Illinois Central showed a drop OF a

telegra piers strike on the Southern
railway, and the opening of hostilities
between Turkey and Italy. with posi-
bilities of involving other powers. there
was little hesitation from the tap Of 10
o'clock until the closing. The big short
interest is a menace to the bear side,
and when a concerted effort Is made to
turn them into covering It is usually
successful.
That there should be such good
strength caused some of the brokers
and commission houses to recall that the
Administration was pledged to stand by
fits guns on trust prosecution, that the
outlook for radiSal revision was still
rood, and that the Presidential election
was nearer every day. Some OF the
commission houses advised the sale OF
securities on every rally. but they found
few followers, for at no time even
at the top Of the days advance was
there anything like aggressive selling,
although some recent converts to the
bull side took their profits.

Reaching the
Testing Point.

The reciprocity bill has passed the
house, which proves that the Demo
Gratis meant what they said when they
told President Taft that they would
PASS the bill. The insurgent Repub-
iicans said they would help the Demo
Gratis in the senate and the proposition
is right up to them now. They must
either show their colors or must get
back with the standpat Republicans.
For several years the insurgents
have been gathering strength by max
ing the people believe that they were
In favor Of tariff reform, but they
must prove it now and we believe
that a majority will fail to produce
the goods.
One of the so-called leaders of the
insurgents. Senator Cummings, is a
fair example, and as he is one of the
leaders he has been watched more
closely than some Of the followers.
Senator Cummings, so he says. is in
q
pinned to the wall he admits he wants
a lower tariff on the things the people
OF his state buy, while he is a staunrh
protectionist when it comes to the
things they have to sell. II this is the
kind OF tariff reform all of the insurg-
ents are in favor of it is well that the
time is here when they must either
vote with the Democrats or quit fool
ing the people.
The insurgents are as inconsistent
as a bunch Of babies. They say they
want one thing when really they want
arother. For instance, Senator Cum
minis is against the reciprocity agree
ment unless it carries a provision for
pernoving the duties from articles the
formers might buy, but he knows il
this is done it will not be reciprocity
To get around this the house proposes
TO pass a farmers free list, but here
the senator objects for the free list
will remove the duty on a few of the
articles the farmer has to sell when il
removes the duty from the ones ne
win have to buy.
If this free list were attached to the
reciprocity bill he says it might be &C
ceptable for it would only provide free
trade with that country, but the bill
proposed by the house Democrats
would allow the produce Of other coun-
tries to come in also.
The other insurgents may be differ
ent from Senator Cummins. We only
cite his case because he is supposedly
a leader Of the others. If he is ar
example, the country need not expect
tariff reform until a majority in the
senate is Democratic, for there will be
no reform when the representatives
want tariff reduction on everything
except the articles for sale in Their
states.
If the insurgents are not fakfrs they
will join with the Democrats in the
senate and ratify the reciprocity
agreement and then help pass the
farmers free list. This will be the
beginning of the tariff reform that the
public has been crying for for years
The proving time is at hand.

NEW TRIAL IS
GRANTED IN A
DAMAGE CASE
COURT GRANTS A NEW TRIAL IN
SUIT OF MRS. GIBSON AGAINST
PENSACOLA ELECTRIC CO, IN
WHICH SHE HAD SECURED
JUDGMENT,

Judge Wolfe, Of the circuit court, has
granted new trial in the suit of Mrs.
Gibson against the Pensacola Electric
Co., which was heard at the last term
Of the circuit court and resulted in
verdict in favor Of Mrs. Gibson for
about $4,000.
At that time attorneys for the de-
PENDANT gave notice that they would
argue motion for a new trial and
presented their grounds for asking for
a new one. These were decided as
sufficient when considered by the court,
and the new trial was ordered.
The case will come up at the next
term of court.
Mrs. Gibson's husband, a soldier Of
Fort Barrancas, was killed near that
place while he was lying on the tracks
of the company.

Why Hesitate?
An Offer That Involves No
Risk For Those Who
Accept It.

We are so positive our remedy will
completely relieve constipation, no
matter how chronic 1t may be, that we
offer to furnish it free Of all cost If it
fails.
Constipation is caused by weakness
OF the nerves and muscles Of the large
intestines or descending colon. To eT-
pect a cure you must therefore tone up
and strengthen those organs and re-
store them to healthier activity.
We want you to try Rexall Orderlies
on our guarantee. They are eater
like candy, and are particularly ideal
for children. They act directly on the
nerves and muscles of the bowels.
They have a neutral action on the
other organs or glands. They do not

CRIMINAL LAWS OF THE
STATE SHOULD BE AMENDED

Editor Pensacola Journal.
l have been watching the different
illustrations presented by The Journal
as proof Of the hardships brought on
those least able to meet them by the
official fee system. I see in them many
cases of train riding and 1 fail to see
why the state officials should interfere
in private affairs of this kind. The
railroads are amply able to take care
of their interests. They have their
rules and if they wish to go into the
courts to prosecute violators, that's
all right. But let them do it. The fee
system should be abolished. If our
legislature would put in some time
amending the laws now on the statute
books, placed there many years ago
when Florida was sparsely settled, so
they would suit the times now, they
could render some good service.
AS our laws are today if someone
robs you and spends your money be-
fore being caught he goes to the pen"
and you get nothing. 1 have for many
years believed that in all cases of
larceny, embezzlement, arson and all
cases where such loss occurs the duty
of the state should be to make the
criminal pay all such loss while in the
states service. 1 have thought that
our criminal code should be so amend
ed that the jury trying the case should
also assess the loss and the court
should give a continued sentence until
this loss is made good to the loser.
If the criminal element knew they
would have to face this condition in
the courts, believe it would have a
