Just in proportion to his drunkenness

The Union has under consider
alton the establishment of a
warehouse in some part of the
parish. preferably the town Of
Lafayette, and for that reason as
many of the citizens of the town
as possible should attend this
meeting. During the past week
Messrs. Onezipe Trahan, of the
seventh ward, and Edmond Mar.
tin, of the third ward, were in
town interviewing the business
men to see what inducements the
town would be willing to offer to
have the warehouse built here.
Those seen all expressed them
selves very favorably towards
the proposition. At the meeting
on May II the pur pose of the
Union will be explained and our
citizens should attend and learn
exactly what is proposed so that
they may be in better position
to take up the matter of securing
the warehouse for this town.

the wells are of the same depth. 1874
feet. The two already brought in
furnish about 100000 gallons each
daily. The water is perfectly clear.
1t has slight mineral taste, possibly
magnesia, but sample left in bot
tie for y hours remained clear. with
no precipitation in the bottom. We be-
lieve the water to be excellent for
drinking. 1t makes a fine lather
with ordinary soap, which shows it to
be soft and good for washing purpos-
es. We feel sure that the town now
has good water for all purposes and
in abundant quantity.
The sinking of the new wells became
necessary on account of the failure OF
the old we'll, and the excellent results
obtained are largely due to Chairman
o. B. Hopkins of the water and light
committee, which committee had
charge of putting down the wells.
Mr.. Hopkins has given great deal
of thought, time and attention to the
matter, at considerable sacrifice to
his own business, and he deserves
both credit and appreciation for the
manner in which he has served the
town.
During the past week Mr.. Hopkins
has been engaged in experimenting
the cleaning of the standpipe and res
ervoir, both of which were given a
thorough washing out, and the flush
ing of the mains to get them well
cleaned aud rid of oil. He expects to
continue the flushing and believes
that within the next ten days the
water supplied to customers will be
clear and free of oil.
The brick partition in the power
house, separating the boiler room
from the dynamo room, has been
completed, and the floors laid in con-
crete. The new dynamos are placed,
but some parts have not yet arrived.
AS soon as they come they will he in

The air compressor for pumping the
water out of the new wells has been
received, the concrete foundation
laid and in few days it will be placed
| in position. At present q small
Westinghouse air pump, kindly
loaned by the Southern Pacific, is be-
ing used, the water is being turned in
to the reservoir and from there
is pumped into the standpipe.
The power house Is being cleared of
all scaffolding and material used in
building the house and setting up ma
chinery, and Chairman Hopkins
hopes to have everything in fine order
in preparation for . visit from the
editors during their stay here.
A concrete side walk and curb is
being laid on the two sides fronting

MR.. SINDORF IN
REPLY TO Mr.. GOLDSTUkER

Pensacola, Sept. 2.
Editor PENSACOLA Journal:
Please allew the use of your
columns for brief reply to Mr.. Gold
stuker in your issue of Aug. 25.
He first tells us that ne heard the
remark that the dry element is COM
posed of adj the decent people. To this
we can only say that We nave heard no
such remark
He says the bible neither advo-
Gates or prohibits intoxicants. To this,
would say that in those old bible
times they knew nothing about such
intoxicants as we have at the present
time. The amount of poisonous drugs
put in liquors should condemn the
whole business.
He says there is no more harm in
drinking liquors than in eating cab
bage. This would be aN right, if he
would say rotten cabbage.
All liquors are made by .. process Of
rotting some article that is used for
food. This process Is known as fer
mentatiOn and one of the wiSest pro-
visions in nature and is for the pur-
pose of getting rid Of things which are
no aonger useful, and but for this it
would probably be impossible for hui
man beings to inhaIdt the earth
Fermentation is simply a separation
of the component parts of the article,
so that they can be utilized in the for
nation of other articles. The com
ponert parts are liberated and escape
into the atmosphere. Some of these
component parts absorb other ingre-
dients from the atmosphere and form
alcohol, which is the principle thing
IN al Intoxicating liquors, and without
WHICH they could not be sold TO the
patrons OF the saloons. This arcohol
is not fit to be taken into the human
system. 1t is in1iammable and COM
bustRble. Some Qf it is deadly poison,
while some of it completely paTalyzes
the brain and makes a man more help
less than an irfans, and more beastiy
than the lowest hog that wallows in
the gutter
1t IS a producer Of light and heat
and is expected in the near future 70

STRONG APPEAL

Pensacola, Sept. g
Editor Pensacola Journal:
Kindly allow NE space in your
paper for few words in reply to the
thought advanced by Alderman Brown
with regard to his regulation ordi.
nance.
Mr. Brown, can you not clearly see
that to allow liquor to be sold under
the restrictions you refer to will do
no good toward saving our boys and
girls from being ensnared by the ac-
cursed stun? Get the temptation out
or the way. This is the only safe
guard. Why compromise w.,h ne
dreaded evil? Why not do all in your
power to save those who are too weak
TO take care Of themselves Right
here We certainly are our brothers
keeper.
If all the voters OF Escan.bia county
would do what deep Gown in their
consciousness they know to be right
there would not be one vote cast IN
favor of continuing to allow this dead
~ poison to be sold in our midst. No
parent wants to see their children

Mr.. "Tropuc" and Others.


The Journal is in receipt of another
letter from n. E. Tropuc" in reply TO
the last printed from the pen of Mr..
SfndOrf.
r. E. Tropuc" is none-de-
plume" and, as explained a few days
ago, we withhold publication of the
letter, just as We are holding up sew
eral other communications on political
questions for the same reason.
The voX populi column is open at all
times to discussions by advocates and
opponents of prohibition and all other
public questions. 1t is the column in
which the Journl, in its idea of fair
play, allows the public 70 discuss pub
lie questioss, irrespective of whether
the views expressed coincide with
ours in part, in toto or not at all.
The Journals regards such col
umn as officially a duty it owes its
readers, provided only that the ex-
preston of the views set forth be
within parliamentary usage and prop
erly signed.
The existence of such column often
leads a newspaper to be charged with
the advocacy of the views of those to
whom the courtesy of the column is
accorded. We are not responsible
for the views expressed by individuals
in the Vox Populi column any more
than are the managers Of Joint
debate responsible for or bound by
the views of both parties to such a
debate. The public, however, is en-
titled to know the names of speakers
in a joint debate. and similarly, in
any discussion Tor virtually joint de-
BATE through the columns of ''Vox
Populi"
Therefore, in extending the use of
the column to both sides of all public
questions as a matter of fair play,
we reserve the right to decline to
print letters from any one who is not
willing to admit his responsibility by
writing over his name.
Similarly. We refuse publication to
any matter of a personal nature if
not signed with the name of the writer
for publication, and if libelous, Ne Of
course would not print it at all.
If Mr.. Tropuc' is willing to per-
nit the use of his name, We will be
glad enough to use his letters. He
must, however, sign his name, or
else his letters are waste of time
and intent, SO far as ''Vox Populi" is
concerned.
Similarly, this note applies to all
authors of letters dealing with public
questions, political issues and person
aiftles of any sort, even though they
be parliamentary

ON JOHN S. BEARD
3 . >>%>>><%>>>%<

Hon. John Beard, candidate for
United States senator, was in Ocala
Friday, taking a birds eye view of
the senatorial situation in this sec.
ton of FlSrifa.
Mr. Beard says that he is really
flattered at the reception he has every
where been receiving, and is meeting
with encouragement far beyond his
most sanguine expectations.
He is most distinguished looking and
has all the appearance of men who
have left their impress upon public
affairs, and in any company would be
selected as a man of no ordinary
mould.
Mn Beard made a most exhaustive
study OF the manner of the adoption
of the fifteenth amendment to the fed
eral constitution, and has reached the
conclusion that 1t was never legally
adopted and is confident that if it is
ever brought before the supreme court
of the United States, this great court
of last resort will fully sustain his con-
tentiOn and that the time is now ripe
for it to go before this court for jul
dicial determination.
Mr.. Beard has collected all the facts
connected with the so-called adoption
of the amendment and has reared a
most formidable structure, and the
facts stand out so clear as to it's IT.
regular adoption that he does not for
a moment hesitate to say that the
court with the truth of history recited
will declare it invalid, and in doing so
will be sustained by the enlightened
sentiment OF the country.
Mr. Beard is yet a young man, is
full of zeal, energy and ambition, and
II elected will make a name that will
rank alongside of Yulee,s before the
civil war period. and C. w. Jones's Of
a later date
With his splendid presence and the
subject matter of his speech we'll in
hand and delivered in his forcefuI and
impressive manner, he will win many
voters among the mixed audiences that
attend political gathering.
