For the Development
Of Florida.

The Journal likes to agree with the
legislature at all times and it affords
US pleasure to know that the Iegisla-
ture seems to favor the measure to
bond the state for the ten million dol
lars for good roads and to use the
state convicts in the construction work.
This is a measure that will prob
ably. If it is passed. do the state more
good than similar amount expended
for any other purpose. Instead of
being expense to the state it will be
a good investment and the taxes on
increased values. long before the bonds
are due, will amount to many times as
much as the amount expended at first.
The land values increase at such a
rate that the owners will be sorry
that twice the amount was not ex-
pended.
The proposed roads In the bin in
troduced by Mr.. Angle win make the
state become known as having one of
the best road systems in the entire
south, and this one fact will be the
cause of many thousands of home
seekers coming to Florida.
There Is nothing that is as objec-
tionable to homeseekers as bad roads,
and at present Florida is very far
behind other states in this matter, but
the proposed bond issue will make 1t
one of the first states In the Union
within five years.
Sentiment is not divided in regard
to good roads. It has been several
years since we have heard of anyone
objectfng to a county or city expend-
ing money for road building. The state
bond issue would be still more at
tractive to the taxpayer.
We wish to impress 1t upon the
minds of the members of the legisla-
ture that the people are in thorough
accord with them and want the bond
issue and they need have no hest
tency in passing the proposed bill.

CASE AS YET
HOWEVER, 1T is EXPECTED THAT
ONE WILL BE RENDERED
SOMETIME ToDAY-ROTH DE-
PENDANTS AND PLAINTIFFS
SEEM CONFIDENT OF FAVoRA-
BILE DECISION.

Up to o'clock last night Judge j.
Emmett Wolfe had rendered no decis-
ion in the injunction case Of Marston
& Quina against the board of county
commissioners of Escambia county, at
least the attorney for the commission
ers had received no notification Of the
decision.
1t was generally expected that the
court would render a decision during
the day yesterday, and both the plain
tiffs and defendants in the case are
awaiting the announcement Of the de-
cision with a very marked degree of
interest. Both sides maintain an air
of confidence.
1t is thought that a decision will
be rendered today, however, as Judge
Wolfe announced Tuesday afternoon
when the arguments were completed
that he would render a decision with
in q day or SO.

When Governor Wilson spoke in vir-
ginia last week the one introducing
him to an audience said: He has
lived in North Carolina, which can
highly recommend as an experience
good for the soul of any man. He has
good South Carolina blood in his veins,
which has its fine uses, too, unless 1t
falls to scrapping with the corpuscles
from North Carolina He has felt the
.exhilaration of mere existence in Geor-
sia~ He has been tried out on the
anvil of Pennsylvania and Maryland,
and it would seem as IL ne might in
time be translated from New Jersey.
He has learned wisdom from books
and sympathy from men and tough
ness and virility of spirit from that
most testing of human experiences a
ten years tenure of the presidency of
an American university" Certainly
such a record is an enviable one and
viii be hard to beat, but what he really
needs to complete his career and make
his nomination for president a GER
tainty is for him to get winter home
in West Florida.

FRIDAY. MAY Il. 1911.
How the Democrats
Are Making Good.

@This does not complete our tariff
legislation. We introduced this bill
to give the farmers cheaper agricul-
tural implements. and the city dwell
ers cheaper meats and bread. We
could not go beyond that without en-
dangering the revenues. We intend
to take up, in proper order, all tariff
rates and to adjust all of them" Such
is the statement Of Mr.. Underwood In
regard to the free list bill as passed
by the lower house Of congress.
This shows conclusively that the
Democrats are making good their
every promise The Democrats have
never contended for altogether free
trade, for they believe that every
American citizen is willing to pay his
or her prorata part of the expenses
of the government, but they do not
believe in taxing the poor for the ben
eft Of the rich, and the free list bill
was In direct line with what was
promised in the Democratic cam
paigns.
Mr.. Underwood says that the free
list does not complete the tariff leg
islation The free list contained all
this time and the other tariffs will
be taken up in regular order. 1t re-
quires time to attend to this and the
people are fortunate indeed that the
free list bill is as large as it is, for
It benefits all classes. except the trusts,
rc1
already by Republican legislation.
Mr.. Underwood deserves much credit
for the able way in which he has
handled the reciprocity agreement and
the free list bill Another leader with
less judgment and lacking in deter
mination might have in some way
favored one section or one class Of
people. but such has not been the
case. There was strong pressure
brought to bear in Mr.. Underwood's
own district, but he unflinchingly hued
to the line.
The Democrats have fulfilled their
pledges. For sixteen years the fight
has been made against protective tar
iff-the people had been told Of the
way lAlC 4ACP0OA1ScsAS HCAC SlN4h5 IA1O
trusts the power to practically rob
them of their daily earnings. but some
how the people would not be con-
WINGED.
Last year the case was different
The people had begun to realize the
truth and in many states Democrats
were elected to congress. The result
has been satisfactory They have done
what they promised the people-the
reciprocity agreement and the farmers
free list bin have passed the house,
and more is promised.
1t is now up to the senate and Presi-
dent Taft and 1t will remain to be seen
what disposition will be made of the
matters. However 1t is not thought
that the senate will fail to pass the
bills nor President Taft to sign them.
True, the senate is not enthusiastic
over the reciprocity agreement and
Is less so in regard to the free list,
but the members have seen the signs
of the times and will not dare go con-
trary to public opinion which is very
strongly in favor Of both.
This will be a lesson to the public
though. For real good for the masses
the Democratic party is the one to
look to for assistance.

Takes Issue With journal.
The Pensacola Journal styles the
agreement, signed Monday by the L.
& N. and the railroad commission, by
which the Scent passenger rate be-
comes effective May 8, a Triumph for
the Railroad Commission" We view
1t rather as triumph for the L. &
N. Several years ago the commission
ruled that cents per mile only should
be charged by this road. The road,
however, continued to collect 4 cents
up to the present writing, and is still
doing so. Outside pressure was finally
brought to bear and the road found
itself being pressed into a corner, so
magnanimously compromises with the
commission. the agreement being that
the road shall keep the 25 per cent
overcharge it has during these years
collected from defenseless passengers.
The road does not even have the cost
Of the litigation to pay, save probably
a paltry $4,000 or $4,000 fee to Special
Examiner Wilson and those incurred
by itself in it's own defense. The state
of Florida pays its own expenses of the

advocate advertising this, the most IA
vored section of the best county in
Florida, on the one hand and on the
other condemn the Journals plan to
tax all, including every laborer and
tenant farmer, to boost the property of
the land owners. 1t suggests that our
subscribers talk to us. We fear no
kick from our subscribers for they will
evidently endorse the last sentence Of
our editorial to which the Journal took
exception, Let those who are to profit
by increased land values do their own
advertising" We care nothing for
being dubbed kicker so long as our
kicking is against laws intended to
place new burdens on the poor solely
for the benefit of the rich. However,

dition could be brought about. AS
long as young soldiers were sent to
Jail and herded with criminals for
trivial offenses, they believe. the army
would continue to be Stunned by a
large class of desirable men who
would otherwise be inclined to enter
the service.
One of the first reforms to be in
augurated was that of the sentences
administered for slight attractions Of
army law. The most common of these
offenses now, as 1t has been for many
generations, is desertion, and most
of the assertions are unintentional.
Upon conviction the culprits are
sentenced to three to six months in
military prison, not because their
offense merited such punishment, but
because the ancient regulations had 1t
that way.
Under the new system the punish
ment for mild cases of desertion is
merely deprivation of leave, extra
work or the cutting OF of special al
lowances. The guardhouse Is only to
be used for real offenders and tho
military prison for hardened Grim
inals.'
