.rrn TWENTY AND THIRT"

"TEN, TWENTY AND THiRI"
The show was ten, twenty and thirt,
Hooked up as In days OF old
A chambermaid ready to nlrt,
A heroine, stately and cold
A hero, with romance to burn,
A funny man, ready to joke,
A PARENT, naughty and stern,
A villain who always was broke;
A setting, with scenery western,
Gunpowder and gamblers galore
And this is the show, beyond question,
That makes the gay gallery roar.
Not at all bad show was that

Jewell Kelley Stock Company. In fact,
it might safely be said that this az

given, with all the trimmings. These

Words of Praise
from a Political Opponent.

While some of the so-called Demo
cratic papers and would-be Democratic
statesmen are jeerlng and ridiculing
and lying about Wm. ]. Bryan, Just
as they have regularly jeered and rid
iculed and lied about him for ten
years past, it is gratifying to those
who believe in the man to know that
even his open opponents in the Re
publican party recognize and honor
those qualities in the Great Common,
er which have won him the love of his
own countrymen and made his name
great throughout the civilized world.
The Indianapolis Star, Republican
paper, pays this tribute to the Demo
cratic leader:
Mr.. Bryan's views are often super
fetal and incorrect, but his purposes
are honorable and his ability is I'M
questioned. He can not be terror
lied he can not be muzzled, he can
not be bought.
His head teens with strange no
tons. but his heart is in the right
place. He is humane. just and
steadfast soul Like that other great
American with whom he Is so often
contrasted and compared, he attaches
supreme Importance to moral issues
and Graves for his countrymen the en-
thronement of the spiritual life.
1t can not be denied to, Mr.. Bryan
that long ago he gave utterance 10
the latent conviction Of the American
heart that enormous abuses in high
places cried aloud for reformation and
redress. He caught the spirit of the
time and proclaimed 1t in day when
IL was unpopular. When he said it

Pensacola's Best Autumn
Begins Today.

The best Autumn in Pensacolas
history begins to-day. Everyone is
looking for, and expects, big things.
Labor is fully employed and at good
wages. Business and industry is &C.
tive in all lines. The very atmos-
phcre is redolent of hope and conf
dence, energy and enterprise.
1t is fitting therefore that The
Journal should help usher in the big
gest business season in Pensacola's
history with the biggest edition of a
newspaper ever published in the his
tory of the city and it is significant
also that in this edition the business
men of Pensacola speak to the people
of Pensacola's trade territory in a
way that cannot be misunderstood.
There are more business meE
speaking to the public through the
columns of The Journal this morning
than have ever before spoken to the
same audience at the same time. This
demonstrates that Pensacola business
men not only want your trade, but
they have the enterprise to go after
it. II they have the enterprise to go
after it they must necessarily have the
enterprise to serve you as promptly,
as cheaply, and as satisfactorily in
every way as you could be served
anywhere.
The appearance of The Journal to,
day should be a good indication of
the stability of Pensacola's business
houses and Of the promise for a
record-breaking trade during the com
ing three months. Certainly no such
advertisement of Pensacola has ever
been sent broadcast over the country
before and no such conditions ever
existed to make such an advertise
ment possible before.
And now for business-the biggest
best, most profitable, in the Deer
Water City's history.

An Object Lesson
from Canada.

The Tampa Times not long since
gave its readers-and they are many
"a somewhat interesting object les
son on the feasibility and advantages
of the public ownership of public util.
tiles.
The instance cited by our Tampa
contemporary was certainly an in
structive one, and the following para
graph from the Times states the case
briefly and well:
There is little city over in Canada
named Port Arthur. The people own
every public utility, pay smaller
charges for water, light and tele-
phone service than in other cities
where these are owned by private
capital, and yet derive enough profit
from them to pay all municipal ex.
penses and do not levy a cent for
municipal purposes. How is that for
economic suicide? Port Arthur, it is
true, began at the beginning. Tam.
pa has lost a million dollars by /ot
beginning at the same point. This
city has given away franchises which
1t will cost a million to recover-and
that cost will grow every day until
the matter Is taken in hand and the
gifts repurchased.
This is all as true as gospel-es-
pecially the passage that touches on
the valuable franchises given away to
corporations by the city of Tampa.
Such instances may, unfortunately
be found on every hand: and we need
go no further afield than Miami to
find that that city has, in the words of
the Miami Metropolis. come to a pass
where her people

Cuban Annexation and :
Free Trade.

The Live Oak Democrat certainly
spoke a parable when it let fall the
following pregnant paragraph from
the business end of its editorial
stylus:
The people who raise sugar and
oranges in this country had better be
oiling up their pickers for vigorous
work. Suppose the Cuban rebellion
ends in the annexation of that island
to the United States and suppose the
annexation is made on free trade
basis. Can our sugar and oranges
compete with the products of that
country with the duty off?
Some of the Jingoes in this state
some of the hot-heads, who, without
pausing to annalyze it, instinctively
admire President Roosevelt's foreign
policy-would do well to let the con-
centrated wisdom contained in the
above quotation percolate slowly
through their systems.
Were Cuba once admitted to the
Union-Or even anneXed-an agon-
lied wall for free trade would newt
ably go up from her planters; and
were the demand granted, our farm
prs and fruitgrowers would soon find
themselves between the devil and the
deep sea.
The best time for a man to do his
thinking is before it is too late. 1t
is not yet too late in this case-but,
from present indications, it soon will
be.

PENSACOLA PHILOSOPHY.
BY Sam B. Russ.

Men may go broke, but their hearts
never break.
To lend money is often to borrow
trouble.
A woman out Of temper, Is general
" a woman out of good looks.
Money talks all right, but it often
talks bad English and worse morals.
The truth hurts-which is perhaps
why some people are so reluctant to
use it.
Life is said to be what We make 1t,
but our ancestors had lot to do
with it, too.
The milk of human kindness is too
often spoiled by the bitter waters Of
adversely.
The people who are always COM
planning are generally those who have
no complaint in particular.

Where Do They Go?

The bald-head row, expectant,
Stared as the curtain rose,
And wondered what the ballet
Would wear in the way of clothes.
They remembered Floradora,
With it's saucy, swell sextet,
And wondered if any of those
Fairies were living yet.
For mortals must often wonder
What becomes of the corps de
ballet,
When it's members grow old and go
Down in the lonely valley.
What becomes of those beauties,
The twinkling stars of the stage,
When the lights grow dim and the
fingers
OF Fate turn the fatal page?
Do they marry and settle down,
Or, like the flowers, fade,
And pass away like the dream
OF a py-go-lucky jade?
Some questions may not be answered,
Anu IlllS Is OUc Vi
But the part of wisdom Is ever
To condone, and not condemn.
AL. H. Wilson. who will soon spring
that thrilling voice and Dutch accent
of his on Pensacola, has got new
story. it goes something like this:
"In a certain church, one Sunday
morning. three children sat in the
front row of the gathering with sailor
hats on their heads.
1.-The sexton before the service COM
menced, tiptoed down the aisle and
whispered loudly and Indignantly:
"'Take them hats off, boys"
The children took no notice, and
very angrily the sexton repeated:
"'Off with them hats, do you hear?"
Still they did not comply. So the
old man came and leaned over them,
glowering in their faces.
"' Why - he began; when in a
shrill little pipe of terror, one Of the
children interrupted him:
please, sir, we are girls" she
said.
And here is another little chip
from the same old block:
After Mr.. Wilson's newly organ
lied band had desisted from practice
for a few nights, the B fiat player
found the valves of his cornet had
stuck. He wrote to the factory, ask
ing what kind of grease to use on the
valves. The house answered him
saying that cornet players used only
saliva on the valves and never used
grease of any kind The B fat player
then wrote: Gentlemen: Please send
me 25 cents worth of saliva. I can't
get it at the store here. IncTosed
find stamps for payment"
