The Liberty Can.
Merchants and Farmers Next Wees

Many persons think that the 'liber-
ty cap" which is one Of our national
embems, is of American origin; but,
as matter OF fact, 1t comes to US
from ancient times, when the Phryg-
ians conquered the eastern part of
Asia Minor. These warlike people
wore 1t to distinguish themselves
from those whom they had conquered.
The ancient Romans borrowed the
emblem from the Phrygians, though
they made it distinctly symbol of
liberty. They used red cap and were
In the habit Of putting one on the
head of a slave when he was made a
freedman. AT the time of the assassi-
nation of julius Caesar cap on
spear was carried by the conspirators
as a token of liberty to Rome, and q
medal was struck bearing that device
England and France both adopted
the cap as an emblem Of liberty, the
former using blue cap with white
border and the latter q red cap. The
American cap is blue with a border
of gilt stars on a white background.

Horse Notes.

Remember that overfatness in sire
may hide many defects.
AS rule, a horse broad in the fore
head viii be intelligent and kind.
Breed for purpose. The average
farmer should breed the draft horse.
Feed judiciously rather than plenti-
fully. Many horses are fed into a
poor condition.
After a days work clean the work
horses thoroughly. Wash their legs
from the knees down and rub dry.
Breed preferably to sire that is
regularly worked on the farm or has
regular road experience every day,
The horses viii get more benefit

Point is the City Of Washing
ton.


The public statement that the
Standard Oil company interest con
template the building Of pipe line
from the West Virginia gas fields 10
the Eastern cities hdg attracted gen.
eraY interest in this section.
The building Of this pipe line will
mean much for this city, and IL the
plans for Greater Martinsburg 20
through we will be right In line with
open arms to greet It's coming
Representatives Of the Standard
on company secured rights of way
through this county some months go
when the survey was made for the
proposed line. The line as contem-
plated passes east through the q un-
ty running down the low land sast
south Of Bunker Hill The rights Of
way through the several farms IL
that neighborhood have been secured
The line Is to be built through from
Cumberland passing near the south
ern end OF Berkeley county into jeff
erson county AMI crossing the Shen-
andoah river about Millville and cut
ting across Virginia into Maryland
in the vicinity of Weverton.
From those who were in this sec
ton at the time the survey was made
for the pipe line to carry West Vir-
ginia natural gas to the east, it was
learned that the STANDARD Oil inter.
ests proposed to put q branch line
into this city from Bunker Hill.
Their object, it was also intimated,
was to put the natural gas into the
city of Washington and furnish the
national capitol with 80 cent gas. It
WAS also stated that the company ex-
pected to put gas into this city and
furnish it to consumers at 20 cents.
The matter here has been kept
very quiet. Natural gas at 20 cents
Thousand would surely be WELDON
ed. 1t would mean much to this COM
munity, where artificial gas is sold
1t $3.50.
The fact that options have been
taken on a lot of the stock OF the
Martinsburg Gas company in this
city recently, by certain parties with
a view of disposing of the entire
holdings would tend TO indicate that
there is something IN the proposed
coming of the pipe line, and that it
would be to the advantage OF the
local company to dispose Of their
plant, either to other parties, or TO
those interested in the Standard
OILS project.
The sale of the local plant to in
terests favorable to the great cor
poration would eliminate competition
-snd enable the trust to hold up the
price.
How soon this line viii be built
is not known, but it Is said that the
project is we'll in hand and that the
work viii soon be under way.

secretaries of the fire companies
showing, among other things the
amount and condition of fire apparatus
and equipment on hand, the number
Of fire alarms responded to, etc.,
with request, in a couple cases for
more hose and other equipment.
The reports showed that the fire
losses in Mlartinsburg last year were
comparatively small, the most disas-
trous fires being that at the Stewart
Vehicle Co. last January and at the
Martinsburg Steam Laundry last June.
The foregoing statement proves, in
part, the efficiency of the Martins

A committee was appointed to con-
slider the question of a separate fire
alarm for the fourth and fifth wards,
the fremen in those wards having
complained that they can not hear
distinctly the taps of the bell at fire.

Proposed Street Signs
Are Much Needed.

The request made to the city coun-
Gil at its meeting Wednesday evening
by the department of public works
that five hundred dollars be appropri-
ated to secure the material and tools
for placing the names of streets on
the sidewalks, should certainly be
granted. The request was referred
10 the committees OH finance and on
parks and public ways, and it is hop
ed they will report favorably at as
early a date as possible.
Old residents of Pensacola cannot,
of course, fully appreciate all that 1t
means to visitors or new settlers,
who have various addresses they wish.
to visit located by street and number,
TO be able easily to determine their
Whereabouts when seeking a destina-
ton. Yet those who may have visit
ed other cities lacking equally with
our city the means of such ascertain
ment if they will thing a moment
will recall their own possible annoy
ance or bewiIderment and will better
understand the importance Of the pro-
posed improvement.
Nor can one we'll think of a better
plan for displaying the names or
streets tnan by engraving them in
cement blocks on the sidewalks.
They should OF course be deeply cut,
They would then be far less likely TO
suffer obliteration than when painted
on the walls of buildings. Moreover,
they could not be broken down, blown
down or stolen as has often been the
case when attached to lamp posts or
other standards. Being directly at
the feet OF pedestrians such signs are
easily seen and read, and taking all
these facts into consideration it is
highly desirable that the work of pIac-
ing them should be carried out as
soon as possible.

J. L. SWEENEY BELIEVES
PRESENT GOVERNMENT BEST

Pensacola, Fla, March Il, 1909.
/ Editor Pensacola journal:
! have read Mr.. L. S. Browns article
| on the commission form of city gov
/ eminent, and | take this occasion &c
/ forth. As I understand his PROPOSE
ton, he wants the people 10 elect four
| Or five men and a mayor, and give
| them the power TO appoint all subordi-
nate officials.
! II seems to me that the people are
4 better able 70 judge as 10 who they
/ want to serve them as officials than
! four or five men. II is true that un-
/ der the proposed arrangement the
people would elect the members OF
/ the commission, and thus indirectly
have voice in the selection of sub
ordinate officials. but at the same
! time it seems that our people have
had enough evidence of the results
that come from bad appointments.
WHAT we need is a city government
In which all qualified electors shall
have a direct voice in the selection of
all officials Under the present plan
this is more nearly approached than
in the form proposed. Right here
would point 10 the fact that we have
made more progress under the pres
ent form of government than has been
made by this city in all its history.
Then why change? The commission
idea is not new one 10 Pensacola
a. the city was once so governed. and
to say il was a failure is mild state
menr. If the people will remem Der
the difficulties and misunderstanding
that arose under that regime, it will
not be easy 10 find favor in their
eyes for q system they nave already
abandoned
l think the people can be trusted
to exercise good judgment IN choosing
those who offer themselves for seYv-
Ice. Under our present system, when
man comes out for office, the voters
have chance to investigate his quail
flcatiOns, his ability and his record
If these are found satisfactory they
generally vote for him. Under the
system advocated by Mr.. Brown every
candidate for a seat on the commits
sion would have an army of office
seekers at his heels, to whom prom
ises would be made that could not be
fulfilled Then again if a certain fac
ton landed their men. they could by
judiCiOUs use Of public plumber con-
tinUe their reign indefinitely This is
something which must be avoided If
our city is TO continue to progress.
] am giving my views on this sub
ject, for / think every citizen ought
tC consider this matter seriously
There Is no question OF Mr.. Browns
motives, as I believe he is sincere.
but I am simply expressing an opin-
ion that does not coincide with his

all, and let the people retain the pow
