sympathy-it win be successful at the
polls next November. The hope oe
Republicans IS that the Democratic
party can be thrust under the control
of Bourbon conservatism; for then X
could not possibly receive the support
Of independent ProG11ssiveE and OF
the disaffected Insurgent vote OF the
west. And their salvation lies in be-
ing able to transform their own party
BY the adoption OF Progressive prin-
cipies.
no Feactionary Democrat can be
elected next fall; nor one who Is
chsmptoned by the conservative wing
CT the party. no matter how good
Democrat he may be. because the peo-
PIE know and are justly suspicious OF
the interests active In his support No
compromise candidate can be elected,
for that would mean a compromise OF
principles; and with it's own position
compromised, the party cannot mako
an aggressive fight nor realize any
hope Of victory.
The Democratic party must stand
unequivocally for a Progressive ad-
ministrative policy, and nominate a
candidate who can command the un-
qualified and enthusiastic support OF
Progressives, or II Will face a certain
defeat.
1t is because Of this situation that
Woodrow Wilson Is by long odds the
most available candidate the Demo-
cratic party can nominate, regardless
of who the Republican leader may be.
Should Taft be renominated, as 10
probable, the Republican party will be
re- committed TO conservatism: and
the Democratic party logically should
be Progressive. Should its nominee
against Wilson happen to be Roose-
Welt, that party would then have
repudiated it's own record, and Repub-
licans enough among the friends or
the present administration would stay
away from the polls TO insure Demo-
cratic victory. For thousands among
the supporters OF President Taft, and
among those who oppose Roosevelt
bitterly or have no confidence in him,
or who disapprove OF Offering a third
term to any man, would not go to tho
polls TO vote.
1t is not too much to say that VIII
son is the most tremendous personal
force in American politics at this
time. It is not because Of any personal
magnetism, but because he has voiced
more clearly than any other living
man, in word and action. the Pro-
gressive tendency which Is moving
with such mighty current throughout
the nation. He has stood more def
niteiy and completely for his views OF
Democratic policy than amy other man,
and in them the Progressive move
ment has found full expression. More
than any other Democrat, he satisfies
the positive temper of the country to-
day. And herein lies hts availability.

What May Be
Accomplished.

Some people who are interested in
Pensacola and want the best of con-
ditions to maintain here seem to take
the opinion that The Journals state
ments that Pensacola can be made alb
solutely free from mosquitoes is an
absurd undertaking. scarcely worth
the attempt.
Unfortunately these people base
their opinion upon nothing but their
own imaginations; they do not realize
that mosquitoes only breed in stag
nant water, and that stagnant water
around Pensacola is absolutely un.
necessary. Pensacola can be made free
from mosquitoes and Pensacola people
ought to be ashamed of themselves il
mosquitoes are allowed to breed this
summer as was the case last year
In the canal zone when the govern
ment first began work mosquitoes We're
there and were so annoying that the
workmen could scarcely work and
nearly all OF them became sick with
bites. Houses had to be screened,
porches and all, that the workmen
might be free from the pests after
work hours We're over.
The government began a campaign
against the mosquito and with the
drainage was impracticable, the mos
quito has been exterminated.
What can be done in tropical Pana-
ma can be done in Pensacola where
there are no swamps.
No one can doubt this after giving il
sufficient thought.
But what IS needed is a thoroughly
efficient organization with deter
mination to accomplish what they set
out to do. With such an organization
to begin work today mosquitoes will
never breed here this summer
and only occasionally will any be
blown into the city from the inland
With the breeding places gone those
which are blown into Pensacola will be
here for only a short period.
If the people want Pensa cola to b(
free from mosquitoes it can be done
There are no swamps here and the
city has a small appropriation will
which to help defray the expenses, bu
the residents must do their part i
they wish 10 serve themselves anC
their neighbors. The breeding place.

around his house.
There is no movement which eoult
be backed by the entire people whici
will result in as much good as one Il
make Pensacola free from mosquitoes
this summer.

Useless Waste
of Public Money.

So glad have the people of the south
been at the opportunity of getting
money for public buildings that it is
somewhat startling to find southern
senator fighting against appropriations
for federal buildings in any FORM
Not that Senator Lea objects to the
government providing suitable build
ings in which to conduct it's business s.
but the young senator from Tennessee
declares himself against the waste oil
the peoples money in the guise of
public buildings merely for political
reasons.
And Senator Lea is right. :,
IF Is an open secret that men have
been elected to congress from some
districts by political deals and guaran-
teeing that appropriations would be
made for federal buildings in certain
districts. That the building appropria-
tions have been made according to po-
iltical pull and not with view OF put
ting them where the people needed
them most only requires survey or
the country.
In states and districts where the
two parties have been practically
evenly divided, public buildings are
numerous compared to those in dis
tricts where everything is unehange-
ably Democratic
Not because the Democratic sections
have failed to get their rights in the
way Of public buildings does Senator
Lea. register a kick, for his state has
been better cared for than some others
with a like population, but because he
wants honesty in federal appropria-
lions to prevails.
Senator Lea has undertaken Her
culean task in trying to eliminate this
obnoxious condition which has ever
prevailed in the United States. If he
is successful he will not only benefit i
great many people but he will save the
government thousands of dollars year
| ly.
Fortunately men OF the chara cter OIL
senator Lea are being forced into poll
tics these days. Political Agitation
which began some sixteen years agC
has made the people study nattona
politics as has never been done in tbs
history of the world. The people
want men for office these days.
Buying an office by the promise Of 9
federal building is equally as bad A:
| buying II with hard cash money, ever
| If II does not sound as dishonest. Sen
| ator Lea will find much opposition L
his undertaking but there viii be som,
there to join with him.

Another Harmon Paper
Going Over.

And now it Is the Tampa Tribune.
The Tribune has been one of Gov
ernor Harmon's most ardent advocates

national delegate.
But the Tribune Is webbing. 1t is
about to go over to Underwood just as
The Journal predicted all of the Har-
mon people in Florida would do.
Tho Tribune has said that Under
wood could not be nominated, and that
he would not have a look-in at the
national election even If he were nom
mated.
But the frame-up has hit Florida
and our sprightly Tampa contempt
rary Is about to knuckle under and be
swallowed up In It. Harnon's name
