Put the Loan Sharks
Out Of Business.

Two years ago The Journal took somewhat prom
inent part awakening public sentiment in support of the
anoan-shark bill which Representative John p Stokes
succeeded getting through the legislature 1t was hoped
that the enactment of this bill would result in the emna
of the abuses and oppression incident and growing
of the business of making loans to the poor and
INDECENT.
Although the law passed nearly two years ago,
little no effort has been made make it effective
law not enforced is dead1etter Now that of the
engaged in this business has been tried and convicted
in the Court of Record Judge Beggs presiding and the
eonstitutionay and practcabiliy of this law demon
strated by all let its enforcement be continued
There is neither necessity excuse for the loan
shark business in this community and if the sheriff and
the county solicitor do their full duty there ought to
be any more of it.

vile is represented there, and neither
has had anything in its columns save
the briefest and most superficial men
ton of it
Mention is made Of this for the pur-
pose of directing the attention of the
great" newspapers of Jacksonville to
the fact and for the further reason of
calling the attention of the people to
this monumental failure of those pa
pers to cover the field which they essay
to cover.
The great Everglades reclamation
policy is one which the Jacksonville
dailies fought from the beginning be-
cause of their dislike for Governor
Broward, and a continuation of their
-littleness to this time is simply in line
with their well known policy in all
matters which do not meet their ap-
proval. If Uncle Henry Flagler had
been locating some 1000 to 5000 peo-
pie In South Florida. the Times-Union
and the Metropolis would have shouted
themselves hoarse over it. If there's
not a reason, there's at least a dis-
ference.

Pension the Widows
For Their Services.

Recognizing the fact that a woman
in giving children to the country does
the greatest service to be rendered to
the world. the Texas Federation Of
Women's Clubs is going to ask the
legislature to pension the widows in
order that they may properly educate
and train their children to become
good and substantial citizens.
The cause is such worthy one that
it is hard to realize why anyone should
object to the plan. Surely the Iegisla-
ture ought to be willing to pension the
women who are unable to take care Of
their offspring. when upon these chill
dren the very existence of a state or
country depends.
This is in line with what the advo-
Gates of the child labor movement urge
when taking the little ones from the
work shops and factories. One without
the other would be incomplete, and
F1orida's legislature ought to bear this
in mind when it takes action in the
matter next month.
The many women's clubs Of the state
viii find this a very fine movement in
which to work. When a woman Is left
with several little children without
relatives or means of support she is
either compelled to have the little ones
work or leave them at a tender age
when a mothers influence is so neces.
sary, to the care of an unskiIled nurse
while she. goes out to work for enough
to make existence possible.
These women should be cared for
The criminals Of the country are giver
every possible care by the state. but
the women who are left unprovided fol-
! are not now provided with any help.

Why the Dogs
Should Be Muzzled.

With summer coming In few more
weeks it is now time some action was
taken requiring the muzzling of dogs
allowed upon the streets during the
hot weather. AS an example of the
necessity Of something OF this kind
may be cited the death in Jacksonville
last week of young boy who died
from the effects of the bite of a mad
dog.
There are some dog-lovers who will
take exception to this proposition, but
anyone who would rather have the
dogs run free upon the streets unmuz
zled. liable at any moment to bite
children or others, than to have them
muzzled. either hasn't thought of the
matter or else values the comfort IF
the dogs more than the lives of the
people.
DR.. Terry, of Jacksonville. city
health officer, says that an ordinance
requiring that dogs be muzzled is not
sufficient but that police Office $
should be ordered to shoot instantly
any dog found loose upon the sire It
without muzzle. In this connection
he says:
Il am fully aware that the shooting
of dogs on the streets is not pleaS-
ant sight for our citizens. With due
care, in the execution of this, however,
/ no harm need resI1lt RI persana and tb.,
dangers of an epidemic of hydrophobia
are SO great and imminent at the pres :
ent time that, in my opinion, stringent
measures should be taken to prevent it,
It is a simple matter for those ewnins,
valuable dogs to have them securely
muzzled or keep them within their
own premises. There are innumerable
dogs about the city which apparently
belong to no one. They run the streets
continuously, and with hydrophobia
about are certainly a danger"
What is good for one city is good for
Pensacola True we have not had any
cases this year where mad dogs have
bitten anyone, but it is liable to hap
pen today. tomorrow or next week, and
it is folly to wait until someone Is
bitten and maybe dies before we &C:
in this matter.
Before the hot weather arrives is
the time to begin the work and every
dog seen upon the streets without a
muzzle should be impounded If pos
sibie; otherwise it should be killed.

To the Board Of Public Safety, City.
Gentlemen-Last Sundays Journal
contained an announcement signed by
the city clerk inviting bids On police

/ went to some expense of telegraph

comparatively short time allowed. In
submitting bids worked solely on the
theory that price and quality combin-
ed should enable bidder to secure the

/ was therefore a bit surprised to
notice in today's Journal that the only
other bidder was awarded the contract
again at higher figure than mine this

lowest bid on firemen was $19.S5, in

City Clerk Aymard, who informed me
that my bids had been read by himself
to the board and also that my samples
had each been price marked by Mr.. Ell

marked upon it. I should like very
much to know the following:
Why were goods chosen fully as
heavy as my samples If mine were too
heavy?
Why was an inferior flannel chosen
in preference to mine?
Why were samples considered and
selected when less than one yard each
as specified and required?
Why was contract awarded to an
other at $2o.75 and $1s.75 when my
bids were $1,000 and 1895?

Those Great State"
Papers Again.

The Journal has in more than one
instance had occasion to direct atten-
ton to the supreme indifference of the
Jacksonville newspapers to any duty
on their part in the matter Of publish
ing news which. for business, political
or other reasons. might be objection
able to the big interests they love to
serve.
Most newspapers regard it their
duty as wen as their business to pub
lish the news, regardless Of what their
political. religious, financial, or other
leanings may be. But with the Jack
sonvfIle papers it is different If their
prejudices lead them to dislike Ger
tain man. little news of his doings. no
matter how important, can ever be ex-
pected to appear In their columns. If
his politics is distasteful to them. the
same rule applies. If piece Of news
is distastefui to their business friends,
that news is promptly suppressed
The latest evidence Of the miscou-
ception OF these great state" papers
as to the real obligation Of a newspa-
per to its readers is found in their
treatment of the great land allotment
row being made to purchasers of Ever
glades farms. The Journal day or
two ago told the story of this Ever
glades farm enterprise, and the Miami
Metropolis now tells how the great
daiIies in Jacksonville treated it as
follows:
The Jacksonville newspapers are
frequently referred to as great" state
newspapers. and there is no doubt tina!
they are great in some respects, but
the Metropolis has shown from time
TO time wherein they failed OF filling
their mission of covering the state
news with the thoroughness that war
ranted the title which they assume.

Everglades farms which Is taking
place at Ft. Lauderdale this week fur

It is the largest allotment of land eveI

Pensacola Should Have
a Military Company.

Pensacola, city Of $4,000 people, is
one Of the few cities Of it's size In
America without a military organiza-
ton. It is the only large city in Flor
ida without one. Jacksonville, Tampa,
Key West, all have military organiza-
tons, while such smaller towns as De-
Funiak. Mariana, and Apalachicola
are ahead Of Pensacola in this respect.
There are many reasons why Pensa
cola should have q military company
and there are many reasons why the
young men of the city would profit by
being members of one,
Suppose the fire of Thursday had
been attended by a riot or race war
every insurance policy would have
been voided because of the fact that
we have no military protection. 1t is
essential to every person who owns \
home and who carries Insurance that
the proper military protection be pro-
vided in connection Herewith.
On the other hand, q good live mill
tary organization is a good thing for
any young man to join. It affords
drill, good discipline. and good exeT
else. and it also offers an opportunity
for q fine encampment trip every year
The Journal would suggest that the
7. NJ. C. A. boys might start move
ment for the organization of military
company. General Foster and Col
Gibbons could be invited over to help
in the organization. What do you say
to it?

Facts and Conclusions.

e~tS Gti0 SOuSldSloHS-
Rev. w. J. Carpenter, of this city,
writes card to The Pensacola Journal
in reply to an editorial comment of
that paper on the attitude Of the min
listers of Tampa toward the aviation
exhibition held in Tampa on a Sum
day during the Census Celebration. Mr..
Carpenter says the ministers of the
city did not cause the arrest Of the
ayiators and that other pressure was
brought to bear on the sheriff besides
that Of the preachers" Then he says:
There was no objection to- airships
gliding through the air by the preach
ers or the labor organizations, but
there was objection to violation of
the law of the state by charging an
admission fee of fifty cents to see the
airships run on the grohnd for hum
dred feet or so.' This remark shows
the extent OF the knowledge of Mr..
Carpenter and probably of those who
| joined with him in his objection, as to
what took place at the aviation exhibit
ton. The thousands of people who wit
messed the exhibition will doubtless
be surprised to learn that they paid
fifty cents ito see the airships run
on the ground for a hundred feet or
So" They will no doubt recall distinct
~ that both the aeFoplanes operated on
that occasion rose several hundred
feet and and that they were gliding
through the air" for a considerable
| length of time to the satisfaction and
entertainment of the most skeptical
! spectator. The trouble with objectors
| like Mr.. Carpenter is that they very
| infrequently know the facts regarding
things which they attack. This is q
] fair sample of this sort Of ignorance.
| On Mr.. Carpenters own statement that
there was no objection to airships
gliding through the air. he wipes out
all his grounds Of objection to the avi-
alton exhibition. And, therefore, he
ought to keep quiet on the subject
