4 MONG the publications that reach "A my table there are of course few favorites, and among the fla yorites. the American Magazine has a place of it's own. Hence I do not com plain when this publication points with pride to the roster of it's editors and contributors and to the impression 1t has made on recent events. Certainly Miss Tarbell Is having her innings in these days of supreme court decisions and the outlawry of the Standard Oil; MT. Ray Stannard Baker, another editor, scored in the political changes whose prints Mr., Underwood is gathering: and MT. Dunne, though he has buried the remains Of MT. Dooiey, to our great relief has still his own message to give through other media The most impressive things now appearing are the marvellously beautiful story by the authorers of Little Lord Fauntleroy, for which l give thanks, and even more instructive, MT. Albert Jay Works account of the Canadian west, and it's political organization. lnasmuch as some may read these lines who have not read the magazine. let me say that Mir Mock appears as an ardent single taxer, pointing to the province or Al berta, and the whole land of British Co., lumbia, as a triumphant proof Of the soundness of the principle that increase of land values belongs to the community He quotes Epictetus to show that the natural way of doing things is the, only right way and proves from the imml- grafton of American citizens into west ern Canada that the natural way of tax ation is to have it all fall on the land. His general conclusion is that if state or city wants prosperity and population it must free itself from irritating meth ods of raising money, relieve industry and thrift from tho penalzing power Of the tax-gatherer, give labor an outlet on the land in self-reliant automatic manner and so actually pull citizens as . magnet pulls steel filings, irresistiby, automatically -. The whole secret seems to be in the principle that it is misuse of land to speculate with it, and in the practical re- moval of land from such misuse. We are supplied with figures and asked to judge what connection there must be between migration out of Oregon, Washington, Dakota, into Canada. anu the different economic conditions obtaining across the border.
 MT Mock, be it said, is not what mod srn slang calls 'knocker." but yet the 0seple of Seattle. Wash. can hardly deny

A Strong Attachment
From the Washington Post.

From the washington Post.
 Apropos of a beautiful young wife worth s4O,000,000, who had just divorce ed her penniless husband In order to marry again, Henry F. Dixey, the comedian. said at a dinner In New York:
 "The young man who maries for money has none too easy a time of it. His rich wife Is apt to tire of him and throw him out in a few years or else she is apt to limit his allowance to 25 or 50 cents a day
 "'I married money a man once said to me.
 Wasn't there woman attached to it?' I asked
 "Yes, you bet there was he ex- plained. So much attached to it that she never parted with a penny.

him that sour title when they read his figures. He says: For one year past Vancouver the largest city of British Co., lumbia, has wholly exempted from tax ation real estate improvements. I was told-in fact, it amounts to a general un- derstanding-that during the last six months an average of five families week had moved from Seattle to Van couver. I cannot vouch for this abso- lutely. for the figures are not official, but I am so far from doubting it that I only office at Ottawa, however. does inform me officially that nearly as many immigrants have left the state of Washington for Canada during the last year as during the years preceding. The figures are as fol- lows: 1907, SS29; 1908, 7517; 1909, 9366; 1910, 17,734"
 MT. Mock adds: "Washington and Oregon together have in four years, since 1906, sped 43.979 citizens into the larger liberty of the Dominion of Canada" On an average each citizen took 5000 with him.
 It is evident that sentimental reasons no longer govern loyalty. Economic forces drag the Irishmen from the old sod, Scotchmen from their crafts, Eng lshmeh from their village, just as they drag the Russian Jew from the insecurity of his town. the German, Austrian, Greek from their comparative poverty, to find greater security and abundance here. Toulth of July orators may spout gen. erouslyt concerning the land that quaffs the ocean of humanity and drinks in all her waves. But we are actually getting notable object lesson. and observing that the same forces that pull men into the United States also pull them out of the States into the Canadian west. It is final ly a question of welfare. And the ques- tion of welfare Is decided by the speed with which provinces and states learn the eo onomic facts set before them in the modern gospel. Mr. Henry George, with his doctrine of economic vents; MT. AL fred Russell Wallace, with his land na- liberalization scheme, and all the Single Tax clubs and political free thinkers of the Tom Johnson type, have not simply thrown dust into the air. The seeming dust for good or evil was seed, and from the seed has sprung the tax sys- tenn of Western Canada.
 By this I do not imply that Henry Georges single tax doctrine was g. sehs me of land naturalization. What were the boundary bills of this or that theory at it's inception is very small

We are told that the vice president was "visibly agitated," that he called a sena- tor to the chair, resigned to him the gavel, sought MT. Bailey, threw his arms around him and besought him to recon sider. Then there was gathered In con- ventice with the vice president such senators as Root Lodge, eHale and Bur- rows, all of whom were overcome with grief because of this awful calamity that had befallen the country In the loss of the services of this great man.

Pensacola Should Acquire and
Operate a Deep Water Wharf.

Pensacola has of the finest railroad terminals
in the world Within another year. these will be added
by the erection of other deep railroad wharves
But Pensacola does not possess such thing city
owned wharf where deep draft ships load and unload
The building of railroads and the opening of the
Panama canal will bring steamship lines Pensacola.
It will be the business of the railroads get those lines
here.
But the new steamship lines will handle through i'm
port and export freghtreigh that the railroads will
either haul in or haul out.
No railroad is going to encourage-or even permit,
if it help 't-the establishment of steamship line
whose business to bring freight Pensacola for local
coastwse consumption carry from Pensacola the
products of her industry.
That kind of steamship line would be in direct
petition with the railroads and the latter will have
hand in promoting such enterprise.
The only way steamship lines for car
ryng Pensacola freight is to build municipal wharf and
then invite the steamers to come.
With such wharf, the business public will save
thousands of dollars annually in freight rates. Every
merchant who receives goods from New York Atlantic
points have the benefit of and
one knows what that
Suppose that such wharf 5000 100000 The inter
would about 100000 per year and the
of maintenance possibly much more making total of
100000 year.
The Journal alone could $4,000 year in freight
rates paper hundred business institutions making
similar average saving could 100000 per year,
and this would only be small part of the total annual
saving in freight rates to the city of Pensacola
The city government, the commercial association, and
the public generally find nothing profitable for
consideration at this time than municipal wharf.

When a person is rescued from the wa
ter, forget everything else but the
saving of the fiicl1ering life before you.
Roll the body along a fallen tree, a
barrel or any other object convenient
and at hand so as to allow the water
to run from his mouth. Work vigor-
ously his arms and legs, and do what
ever you can to get air into his lungs,
the object being to start respiration.
At all events do not give up, for the
last thing you do might save a life.
Act quickly, work vigorously and keep
at 1t, for many a man taken from the
water limp and seemingly lifeless has
been saved by prompt and vigorous
work.
The first thing is to get the water
out Of the stomach and lungs. The next
is to restore respiration. With breath
ing restored the victim is in fair way
to recovery. OF course prompt return
of respiration is essential.
When a man is taken helpless and
unconscious from the water do not get
excited and allow him to die from in
attention, but do the only sensible
things that can be done-strive to
quickly relieve him Of the water and
restore respiration.

Bridges VS.. Ferry
Across the River.

It is generally understood that the
county commissioners of Escanabia
and Santa Rosa counties Will have the
question before them to either build a
bridge across Escambia river or else
provide a power driven ferry.
1t is also the prevailing impression
that they will either provide the bridge
or the ferry. In doing this they will
do much to benefit the residents Of
both counties and will open up a Sec
ton Of good farming country that is
handicapped now.
The people want the bridge or a
ferry.
The Journal asks the commissioners
of both counties to use thought and
take a glance into the future before
they decide to give the people ferry
instead of bridge. If a ferry is built
It will only partially fill the mission for
which it is intended and It will be a
matter of only a few months until the
people viii want the bridge as well.
A ferry suitable for crossing the
water where it is proposed that the
ferry will operate will be an expensive
one, and, according to those who know,
1t Will take some twenty minutes to
make the trip across one way.
Such being the case it will be very
unsatisfactory, for the round trip will
require three quarters of an hour and
anyone arriving a few minutes after
the ferry left one side wtS1d lose prac-
.tically an hour waiting for it to return.
A ferry that will be strong and large
enough for the work will be an expen-
sive one. The. men necessary to OPP
crate it win be expensive and the gaso-
line bill will be large. More than
likely the ferry would stop running at
rishtfall. which would be a great in
convenience.
The bridge is the better plan. A leg
Of the national highway, either the one
from Triton or from Jacksonville, will
cross Santa Rosa and Escambia coun-
ties and we ought to do all we can to
make this highway through these coun-
I ties as good as it will be in other
counties.
4 The bridge will cost more than the
ferry, but the people had rather pay
the price and get what they want
