Salaries of Police
And Fire Departments.

The recommendation OF the BOARD
of public safety for an increase III
the salaries of the marshal, fire chief,
and the members of the police and
fire departments, is good one as far
as it goes.
Pensacola is no longer village, and
its police and f1remen can no longer
live on the salaries which were per-
haps adequate ten years ago.
And if the marshal and the fire
chief are worth anything at all,
they are worth at least as much as
the board recommends, viz: $3.50 per
month for the marshal and 500 per
month for the fire chief.
AS a matter of fact, however, each
of the officials, the marshal particu-
larIy, is entitled to more money. The
marshal should not receive less than
$3.50 per month with horse furnished
by the city for his use.
We trust the council will give this
salary question the attention it de
serves

Abuse Dose Not
Answer the Question.

The Journal very much regrets to
see that the AUTHORIZATION publicity
department is resorting to abuse,
inuendo, and misrepresentation, with
a very evident disposition to play the
baby act as well as to dodge the real
question at issue.
Although their campaign stuff is
prepared by an able writer, it is very
noticeable that his name does not
appear anywhere in connection with
1t, and it is equally as noticeable that
in his whole labyrinth of words no
attempt is made to justify the liquor
business or to explain away its damn
ing effects on those who become it's
victims.
can be produced, either from a moral
or a business standpoint, in favor Ct
the retention of business that drives
more men to hell and that annually
takes more money out of the commun-
ity than all of the other evils with
which Escambia county has TO con-
tend.
The one and the only question at
issue is whether Pensacola would, or
would not, be better off without the
liquor business Thus far the affirma-
tive side of the question seems to have
been unanswered.

Advancing Federal Funds.

Secretary Cortelyou's announcement
that he will relieve the money market
by means of series of weekly depos-
its of public funds in national banks
should serve to steady the situation
and render less likely demoralizing
stringency when the annual westward
movement of cash occurs. 1t is espe-
cially reassuring for the secretary to
declare the policy of the government
in this respect at this time. when
there is genuine anxiety regarding
the ability Of the banks to meet the
demands upon them in crop moving
time.
1t has been estimated that it would
be necessary for the government to
advance as much as $45,0O0.0e0 be-
tween now and the end of September
in order to prevent trouble. Thus far
no announcement has been made re-
garding the amount of the deposits
to be made by Mr. CortelyOu. but it is
to be assumed that. having full knowl-
edge of the state of the currency. he
intends to keep pace with the pros

The Pride Of the State.

The Pensacola Journal says that
"eighty-five thousand dollars on pub
lie parks would make Pensacola the
garden spot of the world" Welk
hardly that, for the world is large
and its garden spots are numerous;
but in all seriousness. no city in
America could be made more beauti-
full than Pensacola with proper effort.
1t has unsurpassed and peculiar natur-
al advantages of both land and water
to that end, and The Journal has en-
tered upon 3 noble and entirely prac-
ticable mission (if the public spirit is
there) in seeking to make its city so
beautiful that it will be the pride of
the state, and even Tampa will con-

Warm Words Of Approval.
Over in Pensacola where the liquor
traffic has fiourished without let or
hindrance since the founding of that
city, prohibition contest is in pro-
gress and band of resolute men and
women, prompted purely by a sense
of duty, are trying to vote the
saloons out of both city and county.
The Pensacola Journal is the leading
paper of West Florida, and in such
community the patronage Of the
paper, drawn from all classes, de-
ponds in no inconsiderable measure
directly and indirectly upon the
liquor traffic and it's allied and SYM
pathetic interests. At the peril of
this patronage sand from motives OBJ
viously dictated by the highest sense
of civic duty, the Journal has declared
for prohibition in a calm, firm, rational
way in which there is no trace Of
fanaticism, but with a steadfast cour-
age not to be inundated or diverted
from its purpose by any pressure,
either moral or physical. In Sundays
Journal, Editor Mayes, over his own
signature and at considerable length,
tells why prohibition will not kill the
town, and we reproduce his conclud-
ing words to show the clear grit of
the man In the face of formidable
situation whose difficulties he has
fully measured and whose dangers
and losses to himself he is willing to
meet at the bidding of his conscience.
Good triumphs over evil in this
world through just such strong indi-
vidual forces, around which weak
men, incapable of initiative, may rally
and take heart, and when we find that
courage all combined, without alloy of
swagger or pretence, it is like finding
gold nugget in the gravel, for real
men are scarce.-Live Oak Democrat

me Newspaper Business -.
The wise Pensacola Journal re-
marks that probably more people
have had their fingers burned by fool
ing with the newspaper business than
in any other character of enterprise
The main trouble is that men engage
in the newspaper business who are
utterly impossible as newspaper men,
but they refuse to recognize this
patent fact until their fingers COM
mence to Sizzle, as aforesaid. The
newspaper business is technical pro-
fessiOn, and it requires special train
ing, as much as does that of the
physician, the chemist or the archi-
tect. The ''butt-in" realizes this af-
ter he tries it a whirl, but in the
meantime he has injured himself, and
often TO some extent his incompe-
tency reflects discredit on the profes-
sion as a whole.-Lakeland News.

Thanks TO Mr.. Porter
We congratulate the editor of the
Pensacola Journal upon the plain and
simple manner in which he replied to
Mr.. G. u Porter's article of Tuesday,
simply wiping his argument against
prohibition off the face of the earth.
Mr.. Porter's article bears evidence of
his ability and culture and his argu-
ment Is doubtless about as
could be made in favor Of the liquor
traffic, but as the editor shows in the
discussion it utterly fails. We feel
like thanking Mr. Porter, on behalf
of the prohibition people of Pensacola
and Escambia county. for his contri-
button, as We feel that just a few
more letters ike this will greatly
benefit the cause OF prohibition. We
would say to the editor: Throw out
