Pensacola's First League
Ball Thursday.

Pensacola long since put on he1
pwaddaing clothes and assumed metro
politan proportions. It has remained
for this season, however. for her to
witness the inauguration of League
base bah.
Like the building Of the hotel, the
advent of the street paving. or the
coming of the new railroad, League
ball almost marks an epoch
It's value is not alone in the pleasure
1t Will give to the lovers Of this great
est and cleanest OF American sports;
dt has a commercial value as well.
It means new dollars brought TO the
city and It means the name of Pensa-
cola in scores OF newspapers. every
issue Of which will advertise the Deep
Water City 30 thousands of readers
in other states. It means also the
added prestige which goes with the
name Of a city that is able to support
an institution OF this kind.
It Is now up to Pensacola, and par
ticuiarIy to Pensacolass business men,
TO see that League ball is supported
and that 1t is made a financial sue
cess. That is absolutely necessary in
order to maintain It.
For these reasons. as well as others,
The Journal hopes that the first game
of the series, which will be played
in Pensacola Thursday, will be gem
orally patronized- The Public at large
should attend and the merchants
could, it seems to The Journal with
propriety and profit close their stores
from two to i've o'clock Thursday
afternoon. thereby indicating their CO.
operation as well as Increasing the at
tendance at the game.

Pensacola on the map. She is there
now by big majority. Let us make

Hard Hit BY
Parcels Post.

According to statements made by
counsel TO the Interstate Commerce
Commission. the express companies
erations OF the parcel post since the
airst OF the year.
In a degree. this is perhaps true.
But before too much sympathy is
poured out on the poor. downtrodden
express companies, It is well to remem-
Der two or three important facts in
the case. One Of these Is that If the
express monopoly Is deprived OF al.
express business on packages under
eleven pounds, As many think the law
Indicates. the bulk OF the business is
in heavier goods and the companies
win continue TO pile up enormous
profits.
Another important fact is this: The
express companies have little tangible
assets. They are capitalized at enor-
nous sums, but the physical valuation
OF their properties LIS small. They force
the railroads TO furnish the rolling
stock and most OF the capital stock
represents water. Were the companies
driven out OF business at a months
notice. little injustice would be done.
However. nobody proposes any such
radical step and nothing like that will
ever occur In due time the govern
ment will have a real postal express
and the express companies win be
forced by this competition. to give
value received for their services like
other people.
