Pensacola. Fla. March 81. 1s11

Pensacola, Fla, March 81, 1911.
Editor Pensacola Journal:
Your article of yesterday, reporting
Wednesday nights meeting of the Pen
sacola Commercial Association, states
that I spoke against the resolution Of
fered by Mr.. w. H. Watson. Your re-
porter misunderstood or got mixed as
to the facts
When, at this meeting, the president
Mr.. w. K. Hyer, Jr., requested some
lawyer to state the law governing the
question, responded. I did not dis
cuss the moral side of the question, nor
express any opinion as to the influences
which must have induced the legisla-
ture to pass the obnoxious act which
was repealed by the last legislature
not to go off the statute books, how
ever, until May the first of this year.
At the time I addressed the meeting
no resolution or motion was before it;
and merely suggested that under the
present law all we could do would be
to see that the parties Offering to en-
gage in pool selling were legally incor-
porated, and that pool selling be con-
fined to the race track. This was the
substance of the subsequent motion
made by Mr.. Watson, which seconded
and for which I voted.
The argument that it would now be
unjust to interfere with the racins
people because they have been allowed
to come here without opposition so far
is clearly unsound. 1t is just as rea-
sonable to argue that unless the pick

Where Fines
Fail to Count.

There are many instances where Jail
sentences and not money fines are adj
vocated for certain people and The
Journal is a hearty advocate of this
punishment for it does not believe that
a fine win prevent some crimes though
JAIN sentence works wonderful results.
A very fitting example of the folly
Of fining some people is in the case Of
the negro. Jack Johnson. for speeding
his automobile. Many times he has
been fined and he continues to speed
and endanger the lives of those on the
streets. He is fined nearly every week,
but he has the money to pay his fines
and seems to enjoy the privilege of
contributing to the municipal courts.
The dispatches yesterday telling
where a superior court had affirmed
the decision Of a lower court which
gave him Jail sentence of twenty five
days for speeding, was received with
pleasure by those all over the country
who are daily expecting to hear of the
big negro running over some one AMI
probably killing the person.
The San Francisco judge was right
In giving the pugilist jail sentence
and when the negro has spent twenty
nve days in jail he viii have reached
the conclusion that he can so at n
slower speed than heretofore.
Unless the sentence is allowed TO
stand the negro win continue to drive
his car reckIessly down the crowded
streets. and sooner or later someone
win be hurt If not killed. 1t is a re-
Election upon the ability OF the officers
and courts to allow the repeated
breaking Of the laws and it should be
stopped. It will be too late to remedy
the matter after someone is killed.
The Jail sentence should stand and
the example might well be followed In
other cases where the fine is not suf-
