SOCIALISTS WAKING UP,

o the Ed1tOr:-
Now that the political candidates
are getting out with hammer. uincers
and staples, repairing their political
fences, some people are beginning to
speculate as to what the socialists are
going to do; if anything, and whether
their movement will have any bearing
on the other political parties.
1t has seemed for some time as if
the socialists were dead, but we are
now assured they are very much alive

and hope he will be elected. We
must realize, however, that the demo
cratic party, if it would progress, has
q great many obstacles TO overcome.
SeIf-Sacrifice Needed.
The party should expeI every lead

against the wrongs of society and spe-
cial interests. Even if we could &C
Complish this, the democratic party

fore It Is hard to make acCeSSion5
from the OldIine republicans 1t is
the same with the republican party
they cannot make accessiOns in the
south, for practically the same rea-
son. Men ike LaFolIette and Cum
Minis could make new party success
full where men like Hearst and Graves
could not. because the leading spirits
OF the independence Party, those VINO
put force and steam into the move
ment, are Hearst's closest business
allies and legal advisers. LaFOllette
is known as a republican, but his
acts as governor Of Wisconsin. and
his speeches in the United States
senate prove him to be one of the
best, democrats that has ever been in
either position. Governor Cummins
of Iowa. is an executive leader of pub
lie sentiment who has been a thor
ough democrat in his desire to bet
ter the conditions of his state Now
If these two men should undertake
to lead the movement that Hearst
and Graves inauguTated at Chicago
a few days ago they would not have
these pTejudices 10 overcome They
could draw heavily from the repubIi-
can party, on account of having been
affiliated with it, and they could draw
heavily from the democratic party on
account of their successful advocacy
OF democratic principles. We cannot
have real reform in this country until
the good people Of both parties get
together. Reform is only another
name for progress

PENSACOLA IS.
PROGRESSING
Frank Fesler of Foley Con
locker" Says Baldwin
County Is Coming In.

The Foley (AIa) Onlooker says:
That there will be in the near future
be either a bridge OF ferry at the 1aT-
rows, Lillian TO Cummings Point and
possibly a canal connecting the wa
tiers of Perdido and Pensacola bays is
settled opinion among the mer-
chants of Pensacola. as they maintain
that if the proposed bond issue pro-
viding for a bridge does not carry, a
ferry will be installed by private sub
scription, so the connecting of the
counties can be accomplished.
At special meeting of the Pensa-
cola chamber OF commerce last Sat
urday at which Frank Fesler of Foley
a1d f. A VcgeIsang of alberta, were
present, in the interest of Baldwin
county, the matter was thoroughly
gone into with the determination to
push ii to the front at the earliest
possible moment
II was also brought out at the
same time that private interests are
at work on a proposed canal across
the spit between Perdido and PenSa-
cola bays with the idea of completing
suitable canal during the coming
winter if possible.
Pensacola's need of Baldwin county
produce and Baldwin county's need
of trading center were the most i'm
portant matters gone into as to the
commercial value Of such connections,
but other things were also considered
which had a strong bearing on the
need of better transportation facili-
ties such as the upbuilding of the
country lying along the proposed
route, the advantages it would afford
to winter tourists in giving a new and
picturesque auto ride and the fact
that it would tend TO increase both
the summer and winter colonies
along the Perdido, all of which would
help build Pensacola by building up
the supporting country
The opinions expressed by the mer-
chants was TO the effect that ensa-
cola must awake to her new oppor-
tunitieS and do as other new and pro-
greSSive cities in the west have done,
that is. not be satisfied with her own
immediate territory but reach out
and control the products and re-
sources of the several nearby counties
and thus show TO the world that she
is a producing city as well as an ex-
cellent DOTt.
Mr. Jacoby, of the Jacoby Produce
end Commission Co, stated that he
was even now arranging for outside
outlets so that he might step in and
take care Of all the produce Of the
surrounding country regardless of To-
cal conditions and that at the next
shipping season he would be in Bald
win county looking fer all the produce
available
Pensacola is putting in a new saw
er system, fixing the streets and such
building IS going on, this along with
| the fact that there are prospects of a
couple of new steamboat lines shows
that she is coming to the front as a
new and progressive city, and it is
probable that her influence will soon
be felt in various sections of the out
lying country.
