very laws which they have on
their solemn oath sworn to sup
port. This is situation so bad
and disgraceful that it needs no
comment from us. But hardly
having recovered from the shock
of the action taken by the Re-
publican members than we find
that the Democrat members who
stayed at home, all of whom have
taken the oath to support the
constitution and the laws Of the
state, sending word to the refu-
gees in the city of Cincinnati
that if they will return to their
state that they, the Democrats,
will not enforce the laws and
the constitutional provision pro-
vidlng for arrest Of absentees,
and that they may go free and
unmo1ested and the people be
damned. 1t seems to us that the
honors, such as they may be, are
about equal, and that it has been
a squabble in which the people
have been absolutely ignored.
AS stated hereinbefore, during
the absence of the fifteen mem
bers in Ohio, two United States
senators were to be elected, and
were elected. Since that time it
has been openly charged on the
floor of the House that bribery
and corruption were used in the
election Of one of the senator's,
and that the other one was so
closely allied to him that he was
odo1iferous.
Poor bleeding Mingo,. whose
name has been dragged in the
mud and mire Of the filth Of cor
ruptness, whose fame has gone
abroad as being the harbor for
cut-throats and political ma
rauder, never in her most palmy
days pulled off a political func-
ton that comes anywhere near
equallng the present situation.
1t is true that in our precincts
with our executive committees
and petty organizations, when we
are not under oath, we sometimes
jockey for position, but we are.
glad to say that when it comes to
performing duty under oath
imposed upon us by law, the
legislature at Charleston has
beat us by lap. What will be
the result of the election of Sen
ator Hatfield as president Of the
senate, we at this time can only
surmise, but it looks very much
to us as though the gentlemen
who succeeded in getting them
selves elected to the United States
senate are in the rue for their
seats and the people, the state,
and the Democrat party Of West
Virginia, can go to the dogs just
SO long as their selfish ambition
is satisfied.

A paragraph is going the
rounds about a girl dying from
tight laclng. An editor comment
ing on the fact says: Those cor
sets should be done away with
and if the girls can't live without
being squeezed we suppose men
could be found who would sacri-
flee themselves. AS old as we
are we'd rather devote three
hours day, without farthing
of pay, as brevet corset, than
seeing these girls dying in that
manner. Office hours almost
any time"
According to government sta
tistlcs the life of the farmer is
conducive to longevity. But what
of the farmers wife? Here the
statlstlclans are silent. The time
does come whom the crops are
laid by and the farmer has his
rest; but no rest time comes to
his wife in the majority of cases.
The monotonous, unce asing
round of daily toll saps her
strength and wears on ernerves.
Farmers as rule do not provide
the help that their wives need in
performing their various duties
and do not comprehend the heavy
burdens they bear.
A man told this the other day.
Though we know him we'll, his
name has slipped our memory
Just now; anyway we know he
was telling the truth. He said:
l went into store the other day
and paid small account; before
| finished the transaction another
man came IN and collected the
same money that | had just paid;
he then handed it to me again in
settlement of what he owed me.
| have read of these things but
this is the first real experience
of the kind / ever had" 1t very
often happens that a ten-dollar
bill settles several hundred dol
lars in debts during week.
We have the profoundest res
pect for good man, who is hl-
man, man whose heart beats in
sympathy for his brothers, who
are weak and human like himself.
who are struggling along the
rugged road of life handicapped
by environments and heredity.
But the goody-goody hypocrite
who says he has never for "a mo-
ment deviated from the straight
and narrow way, and in whose
veins runs water instead of blood,
does not appeal to us. We love a
man for a. that man with
passions and sorrows, one who
can enjoy life to its limit or who
can suffer the most exquisite an
guish, man who is not ashamed
to look an erring brother in the
face, or lift fallen comrade.

REFERS ReAIN TO
THE TRANSFER SHED

Editor Pensacola Journal.
Far be it from me to intrude where
angels fear to tread" And l hope I'm
not committing this offense in again
intruding my observations upon the
patience of your readers to the effect
that at the intersection of Palafox and
Gregory streets, in ye modern city of
Pensacola, stands a certain ancient
Tiny Shed, some twenty by twelve feet
in dimensions, with two very anti
quated Wooden Benches set back to
back, longitudinally down the center of
said Tiny Shed.
If in doing so, give offense, 1 most
humbly and abjectly apologize
But, Test we forget" (also apologies
to Mr.. KipIing, 1 believe) 1 repeat:
There is an ancient Tiny Shed at the
intersection of Palafox and Gregory
streets.
Alphabetically, said Tiny Shed is an
abomination. Therefore, it's an eye
sore. Otherwise, however, except in
several other very essential particulars,
it's all right
II common report be true, said Tiny
Shed is being maintained by the Pen
saCola Electric Company, ostensibly as
Transfer Station for the convenience
OF its patrons; also, said Wooden
Benches are intended for the comfort
Of the passing throng that, perforce of
circumstances beyond said passing
throng's control, must daily pour
through said Tiny Shed, or walk.
There is great deal more to be said
that I promise shall be said in future
communications, with refer1Aice to the
Tiny Shed. But at this time, it is suf-
fcient to fix in the minds of your
readers, who compose the Passing
Throng. that there is a Tiny Shed;
that they are entitled to better transfer
station accommodations. and above ALL
If the Tiny Shed is to be perpetuated
indefinitely, that they are at least en-
titled to a separation Of the races in
the Tiny Shed, as is guaranteed them
under the law, on the street cars.

Dlscourtesy
And Littleness.

During the course of Fridays ses-
sion of the house of representatives, a
message was received from Governor
Gilchrist in regard to his measure
remedying the operation of the law in
the courts with respect to elimination
o. technicalities. The house refused
to hear the message read, although it
amounted to only six pages Of legal
cap.
This was purely case Of discourtesy
TO the governor Of the state and of
littleness on the part of the legislators.

They cannot claim a lack of time for
the whole week had been wasted and
nothing of any consequence had been
accomplished, and when the governor
tried to help them he was not even
given 2 hearing.
Maybe the learned legislators think
they cannot be advised on a subject
which is Of as great Importance as
this one, but when the committee
recommends 1t unfavorably and the
legislature refuses to listen to the mes
sage of the governor on the subject, we
are led to wonder what the represen-
tatives think they are in Tallahassee
for. anyway.
If they do not consider this import
ant matter they will not be represen-
tatives of the people, for the people In
every walk Of life are asking that the
courts be made places Of justice IN
stead of a farce or comedy. The
judges of the supreme court of the
United States, the judges Of the ST.
preme courts of the various states.
and the judges of the circuit courts
speak in no uncertain terms against
the continuance Of technical 1oopholes
which either delay or cheat Justice.
When technicalities are done away
/ with the courts will not have half the
work that they are now compelled to
do. Thousands Of dollars are yearly
wasted by the state because cases have
to be tried and retired both in civil
and criminal courts. Many people do
not take their troubles into the courts
because it is more expensive to get
| justice than to loose their contentious
outside the court rooms.
The Journal. on behalf Of the peo-
pie Of West Florida, wants to know
why the representatives did not heed
the recommendations of Governor Gill
Christ in the first message and refused
to hear his special one on this came
subject? The people are tired of the
farce Of technicalities and Governor
Gilchrist is voicing the sentiments 81
all Florida when he appeals for his
measure.
Ample time is found to consider the
harem and hobble skirt bills and the
committee reported favorably, but
when the people want something o.

the aid Of Aldrich at SO many critical
times during the tariff debate in the

have foreclosed against making him

Triumph For the
Railroad Commission.

After a hard fought battle extending
over a period OF several years between
the Florida Railroad Commission and
the Louisville and Nashville railroad,
the railroad commission has finally
won out and the road will no longer
charge four cents a mile for passenger
traffic on its divisions in Florida
Too much credit cannot be given to
Louis C. Massey, the attorney for the
railroad commission, who has untir1ng-
" and increasingly worked in this case
since 1908 when the railroad commits
sion ordered the Louisville and Nash
vile to reduce their passenger rate.
Senator Stokes of Escambia county,
and Representative Thomas F. West
of Santa Rosa county, are entitled to
part of the credit for the railroads
agreeing to lower the rate, for they
had introduced bill in the senate and
house making it compulsory that the
railroads charge not more than three
cents a mile for travel.
For about eight years the road had
completely ignored the mandates of
the railroad commission, despite the
constant work of Attorney Massey, and
the fear of the state statute to be
passed no doubt contributed to make
1t agree to reduce the rate as asked
ice
The railroad deserves no common
dation for at this late day agreeing to
do what every other road in Florida
has already done and what this road
should have done years ago. The
Louisville and Nashville officials
fought to the last ditch before they
surrendered; they held the rate VI
until they saw that state law would
finally drive them to submit and die
not give up until forced to do so.
But admitting that the fear of g
statute to compel it to charge only
three cents, the Louisville and Nash
VILE has come to an agreement with
the railroad commission and It is q
triumph for that body. This vic
tory will give it added strength and
hereafter its commands will be treated
with more respect.
The agreement reached calls for the
three-cent fare to go into effect by
May 8. This means much for the
counties traversed by that road. Fol
years these counties have been handi-
capped with the exorbitant passenger
rates which have in a large measure
kept the surrounding country from de-
YelOping. It means much for all Wes

BEST FOR BISCUITS.

"A prominent teacher in one of the Do

writes that she is using Cottolene with
excellent results. She says:
"For biscuits Cottolene is all that
could be desired. The biscuits are light
and faky, with none of that Disagree
able odor often found in foods short
ened with lard. Cottolene is also an
excellent medium for frying croQuettes

Mission of Corn Clubs.

Mission of Corn Clubs.
A writer in the Survey looks for the
corn clubs, so popular in all parts of
the country, particularly in the south,
to become important factors in the
social life of the rural districts. These
clubs, it is pointed out, usually meet
at the public school house, and the
school house is usually located at a
central and convenient point. When
the men and women, boys and girls,
Of the community come together to
discuss a matter of mutual interest 1t
is pretty certain that they will branch
off into other matters Of mutual in
terest; and so the discussion Of ques-
tons affecting the body as a whole
will be promoted. In addition to that,
there will come social gatherings that
will afford both the young and the
routine.-Savannah News. Corn clubs
in the south have done more for the
section than anything else we can now
recall and the prospects of much more
good is promising. The spirit has
been infused in the kitchen as well as
the field, and within the past week a
girl submitted to a group of epicures
sixty separate dishes prepared from
corn that were pronounced excellent
to the taste and beneficial in effect
Corn has been neglected in the south
but will not be long hereafter, and
the change may be rightfully attrib-
uted to the formation Of Boys Corn
Clubs.-Gainesville Sun.
