JUST A MAN.


No task was eer too hard for him
To gladly undertake.;
He had a smile for every whin,
laugh for every ache.
No matter what the day might bring
OF sorrow and defeat,
A little song he learned to sing
Made living doubly sweet.
Each morn he rose up with the lark
And equally as gay,
And cheered himself with this remark,
"Pll win the fight today"
And so they sped, the fieeting years,
For better or for worse,
Nor ever found him lost in tears,
Nor hopeless in reverse.
7sThe SHOWS of winter settled down
Upon his Bonded head
And still denied fair plenty's crown,
He labored for his bread.
And while It's true he played in life
A poor and lowly part.
He kept through all it's pain and strife
The sunshine in his heart.

And still he wonders whether
He ought to wear a smile,
Or growl about the weather.

His thoughts are far from dreamy;

hopping his brow,
He wishes he could do it.

Washington's Race Trouble

American people race-prejIdice broke
down and amalgamation proceeded
through social equality. Oily very
recently an octoroon family of con-
siderable means moved into a white

standing. And we waited to see what
would happen. There was some gos-
sip and then silence came As have
shown, in a quieter way this moving
across the line is proceeding with
far more rapidity than some people

that race-hybridization, the Anglo

produce in America a fine, tawly

Pensacola's
Dust Problem.

Something must be done TO abate
the dnst nuisance in Pensacola. For
the sake of the public health and in
the interest of the business COM
munity some steps must be taken TO
improve present condition. in this
regard, and whatever remedial meas
ures are proposed should be adopted
as quickly as possible There mas
been too msch delay already in de-
viSing ways and means to improve
our streets.
No one Will deny that dust, even at
best, and when from paved streets,
is conducive to the spread of disease.
Especially, then, is Pensacola liable
to suffer, when il is considered that
our streets are but little more than
sand, are unpaved and are used for
traffic of various kinds, with 10 OPP
portnnity for even such degree of
cleanliness as would be practicable in
cities with moderately nard surfaced
though unpaved streets.
Nor can there be any doubt as to
the damage to business entailed by
the clouds of dust and fine sand con
stantly filling the air during periods
of dry weather. The value of entire
stocks OF goods may be deterioratea
in a short time, and counter displays
are beyond doubt greatly damaged.
One may not today ride upon a
street car in any part of the city with
comfort. ncr without inhaling clouds
of dust laden with countless disease
germs. This is especially true of
railroad street, so-calles, which is real
ly no more than downtown freight
yard for the Louisville & Nashville
railroad. and of Palafox, from Main
street 10 the bay and from Garden
street TO North HILL Tne same con-
dition applies also to the streets run
ming east and west outside the imme.
diate downtown district
Nor is the damage confined TO
health and business. The residence
districts are equally sufferers from
the dust plague.
Something can be- done. The dust
problem has been solved in other
cities. Some of them use water
sprinklers others sprinkle the streets
with oil and yet others nave traction
sprinklers on the street car lines, but
all do SOMETHING.
Pensacola has done NOTHING,
Why is not clear. The city mas taken
SOME forward steps in other direct
ions. why not in this?
Let us get busy. gentlemen of the
:ity government. and put an end to
he dust nuisance!

!. a WORD IN REPLY.

The Tribune had a characteristic out
burst on Friday against the News.
and It's trouble mas continued ever since.
We stated, In substance. the day pre-
syious that the infamous stockade pro-
position was first officially recognized
by a gso-called American police Chief;
that there was no American" protest
until later when 1t became apparent.
that public sentiment was against It;
and that the Mayor undoubtedly had
reason to believe that the removal OF
prevail of the party leaders. All this
the Tribune denies i'll its choicest
vocabulary. But 1t is true for all that.
and the fact that the organ Kisses
and spits only confirms the truth. the
plain statement of which causes it to
fly into a rage. The organ maintains
that Immediately on the publica-
ton Of Chief Pitts message to the
council it registered its condemnation
of his stockade plan.
1t is true that the Tribune on the
END OF January. this year, comment
ed on that report and its infamous
recommendation. but 1t is also true
and this our irrascible contemporary
neglected to state the other day--that
its adverse cricticism was confined
entirely to the municipal ownership
idea of the chief. 1t had no word of
condemnation for the stockade plan
itself. The protest against that came,
as we said. later when 1t became evil
dent that the voters revolted. Further
more, the Tribune tried to shield the
american Chief by it's usual infam-
Gus methods, and laid the responsible
ity for the report upon Captain Bur-
bidge. Here Is what the sheet said,
and we quote, that the readers may
Judge for themselves:
THE Salt Lake public read yester-
| day morning With a gasp of amaze
ment the extraordinary recommends
| ton made by Captain Burbidge,
control of vice and disorder in this
| city. The Indecent proposition for Salt
! Lake City, as Il corporation, to en-
| gage in the keeping of bawdy houses,
| building and providing the same for
| the occupation of the fallen women,
| was recommendation so absolutely
grotesque and impossible as to be as
| founding in its hardihood and lack of
| common decency and moral perception,
to say nothing of common sense. Aside
! from the lack OF recognition of fitness,
and of community obligation toward
| decent moral sentiment, the fact that
| any such proposition is absolutely IL
/ legal beyond the power OF the city to
I undertake or enforce, should have
| stopped a public official from making
