Public Nuisance
Should be Abated.

Just north Of the city, bat outside
Of the city limits, there is a fertilizer
industry that has long since become a
public nuisance.
The odor coming from the place
when the wind is from the north rem
ders life almost unbearable to resi-
dents Of the North and East HI1 sec
lions and it may sometimes even be
detected In the down town section of
the city.
Repeated complaints have come to
The Journal concerning the matter and
it is time either that the owner did
something to abate the nuisance or
that the authorities themselves pro-
hibited It.
The factory is a small institution
where fish heads and other matter are
converted into fertilizer. It is a valu-
able one to the community, in that a
heretofore waste product is being util-
lied for commercial purposes. The
Journal would dislike to see the in
dustry destroyed or made Improbable
But there should be, and no doubt
is, some way Of handling the industry
which will relieve it Of its present Of
fensive nature, and the owner should
proceed at once to adopt such means
as are necessary to remove the stated
objections.

WANTS MUSIC IN
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Editor Pensacola Journal.
I have noted with much interest a
few articles in your paper from the
pen of some well-known educators
bearing on the subject of teaching
music in the public schools. The let
ter Of Prof. Slaton, of Atlanta, was
an indisputable argument in favor Of
it. There are two points which the
writer would like to add to his testi-
mony.
It is admitted that some Of the
more for the drill and development
of the mind than for any practical
use. The study of music Is the best
kind of drill for the mind. It Guilt
Yates the memory and teaches the
child to distinguish between different
musical notes. Tt teaches them to
read music with as much ease as you,
my reader, scan this article.
Does this sound like nonsense and
mere play2 It is work and vet It is
in the guise Of play as the vast ma
iority OF children welcome the music
hour. This idea Of play brings up the
second point / wish to make
While drilling with the mind why
not develop something that is innate
something that was planted in us by
the Almighty for the purpose Of max
ing our own lives more beautiful and
giving JOY to others? Even the lower
animals have a love for music. some
of them being greatly affected by it.
Although nature gives US this desire
and enjoyment in musical sounds Il
must be developed to be of any prac-
teal use to US and the place to do
II IS in the public schools. Once
learned II is never forgotten.
1t IS not desirable to cultivate tie
voice in the public schools. but merely
to teach the children - read music.
It is a splendid study from 2 hygenic
standpoint as IL conprlis the child to
fill the lungs % their capacity with
fresh afr.
While we are progressing along SO
many lines DO not let Us fall behind
many sister cities Of much smaller
population, but put music in the pub
Tic schools and give 20 our children
a study that viii tend 70 relax their
minds and make the school hour a lit
tie less dreary and which will give
them a knowledge that viii be a source
Of enjoyment to them through life.
Now. Mr.. Editor, I hope this aues-
ton viii be taken up by the public. 1
would particularly like to hear from
parents who have children in the pub
lie schools. I would like to see Prof.
Slaton's letter summarized under its
different points and printed again and
If any one has any arguments against
il let Us hear them. Stir II up good
and hard. Let's hear about It. both
for and against. One thing more and
I am done.
It seems to be the impression among
some good men that If a man has
little music II his soul he belongs
in the Sissy class" This is a mis-
take and is simply due 70 the fact
that this mans soul has been starved
for the lack Of that same education
we are pleading for.
Very truly yours,

One By One
The Roses Fall.

To avoid being kicked out at the
conclusion of impeachment proceed
ings, United States Judge Hanford Of
far off Washington has sent in his
resi- enation.
The citizens Of Seattle last year
were engaged in a scent fare fight
against a street car corporation. Judge
HaIlford at that time issued an in
junction against the people and in ia
vor Of the street railway. Following
this, his impeachment was demanded
by an Immense mass meeting Of citi-
zens and he was hanged in ef1gy.
other charges were made against
him. He had been in office twenty
three years.
The moral to this unsavory story is
simply this: If federal judges were
elected by the people of the district
where they preside and for a reason
able term of office, it is highly prob
able that this particular jurist would
have been relegated to private life
and oblivion long ago.

Florida Needs
New Organic Law.

Florida needs a new organic law.
This statement is made not in a sense
Of carping criticism altogether, but
fact that conditions have materially
changed in Florida during the past
twenty five years.
The present state constitution was
made in 1885 and went into effect
January 1, 1887. Whatever may have
been its defects and Shortcomings at
the time, the growth and progress of
the state and the change in general
conditions have only served to accen-
tuate and intensity them.
Some Of the ablest men in the state,
many of whom are now living, sat in
that constitutional convention of 27
years ago and they accomplished a
good work. However the best friends
of the work, at the time, never claimed
1t was perfect. Some Of It was suited,
perhaps, to conditions prevailing at
the time, but is inadequate now Much
Of it was largely experimental. Time
has conclusively shown that a great
deal of this experimental law is sus-
ceptible of much Improvement. At that
time there were no cities. worthy Of
the name in Florida. Since then a
number Of cities have doubled and
trebled their population.
It is time to have a new constitution.
The state needs It. Progress requires
II. Conditions demand it.
A new constitutional convention can
only be called by act Of the legislature.
This is important and It is to be hoped
that the legislature to be elected at the
general election next November will
do this.
It is already known who willabe the
members OF this legislature and these
gentlemen should lose no time in con
sulting with their intelligent con-
stituents on this matter. These can
didates should give this matter their
personal attention. Let them look
into the defects OF the present consti-
tuition. They should hunt ont and dis
cuss it's faults as we'll as its merits
Among the things that should be
obvious to every member Of the legis-
lature are these;
The public school system OF the state
is Anticipated and inefficient. It is
fifty years behind the times and It
win be impossible for the state to have
a creditable and modern system OF
schools under the present organic law.
Nearly II not quite half of the time
and attention Of the legislature is
taken up in the discussion and passage
of local laws. pertaining mostly to
cities. This costs the state at large
a great deal OF money and the local
laws are often unsatisfactory to the
communities interested after they are
enacted. However. under the present
constitution there is no help for this.
Constitutional provision should be
made along certain lines and with
certain restrictions, for the local self
government Of cities. The time and
money Of the whole state. unfamiliar
with the local conditions, should not
be taken UP with every little desired
change in the charter of a city.
