The above Biblical quotation, in our

were chosen to ascertain. Had they

PERTINENT QUERIES
FOR COUNTY BOARDS

North Chumuckla, July 81, 1911.
Editor Pensacola Journal.
Your correspondent returned a day
or two ago from an extended trip
through North Escambia and the
northern and central portions of Santa
Rosa county, and on this trip heard
the National highway and the bridge
propositions thoroughly discussed.
Some folks are glad and some are
sad; some in good humor and some
"D-lh" mad. So it goes. We note
carefully and can truthfully state with
out hesitation that the citizens
throughout this entire section are very
much aroused over the fact that they
do not feel that neither Williams's
Lake, Johnson's Ferry nor McDavid
Ferry have been properly Investigated
nor considered.
we are intelligently informed that
the matter of constructing a bridge
across Escambia river was first agi-
tated in this immediate section, some
twelve or fifteen years ago. We are
told that these are facts that can not
be truthfully contradicted.
Your correspondent has been anthem
tically authorized by many of the old
citizens and business men through
out this entire section to state through
the columns of The Journal that they
do not conscientiously feel that the
citizens in the northern portions of
both Santa Rosa and Escambia coun-
ties have been justly dealt with in the
matter Of the bridge location, and, fur
Their, too, that they would not be bene-
fitted by bridge put at either of the
proposed sites below.
By request, please permit me to ask
a few questions:
Did the engineer and site commit
tee who were chosen to investigate and
select an available site to build the
bridge make a thorough Investigation
of Williams's Lake, Johnson's Ferry
and McDavid Ferry? Did they investi-
gate both sides of the river at these
points? Did they inquire as to the To-
cation of the lands, and the distance
through the swamp from hill to hill?
If so, we have never seen any report
of same, and we would be pleased to
know why neither of the above men
toned places were not considered by
the engineer and site committee and
recommended that surveys be made,
and to show wherein and to prove to
the public that the sites recommended
by them are more available than the
points above.
1t Is an indisputable fact that a
bridge can be built across the Escam-
bia river and road put through the

Reciprocity Before
Canadian People.

Just what will be done with the Ca
madam reciprocity agreement bill as
passed by the United States house and
Canada--not with the parliament-but
with the farmers, the laborers and the
rcor and wealthy alike. The ones
really affected for good or bad by reel
procity with the United States, will
decide the fate of the project.
The premier dissolved parliament in
order that the people should decide for
themselves. He is in favor of reci-
procity and the Liberal majority was
forty five, but he is a believer in the
people deciding vital questions for
themselves.
than the ratification of the reciprocity
agreement, for it shows the tendency
everywhere to allow the people to rule.
From this distanc it is hard to prog
nosticate on the outcome of the peo-
pies vote, for annexation talk will I'M
questionably influence many to vote
against reciprocity. who would other
wise vote for 1t.
There are many opponents to reci-
procity with Canada in the United
States and the same situation pre-
walls there, no doubt. Some of this
opposition is conscientious from a
selfish standpoint. Well informed men
here claim that Canada is getting the
lore end of the deal, while there are
leaders in Canada who claim that the
agreement is discriminating against
Canada.
The fight will be a hard one and
much light will no doubt be shed upon
the subject and when the Canadian
voters cats their ballots they will be
in position to do it intelligently.
1t is to be hoped that the annexation
farce will no be injected into the cam
paisn ana that the, tight will be a
clean one and one which will not cause
bitterness between the two countries,
even if the voters should decide against
reciprocity.
At any rate the people are the ones
to decide such questions and The
Journal is always willing to have the
people decide the questions that affect
them.

The Prevention
OF Malaria.

Preventing malarial fever in Florida

by the same means prevented from be-

other mosquitoes. 1t is thus seen that

such a manner that it win be inpos-
sible for non-infected mosquitoes to
feed on their blood and become in
fccted.
The medical side OF the prevention
OF malaria consists OF two important
factors.
The first, is the taking Of quinine at
certain regular intervals for the pur-
pose OF preventing the malarial para
site, should 1t gain admission to the
circulation, from remaining multiply
ing and gradually getting the ascend
enoy OF natures forces employed in
the combating of all disease produc-
ing organisms. For many years the
value OF quinine as preventive meas
ure was discussed pro and con, but In
the light of recent experiences Of those
who have made a study Of the results
obtained by this measure, there is no
doubling the excellent results that can
be obtained in the most malarial coun-
tries by taking a few grains Of this
drug daily, where persons as a result
Of their occupations have to be more
or less exposed to the bites Of the
aropheles.
The other point concerning the med
ical prevention of this disease Is the
treatment Of all i'll with the infection.
The person who has an attack OF ma
laria today and remains under treat
ment for few days only, or until such
time as. the actual symptoms of the
disease pass of, is a constant menace.
II is these cases that harbor the ma
larial parasite advanced to the state
where the mosquito is necessary for
its further evolution. that the mos
quito becomes infected. Persons har-
boring this form of the parasite may
apparently be perfectly well for
months, but are continually injecting
mosquitoes that would otherwise re-
main perfectly harmless, Every case
OF malaria should be treated by one
familiar with the disease, and the pc
Rod Of treatment should cover such
time as to insure the total destruction
of all forms Of the parasite.
Let the state of Florida be the first
of the southern states to show that
we can do what others have DONE
Eternal vigilance will have its reward.
1t has taken many centuries to get
the upper hand of many of the dis
eases rampant in the past ages. but
now seldom seen in epidemic form.

Traffic Ordinances
And Accidents.

When the automobile and motor
cycle collided at the corner OF Palafox
and Strong streets Monday afternoon,
in which collision a young man had
his leg broken in two places, it might
have been avoided had the partici-
pants in the affair observed the ordi-
nances in regard to traffic.
The Journal does not pretend to say
who was at fault. Both parties might
have been, but the accident only
serves to remind Pensacola vehicle
owners Of all kinds what may happen
at any corner in the city when the or
dinances are utterly disresarded. That
accidents do not happen every day is
not the fault Of many reckless drivers.
Mondays accident should serve as
an object lesson to the reckless ones.

FINE HAY AND
PEARS ADDED
TO COLLECTION
INTEREST IN AGRICULTURAL Ex-
HIsIT CONTINUES TO INCREASE
TWO KINDS OF HAY ARE
SHOWN BY PENSACOLA FARM
LANDS co... r. sUGGs SENDS
IN FINE keller PEARS.

Quite a number of articles were
added to the agricultural exhibit in
the off1ces of the Interstate Fair As
sociation yesterday, among them being
some articles which are so far the only
specimens of their varieties. Among
these are some velvet bean forage and
some crab grass hay, both Of which
were brought in by superintendent
Hardy, of the Pensacola Farm Lands
Co., and both of which are especially
fine specimens Of the products.
Another collection, which is so far
in a class to itself, is a number Of
Keifer pears, contributed by J. r
Suggs, of Cantonment. These pears
are as fine specimens as can be found
almost anywhere, showing that this
section of Florida is admirably adapt
ed to their culture.
Some splendid ears Of corn were
brought in from the farm of ]. z. Still
man at Molino. While some Of the
other corn in the exhibit may bear
more ears to the stalk than this, there
are no individual ears to compare
with those in the collection of Mr..
Stillman.
In addition to the above there are a
lot of other farm products being daily
added to the collection. In fact, the
collection already on exhibit in the
offices would make a very creditable
county exhibit during the fair. The
public is cordially invited to call and
examine the exhibit at any time.

TELEPHONE SERVICE

Speaking of the delay and unsatis-

due to a great extent to subscribers
calling UP during the progress Of the
fire and asking the operators regarding
the fire.
Subscribers. as a rule, are furnished
with information by the operators, but
they should not expect them to stop
and tell of the location of a fire, and
answer innumerable questions al such
a time, as other subscribers are caused
to suffer by the lack of service.
