The Next President
and Business Interests.

Throughout the recent presidential
campaign The Pensacola Journal re-
reatedly said that the legitimate busi-
ness interests OF the country need have
no fear Of the election Of Gov. Wilson
or a democratic congress, as demo-
cratic policies were favorable rather
than antagonistic to real business.
Furthermore we said these interests
were prepared for democratic ascend
ancy and were enlarglng their scope
and increasing their outputs.
The speech of President-elect Wilson
to the business men at Chicago was
inst along this line. He said the
american people are not destructive
and had no particular desire to regu-
late big business, but they do want the
heads Of big business to regulate ii
themselves.
But as Gov. Wilson intimated, the
people are thoroughly determined there
shall be no monopolies ether in finance
OF production and IL it be necessary
foI monopolies to exist in tran5por-
tation. they must be well regulated.

Indianapolis, Jan. 20.-When Samuel
M. Ralston was nominated by the
democrats for governor of Indiana last
year it was predicted that his admin
istration would be reactionary. He Sc
cured his nomination through the ef-
forts of Thomas Taggart, democratic
national committeeman, and up to that
time no one had accused Taggart OF
being a progressive.
Ralston's actions and utterances
since taking the reins of government
in the Hosier state have therefore sur
prised a great many people. for they
have been distinctly progressive. He
has recommended to the legislature a
number of progressive measures and
has also strongly declared himself in
favor of constitutional convention to
draw up an entirely new code for the
state Strangely enough, his program
has been endorsed by Mr.. Taggart
who says that the people are demand
ing progressive legislation and that
unless they get it from the democratic
party they will turn elsewhere.
Among the progressive measures
favored by the new governor is state
regulation of the sale of stocks and
| bonds. Gov. Ralston insists that there
The Pensacola journal., 1913-01-22

should be rigid state law against the
sale or issuance of water securities.
Representatives Lyendecker and Bran
naman have introduced bills in line
with the governors recommendations
and the indications are that the dem
ocratic legislature will pass one OF
them within a month.
The Lyendecker and Brannaman
bills are along similar lines. Both
provide in effect for the prohibition of
the sale of stocks or bonds that are
not represented by property or paid in
capital stock. Both would do away
with the sale of stocks in promotion
schemes, by which promoters reap a
rich harvest. Both provide a heavy
fine when a company publishes false
statements regarding its condition.
Imprisonment is also provided for vio-
lators of the law.
Not only the governor but the leg
islature is in favor of a constitutional
convention. If one should be called
there can be little doubt but that In
diana would adopt many of the
amendments which have put Ohio,
Wisconsin and several of the western
states in the forefront of progressive
commonwealth.

Another Blow at
the Aldrich Plan.

The Democratic theory that the Al
drich currency plan was designed to
rezpetuAts Wan street control OF the
finances * the country has been unex-
pectedly corroboratsd by a reliable re
publican authority. Leslie N. Shaw,
formerly secretary OF the treasury.
says that most OF the big banks of the
country want the Aldrich plan, which
fsstens Wall street control on the
country for fifty years.
The democrats are trying to work
cut scheme by which the treasury
d, apartment win exercise central con-
troll over the issuance of an elastic cur
rency instead Of that control being ex-
ercised by = central association of
banks.
The democrats want to make the
currency sufficiently elastic to meet the
fiuctuation OF trade and at the same
time to render # impossible for any
set of men to bring about a panic or
ta cause any unusual steingency in the
money market.

PENSIONS AND POLITICS

Editor Pensacola Journal.
nave been reading some articles in
The Journal concerning the state pen
sions, and 1 wish to put forth some
views l have of the situation as the
time is drawing near for the legisla-
ture to convene. Some persons have
one fault and some another. Mr..
Humphrey came the nearest of any of
them, but he seemed to want to knock
the law wide open without safeguard
behind it. Now I am one of the u. c.
VS.. l have had a lot of experience
along that line. I have learned that
all veterans are not honest in their
dealings and the law has to have some
safeguard to keep out impostors.
l have known two cases where men
lived in Alabama and crossed the line
and put in their claim for a pension
because Florida paid little more than
Alabama. That was not straight work,
but do know of some good, loyal men
who moved in here in 1901 who are
barred by the. present law. Now if the
legislature will change the law a little
and instead of saying 1900 say a man
must be a. citizen say five, six or ten
years prior to his application. Then,
as a man became a bona fide citizen,
he would be eligible by making his
proof. I believe that would be just to
them and all that would be necessary
along that line.
Next, L want to say something about
Mr.. Bailey's farewell address in con-
gress. He speaks of representative de-
mocracy. Before the civil war we had
a representative democracy that was
pure. If we elected a man he repre-
sented his constituents at home and
not few bosses as the ruling party
does now. After the war the radical
party assumed the name Of republican
to try to choke the people with the
idea that it was the party to hold this
republic together. They took up the
representative form of government and
have represented the few and neg
lected the many so long the people are
tired OF that form of government and
the people have been studying some
plan to wrest the reins from such peo-
pie. 1t fell on Woodrow Wilson to lead
the way. Mr.. Bailey says he was not

John Hays Hammond
In New Stunt.

Mr.. John Hays Hammond, the we'll
known millionaire mining engineer, has
managed to keep himself pretty well in
the public eye Of late. His latest bid
9ays wants to establish peace in the
tribe that he may carry out big irri-
cation scheme along the Yaqui river.
so the story goes.
The Mexican government has tried
In vain for thirty years to put down
the Yaquis and it is hardly likely that
Mr. Hammond, singIy and alone, will
succeed where the whole power of a
wealthy government failed.
But Mr.. Hammond was in the cele-
brated Jameson raid in South Africa
years ago and cut q very spectacular
figure. Just now. he is back at home
from the court OF St James. where he
was special ambassador OF the United
States at the coronation Of King
George.
Should John Hays wear his velvet
knee breeches and the rest OF his court
costume into Mexico. he might frighten
fhs savage Yaquis into submission.

democrats will carry out will be nor
nal, sane and regular. However much
our reactionary friends may wall. there
Is to be no adventure into the field of
political pyrotechnics. Something must
be left for the Rooseveltian disciples to
harp about.
The mission of the Wilson admins
tration is to do away with the govern
ment by special privilege for the fos-
tered interests and bring the govern
ment closer to the people.
There is nothing new or spectacular
about this, although many new laws
may be enacted to accomplish this re-
suit.

Whiskars.

Whiskers,
(NeW Your Scientist gives sta
tistics to prove tat long flowing
whiskers have almost passed out
OF existence.)
l am the flowing whisker that dec
crates the chin.
They say that 1 am passe. They tell
me I'm all in.
They say my days are numbered that
l am of no use
Except to harbor microbes and some
tobacco Juice.
They say 1 am a relic Of ancient by
gone days.
That I've become an eye-sore, for sure,
in various ways.
But recall the era when I was quite
the rage
And every fellow wore me, regardless
of his age.
Then I was omnipresent. I dangled
in the soup;
trailed through restaurant butter and
no one cared a whoop.
You were quite sure TO see me, no
matter where you went,
And you would find me hanging on
every president.
Remember Roscoe ConkIing? He was
a friend Of mine.
And Grant and Hayes and Garfield?
On them I sure looked fine.
And old Count Leo Tolstoy and Un-
Gle Peter, too.
Were certainly some famous for whis-
kers that they grew.
Upon the classic profile of old Jay
Gould / hung.
/ also decorated the face of Brigham
Young.
To William Cullen Bryan I clung with
might and main,
You also will remember me hanging
on Jim Blaine.
Longfellow cultivated my friendship
many years.
Walt Whitman, he clung to me through
out this vale of tears.
And Old Joaquin Miller braved bliz-
yards Of the west
With me and never suffered a cold
In throat or chest.
I've made the czar of Russia look
SoneWnaL ike man.
Old Leopold OF Belgium, he was one
Of my clan.
Although these days I'm greeted with |
most sarcastic grins,
I've shielded lots of statesmen who
hadn't any chins.
They say I'm in the garbage; they
say am passe;
That have served my purpose and |
| have seen my day.
But still, in spite Of warnings, it's /
pretty safe to bet,
When Gabriel blows his trumpet, I'll /
be on some men yet

The state OF Colorado has done well

ators. Former Gov. Thomas and Con-
gressman Shafroth are, we believe.
both southerners. But be that as 1t
may, they are both real democrats and
that is what Is needed in the senate.
Colorado in times past has been occa-
sionally ably represented in the senate
and again the state has been singularly
unfortunate In the matter Of senators.

Tabor, the mining millionaire, was in
the senate from Colorado for thirty
days. at what rumor said was an enor-

1t seems almost impossible that any
enc should know about the parcel post
and not know that packages mailed
under its provisions require different
kind of stamp. This information has
been given in nearly all the newspa-
pers, and yet the postofhces all over
the country report having received
large quantities Of packages with ordi-
nary postage stamps affixed. OF course
these bundles have to be returned to
the sender when known, otherwise they
go to the dead letter Office. This may
cause the sender or the person ad-
dressed much Inconvenience and loss.
A little more attention will not only
protect the sender but will help the
postoffice people.
