Parcels Post and
Penny Postage.

While considering the wonderful de-
velopnent of the parcels post in so
short a time, the American Banker
wonders why this government did not
adopt the plan long ago for a revenue
cause even II for no other reason. That
periodical notes that during February
a total of 100000 PACKAGES were
handled. The February showing was
nearly 40 per cent over January and it
is certain that this increase from month
to month win continue until the parcel
post business reaches astonishing pro-
portions.
In the light of these figures the
Banker sees no reason why the parcel
post should not yield a very large reve-
nue.. There is no reason why it should
not open the way for one cent letter
postage. In creating one cent letter
postage there would OF course be a
transient deficit but this would be more
than met by the large surplus that will
soon arise from the parcel post.
At any rate it may be asserted with
all safety that the one cent letter post
age is coming and the parcel post is
vet only a faint indication OF what it
will be in short time.

SAYS LEGISLATOR SHOULD
REMEDY THE PENSION LAWS

Editor Pensacola Journal:
Please find room in your columns for
these few lines:
To whom it may concern:
In conversation with one of the Con-
federate Veterans a few days since he
told me that he was having trouble
in getting his pension. 1 asked him
why, and he said that it was because
he did not enlist in this state when
the war started, and upon this fiimsy
excuse he could not obtain his pension
Now trust that the next legislature
will look into this matter, and fix the
law SO that any and all of them can
get their just dues at all times and
places.
Ungrateful country. shalt thou ever
forget
The sons who for their civil ri yhts
have bIed,
Whose blood the fields OF battle have
wet,
Then who in their administration
would not give bread
To a. union or to confed.
Then let us bear in mind and not for
get,
That in this emblem of yours and
mine
Those stars that were set were ever
to shine
In memory Of this blood bought
liberty of yours and mine.

Laws Against
the Pistol Toter.

A candidate for the legislature in 8
southern state in his platform says he
will endeavor to enact more stringent
and drastic laws against the sale and
carrying Of pistols and other deadly
weapons. This is good omen. It is
a step in the right direction when can
didates for the legislature come out In
their platforms against carrying con-
cealed weapons.
There is growing sentiment against
the pistol carrying evil and larger
demand for more severe laws against
IT. However in most OF the states the
laws are fairly sufficient but the trouble
lies in their enforcement Juries that
are too Ienient in man killing cases.
csnnot be expected TO deal very severe
" with the pistol toter.
The practice of carrying concealed
weapons from day to day as the carrier
goes about his ordinary business af-
fairs il a relic Of barbarisn. It might
have been the proper thing to carry
weapons in pioneer days when red men
prowled the forests, but reasons no
longer exist for men to make walking
arsenais OF themselves.
In Florida the practice is growing
less. but there Is room for improve
ment.

WANTS LAWS or CITY
ENFORCED iMPARTiALLY

Editor Pensacola journal
No doubt most of the readers Of your
paper noticed the two letters in your
issue OF Friday morning regarding au-
tomohiles, one advocating Jail sentence
for reckless auto drivers, the other by
q driver who had been fined for run
ming into buggy. The latter case Is
only another reason for a city ordi-
nance that 1 have advocated through
your columns before and also went be-
fore the city council advocating IT.
The ordinance suggested was for all
vehicles using the city thoroughfares
after dark to have a light on them.
Had Mr.. Arbona's buggy had light
on it, it probably would not have been
struck by the automobile. and there are
ms-Ey other similar cases on record.
If a vehicle is disabled and left stand
ing in the street II always has a light
placed on it I suppose it is the law,
Then if a vehicle is standing in the
street with an animal attached to it,
why should il not have a light on it,
Probably your city council thinks the
animal viii give enough illumination,
but have never seen 1t. No. that Is
not the reason at all. but they. like
most other people. are not fair minded
enough TO care whether everybody has
a square deal or not. and, like many
others. they seem to believe that an
animal may not be driven by a GRIM
fnal, but anyone who drives an auto
mobile is O criminal already. regardless
OF all else
Mr.. Peterson advocates jail sem
tence or revocation OF license for reck-
less auto drivers, but why not be fair
enough to advocate the same steps
with all other drivers also. believe
in Furnishing reckless auto drivers as
much as anyone. but believe in giving
the devil his due. whether he drives an
animal or an auto. and doubt If there
is a man in Pensacola who does not
know that the laws of this city are not
enforced impartially. What is honest
Is honorable, and honesty is always the
best policy. Then why not have our

Card of Thanks.

Fired at Random wishes to ac-
knowledge the receipt of a fine pack
age of flower seeds from our senator
and an equally fine package of vege-
table seeds, common or garden variety,
from our congressman. We had the
squash and radish seeds for breakfast
this morning and viii have the carrot
and watermelon seeds tomorrow morn
ing. AS long as the congressman keeps
the seeds coming we will be able to
keep a few laps ahead of the city poor
authorities and the Battle Creek break
fast food factories. Garden seeds come
in very handy, especially during de-
pressing period of frenzied finance. If
the congressman really wishes us to
plant some of the seeds, will he please
send along a nice, fertile corner lot as
the one we have is so heavily mort
gagged that all we can hope to raise
upon it is the interest.

Permanent Homes
For Our Ambassadors.

Considerable interest is being mani
tested in the movement to have the
United States acquire permanent homes
for its ambassadors in foreign capitals.
The issue is made vital because of the
diiiculty experienced by the president
in getting men of moderate means to
accept these positions of honor and
trust. The fact that only very rich
men can serve on these posts has long
evoked the caustic criticism Of the
entire country on such condition of
affairs.
The campaign for homes for the am
hassadors has been revived and the
question of specific appropriations for
these buildings may be brought mp at
this session of congress. If the matter
is not settled at this session 1t GER
tainly will be at the regular term next
winter.
There is strong hope that very soon,
men of small means but Of large at
tainments, will be able to serve on
diplomatic positions of high rank.
Under present conditions. they are
forced to pay the larger part of their
salaries for house rent and are
swamped by social equirements.
The objection to the present arrange
rnent is that only men of large means
can afford to represent the country
abroad. while it is impossible to secure
the services OF men of moderate cir
cumstances. This is undemocatic and
It creates in our diplomatic field q
little aristocracy Of wealth There
certainly is large demand for reform.
