New Methods Fail.

Two new methods for treating tuber-
culosis Were tried out during the year.
but neither proved a success, it is stated.
The preparation of tuberculin, discovered
by DR.. Wahlen of Paris. was tried in
connection with the treatment of twelve
patients after the preparation had been
tested by the public health and marine
hospital service. Its results were so un-
doned.
Five cases, the report sets forth. We're
treated with turpOZOne, a vapor formed
by combination of turpentine and ozone.
The results obtained were Indifferent four
of the cases remaining unchanged, while
one recorded a slight Improvement
During the year. DR.. Tewksbury states,
there were admitted over twenty cases
in the incipient stage. OF the number
four left the institution cured, three un-
improved with the disease arrested, eight
in improved condition, While one died
and six remained in the institution at the
beginning of the present fiscal year.
Those in Advanced Stages.
There were treated seventy-eight pa
tients in the moderately advanced stage
of the disease. OF this number, two ap-
parently were cured. it is stated. while
twenty-nine were improved and three
died, thirty-three remaining in the insti-
tuition July /, 1912. In the case of two
of these patients the disease was ar
rested, according to the report, while
nine patients remained unimproved
Three hundred and f1fty-one advanced
twenty of the number died. There were
seventeen cases that recorded improve
ment and sixty-four that remained un-
changed. The disease. in the cases of
three patients, was arrested. the report
states, while forty-seven remained at the
end Of the year.
There were 169 white and 149 colored
male patients treated while fifty-eight
white and eighty-five colored female pa
tients also were cared for.
Surplus in Appropriation.
OF the appropriation of s4s.22o.2O al
lowed the institution. the amount of
1922 333 remained at the close of the last
fiscal EAR and has reverted to the Treas
ury of the United States, the report sets
forth.
Among the improvements requested are
two OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES high-pressure
boilers to replace the present two low
pressure boilers, and a y-hOrsepower
high h-pressure boiler, to cost about $3.50;
disinfecting plant, to cost about $500:
an incineratOr for burning infected nap
kins, to cost about $50: vacuum
cleaner, to cost about $50: increases in
the wages of the four servants employed
at the institution, from $50 to $40 each
per annum. and a salary for dietician,
whose entire time shall be devoted to
making soft diets for patients. The sal
ary of this official, 1t is recommended,
shall be not less than 5000 a year.
DIR. Tewksbury also recommends an ap-
preparation Of not less than $500 for
repairs and improvements to buildings.
The amount allowed for this purpose last
year, which, it is declared, was insult
| ficient, was $3.50.

Sugar Cane is a
Profitable Florida Crop.

Florida is a new-old state, whose
story reaches far back in the history
books, but whose real possibilities are
just beginning to be discovered. In
agriculture many scattered spots have
been found to be particularly adapted
to the raising Of a particular product,
and have been put upon the map" by
that discovery. Large parts Of the
state have not yet found themselves.
Quite a number Of years ago extern
sive experiments were made in the
raising Of sugar cane, experiments
which failed at the time because of
poor business management During re-
cent years sugar cane has been grown
in almost all parts Of the state on a
small scale.
Capt. r. Z. Rose, state chemist, has
long contended that cane is one Of the
things which can be successfully raised
in any part of the state, and which
should become Florida's great crop.
He has recently published at his own
expense a pamphlet containing two
addresses delivered some years ago
by him, together with considerable
other data regarding sugar production

Kin smile with a smile that's free from

And tinker up some sort Of song.
The Regular Teller kin whistle a tune
When things seem to be breaking
bad,
He tries to be happy with what he has
Forgetting what he might have had.
The Regular Teller don't talk all the

Like rattiebrained fellers all do,
But when he says something, just make
up your mind
It's something worth nstenin' TO.
The Regular Teller don't tell what he's
done,
Or big things he's going to do soon.
He just goes and does EN- and keeps
HIS secrets he tells to the moon.
The Regular Teller has no time to

And dig into other folks ground.
For small village scandal he cares not
a whOop,
He passes no gossip around.
The Regular FeIler speaks well Of his

Or else he says nothing at all.
There's no room for rubbish or junk

No room for the thoughts that are

it's possibilities in Florida, and the
means of successfully carrying on the
industry.
This brochure is of particular in
terest in this section by reason Of the
fact that the figures show that, in spite
of the experimental work done on the
east coast, by far the greater amount
Of cane now raised is in the northern
counties Of the state.
Capt. Rose claims. and supports his
argument with a conclusive array of
facts, that Florida can raise cane as
cheaply, and extract the Juice and make
the sugar as cheaply, If not more
cheapIy. than can louisiana He ad-
vocates the erection of large central
mills in various parts Of the state, at
which the cane can be economically
handled, and the planting Of enough
acreage in Florida to take care of the
tremendous demand for sugar which is
now supplied by foreign countries.
The cane. according to Capt. Rose,
readily stands the coolest weather of
the average Florida winter. Any soil
in Florida which will raise corn will
make good sugar cane. The plant is
robust and easily cared for. A total
failure Of the crop in this state has
never been known.
F1orida's climate is superior to that
Of any other state for sugar growing.
The rainy. season comes at exactly the
proper time, the state being almost en-
tirely free of the wet winters which re-
tard the ripening so frequently in
Louisiana With good soil and Gull
ture, wonderfully fine cane can be
raised in any part Of Florida
From the showing made by Capt.
Rose, there seems no good reason why
Florida should not become as famous
for its sugar as for it's oranges and its
sunshine. Certainly there is market
for sugar.
The Manufacturers Record, In com
menting on the pamphlet by Capt
Rose, says that the United States an
nually sends abroad hundred mil
lion dollars for sugar, the only agri-
cultural product which we import
The consumption Of sugar is increas
ing nearly twice as fast as the produc-
ton, in spite Of the rapid growth OF
the beet sugar industry. The Record
says:
In view Of these facts, as to the ad-
vantages Of Florida for sugar growing
as to the enormous increase in sugar
consumption in this country and the
expenditure of over 500, 600, 900 & year
which we now pay for foreign sugar
1t is a matter Of national concern, as
well as of local interest, to Florida and
Louisiana and Texas that the govern
| ment should do all in it's power to en-
courage the development of the sugar
| industry, in order that the South may
| become the producer of our ever-in-
creasing sugar needs on a scale com
| mensurate with its natural advantages
for this industry.
| Escambia county can successfully
raise sugar cane. It should have thou
sands of acres planted instead of as
at present, 1877. The possibilities are
so great that they should receive the
most careful consideration Of ou1
| farmers.

Candidates Expenses
Limited by Law.

Several Of the more Progressive
western states have within the last
few years enacted legislation making
it a misdemeanor for a candidate to
spend during campaign more than a
small percentage of the amount Of the
salary Of the office he is seeking.
What is known as the corrupt prac-
tees act" in Oregon is a notable ex-
ample of this reform legislation. In
that far western state soon after the
adoption Of the direct primary law,
such expensive campaigns were waged
by the candidates for the various state
and county offices, that it began to be
impossible, or at least not probable,
for a poor man to be elected to an Of
fee Of any considerable Importance.
To remedy this, a very drastic cor
statute books. Under its provisions no
candidate is permitted to expend on
| his campaign more than five per cent
| Of the salary Of the Office he is seek
| ing. Treating or making presents is
! forbidden and a candidate is not even
allowed to buy cigar for voter dur
| ing campaign.
Sworn statements Of candidates ex-
penditures must be made, both before
and after election and so far, at least
it is generally understood that this law
has been rigidly enforced.
The expenses of the primaries are
raid by the state and each candidate
is allowed to have a platform Of prin-
! cjples, not to exceed 200 words printed
| on the ballot
It is thus made possible for a man tc
be a candidate for a state office, tc
place his platform of principles be-
fore every voter in his party and tc
stand a fair and even chance Of cleo

VOX POPULI.
NEW MARRIAGE LAW
NEEDED IN FLORIDA

Editor Pensacola Journal
The thinking people Of Florida are
not strangers to the deplorable condt-
ton that exist in our state in regard
to our marriage laws. It is generally
understood that we place no restric-
lions on, and make no demands of, the
parties who desire to be united in holy
wedlock. 1t rather seems that our
present laws offer every inducement
possible to our young people to get
married regardless of age, morals, or
quai1ncations. To make the cause Of
matrimony huorishing business the
judges of almost all the counties in
the state sign a number OF blank
marriage licenses, and distribute them
into every precinct. The appointed
ofnclals hold these in hand for cases
OF emergency, and they are frequently
used The thoughtless young lovers
plan an elopement and a clandestine
marriage Is performed in a few mo-
ments time. Children are the richest
and the sweetest gift of high heaven
10 the marriage relation. and now as
our laws exist the parents are power
less TO prevent their children marry
ing at any age. 1t is too often the
case that the children steal away from
nome and fond parents, and marry be d.
Tore they reach the years Of ma
turity.
The history Of all clandestine mar
rlages, when the girl is under eighteen
years OF age and the boy under TWEEN
ty-one' shows them to be a menace to
Cne formation Of a good home, and a
Ieeaer or the divorce courts Of our
state. The rule is that no young
woman under eighteen, and no young
man under twenty-one years of age,
can De considered prepared for the
duties and cares of married life. and
oy no means should the state allow
them 10 marry without a written con-
sent from the parent, or guardian,
presented and substantiated at the
marriage If the consent is granted TO
either boy or a girl to marry be-
lore ne or she reaches the years of
maturity, the state should allow a
margin, but no boy under eighteen and
no girl under sixteen should be allow
ca TO marry. Our divorce cases are
TOO numerous, and il is high time that
we as state put some restrictions on
the wedding day.

Golden Opportunity for
LaFollette and Others.

The Journal is not one Of those that
would minimize the splendid work
stretching through nearly two decades,
of Robert NJ La Toilette in Wisconsin
He began at a time when reforms in
governmental affairs were unpopular
and before the public conscience had
been awakened. Yet by waging tire
less, unrelenting and sleepless cam
paign, he succeeded in cleaning out the
Augean stables and other equally as
unsavory places in the Wolverine State
and has shown himself to be one Of
the great and commanding figures of
the nation.
with an insight keener than that
given to a majority Of the so-called in
surgents in the Republican party, La
Toilette saw the insincerity and the
selhshness Of the campaign, began and
waged by Theodore Roosevelt at the
eleventh hour, and so far has refused
to follow the Bull Moose into third
party.
Only one consistent course is left
open for Bob La Toilette, for Cum
minis, for Borah Of Idaho, for Johna-
than Burne for Poindexter Of Wash
ington and hosts Of others who tried
bravely and valiantly to reform the
Republican party from the inside
tried and failed.
These patriotic gentlemen, states
men if you will, have been Democrats
in everything but name for years and
now when party names do not mean
so much as formerly and when party
and partisan ties are less binding than
they used to be, the wise and patriotic
course is for these great leaders to
announce boldly that they will from
this time on cast their votes for the
Democratic candidates.
For the past three years, The Jour
nal has been calling attention to the
futility of the efforts of the insurgent
Republicans to accomplish much as
Republicans. A man cannot be a re-
former and a Republican at the same
time. The Republican party does not
believe and has never believed in the
rule Of the people, the sanctity of local
self government or the placing of the
man above the dollar. The Republican
party is welded to the predatory in
terests by the ties Of fifty years. 1t
has always protected the trusts. 1t has
always fostered monopolies.
Roosevelt has never made real war
on the interests" During his seven
years as president he never sent a
nalefactor of great wealth to Jail. He
invited Hartman, the railroad mag
nate, to blue pencil his message to
congress and the price OF this perfdy
was 100000. He permitted the steel
trust to take over the Tennessee Goa
and Iron Company in direct violation
Of the law. He made the courts dror
the prosecution Of Paul Morton, of the
Santa Fe railroad, when the prison
doors were yawning on that great re-
batter, and now in his present cam
paign Of righteousness, with the ter
commandments as his platform, he is
drawing his financial support from the
UBIQUITOUS harvester trust.
Can these sincere and honest Repub-
hcan insurgents who fought great
battle against the ruling powers, un-
aided and alone, while Roosevelt was
hobnobbing with Dear Mr.. Hartman,
follow this Bull Moose ignis fatrus any
farther?
They cannot consistently and mos
