Escarnbia County
In the Legislature.

Escambia county has been fortunate
in years gone by in her selection Of
men to represent the county in the
house and the senate Of the state
legislature. We trust that she may be
equally as fortunate in the coming
session.
So far there has been but one an
nouncement-that of John P. Stokes,
who is a candidate for the senate. Mr..
Stokes made an admirable record in
the house two years ago and he has a
great many friends who would be glad
to help promote him to the higher Of
fee to which he now aspires. Whether
he will have opposition or not remains
to be seen, several other gentlemen
having been mentioned in connection
with the position, but none so far hav-
ing announced.
For the lower house, two representa-
tives must be selected. If precedent
is followed. one will come from the
country and one from the city. The
country can no doubt be relied upon
to OFFER some good material. The city
will probably offer some good men as
well, but who they will be is at pres
ent a difficult question. We should
have, If possible, a business man for
one representative and The Journal
trusts that some business man will OF.

closely tied down to their own affairs

Here's Where We Blush,

Again we second the nomination OF
a Florida editor to the legislature
this time Frank L. Mayes, Of The Pen
sacola Journal, who has been suggest
ed as good timber for state senator
from Escambia. Indeed he Is, and II
he should go to the senate he would
take rank there as one of the strongest
men in that body. He has ability Of
high order, and force Of character to
back it up and make it useful, and
what he doesn't know about Escambia
and its legislative needs We dare say
has not yet been revealed to any other
potential senator in that county. In
addition, Mr.. Mayes has the polish,
tact, and suavity that sit SO becom.
ingly upon a law-maker and Is a con-
spicuous type of that class of optimis-

upon which Florida must chiefly rely
to make her a great commonwealth.
Escambia would do herself a mighty
fine turn to send Frank Mayes to the
state senate, and that level head Of his
would do good service to the state
generally.-Suwanee Democrat.

Betty Vincent writes a column each
day for press syndicate which is sold
to various newspapers over the coun-
try. She writes on themes touching
the human heart, hence she Is never

are written her asking for advice on

man has asked me to go to the theatre
with him and have accepted. Is it
all right to go, and what do I order
for supper afterward?'
If you know the young man to be a
gentleman there is no harm in your
accepting his theatre invitation. Or

ice after the. theatre.
The trouble 90 about Miss Vincent
is. she is too brutality frank. Now II
she had any feeling for her fellow
man she would have told that inno-
cent girl to order a cheese sandwich
and pickles. The suggestion she
makes would cost man fully fifteen
cents more than the one we have
named. Betty ought to teach her girl
friends that the first law of nature

The Great
Question of the Day.

Well, say, how about the fellow who
is making only s1O0 and s1.50 per
day? Only twenty-six working days
in a month you know. He has a wife
and perhaps two or three little ones.
Under present conditions, 1t is a mys-
terry how they live for less than SIS or
$50 per month for groceries alone.
Then there is the house rent question
"a fat item, too. The family must
have new shoes and new clothes occa-
sionally, not to mention the usual
amount of yearly sickness that comes
to the average family. Besides there
are other Incidental expenses that can
not be lodged.
Again, with sadness, we ask, what
about the pathetic plight of this great
army of people? What will be their
condition ten years hence, when the
husband is old and doty and can no
longer make the daily struggle?
We cannot ask the opinion of the
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES gang on the sit,
uation, for they are not sufficiently in
terested in the matter to have given
that phase of it any consideration.
Only those of good peroeptive facul-
ties and human heart can grasp a
feint idea of what is in store for us
ten years hence il the full dinner
pail (?) adherents remain in power
as they have for the past twenty years.

Cheaper Rates Desired.

If the Florida orange growers can
not get some redress from the inter-
state commerce commission from
transportation companies, the indus
try, with large crops, will never again
be profitable to them. The railroads
and steamship lines pocketed from a
third to half of the total for which
the present crop sold In the market.
Notwithstanding commissions, rail-
roads, it seems, are permitted to
charge the farmer, grower and truck
er about what they please. Another
thing: An Irish potato grower at Sc
vile, in the north end of this county,
pays 80 cents freight on a barrel of
potatoes to his commission house in

dence Of an abiding faith in their city.
But the improvements in the bust
ness district are only resting through
the winter season. There have been
some very imposing structures erect
ed there within the past year, notably
the American National Bank building,
of ten stories. and just as elegant
within as 1t is attractive without, and
the San Carlos hotel, a hostelry which
would be creditable to any city OF 100,.
600 population. The city has expend-
ed about 100000 within the past year
in street paving and contemplates a
continuance of the good work.

fore the slogan Of 100000 population

Pensacola has many things that are
attractive to visitors. Among them her
beautiful bay, the finest on the guilt
coast: her spacious docks. at which
the ships of many nations anchor;
Fort Barrancas, the interesting study
of Spanish dominion; the navy yard
the light house, and many Others
which could not be visited In our limit
ed stay.
But over Pensacola's Mardi Gras we
are not able to enthuse. We could
see nothing In it instructing, elevating
or ennobling. 1t appears to be only
an annual occasion for excessive
crowds, great hilarity and superficial
fun. The city is unquestionably
thrown wide open and more wicked
ness is begotten in the lower haunts
Of life on those two days than a cen
fury can eradicate.
Pensacola is deserving of a visit OF
ten thousand people, yea more, and OF
her. holiday fetes, but if she would ap
ply the same amount OF skill and
money in the exploitation of her in

relic of paganism, her own immediate
returns would be greater and the
