How the
Shoe Pinches.

For weeks many-if the OceLia Ban
ner was not guilty it has no right to
cry out-of the papers opposed to
Woodrow Wilson insisted upon know
ing where he was getting money to
finance his campaign. His manager
openly told of all Of the contributions.
but even this did not satisfy some Of
them who were against him.
When Underwood supplements were
circulated in the papers, The Journal
said:
Not that The Journal cares, but It
is rather noticeable that the papers
which inquired with so much vehem-
ence from whence came the money
used in Wilson's campaign, are not
asking to know who is paying the
newspapers to circulate the Under
wood supplements.-Pens Journal.
The OcaIa Banner objects to the
criticism as follows:
Our esteemed contemporary, The
Pensacola Journal, is not as tolerant
and magnanimous as some other DEM
ocratic newspapers that we might
name--the Ocala Banner, for instance.
When the Ocala Banner was sent from
the Woodrow Wilson headquarters any

extraordinary equipment of the Prince
ton candidate for the presidential ofic G

its news columns, carrying out its
policy to print all sides of a question,
and to say as many good things as
possible in behalf of democratic can

Journal not only refused to give 1t
publication. but got off on its ear, and
saw a base conspiracy and unadulter-
ated duplicity in it. AS long as the
world lasts we guess 1t will continue
to make all the difference in the world
whose OK is gored. But really there is
no reason that we can see why The
Pensacola Journal should show so
much rancor and get so hot under the
collar because of this one little Under
wood supplement. This paper gives
the New Jersey governor credit for
being an extraordinary man, possess
ing wonderful qualities. with a clean,
If not always a consistent, record. TO
his credit; still, he is not the only tall
timber in the democratic camp, and
The Journal should not be so sensitive
when other candidates are praised.
The Journal comedies the right to Il
candidate to spend reasonable
amount in getting before the public,
and his friends have right to, and
ought to. help him pay the expense.
The Underwood supplement will cost
more than thirty thousand dollars 20
circulate it over the United States.
but this is not an unreasonable
amount when a mans friends are will
ing to help him in the campaign.
But the point is this: why should
Wilson's friends be condemned for adj
vocating him and contributing to his
campaign. when the same papers ap-
prove Underwood doing what is so
fearfully wicked in Wilson.

Bringing the Government
Close to the People.

Well we don't remember seeing
where any Of the candidates for con-
gress from this district have favored
the initiative, referendum and recall.
Have you?-Vernon News.
The Journal is glad to see the above
in its Washington county contempt
rary because IL shows that the people
want those things which bring the
government closer to the people. The
initiative referendum and the recall
will do this.
The initiative, referendum and re-
call are only few of the many things
the people should ask for, not simply
because they are something that can
be secured, but because they belong TO
the people.
When The Journal reported the po-
litical meeting at Milton it said that
Emmett Wilson, candidate FOR con-
gress from the Third district. said he
would work for and had always IA
vored the initiative, referendum, and
recall, and his printed platform says
the same thing.
Emmett Wilson is an advocate OF all
OF those IhlnSS winch Will DrlnB the
government back TO the people; he
will be a bulwark Of strength in the
national congress 70 fight against the
encroachment by the special interests
upon the rights of the people.
The Third congressional district is
composed of people who are tired of
the domination of the special interests,
and 1t oehooves them to send to con-
gress a vigorous man who has the
courage to speak out when the peoples
| interests need defending.
Emmett Wilson is a product of this
section of the state. He has gradually
climbed the ladder of usefulness until
| he is properly fitted to represent his
district in the national law-making
| body.
| Examine his platform, and then ex-
anime the platforms Of the other can
| d1dates. He does not make an evasive
| statement and his planks cannot be
| misunderstood.
Emmett Wilson favors the initiative
referendum and the recall and al
treasures which will bring the govern
rent closer to the people.

the same complaint.
Our school is doing nicely. The at
tendance has been very good notwith-
standing there has been considerable
sickness and the rains have been so
many and bad. The parents manifest
the interest they feel by hitching up
their teams and carrying the children
when the weather is bad. The pupils
are anticipating great pleasure in the
literary entertainment which they are
to give on the 9th inst, it having
been postponed on account Of the
death of two prominent members of
