CHARITY HOSPITAL VERY
BADLY NEEDED IN PENSACOLA

Editor Pensacola Journal.
AS one of the sympathizers with the
charity hospital movement I am men
tioning to you a typical case, the like
OF which. have had to deal with
many times A victim Of the food
from Greenville, Miss, F. E. Bigler, an
honest appearing truck gardener, came
here last Sunday, attracted by Pensa-
cola literature he had read, looking for
work.
Appealing 10 me. was glad TO give
him shelter and board for a few days,
and had about aided him to get job
when the specialist to whom he went
for treatment because Of a serious ear
trouble developed by being so long In
the water, advises him this morning
he cannot work for a month, but must
be operated on at once, and sends him
to Mobile to a charity hospital there
because he has no means 70 care for
himself.
He has at home two children and q
mother in meantime listening to hear
the good news that he is at work and
ready for them 10 come, and ! am
charged with the sad duty of telling
them his real condition.
I think the public ought to know OF
these cases which come thick and fast.
At nv own home have had something
TO do with a half dozen similar to It.,
besides the resident sick and humble.
I hope therefore the hospital Will
take strong hold and pledge myself 10

TEXAS BOARD

ENDORSES IDEA
FOLLOWING RECEIPT OF LETTER
THAT BODY ADOPTS REsoLU-
TON 6EARINe'oN NAVAL BASE
ON GULF.

Secretary Henderson, of the Pensa-
cola Commercial Association, con-
tinues to receive letters from various
organizations all over the United
States expressing approval of the idea
of establishing a naval base on the
gulf coast. These expressions are re-
plies to circular letter sent out by
Mr.. Henderson some time ago.
One of the strongest endorsements
received so far is from the Interna-
tional Club. Of San Antonio. Texas.
As will be seen from the following
letter, this club, after considering the
letter sent out by Mr.. Henderson,
adopted a resolution endorsing his idea
and suggesting that the logical loca-
ton for such a naval base is at Aran-
sas Pass, Texas.
Dear Sir: Referring further 20
yours OF the 14th ult. concerning the
proposed establishment Of naval sta
ton at Guantanamo. and the desira-
bility of providing one or more power

Rules for Exeursionists.

Always run up and down the aisle
of the train and jump off at every
station and make faces at the natives.
This proves that yourare not only q
sociable animal but that you are pos
sessed of keen sense OF humor. The
other passengers who are going for
a quiet day like to be amused.
Open all the windows so that the
cinders and dirt can get into your
car. Without this, one of the prime
joys of the cheap excursions would be
removed.
Talk as loud as you can to keep
your fellow passengers from being
lonesome and if possible organize a
quartet and sing "Slide. Slide, Slide"
Love me and the World is Nine"
My Angeline" and Farewell, My
Own True Love, Farewell"
Scatter as many banana Feelings
and peanut shucks as possible around
the car and have good batch, OF
funny jokes handy. A wrestling match
in the aisle of the car il always ap-
preciated as a lively diversion to while
away the dull, monotonous hours.
On the way home be sure to take
off your shoes and go to sleep with
your feet inside the aisle and snore
as loudly as possible. II there Is a
crying kid in the car, and there al
ways is one, the harmony will be
perfectly enhancing

both the Democratic and Republican
tickets. and If she carries out her
promise to the people the parties de-
feated may well be thankful that she
won. Says Mrs. Wissler:
Il am not going to let the women
impose on the men. Many women are
clamoring for immediate and drastic
action against saloonkeepers. The men
have as many rights as women, and I
am not going to permit the women 10
run over them.
But am going to enforce the laws.
The city council, composed of men
alone, made the laws, and they will
have to take their own medicine l
have appointed a marshal who be-
Heves as do Should he fail there are
others who will not. If necessary I
will appoint as marshal the most rabid
reformer in town"
It is a fact that public opinion often
makes city councils make laws, but
they let it be understood that the po-
lice authorities are to forget about the
existence of such ordinances. On the
other hand the police departments are
subject to political influences and the
officers walk by one man who is break
! Ing the laws to arrest another who Is
violating one Of minor nature.
This time-worn expression which
the officers have given about not being
| able to enforce the laws is enough to
| disgust the women and make them
ashamed of the men. The laws can be
/ enforced If there are real officers to do
the work. Unless conditions change
materially in some Florida cities and
towns it will not be many years before
the good women win be taking hand
in the matter of politics and law en-
| fCrcement.

WEDNESDAY. JULY 10, 1912.
The Tariff Affords
One Clear Cut Issue.

After all has been said and done
the clear cut issue between the Demo-
Gratis and Republicans is that Of the
tariff.
The Bull Moose party differs from
the standpat Republican party only in
that 1t is still more of a protectionist
than the original sinner. Roosevelt
stands by the Republican faith in
high Chinese wall of protection. He
repudiates the attitude Of the gentle
Mckinley after solemnly declaring at
his grave-side that he would carry
forward his policies. He is now even
opposed to a reciprocal trade with
Canada, having changed his mind on
thatg question after making public his
design to run for third term. 1t IS
not often that a foreign newspaper
gets an entirely correct attitude on
American politics, but the following
excerpt from an editorial in the To-
ronto (Canada) Globe, seems to hit
the nail squarely on the head:
There is a sharp contrast between
the Republican and the Democratic
attitude toward the obstruction Of
trade. The Republicans had no bolt
or schism on the so-called principle
of protection, and the succeeding Pro-
gressives show no sign of progressing
toward commercial emancipation. The
old caricature of a principle that the
tariff should equal the difference be-
tween labor cost at home and abroad
was brought forward. It serves to
prevent the workmen from learning
that the obstructions lessen employ
ment and lower wages. AS every in
crease in the tariff increases the cost
of production, an attempt to apply this
seeming principle would send the tariff
mounting an endless spiral stair.
Every increase would afford an ex-
cuse for many more. Republicans,
both progressive and reactionary, think
they can sell without buying; that 1t
is profitable to do so, and that the
profit can be augmented by obstruct-
ing purchases.
No more subtle and insidious system
for exploiting the masses for the bene-
fit of the classes has ever been de-
We'd than the protective tariff. 1t is
time that it should go.

RECEIVES ONE OF THE
ENDLESS CHAIN LETTERS

Editor Pensacola Journal.
I have just received one OF those
senseless endless chain letters which
would have been thrown into the
waste basket but for the fact that I
know 1t to be violation Of the United
States postal laws for them TO be sent
by mail. They are an evidence of
superstition and they are only sent by
some who are in dread of misfortune
If they fail to send out their nine.
Please notify the public in general
that they are violating the law II they
do mail them. You will notice no
name is signed to the prayer.

He made his home at my house and

And stay upon my farm because it will

Did he ever notify me? Did he name

Yes, he did-NOT.
