The Pensacola journal., 1906-04-08

Journal maintains all the time-every
day in the week-a force Of canvass
ers whose sole business is to solicit
subscribers TO the paper. There is
not home in Pensacola in which
The Journal has not been placed and
from which "a regular subscription
has not been solicited. The Journal
now goes to seven out of every ten
homes in the city, and it is safe to
say that every one of the homes into
which it does not go is visited on an
average of once every so days by a
Journal solicitor. Ultimately all OF
these will take the paper.
The same methods are pursued on
the out4of-tOwn circulation. The
Journal maintains two travelling rep
resentatives regularly for its outside
business. and about half of the time
it has four men in that field.
The journal advertising is handled
by a regular advertising manager
whose whole time is devoted to that
work and where he requires assist
ance he puts on all the help that is
necessary. There is not a business
man in town who is not regularly
visited by some member of The Jour.
naPs advertising corps, and no con.
tract is sighted, no matter whether
it is a full page display Or a 25-cent
want ad.
As a result of this policy and OF
these efforts, The Journal enjoys an
advertising patronage as large as
that of many papers published in
much larger cities, and four or five
times as large as any other Pensa'
cola paper has ever enjoyed. It's cir,
culation is five times that ever
reached by another Pensacola paper
and in the city of Pensacola it goes
into the homes of more than. three
times as many people as have ever
been reached by any other paper cir.
culating here.
All OF these things cost money
time, and labor, but that is the only
way they can be had. There is no
royal roaa to success in journalism
and the metropolitan showing which
The Journal makes to-day has been
attained only by the hardest kind OF
work and the expenditure of thou.
sands Of dollars in developing the
business which it now enjoys.
And in all this, the enterprise OF
Pensacola merchants has constituted
the rock upon which The Journals
fine business has been built and
which makes possible the metropol
itan showing which Pensacola now
presents.

The Proper Way
To Do Things,

Sometimes the man owns the
house; and sometimes the house
owns the man.
Perhaps you bought that extra

years. When title passed to you
Gt seemed that you had become pretty
important sort Of a fellow, after long
waiting. Il looked as though it would
be a nice thing TO have a steady in
come from a property, as well as
from your daily work. You felt like
q capitalist-or like you imagined a
capitalist must feel-able to make
other things besides your own hands
work for you. And the thought that
upon waking up every morning you
would be a little richer than when
you went to bed was a very comfort
sng one-after so many years Of the
other feeling.
But there seemed 20 be something
wrong somewhere. The rentincOme
of the first three months was swal-
lowed up in nepairs-then the ten,
ants moved out one fine morning
owing you a couple Of months rent.
Taxes were due and payable. The
house needed papering and deco-at-
sng. A new leak in the roof needed
attention. You placed a very pretty
'To Rent" placard in the window;
but the possible tenant walked down
the next street when he was in that
neighborhood
In fact. your house had quit work

Easter Advertisers and
The journals Fine Showing.

One week from to-day is Easter
Sunday, and this big edition of The
Journal is issued primarily for the
purpose of giving Pensacola's bust
ness men an opportunity to tell the
public what they have to offer in the
way Of Easter season styles ana
bargains. The business men have
taken advantage. of this opportunity
and the composite picture of Pensa-
cola enterprise which the advertising
columns of The Journal present to-
day constitutes, we think, d showing
Of which every citizen of the Deep
Water City should feel proud.
The journal at least is proud of
the energy and enterprise which its
advertisers exhibit and gratifed as
well at the metropolitan spirit which
makes possible this metropolitan edi-
ton of the paper today.
And in that connection few words
about The Journal itself may not be
improper at this time.
The success Of The JOurnal-fts
circulation, its advertising patronage,
its growth generally-has been th'
marvel not only of Pensacolians, but
Of the newspaper world everywhere.
That any newspaper, in so short a
time and in a territory so restricted
could ever succeed in building up a
business such as The Journal enjoys
to-day was never dreamed of and a
prediction to that effect would have
been laughed to scorn.
But The Journal does not do bust.

Council Should Investigate
The Electric Light Company.

The Journal is glad to see that the
city council is taking some interest
su the service which the public is
now receiving from the electric light
company, and We hope that interest
will result in a complete inveStiga-

srg business, rates charged for
Rights, compliance with its franchise,
ana the various and sundry other
features in connection with this i'm

That there is little or no enterprise

has long been apparent. Little, if any,
ettempt is made TO get business Il
seems to be a matter Of indifference

In fact. in some cases the Escam-
bia Electric Light and Power Co, ab-

trust the council viii investigate the
obligations assumed by the company
when it was granted a franchise to

It wOul6 also be a good idea to as
certain whether or not the street
lights provided by the company in its
contract with the city are up to con
tract specifications. 1t is difficult tc
measure the amount OF light which q
street lamp is giving, but there is q
pretty definite conviction in the
minds Of a good many people that
our street lights are not UP to the
standard or to the requirements
called for in the contract.
These and q number Of other mat
Aers that might be mentioned In con

THE BOYPROBLEM


The question containing more pos
stbilities for the good or evil OF any
community than any other is, per-
haps, the boy question. The fate OF
this republic Is to-day sleeping In the
boy life of the nation. / am nS0t
writing now about boys in general
but boys in particular; and this par
ticular boy is the city boy. The old
theory was that all good boys were
born in the country, and that a man
to be great must come from the
country. In this kaleidoscope age OF
ours conditions change. When one
tenth of our population was urban
and the other nine-tenths rural, the
city boy had but little show. 1t is
different now when the population is
shifting and the cities contain nearly
One-third Of the entire population of
the country.
There is no denying that city life
Is full Of embarTassmentS to the NOR
ally inclined young man. Pitfalls and
traps await him at every turn. Red
lights and white ones dazzle his
eyes, and bewilder his footsteps
Soft strains entrance him, and siren
voices allure him from every side of
the moral highway. Dynamos vi
brate, and follies fash, and he stands
amid a net work of live wires all
radiating from the power house of
evil.
The summit of society may be as
dangerous as the depths; in trying to
escape Scylla he runs upon
Charybdis. Gilded sinners in high
places and butterflies slipping nectar
in the conservatories of fashion fas-
cinate the innocent when, oftimes,
the gaudY charms Of vice repel. Cut
glass decanters and bejeweled fingers
lend a glamour to the sparkle of the
wine glass exceedingly hazardous to
the young Sometimes when a boy
runs the gauntlet of youthful follies
he stumbles over the temptations of
society.
All the bad boys are not waits in
the street. Some or them are we'll
housed and sumptuously fed; fault
lessly dressed and carefully groOmed.
They sometimes come down to the
police court under assumed names
and go away without the community
knowing of their escapads. Pensa-

There are some boys going to ruin
Just for the want of a little attention.
A simple act of kindness is some
times the turning point in a boys ca

There are some people who seem to

moral and intellectual training OF
their own children their obligation to
society is fulfilled.
Whether your own boy is to be a
SUCCESS or failure, depends very
largely upon the company that sur
rounds him in the future. The very
fortunes whose foundations are being
laid to-day by thrift and enterprise

tons in society. This is the age OF
