LIQUORS. PART IN
THE LAST ELECTION
Nashville Tennesseean.
Q % q Q Q >>>>>

Several signal victories were won
by the temperance forces in the re-
cent election.
In Oklahoma they defeated a pro-
posed local option amendment to the
constitution by a terrific vote, and
sustained the statewide law.
In Washington all five of the con-
gressional delegations are pledged to
vote for an amendment to the inter-
state commerce law which will pre-
vent the shipping Of liquor into dry
territory. Many cities in that state,
including Bellingham and Everett,
were also swept into the dry column.
Gov. Stubs reelection in Kansas
was a triumph for the temperance
forces. as he has enforced the pro-
hibition law so strictly that all the
national liquor organizations sent
Hobbies into Kansas AMI furnished
money to be used in driving him out
of public life. But he exposed the
whiskey lobby. gained the Republi-
can nomination in the face of bribery
and then won the election.
Dahlman's defeat in Nebraska was
another victory for the forces of law
and order. AS mayor of Omaha Dahl
man has spurned the strict laws en-.
acted for the regulation of the liquor
traffic. He entered the campaign for
governor as the avowed candidate of
the saloon and the lawbreaker. Mr..

Every Mans Interests
Bid Him Be There.

More than passing notice should be
given by every business man IN Pen
sacola to tho announcement OF
special meeting Of the citizens OF this
community tonight in the auditorium
of the San Carlos hotel. under the
auspiccs Of the Chamber Of Commerce.
in fact, serious consideration should
be given every effort for progress
made by the management OF the
Chamber of Commerce. because the
very theory upon which the organiza-
ton Is based is that it stands for the
interests. direct or indirect, of every
man doing business here.
This meeting is called primarily for
the purpose Of having Mr.. Edwin L..
Quarles, secretary of the Southern
Commercial congress, address the peo-
pie of Pensacola on the subject of Or
ganized effort for city building.
The Chamber of Commerce has
taken advantage of the visit to this
city Of man who has for years made
commercial organization work pro-
fession. He has visited the most sue
cessful organizations, has made a
study Of the methods that have made
them successful. and after looking into
our local situation is prepared to tell
us some things that may mean much
to tie future Of Pensacola.
il, addition to discussing the rela-
tionship Of the local commercial body
to community development, Mr..
Quarles will explain the purposes of
the southwide organization of which
he has been secretary since its birth.
Let all the men of Pensacola come
together tonight. show their interest
in the future Of their city, and learn
something Of how other communities
are forging ahead through their com
mercal bodies.

part of the North and West bitter,
singing winter, with plenty of snow
and ice, has settled down, and in its
unrelaxing grasp that region will
remain until next April, with out
door farm work all suspended. Com
pare that with a Florida winter, and
note how every advantage is with
this State And in diversity of prod
ucts, cheapness of lands and num-
Der of crops per year the advantage
is equally marked.
If Florida were only advertised in
the persistent. systematic way in
which Kansas and other parts of the
West were brought to public atten-
ton not very many years ago, we
would see the same marvellous move
ment of population to this State that
was witnessed in the west at that
time when every train was crowded
with homeseekers, and vast areas OF
land were settled SO quickly with
thrifty farmers that it was almost
incredible. We do not hesitate to
say. with knowledge of both sections,
that Florida is the better country
and has many advantages over any
part of the West as a desirable land
to live in. The next decade is going
to see such changes in this State,
even without the magnificent pub
licity the West got. that the man who
leaves it now and comes back ten
years hence for the first time will
hardly believe the testimony of his
own eyes.
Florida was made by nature to be a
great blooming garden, the chief
beauty spot of America, rich. snil-
ing, highly developed land from sea
to sea and from Georgia to the Keys,
and she will realize that destiny
within a generation. What simple
tons We landless ones are not to
begin right now, when land is cheap,
to put our surplus earnings into the
eternal acres all around US, and thus
enter the company of the true and
only sovereigns of the earth-the
men who own the soil!

The Basis of Congressional
Apportionment.

Every ten years. when the census
has been completed, congress makes
"a new apportionment as a basis for
representation in the house of repre-
sentatives.
The constitution provides that rep
resentatives shall be apportioned
among the several states according
to their respective numbers and the
only restrictions are that the number
shall not exceed one for every 10000
and that each state shall have at least
one representative. The ratio Of in
habitants to representatives, with the
membership Of the house, has pro-
crossed as shown in the following
table. Included in the membership to-
tails are the representatives allotted
to new states admitted after the va
rious appointments had been made,
as, for instance, five members from
the new state Of Oklahoma:

The Foreign Parcels Post
And Our Policy.

Some time ago, The journal called
attention to the ridiculous postal
policy which enables Pensacolian to
mail package TO a foreign country
for t. cents a pound. but makes him
pay Is cents "a pound for the same
package mailed TO DeF'uniak. Even
then. -four pounds Is tho limit on the
domestic package while II pounds
may no mailed to foreign points.
The Nashville Tennesscan states
the situation in even more striking
terms in the following:
The strange anomaly is seen daily
on the streets of New York city of
wagons in the pay of the German gov
eminent going about collecting pack
ages for the parcels post to that coun.
try. The anomaly consists I'M the fact
that the American people are offered
by a foreign power n service which
their own government refuses to per.
form for them. Thus. a package
weighing pounds may be sent by
this German service for ~ cents a
pound. while the United States would
not carry a package of the same
weight in this country at all, the limit
on mailable matter here being four
pounds and the postage Is cents a
pound. The result of this is that a
package may be sent from San Fran
cisco to Persia. China or Berlin which
would not be permitted in the mails
going from New Orleans to Atlanta.
To make the illustration still more
striking: a package that Uncle Sam
would not, for any consideration,
transport from New York across the
bridge to Brooklyn can be brought by
parcels post from Berlin to Brooklyn!
Tho remedy for this absurd condition
lies with the people themselves
through their congressman. hut there
are some mighty interests" to subdue
before any relief can he secured.
The express business is too profit.
able. and the representatives of the
express companies have been too nj.
merous in congress to permit this gov.
ernment to do for our own people
what foreign governments are doing
for their people and what. under ON
foreisn postal agreement. we our.
selves are doing for foreign people.
The republican party, in power for
nearly half century. has failed to
establish a parcels post in this coun
try and the reason therefor is tina.
a large part of its campaign fund has
always come from the express con-
panies and. in addition. the members
Of congress have been accustomed tC
accept brides in the form Of express
ranking privileges.
The democratic party can and viii
inauyurate new policy when it once
gets into power.
