keep investors from coming to our city
as &C place for investing in any public
utility undertaking.
The provisions in the section adopt
ed are drastic and there is a great
opportunity for gratifying local preju-
dice and a big temptation and oppor-
tunity for city officials to become cor
rupt. 1t offers a great inducement,
also, to public utility corporations to
participate in local politics for their
own protection. Anyone familiar with
the conditions that prevailed in the
politics of the southern states, thirty
years ago, will realize that this is not
a mere surmise. Whereas, If this power
were vested in a state commission,
there would be good facilities for
equitable settlements by members OF a
state board in settling questions and
disputes arising between public utility
corporations and local communities.
the same is is done by the railroad
commission. The local communities
and corporations would be more apt to
obtain a better settlement of disputes
by this means than where the power
is vested in a few men, who may be
inexperienced and whose time is taken
up with many and various duties
pertaining to the administration of the
city. This question of a state board is
not novel or new as it has been
adopted in other states and has been
found to be successful.
There is need for such a board and
the legislature at the coming session
would benefit the state by creating
one, to be either appointed by the gov
ernor or elected by the people.

The Times Union
Still at It.

The Jacksonville Times-Union, rail-
road-owned and bossed. still continues
its little dirty contemplate filings at
President Wilson.
Before the nomination, there was
nothing so small or mean or untruth-
full that the Times-Union could not
say it about Governor Wilson.
After the nomination was made,
there was still nothing too dirty for
the Jacksonville railroad organ to say
about the candidate OF the democratic
party.
And now that he is president---the
country's first democratic president in
20 years-the Times-Union is stIll at IT.
In discussing President Wilson's In
augura! address. the Jacksonville paper
gives 1t cold endorsement and then
even qualities that by suggesting that
"h President Wilson is as honest as his
inaugural address sounds he WILL" etc,
etc.
Why should it be necessary for
newspaper, or anyone else who makes
any pretensions to decency, to inpugn
the honesty OF the president of the
United States2 There seems to be
nothing too low for the Times-Union
to do.

Be Careful About
Making Election Pledges.

Pensacola has just voted to adopt a
new form Of city government. While
that form OF government has passed
the experimental stage in other cities,
dt viii still, with Pensacola, be an ex-
pertinent until its success has been
demonstrated.
The only thing necessary to success
is, in The Journals judgment, the CO.
operation of all good men in the cleo
tion OF three commissioners who can
be depended upon to make it a sue
cess. Those commissioners should be
selected with an eye to their special
fitness for the duties that each viii
have to discharge No element of per-
sonal feeling or political prejudice
should be allowed to influence that Sc
lection on the part of the individual
voter.
And now to the point: There will
probably be Is or 20 candidates for
commissioner in the first primary. Six
of these will no doubt run it off in
the second primary. The first primary
will not be held emit. the latter part
Of April. YOU HAVE LOTS OF TIME
TO MAKE UP YOUR MIND ABOUT
THE MEN YOU WANT TO SUPPORT
Don't be in a hurry about it. TAKE
your time.
Election pledges are the most dan
gerous things in the world. The best
way is to keep an open mind. take
plenty of time to make your decision,
and then make it and act upon it re-
alignment. This is YOUR government
to do with as you please and it's sue
cess or failure depends on YOU. Do
not forget that.

William Howard Taft
Private Citizen.

The popular judgment of President
Taft grew more and more favorable as
lis administration drew to close and
the opinion of him by the whole world
las been raised by his steadiness of
purpose and wisdom in dealing with
the situation in Mexico. Anyhow, the
heart of the people was warmed to
him by the calmness and good nature
with which he accepted defeat. There
was little bitterness and complaining
in his public utterances since the cleo
ton of President Wilson. This has
raised him in the popular estimation.
History will give him his dues. He
will come into his own as an honorable
gentlemaa. worthy of the respect of
his countrymen.
Mr.. Taft suffered from too much
Roosevelt. This is meant. not alone in
the disastrous defeat at the November
election, but all through his career.
There was too much Roosevelt in the
platform on which he was elected and
too much of it in Mr.. Tafts letter IF
acceptance and inaugural address. 1t
was good policy, no doubt, to say he
intended TO carry out the Roosevelt
policies, but on many issues Roosevelt
had no policies. And a president
should stand or fall on his own policies.
Roosevelt had absolutely no policy
or idea regarding either the tariff or
the currency. These were the biggest
he
were absolutely ignored by Mr.. Roose-
welt. This should have given Mr..
Taft a splendid opportunity to come
before the nation as constructive
statesman of the highest order. but he
failed to embrace the opportunity and
this failure meant his lasting defeat.
1t should be no measure of Mr.. Taft's
fame that he received the vote of only
two small states at the election. It is
rather the fault of Mr.. Taft's party.
He was and is a strict party man ana
he allied himself with the Bourbons of
the party who never forget anything
and never learn anything. He signed
the worst tariff law the country ever
had and made the fatal mistake of de-
Tending it in public speeches. He fol-
lowed this up by vetoing all the reform
legislation that democratic congress
enacted. His crushing defeat was the
rebuke of the people for these deeds.
1t was his misfortune that he was
the president of a party rather than
of the country and of party, too. that
had forfeited the confidence of the
nation.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1913-03-09

ident Taft that he would veto all bills
that were not founded on the work of
his tariff commission. This made the
tariff legislation of congress more or
less political. The vetoes of the presi-
dent that followed the legislation were
also partisan.
The task of reforming the tariff and
making laws in keeping with the prog
ress of the country and the spirit of
the times will be passed up to the
next congress and to a democratic
president. The position of the next
congress and of President Wilson are
reasonably sure and it may be pre-
dicted with practical certainty that
the tariff will be reformed, perhaps
not to the extent that a majority of
the people Of the country desire, but
sufficiently to greatly relieve the exist
ing burdens of taxation and to ma
terialiy reduce the cost of living
Congress practically legislated out
of existence the commerce court and
the tariff commission. 1t inaugurated
a great many Investigations, but their
work win probably be ignored now
that the elections are over. The con-
duct of the body with reference to the
embarrassing situation in Mexico has
been admirable.

liquor habit only specifically that this
stomach uneasiness can have little to
| do with it, and that the real source is
in desire for exhilaration of spirit, for
hayward sociabiIity and in general
cussedness.
But the man who knows what the
thing is-knows it so well that he has
tri~d to analyse it and master twill
tell you that the craving which he now
seeks to satisfy with liquor is precisely
the same as that which in his child
hood was pampered by ''piecing.'
No fact is more clearly recognized
and more seriously considered at all
the properly drink cures than this very
stomach craving.
THE cure will take the whisky out of
a man and to a large degree restore
his nervous system. but this constantly
recurring longing for something in the
stomach may be fought of by the man
himself.
Gold cure graduates meet it in diff
ferent ways, some by slipping water,
others by returning to first practices
and nibbling candy or crackers. and
some others, though few, bravely ignor-
ing the uneasiness. Not until this
longing is mastered is the cure COM
plete.
OF course, not all children who are
permitted to freely pamper their
stor lachs become drunkards-not liquor
drunkards, at least.
Other conditions may be lacking to
make them that.
But the finder is prepared, and IL 1t
never comes into contact with the
match, it is good luck more than any
thing else.

A remark was recently made that
improved lands-farms and places
adapted to agriculture-are higher
priced in Florida than in the middle
states where the population is from
five to ten times as dense as it is in
this state. While this is not exactly
true, it is near enough a fact TO show
that those who own Florida farms are
beginning to know their value. How
ever, nearly the whole of the state is
undeyeloped and splendid lands, easily
cleared, can be purchased in any coun-
ty in the state at merely a nominal
rate An empire waits the coming of
the axe and the pillow.

he would be the secretary of state
most of the caustic criticism he will
get in this connection has probably
been already spent. There seems to
be disposition on the part Of most
of the real republican newspapers to
treat Mr.. Wilson with fairness and the
o-called progressive republican news
papers seem to be pursuing the same
policy. The meanest little filings are
coming from journals that call them
selves democratic, but which are for
tunately deceiving few people.

Mother Might Vote.

The old party orator was holding
forth at a Mothers Day meeting and
sentiment was running strong.
Where" he demanded rhetoricaEy,
would be today without my mother?
Where would all Of US be except for
our mothers? Whose is the wisdom
like that of a mother? Where is the
guidance like a mothers guidance?
Her counsel is infallible, her wisdom
supernal-"
At this point tired looking woman
in the rear of the haH arose to her
feet.
May I ask question of the speak
er?' said she.
The flow of oratory was interrupted,
but the orator made the best of it.
Certainly, madam. What is it?''
If women are as sensible as you're
l--aking out, don't you think by this
time they ought to have almost sense
enough to vote?"
