| The Pensacola Journal is doing
great work for it's city and the cause
of Democracy Frank Mayes can al
ways be dependen on to do the right

Others Of Same Opinion.
Editor Mayes, of the sprightly Pen
sacola Journal, after visiting the
west and carefully reviewing the po-
| litical situation, believes that Mr..
Bryan's chances of landing the presF
Dental plum are most favorable.
Other keen observers and close stu
dents of public sentiment are of the
same opiniOn--Palatka Times-Herald-
Thinks Might Glut Market.
The Pensacola journal, speaking
of the tobacco situation in Leon
county. says: Some of the larger
packing houses are stocked with the
! product of last year, and there Is no
| immediate demand for it." The pos
sibility of Cutting the market for
Florida tobacco is probably overlook
ed by those who are urging more
farmers TO go into the business of to-
bacco culture.-ShoTt Talks, Jack
sonyille Times-Union.
Not All Are Dead.
1t has been told in Pensacola that
| the last of the red headed hebes of
Apalach." are married. That's the
trouble of Dragging about a certain
color of hair, the supply is liable to
run out. Now, what is Bro. Johnston
to do.-Pensacola Journal.
You are mistaken. Apalach. yet
has a number Of bewitching, be-dim-
pied, red headed hebes on the car
| pet, and they are not candidates for
amiSSiOn to an AdamIeSs Eden,
either.-Apalachicola Times.
Should Profit by it.
The first requisite in making city
"a good place to live in is cleanIi-
ness Dirty, filthy streets, poor SAM
| tation, untTimmed trees and uncut
weeds, do not make for "a good place
to live in" Cleanliness is necessary
| first, last and all the time.
The city that boasts of dustless
streets, Of clean alleyways, of weed
less vacant property, of well kept
lawns, wins commentator, and draws
good citizenship from other cities
| that do not boast such civic condi-
tons
Not every city can have all the
paved streets it desires The revenue
may not justify the laying of miles
x1f a nh q or dor7 oxyin
ness may net authorize such large
expenditures, but every city can be
clean-PenSacola journal.
Well said, Mr.. Journal. And Mr.
Observation-Disclosures of the negligent
Quantity-we think you should read
not once, but many times, and profit
thereby Times.
Pipe Before Paving.
For the moral encouragement of
The Pensacola Journal We will say
that once, upon one of the numerous
vacations the Times takes, it was in
a northern city where no street was
paved until the public service corpO-
Tations had laid service pipes to the
curb of every lot on its full length
or at least on the section proposed
to be paved. Owning its own water
works, the city complied with the
rule That city was fortunate enough
to have full supply of alleys through
every block, and to these were con-
fined all sanitary and storm sewers
and connections. The result was that
when street paving was done it went
down TO stay.
The folly and waste of breaking
pavement every time a pipe Is to be
laid for water, gas and sewer mains
is costing the residents of cities in
Florida a great deal of money which
might be saved, not to speak of ruin
ing costly pavements which ought TO
last a generation without the femov-
al or displacement of a brick. 1t is
not too late for the city of Tampa 10
adopt this sensible policy and save
what it can of the pavements yet 20
be Iaid.-Tampa Times.
