COUNTY ROADSYSTEM
GREAT PLANS CONCERNED FOR
 EsCAMBIA.
Special Bond Issue VIII Be Necessary. Young Bradley Held In Mobile. Fountain VIII Be
 Erected.

Pensacola, Fla, July 22--(Special.)-- Preliminary plans were perfected and a proposed route for the many hard roads in the county to be built by the Board of County Commissioners with money derived from a bond issue of $20o.0 .000 at Joint meeting this morn- ing of the County Commissioners and Chamber of Commerce Committee.
 It is the desire of .he city to have perfect system of roads not only through this county, but also con- meeting with Baldwin County, Ala, on the west side and Santa Rosa coun- ty, Fla, on the east side, thus ob- taining the trade of both these coun- ties, as well as developing the counA try. To do this three immense bridges, as we'll as a good road system, is nec- essary, one bridge to span Perdido River, dividing Florida and Alabama, another crossing Bayo Chico and still another spanning Escamiba River
 With these bridges and with seven ty-one miles of new roadway. the county farmers. as we'll as those in the two adjoinig counties can market their products to advantage. To do this. however, will entail the expenditure of a vast sum of money. and the only means by which 1t can be raised is by a special bond issue. While nothing definite regarding the bond issue was
 
 the two committees has been called for next Tuesday. when the matter will assume a more definite shape. and 1t is probable that in the very near fu- ture special election will be called.
 Chief in a QuandaFy.
 The Pensacola Chief of Police is in a duandary as how to obtain posses sion of Harry Bradley, young white man of good family, whom he wants on a charge of forging a check, for while the young man was arrested up- on the request of this official, the Mo- bile police officials have decided to first try him upon a charge of grand larceny, which it is alleged he commit ted since skipping Pensacola
 Bradley, so the charge reads against him here. forged the name of a West Hill grocer by whom he was employed, to a check for $20. and with this he left Pensacola to so to Mobile. There he committed Q theft. but 1t was not until the chief of police here had re- quested hts arrest that the Mobile offi- cers found that he was the man who had committed the theft.
 According to a letter received today from Mobile. the officials of that city propose first trying Bradley for the local offense before turning him over to the Pensacola authorities, and if he is convicted they may wait for many months before getting their prisoner.
 Founfain fer Plasa.
 The commissioners of what Is known as the Plaza, Pensacola's chief park, today placed an order for. a handsome fountain which is to adorn the north side of the park. and which will cost not including the basin. $500. The fountain is known as an electrical nk aa~A a spectacle, the lights showing through the flow of water.
 It is expected that the fountain. which was ordered from q New York firm. will reach here within thirty days.

Nothing could be more appropriate
than the journey to the subsidy con

guaranteed the payment. Hence the
necessity for reserve fund large
enough to meet such a guarantee,
when everyone is calling for money
Without here considering the Constr
tutional objection to Mr.. Bryan's pian'
or the injury 1t would do state banks
1t would undoubtedly make the Ma
tionaI Banks perpetual and that has
not been the Democratic policy, when
has over been to divorce the govern
ment from the Money Power. Mr.
Bryan's plan would make to the
United States Treasury partner OF all
the National Banks, without partici-
pating il their profits. The indifier-
ence Of the Republican majority OF
Congress to the financial distresses,
which has been shown by the long hol
iday adjournment, when quick legis
lative action was necessary, will with
out doubt help to break down the hold
the Republican patty has held for the
past ten years. The fact is the Repub
lican politicians are panic stricken and
afraid to act. The farmers who ca n
not get cash for wheat and cotton, and
can find no market for live stock, will
be likely to ask some hard questions
of their representatives.

The heads Of the International
Unions com posing the allied printing
trades of America at their late meeting
|at indianapolis are reported to have
agreed unanimously to act with the
Newspaper Publishers Association in
an effort to abolish the tariff duty on
wood pulp and white paper As the
members of the typographical and AL
lied Unions are usually active pollti-
clans la their respective localities, they
can do much to elect n Congress which
will consider tariff reform. But such
well posted citizens must know That 1t
is very iinproble that, even latter cleo
tion," if the Republicans control Com
gress, any real effort for tariff reform
Will not DO attempted as long ss the
present "hog combine holds power.
Nor is the Republican majority OF the
Senate controlled rs il Is by Aldrich
and other areent protectionist at all
likely to report favorably any bill that
will com pei the paper combine, or any
other trust to reduce tie price OF IT'S
products by abollshing the protection
it enjoys through the tariff law and
thus foster competition.
1t is useless for any one to shut his
eyes to the fact that to reform the tar

quire long campaign probably eA'
tending, at least, to years after the
coming national election, to produce
results. The Democrats will welcome

crafts who are Republicans 30 ala ia

pledged to specific tariff upon wood
pulp and white paper, not only The
abolition of the tarlff', but a radical
revision of the tariff schedules OIL all

Those VINO join in such crusade foi
reform must not forget mat The HOUSE
of Representatives is only one third OF
the law making power, and that the
election of State repre- sentatlyes aud

Senator'S, and the President who sig-s
or can veto bills, is just as necessary
as the lower House of Congress where
all revenue bills must originate. II

great intent in the ovement
Go where you will you will find 9th
er reasons than the great neral ques-
ton behind the movement. Each sec

Virginia has her own reasons. The

in West Virginia if enforced would
avoid all the evils (which are traced TO
the traffic. 1t is unlawful to aall to q
minor, to woman, to any man who
is adrunkard or to sell on Sundays,
Now if all these evils were avoided
what objection would there be to the

disregard for the law ON the part OF
some men in the business that is pull

There are men in the business in

seems to much revive and resolved to
try to return home with as. SO after
being pleasantly entertained for the
rest of the night both by way Of lodg-
ing and eating, we phoned her doctor
in early next morning and with his
consent and instructions we made the
necessary arrangements to start on
our return trip at 1870 and by the aid
of several pleasant and accomplished
nurses we got her to the cab just in
time to arrive at the depot as the train
was called and succeeded in making
her comfortable in very fine pull
man car through to Martinsburg, but
by the influence of some kind friends
we succeeded IN getting the train TO
stop at Cherry Run for her to get or
at her sisters and rest until she felt
better able to come home. Several
times in my past life have gone over
the same route, but never had two
such good chances to view the grand
scenery. ssThe snow capped clefts and

The usual New Year functions oc-

Presidents reception, as Congress does
not convene until Monday the 9Th. A
considerable undercurrent of excite

circles Oh account Ct the uncertainty OF
the political future. Nearly all the
office holders who holo positions above
clerkships are economizing, as they
fully expect that after March A 1909,
they will be superseded by other
patriots, neither Democrats, or of the
Republican faction opposed to the
Roosevelt administration.
There is, therefore, great uarest in
official Washington which is made
more acute by the unfortunate tinan-
cal conditions into which the country
has fallen, and the practical bankrupt
