Will The Air Ships
Come First?

The Jacksonville Tines-Union is
optimistic on the subject of good
roads for Florida. 1t says that such
roads will create value more than
sufficient TO pay for them and that
counties which refuse to join the good
roads movement will find themselves
dropping behind to such an extent in
material development that self preser-
walton will compel tnem to get in the
procession. Says that paper:
1t will not be many years before
Florida will be covered With good
roads, and We would like to see the
different counties lay their plans with
an eye to the connection of their sys-
tems. We desire to see the day when
\ good hard road from Jacksonville
10 Tampa will give pleasure seekers
an opportunity of riding from enc OF
Florida's chief cities to the other in
their cars and give the people along
The route easy access to the towns.
Then Jacksonville and Pensacola
should be connected by a continuous
good road and another should run up
the st. Johns and down the East
Coast In addition to convenience in
roads would place the country as well
as the, cities in reach Of the tourists
and enable the country as well as the
cities To profit by the tourist trade
That is. indeed, a picture fair to look
upon, and we believe with our conte-n.
porary that it will be realized in time
But when We consider the fate of the
three proposed amendments to the
constitution. in the late election, be-
cause so many of the paper: and poll
ticians yelled: More taxes! More
taxes. Vote ag'in EN-" we have our
own notion about when the time will
he. We should be glad to get a com
forting suggestion from the Times
Union to the exact date or there
about, when we can get in our auto
mobile (nOw in posse) aarl speed it
over noble highway (then in esse)
all the way from Pensacola to Jack
sonville. We have a lurking suspic-
ion that We may be able TO make the
trip by airship before that date ar
riVes.

Tourists and Vegetables-In Hoe
Signo Vinces!" We are moved to this
classic aspiration by a dispatch to the
Times-Union from Miami which says:
There is a general feeling that this
winter is to be banner one SO far
as tourists and vegetables are con-
cernsd." 1t is a combination full Of
happy presage for the veal of the
commonwealth. and as there may be
some Holsters among the tourists and
we nave plenty of fish and oysters to
add to the vegetables, We ask IL all
seriousness what more could a nan
ask for this side the pearly gates than
10 spend the winter in Florida?

PENSACOLA FLORIDA MORNING NOVEMBER g.

portance of Asiatic questions, and his
experience must surely have impress
ed him with the necessity of naval in
crease and of the maintenance of a
strong American naval force in the
Far East. It is for these reasons that
the Herald ventures the opinion that
Mr.. Taft could do no better than to
offer him the naval portfolio.
One other name presses for COM
ment. While the president elect is
engaged in the selection of his cabi-
net, it will be we'll for the country if
the great claims of Governor Magoon
of Cuba are recognized. He is an Of
fetal of the Taft standard and stamp
and has been as successful in Cuba as
Mr.. Taft was in the Philippines and in
Panama. II the Cuban outlook be to-
day as reassuring as 1t seems it is
mainly attributable to Governor Ma
goon's tact and firmness OF purpose,
to his knowledge of men and to a
broad minded policy that has won him
the unstinted approval of all political
parties.
The cooperation of two men so en-
inently fitted as Mr.. Thompson and
Governor Magoon for Cabinet rank
with a leader so inspiring as Mr.. Taft
cannot fail to secure the best results
for nation that expects proved ef-
ficiency rather than political debt pay
ing in the selection of the advisers to
the chief magistrate.
Mr.. Thompson has visited Pensacola
on several occasions, the last occasion
of his visit here being coincident with
the presence of the battleship fleet
when the vessels were here for winter
maneuvre and target practice. He is
familiar, as few other men are, with
the needs of the navy and the condi-
tons which make necessary the de-
velopment of our naval strength.
The Herald's recommendation is an
excellent one and The Journal sincere
ly trusts that when our new president
makes up rs cabinet, he will act upon
the suggestion.

The Ocala Banner says that it is not
inconsistent with the democratic
theory of tariff for revenue only TO
put our Florida citrus fruits under the
protection of the existing tariff sys-
tenn, as these fruits are luxuries, not
necessaries. But what about Sea
Island cotton? Is that luxury2 Does
not the Banner want that rich and
profitable product of Florida soil also
TO enjoy the benefits of the protective
tariff, even though it is not a luxury {?
Are We not all Hancock democrats
when our selfish interests are at stake,
and tariff-for-revenue-only democrats
when we have nothing wort high tar
in protection. We don't admit it: we
only put the question to the nestor of
the Florida press. While We are de-
handing that the republicans shall re-
wise the tariff are there not a good
many among US WHO also have a
sneaking desire that the next demo
cratic platform shall undergo a little
revising as to the tariff plank? There
are good many near-republicans up
in the Birmingham district now. and
among the Louisiana sugar-planters,
and if We don't get the next democrat
ic tariff plank a little more to suit
them there'l be trouble in the ranks
and the disaffection Will spread.

I. Will Have 2 State Fair,

The decree has gone forth by the
directory of the state fair at Tampa
that the same will be held. This was

decided to pay the back premiums,
which were never paid because of the
depleted treasury. To overcome this
serious impediment the board of di-
rectors will issue certificates which
certificates can be converted into cash

ton is available. Just when this will
be the Lord only knows. but il is sin

Rather Be Killed by Home Folks.

While there are many worthier rea-

number of murders which lave stain
ed the soil of several Florida counties

the bad reputation the state is getting

as the roll over other states Even
though a man live in state where
murders are as common as IN Florida.

PENSACOLA AND
PENSACCLIANS

Mostly in Pensacola and Environs.
The total valuation of the county of
Escambia for tax purposes is $685.
265 this year. Four years ago it was
$6,647,053. This is an increase of
more than AZ per cent. since 1904. 1t
is to be presumed that most of this
increase in the taxable value of the
county is in Pensacola and its en-
virOns.

Result Would Have Been the Same.

soul alike TO hear it said now that We
might have won last Tuesday with
some other man than Bryan. If we
had searched the world over no per-
sonality to SurpaSs that of William J.
Bryan could have been found to lead
the party. In truth the lofty and sin
gularly noble character of the man
was a source OF positive strength in
every doubtful state and we do not
believe that one vote was lost be-
cause he was the nominee. He was
absolutely unassailable on his person
al side and the platform of any other
democrat, who might have been nomi-
mated at Denver. We were beaten be
cause the majority preferred republi-
can policies to democratic policies and
it is injustice as stupid as it is crueI

stainless leader who did all that NOR
tai could do for a cause predestined
to fail.-Pensacola Journal.
No matter who the nominee might
have been, the result would have been
