DEPARTMENT
IS SWAMPEl
Capt. Hobson's Work in the
Sixth Ala. District is
Being Initiated.

Washington advices say that when
Richmond rearsOn Hobson was elect
ed to congress, everybody agreed
there would be something doing. A
few of the most conservative expect
ed that he would not start things I'M
til the day the house met. They
have predicted that until the captain
was sworn in, he could not very well
get busy.
The captain has fooled them and
incidentally the department of agri-
culture has to bear the brunt of it.
Last month Captain Hobson, after in
terviews with the department Off
Gals, took a party of the depart
ment's scientists on trip through his
district and they explained to the
farmers what were the scientific agri-
cultural needs OF the section.
1t was something entirely new, and
something of obvious value. Inciden-
tally people in other districts heard
about 1t and they want to know why
Captain Hobson, such a new member
that he has not even taken the oath
of Office, can pull on such stunt
while all their congressmen can do is

movement is on foot among the mus
ic lovers of this city TO make Mr..
Kalkenborn's orchestral music a per.
manent feature in New York. For
this subscriptions from wealthy per

Gould received 231 requests for
money outright. Out Of these 199

an anti-saloon league in Idaho. She
received forty-three requests for aid
for churches, twenty-seyen for educa

help for charitable institutions. Four
persons, presumably young women,

cycles, farm and three cows, inva-

If the editor of the Metropolis read
the interview with T. A. Jennings in

Growth In Traffic Marks
Stride of American Prosperity

How rapidly the Industrial wealth
of the Pacific Coast and Southwest
ern states has grown in recent years.
and how transportation has kept pace
with this phenomenal development
is shown by comparisons OF trafflc
figures in the first and last annual
reports of the Southern Pacific Com
pany, issued by the present manage
ment of this property. AS an indt-
cation of the growth OF the territory
served, the unprecedented increase in
the transportation of various products
over all lines of the Southern Pacific
is an impressive exhibit when con-
sidered as an index of railroad de-
velopment.
This table has been prepared TO
show the increase in the transporta'
ton of products from the farm,
ranch mine, forest and factory. The
total increase in the Southern Pa
cific's revenue tonnage from 1902 to

The Journal Will Write Up
West Florida Counties.

Beginning next Sunday, The Jour.
nal will devote one section of the
Sunday paper to a write-up of one of
West Florida's best towns, with the
county which that town, is. the
metropolis. Every two weeks there
after another town and county will
be written up until all of West Flor
ida has been covered.
The first write-up will include De
Funialk Springs and Walton county,
and will appear next Sunday morn
ing, one whole section of the paper
being devoted to it and necessitating
a % page paper for that date.
AS the editions on these dates will
be much larger than they usually are
and as they will go to class of peo-
pie in whom Pensacola business men
are directly interested, they will OF
fer the best possible advertising
mediums for every Pensacola business
house which desires to reach the
West Florida public.
People who are interested in the
widespread advertising OF West FLOR
ida's advantages will also desire ex-
ira copies of these West Florida edi-
lions to send away to their friends
in other states.
The Journal expects to make a sys-
tematic campaign of description for
West Florida and its representatives
will canvass the entire region for ma.
terial and descriptive matter with
which to make these write-ups inter
esting and effective.
No daily paper has ever made an
effort to exploit the resources of West
Florida in this way before, and The
Journal will not only make the effort,
but it expects to succeed in giving
this great section an introduction to
the outside world that will be both
anteresting and profitable to the
whole of West Florida.

A society recently formed in Chi
-cago for the purpose of helping the
unemployed to get employment has
divided the unemployed into three
classes as follows:
Tramp-A man who doesn't want
to work because work interferes with
his travelling, lives without work and
travels constantly.
Hobo-A skilled or unskilled unem-
ployed laborer without money and
looking for work.
Bum-A man who hangs around a
low-class saloon and begs or earns
few pennies day in order to OBJ
tain drink usually an inebriate
During the first two months of the
existence of the society, applications
for work were received from two
hundred persons, and they were
booked according to the above clas-
sificatiop thus: 10 tramps, 12O hobos,
40 buns and so stranded professional
men.
The managers of the society, hay
ing a bent for statistics, show by
their records that, of the applicants,
| twenty-five per cent wore soiled col
lars, fifty per cent had no socks, and
eighty per cent were drinking men.
The most surprising fact in this show
ing is that only eighty per cent of the
unemployed were addicted to the
liquor habit and we are curious To
know what could have been the mat
ter with the other twenty per cent.
