Of pavement city like Pensacola should have and we
want to catch up while the present generation can

Reason Two-Pensacola's great need to-day is more

with money will invest it in a dapdated looking
town. He does not have There too many attrac-

der her last bond issue has done to attract favorable
attention than any other thing that the city has ac
complished Only haven't enough of it. The proposed
bond issue will give enough paving for the present at
least.

Southampton, June 10.-Theodore
Roosevelt, homeward bound. sailed
on the Hamburg American line steam
er Kaiserin Auguste Victoria shortly
after noon. The steamer is due at
Quarantine, n. Y, on the night of
June II, but the former president
will not land in New York until the
following morning.

self on the final lap of what in many
respects has been the most remarka-
BILE trip accomplished by a private
citizen. At the head of the Smith
Bonian African scientific expedition
the former chief executive Of the
United States sailed on the steamer
Hamburg from New York, March %.
1909.
Arriving at Naples. he transferred
to the steamer Admiral and continued
his journey, stopping at Messina,
where he met King Victor Emmanuel
of Italy.
He arrived at Mombasa on April 81
and soon afterwards the notable hunt
ing expedition was begun, resulting
in an unprecedented collection of
African trophies.
On March IA Mr.. Roosevelt emerg-
ed from the jungle. arriving at Khar-
tum where he met Mrs. Roosevelt and
their daughter. Ethel.
Throughout his African journey,
Mr., Roosevelt was accompanied by
his son Kermit.
SPEECHES CAUSED COMMENT.
Following the hunt, Mr.. Roosevelt
was occupied with series of
sneeehes that have excited lively in
tekest throughout the world. Also
at this time was begun a program
OF entertainments in his honor such
as had perhaps never before been
arranged for one who had retired to
private life. At Cairo he approved
of the British rule and talked plainly
to the nationalists.
Then followed the exchanges with
the vatican which resulted in his
abandonment fthe requested audi
ence with the pope. At Paris he de-
lievered an address at the Sarbonne
At Christiana he addressed the Nobel
prize committee. He spoke before
royalty at Berlin, and was a guest of
Emperor William.
He went to London as special am.
bassador at the royal funeral. In
spite of the curtailment of his pro-
gram at the British capitol on ac-
count Of King Edwards death. it was
ut Guild Hall In London that he made
the speech that attracted more at.
tention than any of his other ad-
dresses abroad. Here touching on
British rule In Egypt, he mildly
criticized what he conceived to be a
tendency to leniency not justified by
the present political conditions of the
African dependency
His final day in England was one
OF seclusion and rest.
Today Mr.. Roosevelt said he had
been refreshed by his trip in the
country. He had been thoroughly
worn out by his exertions since his
arrival here.

er. He spoke in advocacy of a pro-
vision of the bill authorizing the ex-

penses for an automobile for Speaker

ed in the case of the allowance pro-
posed for Vice-President Sherman S
