A Public
Dry Dock.

Capt J. c. Petersen contributes to
The Sunday Journal, a plea for d pub
lie dry dock, puolic wharf. and d
public warehouse owned by local peO-
pie and exclusive of any railroad or
shipping interest.
Pensacola already has the finest
railroad terminals, and whaTves, OF
any city on the gulf. but Capt. Peter
sen pleads for an independent con
Germ. In his article he tells of me
bountiful blessings nature has be-
slowed upon the Deep Water City, OF
the fine harbor and natural resources,
but urges that the citizens not fail to
not remain idle, enjoying that which
is given by nature, but reach out and
add to what nature has given.
His article should be read by Pen
sacoIians in the spirit in which it is
written. Pensacola has much, but It
needs much more, if the city is to he
come the chief port of the gulf in at
ter years, and certainly this is not i'm
probable, If the facilities 10 attract
shipping 10 this port are provided and
become known 10 the transportation
interests of the world.
1t will not do to lightly pass over
that which the city now has, nor Will
it do to depreciate the shipping fac1II-
ties which Pensacola already has, but
in the same sense it is not wise to for
get that the city needs many things.
The Journal agrees with Captain
Petersen that dry dock and public
wflarves and warehouses will do much
to bring to the port the shipping bUsi-
ness that will in time develop it into
the chief port of the gulf.
Capt. Pettersen's article is recon-
mended to The Journals readers for
1t will in a measure serve to open the
eyes of the citizens here to a pressing
need in PensacOla's present progress.

TELLS P|TIFUL
STORY Of WANT.
Little Ten Year Old Gould
ing Boy Walks to Pensa-
cola to Secure Relief For
His Fanily-Is Aided by
Local Salvationists.

The spectacle of a ten-year-Old boy,
hungry and hopeless, who. the oldest
of five children, had trudged all the
way from GOulding to seek aid for his
destitute mother. was presented in
Pensacola yesterday, the little fellow
finally succeeding in making his way
to Captain McAffee of the local branch
of the Salvation Army, and handing
him a note from the unfortunate
mother.
Il am sending my boy to explain to
you my condition. she wrote. 4

nothing. practically in the house for
my poor little children to eat l want

A PitifuI Case.
Meanwhile. the child, who was a
manly appearing little chap, regarded
the captain intently as the contents of
the letter were noted His appearance
spoke of poverty, but he was sCrUpu-
loUsly neat. and his tiny suit had been
brushed until it had shone.
My father is away looking for
work, he explained, simply, and
am all my mother has now"
His eyes were large and bright
from munger and the fatigue OF tne
long journey, but honesty oUtshone it
all in the crystal depths In fact, the
story of the boy could not under any
circumstances have been doubted for
an instant, and Captain McAffee,
whose funds for charitable purposes
are painfully low At the present time.
began 10 confer with those whom he
knew would he willing to help. The
letter was passed about in the streets,
and contributions were soon sufficient
TO fill peck basket for the temporary
relief, at least, of the stricken little
family.

happily upon the little crowd, which

A Homecoming"
For PenSacolianS.

The Journal today publishes a story
written on the suggestion of Mr.. George
W. Johnston, of this city, that home
coming" week be planned, and all ma
tive PensacoIians be invited to visit
their old home, the Deep Water
City"
The sentiment OF the suggestion
will appeal to every person now living
in Pensacola, who has brother, a sis
ter, soE, daughter, or an old neigh
Dor or friend, and it is not necessary
to recount here the reasons why such
a visit from those we have not seen
for years would be a happy event.
But there is more to it than this;
there is the exceptionally fine oppor-
tunity of advertising the progress and
prosperity that Pensacola has en-
jOyed during the past decade. Those
who have been away from the Deep
Water City for twenty years, fifteen
years, ten years, or even five years,
cannot appreciate the commercial ad-
vancement Pensacola has enjoyed.
The great shipping interests of the
city will be a revelation to them and
to their new friends in the cities and
country where they now make their
homes
The Chamber of Commerce and bus;-
ness men should consider we'll the
plan of giving a home coming" week.
The Journal believes it would ma
terially aid Pensacola in its efforts
to obtain a larger population and
more capital for tho development OF
the resources of the city, and will
gladly give its columns to a free dis
CUSSiOn of the plan by its readers.

Kermit Roosevelt. the presidents
second son. now in his twentieth
year, figured in an incident just a few
days ago in way that does him great
credit. A gentleman with his wife
and two children in a carriage drawn
by two spirited horses, was driving
near the Roosevelt home when the
team took fright and ran away, throw
ing the man out. Young Roosevelt
was on horseback and succeeded. with
no little danger to himself, in riding
alongside the Tuuaways and finally
bringing them to a halt He probably
saved the woman and children from
serious injury and perhaps death. The
young man was warmly congratulated
and. of course. is quite the lion of the
hour just now in the vicinity of Oys-
ter Bay.
