In Keeping With

The latest sensation in which the
Jacksonville Times-Union figures is
uuite in keeping with its general
ronduct during the present campaign.
"A few days ago John Stockton
charged that the Times-Union, after
making charges against his charac'

ply, even though he offered to pay
tor the space used.
Now the Times-Union publis shes a
communication rejecting ON Stock

have known at a glance was for

of Dlval county says constitutes

farmers. in that section have over
$4,000 lying idle in Mobile BANKING
institutions Pensacola needs that
money, and can get it.
This settlement of people who are
eagerly awaiting a welcome from
Pensacola, live in the Elberta district
near Foley. Baldwin county. In their
eagerness TO get to this city, they
have constructed a road from Elberta
to Lillian, across the Perdido Bay.
Now they ask that Pensacola and Es-
Gambia county, Florida, do their share
provide a ferry across the bay, and
build a road into the city.
The matter was placed before the
Pensacola Chamber of Commerce
last week, and referred to the proper
committee. There should be no de-
lay in receiving an early report and
the building Of the road and financing
the cost of the proposed ferry Ser
vice should follow with all pos-ible
dispatch.
On this cross road there are nearly
five hundred families, supplies for
whom will be purchased here. County
roads tributary to the main road will
place a thousand families in touch
with Pensacola merchants.
Is this rich commerce not worth

Editor Pensacola Journal.
Please allow me space in your Vox
Populi column of The Journal to ask
a question or two ~-I.ioh i trust that
Mr.. Jacob Shanibarser will kindly
answer, as he has seen Droner to
laud Governor Broward's administra-
ton to such heights.
First-W1hat has Gov. Broward
done for the good of Florida more
than any other ordinary man would
nor's place? He has had to enforce
no drastic legislation, such as Glenn
or Conner; he has advocated no great
reforms as Hughes or Hoke Smith.
He has had no disorders or strikes
to contend with. CThe Pensacola
strike was handled by his private
secretary while he. Gov. Broward,
was campaigning the state)-
Second-What does it cost per
acre to drain the Everglades?
Third-Does anybody know the
cost?
If drainage is a profitable PROPOSE
ton why did Gov. Broward spend
four hundred thousand dollars of the
public school fund for drainage. and
where is his authority to spend the
school fund fo~ that work?
Is it not a act +hat 80. Broward
broke international law when he
ran a fillibustering expedition with
the Three Friends" to Cuba?
Did not violate his oath of oft'"o
in spending school f-rnds other than
for schools?
In fact one might go through his
entire administration and would fail
to fTF one single a"+ or comolna-
tion o. acts that would put him on
the pedestal of fame.
II is true that Gov Broward has
made US a good governor, in that ne

and his secretary aas done the work

A COMMERCIAL TRAVELR
NAMES 1.-THE PANAMA HOTEL

DeFuniak Springs, Fla, June 13.
Editor Pensacola Journal:
/ notice you ask that those who
are interested in Pensacola, TO sug-
gest a name for the new hotel, that
we are soon to have in our home
town.
In my opinion, we should have a
name that is easy to pronounce, as
well as easy to remember. One
of the greatest contracts ever enter
ed into by our government, one that
interests. Pensacola more Tor should)
is the Panama canal. For with 1t
finished, and the fact that Pen sacola
will be the nearest harbor by miles,
and the fact that our city has the
finest harbor on the southern coast,
will force railroads to come to US,
thereby completing the nearest di-
rect route to the Panama canal,
forces me to come to the conclusion
that the Panama Hotel" at Pensa-
cola will be a popular place with the
travelling statesmen and tourists.
Panama" will be easy to remem-
Der and it also represents the great
est engineering Ieat of the age. Pan

seems to us that the time has come
when voters should bust tne politi-

Trades are being made four years

If Governor Broward was such a
great and powerful man and so close
to the poor people, why did he not
recommend or provide some way to
make the l.. G. n. railroad reduce her

mend a reduction of the expenses in
many ways that are needed in this
state? Why does ne not call atten-
ton to the legislature that Florida
laws allow $1.25 for recording mort
cages. when other states allow forty
and fifty cents for the same mort
gage? Why does he not show the
discrimination of mileage, when the
sheriff goes for witness? Said
sheriff gets ten cents per mile botn

An Honest
Republican Confession.

Mr.. Walter Wellman, the we'll
known Washington correspondent of
the Chicago Record-Herald, sends
back to his paper a very frank state
ment of the situation as he finds it
at the national capitol. Mr.. Well
mans statement is published in the
Record-Herald of May "A, the follow
ing extract giving the tenor of it:
Republican discomfort with the
winters work and anxiety as to the
outcome of next falls presidential
and congressional elections are the
dominant notes of the closing days
of this session. It would not be ac-
curate to say that the republican
leaders are in a panic. They are not.
But from President Roosevelt down
they are discontinued; they blame
. one another for the collapse OF party
leadership and failure to carry out a
program that will satisfy the country.
and they are fearful that Bryan may
beat Taft in November. President
Roosevelt places the responsibility
upon the leaders in congress who
were trying to get even with him,
and the leaders on the hill place the
blame on the shoulders OF the presi-
dent for what they call his ill-advis-
ed effort not only to dictate legisla-
ton burt to name his own successor.
At the capitol the leaders of the two
houses blame one anoUher-the men
of the senate declaring the most con-
spicuous failure, that of the currency
bill, is due to Speaker Cannon's bad
management, while the speaker and
his lieutenants say the fault was
wholly that of Senator Aldrich. who
would consent to nothing when ne
found he could not have his own
way Not for many years have the
republicans finished session of
congress upon the eve of the nation
al conventions and the presidential
campaign in as bad numOr as they
are at this moment. Not one ap-
pears to be content. Every one ap-
pears to be fearful of what is to hap
pen in November. 1t is the almost
universal belief here that Taft and
Bryan are to be the rival candi-
dates. and it Is a curious fact that,
whereas a few weeks ago very few
democrats felt any hope of Bryan 5
election and very few republicans
would admit the possibility of de-
feat of their ticket, now most demo
Gratis are hopeful, while some are
confident and a great majority of the
republicans are pessimistic- A Few
republicans go farther and confess
their belief that Bryan is going to
! win. One man. prominent in repub-
| lican councils and a powerful speak
er on the stump in every campaign,
admitted to me mis- belief that Taft
would be beaten at the polls.
