fioHsON AND GERMAN
EMPEROR ON LIQUOR

Editor Pensacol Journal.
One of the favorite arguments OF the
liquor men Is that In England, France
aud Germany wine and beer flow like
water, and that those countries are
foremost among the enlightened ma
lions of the world. This is what Hon.
Richmond p. Hobson says in the Con-
gressfonal Record Of Feb. IL, 1911:
During the Boer war. 1t was found
that the average Englishman did not
measure up to the standard of recruit
ing, and the average soldier In the
field manifested a low plane OF vitality
and endurance Parliament, alarmed
by the dissst consequences, insti-
tuted an investigation. The commits
sion appointed brought in a finding
that alcoholic poisoning was the great
cause If the national degeneracy.
1.-THE Investigations of the commits
sion have been supplemented by in
vestigations by scientific societies and
individual scientists, al arriving at
the same conclusion.
AS a consequence, the British gov
eminent has placarded the streets of
a hundred cities with bflTboards, set
ting forth the destructive and degen-
Grating nature of alcohol, and appeal
ing to the people in the name Of the
nation to desist from drinking alco
hol1c beverages.
. THE governments Of continental
Europe followed the lead Of the British
government. The French government
has pla carded France with appeals to
the people attrfbuting the decline of
the birth rate and increase in the
death rate to the widespread use OF
alcoholic beverages. The experience
OF the German government has been
the same.
.'The German emperor has clearly

to eliminate the drinking of beer, so
far as possible. from the German army.
In a speech delivered to the naval ca
diets at Murwix, Emperor William said:
This is a matter of very great import
ance to our navy and to our people.

PHYSICIANS Of
STATE BUSY On
ANOTHER BILL
WANT AN EXAMINING BOARD ES-
TABLISHED AND PROVIDING
THAT THEY HAVE MAJORITY OF
THE MEMBERS.

Tallahassee, April 1S.-Following
failure at a previous session Of the
legislature, the regular, or allopathic,
physicians of the state are again at
tempting to pass a bill establishing a
state medical examining board, in
which they will be represented by four
members, while the homeopaths, eclec-
tics and osteopaths will have only one
each. A bill making this one-sided
provision was well on its way to the
house calendar with a favorable report
but for the fact that one or more MEM
bers of the committee called attention
to the fact that the bill, like former
one, contained a thrust at the Chris
tan Scientists of the state and there
fore at religious liberty
In short, the bill in its original form
would cause a penalty to be placed on
Christian Scientists, hundreds of whom
are among the leading citizens of
Florida, for relying upon God for the
cure of disease. Any attempt to pass
the bill without providing that it in
no wise interfere with the religious lib
erty of any man would raise a storm.
for this is too enlightened an age to
permit of any such imposition, which
is contrary to the provisions of the

BELIEVED THAT HE HAD
APPENDICITIS; KILLS HIMSELF

Chicago, April 1S.-John E. W. Way
man, former states attorney of Cook
county, who died early today from bull
let wounds inflicted by himself several
hours before, had suffered for several
days under the delusion that he was
afflicted with appendicitis according
to DIR. w. o. Groin, the family physi-
clan. Certain that Mr.. Wayman was
coming to d nervous breakdown, the
appendicitis scare was used as sub
terfuge to induce the patient to go to
Excelsior Springs, Mo, for few days
of rest.
He was told by the physician that
this would be the best way to prepare
for the operation. He consented to go
and returned to his home believing he
was to undergo the operation! Up to
the time he shot himself it is thought
he believed he must submit to the knife
within a short time.

When the attention OF members of

positions in the bill it was readily
agreed to again consider the measure,
and DIR. Middleton, chairman, announe-

noon. He and other members of the

New York Stocks.

New York. April 1s.-Speculation was
dominated by familiar influences which
have been operative recently and in the
absence Of new factors the market was
narrow and dull. Operations failed TO
produce essential changes except in a
few isolated instances in which it was
evident that professional short selling
had been carried too far. The outcome
of the st. Paul bond offerings was not
regarded by traders as satisfactory and
was used as basis for bear selling.

Governor Cox.

Columbus, o., April Ex-Governor
Cox has received much praise from
many sources for his splendid work
during the recent flood which swept
Ohio and Indiana. During the days of
peril he worked in the state house
twenty hours out of the twenty-four,
using rare discretion in his handling OF
emergency relief measures. Later,
when the stricken districts around
Dayton could be reached, he FASTENED
there and in person led the admins
tration of relief.
A man of rare force of character, his
straightforward point of view is shown
by his reception of a Columbus bank
cashier whose methods had aroused
the governor.
According TO the story, the bank Of
which this man was cashier had on
deposit SIS, 900 with building and loan
association of the city. When the bank
heard of the immense damage done

it demanded the immediate payment of
the money. 1t happened that, later,
$780, 900 of the relief funds sent to Ohio
had been deposited with the bank in
question.
Cox, upon finding its treatment of
the building and loan association
promptly withdrew the funds and de-
posted them in other banks. When
the cashier came around to see if the
governor would not change his mind
about the withdrawal, Cox took the
chance to express himself:
"A building and loan association Is
the peoples bank. It is the main re-
lance of the workingman who wants
to own a home. and when it is threat
ened with loss is the time for the bank
to come to it's assistance.

A little girl lost in the woods of
New Brunswick for five days, was
found by a spaniel dos. The dog re-
turned home at 4 O'Clock in the morn
ing, jumped on his masters bed and
refused to be quieted until he got up
and dressed. He followed the dog and
for six hours they tramped through
the woods in a straight line. Sudden

proach to a big tree, and there the
child was found. She was numb from
the cold, and too weak to walk, but
alive and conscious. The girl said
the dog had found her the day before,
but she was too weak to follow him.
He had gone for help and got it, and
showed by his actions that he knew
there must be no time lost if the girl
were to be saved. Two weeks ago we

Narrow Escape
Of King Alfonso.

For the third time during his brief
reign, an attempt has been made to
take the life of King Alfonso of Spain.
The would-be assassin is an anarchist
and had no grievance except that AL
fonso represented law, order, and gov
eminent. But for the reason that the
guards were alert and the king used
presence of mind. the attempt would
have been successful.
American people have little use for
kings as such. They went out OF the
king business nearly a century and a
half ago and since then have had no
occasion to take 1t up again. How
ever, all the observers win testify that
Alfonso makes a good ruler as kings
go and his assassination would have
proven a bad day for CASTLE.
The greatest danger of the anar-
chists and the greatest weakness OF
their cause lies in the fact that seem
ingly they select the mildest and most
benign rulers as marks of their out
RACES. Conditions are better in Spain
today than they have been for CEN
fury. Anarchists killed one OF the best
rulers united Italy ever had. In our
own country, there has been no kinder,
milder and benign president than Will
liam Mckinley. but he was the victim
OF the anarchists.
There is no excus> for their exist
ence in any country on earth and GER
tainly there is none in America. To
the credit of this country it may be
said there are no American born an
archists on the continent.
