Three Cent Fare.

Three Cent Fare.
We thing it very doubtful if Mr..
Richbourg's three cent a mile fare
bill will pass, and we are also some
what doubtful If 1t should We are
doubtful if it is a reasonable rate on
some of the shorter and newer roads
in the state. Not that we do not be-
lieve that a three cent rate should
be in force on this division OF the L.
q y. We do. 1t is asserted that with
a three cent rate the increased travel
would more than make up for the de-
crease in rates. We believe that this
would be the case, but we do not
know it. We do know, however, that
the fact of the four cent rate on this
division is one of the hardest things
to overcome in the attempt to secure
immigration that those interested
have to contend with. When a man
who is accustomed to riding for three
or two and half, or even two cents
per mile, comes to west Florida and
is met with a four cent rate, all the
preaching this side of New York
would not convince him that freight
rates were not high in proportion. For
this reason, we are convinced that
a three cent fare would in short
time pay the railroad better than the
present one, besides the advantage TO
the people.-DeFuniak Breeze.

Mr.. Bryan's Commoner contains the
following on Lincoln's democratic
mayor: Mayor Francis w. Brown, who
for two years past has held the office
of chief executive of Lincoln, has been
reelected. Mr.. Brown is a democrat
and while Nebraska's capital city is
republican on a partisan vote, the
democrats of the city are feeling quite
jubilant over Mayor Browns re-elec-
ton While Mr. Browns victory is
largely a personal one, stI1l the vote
shows very material gain in demo-
cratic strength. II need scarcely be
added that Mr.. Bryan is enjoying the
election returns. Mayor Brown was
one OF the leaders of the movement
which took a Nebraska delegation to
New York to meet Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan
on their return from abroad, and as
the readers of The Commoner will re-
member, the mayor presided at the
Lincoln reception. The Commoner
proposes the health of Mayor Brown.

The new Jacksonville charter bill is
srousjng a great deal of opposition
from a certain element of people over
there. The bill, as We understand it,
provides for the popular election of
certain boards and an enlarged re-
sponsibility for the people themselves
in dealing with the affairs of the gov
eminent under which they live. The
opposition might as well subside. A
certain element over here did not
think the people capable of electing
all of their public servants direct, but
the people got that privilege never
theless and the result has been emf
nently satisfactory. A republic is a
poor place in which to make an argu-
ment against the people ruling direct.

Editor Lewey Wishes
To Save Negro Children.

In the last issue OF the Florida Sen
tinel, Pensacola's negro newspaper,
Editor Lewey gives some whole
some advice to the ministers and
other influential members of the col
ored race in the city and especially
appeals to parents and guardians to
be more watchful over the children
with a view TO checking their indis-
criminate association with the tough
element in dance halls and other pub
lie places patronized so freely by the
negroes
The Sentinel very appropriately re-
marks:
THE idea of permitting children IN
der twelve years of age to go to balls
and public dance houses and mingle
and dance with the INSCRIPTIONS and
toughest characters of the race, is not
only public outrage, but an open
shame on the parents who permit it
and an irretrievable blow to the race
in its efforts to make good a better
civilization
The language used in the above ex-
cerpt from quite a long editorial in
the Sentinel, is none too strong in
denunciation of an evil that should be
remedied. as it tends by bad examples
set before the colored youth to COLI
tinually recruit the ranks of the disso-
lutte and disorderly element.
The Sentinel calls upon the min
listers of all the churches to use their
best efforts to arouse a sentiment
against the evil complained of, and is
entitled to the hearty support of all.
