The Jacksonville !Times-Union has

physical effects which usually result
from an over indulgence in wrath.
There is no paper in Florida which
has been clearer in its condemnation

CreStyleW, Feb. 17.-On last Friday
evening at 1880 O'Clock, on the I2JL
inst, the angel of death visited tn,
little village of Crestvlew a2d made
sad the hearts of all her people b.
calling from their midst 10 heaven one
or her oldest and most beloved ciu
zens, W. A. Powell. The deceased
was born in Troy, Ala, in 1850. HiL
parents removed to this state in 1858
and settled at Bethel, just north oil
CrestView, at which place he lived
until about twenty-Seven years ago,
when he moved to Crestview, being
the first 10 settle At this place. He
was fifty-eight years old at the time

daughters blessed this union. He
united with Bethel NJ. z. church in
early life OF which church he was a
staunch and a consistent member al
the time of his death
He was III but a few days but bore
his pain and suffering with that fOrti-
tude that is only possessed by those
that are at peace with the Heavenly
One. He never muTmuTed or COM
planned, but was perfectly Teconciled
to the will Of Him who dOeth all things
well. More than one time he express
Redeemer- Just little while before
tho end came, though his voice had
been weakened by the pangs of pneu-
mOnia and his tongue parched by few
er he sang a song, one he used to
sing In early life. His voice was as
voice from heaven; his tongue had
been maintained by the holy water
and his utterances were clear and dis
tinct- He was no longer an earthly
creature, but a heavenly body. As
we sal by his bed and watched him
enter the valley and walk in the
shadow Of death he feared not.
His remains were inferred in Beth
el cemetery Sunday with a cOncourse
OF sorroWiug relatives and friends
present. He leaves a wife and five
daughters, three brothers and four
sisters 10 mourn his death.
We would say To the bereaved TO
weep not. While their loss is great
It IS but his eternal gain. he has
gone TO that land where there will be
no more pain, sickness or death, no
disappOlntments, no cares and where
no storm clouds rise, but all is peace
and joy, and while his body rests be-
meath the sod, we would say, sleep
on, my brother, sleep or. till the morn
ing or the resurrection.

A QUESTION FOR PREACHERS,
EDITORS AND ROLIIILtRN

Editor Pensacola Journal:
/ The superintendent of state pFis-
ons Of New York says in his annual
report:
The prison records show that dur
ing periods of financial and business
depression in the last fifty years the
population of the state prisons in
reased and that with the revival OF
business there was a falling on in
the number OF the prisoners"
In Cleveland lately an association
was formed by prominent people TO
prevent people out OF work from COM
hitting suicide. The remedy was try
ing 70 get them work.
y few days since three men were
sentenced IA Pensacola several years
Lov theft, These men told the court
they were driven to crime for no
other reason than they could not get
work.
The politicians, preachers and edit
OTIS are silent on this awful thought
The awful thought of abundance OF
machinery, land and tools 10 produce
with and people starving to death be-
cause they can't get the use of these
Instruments of production. Can't some
OF these preachers, editors and poll
ucians tell us working people what's
the cause of all this dreadful condi-
ton? All we want is to get into the
factories and on the land and rail-
roads and work
Can't some good meaning preacher
tell us what ii is that sJands be
tween us and these instruments of
production, preventing US from pro
ducing abundance with our strong
brain and muscle?

The Blind Tiger a
Ubiquitous Animal.

From one end to the other of the
section where the prohibition fight has
been waged, it has been asserted that
the departure of the saloon would
mean only the arrival of the blind
tiger. Events have proven that In
many cities and counties which have
rid themselves of licensed liquor
trafic these blind tigers have con-
tinued to exist-in many instances
may have Increased in number.
But, as a matter of fact, in all com
munities, whether liquor selling is Ii
censed or not, there always have been
and always will be found men who
stand ready to disobey the law and
conduct an illicit traffic on the sly.
There are but nine counties out of
FloFida's forty-six which now stand in
the wet column, One Of these is
Monroe. Yet to judge by the follow
ing from the Key West Citizen there
is not a blind tiger in all the forty-six
dry counties approaching in vicious
ness and lawlessness those that in
Florida East Coast railroad toward
the Island City. The Citizen says:
The traffic in liquor has grown to
such an extent at the railroad camps
on the keys that some action on the
part or the county officials is neces-
sary. The sheriff unfortunately has
no means at his command to track
the booze boats down or to secure
evidence against them, but the stu
alton is now such as to demand that
the means be provided. We are in
formed that at several points near
the large railroad camps large stocks
Of liquor are carried and regular bar
foomS are being run. Besides this
boat loads of leWd women are car
ried to the keys and gamblers from
up the state are making their head
quarters near the camps. Some time
between the 18th and goth OF the
present month the pay boat will dis
tribute more than 100000 at the
camps. II the booze boats and
gamblers were run out the bulk Of
this money would find its way into the
channels of trade in this city. other
wise very little OF il will reach here
sheriffs on board could patrol the
keys and put stop TO all violations
of the law and the cost would be very
slight in view of the benefits to be
secured. We believe that the bust
ness interests OF the city would fur
nish the sheriff with the necessary
boat if the deputies could be Sc
cured.
Under the circumstances cited Dy
the Citizen It would seem but rea-
sonable to expect the county authori-
ties OF Monroe to take cognizance of
conditions and make a determined eff
fort to mend them. AS an outsider,
The Journal would think it a compare
lively simple undertaking to kill the
blind tigers whose lairs are in such
an exposed position and necessarily
so confined as to locality. No doubt
a successful war viii be waged
against them with the purpose of
both improving the moral status of
the camps and the business interests
OF Monroe county.

Federal Intervention
Is Not Called For.

Senator TaliafeFro has sent The
Journal draft OF naval stores bill''
and it is presumed that he asks for
criticism on the measure. The inten-
tion of the bill is good. 1t should
awaken the pride OF states in main
tanning jurisdiction over matters
under their control. Il should do
more; because it insists upon the &C
ceptance Of the states of responsible
ty-their complete exercise of juris-
Ciction, at least to a certain point.
II is beyond US, however, TO COM
prehend why a matter which should
be controlled by the states should re-
quire federal action. The constant de-
sire Of the national government under
the RooseveItian administration to
butt into the affairs of the common
wealth, regulate insuIar possessions
and advise every other country and
the possessions Of every other coun-
try seems to have become infectious.
The states are building themselves,
and each Of them viii probably pro-
lect itself, like Texas and Kansas and
Missouri, against the powers of evil
without federal aid and even despite
federal ineffectiveness If recent mis-
carriages in the United States courts
may be taken as a criterion.
The draft" has been only super
hcially glanced through, and until we
have discovered Just how far the De-
partment Of Agriculture may go in

kensive criticism The principal thing
90 be avoided should any sort of
measure be passed would be extension
of federal inquisitorial processes in
the states by means OF an army of in
Spectors. There has been quite
enough OF this sort of thing and it is
high time 1t were brought to a close.

Although no question of political
importance be involved, it is very
questionable whether Senator Knox's

the action OF congress in reducing the
pay OF that once back to what it was
before the raise OF salary which was
voted for by Knox himself. Those
congressman who opposed the meas
ure being adopted no doubt acted in
good faith because of their devotion
TO the constitution and any adverse
