A good many Florida Democrats are
p1 otesting because We are having too
many elections. Elections take a
great deal of time and money and the
sentiment seems to be that they are
taking too much Of each in this state.
There have been two senatorial pri-
maries in the state this year. In the
first no one was chosen and in the
next Governor Broward was elected.
Death removed Mr.. Broward and that
means that we will soon have at least
one more senatorial primary. How
ever, the people believe in the primary
plan in making nominations and the
only way to remedy the existing con-
Gitions will be to devise some plan to
make the elections less costly.

A republican opponent launched the
fight to keep Caleb Powers from
having his seat in congress. The
Democrats are paying no attention to
this row, seeming to be satisfied to
let Caleb take his seat, just as an
example of the depths to which the
republican party in the south will de-
scend. 1t will be remembered that a
number of years ago, MI. Brigham
Roberts, very able and remarkably
brilliant man was elected to congress
from the new state OF Utah. There
was no doubt of the fairness and
honesty of his election, but unfor-
tunately Mr.. Roberts was high Of
fetal in the Mormon church and was
living in polygamy. For his polyg-
amous life. he was expelled from con.
gress after he had been sworn in and
had taken his seat. Powers was con-
victed of being a conspirator in the
assassination of Governor Goebel, OF
Kentucky. He was three times found
guilty of murder and actually served
more than seven years in the state
penitentiary. He Was pardoned by a
partisan republican governor and the
republicans Of his district "vindicated'
him, or "vindicated" the assassina-
ton of the governor, by electing the
thrice convicted murderer to congress.
We do not know what congress will
do or how strong an effort the repub-
licans viii, make to keep Powers out
Of congress.

Work AS a Unit.

All the vital forces of Pensacola will
now work together for the betterment
Of the city. It is practically assured
that the new organization which will
take the place Of the several present
commercial organizations of the city
will have at least $4,000 for the first
year to spend in the exploitation of
the advantages of the Deep Water
City. What Pensacola has lacked for
a long time has been unanimity of
purpose. Many Of the leading spirits
have dreamed that the time would
Pensacola would work together for a
common cause and now it looks as IL
this dream will come true. There is
not a shadow of doubt that a strong
central organization will be formed
that will work tremendously for the
improvement of the civic conditions
and that it will have a working CAPT.
tai of at least $40 900 for the first year,
1t will have much more later on, but
with capital of $4,000 many big
things may be accomplished.
The work has only just begun. The
committee on organization has a big
work ahead of it. 1t must harmonic
all the differences that have existed
in Pensacola and it must perfect an
organization in which all the business
people Of Pensacola have absolute con-
fidence.
AS was so truthfully said at the
mass meeting Friday night, it is no,
altogether to our great natural ad-
vantages that we must look but to
the people themselves.
1t is confidently given out that
great trunk line of railroad will soon
build into Pensacola: but if it should
not Pensacola must build out 20 the
trunk line.
We need factories and industries OF
all kinds. This is the logical point
for them, but the men who have the
building of these things must be
shown and told that this is the proper
place for them.
Mayor Reilly, who was chairman of
the mass meeting Friday night, yes

necessary for the first years CAM

preached, will be liberal in subscrib-
ing Nothing has been said SO far as
to what will be the name of the new
organization or who will be it's Of
ficers and board o; directors. These
things will be left to the new organ

The first thing to be accomplished
is to raise the necessary amount and

A Philadelphia judge sent a grocer
to prison for selling food unfit to be
eaten. The grocer expected fine and
said he vas guilty and would pay the
maximum fine but that a man in his
position should not be sent to Jail.
This judge had little regard for posi-
ton and the grocer who was literally
poisoning his customers, went to the
bastile. A few Jail sentences all along
the line would help some.

Bourne. Jr., has evolved the best sys-

WESTERN UNION ADOPTS
OCEAN MAIL SERVICE

The Western Union Telegraph com
pany announced today another nova
ton in its telegraph service, called the
special ocean mail service" Desig-
mated to save time in foreign cores
pondence. A letter from San Fran
cisco to London requires as much time
crossing the continent as it does cross
ing the ocean. A New York merchant
writing to Yokohoma must post his
letter practically a week before the
mail steamer sails from SanFransico
to Van Couver.
The Western Union has arranged
for the use of its night letter and other
telegraphic service in connecting with
outgoing ocean mails so that this
week of trans-continental time may be
saved.
Its New York Office will receive tel
egrams from any part of the country
destined to European addresses and
will forward them in sealed special
delivery addressed envelope by the
first outgoing Atlantic steamship mail.
The same plan will be followed in
San Francisco, Seattle and Vancouver
for trans Pacific mails.
This will enable correspondence to
be dispatched from any part of the
United States for an ocean mail within
a few hours of sailing time.
The only charge in addition to the
Itelegraphic tolls to the ocean mail
port will be. five cents for postage.
