Congressman Mann Of Chicago, who
is chairman Of the special House COM
mittee TO investigate the pulp wood,
wood pulp, print paper and paper tariff
questions, is thinking OF setting up a
miniature paper-making plant on the
floor Of the house and showing the rro-
cesses Of making pulp and paper, and
OF rejuvenating paper that has once
been used.

cess, trying 10 get its work complete
There is no knowing when It will re-
port. however, as Mr.. Mann has no hope
of getting serious attention during the
short session.
The committee is expected to make a
remarkable report, and TO propose some
rather startling legislation. 1t has been
doing a huge work, investigating the
whole worlds available supplies Of
timber ut for making paper. studying
the question OF using other materials,
Of conserving and restoring forests, the
relation Of the tariff 70 all aspects OK

problems.
Thorough Probe
No such investigation Of the worlds
supply OF paper-making woods has ever
been made. These supplies, so far as
they are known and may be considered
at all available, are mainly In the
United States, Canada, and Scandinavia
A very careful and detailed investiga-
ton has been made in this country and
Canada, the result being a more COM
plete and accurate appraisal of these
resources than has ever been under
taken before.

the different provincial administrations.

New Candidate for
Attorney General.

State Senator Park Trammell, of
lakeland, has announced his candi,
dacy for encouragement to succeed
Hon. w. H. Ellis.
" The announcement does not come
as a surprise, but it will nevertheless
be received with general interest and
the new candidate win command a
very strong support
Whether the young South Florida
democrat will develop sufficient
strength 10 defeat the present incum-

viii be drawn can only be determined
after the campaign gets thoroughly
started.
Senator Trammen Is an able, vigor-

Judge Chas. H. Laney,
Candidate for Congress.

Pensacola has the distinction Oh

honors of federal office in the person
of Judge Chas. H. Laney who an
nounces today that he is a candidate
to succeed Representative w, B. La
mar from Florida's third COMPRESSION
al district.
unique. No one but Laney could
write one just like it, and anyone
who knows the Judge would know
that the announcement came from
him without having to look for the
label. 1t may be little indefaite in
some respects, but it is entertaining
throughout and as Judge Laney prom
ises to make a thorough canvass of
the district it is quite likely that any
deficiencies in his platform will be
supplied to the queens taste before
the campaign is ended.
Judge Laney is one of the most en-
pertaining and most forceful stump
speakers in the district In fact, it
is doubtful II there Is man in the
district who is his. equal as politi-
cal orator and he certainly. has no SUI
periors. Just what he will do to these
other candidates when he gets into
the fight remains to be seen, but if
me makes thorough canvass of the
district the campaign will not want
for plenty of oratorical pyrotechnics.
This now makes four congressional
candidates-Griggs of Apalachicola,
Kehoe and Laney of Pensacola, and
Stephens of Mariana. Now If Fred
Myers, Jim Broome, and -Old Nat
Walker will only enter, the people will
have all the fun they're looking for.

Railroad Receiverships
and Other Things.

/ AS was to have been expected, the
corporation spokesman, defenders, ant
apoFogists are now busy telling the
public about the Seaboard Air Line
receivership. 1t was caused, they as
sert, by the recent drastic anti-railroaG
legislation, and 1t is simply a result
of what may be expected everywhere
If such legislation continues.
/ We regret to note that some news
papers which ought to know better
are being influenced by this corpora,
ton sophistry, and are lending their
approval to the impression which the
railroad agencies are seeking to i'm.
press on the public.
The Journal is frank to confess that
it does not know the real cause of the
Seaboard's financial difficulties, but it
thinks if knows. equally as much of
the causes as do some OF the news
papers which are trying to fasten the
responsibility upon the alleged anti
eailrDad legislation
If the Seaboard was forced into "a
receivershfp by unfriendly legislation.
the fact would be an interesting and
valuable study for future consideration
in such matters. But if it's misfortune
was. on the other hand, the result of
any one or severa; of a great many
other causes. which have, in years
gone by, produced the same results
for other roads,, it will hardly avail
the corporation interests much in
their attempt to place the responsible
ity upon the peoples shoulders rather
than upon their own, where it belongs.
The Seaboard is not the first rail-
road that has been forced into the
hands of receiver. 1t is not the first
railroad that, either through incompe-
tent or dishonest management, frfc-
ton and dissention in the. manage
ment, financial panic or hard times, Or
for purposes of reorganization-it is
not the first one-which has passed
into the hands of a government re-
ceiver for the purpose of having the
government put it on its feet after
PA1N0tC 1ldaAdSCmcAI IIdu, an the YER
nacular of the street, run it into the
ground.
Railroad managers were quarreiing
among themselves, plundering their
stockholders. abusing their charter
privileges, debauching politics. defying
public sentiment, and putting the
property entrusted to their care into
the hands of receivers long before
such thing as the so-called anti-rail-
road legislation was heard of.
That being the case, it is quite posi-
bic that the Seaboard management
may have been guilty of some of the
same things. Any way. our contempt
raries whose righteous Indignation has
been aroused to such an extent in
defense of their corporaaen friends
would show better taste by waiting un-
til the real status of the Seaboard is
known before ascribing its difficulties
to a cause which may be absolutely
foreign to the result.
