Two CoodlLaws.

One of the most important bills
pertaining to agriculture passed by
the last legislature is the Lum bill
creating bureau of farm develop
ment. This bill is now a law. I'm
der its provisions any county can
establish a bureau of farm develop
nlent and employ an expert. II they
desire to work in connection with
the United States government, the
expert must be approved by the ag
ricultural department which will
then pay one-half of the expense.
Whatcom county should take this
matter UP at once as 1t il Il very
important one.
sed by the present legislature was
the agricultural commission bill. 1t
Is now law. BY the terms of
this bill an agricultural commission
of five members will have the SUI
pervision of the agricultural inter-
ests of the. state. The commission
will be composed of the governor
of the state, the president of the
State College, an agricultural ex-
pert to be chosen by the commits
sion. and two citizens. who shall
serve without pay. The expert Is
to receive salary of $4,000 a year
sum which is believed will attract
men Of national reputation. Thi
commission will take the place of
all the commissions which have here
tofOre dealt with agricultural mat
ters. The state horticultural of.
flee. the state veterinarian office,
the state food inspector. the state
dairy office, the state fair board
and several minor commissions, all
will pass out of existence, and be
controlled by the superintendent
appointed by this board. Its duties
will be probably the most important
OF any commission of the state.

Some time ago. The Tribune had
short item regarding the construc
ton of the proposed Hannegan road
from which 1t was inferred Dy somt
that this newspaper Is opposed &c
needed public improvements. rms
ia not the case. Our objection to
the opening of the road was based
upon the ground that it would In
crease the taxes, which at present
are Just about as high as the aver
age taxpayer can stand.
The Tribune has taken occasion
to interview some of the business
men of I.ynden, and their opinion
is that the Hannegan road would
not operate to the detriment OF the
interests of the local merchants as
they are ready to meet Bellingham
prices and Bellingham competition.
In our next issue We will have
some detail as to the question OF
the increase In taxes.

Albert E. Mead.

The sad tidings received last
Thursday, that ex-governor Mead
had passed beyond the realms Of
earth, caused pang of grief
throughout the State to those who
realized that true, sincere kind
friend had gone. Rarely has the
uncertainty of mans stay on the
physical plane received more vivid
exemplification than in the swift
ness of his call to rest.
Albert E. Mead was. kind and
generous, public spirited. full of
sentiment, modest and unassuming
He faced adversely manfully and
wore his victories with mOdesty. To
a large circle of friends and &C
auaintances in every portion of the
state he became the personification
of honor and manliness.
The state has lost in him most
lOvable character. He was man
of influence. His uprightness and
honesty won for him leadership and
secured general recognition. His
acts Of kind-heartedness were
boundless. AS governor he labor
ed faithfully for the advancement
of the commonwealth best inter-
ests. His appointments were ON
the whole of unusual merit. They
were not made with a view to per-
sonal acknowledgements OF sci
fish intent with view of personal
reward. In his official acts his
own personal interests were cast
to the winds, and it was therefore
that he was misunderstood by
many. To him, rs governor, ia
due the honor and credit of the
most beneficial and constructive
legislation SO far enacted during
one administration.
ex-governor Mead by many has
been called the father of construc
tive legislation in this state. 1t
was he who gave US a railroad com
mission which achieved national
reputation, and tax commission
which fearlessly equalized the bur
dens OF taxation. His appointee
to these two boards were of the
most capa BILE men Of the state. He
was responsible for the adoption of
the depository laws which have re
suited handsomely In interest for
the school children. 1t was he
who put into effect the merit sys-
tenn for heads of state institutions
and departments, consequently e.
Eliminating to a great extent partt-
zan politics. For this together
with his honest intentions in the
conduct of public affairs. he natur
ally incurred the i'll will of some.
but for every enemy he made, a
hundred friends were added to his
list.
1t was his aim to do only what
was just and right. and he never
feared to do his duty. He never
willingly injured the feelings of any
one. He had an absolute trust
in human nature. He waB just
honest and upright himself and
thought every other man the same.
This is where he erred--an error
however which will not be found
charged up to him in the great
ledger when accounts are settled Oh
the final judgment day.
With solemn ceremony his re-
mains were consigned to mother
earth at Bellingham, last Sunday
His name will stand conspicuous in
the history of this state in its
record of progress and prosperity
that Is yet to be written.
Respect to him and peace to

Wilson Returns to
Washington.

AS noted in The Journals news coli
unrs this morning. Representative
Emmett Wilson left last night for
Washington to get ready for the regu-
lar session of congress which convenes
Monday, December I.
In leaving, Mr.. Wilson announces
that he will be candidate for re-elec-
ton. and ne expresses the hope that
the Democrats of the Third district
have found his service and his record
such AZ to Justify a reelection at their
hands.
The Journal has no doubt that the
progressive democracy of this district
will crafty Mr.. Wilson's desire by CIV
ing him the reelection which he seeks.
FLORIDA has never had in the lower
house a more faithful representative of
her people than is the able young con-
gressman from the Third district
Elected as a Democrat of the Wood

met wilson has justified all of the ex-
pectaticns Of his friends He assisted
IN the passage Of the Democratic tar
iff bill and as a member of the bank
ing and currency committee he helped
already passed the house and which
President wilson's friends are endeav-
oring to get through the senate. Few
new members have ever attained the
prominence in q single term which
Representative Wilson now enjoys in
the house after a brief service of less
than nine months.
There is every reason why Mr.. VIII
scn should be re- elected and no reason
that occurs TO US now why he should
not be reelected He IL an exponent
OF aaose policies OF Democratic gov
eminent SO long championed by VIM

needed to help sustain the policies
which the progressive Democracy un-

into effect and the Democrats of the

The Y. M. C. A.
Campaign Work.

The week November "A to November
20 Is to be devoted to working for
membership in the Y NJ. c. A. There
are many young men who have come
TO Pensacola from places which did
not have an association and have drift
ed into other environments Three
young men who had been in town less
than a month came in last week and
wondered why they had not sought the
association sooner.
There are firms whose boys should
be In the night school, whose clerks
should be taking regular exercise.
whose heads would be able to do bet
ter work If they got into the business
mems classes.
The preparation for the 7. NJ. C. A.
campaign Is on in earnest. The big
banner in the building indicates that
the slogan will be "A Greater Y. NJ. C.
A. for Greater Pensacola" and Judging
by the enthusiastic way the men and
boys are taking hold the $50 members
will be coming In long before the end
OF the week.
Mr.. Evans's statement Thursday
night, that Mobile found 500 new mem
bers in single week, raising her mem
bershfp to 1900, making possible many
improvements in their building. has
stirred the loyal Pensacola boys to
believing that PensacoIa with a popu
lation half as great can do as well pro-
portionately. Mobile won a cup for
the championship of the south in mem
berShip based upon paid membership
and Mr.. Evans says that we are vel
come to the cup II we can take It.
The two-fold object sought is the
rendering Of service to all OF the young
men and boys of the community and
the increasing OF the efficiency OF the
Y. NJ. c. A. to the utmost
