Should Control
Next Congress.

II Governor Woodrow Wilson is
elected president. as is confidently ex-
pected. it is very important that the
Democrats should control both houses
of congress. Should the Republicans
have a majority either in the senate or
the house Of representatives, a great
deal Of the fruit of victory would be
lost. The Democratic committee fully
appreciates this situation and is maxi
ing strenuous efforts to capture the
senate and to retain control of the
house.
Many Democratic leaders believe the
situation as 1t stands today is that
Roosevelt will probably carry Wash
ington and Michigan and possibly Illi-
nois, making a total Of 81 electoral
votes. The Democrats believe that
president Taft has fair chance to
carry Idaho. Utah. Wyoming. Vermont,
Rhode Island and New Hampshire,
with a total of "a electoral votes But
the Democrats fear that over conf
dence may cause them to lose some
representatives they ought to have
and possibly a state legislature or
two that will elect a senator.
1t is said that it is difficult to get
many of the best campaign speakers
to leave their own states and districts
to make speeches in other states that
are regarded as sure for Wilson and
Marshall anyway.
1t is highly important that the next
congress should be controlled by Dem
oerats.

Editor Pensacola Journal.
The piteous appeal in your columns
of c. G. Keyser for information tend
ing to enlighten wondering citizen
~ as to the whyfore, wherefore and
looming against the western horizon
of the veldt at the intersection of
Palafox and Garden streets is excuse
for the following.
The conglomeration in question is
a structure apparently designed to be
a poem in masonry; a prose in tapes
try brick; a blank verse effusion in
concrete and lithic art. But to the
visual concept of the average tax
producer in this village of Ellen
vile it is an architectural bad dream
composed of virteous parallelograms
aligned one upon another in method
ical manner, held in contiguity by a
calcareous substance.

silent populace it appears the designer
of the incongruity started out to pro-
duce a fortalice, broke his pencil,

It's only evident use is affording an
esplanade wherein the gay and fes-
tive gastefopoda may indulge in fir
tatious yum yumery with the sedate
cicada. The Grecian benches offer a
firm foundation upon which defeated
candidates, discharged chauffeurs and
disgruntled installment collectors may
repose and discuss the calibre of the

Direct Nominations
And Direct Elections.

The trend of events is towards the
direct nomination of all candidates.
including candidates for president, and
the direct election OF the president by
a popular vote. The two great ma
tional parties may hold conventions
four years from now, but it is hardly
likely that the convention system will
longer survive. BY that time it is
reasonable to believe the constitution
viii be amended so as to provide for
the direct election Of president.
In a recent issue of the Outlook, DR..
Lyman Abbott says: When the Amer
lean government was founded there
was little real belief throughout the
world in the people themselves, and
there was very little sense of collec-
tive responsibility. The faith in the
people that was exercised in the found
Ing OF the government of the United
States was profound. but was limited"
That was exactly the situation. Men
who are usually denominated as lead
ers have been gradually but surely
finding out that the people can be
trusted to govern themselves, to think
for themselves, to act for themselves
and to nominate and elect officers.
The people have awakened to a fuller
confidence in their own ability.
The direct mandate at the present
time is that the political boss must
walk the plank. The voters will in
due time adopt direct primary laws
and the boss ridden and often corrupt
political convention as we'll as the
cumbersome and unfair electoral COL
ege system will be done away with.

The st. Louis Democrat is
very much perturbed over the recall
proposition. 1t says that had the re-
call been in vogue fifty years ago,
Lincoln would have been recalled and
dire calamities would have resulted.
How does the st. Louis newspaper
know that Lincoln would have been
recalled? What are the grounds for
such a belief? In 1864, Mr.. Lincoln
was reelected by tremendous ma
jority. That is the silliest and most
far-fetched argument against the re-
call that has gone on record.

In the midst of the excitement

Colonel William J. Bryan has made
the sanest comment that has been re-

sent a message of sympathy and con-

the fact that the election of a presi-
dent of the United States is not TO be

BOXING LAW REPEAL
BILLS IN THE MORGUE

ALBANY. N. Y, March 23.-The
boxing bills were knitted in the SEN
ate yesterday by an indirect method
resorted to at this stage of the game
for getting rid of legislation that is
not wantd. The Allen bill, sent over
by the Republican assemblymen for
the repeal of the Frawley bill, was
reported by the Senate codes commit
tee, of which Senator Stilwell is chair
Senator Wagner, majority lead
er, asked unanimous consent to send
it to third reading, but Senators Fraw-
ley and Stilwell objected. The bill,
therefore, went to general orders,
which is now termed the morgue.
The same treatment was accorded
Senator Stilwell's repeal bill, Both
measures were reported with an
amendment making the act take effect
September l, 1912. The reason for
amending the bill is to make doubly
sure that it is dead. Under the rules
an amended bill must lie owe for
three days. This means that it could
not be taken up until Wednesday.
