THE JAIL.
Oakfeld, Fla, April p, 1912.

Dear Sir:
In soliciting your support for re
election to the office of Commissioners
from District No. 4. l do so conscious
Of the fact that 1 have faithfully full
filled all the duties of the office as
saw them in the interests Of Escambia
county.
It can scarcely be appreciated on the
outside, the arduOus and perplexing
problems which we had to contend
with when assuming Office a year ago.
Not only was the completion Of an ex-
pensive building of unnecessary mag
n-tude forced upon us, but a depleted

forts TO carry on the work. Provisions
had not been made to take care Of the
Jail Warrants as they became due. nor
any other contingencies that might
arise in connection Herewith, but
which We have contrived to overcome
bv the issuance of thirty-year bonds, a
method which VIII tighten the burden
OF the taxpayer very materially and

1 have endeavored to take care Of
the roads in a practical and business
Ike manner, completing the work at
each point before moving the camp
elsewhere. Moving the camp means
al expenditure of money and leaving
an incomplete Job an unsatisfactory
mode of procedure. I feel assured that
every intelligent taxpayer would rath-
er wait until such time as a com
plete and substantial job can be &C
compished rather than have a system

THE BALL GAME
WAS POSTPONED
CANDIDATES AND YOUNGSTERS
DID NOT PLAY AS ANNOUNCED.
AND MANAGERS OF THE "KIDs"
CLAIM CANDIDATES HAD COLD
FEET.

Although there had been a consid-
cradle amount OF interest manifested
in the affair. the game of baseball
which was announced to have taken
place between a picked team from the
ranks Of the candidates for county of
fees and a team selected from the
youngsters Of the city under the age OF
ten years, the game was not pulled of
yesterday afternoon and the probabil
ties are now that II has been indef1-
nitely postponed.
It is the claim Of the managers OF
the team of youngsters that the candi-
dates have been backed out and they
say they are going to fine them s10C
each to be donated to the Pearl Eagar
home and that the fine must be paid
as forfeit for taking cold feet right
at the last.
On the other hand the managers OF
the candidates claim that the kid
managers tried to run in some young
sters who were considerably over the
age agreed upon and they would not
play for that reason. At any rate, TN
game was not played and seems to
have been called off entirely.

Robert w. Archibald

Washington, April 25.-SensationaI
allegations relating to Federal Circuit
Judge Robert w. Archibald, a member
of the United States commerce court.
who halls from Pennsylvania, have
been filed with the president and de-
partment Of justice.
1t is alleged in brief that Judge
Archibald had a conference in New
York with George F. Brownell, vice
president and general counsel Of the
Erie Railroad Company. That follow
ing the conference one Williams, IN
associate in interest with Judge Arch
bald, entered into negotiations with a
subsidiary coal company of the Erie
for the purchase of a large amount Of
soft COAL cast aside as useless some
time ago. but subsequently found %
be valuable. The price fixed for the
coal is said to have been $500. It IS
alleged that following these negotia-
tons the purcha sers arranged to sell
the coal to an electric railroad com
pany of Pennsylvania, the price fixed
being $4,000.
The department of justice sent ?
special investigator to Scranton. Pa.
and his report, made several weeks
ago. is said to support the statement
which had been submitted in connec-
tion with the matter, and also to point
to other transactions as justifying Of
fetal action.
The gravity Of the charge becomes
evident when it is recalled that the
commerce court must pass upon al
questions affecting railroads, includins
the Erie. The investigator for the de-
partment of justice is said to have filed
with his report a photograph Of the
agreement for the purchase Of the Goa
which is on the stationary Of the com
meTce court.

WHERE THE "IF" BELONGS.

A prize diagnostican writes politics for the Bos-
ton Herald. He has located the trouble with the
Republican party in the parsonage of one Frank
Sieberlich, Taft enthusiast who insisted that his
name 60 on the Massachusetts primary ballot a
delegate aarge, after the Taft slate had been made
up without it,
This extra cart-wheeI was the undong of the
Taft fight in Massachusetts, it mudded the voters
and gave Roosevelt an even break "lf' it had not
been for Sieberch Massachusetts would have joined
New Hampshire and stemmed the Roosevelt tide
that swept in from Illinois and Pennsylvania. 'lf
this had happened, Taft would have carried Mary
land, and "if" Taft had carried Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, and Maryland, he would have carried
! Ohio. And IF" he had carried Ohio the jig would
have been up. Do you follow?
The diagnosis is correct, "if' the writer had not
inserted the if" at the end Of the sentence, instead
of where it should have been. Speaking of Illinois
and Pennsylvania ''if' President Taft had not put
Ballinger in his Cabinet and defended the scandals
which followed; ''if" he had not signed the Payne
Aldrich BILL or "f" he had not made that Winona
speech IF" he had not played 'possum in the Lori
case; if he had not turned against all his rea
friends and taken council of all his false ones 'f'
he had remained true to his campaign pledges and
conducted a progressive administration; "if"-bu

ACTION BETTER THAN DRAGGING.

Without going into the merits of the question,
and without defending the existing conditions in
Cuba, lesson may be drawn from the policy of the
negro revolutionary leader, General Estenoz In
communication to American officials General Este
disclams any hostility to the Government of the
United States or any animosiN toward foreigners
He explains his destruction of foreign-owned prop
erty by asserting 1t was for the purpose notify
ing the world | had undertaken and was conducting
a revolution in Cuba" and he sagey closes by say
ing 1T would be impossible to carry on revolution
merely by organizing band of men and quietly sit
ting under mango tree"
This typical Yankee policy of doing things is in
marked contrast to the datory tactics of the Cuban
government which has droned along putting off ac-
ton until tomorrow" and waiting for something to
turn up. Had President Gomez not been content to
let his forces sit under a mango tree and speculate
it is very probable the threatened Cuban revolution
would have commenced and ended by the ailing of a
few disturbers Of the peace.
General Estenoz has simply demonstrated the
truth of Bill Nyes philosophy that thrice armed is
he who has his quarre! just, but four times he who
gets his blow in fust." Even the fellow who has no
merit to his case is in position to drive bargain
if he has the other fellow down, or is inside the
breastworks.

Bill Finn, who helped defeat the TaftPenrose
machine in Pennsylvania, and who has reputation
of doing things started for Chicago last Friday after
a conference with, the colonel at Oyster Bay. I'm
mediately the Taft organization was in furry. BY
the time Finn reached Chicago these devotees OF
calm and judicial temperament had frenzied them
selves into that frame of mind where Finn had
assumed superhuman and Plutonic proportions, and
his mission was to turn Chicago upside down, start
riot from Lake Forest to the stockyards, and during
the excitement do bloody murder to the Republican
party

would vaiantly resist being devoured, and with

New was selected as the ST. George who must save
the day, and buckling on his trusty typewriting
chine he sailed forth and issued daring interview
about turning the convention hall into bear gardens

A QUESTION OF SANITY.

The Ohio Presidential primaries polled 80 per
cent of the number Of votes by Republicans at
the previous State election. Complete returns Of
the Pennsylvania Presidential primaries, April i3,
at which Roosevelt swept the State show that IS 900
more Republican votes were polled than were cast
for Governor Tener when he headed the Republican
ticket two years ago.
BY such direct and representative vote Or the
rank and file of the Republican party, in States that
always furnish Republican votes in the Electoral Col
lege, Roosevelt was ndorsed and delegates we're
instructed for him.
The Republican party no longer exists in Louisi-
ana. Owing to its failure to poll 10 per cent OF
total vote cast at the last general election in that
State, it is outawed and will not be given place
on the ballot, Taft claims the twenty delegates
from Louisiana, representing political corpse.
In the entire State Of Georgia, in the Fourth
Congressional district of Arkansas and the First Con-
gressonal district Of Florida, there was not one
Republican vote cast at the last general election Taft
has been given all the delegates from these localities
representing nothing Even the men seated as
Taft delegates did not vote the Republican ticket
two years ago
Yet the Republican national committee is irving
to nominate party leader by delegates" from these
localities where there is no Republican party has
been none and will be none
Senator Dixon charged the committee with polit-
ca murder Colonel Roosevelt accuses it of political
theft. Perhaps both have given it too much credit
Ought not the charge be that Of lunacy?
