Bovcott Is Effective

Pensacola, Fla, April 2S.-The ef-
fectiveness of the boycott on the PEN
sacosa Electric company was shown
Sunday, when the cars which are al
ways packed on Sundays, passed
along the streets without any passen-
gers. Many of the trips we're made
without single person riding, while
at other times one and two passengers
were handled, but never as many as
three were seen during the afternoon
on one car in the business section.
The strikers will endeavor to have the
injunction dissolved in the United
States court.

 | Francis Murphy, Temperance Worker. We are apt to get dictatorial when
 we save people. It isn't right. It Is well to be humble. l know of nothing that can save you but mercy. Just re- member that. and remember that am not finding fault with any other meth cd of saving men. but officers can not reach the appetite. The legislature can not control mans appetite. While it is well to undertake to do certain things by acts of legislature. there are things that the legislature can not do, and it's no use to try. The | law does not save a man. If Moses could have saved by law he would have been the Christ, and there would have been no need for another Saviour. | Now. remember that Christ never went after q man with the city marshal, but with the grace of God.
