The men went out on the fifth oil

after it was inaugurated.

The Logic That
Falls Down. -

There has been wonderful silence
of late in The Pensacola Journal and
other Stockton papers regarding the
proposition to teach the great heart
ed people true political principles
through the establishment of civic
leagues in every precinct of the
state. by the chief executive The
plan is novel and interesting-'but it
isnt exactly what may De called
democratic. 1t has smell of Roose.
veltism about 1t which offends the
nostrils.-Tampa Tribune.
We sincerely assure our sprightly
friend of the Tribune that there is
nothing wonderful in the silence OF
The Journal on the issue he refers to-
1t was disposed of satisfactorily to us
and we have seen no necessity to re-
yive dt again.
One OF the things which has i'm
pressed us about John Stockton is
that he isn't the least bit of dema-
sogue and that if he can't win the
race on his merits he doesn't want TO
win 1t at all. He is thoroughly sin
cere man, devoted to mis- native state
and the best interests of its people,
and one of the strikingly sensible
things he has said during the cam
paign was his suggestion of the organ
ization of civic leagues among the
masses TO study and discuss public
questions. No demagogue woul1 ever
seek to promote a cause OF thar kind
for with study and discussion comes
enlightenment, and with enlightenment
ends the reign of the demagogue him
self.
One OF the conspicuous educational
needs of Florida, and every other
staas. is some such system of civic
leagues as has been suggested by
John Stockton 1t would be as logi.
cal 90 denounce the school house itself
as the nursery of demagogism as to
say that civic leagues where citizens
freely and voluntarily meet together to
'swap" ideas and discuss public ques.
tions was an undemocratic system for
the breeding OF demagogues.

The celebrated case of Colonel
Stewart, recently in command at Fort
Barrancas, who has been exiled by
the president to an abandoned post
in Arizona, is coming to be almost
a national issue The best comment
on it in the fewest words we have
seen from any source is the follow
ing from the Birmingham Ledger:
A movement is on foot to have Col
Stewart of the army, given better
position, or a trial by courtmaHial
Stewards case as reported in the pa
pers, is a peculiar one. The charges
are that he is so diSagreeable that
when he commands post the sol
diers desert and the officers protest
That is no case for a courtmartial
and vet if tr1ra. irS"ifies his seQues
tration in posts where there can be
no uuarrc1 officers are
best judges OF each other.
The army IS q world to Itself, and
civilians judging army OTHERS by the
standards of civil life are more Otter
wrong than right The Ledger puts
much practical wisdom in its phrase
that army officers are the best
Judges of each other"

strike He carried out the highest
ideal any man can have, that of duty.
He was the sworn attorney for the
company prior toy the declaration of
the strike, and ne could not but live
up to his duty TO his client. l am con
fident that no thinking man will criti-
CHE me for this position l believe
that every man should do his duty,
under all circumstances.
Mr.. Blornt then made strong ap-
peal for support, saying that he would
do his duty no matter who or what
might come before him. That the la
boring man wanted a square deal and
that he would give it to him. He would
give everyone square deal who had
business with the county solicitors
office during his administration.
He reiterated that the real issue
was the general tness of the candi-
date for the position, and hoped that
he would receive the support of bis
hearers if they believed that he de-
served such support.

BEARD CAPTURES QUINCY
Gadsden County Times.

On last Friday evening, at the court
house, Hon. John S. Beard addressed
a representative body of Quincy peo-
pie in the interest of his candidacy for
the United States senate Nh. Beard,
in his mastery manner, jumped into
his subject at once and had the at
tention of the audience throughout the
evening. He discussed fully the few
pIanks of his platform, but dwet at
length upon the fret one-the uncon-
stitutionality of the fifteenth amend
ment. Mr.. Beard knows his subject,
and in a very convincing manner tells
why this amendment is uncOnStitUr
tional. When MIR. Beard said he was
not in favor of letting the negro vote to
decide an important question for the
white people he was loudly applauded.
During the lengthy speech. which
was the only speech of the evening, he
was frequently interrupted by ap-
plause.
Mr. Beard IS an orator of note, and
has a number of friends here who are
working for him in the senatorial race.

original sponsor, and gave him his
boost into fame, but ''Marse Henry
