A Serious Error,

The Pensacola Chamber of Com
merce has discovered an important
error in the Reprint of photographic
Information" issued by the govern
ment which states that Pensacola has
q feet of water over the bar at all
seasons when it should be 81 feet, and
has taken steps to have the error
corrected in the next issue. Pensa-
cola is rightly jealous of her reputa-
ton as the Deep Water City" Can't
allow the national government to dis
credit itI-JaCksOnville Times Union.

Not Bad Advice.

Pensacola policemen do not know
who is president of the United States
and some of them claim that Pensa-
cola is the capital of Florida. Every
one of them ought to be required, IN
der penalty of dismissal, to subscribe
and pay for and read the two Pensa-
cola papers, The Journal and the
News, and at the end of a year they
would be comparatively intelligent
men.-Punta GoTda Herald.

New York Democrats
Frown on Murphy.

Considering the vote cast by the
New York democracy from 1896
through every presidential election up
to and including that of 1908, the fact
that there is to be a convention held
in that state to determine the position
of the party is Of peculiar interest.
And furthermore, the fact that the
present leader of Tammany Hall,
Charles F. Murphy, has not been in
vited to lend his views to the other
keaders adds largely to that interest.
The meeting for the conference will
take place in Saratoga the ninth and
tenth of next month and the call has
been signed by men whose democracy
has been proven by years of service
to the party.
The outcome of the convention will
be full of meaning and the rebuke of
Tammany's poor showing of votes in
the 1908 election Will lead good dem
Ocrats to believe that the meeting Will
result in the betterment OF party or
ganization throughout the northeast.
The dispatch conveying the news
of the meeting says that Chief Muir
ply favOrs the convention, but it does
not give the reasons for his approval
1t will. be well to wait for these rea-
sons; for they must contain startling
revelations to those who were
astounded by the default of the Tam
many-controlled democratic vote in
the last election-the suspected trea-
son IN the camp Of that organization
at q national election fraught with
unusual consequence in the nations
history.

GeoTgia's redemption of its con-

the place of the state as the guardian

understanding of public duty toward

voting for a tariff of y per cent. on

The tariff of 81 per ton on print paper
is really a reduction of 50 from the

per cent. ad valOrem, at which rate
the average village weekly Will pay
