of bronze. There is q tradition among
the Venetian people that its eyes are
diamonds. They are really white. ag-

rately wrought. and its retracted. gap

give it an oriental aspect. The crea-
ture as it now stands belongs to many
different epochs. varying from some
date previous TO our era down to this

the cork flying out made such report

Hustle for the Auto Route,

Our citizens must be on the alert

feet in the endeaVor to secure the To-
cation of the proposed link in the ma
tional auto highway route, between
Moultrie, Ga, and Pensacola, to pass
through Milton and Santa Rosa coun-
ty. 1t means the securing of a good
hard road through the entire breadth
of our county, the benefit alone of this
one item in addition to the many
others that are bound to follow, it is
idle to speculate. We should have it,
and to get it we must hustle, and hustle
now. We have talked with quite a
number of our solid citizens and every
one spoke favorably Of our doing our
best to get in the line. Representative
Tom West was at home Sunday, and
of course we tackled him about the
proposed highway. He answered at
once that he was decidedly in favor of
the proposition, and would do all he
could toward Santa Rosa securing this
important acquisition toward her de-
velopment and keeping in touch with
the march of progress and prosperity
that is now in motion toward our fair
and fertile southland. Tom, as an
earnest of his words, expressed a will
lingness to donate the sum of two hun
dred dollars toward helping along the
cause. This is a starter, and we have
the abiding faith within us that we
have plenty more enterprising and lib
eral men in our county who will do as
much, if not more, rather than that we
should lose this splendid opportunity
for securing the development of a good
hard road system for the entire county,
to which the securing of this nucleus
would inevitably and speedily Lead

Docking Facilities
Of Pensacola.

Situated on the deepest harbor in
the south. where many vessels should
be daily loading and unloading, an out
slider naturally expects to find docking
facilities in Pensacola in keeping with
the MAGNIFICENT harbor, but, alas, how
different the situation really is.
There is one solution-municipal
owned docks.
A municipal owned dock would In
sure all vessels desiring to unload or
load In Pensacola the same privileges,
while under the present arrangement
where the L. & N. controls the docks,
competitive boats, or boats that the L..
q N. wants to fight. cannot use their
wharves, even when they are willing to
nav the same rate that other boats
pay.
And then q wharf owned by the city
would be a paying investment as well
as helping to build up the shipping
interests of the port which will even
tually become one of the greatest in
the country.
An article recently published in re-
gard to New York and the docks of
that city, said that If New York had
secured control of its docking facilities,
the revenues from this source alone
would have been so great that no fur
Their taxation of citizens would have
been necessary to carry on the govern
ment of New York.
The same would be true of Pensa-
cola twenty years from now If the wa
terfront had been protected when the
city had chance to do so. For years
Pensacola people have been sleeping
over their rights and 1t is now time
that they awake and have at least one
dock owned by the city.
The new railroads that are building
into the city must allow the use of
their docks to anyone and everyone
willing to pay the price and this will
help in great way to facilitate the
shipping business, but that will not re-
lieve the situation as a municipal
owned dock would.
Other cities are suffering from lack
OF city owned docks but Pensacola is
oppressed more than any other city.
Jacksonville is attempting to secure a
city dock and to do this will have to
acquire the property by condemnation
proceedings for the people have waited
until all of the suitable places have
been gobbled up by the railroads and
private parties.
Pensacola needs city owned dock
that will be conducted as a business
proposition and it will more than pay
for itself In a short time and insure
shippers wishing to enter this port q
dock upon which to land cargoes.
Let the people speak upon this sub
ject It will not mean an expenditure
of money for an ornament, but it will
+ be putting out money that will be re-
turned manifold.

Information the
People Should Have.

It has recently leaked out that Judge
Judd wasn't allowed to read his paper
on Porto Rico to the Tennessee Bar
Association, because 1t contained some
Information that the government did
not want the people to know.
II everything has been carried on in
Porto Rico as 1t should have been car
ried on, 1t does not look like there
should be any objection to the public
knowing all about the transactions.
The administration officials evidently
take the American public for fools of
the first water, from the efforts they
put forth to keep the public in the dark
in regard to the workings of the va
rious departments.
No doubt Judge Judd went to con-
siderable trouble and spent a great
deal Of time preparing his paper for
the occasion, and, If it could have
reached the press Of the country, the
public would have been a great deal
wiser upon Porto Rico and how the
government Of our country has car
ried on matters there.
Woodrow Wilson has said frequently
that there is nothing that relates to
the people that the people should not
have the fullest details of. He pro-
claims for publicity in the workings
of governmental affairs, and in this he
is right.
What would a business man think if
his clerk objected to his accounts
being checked?
