who now want Sunday baseball.
No difference what your motives or
ideas are, gentlemen. the result is the
same and the crowd is the same, and
you are either part and parcel OF II, or
you are lowering your manhood and

You have forced your child to endure

VOX POPULI.
A DISCUSSION ON
SUNDAY BASEBALL

Editor Pensa cola Journal.
The harvest is past; the summer is
ended, and we are not saved The of
fer was made; the vote was taken, and
the gift refused.
With mingled pity, contempt and
disgust, we note the rejection of the
Carnegie library proposition; pity for
the ignorant, contempt for the would
be leaders through fales pretenses, and
disgust at the result of the Combina-
ton.
There's relief, however, in noting
that, where want of education, prog
ress and decency prevail, that political
carbuncIe on the face of Pensacola,

made our county wet instead of dry,

SUNDAY. JUNE IL. 1911.
The Library, Bar Rooms,
Baseball and Other Things.

Elsewhere in these columns today.
The Journal gives space to a COM
munication which covers quite range
of subjects and considerable space as
well. 1t is written by Mr.. w. S. Reeve.
Ordinarily The Journal discusses It's
own subjects in it's own way and leaves
the vox populi discussions entirely to
its readers, but this communication
contains so much of error, so much of
intolerance, and so much Of false rea-
soning that we cannot resist the temp
tation to take issue with our CORE
spondent upon a few of the points
raised by him.
He charges that precinct Is defeated
the Carnegie library proposition. Pre-
cinct Is cast a majority of 14S votes
against Mr.. Carnegie's plan, but the
total majority against it was 1911,
leaving a majority of 43 votes in the
other precincts against it, Had pre-
cinct 10 been eliminated entirely, the
library would still have been defeated.
1t is seldom that precinct Is and The
Journal vote together on a PROPOSE
ton, but this is one instance at least
where they stand agreed.
Mr.. Reeve charges that the wet"
vote is what defeated the library. Yet
precinct IA. VIGOROUSLY wet" pre-
cinct voted for it, while precinct 81,
a pronounced dry precinct voted
against it,
The truth of the matter is (frst)
that the people did not approve Mr.
Carnegie's plan. however much they
may have desired library: and (sec-
ond) they needed so many other things
of greater Importance which they are
yet unable to get that they thought the
library could wait until some of the
other things could be secured.
We need a public charity hospital
where the unfortunate may be treated.
We need Improvement of our public
parks where all can and will enjoy
themselves and cultivate good health
and good morals. We need a system
of open air band concerts in the parks
during these warm summer nights
when the poor and the rich alike may
hnd rest and enjoyment after the toll
VI tic udS ~ uOHe. ANY OF All OF
these things will help more people In
more ways than a library desirable as
II may be, can do When we get them,
then let the library-though not of the
Carnegie kind-come.
Mr.. Reeve lines what he terms the
liquor league" and the Sunday base
ball enthusiasts" up together We
again take exception.
The Journal does not believe in the
liquor business either on Sunday or
any other day and has frequently said
so in terms that cannot be misunder-
stood.
But The Journal sees no harm, for
those who enjoy it, in a clean, manly
game of baseball either on a week day
or on Sunday.
Baseball is the cleanest popular sport
IN the world today. It's associations
are all clean. The men who win
honors on the diamond are clean men
they have to be- 1t is Just as clean
on Sunday as it is on Monday The
man who enjoys a game of baseball on
Sunday is just as clean a man as the
one who enjoys his golf links, his horse
and carriage, his automobile, or his
launch on Sunday.
Yet we hear nothing from such men
as Mr.. Reeve about the man who en-
joys his horse and carriage or his auto

fOreseen does not happen. Crossing a
continent and then the Atlantic ocean is
the measure of distance covered, which,
under present day methods OF travel,
seems child's play compared to ye
olden time. To the pioneer, who trekk ked
across this same continent by OK team
in the early days, long before the advent
OF the iron horse, when it took from four
to six months from the Missouri river to
the Pac6c-aDd there are many such
pioneers still living in the Pacific North
west-t seems like dream when taking
a horoscope of the past and contemplate
ing the present. Time has been short
ened (metaphorically speaking) from six
to eight months in the distance between
the Inland Empire and the great city on
the Thames
These reflections were brought forth by
the return last week OF W. 81. Melrose
from London, where he went three
months ago to visit for short time with
relatives in native land, the story OF his
trip and the rapid Cransit thence
and back being intensely interesting
Mr.. Mslrose left Colfax on the 10th OF
November, going direct to New York
city. Without delay he boarded the
steamship Lusitania and inside the pre-
scribed five days was in London. Re-
turning be came on the Lusitania' g
sister ship, the Mauretania, steaming
across the ocean at almost railroad
speed These two ocean greyhounds are
the largest vessels in the world, one be-
ing 100 and the other 800 feet in length.
Luxury. speed, everything, in fact, for
the convenience and comfort of man are
here exempitied, including the daily
paper, with news by wireless from every
part Of the world. These steamers a re
subsidized by the British government for
81 ,OOO,O 600 year, and in case OF war
can be turned into transports at short
notice and made to do duty.
MIR. MelrOse spent most OF the time in
London, but visited other parts OF Eng
land and made flying trip into Wales.
Historic buildings, such as The Tower of
London, Guildhall, The Royal Exchange,
The Bank of England, The Mansion

Courts, Somerset House, The British
Museum, The Royal Gallery, The Horse
Guards, The Foreign Office, The Palace
of Westminster, v estminster Abbey, St.
James Palace, Buckingham Palace, In

through, making the trip noteworthy

stated that, as boy at school in tudy-
ing mathematics does not stop at addi

and future demands, and placed one foot
out from the property line is better than
six-foot walk for many and obvious
reasons" Referred to street committee.
u l.. Ettinger and others petitioned
for a street light at the junction of
Cooper and Meadow streets. Referred to
street committee.

Treasurer's Office Rearransed.

The county treasurer's office has been
rearranged from the way it has been run
OF late to conform to the system formerly
in vogue, which, it is thought, will prove
to be an added convenience. The receiv-
ing department, in charge OF d. J. Will
cox, receiving deputy, is at one entrance,
and the disbursing department, in charge
of ]. G. Patrick. disbursing deputy, is at
the other entrance OF the treasurer's
office. During the last three or four
years the work has been done at one
entrance. which sometimes resulted in
at the time OF paying taxes.
