Pensacola Strike.

Pensacola is undergoing all the
trouble, cost, and disgrace of q street
car strike. The causes leading up to
the same appear to outsiders childish
in the extreme, and unworthy OF in
telligent men. Through youth, or in
experience in such matters, upon the
breaking out of hostilities the Mayor.
through the press, announced what
he was going to do to one party to
the conflict, the Street Railway Com
pany, which was enough to incitc
and encourage the other party to re-
ncwed attacks. Too late he woke to
the danger of throwing oil upon
flames, and done the wise thing by
securing the presence of troops.
Unfortunately for the peace of the
city this outbreak occurs just before
the primaries, before which all the
peace officers of the city and county
are up for reelection. Their position
renders them Il prey to the mob, as
lAtN NOiN HOA NilibINO lilt lStN. ItCi-
ing loss of votes. Strikers, headed
by one of their national officers. were
permitted to join the crowds harrass-
ing the men brought in by the street
car company to take the places Of the
old employees, under the preteXt that
they would strive to control the
mob.
\ regiment OF state troops was
rushed to the city TO preserve order.
Late reports from Pensacola state
that everything is quiet, and efforts
will be made under the protection of
the troops to run trains. 1t is also
stated that Gov Broward has prom
iscd that if the STRIKERS are sworn in
as deputies he will have the troops
withdrawn. II hardly seems possible
that the Governor has made any such
fool proposition. Placing the lambs
under the charge ofthe wolves is not
proposition that tends to safety or
an equitable settlement of the
trouble.

TODAY.

Besides memorializinga great national
epoch proper Fourth-of-July observances
are tributes to the lives work and ac-
complishments of probably the three
greatest Americans.
George Mason wrote the first Bill of
Rights.
Thomas Jefferson framed the Decla-
ration of Independence, and
James Madison, more than any other
man or men, constructed the Constitu-
ton.
The Bill of Rights is masterful pro-
test against hereditary rule.
The Declaration of Independence is
without coordinate in the statement
of human rights, yet in no other paper
is the English language so imperially
illustrated as the mother tongue of "a
people who are and of right ought to be
free"
The Constitution has been amended
and amended, but whether correspond
ingly improved is open to serious ques-
ton.
At any rate, to-day each should be
memorialized to the honor of its author
"a man set in each instance by Provi-
dence accomplish a work imperishable
i'll human annals.

1.-TWO Democratic CoIonels ,

The Baltimore 1mPricnn reporter,
canvassing the hotels for news Thurs
day of last week, found 1.-TWO Demo-
cratic Colonels," one Of whom is we'll
known here, but in his own words
There are not two closer friends in
America than Col. John T. McGraw, of
Grafton, w; Va, and Col John Heating, of
Cumberland, Md, who sat III the Belvedere
lobby putting fragrant Havanas and dis
coursing on current politics. These
ColOnels who eXemplify in their relations
the historic regard of Damon and Pythias,
are both irOn-Clad Democrats In their
hearts they do not approve much that their
party stands for, but they do not speak dis
couraging thingS-at least not for publication
Colonel McGraw, who is going as dele
gate to the Denver convention, and who is
chairman of the subcommittee on arrange
mentS besides being member of the Ma
tlOnal Committee, was urging his friend to
go along with him and other West Nir-
ginians in a private car to that interesting
scene.
NO" said Colonel Heating" business
won't let me, but he added in a resigned
sort of way, as though he could tell what
was going to happen, II am Democrat.
Whatever they do | am going to stand by
the ticket"
Col. McGraw went on at some length
stating the situation is not hopeless
how even an event like nominating Ed
win Wartield for Vice President would
be an attractive card.

\ Public Duty.

At least one Thoughtful gentleman be-
lieves that it is the immediate, impera
tive duty of the Mayor and Council to
tear down the "Main-St." misnomers
and put up tnion-St signs. He goes so
far as to say that sit would be better to
have no signs at all than to have ones
that tell lie"
Continuing, he says some day there
will be legal miX-ups Of title occasioned
by cOnveyances of property on Union
street, when the town posts the fact
that there is no Union street.
Another gentleman says 1.-The Mayor
and Council ought to go to Keyser, w.
Va, and get some pointers about the ad-
vantages of paved streets and the way
to go about paving them" Which i'm
plies that the town authorities don t
know how and, what is worse, don t
want to make any effort to learn.
Anyway, that "Main-St." sign bust
ness, ought to be corrected. Nobody
has any right to menace any property
title with the slightest question affect
ing its identity.
There is more to show that it is Dur
ham Bullyvard than main ST."

Words.

Some good contributor to the Iona
coming star advocates "kind words
and disapproves "wrathful." bitter.
"cold'' and ''angry words" He says
Bitter words embitter all whom they are
addressed to.
This is not surprising when one re.
members that like produces like" but
the JOURNAL never "liked' close repeti
tons of even similar words
Another sentence COrrectS by example
an error of grammatical construction:
Kind words reproduce their own kindly
individuality upon mems souls to whom
they are addressed.
"Kind'' and "kindly" (?) and then
who are specifically addressed men
or their "souls?' If one, why the
other?
Cold words freeze and repel, while hot
words scorch and blast the heart
1t is question, after one has been
"frozen" by "cold word" whether
there is enough left of him to "repel. y
And is it not the wind rather than heat
that "blasts?" Hence, Shakespeare
speaks of a "blasted heath" but who
ever before heard of "blasted heart q
The JOURNAL does not criticize cap
tiously, but cites these instances for the
benefit of teachers, especially of pupil.
VINO contemplate lives of literary work
Someone has written-"kind words
can never die, an assurance which fur
nishes preteXt for the dict,tm that "di
versity in grammatical unity" should be
equally immortal

Good for a School-Boy.

l.. l.. Hammond, student at Char
lotte Hall, writing upon "Citizenship
and Suffrage" in the Sentinel, defines
the office of the latter as follows
Suffrage is not natural right, as is sup
posed by great number of people, but a
right conferred by the State under such
limitations as our welfare demands. In its
very character and constitution it is right
or privilege growing out of society end its
conditions and limitations are properly fixed
by society.
An unimpeachable truth well stated.
The politician, however, whose highest
conception of governmental attainment
is party success, does not subscribe to
this view.
To him the right of the ignorant,
thrlftless and corrupt to give voice to
popular sentiment and force to repre-
sentative government is Unborn and
inalienable.
And as he takes more interest in
politics than the generally good citizen
does in government, his conception too
often prevails.

If you re "A real-born American,
And your colors red, white and blue

That brings holidays. fun and play
And, of course. you march with the soldiers

And you can't help liking THANKSGIVING

And don't you have lots of fun, dear boys,
On nice St Valentines Day?
And then there is Washngton's Birthday

Followed early by St. Patrick Day
And next by funny April Fool.
