Every Mardi Gras Territory Town &.
Should Have Float In Parade.

The plan to have the various towns of West Florida
and Southern Alabama represented in the Monday night
parade at the coming Mard Gras celebration fine idea
and ought to appeal strongly to the people of the
themselves.
There is hardly village within the whole territory
adjacent to Pensacola that cannot supply credabe float
either of the of one of its leading
industries
Such float would help make up a most attractive
parade and would advertise the that here
most effective way.
West Florida and Southern Alabama territory is now
developing rapidly The influx of people and money from
other sections turning the garden spot of the
south.
But rich this territory is, and developing it is,
the surface has, yet, hardly been scratched What is
needed is simply people and money The way
to get both is to advertise for them
At Mard Gras time in Pensacola some ten thousand
people here to enjoy the festivities Many of them
from far away Most of them interested in the
adjacent territory and of them frequently buy real
estate and later become citizens
BY putting attractive float into the Monday night
Mardi Gras parade it is possible for every within
radius of 200 miles of Pensacola make itself known
the thousands of visitors and possible investors and
tiers who will witness that parade.
In addition to that, series of prizes will be offered
and the may compete among themselves to which
can make the best showing.
The Journal believes the whole idea is good
and it why the Carnival Association
and the towns themselves should not push it along.

Another Argument
For the Recall.

It is rather unfortunate that the
United States senate has decided not
TO try the impeachment proceedings
against Federal Judge Archibald until
next December.
The charges against him are grave
and serious. If he should by chance
be innocent, the country is entitled to
know it. If he is guilty he should be
removed some time during this genera
ton.
It IS not enough for Judge Archibald
to say he will not occupy his place on
the bench until after the trial. He is
still a judge and If his services were
needed when he was appointed, the
services Of some one in his place are
needed now.
Those who so strongly oppose the
recall of Judges and call it sacrilege,
often argue that the present law Of
impeachment is sufficient.
But when grave cases like this are
postponed for months, the question
naturally arises: Us the law Of i'm
parchment a sufficient remedyT'
Delays like these form the strongest
argument for the recall of judges.

Taft to Blame
For His Unpopularity.

William Howard Taft went into the
White House the most liked president
this country has had since the civil
war. Today he is the most unpopular
chief executive since Andrew Johnson.
He himself is to blame for this. Had
he started out with the avowed pur-
pose to ruin himself and his admins
tration he could hardly have acted diff
ferently.
He seems to have a perfect talent
for tactless laundering.
In a speech before the New York
Bar Association he boosted: There
are those among US who do not be-

ular government. The fact is we know
they are not. Some Of US don't dare

Nebraska Democrats
Endorse Bryan's Baltimore
Course.
Course

BY a vote Of 68e IL to 246 1-2, or by
more than two to one. the Nebraska
Democratic convention on July 30 en-
6orsed Mr.. Bryan's course at the Balti-
more convention. Here is the resolu-
ton as adopted:
We, the Democrats Of Nebraska, in
state convention assembled, send
greetings to the Democrats of the ma
ton and congratulate them upon the
good results at the Baltimore conven-
ton in the nomination Of Woodrow
Wilson for president and Thomas r.
Marshall for vice president, and In the
adoption Of a thoroughly good pro-
gressive platform.
We hereby express our unqualified
approval Of the nominees and Of the
platform.
We point with pride to the leadership
Nebraska Democracy has taken during
the past eighteen years under the guild
ance Of William J. Bryan.
We congratulate the Democrats of
the nation that they had in Nebraska's
distinguished citizen a man who dared
defy the elements that had wrecked
the Republican party and that sought
at Baltimore the destruction Of the
Democratic party; that with superb
courage he challenged the right of
THESE elements 10 dominate the Demo
cratic convention and stood for what
he believed to be the interest Of "the
friks at hOme;" that through his lead
ership the convention at Baltimore was
transformed from what at one time
seemed to be a reactionary gathering
insJ real Democratic convention with
real Democratic candidates standing
upon a genuine Democratic platform
We cordially approve Mr.. Bryan's
Il
commend him for the course he adopt
ed and we congratulate him upon the
magnificent victory.
The resolution was debated at length
the Omaha brewery interests taking ar
active part in the opposition.
Mr.. Bryan's course at Baltimore has
been the subject OF more or less
criticism by his enemies. We take it
however, that the business Of a dele
gate is to represent what he believes
to be the sentiment Of the majority OF
his owl ~eople, and when those people
by vote Of more than two to one, en-
dorse his actions, it becomes time for
his critics to subside
This is not intended for the purpose
Of getting up a controversy with

once. Mr.. Rix Immediately started to
do so and expects to have it all off
within a month or two, but expects
some difficulty in fastening it onto
Mr.. Perkins's house when he has re-
moved 1t from that of Mr.. Pettibone.
A great many scientists and philoso-
pliers Of that neighborhood have
abandoned farm work altogether to
watch the operation and to offer ad-
vice.
Some Of the dry counties, according
to an esteemed contemporary, are
having considerable difficulty with the
question of the manufacture and sale
Of wines and cider. Sweet cider can
be legally made and sold, but the
trouble is that sweet cider becomes
hard cider at the least provocation,
and then it is Illegal. 1t is sometimes
difficult for the authorities to distin-
guish between sweet and hard cider.
but an old expert, Luke Binks, gives
the following as a sure method:
Take a quart jug and place It on
your right arm, with your elbow bent
and put the top of the jug agin' your
lower lip. Leave a little space as an
air vent and tip the jug till 1t goes
oogleoogle. Keep on elevatin' your ell
bow till the jug sounds holler. If you
git a stummick- ache, she's sweet; If
you get a headache, she's hard, and
If you get both, she's vinegar.

A Hint From Georgia
Regarding Road Building.

According to official reports last year
in the neighboring state of Georgia,
five thousand convicts worked on the
public roads.
This was the equivalent of over a
million and a half dollars in labor
alone. During the year. hard surfaces
were put on nearly 5000 miles of road
Prior to a few years ago Georgia
leased her convicts in the same way
Florida does now and the state had no
such record of building.
Florida is behind almost every state
in the nation in regard to roads.
Yet Florida needs hard roads as
much or more than any other state.
The road question in this state af-
fords q vast field for study for the
members OF the next legislature.
Five thousand miles of hard road
next year in Florida such as Georgia
built last year. would be of incalculabIe
benefit

Why?-Because He
Loves Her.

A young man not many years ago
began calling on girl; he kept her
out on the front porch late at night;
he made life a torment for her If she
looked at any other man; and finally
married her.
He is poor and her father is in fairly
good circumstances, SO that for the
first time in her life she began to taste
privation and self denial. She cooks
for him, cleans, sews, mends and
slaves for him and their two children.
Why has this man put this woman in
a position where she must experience
such hardships in addition to his ty-
ranny?
Because he loves her.
This Is a common Interpretation of
love, the sweetest word in the Ian
guage.
Because he loves her, many a man
has brought many a woman down to a
hell, which she has loyalty striven to
turn into a heaven.
Woman is so constituted that so long
as she believes herself loved and ap-
preciated she can forgive anything and
endure anything and still be happy.
A wife is the only laborer on earth
who works for her board and clothes
and is expected to be grateful for the
privilege.
But even she appreciates trip and
a day off now and then.
The husband who doesn't economize
on expressions of affection or stint his
wife on praise may do as he will with
out friction or argument.
So long as ne doesn't sink the lover
in the husband he need fear no rival.
He may forget every other rule, but
if he remembers this all will be we'll.
Even when the steak is leather and
the bread a cinder he must merely re-
mark that the meal isn't quite up to

Names familiar to the older gen

that the nation has thrown Off the re-

selIor, save that he examines quickly
the various phases Of the question
which he is considering, and that he
decides quickly without having to

man Of proper training and experience
is old enough to be a safe counsellor,
and the sum total Of his valuable
achievement is tremendously increased,
because he spends so much less time
in celebrating, he thinks so much
more quickly.
This is the day of the young man,

man has always been an idealist, a
dreamer of dreams. When he adds to
this the ability to see far and plan
wisely and accomplish splendidly he
becomes a tremendously valuable asset
to the nation, because he brings to
the service of the nation ambitions I'M

desires. He is a warrior who seeks
service for others.

that the old must be relegated to the
