STATISTICS
1911 BIRTHS
AND DEATHS
THERE WERE MORE WHITE
BIRTHS THAN DEATHS. WHILE
THE coLoRED DEATHS OUT
NUMBERED THE BIRTHS
OTHER STATISTICS.

Vital statistics for the year 1911
taken from the records OF the city
clerk shows that the number Of births
exceeded the deaths 50 for the year,
there being 603 births and 514 deaths.
AS matter OF fact there were not 5I4
deaths in Pensacola as the records in
dictate for there have been a number of
visitors here for their health to die
while here when they are really resi-
dents of other cities, while on the
other hand former residents of this
city who die at another place and are
brought here for burial so into the
record as Pensacola deaths. In all
probability If these two classes were
taken from the record which shows
514 deaths it would be something like
a hundred less than the record indi-
Gates.
White Record Better.
The record for the white population
is better than that of the colored
population, there being more white
births and fewer deaths than among
the colored people. The number of
births among the whites also exceeded
the deaths, while among the blacks
there were more deaths than births.
The statistics for the entire year are
given in full and shows that of the $50
white births 191 were males and 1s9
were females Of the 230 white deaths
1872 were males and IS were females.
OF the 243 negro births 122 were males
and 121 were females. and of the 314
deaths 15S were males and 156 were
females.

: ON HE KUN
NOT ONLY THAT: But in addition to
hoping, they set about picking it to
pieces before they had actually seen it
themselves.
1T is A FACT that, before we had
shipped one motorcycle we heard
stories told by competitors of how this
part was weak and that part wrong,
etc. The wish was father to the
thought-that was all.
OH WHAT A BUMP they got when
we began to send them over the
country. The effect was electrical.
PRICES BEGAN TO TUMBLE: First
they chopped off $25.00-rnade theirs
$3.50 and 1925 instead of S275. But it
didn't do Dealers wired then1--''Y on
must meet Flanders prices. No use
to damn the n1achine-it has Flanders
name on it and the public knows
OFF CAME ANOTHER S25--and
another. Here and there they put on
a magnetic and tried to hold the old
price. No go-Flanders has said, mo
motorcycle is complete without a
magnetic. !"
WELL THEY HAVEN'T YET
reached our price. Can't and stay in
business, because most of them are
not manufacturers-only assenblers.
They buy motors and other parts and
pay one or two extra profits on them.
IT COSTS THEM MORE to build the
same machine than we can sell it for.
Get that?
WE HAVE THE FACILITIES
$2,250,000 concern. We make every
part. We buy right and pay cash and
it costs us less to sell-because folks
know dollars worth when they see
it, and Flanders a" is the biggest
value ever offered. It sells itself.
EVERY DEALER Rows. Didn't
they all ''hot foot il" to Detroit to get
the agency? Of course we couldn't
give it to them ALIVE picked the best
and of course those who didn't get it
are sore. Naturally. And they are
getting sorer every day.
WHEN A DEALER KNOCKS the
Flanders "4"-as, of course, he must,
to sell other makes-just ask him why
he was unable to get the agency when
he asked for it. You won't miss one
in hundred.
MEANTIME what you want to know
is how soon can you get Flanders
4 That is the burning question
with thousands. And we are doing
our best to answer it definitely.
IT DEPENDS ENTIRELY on how
soon your order is in our dealers
hands. We can't promise to deliver
on the minute-for we have none in
stock. Demand is away ahead Of sup
ply all the time. But get your order
ir-pay deposit so the dealer will
know you mean business and you
won't have to wait more than month
perhaps not more than two weeks.
The dealer will tell you for he knows
when we have promised to ship him.
Or you may write direct to us and we
will gladly tell you.
THE FLANDERS GUARANTEE
goes with every machine. That means
that if the machine we ship you isn't
right we will make it right. The name
Flanders stands for quality-you
know that.

HAS THEM Al
WHAT AN UPSETTING of prices the
arrival of the Flanders 81" Motorcycle
has occasioned. Why, the other
makers seem to be in panic.
IT'S FUNNY, TOO, when you recall
the unkind things they said about the
Flanders a" when we first advertised
it and stated the price.
OF COURSE THEY SAID first-class
four horsepower motorcycle could not
be made for $175, even with battery
ignition. And magnetic included
utterly impossible.
WE WISH WE COULD print all the
things they said in their frantic efforts
to discredit the Flanders a. and JUS
tify their own prices-which at that
time were $3.50 and S275 for machines
of same power and less quality.
YOU WILL REMEMBER they all said
the only way it could be done was to
make the machine out of poor ma
terials and throw them together.
They not only admitted, they pro-
tested, they could not duplicate the
Flanders az at the price-or any
where near it.
THAT WAS BEFORE we had begun
to ship Flanders as" to our dealers
and customers. They felt safe in max
ing such statements-for though they
knew in their hearts that this concern
could not afford to turn out a second
grade article-they had no idea what
sensation it was going to create.
SO THEY LAID TRAPS for them
selves-and now we are driving them
right into them.
THEY MUST EAT their own words
they said they would have to use poor
material and poorer work in the MAX
ing to meet the price of Flanders "a.
WELL, THEY HAVE ALMOST met
the price-and they will have to meet
it and go lower before they can sell
their antiquated machines in compe-
tition with this up-to-the-minute mo-
torcycle.
NOW IT DOESN'T REALLY MAT
TER, but are we to assume that what
they said was true and that they are
now making punk machines to meet
they told fbs about it.
FRANKLY WE DON'T BELIEVE
they are making them any worse
some things are impossible. And we
do know that until Flanders If" ar
rived on the scene, prices of motor
cycles were high above all reason.
WE SAID IN OUR AID that Flanders
"4"-magneto Misunderstanding for
$175, left mighty small profit to us
on each machine.
BUT WE ARE SATISFIED with a
small profit on each machine so long
as we can build $4,000 per year. And
the price-$175, magnetic Included
has created demand sufficient to JUS
tify us in building that many.
HERE'S A POINT YOU HADN'T
NOTICED perhaps: Other makers
did not drop their prices until we had
actually begun to make deliveries. Do
you know why? There were two
reasons.
FIRST: OUR AID CREATED a ire
mendous demand which we were as
yet unable to supply. The other
makers saw that and determined to
supply some of it at high prices. And
they did. Then they began to think
it was going to continue.
SECOND: THEY HOPED that when
this machine did appear it would not
be up to all our claims-and would
give them new lease of life.

WHY ROOSEVELT FAILED.

10 an experience in California which will be a repetition, oh a larger scale, of the North Dakota episode of last Tuesday. In which case. it may be imagined that the colonel will be forced to conclude that his precon ceived opinions regarding the goood judgment of the people at large were hastily formed.
 There is no doubt that the republi. can voters of North Dakota are ex- tremely radical They had adopted, from time to time with enthusiasm, all the so-called progressive princi- ples They have long stood for every thing for which Mir. Roosevelt lately began protesting to stand and for which they could have no doubt that Mir. LaFolette stands.
 No man ever enjoyed a greater de gree of popularity in North Dakota than NIT. Roosevelt formerly enjoyed if he does not now enjoy it Mir. La Toilette. on the contrary, has never succeeded anywhere outside of his own state in arousing the populace to frenzy. He is not the kind of a man who could do such thing. He might succeed in Geluding people to follow him not for himself alone, but as the exponent of certain principles
 In this case, Mir. Roosevelt was the exponent of the same set of princi- Die sand more. There was plus his popularity. his spectacular display which in this campaign was expected to count for much. Yet, he was overwhelmingly defeated by NIT. La Toilette in a contest not confused by the entrance of any other contestant It was a clean-cut fight between him and the Wisconsin senator.
 What are we to gather from the re suit of the North Dakota primaries2 Only this, that the republican voters did not believe in the honesty of MT. Roosevelt, the popular hero, and did believe in the honesty of the una;' tractive Mir IaFollette.
 The only explanation of the result so far offered by the managers Of NIT. Roosevelt, is that the primaries were unfairly conducted, in that thoi' sands of democrats participated anu voted for Mr. LaFonette. While a. all such primaries, voters may "cross the suit" and often do so. the explan' ation of Mir. Roosevelts defeat i' in itself a reflection upon the presr dential preference primary, which Le so insistently demands. It is branded as a failure in the matter Of register ing the will of the party.
 But the circumstances in this case do not indicate that there was any such crossing of the suit" democrats the country over. would support NIT Roosevelt rather than Mir. LaFoilettc In the next place, the total vote Tel far short of the normal republican vote. SO that if many democrats par ticipated in the primaries, hosts O republicans must have remained a home.
 So, it was apparently a clean-cu fight between the two radical cand' dates and it is equally apparent tha Mir. Roosevelt was defeated becaus' the North Dakota progressives wer' unwilling to trust him.
 We believe that he will encounte similar distr1st wherever progressi' ism is the issue as it is in Californii and the other coast states as well a in the northwestern states.

elective whereas it should be a2- pointive.
 No man, of course. would arraigu a sacred document without an accom- panying reason, nor does the govern CT quite fail to do so.
 Tn my opinion this provision of the constitution is defective. First, because the maximum of time which can elapse between the date upon which the proposed mining code can become effective and that on which the elected official would assume of- ice, is insufficient to permit Of organ iyation. to say nothing of bringing about results; and second, because in my opinion this is one office that should not be elective. The duties of mine inspector are largely Of a technical nature and few men arc qualified to perform them"
 It is with the second reason that we are chiefly concerned. Though it is not stated in so many words, it must be the governors meaning that hero is an instance in which the judgment of the people is Lot to be trusted. They are competent to perform every other public act; 10 nominate ani eiect United States senators; to make and unmake jaws; to pass upon the proper qualifications and integrity of judges; in short, to do everything but take a hand in the selection os rain.ng inspector.
