THE KICKERS MUST TURN TO THE LEFT

Thus saith the Oregon Oriana, regarding that species of human beings
stand with political party and vote with the other, who knock their
and refuse TO deal with their home tradesmen, and who do not believe
sewerage system should be constructed because it would cost too much.
Saint Peter, tits said, sits out by the gate,
His hands o the strings of his Tyre,
And he sings as he sits, a low song a he waits
For the spirits Of those who expire.
He hears in the distance the chorus of song,
That re- at the foot of the throne,
And he smiles al the music is waited along
And MARBLES this lay of his owns:
ssThere's DON in this reign for the millions of souls
Who by sorrow and o were bereft
sTis for those who have suffered that the melody rolls,
But kickNs must turn to the left
'sThere is o for the people when they were young
Persisted in sowing wild oats,
Yet who doomed up their town with snew and tongue,
But kickers must go with the goats.
There is DON for the people with pride,
In the beauty and growth of their town,
Who kept singing its praises and cha m till they died,
But kickers win please amble down.
There Is room for the burghers who cheerfuly paid
Their taxes for sewers and light,
But the knkersBut the kickers must 60 10 the Satanic conrt,
A place they al bolt when they die.
here Is DON for al who at last and at first
Supported their trademen at home,
But the kicker who branded home goods IS the worst
From mansions forever must roam
They'd say that the music was all out of tune, -
And the Angels robes, hand-me-downs
And they'd send for a jeweler off to the moon,
70 ample the gold in their crowns
So while there is room for the millions Of souls, p
Who by sorrow or woe are bereft,
We want n complaint of the music that rolls,
And the kickers will turn to the left

In the South, from Maryland around
| to Texas, the year 1905 has seen
more permanent street improvements
undertaken than any previous year.
It's record has been 1873 miles of per-
manent street pavements laid or con-
tracted for at ar approximate cost OF
81, 10O, 900 In computing the mile
age of pavements 30-foot roadway
is taken as the standard In yardage
this amounts to 3,286,000 square
yards
Although this record more than
doubles that of 1905. it looks as though
it, in turn, will be increased nearly
100 per cent. in 1907. Not only are
the larger cities contemplating extern
sive street improvements for this
year, but the smaller cities, those OF
5000 population and less, will have
from one to several miles of perma-
nent roadway to construct to replace
the macadam, ebert or clay on their
leading business and residence
streets.
AS much as any other one thing,
this increased interest in paved
streets bespeaks the prosperity of the
South In every state save one the
movement TO pave streets starts with
the property-owners, who are assessed
for the improvement from one-ffth 70
the entire amount That property
owners should feel the need or better
thoroughfares so strongly as to pc
tition for them at their own expense
means nothing more than an in
creased bank account and an Increased
civic pride And both are necessary
for the beautiful city.
In selecting the material with which !
to pave their streets the choice OF
Southern cities has included all the
standard materials to some extent, :
Brick and bitulithic, however, have .
been the more frequent selection .
Sheet asphalt, although laid in num- /
Der OF the larger cities. has shown
much decreased yardage. Asphalt 1
blocks have been laid in two or three
cities; wood blocks in some other
cities, and granite blocks, as usual
nave been placed where the street
was subjected to heavy wholesale
trahc, but comparatively few streets
Oh TINS character have come up for
improvement the past year. The
O1ck plants that have furnished Vitri-
aed brick and blocks for Southern
work nave had all they could do 10
supply the demand, and the bitulithic
contractors have been forced to carry

funds without a bond sufficient in
amount to indemnify the county
against any possible loss. But even
IL this were so there is no reason to
suppose, the treasurer would be an
honest man, and the tax collector a
dishonest man. There can be no dis
tlnctiOn drawn between them in this
particular. One collects and handles
tie money, while the other, in the ra-
jCrity Of cases, never sees it except
on the statements rendered him by
the bank in which he keeps it de-
posted, and through which he pays
il out
The Journal is still of the opinion
that the Office of county treasurer
could be abolished without additional
cost, risk, or inconvenience to the
county and citizens, and this with a
saving to the county of the fees an
nually paid this officer for the dis
Charge of the duties which, in many
cases ne does not perform himself, or
is put to expense to have others per-
fern for him.

The Question of
Street Paving.

In another column will be found an
article from the Manufacturer
Record relative to street pavements in
the south for the year 1906, which is
Of particular interest at this time, and
to which The Journal desires to di-
rect particular attention, especially as
the cost and value of the different
kinds of paving is discussed.
Many opinions have been expressed
in answer to The Journals invitation,
but the matter of cost, with a showing
OF figures, has not, as yet, entered into
the discussion OF the question, the diff
fcrent kinds having been exploited
from the standpoint of their respec-
tive merits only.
Pensacola needs a paving that will
answer all requirements, both as re-
CARDS wear and initial cost, and while
it would be great mistake to lay any
style of paving just because it is
cheap, the question Of price is one of
vital Importance.
The Journal commends the article to
the careful consideration of the citi.
Zens of Pensacola and invites further
discussion of this important matter

sold, on six-inch concrete foundation,
from $3.50 to S225 a square yard, and
on sand foundation from 50 IL cents
to SI.65 a yard. From such work,
however, only very ordinary results
have been obtained. Asphalt has been
offered In these states from $3.50 to
S225. the average being considerably
under 81. Five-year guarantee has

In the distribution of paving ma
terials the bitulithic and asphalt are
found in the larger cities, together
with some brick which in these mu-
inequalities has been placed in alleys
and on side streets. For the best res
i6ence streets and for the retail bust
ness streets the least noisy pave,
ments have been preferred. On such
streets the bitulithic shows a gain
over asphalt
In the medium-siZed cities large
amounts of brick have been used. very
little asphalt and an increasing
amount of bitulithic. In the small
municipalities, where permanent pave
ments have been laid, brick and btu
lithie have been the materials Some
of the improvement work done by
states was as follows:
In Tennessee, Knoxville has let

In Alabama, Birmingham has con-
tinued to be foremost in this line of
work. Over 100000 square yards of
bitulithic has been laid and contrac-
ted for. and the city has worked
steadily ahead in its purpose to pave
all the leading business and residence
streets with this material. In addi-
ton to this. the two yitrified brick
plants at Birmingham have been
given contracts for about 1000 yards
of brick, which has been used around
freight sheds. between car tracks on
