looking toward either the elimination of
the cars from the two systems or a modi-

Art and Sentiment.

We've had lot O. worry down to Pollock
on the Crick.
Some years ago when crops was good
an coin was rather thick
We got some statuary an some paintin's

Who did things worth our notice with
the sword or with the pen.
We used to look 'em over with a feelin'
of respect.
They stood for morals high an bravery
an NEGLECT,
Until sonse critic fellers CHANGED to come
along one day
An started talkin' bout 'em in a most
familiar way.
They said Ben Franklin's curves were
wrong. We listened In surprise.
An Henry Clay had somethin' queer the
matter with his eyes.
They looked the outfit over with an un-
relentin' sneer,
An some was out of drawin' an q lot
lacked atmosphere!
An then we riz up in our pride an
asked 'em If they knew
The folks they were discussin' was their
betters through an through.

Perkins grabbed brick.
We haven't seen critic since at Pohick

The Medical Congress.

The congress of physicians and sur
Seons now in session in this city brings
together remarkable assembage of
scientific men, most OF them specialists
in the pursuit of the causes and cures
of particular diseases. They represent
an army fighting for human life, engaged
in a battle against insidious foes often
unknown and unidentified. Year by year
they report successes, sometimes the dis
covery of new remedy or previously
identified cause of disease again the iso-
lation of bacterial disease principle
for which science has been searching
Year after year they tell of the per-
sistent, confident research for the cure
of cancer, always optimistic and conf
dent OF ultimate success. They bring re-
ports of decreasing mortality i'm many
diseases and of the Improvement of
methods and materials for the ameIiora-
ton OF suffering.
The relation of the physician To So
ciety today is vastly different from that
OF few generations ago. Now the man
of medicine is the man OF science, no
longer catering to the whims and self
induIgences of his patients, but striking
out for the truth and making il plain
to the world and holding his cases
strictly under scientific treatment. The

measure given way to the specialist. Yet

Some of the diseases which remain UNI

act a heavy toll from humanity, owe
their virulence to human faults and fail
ures of organization rather than to the
dies for them. Typhoid fever still re-
mains terrible menace to society, al
though its causes are we'll under stood
and the means of its communication
reduced to a distinct basis. Neglect
of simple sanitary laws is responsible
for its spread. Similarly, the fight
against tuberculosis is largely a CAM
paign of education, to teach those who
are suffering from disease that they are
responsible for its spread to the well.
Untold benefits flow to the public from
these annual gatherings of the soldiers
of science. Washington is favored by
being so often selected as the scene OF
the conventions of these societies, and
it should learn itself the lessons that
are taught by the sanitarians and the
psychologists and the physicians who
assemble here. With all the knowledge
regarding human ailments, their causes
and their means of prevention which is
here spread before the public in the
most convincing form by the men who
stand foremost in the scientific world
in their own lines of activity, the Dis
trict should become a model community
as regards the physical welfare of its
inhabitants.

For the Fourth of July.
rom the Utica Press


The safe and. sane Fourth of July
movement is gaining in strength and
territory constantly. Several cities have
taken the matter up. and through their
municipal administrations have passed
rules and regulations which will mini
mize the noise and danger of subsequent
disasters. If the Old-time din and
racket are to be abolished, as they. de-
serve to be, something must be found
to take their place in the way of u gen.
eral jubilation, entertainment or cere-
mony. That the death dealing &C
compartments of the torpedo, firecracker
and toy cannon celebration are unde-
sirable scarcely needs any argument
TO demonstrate. 1t is wholly within
the authority of local legislators In
cities and villages anywhere to put a
stop to the sale or use OF these
dangerous explosives. That has been
worked out very satisfactorily indeed,
and those who have given it a. fair
trial will never go back to the old/way.

King Edward.

The illness of King Edward will oc-
casion universal diSquiet and sympathy.
He is more than IA great influence at
home. His influence elsewhere is great,
and for the best. BY men of weight and
wide observation. he has been appraised
as the ablest diplomat figuring IN Euro
pean affairs Certainly he has had large
success i'll promoting good will between
his own country and others, and thereby
has added to the safeguards of peace. If
he had done nothing else but bring about
the present friendly relations between
Great Britain and France he would have
stamped himself as an Eng .ishman of
extraordinary tact and talents. One has
only to think Of how the two peoples
had felt and acted toward each ether for
centuries To appreciate the wonderful
power that was exhibited in bringing
them together.
The first thought, however, is of the
situation at home, which is very grave.
Great Britain is struggling with CUES

Some years ago Prince Bismarck, after
surveying the English statesmen of the

Disraeli and said, 1.-THE Jew is The

king is the man. He has a l--ger
grasp of affairs than any of his min

than all of them combined. His subjects
and the world at large have been looking
to him to bring order out of the existing
British chaos.
The Prince of Wales has had careful

might, for a time at least, add to the
existing complications.
English history shows the Englishman
at his best with his back to the wall.
He is a sturdy customer in a corner.
And, even with young and untried
ruler on the throne, he might emerge
from the present corner triumphant, and
stronger than ever.

A Business Man
In the Legislature.

For years The Journal has been try
ing to induce business man to run
for the legislature from Escambia
county. Pensacola has always fur
nished one member for the house and
sometimes two and that member-as
far back almost as we can remember
has always been a lawyer.
We have nothing in the world
against the lawyers. They are, on the
whole, pretty good class of citizens.
proportion OF lawyers in our law-mak.
ing bodies was entirely too large.
Representation should be divided so
as to give somebody else chance.
Other callings in life outside of the
legal profession ought to send a man
to the legislature and to congress oc-
casionally.
Well, at last we have business
man candidate for the legislature from
Escambia county, and The Journal is
gratified that its long efforts to induce
such man to become a candidate
have at last borne fruit. The Journal
alone probably did not induce Mr.. Jen-
nings to run, but we believe that the
sentiment created by this paper was
largely responsible for the demand for
such a man. And what better man
could have made the race than T. A.
Jennings?
There is little doubt that Mr.. Jen.
nings will be elected, but The Journal
wants to express the hope that he will
be elected by a very large majority.
He should go to Tallahassee with a
strong public support back of him. Il
will enable him to accomplish more
when he gets there. No man In Flor
ida understands the conditions, desires
and needs of the people of Florida
better than does Mr.. jennings. And
no man in Florida will be better able
to care for those needs at Tallahassee
than will this energetic, broad-minded
and successful Florida business man.
That Is why The Journal wants him
to have big vote from this county.
Also big vote will confirm The Jour-
nails long opinion that business man
from Escambia county occasionally is
what the people want.

Pass the Chicken
Ordinance.

The Journal last week had its fun
over the proposed chicken ordinance
There was OF course an amusing side
to the question, but there is, also. a
serious phase to it. Now that the or.
dinance Is to come up for second read
ing at the meeting of the council to-
night, The Journal wishes to express
its hope that the measure will pass.
There Is no bigger nuisance and
nothing more provoking than flock of
neighboring chickens feeding and
cackling in another's yard or garden.
Most assuredly then, those who wish
to keep chickens should not object to
keeping their fowls on their own
premises. Why should you permit
your domestic fowls of all kinds to
needlessly annoy your neighbors? It
II not his business to furnish the gar
den and Fairgrounds for something
which is yours and from which only
you are to be benefited.
The chicken ordinance Is indeed a
worthy one and we should like to see
tt pass without opposition.
