After the destruction by fire of the
lroquois theatre in Chicago and the
loss of over 500 lives the inspection OF
theatres all over the country became
general to see that proper exits were
furnished and the danger from fire
and panic was minimized as far as
possible. The disaster in the publ.
school in the suburb of Cleveland.
Ohio, resulting in the death of 1877
pupils and teachers calls imperatively
for the exercise of similar vigilance
in the inspection of every school
building in the country. 1t is not a
matter for discussion nor delay. but
1t should be attended to at once by
the proper authorities, for a repetition
Of the Cleveland horror is possible at
any time in any city or town where the
conditions are right for 1t.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1908-03-08

The Pensacola Journal wants the
state candidates to get up an issue
that will make them all fighting mad
so as to instill some life and warmth
into the campaign, which it saws is
dull and insipid. We are surprised
that such a peaceable and anna BILE
paper as The Journal should be- so
eger to get up a fght-Punta Gorda
Herald.
The Journal is indeed peaceable
and amiahle paper, as a, rule, for we
hold it to be one. of the highest func-
tons OF Journalism TO promote a
peaceful and amiable spirit in a world
whose belligerent instincts have done
incalculabFe harm and are always in
need of regulation. But on proper oc,
casfon The Journal always gets on
the firing line and. stays right there
until the scrap has been brought to
a decisive finish one way or the other.
Our little paragraph which ptoSOkes
the sarcastic criticism OF the Herald
was not intended TO be construed so
literally as to put US in the attitude of
stirring up rowi' among the candi-
dates and urging them. to. hurl de-
fiance at each other. after the fash
ion of ancient and hostile knights in
armor. We were calling. for an issue,
something to diasuss on the stump,
and through the press, something def
mite and vital enough to lift the cam,
psign above the plane of a mere per-
sonal scramble for office accompanied
by the usual grist of plaitude5 and
generalities and promises which go
perfectly well without the saying and
have ceased to have any real APP
peahng force to the people.

SOME STIFF PENSACOLA PRICES
FORTY YEARS AGO

Alfalfa, Ala, March 6, 1908:
Editor PensacoIa Journal:
Several years ago I came in posses
sion of a set of books that were the
records of Mum & Putnam, of Pen
sacola, Fla, who formed a partner
ship March 20, 1867, and were part.
ners until 1859.
It seems that they were in the
whiskey and grocery business and it
is interesting to note the prices they
had to pay for goods. They were
subscribers to the Pensacola OBJ
server at $1,000 a year. and the Chi
cago Daily Tribune at $1,000 per
year.
Some other prices are as follows:
Corn, $500 per busheI; hay, $500 per
hundred pounds; sugar, % cents per
pound; ink, s1.00 per bottle; Irvine
for tying bottles. 800 per pound !;
bridge toll, $1.00; -four, ST. per barrel,
four pounds extra apples, 5000;
three account books, $3.50, and hun
dreds of other such prices Possibly
the children OF Mum or Putnam
would like to have these books as
relics of their fathers work and BUSH
ness careers. They can get them by
calling on me.
Respectfully.

The broad shoulders of the intel
ligent compositor" can't carry the
burden of all the errors which find
their way into the columns of the
press, although it has been d popular
rule in the front office" since news
papers were first established to get
out of trouble by that easy device.
In The Journal of yesterday on the
editorial page there was an error in
a statement of fact, for which the
compositor must escape all blame,
and which We hasten to correct in the
interest of accuracy and of justice to
the political record of William Jen,
nings Bryan. In discussing the po-
ditieal prospects in Nebraska this year
we stated that that state had never
net cast her electoral vote for Mr.
bryan" IAN error into which the
distinguished statesman to carry that
state in 1900 and the great mass of
republican comment upon it as indi-
eating his waning strength.
the presidency in 1896 he carried Ne
braska by decisive vote and he also
carried all the states west of the
Missouri river except North Dakota,
Oregon and California. He failed in
1900. for reasons too well known to
repeat and which have ceased now to
be dominant questions in politics. But
the issues of this campaign are so
widely different in kind from those
of the last and Mr.. Bryan's platform
stands SO signAly for. the reform OF
great evils acknowledged by republi-
cans and democrats alike that We
may reasonably expect him to repeat
the victories he won in 1896 in west
ern states where majorities are close
and political sentiment is not petri-
fled. and again add Nebraska to his
strength in the electoral college.
Defeat the last time has not dimin-
ished his prestige as great party
leader, and standing on the ground OF
new issues developed by the condi-
tions Of the last few years and con-
fronting an enemy broken into
irreconcilable factions for the first
time in a generation. his prospect for
victory next November Is very much
brighter than in either of his two pre-
vious campaigns.

Plausible, but Erroneous
Reasoning.

We regret to see our valued eontem-
porary, the Fort Myers Tropical
Breeze, which is usually correct in
its discussion of public questions, fall
into the error which it makes in the
following criticism of the railroad
commissions anti-pass ruling:
The Florida Railroad Commission
made one of the most asinine rulings
ever placed on record the other day
when il declared the railroads couldn' t
give a $25-1,0OO mileage book 10 any
newspaper in return for $50 worth
of advertising space. On the same
principle We couldn't give our clothier
SIS worth of advertising for SIS
worth of clothing, The principle in.
volved in the ruling IS so foolish that
murder would surely occur if a fool
killer" should happen to visit ITALIA
hassee
II the railroads should obey this
ruling, look how simple it is to evade
1t, thusly! The railroad agent can
walk into newspaper office, plank
down S25 for advertising space; the
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1908-03-08
PENSACOLA FLORIDA, SUNDAY MORNING MARCH s. 1908.

newspaper man can turn right around
| and plank down the same S25 to the
railroad agent for a 1000 mileage
book, and the same end is accom-
! pliShed, except that $25 was used to
| Iegalize the transaction. When the
Railroad Commission did away with
unlimited annual passes to editors,
lawyers, politicians, etc, it did a
| wise act, but when the commission
attempts to prevent newspaper man
from selling his advertising either
for money, or its equivalent in value,
it oversteps itself and treads upon the
personal rights Of every business man
| in Florida.
This reasoning is plausible, but
erroneous. If the railroad pass sys'
tenn is a good thing, it should not be
abolished. If it is bad thing, there
is no more reason for issuing a pass
to a newspaper man than to anyone
else.
It is presumed that a railroad pass
is issued in exchange for service or
value received. If newspaper man
is permitted to trade his services. or
his space, for pass, why should not
the lawyer, the politician, the lobby
list, the big shipper, the farmer, or
any other person be allowed to trade
his services or his favors for the
same thing? Why should the news
paper man be the only one who is
permitted to make a trade with a
railroad company for transportation?
The farmer cannot trade his cotton
for a railroad ticket. The big ship
per cannot trade his favors for one.
The merchant cannot trade dry goods
-or groceries for one. Why permit
the newspaper man to do so?
II a railroad were strictly private
institution there would be no objec-
ton TO permitting it to give away
or barter value with anyone. 1t
would be no ones business but that
of the company and the man with
whom it was bartering or to whom
it was dealing out favors
out a railroad is not a private in
stitution. 1t is a public institution,
performing public function, and it is
granted the right by the public itself
TO exist and TO perform that public
function Consequently the railroad
must be operated so that all members
of the public are treated equally.
There must be no discrimination,
either by rebates, free transportation,
unequal advantages, or special privi-
leges.
The privilege of trading something
like personal services, personal IA
vors. or newspaper advertising space
for a railroad ticket is a special
privilege and should not be permit.
ted.
The public. by statute and through
its railroad commissioners, fixes the
rates for freight and passenger SER
vice, provides rules for the character
of service rendered, and it should.
and in this case very properly does,
establish the manner in which that
service shall be paid for. In requir-
ing that it be paid for in money. the
public is treating everyone alike.
That is really all there is to the cues
| ton.

A PROTEST AGAINST SOME
PENSACOLA KNOCKERS

Editor Pensacola Journal:
Regarding the erecent knocks at
Pensacola, l wish to state that the
truth of the matter is that the
of Pensacola do not present a very
attractive appearance at the present
date, but every citizen of Pensacola
is aware of the fact that sewers are
being laid and sewer connections can
not be made until the sewerage con-
tractor has finished. When these
connections are made it will be neces-
sary to tear up sidewalks to do so,
hence there are at present many
walks not in good repair.
However. it appears to the writer
that most all of this kicking comes
from parties who have no taxes to
pay and who only wait for others to
pave for them. The kicker can make
himself at home in Pensacola for
awhile, should he so desire. Other
wise, the l.. & n. is selling excursion
tickets. while there is a passageway
between Forts Pickens and McRee
leading to the gulf affording ample
means for such persons to leave If
they should desire.

for that reason 1t is hard to under.

But at all events, the Nebraskan is
sure OF the Minnesota crowd in the

another story not yet told.
