The Proposed New State
of West Florida.

The Journal very frankly admit:
state and creating a new state out OF
West Florida was advanced a few
months ago, it did not regard the prop
osition-meritorious though 1t was
seriously.
Nearly fourteen years ago, The Jour
nal enlisted in an movement looking tc
the annexation Of West Florida to Ala
bama and that movement. while it did
mot attract the support of many FTorid-
fans, did impress upon Alabama the
great value Of this rich gulf coast sec
ton, and Alabama adopted a constitu-
uuirement OF West Florida should the
time ever come when F1oridians would
regard the matter with favor.
Happily that time has never come
and the reasons for annexation
potent though they were then-have
peculiar conditions which produced
them.
1t was perhaps the recollection of
the cold reception which F1oridians
gave the annexation movement that
prevented The Journal from giving
serious consideration to the recent
proposition to divide the state. although
the argument in favor Of division now
is much more potent than the argu-
ment in favor of annexation then,
We are glad to observe therefore
that the advocates of state division are
meeting with more support than the
advocates of annexation did.
But state division has more argu-
ment behind it. The people of the
proposed state of West Florida have
little in e.mmon with the people OF
the balance of Florida Their business
interests are different. Their agricul-
trral interests are different Socially
they seldom see each other. Politically
they are usually at variance. Relig-
iously, even. they belong to different
church divisions. West Florida is in
the Alabama Methodist conference and
in the Mobile Catholic diocese.
The plan to make a separate state of
West Florida is a good one. 1t will
give us a chance to govern ourselves.
We shall be relieved of political domi-
nation by the rest of the state. We
will be composite, compact whole,
every county of the state being within
reach of every other county. 1t will
give the democratic party two more
United States senators at Washington
1t WILL in fact, put West Florida on
the map and advertise the resources
and attractions of this rich section as
nothing else in the world could do.
The Journal would not give UP the
name of Florida, but the name of West
florida is equally as attractive We
trust the legislature will regard the
state division plan with favor.

AFTERMATH OF THE
SECRETARY'S VISIT

tionaI committeeman from his state
(Connecticut) except that Welles was
a republican while Daniels is a demo-
crat.
The steamer Pilot never looked finer
than she did when she carried the sec
rotary of the navy and the members of
the Florida legislature out over the
blue waters of Pensacola Bay. She
was diked out in all her glad rags and
above them flew the secretary's flag.
which had been secured especially for
the occasion from the department at
Washington. There was TO secretary s
flag at the navy yard, even that having
been carted away On the order last
year of Secretary Meyer, and the flag
for the pilot boat had to be secured
from Washington. The tender of the
Pilot for the entertainment Of the city s
distinguished guests Tuesday was an
other evidence of the public spirit
which the Pensacola pilots always ex-
hibit This enterprise on their part
constituted by. far the largest single
contribution to the success of the oc-
casion.
Speaking Of the secretary's flag, Sec
rotary Daniels referred to the state OF
mind of one of his small sons on the
subject. THAT is one thing" said Sec
rotary Daniels, that he has not yet
been able to figure ont. The fact that
a ship flies a special flag for his father
whenever I go aboard one is beyond
that boys comprehension. He doesn't
see why and can't explain it to him. -
Leon Loeb, with Characteristic en-
terprise, had his moving picture cam
era at the hotel as the secretary
emerged from the luncheon and he Sc
cured a good picture, providing the
negative turns out all right. Mr. Loeb
had expected to make numerous pic
lures in connection with the secre-
tary's visit, but the lens for his camera
only arrived on the p. m. train and
this was the only exposure he was abe
to make.
When the secretary goes to Guam
tanamo this summer he will probably
sail from southern port and an effort
will be made to get him to make the
trip via Pensa cola. He said he wanted
to come to Pensacola again and this
will be his opportunity.

WOMAN Barring HER SOUL TO
.-, SAVE HER HUSBAND

-. SAVE HER HUSBAND
Minneapolis, Minn., April 5.-Shat-
tered and broken in spirit, her face
death mask nodded by the hand of
remorse, Mrs. Oscar Olson, is in Sc
clusion somewhere in Minneapolis to-
day, gathering her strength to pay
the debt she owes the man whose
name she bears.
Her husband, professor at the
state university, is on trial for the
murder of Glyde Darling, milkman.
Olson does not deny the murder. He
justifies himself by the unwritten
law. :.
His fate is in the keeping of his
wife. To save his life the woman
must go before the world and bare
the blacklist page of her life history.
She must .flaunt her sin, cast away
her womanhood and prove herself
one of three things-a woman who
sinned voluntarily, woman who was
frail or a woman lost in the mael-
storm of mans passions.
Helped by the careful questioning
of the defense's lawyers yesterday,
her courage faltered as she told the
first details of her sordid story on the
witness stand. Spectators morbidly
listened to every word she uttered.
The woman crumpled and broke be-
fore the leering glances of court
hangers-on.
Monday, when she is in the hands
of the prosecutor, her ordeal will be
terrible.
81 was ashamed" was the burden
of her story.
Repeatedly she faltered the three
words. All of the pitiful fight she
hadmade to be good was made plain
in them. She had not been afraid
to tell her husband. She was
ashamed. IL
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-04-05

She fought to break off her Illicit
relations with the dead man. Her
battle was vain. There was no one
to whom she could turn for held. She
was ashamed to have her husband
know.
81 had improper relations with
Darling" she murmured, her voice
cheked. She was strangling her
reputation, her soul, that her hus-
band might go free.
Every eye in the court room was
on her as she confessed her shame.
Her face blanched, her body relaxed,
and she tried to shrink back into the
depths of the great witness chair.
when did you first speak to your |
husband of this?" she was asked.
"In June"
what did you tell him."
81 told him Darling had Rugged
and kissed me- answered, the
woman.
was that a1l?"
Eyes. 1 wanted to tell him every =
thing. I wanted to have him protect
me. My God! wanted to be good.
But 1 was ashamed, so ashamed"
The last sentence was wall that
echoed through the death-ike still
ness of the court room. The tension
was broken by the sobbing of women.
why did you tell your husband?"
81 thought he would make the man
stop coming to the house. 1 thought
maybe he would understand"
'tWhat did you tell Darling?"
