what fine president Governor Wilson

pointed to the record of his useful life

Just now these same Bull Moose

reached themselves in many directions
but in none is the strain telling on

is OPPOSED TO THE
FIVE YEAR BIRD LAW

Quintette, Fla, Oct. %, 1912.
Editor Pensaco Journal.
Please allow me space in your paper
to say that ] am opposed to the pro-
posed five year bird law, first, last and
all the time, and TO say a few words
in reply to c. w. McDonald's letter
in your last Sundays issue.
Mcdonald claims that presume to
criticise a correspondent and the
farmers for stand taken by them in
favor of the proposed five year bird
law. If he had said that 1 assumed
to criticise the quality of farming at
Cottage Hill, those who saw my letter
might have agreed with him. How
ever, did not mean 1t as a criticism,
for expect they do the best they
know how.
Mcdonald then says I misquoted the
article In Sunday Journal of Oct. 18th
from Cottage Hill. l quoted them as
saying they were jubilant over the Pc
tition for the five year bird law: to
use the exact words in the article from
Cottage Hill: THE farmers here are
unanimously In favor OF the petition
that is being circulated asking the
passage Of a law prohibiting the kill
ing of birds for a period of five years"
and SO on, with a very jubilant ring
to it, so much so that 1 mistook the
word unanimously for 'jubilant."
and I am willing to leave it with Col
Webster and his friends.
Mcdonald claims the most casual
observer will admit that the birds are
decreasing. If he was ailuding to quail,
which. in my opinion, is the bird in
question, he is sadly mistaken, as any
sportsman or one that is familiar with
conditions will substantiate me in say
ing that there is more quail in Es-
Gambia county today than there was
ten years ago, and II those who are
familiar with the situation would
speak out Mcdonald would think he
was in a western hailstorm.
Why doesn't Mcdonald prove to US
that the killing of birds is responsible
for one field OF corn being entirely
destroyed, and another within one-half
mile being unmolested.
Mcdonald makes the claim that the
birds are natures insect destroyers.
Will he please tell why the Great
Creator would create insects and then
birds only to destroy these insects?
Then Mcdonald comes on to my job.
Don't get uneasy. Mcdonald. I own 20
acres Of this good old Florida dirt and
I believe can raise peas and potatoes
enough to Jonah" the poor farm, and
I haven't the least dread OF the sports
men, either.
He says the only reason give for
killing birds is fun. Now, Mcdonald,
if you will breakfast with me Satur-
day, Nov. End, 1912, will show You
reasons No. and 8.
If Mr.. Mcdonald was familiar with
farming, he would understand that all
farmers encounter unfavorable sea-
sons. The authorities all claim for

For the next few days everything

should be subordinate to the great In
terstate Fair.
There is every reason to believe it
will be the largest, best and most at
tractive in the history of the organ
lzation and every citizen OF Pensacola

making this success more complete.
II You cannot do more, you can at

sible. 1t will be. worth seeing.
The agricultural resources of the
country tributary to the Deep Water
City are really wonderful and the ex-
hibits at the Fair will prove their
wide range and their superiority
The amusement features of the Fair
promise to be splendid and the vast
concourse of people from all over the
country is worth meeting and seeing.
Every visitor to the Fair will have
message from his home county.
Make him tell you about it and in the
meantime tell each visitor the story of
Pensacola and of the greatness that
within her lies.

DANDRUFF AND FALLING HAIR
CAN Be STOPPED WITH HERPICIDE

Every woman who is obliged to wear
false hair or man. toupee, feels that
it is a misfortune. What makes the
burden so doubly hard to bear is the
knowledge that the loss of natural hair
could, in most instances, have been
easily avoided.
The arch enemy of good hair Is the
dandrun germ. This is now a we'll
established scientific fact. There is one
remedy on the market which used
regularly, will kill the germ and keep
out every trace Of dandruf.
This remedy is Newbro's Herpicide
long known as the Original Dandruff
Germ Destroyer. BY keeping the scalp
clean, Herpicide not only prevents the
hair from falling out but allows II to
grow as nature intended. Begun In

Campaign Will
Close Quietly.

Every good citizen of this country
deeply deplores the act of the mad
man who shot Colonel Roosevelt at
Milwaukee a few days ago. 1t is sin
cerely to be hoped that his wound
viii speedily heal and that he will be
speedily restored to perfect health.
When the dastardly act of the craz-
ed assassin was first announced, a
great wave Of sympathy swept over
the country for Colonel Roosevelt that
was sincere and lasting. 1t was an
nounced in many quarters that this
attempt to take the coloners life
would make him million votes and
that it might make him president
again, just as the act of that other
fanatical and crazed foreign assassin,
who slew the kind and benevolen.
Mckinley, made Roosevelt president
in the first place.
The Pensacola Journal does not be-
lieye this. While admitting that ap-
parently Roosevelt is a man of des-
tiny, lightning seldom strikes twice
IN the same place and it is hardly
likely that one man will twice be ele-
waited to the presidents chair by
means of an assassin's bullet
The issues Of this campaign should
not be and will not be determined by
the act Of a maniac or through SYM
pathy alone. Voters should thinl,
deeply and carefully consider the is
sues before they cast their ballots
We believe they will do this.
Doubtless the remainder of the
campaign will be quiet There will
perhaps be little vituperation in the
remainder of the speeches made. but
there will unquestionably. be a. great
deal of quiet thinking. The indica.
lions are that when the votes are
counted, Governor Wilson will have
carried great majority of the states
The Florida Republicans and neal
Republicans are having a lively little
