Stillman On
The Florida Republicans.

The latest issue of Golfers Weekly
contains the following:
A resident of Florida wrote to Henry
S. Chubb, member of the national Re
publican committee for Florida, sug-
costing presidential primaries. Mr..
Chubbs reply was:
1.-THE general sentiment of the Re
publican State Central Committee of
Florida does not favor presidential
primaries"
Naturally. The character of the Re-
publican organizations in the southern
states is thus described in a letter to
Golfers from John Z. Stillman of Pen
sacola:
Editor Collier's-Of course the pres
idential primary is the thing. Justice
and decency demand 1t, but | think
you suggested and asked southern Re-
publicans to write their respective ma
tional committeeman, urging them TO
stand for this policy at the coming
meeting of the national committeeman.
Don't you know any more about
political conditions in the south than
to ask people to waste paper, ink, and
postage stamps? Just as we'll address
his Satanic Majesty, with the request
that he organize his forces into an
auxiliary of the Salvation Army. The
southern Republican organizations are,
as now organized, self perpetuating
machines. They nominate presidents.
and in return get for themselves fed
eral offices.
1.-THE presidential primary would
take from them all that they live for.
It would also deprive the president of
the United States of the power he now
possesses to renominate himself or
such favorite as he may choose. For
the southern machine Republicans it
would be hara-kiri, suicide. sacrilege
even. all combined.
"Woodman, spare the tree"
Inasmuch as John himself held a
lucrative federal Office by Republican
appointment for about Is years, be
ought to be in a position to know.
Also, knowing what he does about Re
publicanism in Florida, we don't blame
him for his recently announced deter

reason to believe the farmers viii reap
rich harvest and will find ready
market for their diversified crops.
This year will merely mark the be-
ginning, but the beginning has been
good one. Where the planters or
ganize and market their crops together
results can be accomplished which
cannot be done when the individual
farmer expects to market his produce
independently.
There are yet thousands Of acres IF
untitled lands in Escambia county
which may be purchased for a small
price, but when the truck farmers be-
gin making rich dividends from a
small investment the prices Of lands
will increase Immediately. Men from
other sections who want to locate
where a small tract of land will be
sufficient to produce an independent
income had better come to Escambla
county before all Of the lands are
taken.
An ideal climate, a healthful loca-
ton and a land without droughts is
the territory around Pensacola, and
the truck farmers will bring this be-
fore the world before the end Of the
present year.

A BAD WINTER

There seems to be an unusual amount
of bronchial trouble this winter and
spring, but it need not cause alarm.
for so many people have learned how
tc apply common sense methods in
checking It.
Just remember this-no cold or cough
can get very firm hold on really
strong, healthy person.
Mrs. Mary Mathes of Atkins. s. c.,
says: 81 find Vinol can't be beat for
bronchitis. After an attack of it that
lasted for Fights months I took Vinol
and got complete cure"
1t is the combined action of the
medicinal curative elements Of Gods
livers without the greasy oil, aided oy
the blood making and strength Great
ing properties of tonic iron, that makes
Vinol so efficient in curing chronic
coughs, colds and bronchitis, at the
same time building up the weakened
rundown system.
To escape bronchial troubles, then,
take Vinol and become strong. We do
positively guarantee Ninol to give you
perfect satisfaction. Whites Pharn-

Better Times
For Escanbia.

Lands which have been laying idle
tivated and never before in the history
of this county have the farmers been
awakened to the possibilities Of the
soil as they are at this time. The
Journal is pleased to see the farmers
organizing to promote their interests
cially truck farming, in Escambia
county will eventually make of the
farmers wealthy men and the sooner
they begin the better 1t will be for
themselves and the better it will be
for Pensacola and Escambia county.
When the Commercial Association
employed Mr.. Hardy to act as agricul-
tural agent for the county It made a
long step forward, and. he has and is
doing much to promote the interests Of
the farmers.
The farmers are planting radishes
for the early market. Not enough for
any one farmer to lose enough to hurt
him, should the market for the first
year not be suitable, but every farmer
in certain communities plant a small
amount and cultivates 1t with care and
as a result a large acreage is planted.
Potatoes and watermelons are plant
ed the same way. only on a larger
scale. Tomatoes are being grown on a
CO. Cooperative plan, as are other kinds
of truck produce.
These things are planted in addition
to the regular crops, and there is every

A West Florida
Press Association.

Hub Allen feels that the editors of
West Florida should be organized into
a press association. This was first
suggested, we think, at the banquer
after the Rube-Journal ball game In
Pensacola last summer and since that
time Editor Allen has had it on his
mind.
The idea is good one. and would

men getting closer together. which is
to be desired. Since The journal was
defeated by the Rubes last summer the
newspaper boys OF this section have
felt like they know their neighbors
better.
Since every paper will have q rep
resentative at the ball game on April
1, It appears to The Journal that the
day following would be the time to or
ganize the West Florida Press Asso-
citation. Mr.. Allen suggests DeF'uniak
as place to meet for organizing, but
1t seems 10 us that when so many are
together it will be the best place in
Pensacola
However, this is merely a sugges-
ton. The Journal wants every editor

You all know Dannitte H. Mays, the
present congressman from this district.
And If you did not know it, we now
tell you that he is a candidate for re-
election. He tells you in his an
nouncement, which you will find on
another page. that "he always votes
for u.s. sees as we see, feels as we
feel. and is truly one of u.s." Many
things have come to pass for the adj
vancement of tho interests of the Third
district since he has been in congress.

things are? Representative Mays an
nounces that he is running on his

any one ever been able to find IT.?

spoken for on the floor of the house,
what has he actually done in his four

SUNDAY. MARCH 10, 1912.
Control BY the People
Is Coming.

This idea Of letting the people say
what they want and do not want Is,
OF course, distasteful to Editor Har-
ris's idea of old fashioned democracy.
but it is exactly in line with what the
editor Of The Journal has advocated
ever since he began thinking on po-
litical ubJects.-Pensacola Journal.
The Journal does not state the posi-
tion Of the editor of this paper fairly.
He has said that it is impossible for
the people to vote upon every meas
ure. because IL would be impossible to
get every measure before them in tan
gible shape; and, II It were possible,
then there would be no necessity for
city councils, boards or county COM
missioners, school boards. state legis-
latures, and a federal congress.-Ocala
Banner.
But who, pray, has ever suggested
that the people would be required OF
have desire to vote upon every
measure?"
And who. also. has ever suggested
that city councils, boards of commits
sioners. state legislatures, or the fed
eral congress be done away with?
In those states where the initiative
and referendum Is in operation, the
city councils. boards of commissioners,
school boards, legislatures, and other
bodies Of the kind still exist. No one
proposes to do away with them.
AS a matter of fact, the vesy exist
ence Of the initiative and referendum
IN almost all cases renders its. use un-
necessary city councils an other
similar bodies are not so apt 20 over
ride public opinion when they know
that the people can Immediately call
them to account for II. !
Any measure that will bring the
government closer to theszgsf vple or
that Will give the people a nyEe direct
control of their public seryants is
good measure.
The special interests may not like It,
the political bosses and dictators may
oppose it, the reactionaries and stand
patters may shake their heads about
it, the Harmons, the Underwoods, and
the Tafts may all try to stay it's prog
ress, but nevertheless this direct con-
troll by the people is coming.
And the Ocala Banner, of all papers,
ought to be able to read the hand

No thief can steal It. No Islander
can tarnish 1t. It is a treasure as I'M
perlshable as ones soul.
He who has honesty. though no
money, is rich; he who has money
without honesty, is poor. This is no
pious aphorism. 1t Is hard fact, which
every man might apply to his profit
every day OF his life.
He who has honesty has about all
there is in the world worth taking out
of 1t with him. For in 1t are en-
'braced all the good qualities Of mind
and heart.
And all this is to be estimated by a
great bank at a "two-spot."
Little wonder that "1462", knowing
the quality and the value of honesty,
spurned the paltry offer and consid-
cred himself insulted.
