LISBON. Feb. 3.--Lisbon is still in
the throes of intense excitement, and
TIL, authorities continue to follow ur-
oeasngly the details of the plot which

King and his heir. IT was established

Premier Franco has relinquished

This step signalized the practical
withdrawal of Franco from power. He
agreed to this measure as one calcu-
lated to pacify hostile public opinion at
time when only a spark was needed
to inflamc the whole country and hurl
it headlong to revolution.
1t Is nevertheless believed that Franco
will still be the imam Of power,' but

without interfering with the interests

the trial The defendants lawyers
agreed and Samuel Kalisch opened for
CORDIALLY.
AS on the preceding days, all persons
not directly interested in the trial were
excluded from the courtroom for the
reason, in the first place, that its venti-
lation is notoriously bad, and in the
second place, because some of the testi-
rnony is of a character not fit for polite
cars at all times.

The Mules Dausion.

The pack mule is quite as much an
Institution as the team mule and is
absolutely indispensable in the noun
tains. Mule packing is fine art, and
with a well trained animal and skill
full packer you can safely transport
anything from a piano to a bag of oats.
When the packer has finished his job
in an artistic manner, the animal may
buck or back, kick or rear or roll, but
he cannot rid himself OF his burden,
and he finally gives it UP in despair.
After two or three experiences he will
submit to his destiny and fall into line
with the rest of the train every morn
ing to receive his load from the pack
er. A well trained pack mule is at
ways proud of his load. and if by any
mesns it gets loose he will step quietly
out of line and wait until the pack
master comes along to tighten il.
The most serious objection to the
mule, which you sometimes find in bu-
man beings also, is the deIusion that
he can sing. One who has never heard
a mule solo cannot appreciate the ex-
tent of his mistake: but, like every
thing else about a mule his song is
strictly original. 1t belongs TO no other
animal. No one can describe and no
one can initiate it.-New York Mail.

Schools Will
Be Well Protected.

Following the report of the commit
tee of the Board of Public Safety, ap-
pointed to inspect the public schools,
with regard to their equipment for
fire protection, came Chairman Ander-
sons advice that the contracts for this
work had already been let, and that
the schools would be in safe condition
by October 1, the date of the opening
of the school term.
This is highly commenjabie. The
schools needed, according to the re-
port of Messrs Oliver and Bicker,
much improvement, particularly No
20, the enrolment of which is made
up of the youngest pupils of the
schools. School house disasters, by
fire, are infreauent due to careful
manner in which the buildings are
safe-guarded from fire, but when fire
psnics have occurred in school bUld-
ings they have nearly always been
attended with frightful results
That the Pensacola school board
has sought TO place this city's schools
in a safe condition is in keeping with
the high regard in which schools and
school children are held by the mU-
nicipal officers and people of Pensa-
cola

The B!eoS Red Banner.

Royal and national colors vary with
nations and times, but since Cain slew
Abel blood red has been the sign of re-
volt In the earliest revolt known to
history, when the PeTsians rose against
their king 1000 years ago, they were
led by n blood red banner, and during
the riots which took place IN Paris the
men in the blood red caps were fol-
lowed by the mob. A blood red flag
waved over Bunker Hill when the
Americans fought for liberty, and it
was the emblem Of the German peas
ants in their great uprisings in 1924,
1882 and 1525. Blood red was the col
or Of the trades union flags during the
middle ages. and it framed the back
ground of the emblem of the Swiss
confederacy In 1915. Through the
whole Of French and every other ns-
tional history those striking in their
own ways for liberty have worn the
blood red cap and hailed the blood red
banner as their leader. 1t is curious
fact that never has q monarch chosen
it as his celCr-London Answers.

Dangerous
Motor Driving.

There is no objection to the aUtomo-
bile. He who keeps abreastI of the
times realizes that II has come to
be almost as much a vital neces-
sity to metropolitan life as the horse,
but there is objection TO the abuses OF
the rights of public highway, of which
the driver of the automobile is so
prone to be guilty.
citizen of Pensacola was run
down last night and narrowly escaped
with his life. His injuries may yet
prove very serious, and the occupants
of the car did not even stop 70 inquire
into the injuries of the victim Au-
tomobiles are entitled to the same
privileges on the public highway that
any vehicle is, and no more. The
pedestrian is also entitled to certain
privileges of the public road. When
the driver of a vehicle, whether 1t
be a horse and rig, or an aUtomo lie
abuses the privileges he is accorded
he should be punished
General condemnation of the auto
mobile is nonsensical, but there is a
reason for the almost general Opposl
ton TO it. A motor car is capable
of attaining a speed far greater than
that of a horse, and everyone who
drives a machine feels the desire to
take advantage of its speed powers
whenever possible. II is this that re-
suits in such accidents as that which
occurred last night, and it is such Oc-
curenees as these that place the au-
tomobiIe in disfavor with a majority
of the people.
