Congratulations to
The Fair Association.

The Journal congratulates the Pen
sacola Interstate Fair Association upon
the selection OF Capt. T. F. welles as
president for the ensuing year.
No better selection could have been
made. Capt. Welless name spells sue
cess--no matter with what enterprise
it may be connected. The captain him
self knows more about agricultural
fairs than any one in the organization
and his knowledge Of what is needed
together with the enthusiasm which
his personality generates in any under
taking, means a successful fair this
year.
The retiring president, Hon. John z,
stillman, has done good and loyal ser
vice and he has most worthy sue
cessor in the person Of President T. F.
Welles.
Gentlemen of the Fair Association
we again congratulate you.

Conspiracy Against :
The Living and the Dead.

A conspiracy against the dead sounds
rather heartless, but from the Tampa
and Jacksonville papers it appears that
the registration officers and the good
citizens are determined that no more
dead persons shall vote In the Demo
cratic primaries. There have been no
resolves in regard to general elections
so far as we have heard, but dead
ones cannot vote in the primaries.
Not only have the officers and good
citizens Of those places conspired to
prevent dead persons voting, but they
have done some investigating to find
out whether persons have falsely
sworn to become registered and when
they find that such is the case they
are going to make examples of them
that others may profit by. :
Reports have been circulated for
years that many votes are cast in the
names Of persons dead, out of the
state, or at home sick, and If such is
the case now is the time to put stop
to it. The law-abiding citizens with
the cooperation of the supervisor of
registration and the state attorney or
county solicitor may call a halt if
they will only interest themselves.

VOX POPULI.
PEACE ON EARTH,
GooD WILL TO MEN

Editor Pensacola Journal.
The great social battle for the con-
troll of America is now on. The colors
are unfurled to the breeze. the pickets
have been recalled and the clash of
battle is resounding over hill and vale.
On the one hand are the hosts of
special privilege, the representative
part of the people, the past and present
rulers, who have gathered unto them
selves nearly all the riches, blessings.
opportunities and pleasures of life,
save the greatest pleasure of all, that
of doing something for others.
By their great influence both So
cially and industrially, they have sur
rounded themselves with an army of
Tories, which has not as yet been
numbered.
On the other side of the valley lies
the army of the plain people, vastly
outnumbering their foes, but clothed
in battered garments and their bodies
weakened by malnutrition and over
work. superinduced by vain efforts 20
drive the wolf from the door.
Their ranks are hard to hold in line
by their leaders, for they grasp at
every succulent bud or berry along the
march, their necessity is so great.
In the rear of this great army are
numberless widows who are widows
indeed, wearing their lives away, doing
their. best to satisfy the hunger Of the
fatherless little ones, who are crying
aloud for bread.
In the wake of this great army are
left untold and unheard Of thousands
of the first, second and third genera
tons, dying of the great white plague
that disease that fiourishes amid pow
erty and despair. and propagates itself
only amidst overwork, worry and
weakness.
In the ranks of the opposite we'll fed,
we'll housed and mentally trained hosts
are found, those who stand for things
as they are. Those who loudly pro-
claim America already has represen-
tative government. Those who say
the law, as now applied, falls alike as
a mantle over all. Those who say they
believe in letting all the people rule,
but who loudly proclaim the tyranny
of the majority" Those who rule with
an unseen hand, making puppets of
their fellows.
Those who have not as yet seen the
vision!
What care they for their brother?
They have never known fatigue,
anxiety or heartac che; their lusts are
their gods and the Tories who follow
them their soldiers
Amidst all this strife, struggle, pain
and hunger comes the lowly Nazarene
with peace offering, forgiveness and
blessing for all, and healing in His
wings.
Out of His mouth proceeds perfect
craftsmanship and the fruits of his
| leadership are bountiful, ripening har-
vests for all the hosts of men.
Men Of the earth, the greatest of all
| PeacemAkers and the most just Of all
Judges is pleading in vain to be heard.

THURSDAY, APRIL IS. 1912.
Vote For a Real Candidate
Not a Substitute.

Woodrow Wilson IL a candidate for
the democratic nomination for presi-
dent in every state in this union.
He is a nation wide candidate. He
liz not in alliance with any other can
didate or any special interest. He is
running on his own merits and the
people themselves are fighting his bat
ties.
In F1orida, the men and the interests
opposing Woodrow Wilson found him
stronger than any other candidate in
the feld-so strong in fact that they
decided to pull down the particular
candidate whom they had pitted against
him and put in his place a SUBSTT-
TUTE candidate whom they had cen
tered upon for emergency purposes.
Consequently the democrats of Flor
ida, instead Of having an opportunity
to vote for ALL of the candidates as
the state executive committee proposed
they should have, are now compelled
to choose between simply two-one real
candidate and one SUBSTITUTE can
didate.
But Florida democrats have no rings
in their noses and are not in the habit
of bending their backs to the lash OF
any boss or interest.
Florida democrats will therefore
vote for REAL candidate and not a
SUBSTITUTE.

About That
Jelly Culver .

Washington society with Mrs. Nick
Longworth as leader spent a big
part of the Lenten season, so it is said.
practicing the Jelly wobble" The Jelly
wobble is said to be a dance, even If a
description Of 1t fails to convince you
II Is so.
Speaking OF this dance one who
watched II in operation says II is "a
sort of stationary run. 1t starts from
the neck and works down. 1t undulates
in the beginning and ends in undula-
tions, without ever stopping over, some
what as the sea-better. as a bowl of
jelly on the side table when the heavy
footed domestic enters. the dining
ROOM"
1t occurs to us that Nick's wife might
be engaged in something more whole
some if--but Nick may be a good fell
low, after all.
To us 1t appears that the 'jeliy wob-
BILE" was planned especially for couples
long on avolrdupois. For instance, a
couple like Uncle Jules Solomon might
do the "jelly wobble" and please the
audience immensely. but we hardly
think that Hayes Lewis and a partner
proportionately as long could get away
with it to advantage.
Society has been willing to tolerate
the suggestive dance on the stage
when it was done by artists who can
make the audiences laugh and then
forget as soon as the curtain falls, but
these artists are scarce, and Washing
ton society is not likely to develop any
new ones.
Dancing is not Objectionable when
the limits of propriety are not over
stepped and 1t appears that the dance
is growing in favor over the entire
land where 1t Is conducted properly
but Nthe bunny hug. the walrus wiggle
the grizzly bear and the jelly wobble
with mixed crowds are not destined to
perpetuate the dance nor should they
be tolerated. If Washington society
wants to do the hoochie- koochie dance
let the women rent them a hall and d.
it to their entire satisfaction, or better
still get them a tent and join some
street fair.

According TO Uncle Abnsr.

1t is getting so 1t amt quite as much
of a disgrace to be a Democrat as il
used to be.
There is only one safe way to write
a love letter to a married woman, and
that is to write il to your wife.
1t is purity hard TO get an old maid Ia

American war.
Some men are born fools and others
try to interfere in a quarrel between
a man and wife.

We see that Harry Floyd is again a
candidate for the legislature from
Franklin county. Floyd was one of the
big men in the last legislature. Aside
from his keen wit and humor and his
flowery eloquence he is a deep thinker
and as far as The Journal recalls he
has always be in thorough accord with
the masses. He is one of the most in
tellectual young men in the south to-
day. He has attracted wide attention
throughout the country as a writer and
in the last session he served his county
faithfully and we'll and was a credit TO
the state. Floyd is fearless and feels
no hesitancy in exposing corruption
wherever he finds IT: he is liberal and
is willing to accord other men the
right to their opinions, but he thinks
for himself and when he talks in the
legislative halls he commands the at
tention of all because he says some
thing and says il in a way to command
help from the members.

ESlANTHE>SPOR;
NZoMZEINT
BY roy K. N1OuETON.

If you had leg that was made from
tree.
At last l got tired of sawin' the thing
And then / got brilliant idea, by jing:
1 planted my leg in the old public
square,
And IL started CROWN right up in the
air.
And then most as soon as you could
wink your eye
The town had a flagpole three hundred
feet high;
1t kept right on CROWN, and never will
stop.
In two hours you couldn't see quite TO
the top.
No flag to the top of that flagpole will
get;
You see the blame thing is still CROWN
yet.
And that is the end Of the story of me
And the wooden leg which was made
out'n a tree.
