ICE TRUST
SEVERELY ARRAI GNED

Editor Pensacola Journal:
Are the citizens of this community
to longer submit to the tryany and
oppression of the Ice Trust that fla
grantly and daily outrages it? Fefore
)Shis trust was formed the service
was good. Now that it controls, the
last thing thought of is duty to the
public and the first the economy with
which it can conduct its business. The
consequence is there is no certainty
when ice will be delivered 20 house
holders, and as often happens resort
Is had to the manager of this trust
fol action. On North Hill it is 8 p.
IN. before delivery occurs.
Will the citizens longer submit and
sit supinely and not demand and
insist upon better service than they
are getting?
If the cost to manufacture ice IS
81 so per ton and the price charged
to the city is 800 to $500 per ton
the trust has no cause to complain On
the profit they are realizing.
AS the ice trust at Jacksonville
is being investigated. 1t being alleged
that they are doing business in de-
fiance of the laws of the state and
in restraint of trade and as some OF
the members of that trust are men,
bers of this one, here is an oppor-
tunity for the solicitor to get busy
and investigate so the citizens of
this community can be delivered from
this grasping monopoly.

WHERE IS PURE oIET'
Mobile Herald.

The public by this time fully realizes
that the Packingtown products Of CAN
ned disregard for law and deviled de-
ception are not agreeable to digestion,
the system, or good taste. 1t may seem
easy to avoid the evil by the simple
means of abstaining from all meats.
But it Is a primal law Of nature that
people must eat. Hunger is the first
and strongest instinct.
1t seems easy to determine not 20
eat discredlted meat, but to find any
thing of guaranteed purity to take its
place is not easy.
Incorporated greed is not engaged
exclusively in the meat business. 1t
also he's monopoly Of most other kinds
of food.
The house of representatives the other
day, to gain light for pure food legis-
lation, inspected samples of practical

brand Of breakfast food were there.
So. too, were gayly colored samples

Is augmented by the blows that are
shOwered upon him, and in his des-

the assaults Of those whom he has
right to imagine have become mad
men, he snaps and snarls and bites.
It is but natural that he should. Self
defense Is the first law of nature to
dogs as well as to men.
The bite of dog may develop blood
poisoning, but so may the bite OF any
other animal under certain conditions
1t is the part of wisdom to try to
avoid being bitten by anything wit

wise to fall into a paroxyism OF fear
and desire to kill every time a ner-
vous or sick dog is seen on a sum-

Our contemporary, The Pensacola
Journal, seems to have been proseiyted
by the administration propaganda OF
a lock canal, though the two senator's
from Florida, one of them member
of the committee on inter-oceanic ca
nails, voted. for the sea-level type, and
practically the entire democratic party
in the senate voted likewise.-Jack-
sonville Times-Union.
There have been many arguments
advanced for and against both the lock
and the sea level plans, both of which
have their advantages and disadvan-
tages.. The only thing The Journal is
"proselyted' to is some kind of ditch
across the isthmus of Panama and the
sooner it is completed the sooner will
the southland reach the goal of COM
mercial greatness.

Why are These Men
Immune from Punishment?

The action taken by the attorney
general of the United States looking
to an investigation into the methods
of the Standard Oil Company is 1audi.
BILE, but public enthusiasm over the
matter is tempered by the official
statement that 1t will be impossible
to secure indictments against the
head men of the oil monopoly, John
D. Rockefeller, ]. D. Archbold and
one or two others. Just why it Is i'm
possible to secure an indictment
against these men who are directing
a monopoly that defies the laws of
the land does not appear, but If they
are criminals they should be treated
the same as other malefactors and
held answerable to the law for their
crimes.
1t has been demonstrated time and
time again that the Standard Oil
octopus cares nothing for the law, or
anything else that stands in the way
Of dividends. It's whole history has
been one of infamous acts and des-
picable deeds, ever crushing and
grinding that the steady flow OF
money into its Golfers should be con-
tinually augmented SO that its lead
ers, entrenched behind bulwark of
gold, might blare out defiance, not
only at those who had suffered at
their hands, but at the laws Of the
nation as well.
1t has come. to a pretty pass. when
the attorney general of this great
country openly makes the statement
that it is impossible to punish any
guilty man, whether he be a laborer
or Croesus, tifler of the soil or the
director of the destinies of the great
est monopoly the world has ever
known. Prisons were made for the
rich as we'll as the poor, and it is a
travesty upon justice. upon our boast
ed freedom and the constitutional doc
Urine of equal rights that a coterle
of men can wilfully and openly ,vio-
late the laws of the land without fear
of punishment.
The legal mouthpiece Of the repub-
lican administration has stated that
these men cannot be punished If
guilty. Will the gentleman explain
to a long suffering public why they
cannot be punished if guilty of crime?

The Recently Enacted
Pure Food Law.

One of the most important matters
that received favorable consideration
at the hands of the Fifty-ninth Con
gress was the pure food law. and its
passage vitality affects the welfare OF
every person, man, woman and child,
throughout the length and breadth OF
the country.
Adulteration. of food. within the past
few years, has become the rule rather
than the exception and few were the
products that could pass muster al
the hands of an analytical chemist.
Now all this WILL be changed and if
the people see fit to consume adult
terated gods they will do so knowingly
as, under the new law, manufacturers
are compelled to print on the labels
of goods sold all of the ingredients
which enter into their composition.
Fierce competition and CONNER
cialism, is of course, responsible for
the practice of adulteration and manu-
facturers have been led,- in the hope
of securing enormous profits, to de-
viate from the straight and narrow
path after the original product Of
their plants had secured reputation
on the market. Corporate greed, in
cases where gigantic monopolies con-
trolled any one product has much TO
answer for from the adulteration OF
food products and it is doubtful, even
with the pure food law operative, If
adulteration does not continue, to a
certain extent, with the more harm
less ingredients in order that the
lust for gold on the part of unscrupu.
lous manufacturers may be satisfied
Strict enforcement of the provisions
of the pure food law will be of un-
told benefit to the people Of the Unit
ed States and Will tend to create
confidence in the minds. of foreign
consumers, thus charging the field for
American exports and in that way in.
directly beneflting the whole people.

evil diminishing, II seems to be on
the increase. The concealed deadly
weapon will continue to be in evidence
so long as public sentiment is not
aroused against the homicide prac-
tice.-Age-Herald.
Birmingham is not the only city
menaced by the pistol toter, and, al
though stringent laws have been en-.
acted to suppress the evil, the solu.
ton of the problem seems nearly as
far in the future as ever.
1t has been amply demonstrated
that fine or few days imprison-
ment in jail has no terror for the man
who makes a practice of carrying a
gun. and it would seem that a prison

those guilty of this reprehensible
practice. the possession of a pistol be-

way it can be broken up.

The Mad Dog Craze
is Now in Season.

Pensacola, In common with nearly
all large cities, has dog ordinance
but, while a number of cities REQUIRE
that dogs running at large during
the summer months be muzzled, TIE
only requirement here is that ne
owners of dogs disgorge $3.50. into the
city treasury for a license which al.
lows the licensed dog to ramble
around at will. %
There always exists more or less
fear that dogs will go mad in the
summer time and although a dog suf.
fering from rabies is seldom seen the
feeling remains in the minds of timid
people. In this connection the fol-
lowing article on the subject of mad
dogs. from the Savannah News, will
prove of interest, possibly of benefit:
