease is quickly dis
covered. n it is not discovered until
there are many points Of infection a.
Gordon around a district that will in
clude all of them is needed. With
this work properly done there is no
need elsewhere of quarantins. The
precautions in infected localities will
be in the hands OF men whose opin-
ions viii be respected in all the
states and whose powers will be sGf-l
ficient to compel obedience and the
uninfected country will be free TO-
pursue its business unhampered by
suspicion and fear.

brother to the door just then and deliv-

sent from one Of the Stores.

Ognize it. Florence wants you to put it

Varick slipped the doll under his coat
and got behind the curtain without at
tracing Beauty's attention His artistic
instinct and training enabled him to
place the doll in spot where it could
not escape attention. Having done this.
he proceeded to light the candles on the
tree.
When all was ready he lowered the
shade over the big studio window In or

liant tree.

girl and copying some of the language
of Mr.. Chase's book. this tree is all

come from our hearts to you. We wish
you to remember
But Beauty seemed to find this dis
course alarming. She hid her face and
made a feint OF crying. After much
petting and whispering by Florence the
child was persuaded to turn toward the
curtain again and even displayed some
small signs of enthusiasm.
She'll be great when she sees it."
said Varick. Don't hold her too tight,
ly. Let her run. want to see just
how she does it. Noww
Suddenly he swept the curtain aside,
and at the same moment Florence re-
leased her hold upon the child. The re-
moval of the gentle hands which had
held her frightened Beauty, and she
shrank back till she could get a good
grip Of Florence's skirt Thus sus-
tanned, she stood staring at the tree,
her eyes widening and her face bright
ening. But she was immovable and
speechless.
Just like the othersw groaned Var
lex. "She doesn't do thing. But she
likes it, though. l can see that. She'll
be all right in minute"

Beauty looked around timidly and
whispered an unintelligible word.

Beauty's pose became less trancelike.
She seemed to be struggling with some
thing in the nature Of an idea.
''1iner' she said, with difficulty.
"Oh-hr
She took the least little step forward.
Yes, yours" whispered Florence;
"all for you."f
Slowly the child crept forward step
by step and dragging Florence after
her. 1t was a wonderful display Of
courage. Beauty brayed the unfamil-
lar, dazzling, menacing apparition in
the corner for the sake Of the dolly |
which lay in its embrace. Having won

already. But had a few illusions in
