Ions Of tue constitution seemed in
sufficient, when O. question might arise
upon some other section as to whether
the government had the power that
was invoked or not, the courts, con-
gress and the president turned to the
general welfare clause, and said that
gives us the power to do what the
general welfare Of the people require
And section one of this charter stands
as Il general welfare clause to cover
any lapse, and weakness, or INSULT
'ciency In any article that may follow
Section twenty two is substantially
the same as the constitutional amend
ment which formed part of the munich
pal program unanimously adopted at
the conference of the National Mu-
nicipal League held at Columbus, Ohio,
the main difference being that the
proposed amendment requires the in
itiative petition to be signed in cities
having a population of twenty five
thousand, by at least one thousand
of those voting at the last preceding
city election: whereas, section twenty
two Of the Jones charte- is far more
liberal, in that it requires the initiative
petition to be signed by at least thirty
per cent of the qualified voters of the
city. If the people desire to exercise
the right of direct legislation, surely it
would not be difficult for thirty per
cent of the number qualified to vote,
about seven hundred, to sign a petit
tion to that effect before two Of their
fellow citizens, who would doubtless
gladly circulate the petition for that
purpose.
This is all that the Jones charter
requires to effectuate government by
the people, if their representatives fail
them. And when the two sections just
mentioned are considered in conaec-
ticn with section thirty-or which is
similar 10 the constitutional provision
of one Of our progressive western
states, and which gives the people by
direct vote the right to amend the
charter in any particular, as they may
desire, 1t is manifest that the charter
will free them from state legislative
control, and give them the right of
local self government. which as you
happily expressed it, should not be
denied the free people of any COM
munity."
There's nothing like 1t in the Semmes
committee charter.
JNO. B. JONES.

VOX PoPULI.
JOHN q. JONES DISCUSSES
HIS PROPOSED CHARTER

Editor Pensacola Journal.
Your editorial of Wednesday under
the caption Dunno Advocates Home
Rule for Cities" suggests the pro-
priety of calling your readers attention
to the fact that one of the main pur-
poses of the Jones charter is to give
home rule to the people which said
editorial declares to be "a principle OF
free government that should not lie de-
aied TO the free people of any conf
munity," and this is accomplish9 by
the provisions OF section one, which
empowers the people Of Pensacola in
their corporate capacity, ito do any
act, exercise any power and render
any service which contributes to the
general welfare" and section twenty
two, which empowers the board OF
commissioners, with the approval Of
the voters, to establish a method of
direct legislation so that the voters
may decide by direct vote propositions
relative to city matters, and requiring
said board to submit method Of di-
rect legislation for the approval Of the
voters when petitioned so to do by
thirty per cent Of the qualified voters.
The two sections mentioned are far
superior to, and more important than
section twenty mine, which your Sun
day editorial praised so highly, and
should cause every believer in home
rule for our city to support the charter.
Section one was taken by me from
a charter which was prepared by a
commission composed o@ men of great
ability and wide experience in busi-
ness and government, whose chairman
was the great lawyer, Frederick w.
Lehman, until quite recently solicitor
general Of the United States, and who
| drafted said section. and, as to which,
he said: Now as to the first section
Of the proposed charter, wrote the
section myself, 1 wrote 1t deliberately,
had it in my mind from the begin
ming of Off deliberations to the end,
and / mad a purpose in view, and that
vas to give to the city under this new
charter every power that was possible
| to give It under the constitution and
statutes of the state, and as I read
| it to You I want you to consider
whether, as fairly as the English Ian
guage can do so, il does not give to
the city every power that q. city could
possibly possess. If there is any man
| that can confer power more fully than
| is conferred by that section, he is q
man that understands the English Ian
| guage better than / do. II that section
| fails to give the Sity every power
| which it could possibly exercIse. it is
| because I was born in Germany, and
| had to learn the English language
But lust as far as know how to use
| II, I did use it, and with all due re-
| spects to my grammatical critics.
1 venture to say that ANYBODY who has
passed beyond the kindergarten IN
| grammar and composition will say
that these are words OF wide mean
ing and unlimited scope. And my rea-
1 son for putting that in the very frs
section was because had remembered
ow much the ii st section of the con-
| stitution of the United States, which il
i known to lawyers as tine general vel
i fare clause" has meant through the one
hundred and twenty years of our his
i tory as a nation, when other provis.

FRIDAY. FEBRUARY Il. 1918.
Taft Regrets to
Leave Office.

The spell the White House casts
over an occupant Is one that few pres-
idents have resisted. After the cleo
ton, with the result so disastrous to
the republicans 1t was generally be-
Ieved that President Taft would prove
to be q good loser and most Of his
public statements were philosophical
and good natured.
But the lure Of ONCE was strong on
Mr.. Taft. Lately he intimated rather
broadly that he is willing and In fact
anxious to make another race and still
more recently he said. in a public
speech in Washington. that a second
term is necessary in carrying out work
started late in an administration.
Mr.. Taft believes he should have had
another term to carry out his ideas of
reform in currency.
The president seems to forget that
although the republicans have been in
power for a half century, they never
made the slightest effort to amend the
currency or the barking laws. 1t
seems this reform did not occur to
President Taft until after his crushing
defeat

MAKES SUGGESTIONS ABOUT
THE INTERSTATE FAIR-1e1

Editor Pensacola Journal.
From The Journal 1 see that the
directors of the fair have decided to
hold a fair next fall at Pensacola, and
to make 1t better and larger in every
way.
It is now also time for directors and
citizens of Pensac cola to propose some
ways and means to get the counties,
farmers, too, to exhibit at the fair, also
to get the farmers to come down to
see what other farmers are doing IN
our Western Florida.
We know the class of people as
should and ought to take interest in
the fair and go to Pensacola is the
farmers. But from last years expert
ence we know that a very small per
cent were farmers.
Any agricultural fair should be a
school where farmers ought to go to
learn and see what the other farmers
raise both in crops and live stock.
The only department at the 1912 fair
that was complete was the poultry de-
partment.
The directors ought to find some
way to induce the farmers to visit
this fair, get them to take some in
terest and come down to Pensa cola
fair week.
The other point Is how to get every
county IN West Florida to exhibit at
the fair.
Now let US discuss this, and let US
hear from every farmer in West Flor
| ida the best way to do this.
Ny idea is ITO go before the board
Of county commissioners in every
county. To have them to hire a man
/ in the county to get up the exhibit,
pay him some salary fo- three to four
/ months. also all his expenses" as II
has been before One man get up
| the exhibit at his own expense, which
| runs from $500 to $500, If this man
/ fails to take prizes he gets mad, be-
| cause he has lost several hundred dol
| lars, and his time-he will not
| try again, the counties ought to dc
this, and the fair directors should &c
TO work now on this proposition.
I should be glad to see every man
who fails to get prize one year, grit
his teeth, get up and try again. II

WE SHOULD THINK so.

Florida Health Notes.

Here are some of the things your
child should be able to do when he
is seven years old, according to stand
ards laid sdown by scientists at the hy-
gienic congress at Washington:
Count to 1S. touching an obpect rep
resenting each progressive number as
he counts.
Repeat the days Of the week.
Make change in simple sums.
Recognize the principal colors:
Tell time.
Pick out missing details in pictures
Draw in the missing details.
If he capt do all these thinga he is
retarded in the development for which
each act. according to psychologists
is an expression. In that case speciaI
care should be given to his diet, play
study and general bringing up, and he
should not be forced to compete with
normal children.-Pathf1nder

THAT cigar of yours said the pas
senger with the chin beard, smiling
genially. has burned about half its
length down one side"
'So?" frowned the man with the
curled mustache, turning his head
slowly and looking at him from head
TO foot; well, that Is the way I like
my cigars, sir"
So, when a spark from his cigar fell

and proceeded to burn a hole in it, the
Chicago Tribune relates, the man with
the chin beard reflected, Perhaps

we should do this, we should have the
best fair in the south.
1 was beaten last year on my hogs,
but will be in Pensacola's next fair
and try again, as 1 have just closed
a deal and bought a trio Of Berkshire
hogs from Messrs. G. w. Berry & Son
OF Topeka, Kas. This firm Is the
breeders Of the finest Berkshire hogs
in the United States today.
So I'm going to do my best to split
the honors with the Magnolia farms,
at the fair next fall. If fail, viii.
try again in 1914.
I should like for The Pensacola
Journal to start plan to hear from
farmers in West Florida about the best
ways and means to get a large ex-
hibit from every county, also how to
set the farmers to come to the fair
in 1913.

King Alfonso. Of Spain. wants to
visit the United States and so far as
the general public Is concerned, the
young ruler is welcome. The American
people have little reverence for kings,
as such, but there are many things
about the young Spaniard which our
people Ike. But Alfonso may have
trouble IN getting by the immigration
ofIfcials at the New York port. In
Europe he Is regarded as a dangerous
democrat and there might be protest
from the various monarchs against his
exposure to the kind Of democracy
practieed in America. But II he de-
lays his visit a month he viii have no
