ports OF cotton cloths to China aver
aged in the fiscal years 1905 and 1906.
l86, 000, 900 yards per annum; in 1907
and 1908 they averaged but 6S,O0o,000
per annum, or one-seventh as much as
the average of 1905-1e0s.
This large falling or" says the bu-
reau in an Official statement was due
chiefly at least to the fact that the i'm
ports OF that country in 1905 and 1905
were abnprmally large and far in ex-
cess Of the actual consuming power OF
that market at Wholesale especially
of North China. whose financial condi-
ton had been so affected by events
during the war as to reduce its pur-
chasing power below the estimates up
on which the large importations had
been based"
The increase In the current fiscal
year, 1909, is in turn the natural re-
suit Of the absorption in that country
of the accumulated stocks and a re-
turn to normal demands upon the Sec
lions of the world from which China
has been accustomed to draw it's sup
plies Of foreign made cotton cloths
Cotton goods exported to China aggre-
gated 16,7S6,34S yards as against t.

Okra Paper Company
Has Been Organized.

The Journal regrets to see Florida
capitalists slumber and not take ad-
vantage of golden opportunities which
are greedily seized by those of other
states. From literature which has
reached us and from which we have
quoted from time to time the manu-
facture of paper from the okra plant
has been proven by careful expert
ment to be commercially profitable.
The last number of the ManUfac-
turers' Record, of Baltimore, contain
ed the following:
The Okra Products Co, 46S Walnut
street, Macon, Ga, has been organ
lied by ]. F. Chittenden, John T.
Moore. T. n. Baker and w. d. Lamar.
MessTs. Moore, Lamar and Baker are
planting a large acreage of ol1ra. and
plan the construction of a mill to
manufacture paper and other pro-
ducts from the plant.
If this industry can be carried on
profitably in Georgia there is certain
y promise that it would pay even
better in Florida. The whole matter
is worth careful investigation. The
first in the field Will reap the richest
harvest.

PENSACOLA FLORIDA, SUNDAY MORNING, MAY g. 1909

leads, viz: If it is proper for a news
paper to have a pass, it is equally
proper for anyone else to have one
if he can get it.
That being the case, then what is
the object of any antf-pass legislation
at all?
The flaw in the Brooksville papers
argument lies in the, fact, as The
Journal has repeatedly pointed out,
that a railroad is not a private in6ti-
tuition. 1t has, and necessarily, privi-
Ieges that nc private individual or
private business enjoys. 1t is grant
ed these privileges because Of its
public nature, because it performs a
public function, and in doing so we
have a right to expect that it shall
not discriminate either for or against
any part of member of the public.
1t IS therefore somebody else's
business" when any particular per-
son or persons enjoy the distinct
privilege of riding on railroad passes,
secured by private, even though
satisfactory arrangements" with the
railroads.
There is no halfway ground on this
railroad pass question. The pass is
either a good thing or bad thing.
It is either right or wrong. If good,
there should be no restrictions against
it whatever; if bad, there should be no
exceptions permitting certain people
to use it and prohibiting others from
doing so.
We are looking to the legislature
to make the law so rigid that not even
our esteemed friend from BTooksville
can find any loophole through which
the railroad can issue his pass.

The Railroad Pass Users

Our old friend of the Brooksville
Argus is fighting mighty hard for his

bill which will enable newspapers to
secure these greatly coveted pieces Of

Journals position in opposition to the
newspaper pass he is careful to pub

Unprecedented Power
Given the President.

Very little has been said or written
with regard to most dangerous pro-
vision in the senate bill which deals
with the question of a maximum and
minimum tariff. 1t is dangerous, be-
cause it places unprecedented power
in hands where it does not belong I'M
der the American plan Of government,
and vests in the executive the right
on his own initiative to appoint high
paid officials to act as his advisers.
1t is proposed to leave to the pres
ident the enforcement or nom enforce
ment of the maximum schedule and
TO allow him to select his own ad-
visers, or agents, to assist him in
reaching a conclusion in specific
cases This is an autocratic power,
and isrepugnant to our theory Of gov
eminent. The democrats should fight
the measure tooth and nail; for ex-
treme publicity would arouse such
strong adverse criticism that it is
doubtful if Aldrich and his band of
blind followers would dare to carry
out their purpose.
1t is the duty of congress, and of
congress alone, to fix the tariff sched-
ules and to pass proper laws for their
enforcement. It is altogether un7
necessary to appoint a car to regu-
late them. The trouble is that the
republicans are so utterly given over
to compromise, chicanery, double
dealing and all manner of subtileties
that they are unable to take a posi-
tive stand about anything, but must
forever figure out some loophole for
escape from every predicament.

Preparation For War
A Menace of War.

At the last business session Of the
Peace Convention in Chicago, pTesid-
ed over by Judge Joseph B. Moore, OF
the supreme court of Michigan, Alfred
II. Love, president of the Universal
Peace Union, said, among other wise
things, the following:
Compulsory peace is an incubator
of war; preparation for war is
menace of war; broken treaties of
peace are peace breakers. 1t is a
lamentable page in our history, this
showing to the world the gigantic de-
structive DTeadnOughts, our boosted
Instruments of death, causing other
countries TO initiate this cOwardly,
selfish and unneighbOTly nationality
that can say on its coin, In God We
trust and then in its intercourse
with others repudiate the psalmist
when he says, The Lord is Our
Refuge and Our Strength"
President Loves language is moth
ing if not forcefuI. And is it not as
logical as it is strong? Is it not true
that the fear of a danger will provoke
it? Do not physicians declare that
during an epidemic of some dread
disease more men die victims to
terror than from the disease itself?
No one can deny that il is absuTdly
contradictory to cry peace, peace"
and then deliberately to spend mil
lions in preparation for war. If the
building of navies and raising of
armies were a preventative of strife
one would think there should have
been universal peace long, long ago;
for that sort of thing has been the
chief occupation of the sO-called
strong governments of the world
historical times and prob
ably dominated the minds of simian
potentates ere yet the light of civil
ization began to dawn and man step
ped out of the cloud to be the SOW
ereign of the world.
There is food for thought in what
President Love has declared: Com {
Dulsory peace is an incubator of war; |
for war is Il menace of
war" The past has proven it. Would /
It not be we'll to give some other |
plan trial? /
