pains to explain the definition of
| tainted wealth"
Do you think, Mr.. Editor, after the
| pubic pronunciation OF Carnegie by his
| accomplice, Mr.. John W. Gates, that
It would take a decision by the United
| states supreme court to define the
meaning Of tainted wealth? Why
no, certainly not, child knows that a
thing tainted" in this connection
means that which is acquired by i'm
proper, unfair. unjust or questionable
methods.
Any man forty years of age remem-
oers that some twenty years or so ago.
committee of naval experts IN test
| ing the armor plate contracted for by
Carnegie & Co. for our new navy, con-
demned several thousands of tons upon
the ground that pistol balls could
penetrate the plate at 30 PAGES" The
government had paid the Patron Saint
before the test was made, so there was
no way to make him disgorge- Was
this money tainted? Why no!
That was all right according to the
modern religious thought.
We Will say nothing about the hero
| Of the Homestead horrors, but If the
greater part of his several hundred
millions of dollars has not been ac
quired by improper, unfair and unjust
methods, then why does this plumber
ing plutocrat have such difficulty in
finding a people who are ready and
willing ito crook the pregnant hinges
of the knee, that thrift may follow
fawning?"
The answer is plain-people have
natural fear and horror of stolen
goods. They see the danger signal Of
the approach of the car of Juggernaut
the signal of the Pensacola Library
Association, stop! Look! Listen!!!
And our people do not propose to pay
tribute to Caesar or Carnegie whether
the value of the coin be a cent or,
dollar.
We will stop" 'look!!" and
| 'listen!!!" to the voice of light and
liberty, of right and justice and we
will vote down the ordnance provid-
ing a monument to the one mighty
millionaire, without pity or conscience
who offers a book when appealed to
for bread.
Many see a business scheme on the
part of Mr.. Carnegie to receive in af-
ter years valuable property upon which
his libraries have been constructed
| For one of the conditions of the con-
| tract provides that in the event the
building is not kept up as intended,
The ENTIRE PROPERTY REVERTS
| TO HIM.
We will have no monument to An
drew Carnegie in Pensacola for a long
! time TO come. No f1end has been SEN
| fenced to the faggot or gallows by
Judge Lynch or Judge Law upon evil
| dence half as strong as that which
| condemns Carnegie's wealth as faint
ed" wealth, and if a Palafox street
butcher had a piece of ArmOur's beef
half as badly tainted as the Library
Saints money, traffic on our thorough
fare would be impossible.
Let US have a public library if we
| can get one by honorable means-by
such means as suggested by Quina, by
McHugh and by Greenhut, and others
but. let us resolve on the 9Th Of June,
once and for all, that we will not dis
honor our fair name by accepting
largess of Andrew Carnegie, or any of
his Tx.

Editor Pensacola Journal.
I have been reading with much in
terest several pieces in regard to the
building of a bridge across the Escam-
bia river at the lower bluff.
Now, I wish to say 1 was raised
within three miles of said bluff, and
have some practical knowledge of
what I am writing. In the first place.
the swamp on the east side of the
river is certainly not less than six
miles wide, and is nothing but a lob
Jolly which would require more money
than Escambia and Santa Rosa coun-
ties could spare to build. In the sec
ond place, Whites river and Simpson S
river would be to bridge.
1t seems to me the better plan would
be to establish a motor ferry fiat to
make hourly trips from the old Ferry
Pass landing to old landing at Florida
Town.
In my boyhood days there was a
ferry fat that left Florida Town at 8
o'clock a m. and left Ferry Pass at
o'clock p. m. The fare was $1.00 for
man and horse. In my humble poinion

TUESDAY. JUNE 6. 1911,
Every Democrat
Should Vote Today.

While there Is Of course little danger
of any democratic candidate being de-
feated In today's election, every demo-
crat should nevertheless get out and
vote for the nominees from Mayor
Reilly down.
The socialists have some candidates
In the field and they Of course win do
some >1hard work. The democrats
should therefore make the vote for the
democratic nominees Just as large as
It can be made.
The contest around which most of
the interest centers Is that between
VIM. Fisher and ]. 0. Walker for al
derman-at-larg from precinct No, Is
to succeed John G. Welsh, resigned.
This vacancy did not occur in time to
select nominee to be selected in the
primary and therefore Mr.. Welsh's
successor viii have to be chosen in the
general election today. Mr.. Fisher
and Mr.. Walker are both democrats
and both running on equal terms.
The Journal will bulletin the returns
tonight as usual and the public is In
yited to call and hear the results.

VOX POPULI.
"cARNEGIE OR THE SAMARITAN
MONUMENTS; OR THE HOSPITALP'

Editor Pensacola Journal.
The above caption expresses the
questions which commanded much Of
the attention of the council at the
meeting last Wednesday evening, the
oath of May. The occasion was the
report from the finance committee
upon two proposed ordinances, one
providing for the levy of a special tax
for the maintenance Of a free public
library, to be known as a monument
dedicated to Andrew Carnegie or
Pennsylvania or New York or Scot
land, and the ordinance providing for
the support of free public hospital
dedicated to the great God of the uni
verse and intended for the benefit or
all His ailing or afflicted creatures.
OF the merits of the opposing ordi-
nances everyone can be his or her own
Judge Both may be good or bad In
their way, and both provided for
special tax upon the public OF the same
amount exactly; and 1T is estimated
that about the same number OF people
use or patronize these institutions, or,
in other words, that about two per
cent of the population frequent libra
ries. and about the same number re
ceive treatment at telemosynary insti-
tutions, at the expense of the 80 per
cent of the tax payers of the COM
munity. This is, however, no argu-
InGnI aEAInSI GltH6E pAOpOCtbAOA.
However, current history records
that the committee recommended what
is known as the Monument Ordi-
nance, and that the council, unlike the
one of six or eight years ago. when
the attempt was made to pass a SINH
lar measure in the interest of the
patron saint of libraries, concluded to
refer the entire matter to the people
At first this looked as II the council
was lodging the question, but, it is
more likely that that body, tired Of
doping such a measure to sleep, pc
rtodically determined upon its utter
destruction and, In sheer desperation
consigned it to the tender merctes or
a benevolent people, but one already
overburdened by taxation.
Being such recent history, Mr.
Editor, 1t Is not supposed that this
particular matter is Of interest to you
In the least, but 1t may cause you ito
sit up and take notice" when / ask
you to read the Associated Press dis
patch from Washington, which appears
in your paper OF May 2sth. page one,
column one, and headed, Inside His

ton by Mr.. John w, Gates, testifying
before congressional committee, de-

When thieves fall out and fight,

But now, Mr.. Editor, want to ask
you if you think the Rev. Mr.. Pen

paper, or the honorable chairman of
the public library committee in his
recent circular to the voters of Pen
sacola, could have read the statement
of John w. Gates in your issue re-

stolen goods by the good people of

The Existence
OF Polygany.

In defiance of Uncle Sam, 1t is leak
ing out that the people of Utah, o.
those that care to. persist in having
more than one wife. The latest In
formation that polygamy does exis
there is from a printed statement from
Joseph F. Smith in which he does nc!
deny that it is still practiced there
He ends his statement by saying:
For myself-and it may sound
strangely to you-that means that
believe in being true to FIVE wives,
who are loving, loyal, contented and
happy mothers. They have been my
wives for from over q years to more
than 40 years. They have looked up
to and been true to me through all
these years. and / have held my love
and duty to them above all things
else; my love for them, my conscience
and my manhood would not allow 1t
to be otherwise"
The statement from President Smith
Is voluntary one and 1t does not In
dictate that he is trying to discourage
the marrying Of many wives, although
polygamy is supposed to have been
discontinued for some time.
