The stranger proved hospitable. and
after showing them the way to a tiny
barn. where there was feed for the
horse. she spread the cloth in the
kitchen and invited her guests to par
take of her simple fare
She had been cutting carpet rags
when interrupted by her unexpected
guests. and Washington had soon
drawn from her the fact that she and
her husband. who was then OF in the
village with the horse. delivering some
strips of floor covering. kept the wolf
from the door by sewing carpet rags
and weaving.
The young arfstocrat whispered
few words to his lady and she laugh
ingly nodded consent Washington
then snatched a huge apron which he
saw hanging on the door. and. tying 1t
around the laughing Martha. handed
her a pair OF scissors and told her TO

soon the three were cutting and sew

George expressed himself well pleased
with the way in which he had spent
his birthday.
Just one more record we have OF
how the general kept the resolution
made on his thirteenth birthday. II
was In the year 177s. while at Valley
Forge. that Washington marked Feb
ruary % with a deed of kindness which
indeed made one man grateful that
the general had been given the gift OF
life for a little space" A young sen
try was sent TO him under the charge
of having been found asleep at bis
post. He was scarcely more than a
boy. ill-clad and hAlf-starved. and even
though he Was badly frightened his
eyelids we're heavy with sleep.
The great general questioned him
kindly. found that he had given his
last ration TO suffering comrade and
relieved a sick man Of sentry duty. In
stead of reprimanding the boy. Wash
ington spread a blanket. told him to
lie down and get al hours sleep.
When he awoke It was past noon. and
the general had laid the table. He
was ordered to partake OF the birth
day" feast of cheese. some stale bread
and good hot coffee, or what passed
for that beverage. The next day the
boy was sent to the hospital with
fever. and he never saw battle after
that.
Although this is the last record that
can be found OF how Washington kept
his birthday. Undoubtedly later ami
versaries were marked by deeds OF
kindness equal to those of his early
years

COMING IN RAPIDLY.

General Manager Lfllard. Of the In

cedpt Of q letter from J. A Carney,
the Baldwin County vice-president Of
the association. enclosing an entry Of
a county exhibit from Baldwin county,
Ala. The entry has been made in
the usual form and Mr. Carney writes
that he Is confident of making q
splendid showing from his county this

The counties which have already ac-
tually agreed to make entries for ex-

others.

the different political problems Of
modern times and Notwithstanding the
patience shown by the government OF
Italy. its views concerning Trtpoli
have been badly received by the I'M
perial government, but more than that
all enterprises on the part Of the
Italians in the regions mentioned have
been systematically opposed and I'M
justifably crushed"
The notes continues:
1.-THE imperial government, which
to the present time has shown con-
slant hostility towards all legitimate
activity in Tripod and Cyrene, has,
by an act in the last hour. proposed
to the royal government and has felt
itself disposed to accord all the econo-
mic concessions compatible with the
treaties in force and in accord with
the dignity and superior interests OF
Turkey, but the royal government does
not believe in measures taken at this
hour, which resemble the negotiations
Of which it has had experience In the
past which have demonstrated their
futility, and which. remote from con-
stituting the guarantee for the future,
would be themselves permanent causes
of disagreement and conflict.
THE Italian government having the
intention henceforth to protect its in
terests and its dignity, has decided 70
-
Tripoli and Cyrene.
This solution is the only one that
will give Italy power to itself attend
to that which the imperial government
does not do.
THE royal government demands that
the imperial government shall give
orders that the actual Ottoman rep
resentative shall not oppose the meas
ures which viii In consequence be
necessary to this solution without diff
f1culty. An ultimate agreement VIII
be required between the two govern
ments to regulate the definite situa-
ion which will arise.
'The royal embassy at CONSTANT
nople is ordered to demand a decisive
response on this subject from the OF
tonan government within "a hours Of
the presentation to the porte Of the
present document, in default of which
the Italian government will consider
itself as being obliged to proceed i'm
mediately with measures destined TO
assure occupation. Ask in addition
that the response Of the porte within
the period of "a hours shall be COM
municated through the Turkish en-
bassy at Rome.

Cities Free
From the Legislatures.

Pensacolians can fully appreciate
the facts expressed by Governor Dix
before the International Municipal
Congress in behalf OF free cities. He
said:
THE time has come when the cities
should demand that instead OF being
governed as subject provinces they
should be endowed with powers OF
government as complete and efficient
as those vested In the state and the
nation. The state should permit every
city to be a self governing community.
The relation Of the state to municipal
government should begin and end with
the grant to the municipality OF power
to act for itself. Endow our cities
with self government to which they
are entitled and at once there Will be
created a sense of civic pride and civic
responsibility that will in turn gen.
crate a vivid sense Of public welfare. :
The Journal could not express it
sentiments upon the subject in any
better terms. Governor Dix hits the
nail squarely upon the head, and his
arguments cannot be met with any
arguments based upon facts.
In Florida is it especially true that
cities are handicapped on account OF
having to wait two years to have the
legislature revise q charter to allow
a city to make improvements or pro-
vide for necessary changes-changes
which, by the way, the legislature Is
usually incompetent to consider for
the members vote blindly, according
to what is asked for by the local rep
resentatives.
Pensacola is suffering today because
the city has not had full control Of It's
affairs to do just as It liked and when
Il liked. Giving cities power Of sell
government will not hurt them in the
least-the legislature is In no way q
safeguard to them. but on the con-
trary is q heavy handicap. 1t would
be Just as practicable for the legislA-
tiire to have to get permission from
congress every time q change or i'm
provement was intended to be made ir
a sovereign state.
Most Of the growing cities and towns
in Florida have their charter bills be-
fore the legislature at every session
and this takes up valuable time Of the
other members. and in q large way
prevents the local members who are
trying to get the charters amended OF
new ones passed, from working on
state subjects which require study and
thought.
The Journal wants to start cam
paign to make the cities Of Florida
free from the legislature and to give
them powers Of government as COM
plete and efficient as those vested in
the state and nation"

TWO MEN ARE
RECOMMENDED
GOVERNOR eILcHRIsT WRITES
SANTA ROSA OFFICIALS TO GET
TOGETHER AND SELECT ONE
MAN FOR PROBATION OFFICER.

The following letter has been sent 70
each members Of the county executive
committee Of Santa Rosa county;
Tallahassee. Sept. "a, 1911.
To the Members Of the Democratic
Executive Committee, OF Santa
Rosa County, Florida
Gentlemen: The county commits
sioners OF Santa Rosa county have
recommended Mr.. l. p. Golson OF Nil
ton 10 me for appointment a. proba-
ton ofhcer for said county and have
liked his salary at twenty-five dollars
per quarter. ! have also received a
petition signed by Messrs. b. d. Whit
more, S. G. Collins, J. II. Harvell, H.
Q. Bower and ]. A. Hart, members Of
the Democratic county executive COM
mittee for Santa Rosa county, recon-
mendtng thst Mr.. Bruce I. Jones Of
Milton, be appointed probation ofacer
for Santa Rosa county.
Section 8. chapter e21e, acts OF 1911,
provides that, The governor shall Rp-
point at least one oficer In each coun-
~ who shall be known as probation
officer. The Concentration OF
the probation onfcer shall be fixed by
the county commissioners Of each
county"
It has been my inva-table rule 70
make appointments OF county officers
where there has been no primary
choice. upon the recommendation OF
the Democratic county executive COM
mtttoe. The statute quoted, however,
gives the county commissioners the
power to fix the compensation Of the
probation officer and thereby, in large
measures, places the control Of said
ONCE in the hands OF the county com
missioners.
Under the circumstances, It appears
advisable to make appointments of
probation oficers upon the recommen-
dations Of both the county executive
committee and the county commits
sioners. had hoped the two said
bodies in the several counties, would
agree upon and recommend the same
person.
The above mentioned petition recon-
mending Mr.. Bruce T. Jones for this
appointment appears to be an express
tive committee, signing same as indi-
viduals. II does not appear that the
executive committee has had a regular
meeting to consider and act upon this
matter.
I am. therefore, writing this letter
to request that the members OF the
Democratic county executive commit
tee for Santa Rosa county, meet with
the board of county commissioners Of
said county a. the next meeting OF the
board, and endeavor TO agree with the
said board In recommending a suitable
person to me for the above mentioned
appointment.
A copy Of this communication is
being mailed to each member of the
committee and to each member of the
board OF county commissioners.
Very truly yours,

FOLKS PAST FIFTY

What glasses are to weak eyes, Casea.

cent box will truly amaze you.

Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help. else they
suffer from constipation. The condi-
ton is perfectly natural. It is just
as natural as it is for old people to
walk slowly. For age is never so
active as youth. The muscles are less
elastic. And the bowels are muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets.
One might as well refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid to weak bowels The
bowels must be kept active. This is
important at all ages, but never so
much as at fifty.
Age is not a time for harsh physics
Youth may occasionally whip the
bowels into activity. But a lash can't
be used every day. What the bowels
of the old need is a gentle and natural
tonic. One that can be constantly
used without harm. The only s-ch
tonic is Cascarets and they cost only
10 cents per box at any drug store.

Gigantic Strike on
The Hartman Lines
CConttnued from First Page.)
THE MEN STAND ON
THEIR FORMER POSITION

Chicago, Sept. 2s.-Mr. Kline, to
whom the reply was directed, said:
I'VE have had a reply from Mr..
Kruttschnitt and it was not satisfac-
tory. Mr.. Kruttschnitt insists that
the treatment of the men is such that
he wonders why they should want to
strike. He does not see why they in
sist on raising questions on new is
sues.
THE men stand on their former po-
sition. They will not recede. The
matter of wages is another considera-
ton. The men simply are demanding
the right to deal with the railroad as
a unit, meeting them on equal terms.
THE Missouri, Kansas and Texas
men are out, as the blacksmiths' union
refuses to work with non union men
at their shops at Dennison, Texas, Sc
dalia, Mo, Parsons, Kans.. and San
Antonio, Texas.
II believe that the impending strike
will spread 20 all roads in the west
as fast as the roads refuse to accept
the federation. There is a crisis be-
tween labor and capital and 1t will
have to be fought out.
THE position the road takes is arbi-
trary. Mr.. Kruttschnitt writes of
good wages and the splendid pension
says nothing of the objectionable
physical examination the personal
record system and the rank discrini-
nation practiced where men with rs
years service are transferred to new
shops and have to begin their senior
ity at the new shops. where they are
likely to be laid off and the preference
given younger men,"
Three of the unions involved, in
Guiding the machinists, were said to
have agreed on Saturday morning be-
tween 10 and IL as the hour for a
general walk-out.
The number of men who will be at
fected was roughly estimated at 49,
600, including: Chicago 5000, Kansas
City, Mo-, 1000, San Francisco 1000,
Denver 1000, Sacramento $500. Los
Angeles 1000. On the Illinois Central
lines 10000 will go out.
The crafts affected include car men
10000, machinists 1000, boilermakers
5000, blacksmiths 1900, sheet metal
workers 1000. The four allied trades
that will walk out, the steam filters
copper and brass workers, clerks and
painters, will number 10000 more.
The strike order, when the hour is
finally decided upon, will be given out
by the FIVE presidents Of their respec-
tive international unions.

Impeachment U. S.

He is wise in pleading that lawyers

The makers OF the constitution con-
templated that there might be occa-

He realizes that delays in justice breed

done whereby the judiciary must be
brought to realize that 1t is respon-
