lis have the names. Induce the hotel

1t seems TO me that there Is money
enough here in the hands Of a few
men OF large landed interests 10 build
half a dozen hotels as fine as Mr. Her
vey wants to have built in order that
he might lease it.
Are the men Who are going to make
hundreds of thousands if the hotel IS
BUILT and their properties added in
value putting money into the stock.
or are they going to let the little peo-
pie financially build the hotel?
If men with money don't think the
hotel a good thing both for them and
the town, why not? Let's know who
they are and why they don't think the
Way they ought to.
Above all, let's have the names OF
the men who are helping the city by
taking stock in the hotel, and the
names OF those who are able TO do
it but lack the public pride, even ii
there was not any money advantage,

SPEAKS FOR Mr.. LAMAR

Century. Fla, April 1, 1908.
Editor Pensacola Journal
1 sincerely thank you for space in
your "Vox Popuu;' column.
My plea for a Square Political
with democratic customs. 1t is
tacitly understood in Florida politics,
that it is conducive to party har-
mOny to equitably bestow political
honors upon citizens from different
sections of the state and not upon
citizens of only one specific section.
To quietly acquiesce in a violation
of democratic customs, would be
equivalent to confirmation that
West Florida contained no man equal
to the occasion, and would show III
difference to our political rights.
II is not a question OF the citiz n ;
liberty, or the candidates individual
rights, or the eminent fitness CT the
aspirant, ''but the Infringement upon
West FlOrida's political domain, in
the present senatorial contest" The
selection of a man lat the present
time from West Florida" for sena-

SOME STRONG VIEWS ON DIS
TRIBUTION OF SCHOOL MONEY.

Pensacola, Fla, April ., 1908.
Editor Pensacola Journal.
As the political pot has begun to
boil, II Is of vast importance to the
public for those seeking political
preferment, 10 promulgate well de-
fined platform or set of principles
upon which they stand and ask for
public support; this is especially
true of those who, are seeking the
law-ma1ling body. How do you stand
upon taxation, public roads, and
schools? Public money Should only
be used for public purpose, without
any discriminating features as to
class, location or conditions Our
educational system is one of the
most important institutions and
should be administered without fear
or favor; all schools, city, town or
rural, should fare alike without any
conditions as to number, location or
grade. No man should be sent to
the legislature who woTN tolerate
CUR present One-sided, unholy discrim-
mating laws and this holds good as
to the members Of our state board of
public instruction, who have to do
with the shaping of legislation upon
this question by recommendations
through the governor. as we'll as our
county superintendent, and boards of
public instruction, who administer
the school funds and make rules
governing county schools.
We need a liberal school law, that
will give the rural districts the same
treatment that it does the more
favored communities. ANY law that
takes public funds, raised by
public taxation and uses them upon
favored communities in discrimina-
ton against the weak and isolated
communities is public robbery, I'M
polite and against public policy and
should not exist.
This educational question is one
of vast Importance; one upon which
the prosperity and development of
our country depends The prosper
ity of our cities and towns are meas
Ured by the prosperity and inteIli-
gence of the rural districts.
This narrow. one-sided, niggardly
and discriminating policy, doubtless
is not approved by a large majority
of our citizens who are favored by
this policy. Every child born under
the stars and stripes has, by reason
of such birth, inherited a good edu-
cation and I am for officers who will
give all a fair deal.
Respectfully.

The New Departure
of Mr.. Pharr.

Over in Louisiana they are making
a staIwart effort to build up a repub-
lican party that will amount to some
thing beyond the distribution Of fed
eral patronage. TO that end Mr..
Pharr, the republican candidate for
governor, says that he will oppose
any attempt to nominate negro dele
gates from Louisiana to the national
republican convention.
The South really needs two strong
parties, so nearly equal in strength
that each would have to nominate its
very best to win out in the elections.
The democrats can do nothing to help
to this end. The burden is upon the
republicans, and they must undo the
mistakes of their party made during
that carnival of radical hate known
as reconstruction days" when the
negro was invested with suffrage, be-
fore we can have two parties in the
South nearly matched. Meanwhile
we welcome the good intentions of
Candidate Pharr, of Louisiana, but
until he can make some very drastic
and revolutionary changes in the
policies OF his own party. both state
and national, We are not hopeful of
results.
Here in Florida and in every other
Southern state many of our best citi-
zens standing deserVedly high in
business, professional and social re-
lations. are republicans from honest
conviction, but they are hopelessly
handicapped by peculiar political CON
ditions in the South in every issue

If it We're put to vote of the demo

would carry the state by an over

so. Sometimes facts are in the air,

every democratic delegate from this

be a Bryan man, and ayow himself as

the people may know whether they
are sending a Bryan or an anti-Bryan

Jeffries Davis, United States sena-
tor from Arkansas, has been fined $50
and costs for his participation in a
street brawl in Little Rock in which
he is reported to have gotten the
worst of it and to have been put TO
flight. Davis doubtless has his merits,
and perhaps his dement's have been
exaggerated by the press, but for all
that he seems to be an uncouth, vul-
gar swashbuckler utterly unfit to rep
resent his state in the United States
senate. His presence there does no
good TO Arkansas, the South or the
democratic party, and some OF these
days when better suffrage conditions
prevail it will be impossible for such
a character to get into high official
stations. Davis is in the senate de-
spite the vote of the Overwhelming
preponderance Of the educated intel
ligence of Arkansas. Enlarged school
facilities will make his kind impossi-

THE SAFE AND SOUND SYSTEM

Dear Jeffersonian: Suppose l would en-
gage 10000 bushels Of wheat and then get
congress to destroy a great part Of the wheat
of the country in order to raise the price of
the wheat due me, would that be a sound,
honest system, and would be a respectable
gentleman, or a scoundrel? The plutocrats
have often got the government to engage to
them hundreds Of millions of dollars, and took
government bonds for the same, then, through
procured legislation, destroyed many millions
Of dollars in order to increase the value of the
dollars owed to them. What better are thew
and their tools than anarchists, and yet whom
do we elect to our best Offices, and whom do
we uphold as our most honored most respect
able citizens?
