There are many things which help
to create a tendency to have poll
ticians, that is those holding office,
and officers TO seek laudation for
simply performing their sworn ana
honest duty. ] have known deputy
sheriffs, detectives and policemen TO
complain because they did not re-
ceive a financial reward for captur-
ing some criminal. who had violated
the law, which they took an oath to
observe and enforce. Such conduct
is disgusting, and at the same time
shows to what an extent the curse
of the reward for the arrest of Grim
inals has grown.
To be candid, honest and sincere,
will state that am no hero
worshipper. l believe that every man
who does his duty as an officer or
official will receive his just rewarI
at the hands of the people. believe
that the reward habit is a curse to
civilization, as it creates a tendency
for some officers not to seek a Grim.
inal unless there is a financial gain
to be derived. This is plain and
strong language and none realizes, 1t
better than myself
An Experience
Condemnation might be heape6
upon my head for such utterances but
experience with detectives, deputy
sheriffs and policemen has proved to
to me that, in many instances. the
officers are too busy" to look for
some dangerous criminal for whom
there is no reward, when something
financially might be gained by the ar

q lesser and minor crime. have
known policemen in a certain city,
many miles from Pensacola, to know
ingly let a wanted criminal pass them
without arresting him, believing by
waiting a few days a reward might
be secured. In nine cases out OF ten
when the time for arrest came the
bird had flown.

stood that 1 believe that all officers
are looking for rewards, but l believe
four-ffths of them are. 1t is nothing

Commission Says 95 Per Cent
of Charges are Untrue.

The Washington correspondent OF
the Chicago Tribune, John Callan
OTLaughlin, says that the commits
sioners sent by the president to in
vestigate the conditions in Chicago
packing houses as described by Upton
Sinclair in his book, The Jungle, {"
have reported that 50 per cent OF Mr..
Sinclair's charges are without fouuda-
ton.
OF the remaining five per cent, the
commission reports that the packers
themselves are already putting into
effect changes that will correct the
conditions which are described.
The Journal sincerely trusts that
the commissions report will be
found correct, though we confess 20
a certain reluctance in accepting as
altogether true the IS per cent denial
Of the charges which Mr.. Sinclair
made in his book and afterwards re-
pested in Everybody's Magazine.
We cannot believe that conditions
are altogether as bad as Mr. Sinclair
described them. but neither can we
believe that he would make, or that
Evsrybody's Magazine would publish,
charges Of which IS per cent were
untrue.
There have undoubtedly been ex-
travagant expressions on both sides
of the subject and if the whole dis
cussion results in some system by
which the meat consumers Of the
country shall be enabled to know
that they are getting healthy meats,
the agitation viii not have been in
vain and the people at large will be
gamers thereby.

The News Bureau" Has
Another Defender.

The Florida News Bureau" has

The Pensacola journal, for some
mysterious and unexplained purpose

those unfortunate victims OF the
drainage infamy" through whose in
Etrumentality the bureau is enabled

It's campaign Of warning against the
impending peril of the proposed
drainage amendment to the COustitu
ton. The bureau, while no doubt
having no particular objection To Civ.
ing The Journal the names, protested
that 20 attempt TO do so would be
"uanifestly unreasonable" Besides
this. the manner of The Journal in
making its demands was distinctly. II
not Intentionally, offensive. and no
one can well blame the bureau for
not complying with such demands.
We are not advised concerning TIE
intentions Of the News Bureau, but
we feel sure that it viii be entirely

answers satisfactorily the numerous
demands which have been recently
made upon him for definite informa-

pardons for wounding the sensibiIi-

in order.

general opinion that the votes cast for
each Of the candidates in Baker coun-
ty should have been counted and the
result certified to the state committee,
but as the county committee had re-
fused to do this, the only fair thing to
do was for the candidates to run over.
There was considerable talk of manda-
