Do Our Diplomats
Buy Their Jobs2

It 10 hunliliating to believe that the
ambassadors and ministers from the
United States to foreign countries
have been practically buying these
jobs, the purchase price being in the
guise Of large contributions to the Re-
publican campaign fund Yet this ac-
cusation has, in effect. been made in
congress and 80 much credence has
been placed in it that the senate will
investigate the contributions made to
President Taft's campaign in 1908. The
records Of the Republican national
committee show that Larg Anderson,
minister to Belgium gave $4,000;
Whitelaw Reid, ambassador to Lon
don, gave $4,000; Robert Bacon. am
bassador to France. clipped in $4,000;
Richard c. Kerenes, ambassador to
Austria, was taxed to the tune of
10000 and Myron T. Herrick, the
present ambassador to France, as
chairman of the Ohio State committee.
turned over to the national committee
$4,000.
1t has been notorious that the diplo-
mats from this country have been very
inefficient. A great deal has been said
and written in defense of our shirt
sleeve diplomacy and great many cit
liens of this country have been lead to
believe that while our ambassadors
and ministers may have lacked some
of that culture and social grace that
characterizes the, old world diplomat,
at least they have been able and eff
history of the country for a half CEN
fury, it can be seen that this country
has been constantly making diplomatic
blunders and that at every diplomatic
conference. our representatives have
come out second best. The wealth and
power of this nation commands respect
at every court IL the world but for the
most part our ministers and ambassa-
doris have been kind of laughing
stock. Even the little petty republics
of South and Central America surpass
US IN diplomacy. This state of affairs
has long been a source of humiliation
to every true American. and now per-
haps the remedy is in sight. Perhaps
these enormous contributions to the
Republican war chest. is the key to the
situation.

music: I do know one whom I had
the honor of teaching at one time,
who can teach vocal music, and that
person is Miss Annie Mcmillan.
II the pupils could be taught to sing
by line and space it would certainly
be the better plan; but we have the
seven shapes now by which the pu-
pills can sing by the shape of the
note.
In instrumental music We are re-
quired to sound notes and time notes;
in vocal music we are required to
name the note, sound the note, and
time it.
Once upon a time / was boarding
at a house, and after supper, some
one proposed to have some vocal music.
Every one in the room took a seat
around the table and rendered some
of the sweetest music 1 ever heard.
Just imagine my chagrin, when I was
compelled to take a seat in the corner,
and tell my friends I had never learned
to sing by note! That was in 1855;
and, although had been teacher for

TAXES AND AMENDMENTS
TO THE CITY CHARTER

Editor Pensacola Journal.

list. / will call the attention of the
taxpayers to an effort which will be
made to get authority from the legis
lature to assess the people for publ
cation purposes. Now, Mr.. Editor, the
limit of taxation has been reached
here. Numbers of our people cannot
meet the expenses on their property,
and I call the attention of those in
terested that they may take action be-
fore 1t is too late.
End. There is a movement on foot
to have the city charter changed. The
last time we had the charter doctored
there was pretense of having it pub
lished, and after it went back to ITALIA
hassee there was a joker attached
which changed the charter very ma
terially. We don't need any more of
that kind of charter work" so we
need to watch that movement very
closely.
Srd. It seems to me very absurd
to talk City Beautiful so much. Spend
ing hundreds OF thousands OF dollars
to make improvements, and at the
same time allowing such unsightly
things as the billboards to be stuck UP
on our city thoroughfares. Talk about
being behind the times, the city is
badly behind in allowing them.

FAVoRs TEACHING MUSIC
IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOL

Editor Pensacola Journal:
I have been asked to give my opin-
ion upon the subject of teaching music
in schools, and would like to place my
self on record as follows:
Let me commence by stating that
am strongly in favor Of il for the
good, broad, American reason that
every child should have it's chance.
My experience Is that, like diamonds,
gold and silver, genius is found in the
most unlikely places and may be
hidden forever unless dug out
What is a school full of children but
a collection of embryos? And who
will dare to say what future forces
are there assembled?
It is the duty of the state to seek
out, foster, promote and encourage
such forces, to the ultimate benefit of
all.
Music should rank next to reading,
writing and arithmetic. for IL is a
universal language; and, with proper
training, 1t is as easy TO read music
as to read newspaper. II Is not
necessary to be musical to be able to
read music; music is absolutely me-
chanical, apart from expression; ex-
preston is a gift which can be de-
veloped, but not acquired; we are born
with or without that gift; We can re-
cognize and appreciate II without the
ability to initiate 1t, hence much
teaching is apparently wasted; yet the
only method of sitting the gifted from
the ungifted is by universal educa-
ton; and even the ungifted are COM
pensated by at least understanding
the game whilst the gifted are a gift
to the nation that amply repay the
digging.

Having secured the necessary books,
L began teaching the children at re-

the sweetest note in scale, we had
but little trouble in finishing the ac-

whole school could sing any piece in
the Sacred Harp, which was the only
music book to be obtained in those

have never seen any better songs than
those in the Sacred Harp. But the

name OF William Stewart, organized a
