The Consoling Flicker of
A Srnouldering Conscience

Although it may be too pleasant &c
hope that anything viii come of it,
still it is gratifying to know that at
least one senator of the United States
and he Southern man, has entered
a plea Tor increasing the salaries of
minor government employees. If. moth
ing else it proves that while congress
has been brave enough only to in
GREASE the pay of its own members
and that of the high and mighty in
office, there still abides a Pickering
flame of conscience which one Of these
days may fash up and result in hand
ing out some OF the peoples coin to
those who really need it
Il do not think it is to the credit OF
congress-" exclaimed Senator Bacon.
of Geodgia God bless him!) right out
in open meeting, too, that we have
raised our own salaries and the sala-
ries OF high officials who are In a
position TO urge their wishes, and
have not only neglected but refused
to increase the compensation of gov
eminent employees with small saIa-
ries who are not in a position 70 in
sist upon their demands, and who
would be rebuked and in danger OF
losing their places should they insist
upon an increase"
And even Jacob H. GaIIInger. one
Of the senators from New Hampshire
and supposed to possess a soul at
least as large as a pumpkin seed, was
touched. This person has charge of
the District bill and gravely asserted
that "when some plan is presented
he would do his part in helping on the
good cause WHEN" when ovs
teTs have legs and COWS lay eggs ?''
Was this but sop to CerberuS? Poor
CeFberusl You are not a dangerous
dog though you may have ten thou
sand eyes grown weary with the daily
drudgery imposed on departmental
slaves. 1t is said that the meek shall
inherit the earth. So the time may
come when these timid employees will
get what they need without placing
themselves in a position to be "re-
buked" or to lose their places" It
may come, and how one would like TO
live long enough to see it.

an MEMORIAM.
Contributed.

One more veteran gone to his rest.
Though not amid battles array.
One less left Of the dWindling band,
That once proudly wore the gray.
Fold the torn cOlors across his breast.
Lay a palm on the heart so brave
An offering of flowers, and a tribute
of tears
Ere We lay him away IN the grave.
Though unknown to fame, he did his
part,
Nor turned from the fiercest frav.
He was one who fought where shot
and shell
Played havoc with the gray.
For him the struggles OF life and war
Are as dreams that have passed
away,
He'll wake no more at the trumpets
call
Till the last great judgment day.
Comrades. who fought for southern
rights.
Now gather around his bier
With uncovered heads TO honor the
dead
As I do here.

A Serious Thought
For Sunday Morning.

A few days ago one of the Florida
newspapers printed an editorial head
ed Prepare to Meet Thy God" 1t
was full of good advice, 1ntended
principally for boys and girls. 1t told
them to clothe themselves with all
the virtues so that when God might
appear down the vista nf life they
would be ready to greet Him without
blush of guilty shame.
And this text has been the founda-
ton of many impressive sermons from
learned theologians. Insniring pero-
rations whose overwhelming rhetoric
might move the very stones to prayer
have burst from the Ips of Heavens
true eyangels in earnest supplica-
tons to the sinful to prepare; prepare
to meet their God. The advice, no
doubt, has ever been prompted by a
sincere love. burning desire to LEAD
the erring and distressed into green
pastures and beside still waters.
But is it not a fact that there is not
one day of the year, one hour of the
day, one minute of the hour, one sec
ond of the minute when each of US
be he high or low, rich or poor, crush
ed benath load of sin or riding upon
snowy wings within the solden at
mosphere OF righteousness. does not
stand face to face with the God
whose kindom is within us? Nor may
we prepare to meet Him We must
meet Him forever and forever. The
one thing needed is tn know Him.

opponents of the Taliaferro bill have
been driven is most plainly set forth
IN their setting up the DOGGY of states
rights as one of their principal argu-
ment5 why the bill should not be
passed. The rights of a state are no
higher than the tights of its people.
What the Pilot wants is TO see the
peoples rights. the very life of the
hard working operator. made secure.
IL IS FAR from that under the present
system of handling naval stores.
The latter part of the paragraph is
all right. The saving OF naval stores
operators from extra expense and a
federal interference which would
cripple their business, is the very rea-
son why Che Journal opposes the
Taliaferro bill. But before we can
enter upon an argument regarding
the proper extent of state rights
watch is a profound political question
on which hinges the actual perpetu-

Mr.. RADCLIFFE REPLIES TO
CHARGE OF DELAYING ENGINE

Editor Pensacola Journal:

eRee TO delay in getting the fire en-
CINE to them on Sunday. January 81,
and while the L. & II. needs no de-
Tense in the matter, as il has not, as
yet, received any request TO send an
engine I happened TO be the only
l. & N man that ever heard woro
about the engine, and I therefore de
sire that the facts be known.
At 4:50 a. m, the mayor 'phoned
ME TO know if I could get the car
ready right quick, If the fire engine
vas wanted, to be loaded. I inform
ed him yes, and he then told me that
the fire chief would call me up. !
got a flat car in readiness and as
soon as the chief Of the fire depart
ment rang up and told me where the
fat was wanted il was placed and the
engine loaded as promptly as practi-
cable. When loaded, no arrange
ments had ever been made with the
railroad company TO take the engine
up, and it was necessary, for me to
take up the matter with the agent at
Milton over our wire to find out il
they wanted the engine. He found
out anu tue answer came yes. IRAN
No. % was then held until we could
get the engine put on the train.
Now. if the gentleman in question
will look into this matter, in. an impair
tial manner, they will find that they,
themselves, are responsible for any
delay in getting the engine to Milton
after it was loaded and not the l.. &
y. railroad company.
Yours truly,
