THE GREAT SEAL
OF THE CONFEDERACY

The nevis from Washington to the
effect that the great seal of the Con
federacv has been found and reposes
now in the prosaic receptacle of a no
tel vault in Richmond will set at rest
q theme of fascinating speculation
and mystery which has been agitated
by the people of the South for many
years. It has been perhaps period
of not more than twelve months past
since a statement was made bv the
aged bOdyguard of Jefferson Davis,
now resident of Washington, in The
course of a newspaper interview, that
the seal would never be found, as he
alone knew it's hiding place, having
buried it in Georgia after receiving
it from the hands Of the Confederate
States President during the latters
flight to the Far South after the
abandonment of Richmond.
In this instance the usual expert
ence is realized, apparently, the con-
tusing of one thing for another and
the gradual development of an Ordi-
nary transaction into what grew into
a great mystery. The seal, ii appears,
was removed from the office of the
Confederate Secretary of State, Judah
P. BENJAMIN, by a clerk under him a.
the time of the evacuation Of the
Southern capital, and it came into the
possession later of Rear-AdmlraI Sci
fridge, of the United States navy,
who, when young lieutenant, in 1872,
was commissioned by the Government
at Washington to purchase a number
of Confederate State papers from
Virginia collector of mementOS OF the
lost cause. After having sold the pa
berS to Lieutenant Selfrldge he gave
them the seal as a present. 1t had
been in the formers possession ever
since. while for period Of more than
forty-five years the people of the
South regarded it as having been II
revOcably lost. The relic, which VIII
grow in hist Orical value with the
years and ultimately find its place IN
the museum of the Historical Society
at Richmond, no doubt, Will lose
nothing of its mystical charm through
the fact of its having been purchased
from its iatC owner by three Virgin
ians for the sum of $4,000. 1t should
be a matter OF no small satisfaction
to the people Of the South that tie

Today Is Clean-Up Day
In Pensacola.

Mayor Reilly has issued a procla-
nation in which he set aside today as
a general "cleaning-up" time for
everyone living in Pensacola. Those
interested in making Pensacola a city
beautiful and city healthful will Join
in the movement today if they have
not already put their premises in
shape.
Filthy surroundings make g home
unhealthy, unattracsive and a nuisance
to the neighbors even If the person
who allows his premises to become
filthy does not object to them.
There is general movement on foot
TO make Pensacola city free from
flies and mosquitoes and a thorough
carrying out of Mayor Reilly's orders
today will make the task much easier
for the ones leading this movement
Flies breed in Nth.
Mosquitoes breed in broken bottles,
tin cans, buckets and tubs Of stagnant
water or in any place where stagnant
water is allowed to remain for more
than a few days. It Is the duty of
every resident. white and colored alike
TO put their premises in order.
1t Is thought that every resident and
property owner will realize the benefit
of making this city as sanitary and as
free from filth and breeding places for
flies and mosquitoes as possible and
will comply with Mayor Reilly's order
but IL there are those who do not the
board of health is going to see to it
that the persons. SO falling will be
punished.
The city is going to clean up its
property and the residents must do
likewise.

The Masses
Are Usually Honest.

The Journal reads with interest an
article in Survey demonstrating that
largo percentage of the people are
honest. Contrary TO reports, which say
the average man will not pay his debts
until forced to. It shows that the He
brew Free Loan Association OF New
York during the last five years has
loaned to 91,566 persons $2,500, 900, and
that only $500 has not been returned.
This organization helps worthy men
and women, without reference 20 race
or creed. who need small sums of
money, and amounts have been loaned
ranging from So TO 5000. OF the $4,000
still unsolicited 1t is said that those
falling to return II were in the ma
3ority OF cases not dishonest. but were
not able to make the payments.
Last year the society loaned $780,.
D 900 to 10000 persons and the weekly
installments for returning the Dor
rowed money have been regular and
prompt.
While this society is a charitable one
and does not charge any interest
which makes 1t only natural that the
borrowers want to repay the money
promptly--it brings out the point that
the average man, at least So per cent
of them, will meet their honest oblf-
cations when it is possible for them to
do so.
1t proves that there is no excuse for
the loan shark to operate anywhere il
people with money will form such or
carnations as the one in New York
10 lend money to deserving persons
when they need it. When a reasonable
amount of interest is charged they
would gladly pay it, but when the in
terest amounts to more than the priu
cipal it cannot be expected that those
in dire circumstances will keep paying
the blood money without resistance.
The wealthy people find it necessary
10 borrow money, and 1t is but natural
that the poor man finds himself al
times in need of money. But the banks
cannot lend him the money and the
loan sharks gouge him.
Mr.. Morgan and men with millions
might find that they could do a lasting
good by helping the poorer classes
aolng when they are in need by lending
them money and charging small rate
of interest. They might lose some o.

Would be Good for Florida.

Under the new election law passed
by the last legislature Of Kentucky
any person who wants to run for office
in that state. whether district, county
or municipal. can do so without incur
ring much expense. The state will pay
the expense of all primaries held by
either party and hereafter no man viii
be deprived of running for office on &C
count of the expense. How would a
similar law work in Florida Lake
land Telegram.
Such q law would work all right in
Florida and such law represents one
OF the needs of our state today. A
state primary paid for by the state
and in which all political parties may
have the right to participate If they
so desire, would solve some Of the
perplexing problems which confront us
today in connection with our primary
system. Each party. of course. would
have its own ticket and ballot box,
and, if necessary or desired, could be
represented in the voting place. 1t is

I want to speak a good word for the
