ment to any other planet.
Mercy is quality that ''befits
king better than his crown and has
more curative properties than any 9TH
er known virtue. The creeds have
found this out for they roll their pills
with tlis tempting covering To catch
ghosts journeying to other worlds 1t
costs nothing, and is furnished by
the great sunbounded >love of Nature
TO all who ask, tho the supply is
wasted upon lot of foggy population
that no one ever got acquainted
with, or knew what use they had for
it.
Revenge was never known to wipe
away tear, or ease an aching neart.
Revenge is the mother of woe, its flag
staff is hung with rags and wretched-
ness. 1t Is the child of hate, and mis-
cry is its god. And this is what so
ciety uses to alleviate the imperfec-
tions of man. Twas ever thus.

Work of Securing a
City Plan forst. Louis
iFRoM REpoRT or CIVIC LEAeUg OF 81: Louls.
Some eighteen months ago the exeeu-

Some eighteen months ago the exeeu-
tive board appointed a committee OF
FIVE prominent citizens to consider
the question of the feasibility of draft
ing a city plan for St. Louis. After
considerable investigation into the
conditions in st. Louis and a careful
survey of the widespread movement
for civic improvements the commit
tee reported that a city plan for st.
Louis was not only feasible sb.it most
essential and desirable. They outlined
in a general way the main features
of such a plan and recommended the
appointment of five committees to
prepare tentative reports covering the
various parts Of the plan, and a gem
eral committee to coordinate the re-
commentators of the various commit
tees and incorporate them into the
final comprehensive report. The ex
ecutive board acted favorably upon
these recommendations and the sva-
Tious committees were selected with
great care from the membership.
Prominent men representing almost
every profession and interest in the
city were chosen. The various com
mittees took up their tasks with en-
tiIISiasnl-held frequent meetings,
considered carefully each Tecommen-
dation and then framed their report
and submitted it to the general com
mittee, composed of the chairman of
each subcommittee. The general com
nlittee then correlated the several re-
ports in the one comprehensive report
containing what -they termed "A
City Plan for st. Louis
The. question then remained how to
put into effect these plans. A degis-
laive committee was appointed to
suggest the answer to this important
question Their report went exhaust,
lively into the question of taxation, in
debtedness and legislative enactments
which would be necessary to make
possible the carrying out of so COM
prehenSive a plan Two important
measures were recommended by
them First, a law permitting the city
in cases of condemnation OF private
property for public use, to take pos
session of the property upon the pay
ment OF the damages assessed by a
board of commissioners, leaving all
questions of adequacy to be further
litigated. Second, a state law which
will permit the creation of large out
lying park districts in ST Louis coun-F
ty, and the establishment OF a system
of connecting parkways. The first
law referring TO the extension OF the
power3of condemnation WAS submitted
20 the legislature, passed both houses
and has been signed by the governor.
This law is CT great Importance 70 the
city at the present time when il is en-
tering upon q period OF extensive i'm
provements. II viii permit public i'm
provements TO be made with the same
expedition which characterized rail-
read building and will remove one OF
the serious obstructions now in the
way OF economical and expeditions
construction of municipal public.
works
The other law entitled "an act 10
authorize the creation of public reseF-
vation districts" although introduced
late in the session, has been reported
The Pensacola journal., 1908-12-20

out favorably by the judiciary commit
tee of the lower house and if the legis-
lature renaain. IN: session long enough
we have reason to believe that the
bin will pass successfully both houses
of the general assembly and become a
law
When the legislative committee com
pleted its recommendation including
the above mentioned laws, the general
city plan committee then submitted
the entire report to the executive
board with the suggestion that it be
printed in book form and distributed
to the members $500 was appropri-
ated for that purpose and the secre-
tary was instructed to carry out the
recommendations of the committee
and have three thousand copies
prin<ed
The city engineer of Hartford,
Conn, says: -a
+ This report is one of the most at
tractive ones prepared by any city.
and your league is to be congratulated
upon the thoToughneSs and complete
ness of it's work.
Mr. Mcfarland, president American
Civic Association, says:
Il have read this report through
with growing delight 1t seems TO me
that iSis the most able and compre-
heusiye presentation upon this subject
yet made in America. While it pleads
the cause of st. Louis with efficiency,
it also speaks for the whole country,
and it is sure TO help many other COM
munities struggling with the same
problems"
The board of city hall commission
ers. of Cleveland, OHIO, say:
'sThis report is certainly "a great
credit to your city, and is perhaps the
most elaborate and altogether hand
some publication issued by any of the
cities now contemplating improve
men1s of similar character
The Philadelphia Public Ledger
says:
s.The elaborate report of the civic
league of St. Louis on the subject OF
a plan for the Missouri metropolis is
a document worthy of the most care
full stuiy 1t points the way by which
modern American cities should go
about the work of repairing the errors
OF the past. The whole subject has
been carefully covered by experts, not
as pioneers in these fields OF munich
pal betterment, but with full knowledge
of what has been done abroad and
what is being done today all over our
own country. BY bringing the best
results from everywhere to bear on
the local conditions in that city a
great civic service has been rem
dered."
The Boston Transcript says:
ssThe whole report is monumental
and one of the most comprehensive
ever prepared for such a purpose.
That volunteer body of citizens
should undertake and so successfully
carry cut a plan so vast and farreach-
ing. speaks volumes Of hope for the
future of St Louis The civic league
of ST. Louis and its committees who
did the work are to be congr2fu-
lated"

make this city inviting to outsiders,
we must give more attention to those

You can conceive without much Of

travellers from everywhere. from

vet st. Louis has the reputation OF
being ugly and unattractive.
The result is that continental trav-
elers pass through without stopping
retail merchants make their staVs as
brief as possible, and visitors find
their pleasure in friendshdps and not
in an attractive city. True the tour
ist does not supply the permanent and
substantial wealth OF the community,
vet the same things which attract
travellers to a city bring merchants,
jobbers, manufacturers and home
seekers.
A prominent merchant in this city
told me recently that his buyers did

adelphia and as much In New YORK
as possible, simply because they dis
like Phi1adelphia and like New York.
They preferred 30 spend their spare
time In the latter city, because OF It's
attractiveness, hence did their buying
there. The same influences aid In de-
termfning the manufacturers and the
homeseekers TO locate in q certain
city. All other things being equal,

The War Cloud

period of disorganization and disas-

than a mans hand, was gathering on
the horizon. Already the shadow Sf

est masters were ready to desert them
at the first intimation of emancipa-

After the war cloud burst, the nom
combatants of Pensacola evacuated
the city, seeking shelter in more pro
tected towns. Everything was left at
