BELFAST. July 20. 1908.
Before this letter appears in print, per-
haps, the house of commons will have
passed a bill that has been pending IN
parliament for several years for the es-
tablishment Of two new universities III
Ireland, one at Belfast. under the aus
pices of the Presbyterian Church. and the
other at Dublin, under the control OF the
Roman Catholics. although both are sup
posed to be non-sectarian and no relig-
ious tests will be required or allowed
at either. The names have not been de-
cided upon, but. it is said, the Presbyte-
ran institution will be called the Cniver-
sity Of Belfast, or the University OF ul-
ster; and the Roman Catholic institution
will be called the University Of Ireland
or the Royal University. Trinity College
is called the University of Dublin.
The enactment of this bill is part OF
the contract agreed upon between the
liberal government and the leaders of the
Irish party in parliament. which Is being
carried out in good faith. and will be
concluded at the next general election.
when the question or home rule in Ire
land will be submitted to the people OF
the United Kingdom.

Not only is he in favor Of the uri-
mary for the election of county, state
and municipal officers, but he ia even
so pronounced i'm his platform as to
state positively that in the event he
is governor adj vacancies 20 be filed
by appointment shall be %leI after a
primary election wherever the pri-
mary election is feasible"
Now here is proposition for you.
General Gilchrist's campaign man
ager writes that he has taken a very
decided stand On this question" and is
very pronounced in his platform
concerning it, while at the same time
mis- chief newspaper supporter and the
chief Anti-Primary advocate in the
state says 1t is absolutely ignorant
of his opinion" on the matter.
We know of but one precedent or
parallel for such ignorance on a can
dIdate or a campaign issue. When the
committee on resolutions of the St.
Louis convention four years ago was
wrestling with the financial plank in
Hill where Judge Parker stood on the
money question, and Mr. Hill replied
that-he didn't know.
OF course, everybody knew that
Judge Parker's position ON the money
question was identical with that of
his chief advocate in the convention.
Mr.. Hill. If it should now develop
that General GilGhrist's position on
the Primary System is identical with
that of his chief newspaper supporter,
the Tampa Tribune, the parallel will
be complete and the cases of Mr..
Hill and the Tribune will go down in
history as the most pronounced ex-
amples of ignorance" which political
annals afford
The Tribune accuses The Journal
of blending together two of the for
mer's editorials for the purpose of
conveying a false impression TO the
people Of Florida The Journal pub
lrshed what the Tribune said ON both
Observation-Disclosures and the Primary
and if the people of Florida have
got any false impression from that,
it is the Tribune's fault, not ours
We would suggest, however, that our
contemporary now get busy and do a
little Offending" with its candidate for
governor and the Anti-Primary issue
In the meantime, we should be de-
lighted to hear from General Gilchrist
right on it, we want to so place him
before the people of Florida. If he
is wrong, let us know it now.

The Tampa Tribune Makes
A Startling Confession.

When The Journal called attention
10 the fierce onslaughts that some OF
the chief Gilchrist newspaper support
ers were making upon the Primary
System and then asked for informa-
ton as TO whether or not these views
represented General Gilchrists own
sentiments in the matter, We had no
icea that the question wouLi precipitate
such general alarm-not to speak OF
the exhibitions of ignorance-which
has since been evident among the
Glchrist adherents.
The Tampa Tribune, for instance.
not only exhibits alarm for it's candi-
date, but it makes a confession on
ignorance of his position on the PrI-
mary System which is positively start
ling In answering The Journal, the
Tribune, among other things, says:
The editorial which gave The Jour
nal such alarm, headed THE Iniquit-
Gus Primary System was written
without the slightest regard to Gil
Christ-what he might think about it
or what he might do about II. We
are as ignorant OF his opinion as is

Business Men Should
Encourage Baseball.

The Journals sporting editor has
for some time been endeavoring to
create interest i'll the formation of a
six-team baseball league for West
Florida and Southern Alabama The
Interest seems to have been created,
but the league has not yet been
formed.
Now The Journal would suggest
that the business men of Pensacola
could profitably interest themselves in
this project. A good base ball nine
is one of the most valuable advertise
ments a town can possess. 1t gives
it place on the map. It attracts both
attention and people, and 1t is one Of
the many things that go to make I'D
a live business community.
The Chamber of Commerce might
discuss the matter a little at any
event. There are a few sports In that
