Great Cotton Crop
Of the South.

Cotton is king in the south now
just as much as it was fifty years
ago. OF course no one expects the
great crop of last year to be dupli-
Gated. but there is every indication
that the crop viii be a heavy one
and perhaps the largest in the history
Of the staple except the crop of last
year.
The condition OF the crop one week
ago was better than ten years av-
erage. Already more than three mil
lion bales have been ginned and il
an early frost does not catch great
deal of it, the years crop is likely to
reach fourteen and q half million
bales. The price is not so good as
Il might be, but with bumper crops,
the south is piling up great wealth.

They Hang Men
On Less Evidence.

When J. Pierpont Morgan, head OF
a number of the greatest predatory
trusts in the world and the organizer
of the steel trust, admitted on the
witness stand that he contributed an
enormous sum to the election OF
Theodore Roosevelt. he said he did
it for his country's good and that
he expected no favors in return.
Just after the steel trust magnates
made the Roosevelt managers a
present of s25o.o0o, they wanted as
surance that the hands of the depart
ment of Justice should be tied and
that the operation OF the Sherman
act should be suspended, while the
steel trust absorbed the Tennessee
Coal and Iron company in defiance OF
the law.
They got the assurance and the
trust absorbed the independent COM
pany. Roosevelt got s25o.o0O for his
fund and j. Pierpont Morgan made

vOx POPULI.
Mr.. BINGHAM ON MUSIC
IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Editor Pensacola Journal:
see by your issue of this morn
ing that the Civic league, back from
vacations spent at northern summer
resorts, or idle days spent here on
our bay shore" got down to business
yesterday and had, among other
things, a heated discussion as to
which was of the greater Importance
the teaching of cooking or music,
in our public schools.
Permit me to say that in my opin-
ion. the teaching of reading, writing
and 'rithmetic Is Of so much great
er importance that neither cooking Or
music has any place in the public
school
One young lady Is quoted as saying
that the happiest hours of her life
had been spent with her music, learn
ed in the public schools of Indiana
Going some.
But against that I will state my
experience in the public schools OF
st. Louis, Mo. We had compulsory
vocal music, and the most miserable
hours OF my existence were spent in
dora me la -fa-so'ling along behind n
fussy, nervous little music professor
We could all do do and ra, but the
rest OF IL was SqueakS ana squalls
and squawks that can hear yet
when I sleep badly.
And nothing came Of it No Pat
It's. We all had to go to work for a
| living.
The great majority of boys from
IL to Is can no more be taught vocal
music than a pig can be taught to
| whistle.
If the Civic league demands 1t, why
I suppose we'll have to have music
| in the public schools, but please, Mr..
| Editor, for the sake of your boys and
my boys, don't let them make 1t COM
pulsory. If music it must be, bunch
| all the dear little Mary Andersons
| and Carusos together and teach them
music, after school, and let the nor
/, NAL. unaffected children and their
] tired teachers go home
The aim should be to impart as
much solid, useful knowledge to the
child as possible, and we should re-
member, all the time, that the effect
| of all these frills, including hygienic
lunches "at nominal price is to
force children out of the school room
| and into the world before their time.

WANTS HOME LESSONS
IN SCHOOLS ABOLISHED

Editor Pensacola Journal:
At risk of giving offense to the in
dividuals responsible for the existing
school system, I wish to enter d
strong protest against home lessons
for children.
want to see home lessons abol-
ished absolutely and entirely, as q
bugbear and a nightmare to children
already overloaded with nearly a
whole day of lessons in school Be
fore quoting the method which now
obtains in the better class of Eng
lish schools let me say that I do not
as an Englishman wish to praise such
method because 1t is English, but be-
cause it is wise; and I would praise
it equally If it were Chinese.
Let the curriculum be arranged so
as to cover four hours daily of school
instruction, from nine till one O'Clock;
then allow half an hour for lunch !:
then an hour and a half for what is
now called home lessons. Thus, by
three o'clock, school and all that per-
tains to school, will be finished for
the day. What2 Isn't that enough
Heaven help the poor children; haven't
they been in school for six dreadful
hours? Why, at this very time q
movement is on foot to reduce great,
big, burly workmen's hours to six
hours day, and to pay every man
Jack of them a minimum wage of
two thousand dollars a year.
/ mention this latter without criti-
cism, but use it as q parallel for
children's hours. Even four hours OF
instruction is a big task for both
teachers and children; four hours
shouting, four hours listening and alb
sorbing: yes. it's a big task to keep
up day after day. The hour and a
half of preparation should be an hour
and a half of silence; lessons being
prepared under the watchful eye of
the teacher. who will not be slow TO
take notice of a child who shows evil
dence of doubt and the need of a
minute or two of friendly assistance.
I am more and more convinced that
it is not the number of hours that
count, but the intelligent use that is
made of them.
Mr.. Editor. this is a. public matter;
I have heard many complaints on the
subject; yet people are so constituted
that they take no action, though they
would like to.

independence
In Candidates.

Never before in the history of po-
candidates for national and state Of
fees been so independent and sc
free from entangling alliances as are
the democratic candidates in the pres
ent campaign.
When William SuIzer accepted the
democratic nomination for governor
OF New York. he said:
IF I am elected governor will
be governor in fact as well as in
name. While I believe in party or
sanization, shall not accept orders
from anybody. If the people of New
York make me their governor they car
rest assured shall be the governor
and the executives office will be in
the capitol"
This is the right kind of talk and
best Of all, it is true. Florida demo-
Gratis have the same kind of candi-
date for governor in Park Trammell
The incorporating independence OF
Woodrow Wilson is the trait in his
character that appeals most strongly
to free Americans.
Time has been called on the bosses
in all the parties The Quays, the
films. the Platts and the Murphys
can no longer go to the creatures they
place in office and demand what they
want with impunity.
The freedom and independence Of
the democratic Candidates indicates &
new era in governmental affairs.

Adam Was Foolish,
But No Coward.

Adam blamed Eve, like the coward
he was."e said a preacher in a recent
sermon.
It is probable that Adam is dead
enough to make abuse Of him or mis-
statements as to the conditions under
which he lost Eden harmless to him
or his immediate descendants, but
there are two viewpoints to that
Eden story, as to all others, and from
either it is hard to make out Adam
was a coward.
Eve did flirt with the serpent. AS
result of her prolonged Irritation she
did eat of the apple. She thereupon
did take the apple to Adam and did
tempt him with It She was to
blame 1t was truthful in Adam to
blame her. not cowardly. But it was
foolish of him to say anything about
It. He ought to have kept it to him
self. 1t was as wise in the rather
now, not to tell all one knows. There
are truths about others blameworthi-
ness that never should be spoken,
and there were such the minute that
the first woman began gossiping with
creature that had command of the
English language or whatever it was
they used under that apple tree.
1t was Adams first question OF
policy and he spoke out. whereas the
average man of today would say to
himself: Yes. Maria has made a
mighty bad speculation in that Gold
Mountain Bonanza Bullion Mining
Co. stock. but I'll say nothing, for #
ever made a slip I'll never hear the
last of it. Adam adopted the wrong
policy and is hearing from 1t these
thousands of years later.
Adam was impolitic, but no cow
ard. He knew the awful consequences
OF eating that apple. He dared them,
because he loved the woman. He was
threatened with fiery hell for himself
and his children and children's chill
dren. But he put fear behind him
and ate the apple in order to be an
equal sharer in the frightful punish
ment Of the woman whom he loved.
Would the pastor and mankind gen
orally call him a brave man had
Adam said: "No. Eve. you've eaten
the apple and may go to hell alone
| for all of me?"
Indeed. in that whole affair. Adams
personal conduct showed him to be
an exceedingly brave man, though
| perhaps unusually stupid in love.

actors, occupied the local theater of a

The elder Sothern addressed him in
the midst of the most unearthly noise,
as follows: "Mr. Hanrahan, will you
be good enough to take charge of the
gallery and keep order for me? |
shall feel very grateful"
The result was magical! Bill cracked
the heads of few of his erstwhile
fellow rioters with such good effect
that It was only a little time before
the best Of order prevailed,
