s:oners? Elections, you know, are aw-
fully uncertain.
Why, and by whom, are the people
asked to reverse their decision of De-
cember 30th, when they voted for
bonds to the amount of $500, 100000 for
wharves, docks and terminals in con-
formity with the ordinance which pro-
vides that the bond trustees, subject
to the councils approval, shall have
charge Of the sale of the bonds, and
the making and execution of all con-
tracts involving the expenditure Of the
money derived from the bond sale?
Why should men, most active in
having the bond ordinance drafted
ard passed and approved by the peo-
pie at the election of December both,
now desire to nullify the ordinance in
every particular by which the public
interests are safeguarded, and with
out which the ordinance would not
have been adopted by the council, or
approved by the people?
VIII the benefits, supposed to be
derived from commission govern
ment, justify the people in giving to
three unknown men the power, as two
of the three may determine, to dis
pose of the s400.OO0oO of bonds. make
any and all contracts, AMI sell, ex-
water front, as they may desire?
1t will be said the people are given
protection by the referendum clause
in the committee charter, but it is
not so. This referendum does not ap-
ply to the matters mentioned, it re-
lates to ordinances granting fran
chises.
Is it at all certain that the three
commissioners will be as experienced,
or honest, and competent to handle
the matters, and as free from entang-
ling alliances, as the present board of
bond trustees are known to be?
In this matter the Jones charter
enforces the wishes of the people as
expressed in the election of December
3Oth, and safeguards the peoples in
terest, by making it impossible for the
bonds to be sold, or disposed of, or
the wharves and terminals, or the
property to be purchased. or used in
connection Herewith, to be manipu-
lated, in the interest of any corpora
ton, or clique.

Governor Wilson's
Iron Hand.

1t becomes more and more apparent
as the days pass by that Woodrow
Wilson viii be tho real as wen as the
nominal president of the United States
and that his influence on the legisla-
ture as we'll as the administrative de-
partments OF the government VIII be
anore than Theoretical
Almost from the hour that Governor
Wilson resigned the New Jersey leg
islature went on record by a large
vote against pushing the jury reform
bin from the first to the second read
tng. Governor Wilson had urged this
Gill in his message. 1t would take
away the power to draw juries from
the sheriffs and place &c in the hands
of a commission. In New Jersey, it
is believed this is an important re-
form. In many states 1t would not
be so significant.
Mr.. Wilson has announced he will
return to New Jersey, even after he
is president and take part in the next
primaries with this measure as an is
sue
This announcement is an indication

Afraid to Trust
the People.

The plea that the abolition of the
board of bond trustees under the
Commission charter will be dangerous
to the public interests can have no
basis except on the theory that the
people themselves are not sufficiently
intelligent or sufficiently patriotic to
manage their own affairs and protect
their own interests
Under the Jones charter, as under
the present charter. the people have
no voice in the selection of their bond
trustees. Neither have they any con-
troll of those officers.
Under the Commission charter, the
Commissioners will perform the same
functions now performed by the bond
trustees-but, the Commissioners will
be elected by the people and DO under
the control of the people.
The theory of the Jones charter ad-
vocates is that the people cannot be
trusted to elect men honest enough
or competent enough to handle their
public money.
The Journal dissents absolutely
from this proposition.

trouble with them when they have
swollen feet and legs, and what is
the cause of it, and If there is any

1t seems to be like a kind of rheu-

ST. Andrews Buoy
Ceases to Exist.

After more than % years Of exist
ence. the last issue Of the st. Andrews
Buoy appeared Feb. 81 and its veteran
publisher, VIM. A. Emmons, now over
so years old, retires from the field of
journalism.
The paper has been purchased by
Messrs. Brooks and Mcdonald, and it
will hereafter appear under the name
of the St. Andrews Journal. Mr..
Brooks is also publisher of the Vernon
News and will continue to publish that
paper at Vernon, while at the same
time publishing the Journa. at ST.
Andrews.
In the retirement of Mr.. Emmons,
the Florida press loses its oldest mem
Der and there is not one but who will
learn Of his retirement with regret.
He has been loyal supporter of
Washington county's best interests,
and it will be the wish of all that he
may now enjoy some Of those bless
ings of modern life. which his long
years of newspaper effort have helped
make possible for the people of his
town and section
The publishers who will now have
command OF the st. Andrews field
have the best wishes Of the state
press for their success.

SENATOR JOHN p. STOKES
DISCUSSES SEMMES CHARTER

Editor Pensa cola Journal
1t would seem that no one could
be fooled by the plea Of the advoca ties
of the Semmes charter that this char
ter is the peoples charter. submitted
by Mr.. Semmes's committee and adj
vocated by the evening and morning
papers for the purpose of securing a
city government more responsive to
the peoples will, eliminating useless
expense for the relief of the tax-pay-
ers, and putting the city government
more in the hands of the individual
citizen.
This has been the argument to sup
port every movement In history, as far
as I am aware, to take the govern
ment out OF the peoples hands, to
subjugate the masses, and to make it
more convenient for the few to die

Holmes County Will
Have Her Turn.

The Bombay Advertiser has the fol-
lowing:
The Pensacola Journal is to issue
a special Walton county edition at an
early date, in which the resources and
possibilities of that important and
growing county are to be- exploited.
This Is all good al far as it goes, and
we hope it will go far enough for The
Journal to reach good old Holmes
with a like edition at some time In
the near future. We have had Walton
county editions, Santa Rosa county
editions, Washington county editions,
and Jackson county editions, but
Holmes county, the best of them all,
has never had her advantages ex-
plotted in a special edition of any daily
paper. Would we support such an
edition? Try us and see.
The Journal is pleased to advise its
Holmes county friends that their
county will have attention in the near
future.
These county editions have proven
very popular and very valuable to
the counties whose resources they adj
vertised. The Journal has never writ
ten up town or county without re-
ceiving requests from other places for
similar write-ups.
Miss Burnham and Mr.. Chappelle
have just returned from Walton
county. where they secured a great
deal of material for the write-up of
that county, and the Walton county
edition will appear in the near future.
After that, the others will come in
turn.

One OF the most dangerous results
OF the adoption of the Committee
