The Plaza AS
An Object Lesson.

The very great improvement in the
condition and appearance of the
Plaza, accomplished with small effort
and at small cost, is striking object
lesson in how easily Pensacola could
be made a city of exceptional beauty.
The commissioners in charge of
the Plaza have taken the initiative in
campaign that ought to enlist the
active aid of every resident, old and
young, and the work thus far done
ought to stand in the sight of coun-
cilmen and public as illustration OF
the correctness of The Journals oppo-
sition to turning over the center OF
Garden street to the street car COM
pany.
No one can see Garden and Palafox
streets from the north front windows
of the BlOunt building without being
impressed with the splendid pessi-
bilities for beauty of both these two
wIue streets, which could at small
cost be made, and at little trouble
maintained, among the most notably
beautiful public streets in America.
Such a contamination would not only
greatly enhance the reputation of Pen
sacola in the sight or the world at
large, but would also be a powerful
stimulus to civic pride in many other
ways Viewed even from the narrow
and selfish viewpoint of individual
interest, every intelligent property
owner along Garden street from end
to end, and along Palafox from
Garden to Wright, ought to gladly
Join The Journal in its efforts to in
f1uence public opinion irresistibly
toward the making of a city beautiful.
Look at the Plaza today as COM
pared with two weeks ago. Note the
change, and reflect how Pensacola
would be improved by inducing the
street car company to vacate the park
portion of PalafoX street and then
having PalafoX and Garden streets
made what they should, and could
easily, be-streets famous for their
beauty. Isn't it worth while?

MEETING Of
SAFETY BOARD
City Attorney Rules With
Board Regarding Grant
ing Leaves by Mayor.

The position of the members of the
Board of Public Safety, that the
mayor has not the authority to grant
leaves of absence of employees of the
board, was sustained last night by the
city attorney, who, in written
opinion, told the board that it had
complete charge of all employees, and
that the mayor had not the authority
| to grant leaves of ABSENCE to amy
member without consulting the board
or city council This opinion was
the result of a leave granted Police
man Steward Warfield
Firemen on Trial.
Immediately after hearing the
opinion of the city attorney, charges
preferred by Chief Bicker against
Capt. Riera and Fireman Brown OF
hose company No. l., were read and
the men placed on trial. The charges
were for going into places considered
unfit places for men in uniform
Brown was also charged with absent
ing himself from duty without per-
mission. He pleaded guilty to this
charge and was suspended for ten
days.
On the other charges, both men
were exonerated, Fireman Brown
proving that he was not in uniform or
on duty at the time and Captain
Riera proving by the assistant chief,
hremen and others that he was at
the truck house at the time stipulated
in the charges.
Police offfcer Let Out.
Police Officer J. G. Nichols, now in
the county JAIL having pleadeS guilty
to running a gambling house was dis
missed from the force.
al OIi1o,. tool a.
make a few remarks regarding the
reflection cast upon the board and
police department by officers being
guilty of keeping gambling houses
and offering city protection to negro
patrons of such places, and Marshal
Sanders stated that he believed no
more men of that calibre would get
into the department.
Chief Bicker recommended that
the firemen of truck house No. 5 be
given something additional for caring
for the sick stock of the department
Upon motion, the MAYOR was reques-
ted to allow the men SO per month
extra until some provision can be
made for caring for the stock.
Other Business.
A. L. Stearns was elected a men,
Der of the police department, and J.
p. O'Shea a member of the fire de-
partment. The resignation of Chas
H. Villar was accepted from the po-

Through more. or less general Ell
ror, serious injustice, SO Ear as
facts were concerned, was done
''Kress" last Sunday morning in the
publication of report of the visit to
that store of a representative of the
Humane Society, it being stated that
the store did not contain, as required
by law, seats for the female clerks.
The error occurred in this way: Efr.
Wilson visited the store and told the
acting manager, Mr.. Collins, the OBJ
jecr of his visit, which was to see
if the seats were provided, rs re
quired by law. Mr. Collins said that
everything would be as the law re-
CURED by Monday, if Mr. Wilson
would then call Mr.. Wilson did not
look to see if there were seats. and
left under the impression that there
were not. It developed later, how
ever, that the store has for long
time had the seats, as required by
law, back of the counter, but two of
them were broken. and Mr. Collins's
meaning, when he said everything
would be all right on Monday. was
that he would by that time have the
broken seats repaired, which h. did.
and on Tuesday morning there was
seat for each saIu5woman, as re-
quired by law

Are You Going Away
this Summer?

Are you going away this summer
to the mountains. the lakes, or some
northern seashore resort? If you are
you will want The journal to follow
you.
You will want The Journal for sew
eral reasons. 1t will keep you in
touch with the home news. 1t will be
to you what a letter from home al
ways is, but more complete and salts
factory than any letter you could get.
1t will reach you daily and as soon
as the mails can carry it from Pensa-
cola, and you will come home knowing
as much about what has been going
on in the Deep Water City as will
those who have remained at home.
And more than all this daily copy
of The journal will afford the best
advertisement of your home city
which you can exhibit to your friends
in other states. Do yoJ know that
The journal will compare faVorabIy
with any paper published in any city
of three times PensacoIa's size? And
do you also know that in exhibiting
such paper to a friend abroad you
will impress him, more than you could
dc in any other way, with PensacoIa's
enterprise and Importance?
If you hadn't thought of these
things, you will do so cow, and you
will consequently order The journal
sent to you when you leave the city
for your summer outing.
Don't forset it.

up. The clerk in making out the
papers changed months to years, and
the mistake was recently discovered.
A bill was introduced in the legisla-
ture this week to pay the mother
of the girl for the overtime served.
1t is almost inconceivable that such
mistake could go undiscovered,
and that it did reflects no credit on
the humanity of those with whom
the woman was thrown in contact.
One would imagine that in the course
of twenty years some, prison attache
would have had enough milk of hu-
man kindness in him to have taken
enough interest in the prisoners to
have discovered the inexcusable err
ror in this woman's case 1t reads
more like one of the infamies ex-
plotted in Dickenss novels than it
does like a possibility in a civilized
