The Capitol
Compared With the Price.

IN discussing the folly OF agitating
eapitol-removal the Times Union gives
some valuable advice TO Florida towns
and people who would seek to change
the seat of government. The editorial
IS f,1u of sound advice and Is given IN
fun elsewhere in The Journal. but the
nofnt which The Journal would i'm
press upon F1oridians is the one
brought out about Florida not being
able at this time to expend half a mil
lion dollars to erect the building for
the state government In another city.
and that any city having this much to
spend for municipal Improvement
could spend it in many ways to better
advantage.
The capitol would be beneficial to
any city. No one viii argue against
this. but the capitol IS not worth the
price. Half a million is conserva-
tive estimate for the cost Of build :
ing that would be suitable for a state
house. but even that sum expended in
advertising and securing new settlers
and manufacturing concerns for town
would amount to far more good in q
shorter length of time.
Think what Pensacola could do with
half a million dollars to spend for ex-
plotting the city We would not have
room TO fool with the capitol.
At present Tallahassee Is a very
good place for the capitol to be To-
Gated. Those running the state affairs
have not registered any serious com
plsints against Tallahassee as a place
of residence and it is not desirable
that it be removed at this time
Those people who would like
change might think over the points

SUIT HAS BEEN TWENTY
YEARS REACHING COURT
BY Associated Press.

Washington, March %. - Twenty
years on the way, the suit Of Mary
Scott Woods and others against A NJ
Chesborough and others in Marion
county, Miss, today reached the SUI
preme court Of the United States.
In 1891 a suit was brought In Ma
rion county courts to determine the
title to several parcels of land. The
litigation was continued from term tt
term and finally a decree was ISSUED
in the case in 1895. The immediate
object now sought is to have this de-
cree reviewed. 1t will be two or three
years yet before the supreme court
will reach the case on its docket.

Biggest City In Florida"
AS the Slogan.

Today Pensacola's future is brighter
than it ever was before. Today our
people can look forward to a great
city in few more years. It has taken
long time to get the city on the right
road but the concerted efforts of the
people for the past three years has at
last succeeded.
Being bottled up with only one rail-
road as an outlet has greatly hampered
the city's growth. but that alone has
not been the cause. The people, them
selves, are to blame and If they had
shown the same interest heretofore
that is being shown in the new road
into Alabama, the road would have
been built years ago.
Pensacola viii have the railroad.
With another railroad will come q
larger city.
The spirtt Of progress is in the veins
OF everyone In Pensacola and with thi.
spirit united there is nothing except ar
earthquake or a like destruction thai
can stop the growth Of Pensacola
Ten years from today will find al
altogether different city situated upo1
the shore Of the Deep Water Port O
the Gulf. This city WIN grow withou
much effort now. but II everyone vii
join in the movement we can have tn,
largest city in the state within ter
years. We can have a great touris
town and q great manufacturing cen
ter with wholesale business reachin,
many millions
The Bigges Town IN the state
would be q good slogan and it coult
be realized If the people viii go afte
II. Jacksonville has become a grea
city simply from the result of worl
and push Of its people. Compares
with Pensacola. Jacksonville is not a

city is better located than any othe

ment and make Pensacola The Big
gest Town In Florida"

Exceeding the Limit
Of a Governor.

Denouncing the papers and preach
srs Of his state as frauds and hire
lingz, Governor Bleass attracted con-
siderable attention and In that part OF
the country Macon and Davis from
Arkansas were completely forgotten
knowing the ca1iber OF the new gov
ernor no one seemed to take offense at
his utterance. but he has now reached
the limit when. IN speaking of the su-
irene court, he said in order to hit
me the court decided against the poor
negro"
The statement might have been true.
although no one believes it. but for the
courts to be the object of slurs like
this from the governor OF state is
disgraceful in the extreme. and moth
ing he could have done would have
brought out his real character any
more forcibly.
In any other state than South Caro-
lima he would probably be impeached
and more than likely the people of
that state win be sorry they did not
take such steps before the governor
finishes his term OF service.
Governor Blease is an object lesson
to the people of other states who are
tempted to vote for a man who be-
Iieves in a wide open" state. as the
South Carolinian often stated in his
campaign He is running q wide
open" state al right and is daily hu-
initiating the good people whose chief
executive he is.
