Election Brings
No Disturbance.

One of the marked features of the
present presidential campaign is thar
it is attended with no disturbance in
business.
For the past three quarters Of a
century business has been SO dull on
presidential election years that it has
practically amounted to panic Of
more or less degree. At any rate
presidential elections have always
been accompanied by what is gen.
orally termed hard times
Nothing of the kind has been ex-
perienced in any part of the country
recovered from what is known as the
Roosevelt panic of four and five years
ago and with bumper crops and all
the Industrial enterprises in full swing
the country is in position of gen.
eral prosperity.
Railroads all over the country are
planning enormous expenditures in
extension and in terminal facilities.
Large orders for structural steel and
iron have been placed and mine own
ers are planning to do much develop
ment work.
This is all being done In the face
of TIE strong probability that the
country will have a Democratic pres
ident and congress and that the un-
just and Ubiquitous tariff will be low
cred and equalized.
For the past fifty years many peo-
pie have, against their own better
judgment and against their knowledge
OF Justice and equity, been driven to
vote the Republican ticket through
fear that with the incoming OF Dem
ocratic administration. the big inter
ests would decline to continue their
operations of development and erpal-
sion. The interests have always nour-
ished this fallacy. But it ID a fallacy
al Is shown by the present condition
of affairs.
AS a matter OF fact when presi
dent like woodrow Wilson is inaugu-
rated and when the tariff duties are
begun to be equalized and readjuste1
to meet the needs and requirements
of the people, commerce and manu-
facture, agriculture, mining and ship
ping and all the arts of peace will
flourish al they never have before.
The indications are that the coun
try will soon have new era of pros
perity.

the attributes Of gentleman. which
is being widely quoted just now. is
well worthy o, any mans careful con-
sideration.
TT Is almost the definition OF q
gentleman TO say he Is one who never
infiicts pain. He has his eyes on all
his company; he is tender toward the
distant, and merciful toward the alb
surd; he can recollect to whom he is
speaking; he guards against unrea-
sonable illusions or topics which may
irritate; he is seldom prominent in
conversation, and never wearisome.
He makes light Of favors while he
does them, and seems to be receiving
when he Is comforting. He never
speaks of himself except when com
PEELED, never defends himself by a
mere retort; he has no care for SLAM
der or gossip, is scrupulous in i'm
putting motives to those who interfere
with him, and interprets everything
for the best He is never mean or

reading carefully the articles which
it is now running on Sundays. by DR..

sane.
There Is no class of upfortunates
who deserve more of our consideration
than do those who live in mental
darkness and whose afflfction almost
always affects the body as well as
The brain.
DR.. Greene's articles contain many
facts concerning the insane waich are

vox PoPULI.
MRS. RUTHERFORD FAVORs
MUSIC IN THE SCHOOL

Editor Pensacola Journal:
AS the giving of opinions on the
school music question seems to be
popular. I would like to add a few
remarks to the discussion
The reason the study of music In
the schools here has failed is that il
has not been part of the regular
school work. In schools where IL is
taken up in the first grade with sim
Pile exercises and little mental work,
on to the intermediate grades, where
with a higher class of vocal work
and the beginning Of harmony also.
and into the high school grades,
where a very good preparation is
given for entrance examinations in
the theory examinations of, music
schools.
1t is also a great help to private
teachers of music who often find IL
difficult to get their pupils who are
busy at school to pursue regularly
the study of theory in connection with
their playing or voice culture.
In the future the study of vocal
music in the public schools would also
be a great help to choir leaders and
organists who at rehearsal have to
contend with such a vast amount of
ignorance of simple time values, and
signs in music, having to reach the
majority of their singers simply
through the ear. the eye and brain
being totally uncultivated in music
But / must say I see little prac-
teal value in a course by private sub
scription, even if partially paid by the
school board. 1t must be entered into
more seriously than that, and be sup
ported by the school funds as the 9TH
er branches are.
Mr.. Bingham intimates that a very
low order of intellect is needed for
the study Of music. In my mind it is
as study just as helpful to the
brain as geometry or algebra, and at
the same time an accomplishment:
that gives pleasure and comfort
through life. not only to the possessor
but to the public. AT funerals, wed
dings, political meetings, and wner-
ever the people are gathered togeth-
er for whatever purpose, there the
musician will be found using his Gull
tivated powers to amuse. comfort and
instruct. Respectfully,

Some time ago The Pensacola Jour-
nal made mention of the action Of the
agricultural department OF kentucky
In Inauguration OF a. state system of
orchards. Recently the state has ac-
quired a thousand acres which will be
set to apples. The department will
supervise the setting, the culture and
the spraying of these trees for a
number OF years. It might be well
for Florida to take some steps to
foster and encourage the extension
and development of fruit growing.

Mr.. BINGHAM MISTAKES
"DO-RE-ME" FOR MUSIC

Editor Pensacola Journal.
Just word or two in reply to Mr.
F. F. Bingham's do -re-me," which
he mistakes for music. We all know
some children can never be taught
music. Such are few and far be-
tween, but what harm could come to
these few that fail, for the work Is
elevating, pleasing and a rest from
hard study. Do-re-me has little to
do with music. It is only the course
over which the song flies. Many chill
dren who fail at do-re-me learn tc
sing in smiles and In happy lives just
as the flowers laugh their beauty and
the hills shout their joy.
Judging from your latest master
piece, Mr.. Bingham, we conclude that
your study of music was not only
very lame but your study of logic was
also much diseased. Your logic runs
something like this: The sky is yell
low. the earth is blue. therefore the
moon is made Of green cheese.
You are correct when you say mu-
sic can not be taught to all children
but this is no. reason why music
should be discarded in our public
schools, and if your logic is correct
then we should discard our complete
school system for some children can
never be taught arithmetic, nor geo.
graphy, while some never learn to
spell, and some of these poor spoilers
are college presidents, too.
Mr.. Bingham pokes fun at the ma
dam from Indiana. Yet this lady Is
the product Of a state system of edu
cation that stands second in the
union. Indiana has two per cent OF
her population that can neither read
nor write. Massachusetts heads the
states with one and one-half per cent
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1912-10-13

any mere man could i've up to all
these requirements But certainly
there would be a mighty change for
the better in this old world If every
man were to make an effort to live as
closely after them as he can.
The great griefs that darken the
lives Of millions come not from crimes
political expressions and inequality Of
riches, as we are apt to think, but
from the little daily rudenesses and
neglects and the carelessness thai
counts for coldness in those near &c
us.
Yes; and there is no means OF
measuring how much OF the worry
and discomfort of life Is directly due
to our own thoughtlessness for others
For kindly impulses and thoughtful
acts of helpfulness to othere cast
CLEANS of sunshine on our own path
ways, as nothing else can.
1t would be interesting to know how
many people there are who try tc
carry out in their lives from day tc
day the canons which they theoreti-
cally profess as to the conduct of q
gentleman. Many perhaps do in the
big affairs of life-veracity; integrity
in business. and discharge Of the
great obligations.
But many who try to observe these
obligations in the big things forgel
them in the little things that make
up most of life.

No, Mr.. Bingham is wrong. In my

Mr.. BINGHAM MAKES
REPLY TO Mr.. WALKER

Editor Pensacola Journal:
Please allow me to make myself "A
little clearer to Mr. Walker. Really,
believe that I have what Mr.. Walker
would term a musical soul" The
chorus, the choir and the brass band
thrill me, and, using the scene that
MT Walker suggests, the charm is
oven greater when, after the days
work, my children, in their fresh,
natural voices, sing the songs, that
everyone knows
But this is very different from the
objection I raised: The teaching of
vocal music embraces the teaching of
the value Of bars. staffs. whole notes,
half notes, and a lot of other stuff
Besides do, re, me, la, IA, Sc, do. Aside
from tone or note making Impossible
for many, vocal music is harder than
long-dfvision, fractions and decimals
added together. And when learned
Is of absolutely no earthly use to a
majority of the children.
Musical expression Is a gift, almost
divine. and is given to but few.
In vocal music, as a general or COM
pulsory study, as with other studies
the child Is marked on its proficiency
and many children, bright in other
ways. can do nothing with 1t. This Is
not hearsay, but from a most vivid
recollection Of personal experience.
II we could take the children, or
even majority of them, from the
primary grade right on through the
high school, there might be some ex-
cuse for throwing away a few hun
dred hours on vocal music, for the
benefit OF the very few, or on the
chance Of turning up a Patti. But
we cannot. Just see how they COM
| mence to drop out In the sixth and
seventh grades, and observe what q
pitiful few ever reach the high school
Can we afford, as real well wishers OF
the public. to fritter. away the small
opportunities of a majority Of our
future citizens. by pursuing so vain
and useless a study as vocal music:
Permit me to say, in capital letters
NO.

Governor Wilson
And the Bosses.

At every stage in the presidential
campaign where the opinion of Gov
ernor Wilson and the will Of the
bosses, big and little. have run con-
trawise, the bosses have been forced
TO succurnb and the presidential
nominee has been victorious.
In every instance wnere there has
been q clash. the governor has not
only stood firm for the principles of
good government, but he has also
played good politics.
When he took part in the sena-
torial campaign in New Jersey and
plainly and unequivocally told the peo-
pie that 1t would be backward step
to again send James Smith to the SEN
ate, q great howl went UP from the
reaotionary interests and some even
predicted that the governor had ruined
his chances In New Jersey.
The result OF the primary showed
the fallacy of these dire prophecies.
The great mass of the Democrats held
up the hands Of the governor and the
fostered interests were sternly rebuked
Very much to the chagrin OF the
Republicans and certain reactionary
Democrats. Governor Wilson let 1t be
known that he strongly objected to q
Murphy ruled convention in New
York. He refused to name a prefer
ence for any candidate, but he let II
be known that both candidate and
platform must be progressive and that
the convention must not be ruled by
the bosses.
At the last moment Boss Murphy
was forced to abrogate the unit rule
thus giving up the right to vote every
delegate from New York and Brook
Ign as he desired and thus giving up
his personal control of the conven-
ton. The result was. when the peo-
pie were given their freedom of action
that they nominated William Sulzer
for governor and adopted a clear cut
platform.
Besides the moral effect that the
right kind Of candidate and the right
kind Of platform will have on the
country. this will also prove to be
good politics
New York is an important state IN
4 presidential contest and Governor
wilson's chances for carrying the
state in November have been largely
Increased. Every Democrat in New
York can now vote the Democratic
ticket straight through. knowing IT T.
be entirely free from any faint OF boss
rule. ring control or coalition wits the
favored interests.
So far, whenever the bosses have
made q stand against the governor
they have met with defeat.

Attorney General Park NJ. Tram

the controversy regarding the proposed
initiative and referendum amendment,
and should his future actions as gov
ernor be along these lines, his popu-
larity will raise a regret in the minds

state cannot succeed himself. 1t is
pleasing to note that Attorney Gen
eral TrammeH will not hurry the

harry means to force a decision from

nell recognizes the forces behind the
suit, and also recognizes the senti-
ment Of the people, which though un-
spoken, is none the less emphatic. It
would be a joke and good one If the
supreme court should fail to consider

The Tampa Tribune, one of the best
edited newspapers in Florida, and one
with large clientage, says that Gov
ernor Gilchrist has acted wisely in at
tempting to secure a construction
from the supreme court as to whether
or not the proposed constitutional
amendment is constitutionally pre-
sented to the people for adoption, be-
fore involving the state in needless
litigation. The Lakeland Telegram,
another newspaper with a constantly
widening influence, says that Attorney

that the governor Is acting unwisely.
