ELIMINATES ON THE
PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE

Bluff Springs, Fla. Feb. Is, 1911.
Editor Pensacola Journal.
Will you kindly allow me room for a
few thoughts that suggested them
selves to me WHILE as my old friend
Bill Arp used to say, I was ruminat-
ing upon things in the past, present
and future. Well, we know the past,
are face to face with the present, but
the future, which no mar can read,
the veil Of which no hand has ever lift
ed. we know will yield q harvest, the
seeds Of which we are now and have
been sowing.
The present, how infinitely more i'm
portant than either past or future, for
1t is ours. We are enjoying the de-
lightful spring weather, can almost
fancy we hear the buds bursting, see
the trees unfolding their silken BAN
ners to the breeze, look from our win
dows at great bowers of yellow jessa-
mine and enjoy with the children love-
ly bouquets of wild violets fresh from
the woods, and the skies, Bill Arp
used to say, Florida skies reminded
him of Italy's.
Bluff Springs is not altogether in
tolerable these lovely days, the farm

into Office by their friends they should
have passed the good work on. Uncle
Frank put good deal Of ginger into
his remarks and we felt real proud Of
him when we read his burning words.
The Pensacola Journal copies ap-
provingly what Uncle Frank said and
pours q little brine into the burrows
he plowed In upon guilty backs with
his editorial CATO nine-tails, conclud-
ing thus: "Apolitical migrate is con-
temptible in the eyes of honest peo-
pie" There are two sides to this sort
Of thing. It would be dangerous, as
well as possibly impertinent. to dive
too deeply into the personal features
Of the late senatorial campaign, but
we would be pleased to know who
were the men that We're under such
deep obligations to Messrs, Blount
and Bryan that silence meant rank
ingratitude. We are pretty sure that
most of the men whom these gentle
men had aided on previous occasions
pitched in and plugged with all their
might for their respective preferences,
and we refer to Claude L,Engle for
confirmation.
And there is yet another phase to
the condition suggested by Uncle
Frank that deserves consideration. It
has been handsomely illustrated more
often in Florida than you have fingers
and toes. When one set of politicians
have been elected by the aid of their
friends and those friends have lat er
aspired and been successful by the aid
of their previously elected friends
there has promptly and vigorously
arisen an uproar about political rings,
clfques, admiration societies, close cor
porations in Office holding, and such
undesirable things as to make the
heads Of everybody swim and the pop
ular george rise to an extent that you
could notice it on the sidewalks. TAX
ing 1t altogether, fore and aft, by and
large, upright and downright, it might
be the fact that it Is really our duty
to rejoice and be exceeding glad that
sundry and several of the political
noise makers elected to be silent and
let the struggle be fought to it's con-
clusion without adding to the din and
dust and perspiration.
And merely as making full meas
ure, it may be suggested that graft
tude has been defined, especially in
politics. as lively sense Of favors
to come" which might be taken to
disqualify it from a high place or
the list Of political virtues, etc.

DEATH FOR "HOLDUPS"
AND HOUSE ROBBERS
Live Oak Democrat.
- ~ 20 .


The Pensacola journal advocates the
death penalty for criminals who make
their way into residence houses for
purposes Of robbery, and we endorse
what 1t says on the subject and hope
the next legislature will enact the
recommendation into law, the extreme
penalty, of course. attaching only to
aggravated cases. And it would be all
right If highway robbers, or "hold-
ups" as they are commonly called,
were also made to suffer the same
punishment. We have no patience
with the sentimentalism which holds
up its soft white hands in horror at
the death penalty for any crime what
evr, even murder of the most revolving
character. Our sympathies go out to
the murdered victims and the widows
and orphans, and feeling sure that
these murderers, house breakers and
hold-ups are, for the most part, in
durable degenerates and that human
life and social order are in constant
peril from their presence among US,
we would gladly see the law get busy
and hang them just as fast as they
can be caught and tried. Here is what
The Journal says:
"A neighboring state has passed a
law making robbing house a crime
which may be punished by life impris-
onment or death. Usually when q thief
enters a residence where human be-
ings are sleeping, with the intention
Of committing robbery, he will commit
murder If he Is cornered. in order to
escape the hands Of the law, and the
new law Is based on that fact. Laws
similar to this one should be passed
in all states, for few criminals are
meaner than the one who will de-
liberately plan to enter a residence to
commit robbery and probably murder
II he Is thwarted in his plan to steal.
Murder committed in the heat Of pas
sion Is sometimes excusable. but the
criminal who deliberately plans the
entering Of homes where they may be
only women, is one of the most dan
gerous Of criminals and deserves to
die at the hands of the law II capital
punishment is justifiable in any case" "

A FIRE ALARM
WAS TURNED IN

Yesterday afternoon at 2:55 a fire
alarm was turned in and the depart
ment called out on account of a small
blaze at 33 South Manresa street. The
fire did not amount to anything and
was quickly extinguished, but attracted
quite number of people to the neigh
borhood Of the house from which It
was turned in.
The house which caught fire was a
small negro shack, and the fire was
caused from a spark falling on the
roof The only damage done was two
or three shingles burned.

The Journal does not take much
stock in the boil weevil plot which is
seeming to worry many of the south
ern papers. The boil weevil seems to
be travelling eastward and unless some
remedy is provided to check the al
vance 1t will gradually spread over the
entire cotton growing district, but We
cannot believe that there is plot to
spread the pests by shipping them into
states of the southeast in order to ruin
the cotton industry. The theory Of the
plot probably originated in the mind >oc
some sensationalist who sent the re-
port to those who gave 1t credence,
but we cannot believe any set Of men
interruptions enough to deliberately
import the weevil to the parts remote
from its attack.
