ROOSEVELT ADMINISTRATIONS
RECORD.

This administration has achieved some
things; II has sought, but has not been able,
to achieve others; II has doubtless made
mistakes; but all IT has done or attempted
has been in the single, consistent effort to
secure and enlarge the rights and opportu-
mites OF the men and women OF the United
States, We are trying to conserve what is
good IN our social system, and we are striv
ing toward this end when we endeavor TO
do away with what is bad. Success may be
made too hard for some if il is made too
easy for others. The rewards OF common
industry ard thrift may be too small if the
rewards for other, and On the whole less
valuable, qualities are made too large, and
especially if the rewards tor qualities which
are really, from the public standpoint, unde-
sirable are permitted to become too large.
Our aim is so far as possible 70 provide
such conditions that there shall be equality
of opportunity where there is equality of
energy. fidelity and intelligence; when there
IS a reasonable equality OF opportunity the
distribution of rewards will take care of
itself

One of the Governors
Best Recommendations.

Few better recommendations were
made by Governor Gilchrist in his
message to the legislature than that
advising the passage of a law to per-
nit cities to adopt their own charters.
The governor would place the framing
of a charter in the hands of the city
council, but would require its submits
sion to the people and its ratification
by majority vote before it could be-
come effective
1t is singular that no bill covering
this wise purpose has been intro
duced. so far as The Journal has been
informed, either in the house or the
senate. On the contrary, the wheels
of the states legislative body are al
ready clogged by numerous local
measures adding to or qualifying ex-
listing municipal eharteFS-measures
about whose merits it is utterly i'm
possible for the lawmakers to inform
themselves, but which they are called
upon TO sanction or reject.
The time consumed in the consid-
Grafton of these local bills is, more
over, a serious consideration. There
are certainly enough questions Of
statewide Importance to fully occupy
the legislature during its brief session
OF sixty days. To have innumerable
matters Of purely local Importance

Bill To Be Passed.
The bill to place loan sharks IN
Minnesota under the control OF the
state public examiner was reported
for passage by the members OF the
tTi-county delegation late today.
The decision to recommend the
passage OF the measure, which has
the backing of civic organizations of
MINNEAPOLIS. was reached after a
public hearing had been held on the
bill.
Representative of the Publicity
club, the Commercial club, the AssO-
ciated Charities. the Trades and La
Dor Assembly, the American Institute
of Banking, Minneapolis chapter, and
the Wholesalers and Manufacturers
association, appeared before the COM
mittcc
The methods of the loan sharks and
the excessive rates of interest charged
by them for short time loans were
explained to the solons, as was the
proposed organization of legitimate
loan association among Minneapolis
business men to supplant the loan
agents.
By a practically unanimous vote
the delegation decided to urge the
passage of the measure.-Minneapo polls

This Appropriation
Should Be Made.

The Civic League of Pensacola has
undertaken to secure for our city the
services of a competent landscape
architect TO lay out plan for park,
boulevard and play ground develop
ment to meet present and future
needs. It is understood that this
will include detailed planting plans
for Palafox, Garden. Wright and Al
caniz streets, whose proper develop
ment will make Pensacola famous as
a beautiful city
The Journal has advocated the idea
of securing this expert advice and
feels that the best interest of all
citizens will be served by having a
complete plan before us as an ideal
TO stimulate enthusiasm.
The ladies of the Civic League have
in hand five hundred dollars which is
one-half the required amount and are
asking the city council TO appropriate
the remainder. This. surely, will not
be- denied.

Needed Provisions For
the Public Health.

There should be ready response on
the part of the city council to the re-
quest of the health board for the con-
struction Of crematory and the pro-
vision of a portable oil tank. Both
are instantly demanded for the well
fare of the city, for the preservation
of the health OF the people and as a
contribution to public comfort.
The manner in which garbage is
now disposed of is a public disgrace
and, moreover. seriously affects the
value of property in it's neighborhood.
Its fostering presence is most often
sive and it is a regular hot bed for
the propagation of flies and spread of
disease. A crematory for the de-
struction of the city's garbage is the
great need of the hour Either that

Oil is the sovereign remedy to pre-

enC aies of human life as has been
absolutely proven by scientific Gbser-
walton and test. 1t should be freely
used on all stagnant waters where

venient and an obnoxious interference
with the interests OF the public.
The people of a community are the
best qualified to understand and adopt
systems Of municipal government
suited to their peculiar needs and CAL
culated to develop their communities
and increase their happiness and
prosperity. 1t is perfectly safe, and
it is eminently sane, to leave the mat
ter in their hands. Such law, be-
sides, would not be in the nature of a
contract. Should any city take ad-
vantage Of it's provisions and pass or
dinances which might endanger the
welfare of the state the legislature
would retain the power either tC re-
scind the law, or amend it in such a
manner as to nullify and make mop
erative such Objectionable ordinances.
The Journal hopes that such bill
will be introduced and passed. In fact
all local questions should be laid aside
and measure be adopted that would
at once place them outside the pale
OF legislative consideration and reIe-
gate them to the communities inter
ested in their adoption.
OF course there should be certain
limitations as to the extent to which
cities may go in charter revision, but
1t would be advisable to- confer upon
them the greatest possible liberty of
choice consistent with the public well
fare. And what an infinite relief the
prevalence Of this law would be to
the legislature. How much dealing
and dickerinG would be averted. How
much hard feeling would be prevent
ed. And how much more good work
for the people of Florida the ITALIA
