TOURNAMENT.

RYE. N. Y, Sept 1I.-Thomas
Sherman. son of Vice President Sher-
man, considered an outsider, led a
field of ITO at the opening OF the
American amateur golf championship
tournament at the Apawamis Club
links to-day, turning in card Of rs
Tied for second lowest score at rs

pion. Fownes, the national titlehold-
er, Gardner, former champion, and
Rhett, an outsider.
Walter Travis, former International
champion; Fred Herrescnon and Al
bert Seckei were tied at IT. Jerome
Travers came through with rs.
The field was the second largest and
the averages were remarkable. in view
OF the adverse weather conditions
Showers fell almost continuously dur
ing the morning and the course was
extremely difficult.
The test day was an IS hole
medal play round. A similar round
will be played tomorrow morning,
after which holders or the best thirty
two cards will play an Is hole match
play round in the afternoon only SIX
ty-four players can start tomorrow.
Hilton, the British champion, who
has won more titles tnan any golfer
in the history Of the game, was the
center of attention with the big gal
lery to-day, and no lived up to his
reputation. His direction with the
wood" was splendid, and his play with
the iron club was the strongest Of the
field. Hilton's card should have been

ball, spelling his putt for a l.

THINKS WILSON
WILL BE CHOICE
MAGAZINE, AFTER cANVAssINc
SITUATION, SEES FAILURE OF
HARMON MOVEMENT.

The following is from Success Maya
zine:
1t has become apparent that the
Democratic national convention Of 1912
is going to be really Democratic. The
effort of the old Alton B. Parker wing
to gain control and nominate Harmon
has received a crushing blow through
the declaration for Governor Wilson
by both wings of the Pennsylvania
Democracy
The Harmon plan was to have the
Democratic machine in a few big
doubtful states - Tammany in New
York, the Roger Sullivan machine in
Illinois, Taggart in Indiana, Watson IN
West Virginia, and so on-bring IN
Harmon. delegations. These organi-
cation bosses were then to say to the
southern delegates, You see how II
stands. Your states are Democratic In
any case. To win, you must give us a
man whom the northern states want.
We demand Harmon"
Indication are, however, that that
plan is not going to work. The lines
of alliance that will dominate the 1912
convention will run from the south,
which is for Wilson, to the middle
west insurgent regions, also for Will
son; and If one may prophesy at this
stage, the nomination will go to the
Jerseynan who has so wonderfully i'm
pressed himself on the nation during
the past year.

incubation
Against Typhoid.

Typhoid fever is a deadly disease
even worse than yellow fever. although
the average person does not consider
it so. and it is with a deal of satisfac-
ton that we have been reading of the
experiments by the government in in
oculating against the dread and deadly
disease.
For some time 1t has been practically
certain that the incubation with anti
typhoid serum would prevent the dis
ease. but the recent experiments by
the government ought to convince the
most skeptical that 1t is a success be-
yond question.
When the American troops were
rushed to the Mexican frontier last
spring only those soldiers were ordered
south who had been inoculated with
the anti-typhoid seurm. In the camps
on the border all possible sanitary pre-
cautions were taken, yet with all of the
resources of the government, it was
sound impossible to make the sanitary
arrangements all that they should be.
There were many details that were not
complete. Myriads of flies infested the
camps and the drainage was imperfect

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10. 1911
For a Better
Passenger Service.

Pensacola will make mistake IL she
fails to be represented before the rail-
road commission when the L. & N. and
Seaboard are heard to tell why 1t
should not be forced to put on a regu-
cola and Jacksonville instead Of the
mixed trains which leave Pensacola
and Jacksonville in the afternoons and
which do not reach their destinations
until nearly the middle OF the follow
ing day.
We do not know whether the two
railroads win object to the service as
asked by the commission, for it may be
possible that they win not fight the
order. but the chances are that they
win argue the case and If they do PEN
sacola should be represented and
should have someone there to help the
railroad commission attorney.
Pensacola has poor enough transpor-
tation facilities at best and IL there is
any way to get good night passenger
service between here and Jacksonville
It should be taken advantage of. The
poor service which the railroads are
now giving the people between the two
cities should be brought out thoroughly
and the commission should have all of
the aid possible.
The Journal has much confidence in
the Florida railroad commission and
believes that at all times it deals justly
with the transportation companies and
the people, but in the majority of In
stances the transportation companies
are well represented because they know
it pays to be well represented while the
people who are given inadequate SER
vice haven't enough energy to make
a fight for what they should have.
Pensacola is Bidding for winter tour
lists. Many came here last season and
more will come this season. even with
the present transportation facilities,
but thousands go down the east coast
every week during the winter season
and many Of them would make the trip
across the state If the railroad service
was satisfactory, but 1t is not. Anyone
who takes the trip on the slow night
train win never make the second unless
1t is absolutely necessary.
But the tourist travel is of small i'm
portance in comparison to the regular
travellers who must use the night train.
There was a time when the present
mixed or accommodation" train filled
the bill very satisfactorily but that was
years ago. The people between Pen
sacola and Jacksonville are at the
mercy of the L. e. N and the Seaboard
railroads and as there is no other way
to travel, these roads should be forced
to give adequate service If they will
not do 1t without being forced to do 1t,
Pensacola needs the improved service
more than any other city, and. while
The Journal believes that the railroads
will fail to prove to the satisfaction OF
the commission that the improved SER
vice is not necessary, still we ought to
feel enough interest in what will bene-
fit us to do something to help our
selves.

Hundreds Of Jacksonville women
patrons, and mothers sof the children
who patronize the moving picture
shows-asked Mayor Jordan to prevent
the showing of the moving pictures Of
Beulah Binfgord, and the request was
granted. The mayor certainly deserves
commentator, for five or six hundred
women should certainly have a right
to be heard on a question which would
tend to lower the morals of the people
who see the pictures, who are in the
majority children. The pictures of the
trial in progress were all right and
were Instructive and did not tend
toward immortality, but the motion
pictures are a different proposition.
There are some who contend that the
woman is trying to lead respectable
life; that she is earning an honest
livelihood while posing for the picture
film concerns and that she should be
rejected by the patrons of moving pic
way. We are willing to admit that the
fallen woman is given less encourage
ment to reform than any other person
in the world but the Binford woman
does not show any signs of reforming
instead she wants to parade before the
men and women and boys and girls of
this country her shame and her dis
grace. If she cared to reform nothing
would be more offensive to her than to
pose for moving pictures, and since she
has not reformed she is not fit sub
ject for moving picture show and the
mothers of the children who go to these
shows have a right to object and their
objections should be upheld.

With 1t all, however, there was no ty-
phoid and very little complaints Of en-
teric troubles. This, it is believed, was
due to the fact that the soldiers had
been inoculated and thus rendered hu-
mune to the typhoid poison II that Us
true-and the army authorities are
convinced Of it's truth-a tremendous
advance has been made in the pressr-
walton Of health and life.
Now all army enlisted men and of
dcers have been ordered to be inoca-
lated with the anti-typhoid serum and
the country may watch the experiment
and II 1t proves the success that 1t is
expected to prove. then by all means
the health officers of the states ought
to see that everyone is vaccinated to
prevent typhoid.
Smallpox has been checked by vacci-
nation. Yellow fever may be prevented
by a close quarantine at the ports to
prevent the mosquitoes inoculated with
the yellow fever germs coming into
this country, and also by keeping the
cities in such sanitary condition that
there are no mosquitoes.
Since these two diseases which
puzzled the physicians and doctors for
years have been brought under check
It is not unreasonable to suppose that
the typhoid may be prevented by inoc-
ulating persons system with a serum
that viii prevent infection.
Since 1t is almost impossible to pre-
vent flies in any community-and it is
flies which spread typhoid-we must
look to some other means of prevent
ing 1t. The vaccination seems to have
solved the problem.
