PENSACOLA. FLORIDA SATURDAY MORNING AUGUST 81

monary tuberculosis has decreased 10
per cent. In 1900 there were 81 deaths
from consumption out Of every 10000
population, and in 1905 the proportion
of deaths from that disease fell to IS
in every 10000. This at first thought
may not seem much of an improve
ment, but the same proportion of de-
crease in the United States would
mean the saving of about 10000 lives
in a year. Besides, the encouraging
feature is that if a decrease of 10 per
cent. i'll the mortality from consump-
ton can be attained in five years by
the adoption of proper safeguards,
with the concurrent education of the
people in regard to the best means of
preventing contagion, the cumulative
effect of precautionary measures may
be expected to be a steadily decreas-
ing mortality from tuberculosis.

ADJUSTMENTS
"UNpER SOUTHERN SKIES"
OPENS REGULAR SEASON.

Somewhat earlier than usual, the Pen
sacola theatrical season was formally
opened last night. with Under Southern
Skies a beautiful four-act drama writ
ten by Lpttie Blair Parker, who. is, by
the way, the author of Way Down East. y
That last nights play pleased the me-
dunn sized audience. there is no doubt.
but the rendition of the play-very natur-
aIlv. too-did not come up to the stand
ard set for it two years ago when played
here by a much better company sun
the piece itself is pretty enough to travel
on it's merits, and does not necessarily
call for strong acting.
The scenery adopted for this seasons
tour is very beautiful and effective, and
gives the play that real Southern atmos-
phere that is intended for it. There is
much. however, in the language and the
custom introduced in the piece which are
not entirely appropriate to the South. but
all of that is easily forgotten when the
beautiful plot is UnfOlded-

VOX POPULI.

EQUALLY SINCERE,
Pensacola, Fla, Aug. 80, 1907.

Pensacola, Fla, Aug. 80, 1907.
Editor Pensacola Journal:
Whatever ones views may be on any
question, he should be credited with
sincerity, unless proo1 of his insincer-
ity can be furnished.
If the lady who spoke last night on
Seville square, in the interest of pro-
hrbition, is correctly quoted in your
paper of this morning, her utterances,
to say the least of it, did not breathe
the spirit of Christian charity that one
would expect from one of those who
claim to be the followers of Jesus
Christ.
Many of those who are opposed to
prohibition in this city will compare
very favOrably with any of those who
are In favor of it. There are some
very excellent people who are advo-
eating prohibition; on the other hand.
1T is well for the advocates of this
cause to understand that all the re-
spectability, decency and morality are
not arrayed on their side.
Without entering into a. discussion
as to whether or not prohibition de-
creases drunkenness. those who are
opposed to it are quite as intellectual
and quite as capable, after analyzine
the subject, of forming correct
opinion as those who favor it.

Wood Sidewalks
Are Now Prohibited.

When Mayor Goodman signed the
ordinance prohibiting the further build
ing of wood sidewalks in Pensacola,
the act marked dong stride in adj
vance for the Deep Water City. Sec
tons 1 and 2 of this ordinance read
as follows:
Section l. That all sidewalks
which shall be built or rebuilt here
after in the city of Pensacola shall
be of brick, stone, artificial stone,
asphalt. cement or some product
thereof
Section 9 That in building side
walks a space CT one foot shall be
left between the lot street line and
the work constructed of brick, stone,
artificial stone, asphalt, cement Or
product thereof, which space shall be
brought to and kept to the sidewalk
grade; provided that this section
shall not apply to sidewalks in the
territory bounded as follows: On the
north by the north line of Belmont
street. on the south by the south line
of Hickory street, on the east by the
east line of TarragOna street and on
the west by the west line of Bay1en
street.
1t will be seen that section i pro-
hibits the building of any more wood
walks and that section = provides for
the width of the walks outside of the
downtown district, where wider walk
is required.
The Chief point in the ordinance,
however, lies in the fact that all new
walks which are hereafter constructed
will have to. be of the materials
named, and wood is not one of those
materials. Where wood walks already
exist they will be permitted to remain
until in need of repair and they must
then be replaced by something else.
The next step in sidewalk progress
will he the adoption of plan by which
the city may build the sidewalks and
assess the cost against the property
owners and distribute the payment of
same over a period of years.

It is not very encouraging news
that is handed out to the public by
the Geological Survey this week
The Survey announces that the
anthracite coal supply of the
country is only good for Is years
more. OF course this will not
affect the most of us very much as
at the end Of that time we will be
either where we won't need coal OF
where we will have more than we
want. But the prospect is not
cheering for future generations.
The calculation has been made on
the basis of the known coal supply
of the country the present annual
consumption and the norma!
growth of the population. It is
further stated that there is no
prospect of anthracite ever being
any cheaper than it is at present,
a piece of gratuitous information
on which the Coal Trust had the
Geological Survey beat several
years ago. But hope is held gut
in the fact that there is enough
soft coal to last for several gen
erations more, and this ought to
be good news for the south as
much Of it is in that region and
still undeveloped.
