PENSACOLA, FLORIDA, THURSI
THIS IS THE LAND OF BOOST
AND PENSACOLA IS IT'S CAPITAL
Although the railroads are ordering
no end of new rolling stock we trust
they will do business on the square
The agony is over: Alabama's leg
islature has adjourned and all parties
are looking about to find out where
they are at"
1t was all Dixie" at Seattle Tues
day and Governor GiIchrist may in
deed be proud that he was chosen to
be orator of the day.
Diplomacy still holds Turkey and
Greece together in amity and let Us
hope their agreement will continue
until after Thanksgiving Day.
They say MeadvilIe, Mississippi is
quiet, but with bands of armed New
mans and Pritchards on its streets
its people must feel very much as
though they were dwelling on top of
a volcano.
The Swedish strikers are fulfilling
the reputation Of that people for ex-
traordinary patience and power of
endurance. Another Charles XII
might yet make the nation a world
power.
Interest in the tri-connty fair has
spread to every corner of Baldwin,
Escambia and Santa Rosa, and a
strong competitive spirit among the
people will result in the handsomest
kinds of exhibits.
An exchange charges that the pro-
hibition legislature of Alabama is
driving her people to drink. Florida
has other neighbors that seem in like
dangerous cOnditiOn-Times- Union.
Why, we thought those "neighbors"
were being driven" to Jacksonville.

Well, isn't that to drink?
Just what satisfaction the people
of Monroe, La. derived from burning
the body Of the negro desperate who
shot UP the town it is difficult to i'm
agine, for they are supposed to be n
civilized community. The insensate
exhibition was given despite the pro-
test OF the mayor, who was himself
one OF the negrO's victims yet wished
to save the city from the reproach OF
SO barbarous a ceremony.
Why a ship subsidy? Why not
free ships? Why not a great reduc-
ton of the import duties on mate
rails entering into ship building? Are
the American people to be further
robbed in order to bolster up a bust

suit naturally were the country re-
lieved of the republican tariff abomi-
nation? These people will probably
have much to say on the subject in
the election of 1910.
If our state and federal govern
ments wish to learn all about pater-
nalism and its effects let them study
the history of the ancient Peruvians
Rnder the Incas when the system was !
followed out with the utmost at !
tention to detail. And Pizarro put |
them down as savages. Why? Be-
cause. to all intents and purposes, !
they were slaves-victims of auto /
cratic intolerance and power.
Realizing that the regulation of
congressman, diplomats, lobbyists and |
The like who infest the nations cap

commissioners who control the des-
TIMES of the District of Columbia |
have turned the phials OF their wrath |
upon the newsbOys who must no |
longer sell papers after eight o'clock |
p. m. What noble reformers! By the |
way, who happens to have a copy of |
the report of that Washington back |
alley investigating committee which |
was so simply awful that it brought |
the blush of shame to the faces of the |
national legislators, many of whom |
doubtless fed from the capitol rath- !
er than listen to its indecencies4 |
forsooth! Haven't the |
started to reform the |
city at the wrong end?
