Of Vital Interest
to Pensacola.

The Journal calls special attention
to a communication in the VoX Populi
department of this issue signed by
Leland J. Henderson as secretary of
the Apalachicola board of trade, and
whose object is to arouse public SEN
timent in the matter of the proposed
INLAND waterway between New Or
leans and Apalachicola, and ultimate
ly across the peninsula of Florida to
Jacksonville or Fernandina.
The further object of the letter Is
TO arouse PUBLIC sentiment with a
view to calling a convention at Mo.
bile at an early date. at which rep
resentatives from all the country along
the proposed waterway shall be pres.
ent, and at the Mobile convention del.
Hgates shall be appointed 10 the ma
honal conference on waterways called
by the PRECEDENT of the United States,
TO meet in Washington City, May ID.
The Journal has for years been ad-
vocating this inland waterway along

All over Florida where the soldiers
of the state guard have returned from
Pensacola they have received warm
welcome by the citizens, which is
just as it ought to be. These young
men made a splendid record here and
demonstrated their real value in an
emergency, and the community which
undertakes them is a community OF
chumps. At no time in the worlds
history were there so many serious
problems 10 solve as now, and it is
sentimental poppycock and nonsense
to say that We can solve them with
out the strong arm. present to com
rnand respect for and obedience to
law. The people of Florida should
make it a point to ncourage their
state troops, for they are worth more
than they cost.

SAGE LEAVES.


1915 Davis ST, Apr. %.
The sudden and unexpected mill
tary practice of the state militia in
Pensacola has been a most interest
ing and satisfactory test OF its prac-
teal utility in events OF in) human
turbulence.
Although this new departure has
been made at great cost, it has I'M
doubtedly afforded much valuable
military training in practical discip-
line.
The street cars are now rushing by
this North Pole like electrical meteors
during sunny hours; but their absence
at later hours and lack of normal
patronage show that animosity has

Pensacola Experience Was Enough.

Since most all of the state militia
was in service for a week or more
at Pensacola, why not call the regular
annual encampment off for this year.
The expense incident to the service
of the troops while in Pensacola will
amount to large sum, possibly not
as much as the expense of the en-
campment would be, but in these days
of strenuous finances, when taxes
are high and finances are low. it would
seem right and fair to relieve the
taxpayers of some of the burden, at
least, especially where the same re-
suits have been secured as would be
by the holding of another encamp-
ment.-Madison New Enterprise.

Overshadowing Question

The difficulties under which Mayor
Goodman, Marshal Sanders, and the
whole city government have been
laboring ever since the beginning of
the disorder growing out of the
strike, was well illustrated yesterday

is now a question of law, order,
and government in Pensacola. That
is the whole question. The issue of
the strike controversy pales into in
significance when compared with this
graver and altogether overshadowing
question.
II simply now remains TO be seen
whether or not there are men enough
in the city who can be depended
upon to do their duty. If there are,
then Mayor Goodman and Marshal
Sanders should have their full and

The Tamest Campaign Yet.

Not quite four weeks remain until
the first primary will be at hand. And
so far it cannot be said that the, peo-
pie anywhere in the state have torn

candidate. Unless things take on a
decidedly different phase within the
next three weeks this campaign will
go down in history as about the tam

The situation at Pensacola is be-
coming more critical. Yesterday a
strike-breaker who was a conductor
was shot down on his car. 1t is not
known who did the shooting, but it
is quite certain that it was done by
some irresponsible persons who have
perhaps no direct connection with
either side. The assault was a COW

can be apprehended the guilty parties
