Cruelty to
Animals Should Cease.

The Journal yesterday referred to
nm ordinance adopted by the council
of Jacksonville, to regulate the driving
nf horses to hacks and other public
vehicles in that city We think such
IN ordinance a good one, and suggest
that the same course be adopted by
the council of this city.
This is a matter long neglected, and
some sort of action should be taken
at once to stop the practice of drivers
of neglecting their animals and TO pre-
vent the over-working OF teams
The charge is made, and doubtless
truly, that horses are left standing at
ihe cab stands for hours. without
water, food, or shelter of any kind.
1T is also said that in some cases
teams have been kept in service for
"a hours, while two sets OF drivers
were used.
Everyone knows that Pensacola's
cab horses are underfed, neglected,
overworked. and in some cases brutal
ly beaten. Many OF them are but little
more than skeletons, and draw We
hieles about that would disgrace the
stone age. They are left standing in
rain and storm, heat or cold. while
the driver seeks comfort elsewhere

The Neglect of
Our Waterways.

There is no country on the globe
favored with rivers nayigable at Ger
tain seasons of the year and which
could, and should, be made nayigable
at all seasons of the year as this
country is favored. There are no
richer valleys drained by waterways
than the valleys drained by the water
ways OF the United States-yet there
is no country which has been so neg
fectful Of its waterways as this coun-
try has been. That such is the case is
Shown by the fact that less than seven
per cent of the nayigable rivers of the
United States have been the subject OF
Improvement.
There are many reasons for the fact
of neglect. Appropriations for the i'm
provement of the waterways OF the
country were sporadic. inadequate and
misapplied in the sense that their APP
plication was for local projects, with
half hearted acquieseence in the i'm,
provement and with the railways
claiming that the days OF waterway
Improvement had passed.
The results of the neglect are appar-
ent today. The railways are admit
ting their inability to keep up with the
marvellous increase in freight offerings
and the question of waterway improve
nent has ceased to be political. 1t has
become an economic question forcing

ment by the demands of trade and

HENRY WAITERSON ON
ISSUES OF CAMPAIGN

argument is too absurd. no Illustration
is too rank for the men and the inter
ests that do not mean to be dislodged
if fraud and force can save them.
Nicholas LOngWorth, the presi-
dents son-in-law, says he did not say
it. But 5000 listeners say he did.
The notes of two stenographerS say
he did What boots it whether he did
or did not. no one who knows what Is
going on in the national capital, and
has been going on for long time,
needs TO be told That they are under
mining the popular foundations or our
Democratic government and convert
ing it into an imperial republic with
nothing wanting of monarchism and
titUlar nobility except the nomencla-
ture. The White House is already
the palace of king. The president
is already a sovereign in everything
except the name. Why should not a
member of the court circle blurt it out
that Taft is expected merely 10 hold
down the job for Roosevelt, since il
was thought premature to run RooSe-
welt for the immediate succession?
The campaign was and ii is
family affair. If the machinery which
nominated Taft was so mercilesS to-
ward the Republican allies who dared
to resist it, why should ii be counted
on TO share our free institutions after
eight additional years of moneyed ac-
erection and augmented power? Only
this can account for the personal in
terpositiOn of the president, who
throws duty and dignity to the winds
and gets down like a matador into the
bull ring, mud stained and powder
smircbed, swearing like a trooper at
all who come within the sound of his
voice and the reach of his infiamed
fancy"
