An interesting contest case was heard
before Receiver Mcclure and Register
Ferris in the Dickinson us. land Office
Wednesday, with Martin Eskestrand 3of
Richardton, contestant, and Miss Cora
Simpson, contestee. From the testimony
ittappears that Miss Simpson filed on the
sex 13o-o7 in May, 1905, and established
her residence il. November of the same
year. In January, 'o6, she wa disappointed
deputy state bank examiner, continuing
in this Office until March, ~. Miss
Simpson submitted proof on June 2s,
1907, and on the same day a contest was
instituted BY Mi. Eskestrand. The con-
testant produced evidence which seemed
to show that the proper requirements Of
a homesteader had not been carried out
in this case, while the contestee contends
that, byvirtue Of her Office, she was not
required to maintain continuous resi-
dence. The quarter section in question

The Northern Press
And the Race Question

Northern papers are beginning to
discuss the race question with con-
siderable more fairness thou they
have heretofore done. An indication
of this change of both viewpoint and
temperament Is contained in the fol-
lowing from the Syracuse, N. Y,
Herald:
The southern press, in its COM
ments upon the murderous rioting in
Springfield, Is using the "tu quocue"
argument with great effect, though
with good taste and judgment, on the
whole. The Atlanta Constitution
points out that Human passion, in
varying degrees susceptible to erupt-
ing forces, may be found anywhere
between the poles" The Galveston
News grimly asks, What viii the
north suggest for a remedy?"
One effect of the Springfield horror
will be 10 inculcate in the northern
mind better appreciation of the
race problem in the southern states
and also increased admiration of the
splendid self-restraint and humanity
the enlightened people of the south
have, as a rule, displayed in their
efforts to deal with it. When we see
thousands of the citizens of a north
ern community transformed into
savages by hatred for comparative
handful of blacks residing wlIniu its
limits. the time has surely come for
northern critics to abandon their
holier-than-thou attitude with regard
10 southern outrages aimed at the
negro. The events OF Friday and
Saturday in the capital of Illinois
should serve to remind US that the
race problem is really national, and
not sectional, and that it is the duty
of the north to assist in its solution.
instead Of denoUncing the south for
emphasizing its gravity.
When the north begins to really
realize this. viz: that the race oues-
ton is a national, not a sectional Is
sue, 1t will be possible to deal with
the problem to more satisfactory
effect

Compel Owners to
Muzzle Their Dogs.

The fiscal year in the city govern
ment's calendar ends September 80,
and on October 1, the collection of all
license monies for the ensuing year
begins.
City licenses are regulated by or
dinance, both as to the amount and
the privileges accompanying the
granting of the licenses. II a license
is issued under the existing ordinance,
then that license continues IN effect
for one year. Therefore any change
that may be deemed advisable in the
regulation of city privileges should
be made by the city council prior to
October 1, when the new licenses are
to be issued.
Under the present law licensing the
keeping of dogs within the city limits,
a fee is charged but beyond compelling
that each dog so licensed must carry
a tag, there is no regulation "A dog so
gatged may run at large at will. The
license fee has been paid and it is at
liberty to go where it will, subject
only to its owners control
The Journal has recounted during
this summer of one or two instances
of dogs biting and injuring citizens,
and has called attention to the fact
that dogs running at large should be
muzzled- However, the law granting
the privilege of keeping dogs within
the city does not specify that the
animals must be muzzled-
Now is the time to correct the de-
ficiency in this ordinance With a law
licensing dogs without the use of
muzzles, owners could not well be
forced to put these protectors upon
their animals, but now that the city
realizes the necessity of muzzling all
CANNES, there is no reason why the
dog law should be lax In this respect
in the future.
Offer a substitute for the present
ordinance that will compel the owners
of dogs to keep them muzzIed waen
they run at large.

VOX POPULI
A WORD TO THE VOTERS
OF ESCAMBiA COUNTY

Pine Barren, Fla, Aug %, 1908.
Editor Pensacola Journal:
Please allow me space in the good
old Journal to say a word or two to
the voters of Escambia county.
There is a movement on foot to
elect a sheriff in the general election
other than the primary nominee. The
Office belongs to the people, and a
majority of the people can give the
Office to any one they desire
There seems to be almost a unani.
nous desire to remove Mr. Van Pelt
and If he is to be removed let US
make no mistake lin selecting an
other man. Don't let the desire to
remove Mr.. Van Pelt unbalance your
judgment in selecting his successor.
There are two men who have an
nounced their intention of running
independently against Mr.. Van Pelt
and if they are not desirable men
for the Office, why not hold q mass
meeting and select a more suitable
MANI / believe that the sheriff OF
Escambia county should be an indus
trious( sober, businesS-like man, cap
able of reading and properly en-
forcing the laws of Florida In JUS
tiee to Mr.. Van Pelt let me say that
if the voters of Escambia county de-
sire his resignation, believe he will
resign
A great many of the voters are say
ing unkind things about our present
sheriff. There is no good in that.
If you don't want him, fire" him,
and get a new man.
Personally, l have never supported
Mr. Van Pelt for any Office, and II
the democrats of this county will get
together and select a candidate for
sheriff, l will vote for that candidate
and contend that l have not lost my
place in democratic ranks.
Hoping TO hear of an organized
movement soon, / am,
A democrat,
w. J. ROBERTS.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1908-09-02

Men in Escambia county are sign
ing petitions Objecting to James C..
Van Pelt as democratic nominee for
sheriff on the ground that, under try
ing circumstances, he did his duty
In the above statement We do not
profess to give the wording of the pc
utions- but we express the truth with
absolute fairness. The objection to
Mr.. Van Pelt is that he defended a
In doing this he did his sworn duty:
therefore, the objection to Mr.. Van
Pelt is that he did his duty
At the time of the Shaw Iynching,
which Sheriff Van PeIt was unable
TO prevent, though he risked his life
in an effort to do so. the Tfmes-Uuion
while denouncing lynching and prais-
ing the sheriff for his devotion to
duty expressed less condemnation for
a people who would be driven even to
lavlessness and murder by such an
act as that which the prisoner has
perpetrated than for a people who
could know without resentment of
the preparation of such an act in the
community in which they lived. The
best people would be stirred BY such
an act to the highest pitch of fndig-
nation, but would restrain themselves
from violating the Law. The poorest
apology for manhood would be found
in the community that cared nothing
about it
But however, this may be, 1t was
Sheriff Van Pelt's duty TO defend his
prisoner. No sane man on earth will
deny this; and It follows that he de-
serves praise instead Of blame for de-
Tending his prisoner.
Any man can circulate a petition
and get numerous signatures to it
to any kind OF petition. We do not
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1908-09-02

believe the better class of people in
EScambia county or even the average
man in that county has signed or
will sign one of these petitions. BY
doing so they would write for their
county the deepest disgrace. We can
not conceive how any community
could bring on itself a greater shame
than by cOndemning q man for doing
his duty
We take it for granted that the DEM
ocratic executive committee of Es-
Gambia will not ask Mr.. Van Pelt 70
withdraw from the ticket We would
regret to see the democratic party
stand for lawlesSness anywhere and
would dOUbly regret to see it in Flo
r1da- But even if the committee
should ask Mr. Van Pelt to withdraw
he says ne will not and he is right
Would the committee resign If he
asked il to? He received his nomi-
nation from the same source from
which the committee received its exis-
tence and it has no more power to
take him from the ticket and put
another man in his place than he has
TO take the committee down and put
another in its place. This kind of thing
has been tried in Florida several times
and has resulted in the defeat of the
committees nominee every time. and
committees are composed of dull ma
terial it they have not yet learned
the Limitation of their powers.
Mr. Van Pelt is right in resolving
to make the race and. while We do not
profess intimate acquaintance with
public sentiment in Escambia. we be-
lieve he will be elected. 'ihe mob
does the loudest talking everywhere,
but the better class of people go to
the polls and vote
