of a strenuous winter at Washington.
But. even if he insists upon his de-

Beard saw IL First"

Now that the state of Georgia, in
its fight with the railroads, has made
up its mind to attack the validity of
the fourteenth amendment to the fed
eral constitution under which the
roads are seeking shelter in their re-
sistance to the state laws reducing tar
IFS, it is well enough to remember
that. Hon John S. Beard, of Pensa-
cola, was the first man in this country
to seriously deny the validity of that
amendment He did this in his speech
in the state senate during the last
session and it is very probable that
Georgia will avail herself of Mr..
Boards elaborate argument in that
case.-Live Oak Democrat

A Good Showing.

The prohibftionists of Birmingham
and Jefferson county go to the pro-
bate judge with $3.50 signatures to
their petition asking that an election
be called to decide whether Jefferson
county should go dry or not. Nearly
5000 voters petitioning is a good
showing and if all those vote as they
sign, there is no doubt that the larg-

be added to the. growing list of dry

One Goldring, prominent liquor
dealer of Pensacola, has entered suit
for $4,000 against The Pensacola
Journal, for alleged damages result
ing from the energetic fight for pro-
hibitiOn waged by this paper during
the past few weeks in that city.
The Journal came out Sunday in a
strong editorial in which it states its
position without mincing words, de-
claring that it will not be bulldozed
by the liquor element nor frightened
into receding from its great stand for
morality.
We heartily commend the esteemed
Pensacola daily for its aggressive pol
icy in the cause of purging its home
city of the filthy saloon evil and feel
sure that it has the support of the
majority of the better element of citi-
zeDship.
AS a champion of civic purity and
morality, The Journafwill be none the
>loser, but on the contrary will gain
a stronger hold on its people for it's
undaunted advocacy of prohibition.

You, revolutionists of all shades

tons. and, finally Gas natural and

strive to replace the existing au-

Though you are all at variance
among yourselves as to what this
new authority should be, yet to
bring about the arrangement pro-
posed by each of your groups, you
stop short at no crimes; murders,

You have no words strong enough
to express your condemnation and
contempt for those fficial persn-
ages who struggle against you; but
it should not be forgotten that all
the cruel acts committed by mem.

their eyes because they, from the
czar to the lowest policeman, hav
