Public Drinking Cup
Should Be Abolished.

At a time when the city is making
efforts to have Pensacola a city free
from disease. when the campaign
against the diseases caused by flies
and mosquitoes Is going merrily on,
1t Is with disappointment, we think,
that q majority of Pensacola citizens
read IN The Journal that the council,
unanimously at that. turned down the
ordinance which sought to do away
with the public drinking cup.
1t In too late to go into the merits
of the ordinance which sought to
abolish the public drinking cup be-
cause the council apparently is solid
ly opposed to the movement, but The
Journal, like many citizens, is sorry
that the council failed to put Pensa-
cola In the front ranks of the move
ment to prevent disease caused by the
public drinking cup.
One councilman thought 1t would be
getting ahead of the city and it might
Inconvenience hotels and boarding
houses. Another said. it would en-
courage the drinking of intoxicants
and would put water at the same
price as beer.
The Journal has always wanted
Pensacola to have improvements ahead
of other cities of like size and when
the city fathers failed TO provide for
the abolition of the public drinking
cup they simply went on record as ia
voring the. sticking to old methods
Now as to mountaineering the pub
lie and hotel keepers we must say a
word or some persons might believe
that the councilmen who made the ap-
peal for those classes knew what they
were talking about.
The first cost of abolishing the wa
ter coolers and providing drinking
fountains might entail the expenditure
OF few dollars, put after the first cost
there would be no more and the public
would always be provided with fresh
water from drinking fountains such
as are found in department stores In
other cities and in public places pro-
v.ded by the city governments.
In a city the size of Pensacola
there ought to be places in the down
town parts as we'll as in the parks
where persons could get refreshing
water to drink without costing anyone
a penny except the city.
Other cities are doing II. and 1t Is
not to Pensacola's credit that her Of
fcials took the backward step. AS we
said in the beginning 1t Is too late
now. but the matter may be taken up
again at a future time, and, If the
councilmen have not the information
in regard to the evils Of the public
drinking cup, it will be furnished to
them.

Paying Teachers
More Salary.

Florida and the various counties
have prescribed certain proficiency IN
teachers before they may teach in the
state. In view of such requirements
the counties ought to provide as re-
Enumeration for the services an amount
commensurate with the services per-
formed.
The salary of the Florida school
teacher is so very insignificant that it
is embarrassing to put it Dn public
print and we will not do so at this
time, but 1t is enough to make every
Floridian ashamed of his state when
he thinks of IT.
1t is not too early to begin a crusade
for better salaries for teachers. It is
not enough to say there are no funds
with which to pay them-the funds
must be forthcoming somewhere.
County officials get large salaries, In
many instances more than they de-
serve. and some kind of readjustment
must be made whereby the men and
women WHO teach in the public schools
will be given some consideration.
II is a common expression you get
Just what you pay for" F1oridians
may thank their stars they get more
from the school teachers than they
pay for or their children would grow
up in ignorance. 1t would serve us
right If the teachers in the state would
do as they have done in other states
strike for better salaries and refuse
to teach until they are assured of more
pay.
Florida schools are becoming better
every year, and the better pay for
teachers will come sooner or later, but
II is not right that the high calling
Of school teaching should be discour-
aged and prevent persons going into
1t on account of the lack of remun-

Chihauhauhauhau, Mexico, May 10.
Gen. Paprika, in command of the
federal forces, says if this war is to
continue with a sort of success, the
American sightseers must stay off
from the battlefields or at least they
must stop crowding the troops and
breaking up the formations. 1t is de-
cidedly embarrassing for a Mexican
soldier to draw a bead on a rebel and
hit some man from Purdy Junction,
Ia, who is taking a snapshot and, be
sides, il is liable to start international
complications.
Senior Colorado Maduro, who has
the sightseeing rubberneclNs automo-
bile privilege on all battlefields, re-
ports several accidents. He says sew
eral of his machines have run into
barbados and intrenchments and if
the soldiers do not stop tearing up the
ground for these purposes, he will
withhold his concession money and the
war will have to stop for lack Of
funds.
Gen. Perfecto of the rebel army was
shot nineteen times before breakfast.
The camera man who did the shoot
ing says the general stood the ordeal
we'll.
Mexico City, May 1O.-President Ma
dero is going to resign tomorrow. He
has said so himself.
Later-What President Madero &C
tually did say was that he was just
as liable to resign tomorrow as on any
other day in the future. Anyhow, in
asmuch as tomorrow never comes, II
doesn't make any difference what he
did say.
President Madero, who is in very
feeble health ate thre pounds Of beef
steak for breakfast and walked nine
teen miles for a short constitutional
before luncheon. 1t is rumored here
that the president is going to die. He
probably will. Most people do.

The Election Result
In Escanbia County.

Frank Mayes, editor of the Pensa-
cola Journal, seems to have won out
on every proposition that he espoused
In the recent campaign. Escambla
county went for Woodrow Wilson and
all down the line, The Journals can
didates were the ones the people pre-
ferred. 1t is pleasant to see the fine
influence of high-class newspaper,
whose service IL given to the people
rather than to the boosting of the af-
fairs and special interests OF Big Bust
ness.--Miami Metropolis.
The Journal appreciates this excep-
tionally fine compliment, but 1t begs
TO correct its contemporary in one
particular. 1t was neither The Jour
nal nor Mr.. Mayes who carried Es-
Gambia county for the candidates
mentioned-it was the people who did
Il and It is the people who deserve
the credit.
This Is day of popular rule. No
newspaper and no one or two or a few
men can any longer control or direct
the political action of any considerable
number Of people. The people read
and think and act for themselves these
days.
The Journal is always glad to sup
port worthy candidates and righteous
issues and when, as a humble worker
in the ranks, 1t can assist in the cleo
ton Of good men and the success II

ANDREE KILLED BY EsklMOs
Norwegian Explorer Brings Back
Story Indicating the Fate Of
the Poie-Seeker.

CHRISTIAN Laden. a Norwegian ex-
plorer, has returned to this country
with what he believes to be the first
evidence of the fate of Andree's bal-
loon. Laden was commissioned by
the Royal Museum Of Berlin, the Uni
versity of Berlin and the University
Of Christiania, to explore the unknown
region of northwestern Canada and to
obtain data about the Indian tribes in
the region, some of which have never
before been visited by white men.
AT a point 200 miles north by west
of the point at which it has been gen.
orally believed that Andree persisted,
Laden encountered a tribe Of Eskimos,
who related a story to the effect that
several years ago a large bubble fell
from the heavens, containing two Gre.
atures supposed to be devils" and
that these creatures were able to hurl
forth fire and thunder from strange
implements that they carried. The
members of the tribe attacked the two
creatures and succeeded in killing one,
of them with arrows, w%hereupon the
other made, motions to them signifying
that he and his companion were shoot
ing at birds for food and had come
In peace.
When the Eskimos realized that
they had attacked human beings, who
had no u~nfriendly motive, they fled
in dismay, leaving the surviving white
man alone. What became of him they
do not Notwithstanding American.

Wireless Works Better at Night.

That the long electric waves util-
lied in aerial telegraphy over great
distances travel better during the
hours of darkness than of sunlight,
and that the natural electric waves:
occasioned by atmospheric electric
discharges, known as "strays" or
ks" to wireless operators, are de-
spatched more satisfactorily during
the hours Of the night than in the
daytime Is now a matter of common,
knowledge.
Tests made in London during the
solar eclipse on April IT last indicate.
that the darkness of this eclipse had
the normal effect of facilitating the
propagation of these waves over great.
distances, but that there are portions
of time during the period Of deepest
darkness at the receiving station when.
propagation is notably impeded.
Whether or not this last phenomenon.
is to be taken as a mere accident has
not yet been clearly ascertained.-
