Build the Hotel
and Do it Promptly.

The proposed hotel under Chas. B.
FIervey's proposition must be built.
I'VE say must. because only those or
less than average intelligence allow
exceptional advantages to pass I'M
needed.
1t is sometimes permissible to tell
unwholesome truths One such is
that Pensacola's lack of modern hotel
accommodations is little short of a
public shame, and is a community
evil and a milestone about the neck
of every enterprise and every effort
toward progress.
Chas. b. Hervey's management at
Mobile of one of the finest hotels in
America (perhaps the finest of its
size) has given him national note in
hotel circles His hotel is known all
over the country and constitutes one
of the most valuable of Mobiles
means of advertising her advantages
and progress to the world. Hervey is
one of the big men in Mobile He
and one other man went out and In
-four hours got checks and cash for
$4,000 needed to get Mobile into the
Southern Baseball League. That's the
kind of man c. b. Hervey is as a
hotel man and citizen.
Hervey says Pensacola, New Or
loans and Mobile have the best flu
lures of any cities in America. He
says Pensacola's future is especially
bright. He is glad 10 stake his repu-

than 100000 of stock has been sub

committee has done well, when one
considers the times and adverse local
conditions due to the strike, violence
and politics. A meeting of the sub

Despite some good reasons for de-
lay, there has been delay enough.

Let the end of the week find the neces-
sary sum subscribed.
Pensacola will never begin to real
lie her possible destiny until she does
quickly the things that common sense
demands. This proposed hotel is one
OF them. 1t is especially essential.

Kehoe's Fine Appeal

The strong appeal of ]. Walter ke-

for and to the militant democracy OF

personal standpoint, he is right In
saying that the interests of the peo-

1t is just such strong, while, pro-

Kehoe's that we need from the third

ENGLISH JUSTICE.
Hard on Petty Thieves and Light on
Wife Beaters.


1t is only about a century since the
death penalty was inflicted in England
for theft not exceeding the value of u
sheep. Now some of the London jour
nails are making merciless exposure
of magistrates throughout the kingdom
who keep up the tradition by sentenc-
ing petty thieves to jail while infict-
ing only trifing fines upon wife beat
erS and even more brutal offenders.
In one police court one defendant
was fined los. Sd. for knocking his
wife down in the street because she
refused to give him money for drink,
and another was sentenced to sixty
days Imprisonment for damaging
growing potatoes and stealing two
footballs.
For cruelty to a horse, beating his
wife, who was i'll, with fist and ham
mer and leaving her with nothing to
eat one man was fined 10 shiIlings.
while another, charged with stealing a
pair of socks valued at Sixpence. got
fourteen days hard labor. 1t would
not be difficult to make up a list of
similar cases from American police
courts. yet the tendency in America is
rather toward a higher estimate of the
value of human life.-Van Norden Mag

Now that the governors of Ameri-
can. states that assembled in Wash
ington at the call of ,he president
have concluded to perpetTate their
organization and meet regularly for
the purpose of inStructing congress in
its duties to the people, we fell keen
regret that onerOus political duties
prevented the attendance of the gov
ernor of Florida. We will have no
charter member of that illuStriOuS
body and it will be necessary for Al
bert Gilchrist to apply for member
ship next year-surely a misfortune
when Napoleon Broward had the op-
portunity of enrolling the name of
Florida well toward the front.-Jack-
scnville Times Union.
Yes, of course. But - governor
Broward attended the meeting you
would have wanted to know: "Why
can't the governor stay at home and
attend to his business instead of CAD
ding about over the country in attend
aDce at gubernatorial conferences ?''
The governor could hardly have salts
fed the Times-Union, no matter what
course he adopted.

GRAY Hairs In MaII Street.

writes h G. Hunting in the Technical
World Magazine.
The eager eye of the camera goes
everywhere nowadays, and the man
who makes picture getting his bust
ness adopts no peaceful, unexciting
pursuit. If he is under contract to a
great newspaper or magazine he may
be called upon to secure a picture of
anything. from a f1ashlight in the black
depths of a metropolitan sewer to a
portrait of the fairest white slave in a
Turkish harem. He may be asked to
get a female grizzly nursing her
whelps in her mountain lair to illus
trate some naturalist's work at one
end of the year. and before the other
end has come he may snap a shutter
on the lip of some smoking volcanoes

The Ocala Banner favored the state
primaries because il saw in them hope
for the poor man, but when it is con
fTonted with the fact that il costs
anywhere from $4,000 to $50, 900 to
make primary race, II wants to
know what show there is in the pri-
mary for the poor man. That's all.
1t begins to look like the primary is
luxury that the poor man cannot
afford.-Ocala Banner.
The Banners figures are of course
exaggerated But suppose, they were
not--is the candidate the only one
who is interested? The primary is
designed not alone to help candi-
dates get Office, but to permit the
voteT'-who is, by the way, vastly
more numerous than the candidate
to have a voice in the selection of
his public servants. The expenditure
OF money is a matter purely optional
with candidate, but the privilege OF
the voter TO express himself direct is
confined to the primary plan alone.
And the voter is the man who is in
terested in the preservation of the
primary system.

To the people of Japan the mount
Fujiyama is sacred. The meaning of

During that brief six weeks of summer
when Fujiyama's wind swept sides are
climbable. writes a. II. Edwards in
"Kakemono," the pilgrims come in
thousands. in ten thousands They
dress themselves in white from head
to foot. They carry long slaves of
pure white wood in their hands. each
stamped with the temple crest, and in
bands and companies they climb the
mountain.
Always the leader at their head. his
staff crowned with a tinkling mass of
bells. like tiny cymbals. chants the
hymn of FuHyama. For six short
summer weeks they come. Then the
winds rush down. the snow falls. the
tempests rage, and Lord Fujiyama lives
alone
No human being has yet stayed a
winter on his summit. and even in the
summer weeks the winds will blow the
lava blocks from the walls of the rest
houses and sometimes the pilgrim from
the path.
Fujiyama stands alone, not one peak
among a range. but utterly alone Ris-
ing straight out of the sea on one side
and from the great Tokyo plain on the
other. his 1866 feet in two long curv-
ing lines Of exquisite grace rise up and

Why Currants Are Nutritious

The reason why currants are so re-
markedly nutritious is that they con-
sist to a very large degree of saccha-

vor of the currant. which adds so much
to its pleasantness as food, is deriv-

The governor with an emotional
nature and a soft heart is one of the
really serious obstacles TO law and
order in the south. After a criminal
has been convicted and is under pun
ishment, the soft hearted kind of gov
ernOr yields to the opportunities of
friends and relatives, turns the crimi-
nal loose and away goes the cause of
law and order. Next to fair amount
of brains in his head the best quality
a governor Kan have is plenty OF
iron in his blood. He is derelict in
his duty when he pardons convicts at
the bidding of kind heart. Emotional
people should never be put in execu-
tive positions-they are we'll meaning
