A Uniform Divorce
Law Is Needed.

The Aston and Force wedding which
Is to take place shortly has brought
forth severe criticism from the clergy
. men of the Episcopal church. and of
other churches as well. But The
Journal doesn't see why so much
stress should be laid upon this one
particular wedding simply because of
the wealth OF the groom.
However, it illustrates forcibly the
need Of uniform system OF divorce
laws in all of the states. Colonel
Aston cannot marry again in New
York. but he may cross the state line
and have the ceremony performed and
then return to his home state.
There is no denying that the di-
voree evil is a menace to society, a
destroyer of homes and a cesspool of
discomfort as the laws are now, but
the necessity of divorce laws cannot
be successfully comhatted. Common

BURDENS LIFTED
From Pensacola Backs-Relief Proved
by Lapse of Time.

Backache is a heavy burden:
Nervousness wears one out;
Rheumatic pain; urinary Ills;
All are kidney burdens
Daily effects of kidney weakness.
No use to cure the symptoms,
Relief is but temporary If the cause
remains.
Cure the kidneys and you cure the
cause.
Relief comes quiclily-comes to stay.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure kidney
ills
Cure sick kidneys permanently.
Here's proof that you can verify.
Mrs. D. NJ. Henderson, 424 z. Strong
St, Pensacola, Fla, says: Since
Doan's Kidney Pills cured me three
years ago, I have been as free from
kidney complaint as if had never had
It. I had attacks of backache and
pains in my side and these troubles
plainly showed that my kidneys were
disordered. I procured a supply OF
Doan's Kidney Pills from the Crystal
Pharmacy and my experience was con-
vincing proof that this remedy lives ur
to all the claims made for it."

Long and Short Hauls
On Railroads.

Claiming that anyone with little
enough sense to wear a Ounce cap can
figure that there is no reason why
from Jacksonville to Tampa cheaper
than 1t hauls 1t to Ocala, not more
than half the distance, Editor Harris
of the Ocala Banner, is making
terrific complaint against the practice
Of the railroads.
The long and short haul business
has been a question argued pro and
con for many years, but the long and
short haul doesn't figure in the case of
Ocala and Tampa-it's competitive
water rates.
The railroads figure that they must
compete with the water transportation
companies, and therein comes the rub.
The same train may have a car Of
freight and haul 1t to Ocala and have
another and haul it through Ocala and
on to Tampa at about half the rate
charged for the car to Ocala.
An employee Of railroad in Jack
sonville, and one in position to know,
! says that the East Coast railroad gets
more1for hauling carload of potatoes
from Hastings than the other roads,
where there is water competition, get
for hauling the same carload to New
York or any of the northern and cas-
tern markets.
If the roads can afford to haul a
carload of freight to Tampa from
Jacksonville and compete with the
ship lines. then the rate to Ocala or
intermediate points should be made
according to the number Of miles.
The present practice discriminates
against the smaller cities and the in
land cities, and the railroad problem
win never be settled until some fair
adjustment Of rates is fixed.
Editor Harris is on the right side
of the question this time, and we are
glad to know that after waiting all
these years he has begun to use his
mighty pen on the right side Of the
railroad situation.
Something has opened the eyes Of
the 'Nestor." He no longer sees
through the glasses of the railroad
= officials. He has reached the conclu-
sion that If the people-the common
people-get what belongs to them
they must look to men in sympathy
with them and not men af1liated with
the special interests.
Whenever the national law-making
bodies, the state legislature and the
railroad commissions are filled with
men who want to give the people and
the corporations alike a fair deal, then
will the change come and not until
then.

FAIRS FREE
ATTRACTIONS
WILL Be FINE
LEW ROSE, WHO Is MANAGER OF
FAIR GROUNDS, HAS ABOUT
COMPLETED THE ARRANGE.
MENTs FOR THIS FEATURE,
BUT is STILL RECEIVING MANY
APPLICATIONS,

Lew Rose, the veteran Snowman,
VINO has been appointed manager OF
the fair grounds this year, has about
completed arrangements for the shows
and free attractions TO be given in
connection with the Interstate Fair.
The free attractions, which will be
furnished by the Barkoot Amusement
In the country and better than any
which have ever been seen in Pen
sacola. Besides the eighteen shows
furnished by this company there will
be fve free acts and three bands
which will give concerts at regular
intervals.
Mr.. Rose is still receiving many
applications for concessions at the
grounds and his past experience rend-
capacity, as he knows the reputation
of every amusement company in
America, and is exercising great care
In the selection of the shows for the
fair.
General Manager Lizard is also re-
ceiVing vast number of applications
for concessions from the local mer-
chants, who are anxious to make this
the best year the fair has ever had
in the way Of trades displays, and it
is probable that there will be a great
many more of these this year than
heretofore.
Other Counties Interested.
That the other counties in the fair
district, not only in Florida, but also
in Alabama, are taking an unusual
amount Of interest in this years fair
is shown by the number of COM
ments which are noted in the press
throughout the district. An example
of this interest is found in the last
issue of the Florala Democrat, which
has the following on the subject of
the fair:
I'VE notice that community exhibits
will be accepted at the Pensacola In
terstate Fair. Florala could. with lit
tie effort, get up a creditable exhibit
to be shown there. That is a good
way to advertise the possibilities and
desires Of a community: in fact, there
are few better plans to get locality
before the eyes of the public in a short
time. This method is one that has
made a few Alabama counties famous
1t developed Cullman and Baldwin
counties faster than many other forms
Of advertising. Every exhibit that goes
to a fair is viewed by thousands of
people from various parts of the coun-
try, and it scenes to US that Florala
opportunity If the neglect to have
an exhibit at the fair. Why not get
busy and prepare one. The Democrat
can name the person who will see that
the exhibit gets there, has good To-
cation on the fair grounds and will be
glad to see after it after it is there"

We read where a man in middle
Florida sold his crop OF grape fruit
on the trees for five thousand dollars.
This fruit will be ready to ship
several months from now and the
grown will be relieved of the
trouble of gathering 1t. The grove
is only five acres and the sum of FIVE
thousand dollars sounds pretty good
when 1t is remembered that the pur
chaser must gather the fruit. This
is just given as an example OF what
may be done right around Pensa-
cola. In every county in West Florida
oranges and grapefruit groves are be-
ing planted again and there are many
groves which bear thousands of boxes
every year. Every person who owns
a piece OF land in West Florida ought
to plant few trees every year. About
the middle of January Is considered
the best time to plant the budded
trees, for at that time the ground is
in a condition to make them start TO
growing without any drawback. Bud
ded trees will bear some fruit the
second and third years. There's money
in oranges and grapefruit in West
Florida.

JOE WE|LAND
IS AWARDED
THE CONTRACT
BOARD OF PUBLIC SAFETY DE-
cIDED HIS BID WAS THE BEST,
CONSIDERING THE QUALITY OF
THE GOODS.

Considering the bid of Joe Weiland
the most satisfa Glory although the
highest of the three bids submitted
for the furnishing of uniforms for the
police and fire departments, the board
of public safety at the meeting held
tract to that tailor. The bid of Wei
land was S2562, including helmets
while these of the fremen, including
caps will cost $2412. Joe Coleman's
highest bid for the 14-ounce standard

Loeb's for the same specifications was
S21.70. The board held Weiland's sam

contract to Joe Weiland was made by
Chas. Fredrichsen and seconded by E.
P. Preston.
Mr.. Loeb raised an objection, claim
Ing that Weiland had bid on a cloth
not mentioned in the Specifications,
but the board overruled his objection.
To Amend Automobile Ordinance.
The question of enforcing the auto
mobile ordinance was again brought
up, and during the discussion, the
fact was mentioned that, not only is
the speed law being violated, but that
the automobile owners are very negli-
gent about lights at night. Attention
was called to the fact that many
light, but this was said to be in ac-
cordance with the law. However, it
was virtually decided to ask the coun-
Gil to amend the ordinance so as to
require more powerful lights, and the
matter will probably be taken up later.
Examining Committee Reports.
The committee which recently con-
Quoted the examination in the police
department made its report. 1t was
shown that the general average made

some discussion, II was decided to fix
