KEYSER GIVES SOME OF
HIS VIEWS ON GOVERNMENT T

Editor Pensacola Journal.
In a recent issue of your paper
notice a letter from S. d. Bennett, Jr.,
asking for information regarding the
advantages and disadvantag ges of the
aldermanic and commission forms of
government now before our citizens.
It seems to me that anyone who has
lived in Pensacola as long as he has
ought by this time to know of the dis
advantages Of our aldermanic govern
ment with it's complicated, slow and
cumbersome way of doing business,
and that nearly any change could not
make 1t worse. Let/us take a couple
Of recent cases for examples. Some
months ago the subject Of a central
fire alarm station was before the city
council and one of the members Of this
body suggested building It in the park
way on Garden street near Baylen, if
remember correctly, but upon inves-
tigation 1t was decided this would not
be legr' but a few months later the
"wha 4ycallit" was built in the
parkwas' regardless Of the illegality or
anything else.
Had we had commission form of
government this would not have been.
Many of our citizens know the con-
dition Of Barrancas avenue at the P.
& P. railroad right of way. Some
months ago permission was given the
city to pave this, and the necessary
funds are on hand to do the work and
bids have been obtained but there are
so many different branches of our
present government it seems no one
knows who should do the work so it
is still undone, and every time a Wis

CHILD WELFARE DAY
FEBRUARY II, 1918


Gov. Trammell has officially pro-
be set aside as Child Welfare Day-a
day in which every citizen in Florida
is asked to think OF the children of
Florida and their w6fare-for they are
the most precious asset that Florida
has-and should be safeguarded and
protected in every way.
The Children's Home Society Of
Florida, with headquarters at Jack
sonville, is looking after the welfare of
more homeless, neglected, orphan and
abandoned children than all other chill
dren's homes together. It is the only
statewide undenominational charity
in Florida. It's work is supported en-
tirely by voluntary donations and IS
only limited by lack Of funds. Six
hundred and fifty-slx little children
were provided for by the society last
year. over 100 have been referred to
the society for aid already this year.
Funds are needed at once. Won't you
help celebrate Child Welfare Day IN
Florida by sending some money at
once for this great work, for the up
building OF the future citizens Of Flor
ida? Every dollar will help a whole
lot. Perhaps you could take little
boy or girl or baby into your own
home. Donations Of money should be
sent to r. V. Covington, treasurer,
Jacksonville, Room s, Board of Trade
building. Applications for children
should be sent to Marcus c. Fagg,
state superintendent, at the same ad-
dress. The work is conducted under
the direction Of thirty of the leading
business men Of Florida. All dona-
Ytions are used directly for the care OF
little homeless children. Please send
yours today.

vOX POPULI
SAYS ne FEARS RESCUE
HOME WILL REMAIN VACANT

Editor Pensacola Journal
Several weeks ago, following upon a
sermon preached by Rev. Eugene Pen
dleton upon the subjects of arrests Of
women of the underworld, you pub
lished a letter of mine in which urged
the women OF Pensacola to form an
association for the rescue Of their
fallen sisters.
Under the heading "Vox Populi'' in
Thursdays Journal appears a letter
from the Southern Rescue Mission
Home. highway branch. Jacksonville,
asking The Journal to help them to get
some Of thesunfortunate girls of Flor
ida. into that home.
The letter says I'VE now have the
home furnished throughout and could
easily accommodate thirty girls of the
underworld il they would only come to
us. At present we have only a very
few inmates and are very anxious that
our rooms not lie idle while there are
so many girls of the underworld who
should live better lives.'
1t further states that they will be
received and treated kindly and posi-
tions secured for them so that they
will be enabled to make an honest
living.
based upon the cowardice and contrari-
ness of human nature ("conscience
doth make towards of us allt) those
rooms will remain unoccupied If It is
left to the initiative Of the girls them
selves to get there. They feel their
shame too much to come forward
bravely and confess it; 1t is easier to
follow the line of least resistance and
stay where they are.
It requires real courage to confess
q fault, to make a clean breast Of IT.;
{ that is one of the weaknesses of hu-
man nature that must be reckoned
with; hence these girls continue to
stay down once they are down, and
they sit on those front porches on
West Zarragossa and other streets
south, where they are on exhibit day
after day, and smoke cigarettes with
out enjoyment, and drink without en-
joyment, and laugh without enjoyment
and they are not to be reached by
newspaper articles nor any kind OF
literature: no, the only way to reach
them is by calling upon them right
there where they are. That isn't nice
| Is it? Well. If the girls haven't cour-
age the callers must, mustn't they:
| Where there's will there's a way;
timidity, half heartedness and giving
| way to foolish nerves never accom-
plished anything.
I do not propose in this letter tc
say more of the ideas that occur tc
me concerning the means of reaching
| these girls, but urge once more that
| the leading women Of Pensacola gel
| together, If only to take advantage OF
| Jacksonville's noble offer. AS l said
| in my previous letter, the matter is
for obvious reasons, woman's matter
unsavory and difficult: yet I insist
that, If taken hold Of firmly and coura'
geously. the results will be great, and
will bring Joy and gladaess into the
| hearts of both the rescuers and the
rescued.

PNEUMONIA.


February is one Of the worst months
for the worst disease, pneumonia
This kills more people every year than
any other human disease, and 1t IL
caused by a small organism similar in
some respects to those causing other
diseases with which we are familiar.
The germs of pneumonia get into
the lungs through the mouth, but not
every man who has the germs in his
mouth will have pneumonia If he
did. practically all of us would have
the disease during the winter. 1t Is
only when the system is run down
that the germs do their dread work.
These are the things which make
pneumonia flourish:
/. Excessive drinking OF alcoholic
liquors.
2. Unusual exposure to extreme
weather.
8. Exposure Of old persons or per-
sons suffering from other diseases.
4. Living and sleeping in badly
ventilated rooms.
To try to avoid It:
/. Do not drink alcoholic liquors.
2. Dress warmly but not too thickly.
8. Do not needlessly expose your
self.
4. Have abundant fresh air in your
living and sleeping rooms.
5. Do not have your rooms too hot
and then go into the open air unpro"
tected by wraps.
6. If exposed to extreme or rough
weather, and wet or numb, undress in
warm room, rub off with q rough
towel until the skin glows. then go
to bed and stay there several hours.
Z. Avoid oyereating and keep the
bowels open.
g.. Keep your feet warm and your
head cool.
3. A moderate amount Of brisk ex-
ercise in the outdoor air daily.-Kan-
sas State Board of Health.

The Viaduct and the
S5. 900 Boulevard Money.

The resolution introduced by Alder
man Semmes which contemplates that
the $5.000.oo paid the city by the L. &
n. railroad. in part consideration Of a
franchise grant, shall be spent as was
Intended at the time the franchise was
granted and the money paid over Is
gerry much to the point.
The plan OF the bond trustees to
divert this money to other than It's
original purpose ought to be killed by
the council IN short order.
When the L. & N. depot and addi-
honal track franchise was granted by
The city. part Of the consideration
was the building Of viaduct at Sew
sntesnth avenue and the payment to
the city of s5.0o0oo in money. The
viaduct probably cost some 100000 or
100000.
The viaduct was intended to facili-
tate the traffic from East Hill to the
city and to make possible tie con-
struction Of the proposed waterfront
boulevard from the end OF Gregory
street along the bay and bayou shore.
The 100000 was intended-though not
specifically stated in the franchise
for the beginning OF the work on this
Boulevard, the first part of which must
be built from Gregory street along the
waterfront and under the viaduct.
II the city council. in requiring the
construction of the viaduct and the
payment of this 100000. did not In
tend to use the viaduct or to use the
money in making roadway under the
ciaduet. then why should the railroad
company have been compelled to 90 to
the additional and useless expense of
building the viaduct.
The only thing that the council can
do now is to keep faith both with the
railroad company and with the public,
an the only way that can be done is
TO build this roadway SO that the via
duct can be used.
The Journal believes that the council
will readily see the logic. as we'll as
the importance. Of this proposition and

Conspicuous Case of
Disinterested Solicitude.

The worry and anxiey Of most OF
the republican newspapers over what
they believe to be the impending rup-
sture OF the democratic party is SO deep
and unanimous that it seems a pity
that they are not sincere and disin-
terested.
Just now the republicans are very
much perturhed over what they say Is
a deep laid plot of the reactionaries to
embarrass the Wilson administration
and to block progressive legislation in
congress. These chronic croakers are
picturing with elaborate attention to
detail the animosity they say exists
between Speaker Clark and Chairman
Underwood on one side and Mr.. VIII
son and the majority OF congress on
the other.
OF course no such situation exists.
Mr.. Wilson. as student Of American
history. knows the Importance Of har-
nony between a president and his
party leaders and he doubtless heartily
endorses the stand taken by Mr.. I'M
derwood and other leaders on the tarifr,
which viii be the leading political issue
for some time to come.
Certainly there will be divisions of
opinion among democrats on public
questions, but these are not expected
to be serious and Of late the demo
csatic party has shown its ability to
take care of Itself. AZ any rate ii
would hardly 80 to the republicans or

The usual biennial movement to pro-

Bankhead offered an amendment to

If this amendment is adopted it will
mean the extension Of the life OF the

There are many members of the senate

. JOHN {. sTILLMAN. =

Like a thunder bolt from a clear sky
came the word Monday that John
Stillman had killed himself Big of
mind and heart and body filled with a
love for Pensacola and an abiding
faith in it's future he labored un-
ceasingly for its advancement. labored
beyond even his giant strength; and
his mind gave way under the strain.
No other reason can be assigned to
those who knew him. His genius was
constructive and others will rear on
the foundations he helped so well to
lay. He was my friend and my tears
mingle with those of others who knew
and loved him, for to know him was
to love him.-R. w. Storrs in De-
Funiak Breeze.
A dispatch from Pensacola Monday
afternoon announced the suicide OF
Jno. e. Stillman, president OF the PEN
sacola Investment Company, and one
OF that city's most prominent men.
Mr.. Stillman had suffered greatly from
grip for several months. His sickness
had deranged his mind and he shot
himself while in fit of mental depres-
sion. Mr.. StiIlman was for years one
OF Florida's leading republican poll
ticians, but he was of independent
spirit. and a few years ago refusing
to be controlled by the machine, he
left the republicans and last year did
good work in the democratic ranks.
He was a man of splendid character,
and the editor Of this paper regrets
his death as that OF a personal friend.
He leaves a wife and four children
and hundreds of friends. not only in
Pensacola, but in Volusia county,
which was his home twenty years ago.

That was shocking news in the Pen
sacoia dispatch in the Telegram yes
terday telling of the suicide Of John
e. StillEnan of that city. At this writ
ing no reason is known for the terri
BILE deed which deprived the state of
man OF strong parts and Pensacola of
one Of her leading citizens. Mr.. Still
man was a northern man who came
to Florida many years ago and had
been one of the republican leaders of
this state. He was democrat during
the recent campaign. He was a man
of ability. high social standing and
varied accomplishments and will be
greatly missed in his home city

AS long as the San Carlos hotel
stands in Pensacola a monument to
John Stillman's energy and enterprise
will exist. for 1t was owning to his
| indomitable public spirit that this
hotel was built. When the plan seemed
certain to fail, at banquet Of the
chamber Of commerce he made an ad-
dress on the religion of civic pride
which reused the waning spirit of the
business men and secured the sub
scriptions to the stock that made IL
a certainty. No man could ask for a
better.-DeFuniak Breeze,
