WHAT OUR COUNTY

lovely oaks, magnolias and other
trees Of like kind, why is our fine
hard road totally without adornment?
AS We look down the long ribbon, run
ming into the distance which we real
lie is the county road, We wonder why
1t has so little shade when it might
be a most beautiful driveway from
one end to the other. Surely it would
be a fine testimony of our love for
the beautiful and artistic in nature
Every progressive citizen should take
pride in the public highways, be
they streets or roads, and If each
property owner could be induced to
plant some oaks or trim and protect
those already growing along the hard
road, we should soon have a highway
to be truly proud OF. We hope to
see this thought realized and we be-
lieve that the county would do well
to give it their attention. It. would be
a good investment for all who travel

Continue the War
Against the Flies.

Readers of The Journal, We trust
will not be surprised at the return of
this paper to the anti-housefiy battle
at this season. The reason is simple
Of explanation. There is no better
period of the year than the winter to
carry on a vigorous crusade against
the nasty and dangerous pests.
Last spring and summer measures
were adopted and used to a greater
or less extent for the determination Of
the balefuI insects whose presence In
any community is menace to health
"a sure precursor Of death. The or
dinance adopted by the city council
was, taken altogether, a fair COM
mencement of what should be a siren
uous public war waged without inter
mission. The ordinance, with a few
amendments, would be perfect, and if
strictly enforced would result in a
year or two in Kidding Pensacola of
the hateful insects.
The winter is the time above all
others when the breeding places of
flies may be best disinfected, when
stables. exposed closets and other To-
calities where the insects deposit their
eggs may be cleaned out with the
least offense to the public. It is the
time too, for every householder to
make preparations for the spring-to
clean up his premises, provide screens
and take such other precautions az
will abate the nuisance during the
warm season.
"a stitch in time saves nine" And,
so far as this fly suppression goes, a
little work done now, a few precau-
tions taken, will mean nine hundred
billion less flies in Pensacola next
year, and the certain saving of sew
eral good Pensacolians from a gaping
grave. The Journal sincerely hopes
its friendly admonition will be needed.
Nobody will dare to throw mud at
the members Of the Pensacola Yacht
and Motor Boat Club in their new
caps and suits during regatta day at
the fair. Who would have the heart

One Example of
.Up-To-Date Farming.

Firm the Chipley Verdict We have
clipped the following, because it tells
of the value of scientific knowledge
combined with good, practical sense
to the farmer:
The corn contest in which gold
prizes were offered by A. D. Camp
bell for the best yield on an acre OF
ground. has demonstrated that lnten-
sive farming pays, and that a good
living may be made on a few acres
planted, fortified and cultivated under
proper conditions. We have been in
formed of one farmer only a few
miles from Chipley who raised and
gathered Sc bushels of corn, II bushels
of cowpeas and ~ bushels Of peanuts,
from one acre of land this season. He
will also get about 1 1-2 tons of good
hay from the same ground. This is
farming OF a class worthy OF pattern
ing after.
The same result may be obtained
from at least seventy-five per cent of
the land throughout West Florida.
There is no excuse for any other re-
suit. The only cause for failure lies
either in ignorance or apathy. Let us
hope that the educational facilities
now so freely offered will overcome
the former and that the dark shadow
of the latter VIII be banished by the
new light which will come with a
proper understanding OF conditions
and opportunities.

When the legislature of 1907 re-
fused to make a re-apportionment as
commanded by the constitution, and
persisted in enacting laws with one
hundred and one members present
and participating in violation of the
constitution, The Herald expressed
the opinion that that legislature was
an unconstitutional body. and that,
therefore, all its acts were and are
unconstitutional. null and void. If
this view be correct, then it follows
that the legislature of 1909 was also
unconstitutional and its acts likewise
will not stand the test OF supreme
court scrutiny.
This question. We understand, is
shortly to be tested by the liquor
dealers Of the state, who, rather than
be mulcted for much money in next
years prohibition campaign, will make
no active fight against the proposed
prohibition amendment, but, if the
amendment is adopted, will resort to
the courts and attack its validity on
the ground that the legislature which
proposed it was an unconstitutional
assembly and, therefore, had no law
full authority to transact any legisla
tive business If the dealers should
adopt such a course, there is only one
would initiate against their success,
and that is the probability that the
supreme court would declare it against
public policy to pronounce the past
two legislatures and their acts Uncon-
stitutional, as such d decision would
entail many serious consequences af
fecting the interests of the entire
state.
These things teach US how careful
We should be in selecting members of
the legislature, and that we should
quit electiDg men solely because they
are good fellows" or stand right on
county division and other local issues
But the best policy, after all. is to
adopt The HeraId's former advice and
abolish the legislature, substituting for
it government by commission with
legislation by the referendum method
Past experience argues that it is i'm
possible to assemble together one hun
dTed men, s majority Of whom are
blessed with the necessary ability and
unselfish patriotism to legislate wisely
and well for the best interests of the
state. This is why, as the old woman
