SECOND WARD CLUB
Mel Last Night al Residence oi
 John Moran.

At meeting of the Second Ward Improvement society last night, held at the residence, of John Moran on upper Cooke street, a committee was appointed to look after the appropria- tion recommended by the board of public works for the layout of Cooke street. During the past few weeks rumors have reached the ears of the different town improvement clubs that henceforth they will get nothing from the city government except what they pay full price for the same as those on the inside have always had to do. This has stirred up quite a hornets nest and almost every able bodied man in the outside and second out side districts is up in arms over it. They are organized and intend to swoop down upon the fellows on the inside and force them to make such improvements as demand attention in all parts of Waterbury regardless of the taxation question. They rep resent that sections considerably fur, tAiNi ouI liiuu NOUhG ollSCI udNC pSSh turned into flower gardens with money raised in the inside district and nobody objected, simply because the property is owned by privileged few, but just as soon as move was made in some other direction then the cry of inequality of taxation was raised and it has been kept up ever since. But because the city fathers neglected to do the right thing when these matters first came up is no req son why they should go on shining in- definitely and probably this is the req son why it has been proposed to call halt at this time and begin all over anew on the good old plan of for getting the misdeeds of the past and everybody paying on an equitable basis. In other wards they have hoisted the motto: Equal taxation or no improvements" and some of them declare that they are going to stick to it. With this and flag marked ''The same price to all water consum- CTS or no service at all," the inside and the outside districts would have issues worth talking about, but it would take a long time to get some people interested in the contest.

Should Provide for
Committee Investigation.

The question of kind, character, and
cost Of street paving is something that
Pensacola is vitality interested in
just now, and while that question is
being investigated to certain extent,
The Journal feels that some more
could now be emplo yed to a better
purpose.
Pensacola has had very little ex-
perience Of her own in the matter of
street paving and she must, therefore,
look to the example and experience OF
other cities for whatever information
is TO be had on this very important
subject. And after all, the experience
Of others is usually the most valuable,
as wen as inexpensive, experience
which either an individual OF a COM
muuity can have.
The Journal suggests therefore that
the council make an appropriation for
the purpose of sending a committee
of to visit some of the other south
ern cities and to investigate person
ally the work which has been done
there. From $500 to $1,000 should be
sufficient and it would be money we'll
spent.
The committee should consist of not
less than three members Of the coun-
ell, two members of the board of bond
trustees, and two members of the board
of works. This committee could visit
Mobile, Montgomery, Birmingham, At
lanta, Columbus. Ga, Jacksonville,
and any other cities within easy reach
whose experiences would be likely to
help Pensacola in deciding the ques-
ton at issue
When Pensacola's bond issue of
$4,000 is expended on street paving,
with twice as much more from the
property owners, making a total of
$45o,oo0, the people should have some
thing for their money that will not
only be worth the price but that will
be the best that this amount of
money can secure. The city can
therefore very well afford to spend a
few hundred dollars at this time in
an investigation of the subject, and
thorough Investigation at that
The council should have no hest
fancy in making the appropriation and
should lose no time in getting the
committee off.

Unfair Comparisons
of High Officials,

There are some editors in Florida
who take a special delight in abus-
ing the present governor and his pre-
decessor for their official acts. and to
this we have no special objection. To
crltlcise the public acts of a pubIic
man is every citizens privilege. but
when these editors try to belittle
them by lauding to the skies the vir-
tues of other politicians in other DAYS.
we think they are carrying the matter
a little too far. Some of these editors
take a special delight in comparing
Broward and Jennings TO the chief
executives of past days, in an effort
to show that these later men are I'M
worthy the confidence of the people.
and in other ways sadly deficient in
the qualities that go to make a states
man
We do not think these comparisons
are fair, and if the persons making
them would stop to think of the events

of the period when these other men
were at the helm Of state we believe
they would readily see that at that
time their idols were subject to as
fierce a criticism and as zach abuse
as the men who are in the limelight
today.
A few weeks ago the Bronson
Times-Democrat called attention to
this matter. 1t challenged the state
ment that Broward was a more abus-
ed man than Bloxham and attempted
to show where Bloxham, when he was
first governor, came in for his share
of this criticism, and charge Of graft
and abuse of power. A few days after
this the Leesburg Commercial. in
commenting on the suggestion that
Bloxham enter the race for a third
term as governor, took occasion to pay
him a well deserved tribute, but made
no mention of the Bronson mans lit
tie notice. The Lake City Index in
noting the tribute IN the Leesburg
Commercial, refers to the article in
the Bronson paper as a slur on Blox-
ham, and now the editor Of the Bron-
son Times-Democrat comes back at
Editor ApPleyard in the following
manner:
We are sorry that we did not see
the tribute OF the Commercial, but
Wnat ails the Index, anyhow? Elk
Governor Bloxham is one Of the best
and purest men in Florida, and we
esteem him very highly, but he Is no
better than other governors who have
preceded or followed him. Brother
Appleyard is old enough to know that
Governor Bloxham was as bitterly
censured for some of his public acts
as ever a governor was. Facts are
stubborn things, and only hero wor-
shippers and trucking sycophants pre-
tend not to see them.
The above expresses the situation
exactly There are doubtless few men
in Florida today who are more below
ed than Ex-Governor Bloxham, and yet
he was as much abused by the press
and the people for his connection with
the Disston land sale as Jennings or
Broward have been for any of their
official acts during their terms of Of
fee.
There has been an attempt made to
compare these men also with ex-Gov-
ernor Fleming, but the same reason
ing holds here as in the case of Blox-
ham, Bloxham made an excellent
governor but he did not escape the
criticism and abuse that comes to all
chief executives who attempt to dis
charge their duties. Some of these
men, who today would tear down the
names of Broward and Jennings, were
abusing Fleming twelve years ago,
and the chances are that twelve years
from now they viii be abusing some
other governor, and lauding the vir-
lures of BrOward
In the words of the Times-Democrat
Facts are stubborn things" and these
men might as well understand now
that there are some people who do
not forget political history as easily
as they would have us believe they
do, and these people will know as TO
the truth of the statements they are
making of these ex-governors, when
trying to tear down the record of the
present governor by these compari-
sons.

a definite way. OF course il is no
more his business to publish these
items than that of any other person,
but he is on the ground and has ex-
pressed a desire to know how this
money is being spent, and we thought
that he would be a better person to
get up the data than any newspaper
man We know.
We suggest to the editor of the
True Democrat that he make re-
quest on the board for this informa-
ton, and if they refuse to let him
have it he can then tell us why 1t is
not forthcoming, but we feel sure
that the board would not refuse 20
give the information without giving
a valid reason therefor, and when this
reason is published the people can be
the judges whether the boa DIS reason
is sufficient or not.
The reference to a resolution of the
board, made by the True Democrat, is
very indefinite, and the editor of the
True Democrat himself does not seem
to know what the resolution is. Now
the best way to get light on this ques-
ton is for him to go down to the
executive Office, or wherever the head
quarters of this board are, and ask to
see a copy of it. If the Internal I'M
prcvement Board of Florida has de-
cided, by resolution, or motion, or in
any other way, to prohibit an inspec-
ton of its records, it is high time the
people of Florida were knowing it.
We can not believe but that the
board will allow an inspection of all
its records, and we believe that if
Editor Collins makes the proper de-
mand for these records he will be
given them. He is a taxpayer of the
state and as such is entitled to all
the privileges of every other citizen,
and one of these privileges is the &C.
cess to all the public records of the
state. 1t can not de doubted for an
instant that the records of the board
CT Internal improvements are public
records, and we believe that there
are many people in Florida who would
be glad to know where the money in
this fund has gone, and for what pun.
poses, during the past few years.
1t IS true the legislature has the
power to investigate this board, but
1t should not require a legislative in
vest1gation to compel it to allow the
inspection of its records, which are
necessarily public records. 1t will be
remembered that at the last session
of the legislature a bill was passed
aboljshing the Office of secretary and
treasurer OF this board, and providing
for the inspection of its records, but
this bill was vetoed by Governor
Broward
