MOORS DECIDE

BY Associated Rrass.

Paris, Sept. 23.-Peace has been de-

three important tribes, who have ac-
copied French peace terms, including
unconditional surrender of all arms
and ammunition, and they will see
that the terms of the agreement are
carried out. HostiIities are now at an
end.
This news followed an early cable
from General Drude at Casa Blanca
that the Moors had offered renewed
overtures for peace, but the French
government at the time announced
that 1t was improbable, after previous
experiences with the hostile satives,
that hostiIities would be suspended

The police. yesterday took into Gus

The hallucination of Stenhouse, who,
it is believed. has been engaged in

days of HRS residence in Pensacola he
has attracted attention by his pecu-
liar actions and yesterday the police

PEOPLE RESENT
THE GOLDPING SUIT
NO ATTEMPT TO THROTTLE THE
PRESS WILL GO WITH ESCAM-
BIA COUNTY VOTERS-SUlT
PROVES A DISASTROUS BOOM
FRANC.

The Goldring damage suit against
The Journal is proving a boomerang
and the Vets now realize that great
mistake has been made.
The suit was the topic of converse
ton all day Sunday and yesterday,
and it constituted the sensation thus
far of the Wet and Dry campaign
No doubt when Goldring, the King
Bee of the Saloon interests in Pensa-
cola, instituted his suit, he thought ne
was playing a trump card in the Vets
campaign. No doubt he thought The
Journal might conclude TO ease up
little, with $4,000 damage suit
hanging over its head. No doubt his
advisors patted him on the back
this Five-bar-room Personification OF
the Liquor Traffic-and all together
they chuckled over the CONSERVATION
which was to reign in The Journal
Office and in the ranks of the Prohibit
tionists when this blow fell.
But the people-Wet and Dry alike
-repudiated the card. They turped
it down. Everywhere, by everyone,
the Goldring suit was ridiculed ana
condemned.
Everyone who can read the English
language and who knows the differ
ence between white and black knows
that Goldring has not been libelled
or damaged. That being the case, the
damage suit could not have been
brought for the purpose of yindica-
ton or of securing damages. If that
is so. then why WAS il brought?
The reason should be plain and Is
plain 1t is, in fact, TOO PLAIN. and
The Saloon interests, now too late,
themselves recognize it.
1t is one thing to sell whisky in
place. 1t is quite another thing to
dictate TO the newspapers what they
shall print and TO the public what
il shall read. The newspapers repu-
date the attempt and the public re-
sents it.
That is no doubt the cause of the
CONSERVATION which now reigns in the
ranks of the Saloon interests. They
have made a mistake and they real
ize it.

members, are doing SO in the hope OF

None of them have any desire to be
about polling places on election day,
but they feel it their duty and duty
they owe TO the women and children
of Pensacola, that they should do
everything in their power to assist
in this cause, and consequently Will
lend every assistance they possibly
can to the movement.
They point to the Pearl Eagan. Or
phan Home as an object lesson. Fully
so per cent. of the children in that in
stitution, according to the matron,
are there as a direct result of whis-
key, while the other so per cent. being
cared for are there as an indirect re-
suit of whiskey drinking of parents
or relatives.

An old man named Weston has
just completed ramble on foot Of
1900 or more miles from Portland.
Me, to Chicago. He made the
same trip 40 years ago. The old
gentleman claims the object of his
trip is to demonstrate that walking
is at once an exercise and medi-
cine. He points out that if people
would do lots of walking and eat
lots of prunes. there would be
little or no sickness in the world.
The moral is obvious. When you
have a tired feeling, distress after
eating, ringing pains in the dia-
phragm, or other popular almanac
symptoms, don't send for doctor,
but walk a thousand miles and
eat barrel of prunes.
