en- all other aviatoTs to the secret
Jacksonville Times Union.
The Journal noticed the interview
with Edison quoted by The Tribune
and referred to by the Times Union;
and has been intending to say some
thing about it; because it was di
rectly in ratification of its own po-
sition expressed a month ago.
It seems impossible, from our way
of looking at the thing. that inventors
can make an arrangement of ma
chinery to Guido the Creator for pur-
poses of aviation. 1t almost seems
that the birds fight is given man to
initiate in his effort to traverse the
skies which he seems to be bent upon
doing.

Thought About
The Other Fellow.

The Journal believes in giving his
just dues to every man and it has
been impressed by the thoughtfulness
Of Hartman. who, only two days be-
fore his death. summoned J. Pierpont
Morgan to visit him in order that an
arrangement might be reached to
protect the interests which he con-
troIled.
The nerve Of the man is what i'm
presses us-that and the fact that his
last gasps of breath in the world of
comprehension were given to pre-
serve the strength and integrity Of
the great concerns which he had
built. For the failure of these would
not alone have brought disaster to
horde of Wall street spectators,
but would have meant ruin to limo
cent nvestors-trustees. administra-
tors Of estates and private individuals
who had placed confidence in the
Hartman methods and believed that
the Foundation Of value he had laid
was upon the rocks.
It has been well said of Hartman
that although he got his rake or
from his many deals, every time he
took this tribute to his wonderful
| constructive brain force he laid the
| opportunity for other fortunes. 1t is
unjust to accuse a man of being alto
gether selfish when he adopts such a
/ course. And in this connection it
would be well for those who remem-
Der the procedure of the management
of the Union Pacific railroad when
Dillon was president and throughout
the control of Jay Gould-the former
having been a tool and the latter
having left the earth without a
thought of others in his heart Gould
amassed his fortune like a miser. It
was squandered by four degenerate
children. There were two immediate
descendants, Helen and George, who
used the good influence Of a mother
to direct them in the righteous use OF
their inheritance
Harriman's foTethOught, the fore
thought of one who knew he was ap-
preaching the last throes of the death
agony, in thus providing a sure de-
tense against the gamblers of Wall
street who. he knew (alas, too welll
would seize the occasion of his death
to serve their own vile purposes,
showed the touch of kindness which,
! even more than human nature. should
make the whole world kin.
Hartman should be honored for
| this. The Journal certainly honors
| him for it. He showed himself Man
beyond the usual understanding OF
| the word.

at the springs with her mother, Mrs.
W. +. Macarthur
The entertainment last Wednesday
night at the home of Hon. Milton
Watson was indeed a most enjoyable
affair. 1t was given in honor of Miss
Maude Milstead, of Brewton, who is

est daughter of the above named

HEAR THE BOOST; FEEL THE
BOOM; SEE THE BUILDING.

It is impossible to understand why
every man in Pensacola doesn't go to
Nork for the city unless he has anky-
lostomiasis (incinariasis is the same
thing) which means that sometime in
his barefoot youth when he got a
scratch or sore on his foot the inener-
giving hook-worms crept along with
his blood to his heart, through that
and his lungs and bronchial super
structure to the tTaChea and then
tumbled over into the oesophagus-
the tube that leads TO the stomach.
Then these charming inhabitants of
the human form divine" journeyed
into the stomach, left that and wan
dered farther-down into the lower
intestines-untiI they found the ha-
ven where they would be-" the place
to suck the life blood from their pres
ent victims and lay eggs to inOculate
others. The Journal mentions these
things only because of its interest il
the city and its people and from an in
tense desire to see the latter go 10
work as united and powerful and
eonuuering force for the supremacy
sE the former.

Maurise F. Egan, United States
minister to Denmark, was the first
representative of this government to
welcome DR.. Cook when he returned
from his polar journey. Mr.. Egan
met the Hans Egede at sea and had
planned to take DR.. Cook aboard his
yacht, but in Difference to the Ell
thusiastic Danes he changed his plans
and allowed the explorer to continue
his journey to Copenhagen under the
Danish flag. Mr. Egan also was the
first American official to inspect the
records which Cook brought back
with him and had no hesitancy in
pTOnuOncing them genuine.
