The local mony market continues
nrm. with interest rates showing no
tendency to decline. There has been
considerable comment In financial cir
oles over the fact that the Newhouse
loan OF 100000 placed IN the east could
not have secured better rate than 4
per cent, but bankers point out that
money is absolutely unobtainRDle ut
lower rates for u long term. In fact
they say the west has no conception
of what n shaking up the big money
institutions In the east had last foil.
and that no long time loans at the ola
low rates of interest can be looked for
for some months TO come, even with
first class business property as security.
The daily quotations of low money re-
ported by the Associated Press in New
York, refer solely To short time loans

The South Wants
the Investigation.

Since the first developments OF
sporadic cases of peonage in the
South were made, this section has
furnished overwhelming proof through
the courts and the press, convincing
to all honest and capable minds, that
such a crime was foreign TO this soil
and people, and that no effor|
be left undcne to discover those guilty
OF It, and bring them to punishment.
The South has been absolutely frank
in this matter and only malevolence
or stupidity would suspect otherwise.
In this connection it is interesting
and significant to note that the eff
fort of Mr.. Williams, OF Mississippi,
IN the house at Washington a few
days ago, to secure unanimous con-
sent for the consideration Of a reso-
luton to investigate the treatment OF
the immigrants on Southern planta-
lions, tuTpentine farms and lumber
and railway camps, was overruled.
The South has nothing to lose and
much to gain by a thorough congress
sional investigation of labor condi-
tons In this section.
We want relief from the nagging
of the Quackenbos woman and the
brazeR ISLANDERS of the hired maya
zine liars. and an official inquiry is
the nearest road to that end.
There are abuses, of course-the
only wonder is. that there are so few
when our peculiar racial and social
conditions are considerations when
all is told and both sides of the case
fairly put in evidence, the balance
viii be found heavily in favor of the
Southern people. This is unofficial,
but true.

The Tallahassee Sun has wisely
reached the conclusion that it is
wasting good powder and thunder in
its war on Frank Clark's candidacy
in the Second district, and in Its
last issue it reluctantly falls back
from the firing line in this fashion:
So as l said before, am facing the
inevitable and training myself to be-
come reconciled to another two-year
term for Mr.. Clark as congressman
from the Second district.
The denomination of Mr.. Clark,
which is practically certain. means
the recognition Of a peculiarly well
qualified man to represent his district
In congress, and the deserved reward
for conspicuous excellence in his
work thus far accomplished in the
lower house at Washington. To re-
tire such a representative after the
career he has made would be an in
excusable blunder and almost with
out precedent in Southern politics.

Cut Out the
Pedigree.

Candidates for Office in this intense
~ practical age of the world make a
mistake and lose time in emphasizing
the excellence of their ancestry and
presenting the merits of their for
bears as a valid claim of their own upon
the suffrage of the people. There
was time in the provincial and SEN
timental era OF our politics when that
kind OF argument had its weight but
1t don't so now.
Cut it all out, gentlemen office-seek-
ers, here in Florida You are calling
on the people to vote for you. not for
your ancestors: and while the laws
governing heredity are thus far very
obscure and we know little about
them, enough is known from actual
observation to warrant the conclusion
that mighty poor sort of son can
come from a mighty good sort of a
father and that the virtues of the
latter are not necessarily transmitted
TO the former.
In this age every tub stands on its
own bottom and to lean on an ances-
tor is a confession of weakness. Abe
Lincoln had no ancestors to brag
about, but he seems to have done
pretty well under the circumstances
and to- have achieved quite a respect
able standing in history He travelled
strictly on his personal merits and
his fitness for the job he sought, and
his example is good one to gentle
men who plume themselves on their
lineage and insist that 1t should make
votes for them.

great or small office to bore an a,t-
dience and prejudice his case in these
inconsiderate times is to start out

Pensacola returns it's enthusiastic
thanks to Senator Bryan for his sue
cessful effort in inducing the war de-
partment to reverse its decision of
some months ago and to consent that
the troops at Fort Barrancas might
march in the Mardi Gras procession
here next week. Their presence Will
add greatly to the impressive spec
tacular effect of the occasion, for
where ''the regulars" get in line in
any part OF this republic there is a
subtle interest lent to the event, as
certain as it is Irresistible. Senator
Bryan has been credited with a per-
suasive eloquence. and now We be-
lieve it.

WANTS JOINT DEBATES
FOR COUNTY CANDIDATE,

. Editor PenSa ola Journal:
/ have just been reading your
editorial in issue Of 25th February
headed The Campaign lacks warmth"
and while your arti-le seems to refer
more to the campaign for State and
Congressional Offices than to any 9th
ers it seems to me that there are sew
eraa County offices to be filled this
year which are of equal Importance
and in which the people should be
deeply interested
In every campaign that have ever
known In Our county the candidates
for Tounty ofhces, as far as public
speaking was concerned, were In the
position Of very slim tail to the
large kite of the candidates for the
U. S. Senate Congress, Governor and
the various other State Offices.
II the county candidate got chance
to talk to the people publicly at all it
was for very short time and often
restricted to two or three minutes
and at time when the people had
been listening to the big Guns" who
had made study of oratory part of
their profession.
Consequently the circumstam es
were anything but favorable for the
candidate for county Office, who GER
tainly has a right 30 be heard and
should have time to Say his say"
Your article suggests a way by
which the county candidate can get
before the people with time enough
to finish his talk and in a way that
will put some life into the campaign.
/ refer to the good, old time plan
or a series of joint debates throughout
the county to be started in Pensacola
at an early date and to be continued
say once a week at different points in
the country precincts.
While, probably, none of the candi-
doubt all would like to have a chance
to go before the people in this way.
We have already, four candidates for
Clerk of the Circuit Court and at
least three for Sheriff and l suggest
that they take the lead and hold
series OF joint debates, say once "a
week commencing in Pensacola and
continuing at important points
throughout the country districts.
By starting this series Of debates
soon after Mardi GraS as many of
the people as cared to come out to
hear them would know what these
candidates stood for, before the big
Fellows" came around with their
Heavy Artillery" Then If the plan
proved success other county canuI-
dates could adopt it,
Trusting that the suggestion win
meet with the approval OF those in
terested and thanking you in advan
for giving it space in your columns

SOCIALISM Is NEITHER
ATHEiSTic NOR CHRISTIAN

Pensacola, Fla, 2-26-0S.
Editor Pensacola Journal:
In a sermon printed in Tuesday
mornings Journal, Atheistic Socialism,
and Christian Socialism, are used in
referring to Socialism. I beg leave
to state that there is no such thing as
Athelst1c Socialism or CHRISTIAN
Socialism. We might as well talk
about an Atheisti- railroad or Chris
tan railroad. There are socialists
that are atheists and socialists thai
are Christians, atheist-sOc- alisEs and
Christian so ia1ists. There are atheist
democrats but no atheistic democracy.
II Christianity has anything to DO
with bread and meat and the way
man should get them, then that far
Christianity and socialism are one and
the same. As TO God aid the soul OF
man, so- ialism leaves the whole mat
ter in the hands u the church. Christ
and the Christians were crucif1ed be
cause they believed it to be wrong
for the John DIS OF that day to own
or control all the oil! for the same
reason the socialists OF today are
crucif1ed.

| also find this, in the sermon in

tions and all economical criticisms.
Here you have the reason why Christ

The New York World Is still look
ing for a candidate to oppose Nit.
Bryan for the nomination. Its latest
suggestion is Justice e. d. White, OF
the supreme court OF the United
States, and if he isn't available. then
try Chief Justice Fuller and Justice
Peckham of the same court. Those
distinguished jursts, we suspect, are
too well satisfied with their present
positions to permit the use of their
names in the Denver convention. AS
well informed men they are also toe
shrewd to go into any such undertak-
ing under the luckless auspices of the
new York World. They might well
pray to be delivered from such a
friend if they were presidential
aspirants- Ask Judge Parker.

The Indianapolis Star is no friend
OF William Jennings Bryan and views
with alarm the prospect of his cleo
ton to the presidency. But discuss
ing him under the caption, The Mys-
terry of Bryan it is constrained to
pay this striking tribute to him:
In world Of crooked politicians
he is straight. In a world OF drink
ing men he is a total abstainer. In
a world OF the agnostic and the care
less he is an avowed believer. He is
a church man, missions man, a
praying man. 1t is a thing to be
proud Of, especially when as Ameri-
cans we compare this sort of thing
with the license and gayety that so
often discredit the courts of the Old
World. Mr.. Bryan is a fine example
Of the best American manhood and a
worthy friend and champion of
American womanhood.
