PENSACOLA MERCHANTS
READY FOR HOLIDAY TRADE

which throng the street continue to
get larger month after month and
year after year, until the appearance
of Palafox street now and what it was
a year or two ago is almost startling
in its metropolitan proportions when
the comparison is made
Pensacola merchants have made
special preparations this year to take
care of the holiday trade not only Of
Pensacola but of the whole of West
Florida and they are offering now
just as large and carefully selected
stocks and just as great bargains as
can be found in the larger cities. Pen
sacola merchants, in fact, intend that
Pensacola shall be to West Florida
just what the metropolis of any Sec
| ton is to that section.
Readers of The Journal-and prac-
tically every West Floridian whose
trade is worth having is a reader of
this paper-will find in these columns
from now till Christmas practically
complete catalogue or the merchants
who are after Christmas trade and
whose stocks are worth advertising.
The Journal commends those mer-
chants to it's readers and offers this
word of advice-buy early and before
the crowd comes and the stocks are
all picked over You will be the
gamer by it and the merchants and
their busy clerks will appreciate your
thoughtfulness at time when all OF
them are worked down with the great
press of holiday trade.

First Birthday Party.
Little Carolyn Whiting

One of the cutest birthday parties
imaginable was the one given Friday
afternoon. by Mrs. Clara Whiting in
honor of the first birthday of her
pretty baby grand daughter. Carolyn.
The home of Mrs. Whiting on North
Spring street was prettily decorated
with red charlottesville color which
always exeites the admiration OF ba-
bies-intcrsperced with green vines
and ferns.
A handsome round oak table stood
! in the center of the sitting room,
, which was covered with a Batteuburg
centerpiece over red satin. Red can
dies and great bunch of red carna-
tons helped to complete the decora-
! tons.
Two big birthday cakes were in evil
| dence, one bearing only one light,
[ while the other was lighted up much
/ more generously, as the birthday cake
was in honor of Carolyn's father, Mr..
Z II. II. Whiting, whose birthday was
! on the following day.
= Eight high chairs stood around the
board, and eight happy babies occu-
pied them. But alas for the TeStric-
tons of babyhoOd-the fruit punch
consisted of punch cups filled with
strained oat meal and the rich cake
had to be dealt out rather sparingly.
But the souvenirs compensated for
everything. They were beautiful rat
ties which made great deal of noise
The ones for the girls were little yell
low oranges with some mysterious
thing inside which ratified, and the
boys .rattles were sleigh bells. Strange
to say these souvenirs were used for
the purpose intended and not once did
one little guest test the weight of his
rattle on another little guests head
At the head of the table sat Miss
Carolyn in white, dainty as a tiny
rosebud Opposite her at the foot OF
the table was seated her handsome lit
tie cousin, Richard Miles Cary, Jr
The other high chairs contained

Making Paint with skim Milk.

WIN
Stir into gallon of milk about three
pounds of Portland cement and add
sufficient Venetian red paint powder to
impart good color. Any other colored
paint powder may as well be used. The

PROTECTION

If it were not for the fact that our
individual interests are inseparable
from those of our fellows. we would
be tempted to laugh in dersion at
the ignorance Of the writer's of the
platform adopted by the late republi-
can convention in this city. But, UNI
der popular form of government, we
are all alike, beneficiaries of good
laws or victims of bad laws as the
case may be. Therefore we are under
bonds for the enlightenment of our
fellows under the penalty of suffering
with them the ills that their ignor-
ance may bring upon us in common
with themselves.
The platform adopted by the repub-
lican state convention last week con-
tains the following plank.
eve declare our unalterable alleg-
lance to the principle of protection
under the benefcent operation of
which our country has grown both
rich and great. While yielding moth
ing from our adherence to this prin-
ciple, we believe that changes in
schedules should follow changes in
conditions. The history ct the repub-

dubbed into so doing by democratic

that may mean much that is absurd,
but even that blindnes has chances

party has offered before in many
years.

THE LINE OF BATTLE

The state conventions of all of the
parties have been held and their re-
spective platforms and candidates are
before the people for judgment And
while the republican party has in
platform and candidates moved a little
nearer to the people than ever before,
yet it fell far short of meeting the
demands of the voters, and deserves
defeat On the other hand while the
democratic party failed to name for
governor the preferred candidate of
The Independent, the ticket named is
good one and a strong one, and de-
serves the support of the taxpayers
and wealth producers of the state.
Mr. A. c. Shallenberger, the fusion
candidate for governor needs no in
PRODUCTION to the people of Nebraska.
He is we'll and favorably known to
all. He served one term in the Uni
ted States congress and reflected
credit upon his district and the state.
He is at the present time the mayor
of the city of Alma, where he enjoys
the respect and confidence of all, ire
spective Of party. He is an able cam
paigner and will make the "welkin
ring from now nutil election day.
The candidate for lieutenant COVER
nor, Mr.. W. H. Greene, of Creighton,
is one of the coming men in our state.
He is man of education, refinement
and clearly defined convictions on all

politics, drew his campaign funds.
Hanna did not discriminate between
the tariff sheltered monopoly, the life

tortionists. Every member of the
confederation was, under his code
alike entitled to protection And, &C
cording to the Hannaite philosophy
protection in the enjoyment of the
privilege Of plundering the American
people necessitated the control of gov
eminent and was cheap at any price
/ Therefore, stand pat and bet your
money by millions, was his way OF
playing the game of politics.

| Introduction to the voters of Nebras-
| ka Mr. Canaday was on the state
ticket two years ago, and is president
of the Farmers Elevator Association
of the state. Mr.. Wolfe served a term
in the office he is named for under
a former fusion administration and
was a faithful and efficient public
official. One thing we do know, how
ever, is that all the other candidates
named are youched for by the mem
bers of the convention that nominal
ed them and that unless they met
every requirement Of the positions
they were named for they could not
have been nominated, because the
makeup of the convention, by an over
whelming majority, was of the best
material to be found in the state.
The republican convention contained
a majority of those who term them
selves progresives or anti-corporation
republicans. And while it must be ad-
mitted that they were an Improvement
over former gatherings of the party
it would be too much to expect a
change more radical than was pre-
scented IN so short a time The ticket
nominated is a mixture of good and
bad that fails to do credit to the pro-
LESSONS of reform Of those who con
trolled the convention. The reform
republicans who controlled the state
convention, can not defend a majority
of the nominees who, if elected, will
constitute the state board of equali-
zaton and assessment, any more than
the progressives who controlled the
Lancaster county republican conyen-
ton can defend its nominees for the
legislature The Searles and Eatons en-
the state ticket and the Burnes and
McKessons on the Legislative tickets
communicate to the whole outfit a
sort of ancient and fshy odor.
The platforms of both parties run
along similar lines, the democratic be-
ing the more aggressive and specific.
Neither of them bear much resemb-
lance to the platforms of either party
in the olden times, both being dis
tinctiyely populistic in all leading
features. Platforms however much
they may indicate the growth of opin-
ion do not guarantee their own fulfil
