Pleasing Selection of
Slate Makers.

Sometimes the slate makers hit on
selection that is pleasing and ac-
ceptahIe TO the whole country.
We do not know who nrst suggested
that President sleot Wilson appoint
his fellow virginian, DR.. Thomas Nell
SON Page, to represent this country at
the court OF st. James. but the sug-
gestion seems to please everybody.
Thomas Nelson Page Is probably
without prejudice. at the head of
American letters, and Is moreover a
gentleman OF courteous and knightly
bearing and Of wide and intelligent
conceptions. He would in every way
come up to the requirements OF the
post.
The embassy to England is largely
an office of social functions and Doc
tor Page and his wife are eminently
fit to meet these obligations.
The country has set the precedent
of sending men of letters to London
and in the previous cases, notably
with John Hay and James Russell
Lowell. the appointments were sue
cessful.

PARCELS POST

F. G. cHRIsTEL; OF WATSON, PAR
KER & REESE, PURCHASES THE
FIRST STAMP AND MAILED THE
FIRST PACKAGE.

The parcels post was placed in oper-
atlon In Pensacola, as well as every
ONCE IN the United States, yesterday
morning, and although the number of
packages TO be handled at the local
off1ee was quite small for the first day.
1t Is expected that the volume of bust
ness viii increase as the people become
accustomed to the new service.
F. G. Christel, of Watson, Parker &
Reese, bears the distinction of pur-
chasing the first parcels post stamp,
and mailing the first package in the
Pensacola postoffice. The package was
addressed to his wife on North Alcaniz
street and it was delivered at their
home before the noon hour.

Sending Dairy
Products by Mail.

In Great Britain where the parcels
post system has been on trial long
enough to show pretty fully what win
be its usefulness in lessening the cost
of living, there is no question Of its
benefits. 1t certainly does in many
cases bring about direct trading be-
tween producers and consumers. The
London newspapers publish advertise
ments of milk, cheese, butter, eggs,
fresh fish. fowls, hams and apples by
mail.
The daily delivery of fresh eggs by
mail in the city Of London is said to
be so large that special building has
been set apart in which to handle
them.
Considerable time-wiil be required
to develop the system of parcels de-
liveries in this country so as to get
the full measure of advantage. But
it is no longer an experiment and its
success is assured.

vox PoPULI.
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
SHOULD GIVE A BOND

Editor Pensacola Journal.
This question should receive deep
consideration by our law makers, and
each county commissioner should be
required to furnish a good bond for
faithful performance and legal expen-
diture of the peoples finances.
Nearly every little petty officer is
required to give security for his acts,
but here Is the most important and
essential Office in our governing ma
cnlnery that Is run in a manner that
TO spend every cent in sight seems to
be the go, and nothing behind the
board but the axe of decapitation at
the polls and then a repetition of the
same old story.
Every county we ever heard of has
the court house and Jail scapegoat as
a means to tap the treasury of the
county, and If we were to add the cost
OF our own county court house annex
and jails together for the last thirty
years we would find that the construc-
ton, repairs and interest and extras
would equal a large expenditure of our
county finances and would equal about
what has been paid out for the edu-
cational department, but if our com
inlssloners had been under bond for
such amounts as would justify the
handling OF such sums of finance as
they do, there would have been more
thought and elaboration before the
ready aye was given when an expen-
diture was to be made. We would not
need attorneys to fight claims that
are founded on technical contracts. etc.
We notice our commissioners and
other public officers avoid the courts
and legal advisers in their private af-
fairs, yet are ready and anxious to
have an attorney at their elbows in
their deliberations, and upon the first
pretext call in extra help. Why should
we not have the same consideration as
IN private affairs in our officers?
Our county commissioners should be
MEN OF good judgment and delibera-
ton, and get salary by the year and
each give bond Under our present
system the extra meetings, investiga-
tons and supervisions and so on far
equals the salary of the commission
ers' court IL 1t was a salaried office.
There are often extra meetings that
would be avoided if a man knew that
ne had to attend to his business, or

House resolution No. 225Sg, known
as the Lowden bill, carrying an appro-
priation of 100000, recommending to
the state department that that sum be
appropriated for an embassy, legation
and consular building at Mexico City.
Toxic, Berne, and Hankow viii doubt
less receive favorable consideration
during the present session Of congress.
This amount. of course, would not be
sufficient TO complete these buildings
but would serve the purpose of MAX
ing a beginning which congress has
had in contemplation for some time.
The representatives of the United
States to these important posts have
been seriously embarrassed in the
past, and in keeping with the dignity
of this country this appropriation
should be passed without further de-
lay.

was liable for his f-.lure in not doing
it.
Excuse a little departure from the
question, but as far as legal expenses
upon the part of the board of instruc-
ton are concerned, the records are
orer for inspection and V i'll not show
over one hundred dollars paid out by
that board during the last four years
and this for investigating titles and
making deeds, etc, upon property
whereon to build school houses, as the
expenditure of the peoples money on
property that all doubts of title was
not removed was not in keeping with
the trust imposed upon the board. We
only allude to this Latter as the last
&C controversy between the county attor-
ney and clerk of the court brought
forth an article abiding to the board
OF instruction and their expenses as
was paid for legal advice, and as a
member of the school board / think
that this should be corrected before
the public, as from said statement 1
have been asked about the legal eX-
penses and the three hundred dollars
per year as the article stated for a
lawyer and I say in conclusion the
amount of about one hundred dollars,
as stated, has been paid to different
attorneys and no particular one, as the
be ard of instruction has no attorney
hired and do not need one only in
cases as aforesaid or the last resort
in the management of the educational
interests in Escambia county.
