PUT THEM ON RECORD
REGARDING PARCELS POST

Editor Pensacola Journal.
In Sundays Journal l noticed a news
article that a Pensacolian had return
ed from an anti-parcels post conven-
tion in Nashville, to which he had been
q delegate, and I got to thinking and
decided that this parcels post bill viii
probably be the most important Ques-
tion before congress in the near future.
and that perhaps it would be a good
idea to try to induce our obliging can
didates. especially those for congress,
to indicate their position on this very
important question before it is ever
lastingly too late, as far as the voters
are concerned.
1t seems that the most serious and
the most talked of problem. or con-
dftion, in this country at this time is
the very high cost CT living, end be-
lieve that II is pretty generally con-
coded that one of the pCfn ciral causes
OF this condition is the great per cent
age required by the middle men, be-
tween the producer and the consumer.
These .Eliddel men form associations,
trusts and Inonopoltes to protect them
selves, and to perpetuate this great
per centage, and make IL greater, now
seem to think that this contemplated

tendency to interfere with their great
power and control over the necesaries
and luxuries of life. and 1 believe my
self that II would, and 50 they quietly
cali a great antt-percels post conven-
ton in Nashville and I notice in the
program that they had prayer. I sup
pose that they tried 10 get the Lord
to help them to prevent congress from

Pensacolian had the honor of being

What are they going to organize
Why. l suppose they are going to or
ganize everybody, who will organize
in order to make showing to con-
gress Of large number of anti-parcels
post members. And what do the pro-
ducers and consumers do? Why, they
pay the cost and grin and bear it. But
want to tell them what they can do:
They can insist on knowing a candi-
dates position, and vote accordingly
And they can refuse to organize.

was glad to see by your able edi-
torfal, few weeks ago, that The
Journal Is in favor of parcels post. and
hope enough others will declare
themselves to induce the candidates to
make known their intentions in regard
to this matter.

Tallahassee expects to get a two
hundred thousand dollar hotel TO take
care of the tourist travel and the big
crowds when the legislature meets, as
we'll as the commercial business. This
sounds good, for Tallahassee Is a place
which should be visited by everyone
who comes TO Florida, and many would
go there with proper hotel accommo-
dations, provided the hotels reach out
for business. Apalachicola, the st.
Andrews bay cities and all OF the
smaller towns of West Florida ought
to have hotel facilities for the tourist
travel and combine their efforts 70
bring them to West Florida Pensa-
cola is waking up to the fact that the
money left here by the tourists is new
money and can be brought here by no
other source and Pensacola is willing
that her tourists make a circuit
through West Florida for there are
many places worth going miles to see

Prominent Citizens Dine Noted
churohman In New York.
The testimonial dinner given by
prominent citizens IN honor Of Bishop
Alexander Walters at Young's casino
b New York on Wednesday evening,
Dec. 4, was magnificent tribute to
the bishops inspiring leadership along
various lines of work for the advance
ment Of the race.
All lines of distinction as to religious
creed and political aff1liation were done
away with, and men high up in the
affairs Of church and state, recognized
for their successful constructive work
for full manhood rights for Afro-Amer-
leans under the law, paid homage to
Bishop Walters worth as a leader Of
bis people.
Lawyer James L. Curtis, chairman
Of the committee under whose auspices
the dinner was given, acted as the
toastmaster. e. p. Roberts, M. D.,
spoke for the medical profession, and
William L. Bulkley, Ph. D., public
school principal, delivered the educa-
tional address. Other speeches repre-
senting the various phases Of racial
endeavor were numerous.
Bishop Walters in his response to
the many expressions Of appreciation
made by the different speakers con-
corning his work for what he believed
to be for the betterment Of conditions
was modest and had a kind word for
every one who spoke with reference to
any phase Of work undertaken by him
self.
