A Russian tells funny story OF his
first encounter with the English Ian

The day after his arrival in London
be made call ON a friend In Park
lane and on leaving inscribed in his
notebook what he supposed to be the
correct address.
The next day, desiring to go to the
same place again. he called a cabman
and pointed to the address that he had
written down. The cabman looked him
over, cracked his whip and drove away
without him.
This experience being repeated with
two or three other cabmen, the Rus
sian turned Indignantly to the police,
with no better results. One officer
would laugh, another would tap his
head and make a motion initiating the
revolution of Il wheel, and so on.
Finally the poor foreigner gave it
up and with a great deal Of difficulty
recalling the landmarks which he had
observed the day before, found his way
to his friends house. Arrived there
and In company with one who could
understand him, he delivered himself
Of severe condemnation OF the cab
men and the police of London for their
lmpertinence and discourtesy.
His friend asked for look at the
mirth provoking address and the mys-
terry was solved. This was the entry.

Crimes are committed which should
not be punishable with @ fine for the
fine is so often paid by another and
the punishment IL not felt. The Jour
nal believes in Jail sentences for almost
every offense because the rich may
pay their own fines and are virtually
immune from punishment The Bir-
mingham Ledger expresses our senti-
ments exactly in saying that when q
woman is convicted, or when pressed
so closely that she pleads guilty to
white slavery" the lowest and most
wicked of crimes, to fine her s200 is a
shame. Women of that class can get
men to pay fines. In this case Edna
Shelly, of Louisville. confessed to
having aided In sending a girl to
Tampa, Fla, for immoral purposes.
The court fined her $500, which is an
absurd ending of plain case OF
shameful guilt. The woman richly
deserved punishment and is not pun
ished at all. Some man paid the fine
and the debased woman Is permitted
to be at large to commit like crimes
at win. Even a thirty day Jail SEN
tence would have been better than a
fine, which is no punishment at all to
a woman of that kind.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10 1911.
Congressman Clayton
For Supreme Court.

Congressman Henry D. Clayton, Of
Alabama, is being mentioned as pos
sible, and by some as a probable, sue
cessor to Justice Harlan, on the bench
OF the supreme court of the United
States. There is no way to calculate
upon what President Taft VIII do In
the way Of appointments. Every one
he has made has been a surprise to
his friends and those who are not sup
posed to know what he is thinking Of.
Justice Harlan was Republican
and the natural thing for the presi-
dent TO do is to appoint another Re-
publican, but the supreme court is a
non-partisan body and II President
TAFT should appoint q southerner and
a Democrat It would not be surprising
in tne least.
When President TAFT appointed Gov
ernor Hughes to the bench it is said
that Mr.. Clayton was among those
considered by the president before
making the appointment and 1t might
be possible that he will be chosen
this time.
OF the ability and the moral caliber
and the honesty of Henry D. Clayton
too much cannot be said in his favor.
He has been one Of the leaders in the
Democratic party, and. while he has
fought long and hard against the poll
Giles of President Taft and his fol-
lowers, they know that the positions
Of congressman and a supreme court
Judge are altogether different and that
Henry Clayton would be above per-
sonal feeling in doing service in the
capacity Of a jurist.
In the selection f a person to fill
the place made vacant by the death
OF Justice Harlan the president has
many to choose from. There are nu-
merous men so well qualified for the
position that the president might con-
suit his personal wishes and then not
go wrong.
The south would like to know that a
southern man would be selected and
It has many offer. but north Of the
Mason and Dixon line they are to be
found also.

VOX POPULI.
SEc'Y WATERMAN DEFENDS
COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATION

Editor Pensacola Journal.
In connection with recent editorials
in The Journal and News regardin z
the new depot Of the L. & n. r. r.
and the statements therein contained,
either direct or implied, that the com
mercial organizations of Pensacola haG
not made efforts to have such new
depot built, I desire the use of a little
of your space to set forth few facts.
1t is not my purpose or desire to
claim for the Commercial Association
nor for the old Chamber of Commerce
the credit for the building of the pros
pective depot. II is not my purpose
or desire to withhold from the L. &
N. Railroad any credit due them for
the expense which they have already
incurred and the further expense
which they are about to incur in order
to say that the two commercial Or
CARNATIONS, of which / have had the
honor to be secretary, have not been
inactive in the matter, as was stated
by one of the local papers, and as
might easily be inferred from the edi-
torial in the other.
On June 10. 1908, the board Of d.
rectors OF the late Chamber of Com
merce. on motion OF w. c. Crawford.
directed the transportation committee
to take up with Mr.. Saltmarsh the
matter of a new railroad depot. The
10 the were
that under the then condition of 1nan-
cial stress all through the country 1t
was not to be expected that the L. &
N. would at that time expend any
large amount of money in a new pas
senver depot at Pensacola. The COM
mittee was further instructed, how
ever, that with the new hotel assured
through the efforts of a special COM
mittee OF the Chamber of Commerce,
with fourteen or fifteen miles of
paving about to be begun, with many
other improvements completed and in
the course of construction. the time
would soon be at hand when a thor
oughly adequate and modern pas
senger station would be imperatively
needed at Pensacola. The committee
was, therefore, directed specifically to
request Mr.. Saltmarsh to take up with
Louisville the matter of q new depot
at Pensaco in order that preliminary
arrangements might be made and the
railroad get in shape to proceed with
out delay in the construction of a depot
at such time as local development and
traffic conditions justified the railroad
in a heavy outlay for a new passenger
depot.
The transportation committee of the
Chamber of Commerce, consisting of J
W. Leadliey. chairman, T. A. Jennings
and F. F. Bingham, with the secre-
tary, called on Mr.. Saltmarsh as PEI
instructions. The committee reported
to board meeting on July sth that
Mr.. Saltmarsh had been visited, and
that, while entirely non-committal as
to the prospects of 8 new depot, he

had assured the committee that he
would lay the matter before the gen.
eral offices at Louisville, explaining
the position and requests Of the Cham
Der Of Commerce.
do not know that this action had
anything to do with the decision ulti-
mately rea ched by the L. & n. to build
the depot. We understood, however,
subsequently that the L. & y. people
had the matter in mind, and last year
1t became known that the I. & n. was
buying IN property for the specinc
purpose Of building a new depot.
Touching the allegations that no
stars were ever taken by local ofhcials
with a view to securing a new pas
senger station here: It Is my UNDER
standing, derived from the discussion
between Mr.. Saltmarsh and the COM
1ittee above referred to, that at
time somewhat earlier than June, 1905,
the L. & n. had planned a renovation
and partial remodeiing Of the depot
then and now used; that the authori-
ties and others had rather discouraged
the expenditure OF any considerable
sum on remodeling Of the old depot
on the ground that If 1t were kept
painted and celan It would be pretty
nearly as good as II 1t were remodeled,
and that any outlay for remodeling at
that time would probably delay the
ultimate building Of such q depot as
Pensacola would really require when
the then expected and now realized
DEVELOPMENT had actually begun.
Permit me to repeat that I do not
desire to claim for the commercial or
ganizations of Pensacola the credit for
the new depot. believe, however,
that 1t IL only fair to contradict the
impression that might have been
created by the editorials that CONNER
ciSs ORGANIZATIONS in Pensacola had
oVeTlooked the matter entirely. Rec
ords show the contrary. and we had
enough information to know that the
matter was working along as rapidly
probably, as we could have forced It
If we had attempted any coercion.

Cardinal Gibbons's
Opinions.

With the most profound respect for
Cardinal Gibbons aud the work that he
10 doing for humanity in America,
and according to him the right to ex-
press his opinion which every man
should enjoy, we cannot help but ex-
press the conviction that we do not
think he Is qualified to condemn the
initiative and referendum.
Theorists have nearly always been
against the initiative and the referen-
dunn, especially those of the older
school. but times and conditions have
brought about the need of the initia-
tive. referendum and the recall. Car
dinal Gibbons is a great man, but he
Is not thoroughly conversant with the
political situation of the day, even If
he does possess a broad intellect.
There are thousands who will "a
cept Cardinal Gilbbons's opinions as
absolutely right, but to do this is a
mistake even though he should en-
dorse the most progressive ideas. He
is great man in his chosen work,
just like Mendelssohn, Edison. and
others who have devoted their life and
talent to one thing, but none OF these
men would be able to understand the
political questions of national and in
ternational Importance as well as the
ones who have made these questions q
study.
Cardinal Gibbons has a right to ex-
prtss his opinion. 1t Is the duty OF
every man to reason these questions
out for himself. But the opponents OF
the Initiative and referendum are at
tempting to use the opinion OF Car
dinal Gibbons for political gain. and
not because they respect his opinion
OF course there are many people who
