The Journal is not an advocate of

termine in its own mind what would
be best for the state.
But The Journal, as well as every

What Matters 1t Where
the Money Comes From?

In publishing the plain answer
which Col. Choate, of the Florida
News Bureau - essayed to make to The
Journals pointed questions as to who
was putting up the dough for the
support Of his great anti-drainage
educational work, the Ocala Banner
says:
As a soft answer turneth away
wrath" so a plain answer" ought to
silence suspicion and compel argu-
ment to be met with argument.
The following answer of the Flor
ida News Bureau to The Pensacola
Journal tells why It was created, who
is paying for its continuance and
that what it does is done in the
open"
This, it seems to US, ought to 81
lence criticism along this line. A good
plan is to meet argument with argu-
ment, and not lug in irrelevant mat
tiers. What matters it whether John
Smith or Bill Jones is the author of
an article if the article itself is fair,
decent and pertinent to the issue? If
the governor has right on his side and
is the repository Of all the facts, it
seems to US that he would be glad of
the opportunity to answer what the
opponents of his drainage scheme
have to say so as to have the pleasure
of filling them with confusion and put
ting them to fight.
We know the following 'plain an
Swer" of Mr.. Choate, head Of the bu-
IL J,
therefore give it publication in our
columns.
It will be noted that the "Ocala
BdftOr" can find nothing better to say
of the childish answer itself than that

enough to know how to minimize the
latter evil. We are vigilant in de-

The Journal says that Pensacola is
a city Of $4,000 people, and she has
yet no means for the reduction or dis
posal OF the hundreds of tons of gar
bage that annually accumulates
throughout the place. To one who
does not live here and know the cOndi-

remarkable statement. but It is a fact
nevertheless. The garbage which Is
collected at certain points in the city,

man to succeed the present incumbent
of the White House
We dislike, of course, to interfere
with our contemporary program In
this case, but we greatly fear that the
Hon. Benjamin r. has about reached
the summit of his political career. He
was selected manager of Mr.. Roose-
velt's railroad rate bill in the senate
and that ought to be enough glory for
any mere man whose ambition rests
this side of the clouds.
AS to The Journal and Mr.. Hearst,
we supported him for the nomination
in 1904 because we believed him at
that time much the strongest man
with the psOple Of any who were con
testing for democratic leadership. We
believed him infinitely stronger than
the gold brick candidate whom Hill
and. Belmont palmed of on the party
and we think the result Of the election
demonstrated that he could, at least,
hardly have been weaker.
1T may develop that Mr.. Hearst will
still be the strongest man for the
democrats to nominate in 1908, but if
Mr.. Bryan desires the nomination he
will unquestionably get it and he will,
in The Journals opinion. poll more
votes for president than any other
man whom the democratic party could
nominate.

Don't feed brooder chicks too soon
after they are Matched. Twenty-four to
forty-eight hours and even longer will
do no harm. A writer to Western Poul-
try Journal says that he feeds nothing
for the first three days and seldom
loses a chick, where before he had Of
ten taken the dead chicks from the
brooder in such numbers that it fairly
made him sick. Just before the chick
breaks the shell the yolk is absorbed
into the abdomen and thus furnishes
food for the little pepper for some
time. Feeding too soon binders the
proper assimilation Of this yolk, which
is the food provided by nature, causes
it to ferment and thus literally poisons

The Miami bar has endorsed the

Justice of the Supreme Court. The

Bile of judging a mans ability for such
a highly responsible office than the
common public. The legal fraternity
of Florida have endorsed both Mr..
WhitieId and Mr.. c.. B. Parkhill for
denomination and election as Supreme
Court Justices, therefore their candi-
dacy should be seriously considered
by all concerned. Both have proven
themselves honest and capable in the
discharge Of the duties, and there be-

for opposition they should receive an
