The directors OF the Standard Oil
Company met this morning but took
no formal action with regard to Mr.
Rogers demise standard Oil stock
opened unchanged on the curb. and
it is sa5 that the condition of the
Virginian Railway, which Mr.. Rogers
opened recently. is such that its prop
erty will not be affected. John ID.
Rockefeller will succeed Mr. Rogers
as president of the Amalgamated
Copper Company.
Mr.. Rogers began life as a poor
boy al Fairhaven, Mass. where he re-
tanned his legal residence until the
day of his death. lie is variously re-
ported as having commenced life as
a newsbOy and as driver Of gro
Gerry cart.
Left An immense Fortune.
Mr.. Rogers was man of many
friends and an enthusiastic yachts
man Until recently he had held the
reins of the Standard Oil Company
following the retirement of John ID.
Rockefeller, although ]. II. Archbold
attended to the routine management
of the corporation. His fortune is es-
timated at from $50. 0O0. 600 to s75. 000.-
coo. which will make his son. II. III.
Rogers. Jr, one of the richest men in
the country. Mr.. Rogers first wife
died fourteen years ago. and he is
survived in addition to his second
wife by four children, the son and the
following daughters: Mrs. W. f.
benjamin, Mrs. Urlpn II. Broughton

The cause of his death was an
apoplectic stroke" said DR.. Fowler to-
night. Mr. Rogers had not been in
the best of health since he suffered a
stroke Of apoplexy about two yeaP,s
slgO, and for the last three or four
weeks | had seen HIM almost daily"

Florida Roads Will
Be Thoroughly Discussed.

Beginning April 81 the annual con-
vention of FIorida's county commits
sioners and Good Roads Association
will be held at Palatka. In calling
the meeting President ]. w. White
has this to say:
The subject of improved roads IS
commanding more active and practi-
cal consideration at this time than
any other question of internal i'm
provement in the states and terri
tories Of the American union. Agri-
cultural. commercial, industrial, trans
poTtation, religious, educational, So
cial and public interests are demand
ing system of permanent highways
commensurate with the needs of the
country. The proceedings of the
convention will include addresses and
discussions upon the scientific, ethic
and economic phases of the subject
and its relation to industrial progress
and development. Legislation per-
tanning to state cooperation and
supervision, financial ways and means,
the use of COnvicts and other details
Of the subject will receive practical
consideration.
1t is altogether unnecessary for
The Journal to call further attention
to the great Importance of the matter
of good roads. Their value in the
development of the state. indeed, the
absolute necessity of securing them if
the commonwealth is to keep pace
with the rest of the country and
realize its share of benefit has been
sufficiently demonstrated for all in
telIigent people to understand. But
we would suggest that Escambia
county be fully represented at the Pa
latka meeting.
There is a great difference between
knowing the nece ,sity of a thing,
good roads or any other public utility,
and taking an active part in bringing
that thing TO pass. Every county in
the state stands in imminent need of
highway improvement, but it will
never be brought about until our
citizens arouse themselves and turn
their knowledge and desire to actual
achievement.

Tribune, it is not quite worthy to en-
ter the peaTly gates of Paradise
still, even the devil should be given
his uue. Now We do not mean to
hint that the Record is any way con-
nected with his Satanic majesty; and,
further, we assert unhesitatingly that
its stand for party unity at this time
is eminently sane and glitters like
pure gold beside the dross of dis
ruption advocated by its Tampa an
tagonist.
The ultimate good to be attained
by a concerted, organized movement
by the democratic forces, apart from
the moral force to be gained by a
conscientious adherence to party
principles, would far outweigh any
advantage to be gained for constitu-
ents or for anybody eIse-certainIy
for themselves, their reputation and
their infuence-by those democrats
who recently refused to follow the
policy adopted by their party's caucus.
1t is impossible for the Journal to
form any conclusion from the
Tribune's eTratic statement that that
sort of thing has become "a TecOg-
nized principle of party" except that it
was cOnveTsing through its panama.
''Principle." That's funny.

DECREASES
CRIME IN BIRMINGHAM,

| Editor Pensacola Journal:
Prohibition of the liquor traffic
seems to be the leading question OF
the day. Not alone with humanitar-
ians and pnilanthrOpists, but with
politicians and business men as well.
All are interested. Prohibition is d
live issue. Petitions for statewide
have been circulated in every county
OF Florida. While obtaining sigma
lures to this appeal, have constantly
been met with this argument, "Prohi-
bitiOn does not prohibit. More liquor
Is sold IN dry territory than in places
where its sale is licensed Wishing 10
learn the truth from a reliable source.
L wrote to Chief of Police Booker
OF Birmingham, for information. Re
plying TO my letter, ne says:
In regard to crimes being on the
increase since prohibition has been
IN erect, L beg to say that we have
only had prohibition a little over y
year in the city of Birmingham, and
there was 4,434 less arrests than the
year previous. There is a decrease
III crimes such as murder and assault
without Intent to murder and about
65 per cent. decrease in drunkenness.
OF course, I cannot say that this
~~-N1S - vi ely uuG ~ DTOHlDl-
ton or that the people are getting
better, but | can assure Won that
crimes have decreased and not in
creased since prohibition went into
effect"
We should have prohibition if only
for economic reasons. When a man is
arrested he is thrown out of employ
ment- While in II elock-uD he must

cases ais family are assisted by char

the bill. Yet, how many times / was
met with this. My people don't drink.
/ am not Interested in the saloon ques-
ton Our government requires pupils
in the public schools 10 learn that al

any regard for human suffering should

The Governor FavorS
Better Primary Laws.

Governor Gilchrist, recognizing the
impeTfections which now hang like a
dead weight upon the primary cleo
ton laws of the state, made the fol-
lowing recommendation in his mes
sage to the legislature:
The primaries are too expensive.
The law should be amended so as to
provide publicity clause. 1t should
require at least every candidate and
some specified workers to certify to
the public, under suitable penalties.
at some time prior to said election.
a statement of the amount of money
expended and from what source the
money was received.
This recommendation, although not
going into detail is in line with what
the Journal has long contended for
There should be absolute publicity in
the campaign expenditures of all can
didates. The question will unques-
tiOnabIy be brought before the Iegis-
lature and at the proper time The
Journal Will enter fully into its dis
cussiOn.
