THE NEW BOND ISSUE

Pensacola, Fla, June II, 1910.
Editor Pensacola Journal.
Let us have a chat in regard to the
bond question.
First-Do the taxpayers realize
that we have an old bond indebted
ness of ($246,800) two hundred and
forty-six thousand eight hundred
dollars, bearing six per cent interest
which will have to be met in a short
time.
Second-(s75O,0 ,0oo) seven hundred
and fifty thousand dollars now in
operation for the present improve
ments.
Third - (s2OO, ,ooO) two hundred
thousand dollars approximately for
the new county Jail.
Fourth-($35O,0G three hundred
and fifty thousand to be voted for
on Tuesday next, making a grand to-
tai of ($1,546,S00) one million, five
hundred and forty-six thousand and
eight hundred dollars.
am in favor of improvements and
progress, but / do not believe now
is the time to pass the present new
bond issue.
The taxpayers will begin to realize
their position in regards to this mat
Ter when tn6y VIII nave 10 make Lne
first payments on the bonds in the
shape of taxes in the coming fall.
Many poor people who are making
payments on their homes now
through the building and loan COM
panies and mortgages will be bur-
dened with the excessive payments
and taxes and many will have to sac.
rifice what they have paid on their
homes to meet their obligations.
By all means vote against the is
suance of more bonds at this time.

Let us hope that the like of it will not

capability, instead of appeals to preju-
dice of the classes. .

Won on Merit.

Won on Merit.
From all accounts Senator Taliaferro
seemed to possess the party machinery
and the men who controlled" were as
rule in his interest. The big lumber
and naval stores combinations were
expected to line up behind them. Sem
ator @Taliaferro seemed to be the ex-
ponent of an up-to-date commercial de-
mocracy. Governor Broward made his
campaign largely upon his own hook.
He went around canvassing for gov
ernor two years ago on a sort of still
hunt. He used personal effort and
personal appeal. The big meetings
and the speechmaking seemed to be
all in the Taliaferro interest. Mem
bers of congress came home to speak
for Taliaferro and the powers that be-
were generally ranged on that side.
And the victory of Governor Broward
was very largely the result of per
sonal effort and merit and he is to be
ongratulated.-Colu Ledger.

We are indebted to the Shreveport
Times for the following bit of inter
esting information:
Bull CON-" a slang phrase which
means to fiatter, to praise with ulterior
motives, had it's origin in the west
years ago. When the gold brick game
was started the bunko men sprang a
fine, high-sounding combination of
words upon the simple farmers. They
called it an investment in bullion con-
soIidated." Years after the words were
cut own to bull CON-" and came to
mean any graft that depended upon
the gift of CAB.
We would feel under obligations to
the Times or some other worthy con-
temporary to go further and tell the
world something of the derivation of
pipe de cop"-or just ''pipe"-"dope"
and few other slang phrases equally
as familiar.

The Miami News-Record, a support
er of Mr.. Taliaferro in the late pri-
mary, seems to be deeply affected over
the result. From a column comment
on Mr.. Broward We take the para
graph following, which for downright
puerile rot is hard to beat:
Broward, himself, has oft proclaimed
from the stump that the solid country
people were unpurchaseable. That
may readily be believed, and is abso-
lutely true. The only floating, pur-
chasable vote is in the large cities,
and the returns from Jacksonville,
Pensacola and Tampa show that the
Broward management secured that
vote.
II the floating, purchaseable vote"
was so easy to buy in the three cities
named, and Broward bought them,
why is it that he didn't buy a few
more-enough to give him a majority
in at least one city? Mr.. Broward did
not carry either of these cities and if
he had it would be small of his
enemies to insinuate that he bought
his majority. The Journal sympa-
thizes with its disappointed brethren,
but we regret to see some of our con-
temporaries display such rancor as
shown by the News-Record. Such is
not the democratic spirit.

Man Who Does Things.
Mr.. Broward is a man Of the people.
He has come up from the ranks, and
so far as we know he is a compare
lively poor man. In view of the fact
that he has shown himself to be such
consummate politician he stands
very good chance Of being one of Flor
ldas senators for a good many years.
Mr.. Broward has impressed Florida
as man who does things. In the va
rious positions he has held he has
made himself conspicuous by giving
expression to new ideas and by acting
in accordance with them. 1t is probat
Bile that his work in connection with
the drainage of the Everglades did
more than any other one thing to
recommend him to the people for sen.
ator. He prosecuted that work in thS
face of great deal of opposition, but
opposition didn't discourage him or
make him doubt the feasibility of
draining that great swamp section or
the state and making it a source of
revenue. Mr.. Broward has a
chance of rendering his state great
service. 1t is a growing state and
needs many things for it's develop
ment. Mr.. Broward will not be
| maker of great speeches, but if he
gives his close attention to the busi-
ness end of his legislative duties his
constituents will not remember that
he is not great orator and Scholar

Regrets TaIiaferro's Defeat.

We are inclined to regard the defeat
of Mr.. Taliaferro as harmful to the
south. He is an able man and he has
served ably in the senate. He had
many good appointments on the COM
mittees, and was in position to be of
the utmost assistance to his state, his
party and the south. There was no
great question at issue between the
candidates. Broward stood for nothing
of real importance that Taliaferro did
not stand for. Broward simply wanted
to be senator and that was the only
question, so far as we could see, before
the voters. The new senator is an
able man, although inclined to dem
agogy and not a clear thinker. More
over, it will be years before he can
hope to have the influence in Washing

The colonel has already launched

is lowering around the disloyal faces

Broward a campaigner.

Broward a campaigner.
In Napoleon B. Broward Florida has
a citizen who has proven himself a
great campaigner and who is man
of distinct personality. He has at his
fingertips a wealth of statistical infor-
nation concerning harbor and water
ways improvements. A great trust
has been reposeu in Capt. Broward
and he has been given the opportunity
to make good in the nations highest
council. He owes it to the state to
give it the best of his ability as its
senator.
Senator Taliaferro leaves the senate
next year with a record behind him of
twelve years of faithful service for his
state. A man of character and ability
he leaves behind him a record of SER
vice in Washington which will always
reflect fullest credit to him. Those
who may have assailed this record in
the heat of the campaign will in the
cooler moments of after-ref1ection
agree that it is strong and that it
shows full we'll that his efforts have
lconstantly been exerted for the best
good of his constituents. Mr.. Talia-
ferro will continue to hold place
high in the esteem of his fellow citi-
zens and as a citizen he will continue
to be strong factor in Florida's up
bulding.-St. Augustine Record.

What We wish to say to you, and to

be fixed by passion or prejudice, but
by our conception of the duty a news

it, and the Times-Union, while some
times winning and sometimes losing
in politics, whether winning or losing
is sustained by the people of Florida,
and they are sustaining it literally.

may meet again in political combat, or
We may sometimes do one and some
times the other. Which shall predom-

Mexico City. Nov. 10.-Repressive
measures adopted by the Mexican au-

of yesterdays scenes in the city and
resulted in a day of comparative
tranquility.
An attempt of the demonstrators to
gather late this afternoon in the
neignborhood of the new National
theater was discouraged by the
mounted police, who kept the crowds
moving. The foreign office assured
Ambassador Wilson there would be no
repetition of the rioting. Strict orders
had been given the police, Minister
Creel said, to prevent even if vigorous
measures We're necessary, gatherings
on the streets. Visits were exchanged
between Creel and the American am
bassadOr during the day and a verbal
reply was given by the former to Will
sons urgent message of yesterday
concerning the insult to the United
States flag. and American citizens.
The nature of the reply Mr. Wilson
declined to divulge but intimated that
the same when put in writing and
normally transmitted. will show a

Assurances were also given that
several newspapers whose utterances
had melted the demonstrations which
developed the riots would be sup

attempt had been made on the life
