5AYsHoRE CAR SERVICE
PUTS PATIENCE TO TEST

Editor Pensacola Journal.
AS a rule / am not q kicker, being
content to bear the ills we have than
to those we know not off, but patience
sometimes ceases to be a virtue and
tie more you allow some people to inn
pose on you the more they will impose,
90 in the name of that part OF our pop
ii 81 who are SO unfortunate as to
be compelled to patroniZe the bayShore
line OF the Pensacola Electric Co.,
must protest against the indifference
with which they are treated.
It has become an almost universal
saying that when you board bay
shore line car in order to reach a given
point you may get there in time, IL all
things go well, but Il any little acci-
dent should happen that under a well
regulated system would Immediately
be remedied. you would have to wait
anywhere from two to two and h2lf
hours before you can get to place
Which ordinarily should take you hf-
teen or twenty minutes.
A case in point: Today the 5-45 D.
m. car from Barrancas broke down and
the passengers along the line were
waiting. Along comes the 5.45 D. m
car from Pensacola and stops at Pal
metto Beach. After a three-quarters
OF an HOur wait Inc SoH0uStoA "AS "
dered to proceed to the navy yard and
Barrancas. Then came another three
quarters of an hour wait for her to
come back. Now, Mr.. Editor, 1t seems
to me a woeful lack of business meth
cd in the whole proceeding. Why was
there a wait of quarters OF an
hour before the Pensacola car was or
dered on it's way?
Is is all in keeping with the policy
of the electric terminal company. They
have gotten from the people all they
want in the way of franchises. etc..
and now the people be d. This state
of affairs should be remedied. A little
regard for the rights of others should
illumine the craniums of the men who

RANKS OF STRIKERS
ARE STRENGTHENED
dred Thousands Are Now on Strike
in Belgium.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Brussels, April 21.-The general
strike for equal suffrage in Belgium
entered on it's second week with the
strikers ranks unbroken and, in fact,
strengthened by the adhesion of added
recruits, bringing their total up to
nearly 100000, according to socialist
computations.
A cheerful spirit prevails among the
working classes who feel that the gov
eminent will be obliged to yield at
least to the compromise suggested by
the liberal leaders. This provides that
the equalization of the parliamentary
franchise Immediately shall be taken
up for consideration.
Cabinet ministers are determined
not to surrender if the government still
commands a majority of the chamber
of deputies, when it reassembles to-
morrow.
The socialist national convention
meets on Wednesday to discuss the
situation. Accounts of violence con-
tinue to be rare and are in most cases,
attributed to other causes than the
strike.

CLAUDE L'ENGLE ON
FEDERAL APPOINTMENTS 4
. . . . q . . . . . . . . . I

Speaking generally of federal ap-
pointments in Florida, Mr.. L'Engle
gives his friends the following crumb
of comfort:
"At present it is the intention of the
chiefs of departments not to recon-
mend democratic successors to repub-
Hcan officeholders until their commits
sions expire. There has also no change
been made in the Taft order putting
fourtn-class postmasters in the civil
service. Until this condition is changed,
and 1t may be changed after the tariff
bill is passed-but until it is changed
all that a congressman can do is to
recommend those democrats whom he
thinks worthy as fast as the vacancies
occur by expiration of commissions, or
from other causes. This is what I
have done. Emmett Wilson, of the
Third district. and myself, have agreed

Court of Au1ity
A Useful Tribunal.

Cleveland. Ohio. is a city where
they like to try experiments and many
Of these experiments prove to be sue
cessfui. The latest and most inter
esting Of the new departures at Cleve-
land Is a Cancellation court, usually re-
ferred to as the court of anity. 1t is
. court Tor the settlement of disputes
without lawyers and without the liti-
giants going to law at all.
In this tribunal the judge talks the
matter over with the litigants and
gives them impartial advice and opin-
ions as to law. 1t is said that ma
jority of them come to terms and take
the cases from the docket. Reports
show that in two days fifty cases were
amicably settled.
There is no doubt that a greater part
of the small litigation could be settled
without having recourse to the courts
II some well informed authority was
at hand to arbitrate and give impair
tial advice.
Cleveland has talked a great deal OF
the golden rule and perhaps this is
only another instance Of II.

figure as forty million dollars, more
or less, which has been stated by some
opponents of the drainage a being the
amount required to complete the work.
The representative from Polk has not
fully prepared his plan, but he is now
investigating and--the idea in the
rough, which he is considering is to
first get all the information possible
concerning the scheme which was
used for the construction of the IA
nous Roosevelt dam. The interior de-
partment maintains a fund for the
furtherance Of irrigatiNl and drainage
operations and Mr.. Brown believes that
the fund may become available for the
Everglades drainage If the required
legislation is enacted.

SENATOR STokES'S
MENTAL ANGUISH BILL
. = = . . . = - 80 .

Senator Stokes is rushing his meas
ure known as the mental anguish bill.
He received favorable action by the
senate committee to which it was re-
ferred and it is understood that it will
go back to the senate with a recon-
nendation that it pass. The bill is re-
garded by many as one of the most
obnoxious measures that will come be-
fore the present legislature. 1t Is in
tended by the bill that where persons
telegraph for relatives to come to the
bedside of a dying relative and the
message is not promptly delivered, the
sender may collect damages for his or
her lacerated feelings. AS a matter of
fact, as is pointed out by the oppon-
ents of the bill. those whose feelings
might be worst worked upon by the
failure of the company to make such
delivery will reap no benefit from the
measure should 1t become a law, for
the reason that feelings OF this kind
are too dear to them to be aired in the
courts for a price. Whereas the vicious
negro and the lower class OF white
people. who have no sense Of refine
ment, will fall easy victims to lawyers
and other agents seeking to redress
wrongs of this kind for revenue only,
AMI the court dockets will at all times
be burdened with cases in which there
is absolutely no merit.
1t was declared here that the pur-
pose for rushing the bill through the
legislature without giving time for due
consideration of it's merits was that 1t
possessed no merits. The legislature
is barely organized, point out the op-
ponents Of the measure, and the time
of the members has been so fully oc-
cupied that they have had no time to
give any thought to measures other
than those in which they have a per-
sonal or an especial interest. Then
why not ask these gentlemen, allow
this question to stand Entil the MEM
bers can have an opportunity to in
vestigate 1t. Bills of general impor-
lance of this nature. they point out,
should be printed and furnished every
member of the two houses and made
a special order for some date in the
future that will give them time to
thoroughly digest it.-Key West Citi-
zen.
other people besides the opponents
of the bilf' above referred to seem to
have ideas on the subject. and some of
our best citizens are anxiously watch
| ing for the success of Senator Stokes's
measure. Surely any legislation which
and stimulate corporations Of this kind
to better discharge OF the duties ex-
pected from them in return for the
charter rights given them by the peo-
pie whom they are expected to serve
would be a good law, ard merits the
\ hearty approval Of all good citizens.
| Whether or not the bill becomes a law
will be a pretty fair Indication of the
sort Of material which we have repre-
senting us in the legislature In ITALIA

/ definitely how many OF the good men

Daniels's Fight
For Free Press.

As everybody knows, Hon. Josepl1us
Daniels. the secretary of the navy. is
newspaper publisher and editor. and
In 1904 he made great fight in North
Carolina, his own state. for the free
dom Of the press. The Saturday Eve
ming Post tells of it.
Mr. Daniels charged in his paper
that . federal judge, named Purnell,
who IL now dead. had acted wrongly
IA regard to the appointment OF a re-
ceiver for a railroad owned by the
state. Daniels said the governor of
the state was in league with the men
who were trying to wreck the road and
then get control Of It.
PurneIl had mr.. Daniels arrested for
contempt OF court and fined him 500
900. ordering to jail until the fine was
paid. The future secretary of the navy
rose up in court and told the judge
he would rot in jail before he ever
paid cent of that fine.
The federal judge thought better Of
At and sent Mr.. Daniels to be guarded
IN room in a hotel instead of the
jail. But while in custody the North
Carolina editor kept writing and print
ing red hot editorials scorching the
Judge. After four days of this, Judge
Pritchard of the United States court
released Josephus. He returned to the
office OF the News and Observer and
continued to rap Purne1l.
After that incident there has been
no more attempts on the part of petty
federal judges in North Carolina to
muzzle the opinions of the newspapers.
William Jennings Bryan is the most
reticent man on record. Marvellous isn't
It.?

SCHOONER'S CREW

Men Who Were Forced to Abandon the

New York, April 21.-Six sailors, who
were forced to abandon the British
schooner BarthoIdi, in West Indian
waters were brought here today by the
steamer Coamo from San Jaun Porto
Rico. The Bartholdi was bound from
Mobile to Macoris, Santo Domingo
with a load of lumber. On March 10
a storm carried away her masts, and
filled her with water. The crew dashed
themselves to the wreck. Four days

t1vabIe condition, irrespective of what
the state does. 1t strikes me that
there should be a thoroughly agreeable
working system, and it certainly should
not be any difficult matter for the
trustees of the Improvement fund
acting for the state with the credit
o. the state behind them TO finance
this proposition, and assure the drain
age success. The effect of this would
be that the confidence would be re-
stored and the states credit would be
protected by having the ability to save
the lands and hold them in reserve and
rot being compelled to sell them off in
small parcels at sacrif1c CO prices simply
in order to keep the drainage going"
Mr.. Brown is seeking the confer
ences of other members and it looks
as if there would be some more fea-
sible plan evolved from this getting to-
gether than has yet been suggested.
