sAruRDAY. FnBRuARY Is. 1s1s.
Legislators Caught
With the Goods.

According to news reports five menu
Eers Of the West Virginia legislature
have been arrested for selling their
votes In the present senatorial contest
and were found with marked money in
their pockets. One Of these legisla-
tors is reported to have said that for
$4,000 he could break the deadlock
and the public prosecutor and detec-
tiyes arranged fake pay day with
the result as announced.
In the past it has been known that
numbers of senators bought their po-
sitions ana it is believed that several
present senators were elected by the
aid OF corrupt Influences. But the re-
turn to healthier conditions is indi-
Gated and at the present day it is an
extremely difhcu1t matter for anyone
TO purchase seat in the senate Of the
United States.
Thespeople without regard to state
or section. will no longer tolerate such
corrupt acts and no doubt the time is
near at hand when all senator's will be
the free and untrammeled choice of
their constituents.
The political boodler is fast passing
into history.

The news from Mexico is not at all
reassurins. As a matter of fact 1t has
not been for the past hundred years.
Mexico without revolution would not
be Mexico. 1t Is true, former Presi-
dent Diaz managed to keep himself in
power and to maintain the upper hand
of the revoIutionists for something like
so years. But he probably left Mexico
in poorer condition than he found
it While the United States must pro-
tect American lives in Mexico. all pos
sible efforts should be used to keep this
government from interfering with the
domestic affairs Of our neighbor.

DIPHTHERIA.
Florida Health Notes.

Diphtheria used to be one of the
most fatal Of all diseases. 1t was
the terror OF childhood. Thirty years
ago the appearance of diphtheria in
the rural communities excited almost
as much fear as the prediction that
the world was coming to an end. AMI
we'll it might, for the death roll from
this disease was something awful. In
Chicago. for example during a four
teen-year period, from 1882 to 1895,
the deaths from dfphtheria numbered
1876 for every hundred thousand
people.
But that was before the days OF
antitoxin. Since that time antitoxin
has been used The fourteen years
following its introduction the death
rate from diphtheria in Chicago was
only S6 per hundred thousand people.
reduced 75 1-2 per cent.
Antitoxin is expensive to prepare.
But those who are not able to pay
for il can get 1t without cost. The
stats board of health has provided for
it. Your family physician will ex-
plain Il.
Don't forget that:
Diphtheria antitoxin cures diphtheris
when given in the early stages of the
disease.
One more don't:
II the baby has sore throat, don''
treat it as a trivial matter, but call

Mr.. GRIFFITH DISCUSSES
THE PROPOSED CHARTERS

Editor Pensacola Journal:
On Tuesday March 4th, you will be
asked to vote on a new city char
ter.
You will be required 60 make
choice between two charters, one. the
Senmes committee charter. provides
for the government of the city by three
commissioners, a closed kind Of
government. The other prepared by
City Attorney Jones. provides for a
mayor. and two commissioners to exc
cute and administer ordinances, and
public policies, which shall be adopt
ed by q board of commissioners rep
resenting the various sections of the
city. and elected by the whole people,
and open and representative kind of
government
Which will be the better kind of gov
ernmsnt for Pensacola?
Under the committee charter. the
city's power over public utilities Is
narrow and vague.
The Jones charter greatly increases
those powers and makes them clear,
definite and certain.
The committee charter keeps the
city under the control Of three COM
nissioners, and limits the people to
the exercise of certain delegated pow
ers in the manner that the legisla-
ture determines. The Jones charter
gives the people Of the city the right
Of local self government for all mu-
nicipal purposes.
The committee charter gives two of
the three commissioners the power
without reference to, or consulting
the peoples wishes, to sell the city's
water front, or any city property.
Under the Jones charter this could not
be done without an ordinance passed
and approved by thirds Of all the
commissioners elected to represent the
people.
The COMMITTEES charter gives three
commissioners, whomsoever they
might be, full authority and control
over the recent bond issue, and the
four hundred thousand dollars aris-
ing therefrom, and power tor purchase
property. build wharxes, docks and
terminals without consulting the pee-
pie. The Jones charter provides that
the present board of bond trustees
shall attend to the issuing of these
bonds, the expenditure of the money
the purchasing Of property, and the
building of wharves, docks and ter
minals, In such manner as shall be ap-
proved by the board of commissioners,
whom the people shall elect to repre-
sent them, just as the people declared
they wished to be done when they vot-
ed in the election OF December 3oth,
in favor of the bonds.
When the commission government
and bond issue propositions were sub
mitted to you, were you not told, and
did you not understand that commits
sion government would have nothing
to do with the bond issue? Would you
| not rather trust in this matter the
bond trustees, who are known to you
and representatives to be elected by
you, than take chances with two OF
three men, you cannot tell who?

Again the newspapers are recording
the death Of Menelik. He is said to
have been very progressive for an Af-
rican prince, having great liking for
American and European comforts a..d
appliances. One obituary writer says
he was an excellent man OF business
and il any grating was TO be done in
the kingdom. Menelik would do 1t him.
self. He was fond of autonaobiling
and every time his machine ran down
a subject he beheaded the chauffeur.
Menelik has been dying OF and on for
so many years that he must be getting
old by this time, should he still be
living What ruler succeeds him will
make little difference to the rest Of the
world and probably not much more to
his subjects.
