City Is Noe Dependent
On Bond Trustees.

The Journals good friend, City At
torney Jno. B. Jones, today charac-
terizes an editorial which appeared in
these columns yesterday, as ''fallacious
and elusive"
The Journals editorial was simply
an answer to the plea made by the
Jones Charter advocates when they
contend that the safety Of the city
bond money is dependent on the re-
tees.
The present Trustees are good men
The Journal would trust them i'm
plicitly in the handling of the city
money. We have no fight on them
whatever. but we cannot see, and Mr..
Jones has failed to point out, why
the public money should be so alb
solutely safe in the hands of three men
whom the people do not elect and over
whom they have no control, while 1t
in the hands of three men whom the
people do elect and over whom they
have direct control.
Mr.. Jones says In his communion
ton today that the bond election con-
stituted vote of confidence In Jno.
A. Merritt, F. r. Bingham, and Jos.
Y. Riera.''
The Journal dissents absolutely from
this statement. Messrs. Merritt, Bing-
ham, ami Riera were not issues and
- ~ 10 xrrffh be
tion. The bond election constituted a
definite expression by the people that
they wanted a city-owned belt railroad
ard a city-owne1 wharf.
Moreover. when the people voted for
these bonds, they had no guarantee
that the present Bond Trustees were
to be continued in Office. The council
is supposed to elect one Bond Trus-
tee every year. The term of one and
possibly all, OF the present board OF
Bond Trustees had expired when the
bond election was held. and the coun-
in their place.
Mr.. Jones's assumption that the peo-
pie voted bonds only because the
present Bond Trustees were to handle
the money is nothing more than an
assumption.
On the other hand. if it has come
to a stage where the safety of the
city funds is dependent on the official
existence Of three particular persons.
Pensacola must be in a decidedly bad
fix.

THE BOND TRUSTEES
AND THE CITY CHARTER

Editor Pensa cola Journal.
Your Saturday editorial under the
caption, Afraid to Trust the People"
Is fallacious and elusive. The Jones
charter both trusts and protects the
people. The most casual reading OF
it viii prove, as heretofore stated by
me, that its effect will be to give the
people absolute control of their own
government, and save them from the
yoke of the triumvirate, and all the
concomitant evils of sucn an imperial
istic government 1t not only does
not curtail or destroy any right OF
government which the people now
possess, but it vests them with addi-
tional rights which they have never
before possessed and to the fullest ex-
tent possible under the constitution.

I'VE have tried for years to get the

Mrs. Britton inherited the Cardi-

father, Frank De Haas Robson, who
was also the one-time proprietor Of
the Cleveland Spiders. On his death
the Cardinals passed into the hands
of his brother, Stanley Robson. The
latter's death In 1911 threw the team

Mrs. Britton knows baseball from
top to bottom. and she is not afraid
to express her opinions when the oc-
casion calls for 1t. True, she does not
express them so graphically as an un-
hampered male, but she puts 1t plain
enough for their tenor to reach sec
ond base. Musicians, kindly take
note.) She is only little more than
five feet tall, but when she rises to
make a remark 1t carries. And It is
always straight to the point. Mrs.
Britton says:
"As for the Cardinals, the happiest
day of my life will be when they bring
