control enough members to prevent
the anti-saloon people from getting
the three-fifths majority necessary TO
submit the constitutional amendment
authorizing state prohibition.
The other matter-that of a reduced
passenger rate-is one which is al
most, if not equally, important The
article by Chairman Burr, of the rail
road commission, elsewhere in The
Journal today, relative to the history
of the commissions attempt to secure
a Scent rate on the l.. & n in Flor
ida, explains the obstinate attitude OF
the railroad company in terms that
ought to be plain TO everyone.
The l.. & N is the only trunk line
in the state that still maintains the
old Accent rate, and it is evident now
that the road intends to fight a reduc
ton just as long as it can do SO sue

candidates in advance on these two
questions, and it hopes they viii no

AS to the Candidates
for the LEGISLATURE

Every county in West Florida shnuld
give more than ordinary attention this
yeap to the kind of men who will
represent this section in the next ses-
sion of the legislature.
There are two questions particularly
upon which the people should insist
that candidates for the legislature
should make definite announcement
one Is the question of state prohibi-
ton, the other the question of forcing
the L. & ~ railroad to adopt a reason
able passenger rate.
The people should demand that
every Legislative candidate pledge HIM
self in advance to the support of state
prohibition. The liquor interests are
already at work upon a program by
which they hope to prevent any legis-
lative action calculated to interfere
with their business. From the three
chief counties of the state-Duval,
HllSboro, and Escambia-leading ex-
poneuts of the liquor interests have
already announced for the legislature

TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION
TO ALDERMAN ANDREWS.

Editor Pensacola Journal.
Replying to the recent communica-
ton In The Journal of Alderman J. y.
Andrews, in which the chairman of
the printing and publishing committee
OF the city council inquiries as to who
are his critics, we desire TO inform him
that we, in replying to his remarks be-
fore the city council, represent the
members of Pensacola Typographical
UniOn-men who earn their money in
Pensacola, spend 1t here, are residents
and taxpayers, and have as much right
to crfucise as Alderman Andrews. In
fact, in the present Instance, a little
more.
The communication to which Mr.
Andrews refers as intended as
crusher," dealt with quite a number of
matters, of which the alderman failed
to make any mention He might have
made his reply more extended and eX-
plicit by explaining to the public ito
whom he refers quite Often), why he
failed to call his committee together
for the purpose of receiving and open
ing these bids for the printing Of the
city code. Why he failed TO adver-
tiSe for bids for this work, which
amounted to quite few hundred dol
lars, and al SO why he did not give res
identS an opportunity to he heard b.
fore the committee before he proceed
ed TO recommend the acceptance of
bid by the council. He might also have
explained to the public why the men,
bers of the committee, of which he is
chairman, were in ignorance OF the
fact that report was to be made TO
the council on the printing contracts.
Why one of the members had request
ed, at prior meeting, postponement.
SO that d meeting would be held and
the bids considered (Which was never
done). Why there is now no signed
report OF this commit tee, awarding d
contract of about $500, on file in the
office OF the city clerk. Why the chair
man OF the said committee did not
present any report, except a Verba'
one, to the council. Why is it that the
city clerk, who was instructed to re
ceive bids for this work, notified two
offices to modify bids mot Alderman
Andrews), and why this clerk has no
record of the successful bidder ever
having submitted d bid to him. or that
he ever turned over to the chairman OF
the printing and publishing commit
tee bid from such a firm?
Alderman Andrews might have, in
stead of inuuirinC as to who are his
critics, explained these matters to the
public. as we'll as quite a number OF
other things connected with this
printing contract.

A Frivolous Objection
to Mr.. Boards Candidacy

The opinion has been expressed
that should John s. Beard be nOmi-
mated to the United States senate in
the primary to be held on the 18th
day of May, another primary would
become necessary to select a state
senator from Escambia county.
This is a great mistake. The can
didate who is nominated in the pri-
mary for the United States senate
will not be elected until the next ses-
sion OF the legislature, which viii be
in April, 1909. Congress will not
then be in session, having expired
by limitation on the 4th day of
March, 1909; and the next congress
does not convene until the first
Monday in December, 1909, unless
there is an extra session, which is
not at all probable
If Mr.. Beard should be nominated
TO the United States senate at the
primary, he will be elected by the
legislature in 1909, but as above
stated, congress Will not then be in
session and will not convene until
the following December. Nj. Beard
will thus fill out his term as state
senator before he will be called upon
to take the oath OF office as United
States senator.
The objection to his nomination
to the United States senate upon
the ground that he is now a state
&c fri ST a
| senator is not a salaried officer. but
receives a per diem the period
aIaI1,--4I--HilArr- observation-disclosures Is
! in session. He has no official duties
to discharge except during the session
Of the legislature; hence Mr.. Boards
candidacy for the United States SEN
ate does not in any conceivable way
conflict with any official duty or obi
cation.
One of his opponents is d member
of congress and one is governor of
the state, both of which are salaried
officers. When one of his opponents
was. elected to congress in 1902, he
was attorney general Of the state of
Florida, and he continued TO hold the
Office of attorney general until just
before the beginning of his term as
a representative in congress. He
was nominated to congress in July,
1902, elected in November, 1908, and
did not resign as attorney general
until the last OF February, 1908, mis-
term of Office as representative in
congress beginning on the 4th day of
March, 1903.
1t is true that one OF Mr.. Boards
opponents for the United States SEN
ate was chairman of the state execu-
tive committee, and resigned, but
the primary law prohibits a candi-
date being a member of the eXecu-
tive committee, and very properly so,
as one of the duties of the executive
committee is TO count the vote cast
in the primary and to declare the re-
suit.
We repeat, that the objection to
Mr.. Boards candidacy upon the
ground of his being a state senator
is frivolous in the extreme.

PENSACOLA. FLORIDA SUNDAY MORNING APRIL 5 1908

all other questions down here seem
almost paltry.
Professor Giddings has entirely the
right view of the attitude OF the
Southern people in the matter of
racial intermarriage which is some
thing so grotesquely horrible to the
Southern mind that it is not to be
contemplated for a moment.
We do not deny, as Professor Gid
dings says, that illicit relations be-
into existence mulattoeS and quad
rooms" In all parts of the world
where the white race has been thrown
in contact with negroes, such Tela-
ton has prevailed in greater or less
degree, and the South is no exception
to the rule, but it is one of the surest
facts of Southern sociology in this age
that ever since the civil war this re-
latiOnship, which reached its climax
under the institution of slavery, has
been rapidly diminishing, and outside
the we'll defined circles of vice and
prostitution from which no general
rule can be deduced, there is very
little of it left in the South.
Certainly the mulatto is not increas-
ing in numbers now from such illicit
intimacy. and we feel sure that
final period has been put to that phase
of the negro problem
If the true negro with the black
| skin is disappearing or is likely to
disappear for mana century to
| come, we can see no-4--l~ruHce OF it
from a very extended observation
| through all the Southern states, and
we don't doubt that a census on that
question would show that the muIatto
| is not nearly holding his own with
his black brother in numerical in
crease.
Doubtless our fOrefathers were not
sinless and that muIattoes are here
through their fault, but new condi-
tions and the most ominous and exas-
perating problem that ever confront
ed the white race on this earth have
changed all that. Racial purity at the
South, always absolute in the matter
OF marriage, is now very nearly so as
matter of fact, outside the lines of
recognized prostitution. and increase
in the mulatto population resulting
from Illicit racial relationship is an
item hardly worth considering.
Speaking for the whole body Of the
Southern people The Journal heartily
thanks Professor Giddings for his
kindly. sensible and sympathetic
view of our troubles down here. and
IL we had more friends at court of
his influence and temper it would be
all the better for Southern whites
and negroes and all the American
people, for it is writ large in the
Book of Fate that the negro problem
shall spread to every state in the
Union.
When that time comes the academ-
&c gentlemen up in Boston and other
cultured centers, who now lecture Us
on our shortcomings, will give place
to a very different type of D, oblem-
solvers who viii have to face the in
sistent, swarming negro as a rude
fact, not fine theory to be discussed
in the library.

Section Four Settles It.
Some of the papers are contendinS
that because the legislatures of 1909
and 1907 failed to make an appoTtiOn-
ment. and the last legislature had 1Ol
members, all acts were unconstitution-
al But section ( of article VII reads;
Where any senatorial district is COM
posed of two or more counties, the
counties of which such district con-
sists shall not be entirely separated
by any county belonging to another
district. Any new county that may be
created shall be entitled to one men,
Der in the house of representatives in
excess of the limit prescribed in sec
ton of this article until the appor-
tiODment following next thereafter,
and shall be assigned when created

tricts as shall be determined by the

How Do You Stand on Prohibition?
The people of this town want to
know how every candidate stands on
prohibition, both for county and state
officers. a Dig majority of the votss
of the town are prohibitionists and
we feel sure that the minority will fall
in line with the majority when we
once agree on our man. The time has
come when the good citizens Of FlCr-
ida should demand good, clean men
TO represent them. II is time for cur
ministers to become citizens and
