Why Not Make
Pensacola Up-to-Date?

A correspondent of The Journal, in
this mornings issue, joins in the eff
fort inaugurated by this paper to in
duce the residence owners of this
city to remove the unsightly and I'M
necessary fences around their prem
Uses and thus bring the residential
section of Pensacola up to date with
other cities in all parts of the Union.
The custom of fences around city
homes is now practically obsolete
everywhere but here, and it is high
time that we were rising above viii
lage prejudices and getting in line in
this respect Not only does the
fence serve no purpose of practical
utility, but it helps to mar the )unfor-
nifty of the street; and as so many
of the fences are allowed to get out
OF repair, some of them disreputably
so, they make the home itself positive
" unsightly, destroy the beauty and
harmony of the surroundings and dis
courage all EFFORT on the part OF others
to make handsome street lined with
attractive residences.
If any good purpose were served
by these fences which was not more
than balanced by other considera-
lions, we should not insist on this
abolition of an ancient custom when
Pensacola was primitive and provin-
cia; but such is not the case, and no
sound reason can be given for con-
hnuing the fence habit of our fore
fathers in a city which claims to be
up-to-date.
Government street in Mobile is one
of the most beautiful residence streets
in the South, but all its beauty and
grace and charm would have been i'm
possible if the property owners had
not long ago torn down every fence
and paling on it. Without such &C
ton that handsome boulevard which
is the boast of Mobile and is pointed
out with just pride to all visitors,
would be dis1gured with dilapidated
fences and shabby. sagging, implanted
palfngs along its whole length. re-
proach to every householder and to
the city generally. This is true also
of all the other, residence streets in
Mobile and of all other cities.
Fences around a city home in this
age of the world are almost absurd,
and not one good reason can be given
for keeping them. But, as our CORE
spondent points out, we must enforce
the stock law, not only as to horses
and cattle, but as to chickens and
dogs and goats, so that wel[kept
lawns may be safe from their depre-
dations. A city home is no place to
raise chickens and goats. They should
be relegated TO the country and
there should be an ordinance against
them, strictly enforced.
A large proportion of the people
OF Pensacola greatly desire to make
this a city of beautiful homes, modern
and up-to-date in all respects, and
this progressive element should not
be held back by the spirit and Gus
toms of generation that has passed.
This element is undoubtedly being
held back now for the want OF the
neighborly cooperation without which
there can be no forward movement TO
better things, and The Journal, speak
ing for our whole city and its best
interests, urges that this cooperation
be given. We are sleeping on our OPP
portunities here. Let us wake up.

Compton Still in the Race.

We are glad to note that our old
friend, Hon. ]. C. Compton, of Lake
county, is on the road to recovery,
and that he will remain in the race
for state superintendent of public in
struction. Many years he has ably
filled the position of superintendent
of schools for his own county, and as
an exponent Of the public schools he
has a statewide reputation. Mr..
Compton has an unblemished record
as a private citizen and as an officer.
He will make a strong race for the po-
sition to which he>aspires, and we are
sure twill be clean one.-Sanford

Some things even in the future
which haven't yet happened, are so
obvious and inevitable that it sets up
that tired feeling TO prolong a discus

ing their occurrence. The nomination

Stockton and That FlasIer Letter.


Research has been made into an
cient history by the political enemies
of John n. G. Stockton in order to
find material with which to compass
his defeat for governor. The old
charge that Mr.. Stockton once played
false to the people because he. was
compelled to throw up his hands and
acknowledge defeat in business CON
test with the F1agler interests, has
been resurrected. 1t IS silly. The old
saying that business is business
may have had its origin in an attempt
to defend unfair business methods,
but in so far as II relates to cut
throat business competition it simply
means that to him who hath shall he
given" the interests OF the man with
the short purse. In this alleged con-
test Mr.. Stockton had the short purse
and, therefore, the little end of the
deal. In his efforts to close the best
possible bargain with the interests OPP
posed to him he wrote q letter in
which his enemies withtreckiess disre-

1T is apparent from the announce

the people of the several counties of
the state are going to have an oppor-
tunity to send some exceptionally
strong men to the next session Of the
legislature, and If all of them improve
the opportunity we will have an ex-
ceptionally strong legislature. Con-
spicuous among the able men who
have lately announced their candidacy
for representative is Hon. L. E. Rob
erson, of Live Oak, who was formerly
prosecuting attorney for the third jul

the other candidates are, and, there
