Mysterious cases Of trouble from wa
ter in the carburetOr sometimes occur
even when there is q separator In the
gasoline line that ought to retain all
water. The explanation IS that the
moisture in the air taken IN through
the carburetOr is condensed on the
walls of the mixing chamber and drlps
down and causes trouble The cOndenS-
ing action is greatly intensified by the
cooling attendant upon the evaporation
of the gasoline which not infrequently
produces a coating of frost on the out
side of the intake pipe just above the
carburetOr. 1t is just as natural Tor
the moisture of the air to collect inside
the pipe as it is for the moisture to
collect outside. The moral is that wa
ter in the carburetOr does not neceS-
sarily indicate water IN the gasoline,
especially if there is a separator in the
line

A Simple System
VS.. a Complicated System.

At the Jones Charter meeting Satur-
day night. one speaker criticised the
Semrnes Commission Charter because
he said, it would require TWO years
to change the personel of a majority
of the Commissioners by regular cleo
ton.
This is true. But under the Jones
Charter the mayor and the two sal
aried Commissioners are elected for
FOUR years. 80
Under the Semmes Commission
Charter, ONE Commissioner, after the
first election, is elected EVERY year.
1t viii therefore be possible, without
resorting to the Recall to change a
majority of the Commission. by regu-
lar election. in a period not exceeding
two years
Cnder the Jones Charter. the mayor
and the two Commissioners. who they
say will manage the city's business,
can only be changed by regular cleo
ton EVERY FOUR years.
Un1er the Semmes Commission
1tldFL6Fs tie voters 6N Eth year Will
be able to concentrate attention on
ONE man and elect him.
Under the Jones Charter. the voters
must wait FOUR years to elect the
executive branch OF their government
and they must then divide their at
tention between THREE officers on
the one hand, and EIGHT officers
elected biennially) on the other. and
take a chance at getting ELEVEN
good men who will serve them.
Which is the simpler way-to elect
ONE good man EVERY year under
the Semmes Commission Charter, or
try to pick ELEVEN good men every
FOUR years under the Jones Charter !?
The Jones Charter provides the old
time aldermanic complicated system of
running the city's business. The
Semmes Charter provides the modern
and simple Commission system of
managing the city's business.
The voters Tuesday will choose be-
tween the two.

can to see that the law is enforced In
this matter, as in any other case of
alleged violation.
The governor has further advised
the sheriff that in view of the fact
that there seems to be such a strong
impression that gambling is engaged
in at the Beach club, that he is re-
quested to use every effort to detect
any such infraction of the law.
Governor Trammell started this in
vestigation into the alleged violations
of the law, not because it is stated
that gambling has been done by rich
people, but because of his determine
ton that the laws of this state must
be enforced imparially with respect
to the rich and the poor alike, there
being no exceptions made.

M BINGHAM ON
THE BOND TRUSTEES

Editor Pensacola Journal:
/ agree with you that the "city is
not dependent on bond trustees and
as one member of that board thor
oughly appreciate the good character
that you give us.
But please let me go over the story
of the municipal dock and belt rail-
road proposition, to show that retain
ing board of bond trustees is an ad-
vantage and a safeguard.
The original proposition met a
rather cool reception, particularly Mr.,
Harp's demand for a ten per cent, or
$4,000, fee. The ordinance drawn by
Messrs. Harp, Dobson and Henderson
and presented a little later did not
help matters.
The ordinance was introduced in the
council and went to the city attorney.
Mr.. Jones re-drew it so that the de-
sired legitimate object could be at
tained but with safeguards that he
deemed were necessary in the publics
interest. One of these safeguards was
that the preparation of bonds, their
advertisement and sale, the selection of
plans and site and construction,
should be in the hands of the board of
bond trustees with each step in the

MEN ADDRESS
WORSH|PPERS
OFFICERS OF STATE LEAGUE ARE
SPEAKERS AT FOUR SERVICES
IN cITY-WILL SPEND WEEK IN
THE COUNTY.

Two speakers of the Florida Anti
Saloon league who are also officers OF
that organization came to this city and
spoke at four different churches on the
temperance situation in the state.
They urged congregations at the
churches visited to line up for the pur-
pose of aiding in reforms which they
hoped the state legislature will put
through in April and May.
The Rev. C. w. Crooks, state super
intendent. spoke at the Gadsden street
NJ. z. church in the morning and at
the First Baptist church at night.
Field Secretary Usleman spoke at the
First Christian church in the morning
and at the First NJ. Z. church at night.
They will spend the week in the
county, but will return from Bagdad
to this city to speak at a meeting
Tuesday night at the East Hill Bap-
fist church.
Songs by Mr.. Thatcher featured the
special meetings yesterday.
The state officers of the league ex
press themselves as greatly pleased
with the spirit of progress shown by
the temperance people of Pensacola.
They reviewed the fight for the amend
ment to the Interstate commerce law,
the Webb bill, which places liquor
shipped into dry states under the law
of the state into which it is shipped.
The penalties prescribed by the stare
laws in each case being active in the
punishment of the deed.
The speakers said that wholesale
liquor men every where are lamenting
the passage of the Webb bill, for they
frankly acknowledge that it will stop
Illicit interstate shipment of liquor.
Intense interest and pleasure was
expressed by both speakers from the
fact that the Webb bill was passed by
such large majorities in the senate,
So to 81, and in the house Pa to SO,
large majorities ting how great
" prohibition has grown in the last
decade.
The speakers said that the fact that
both houses promptly and quickly
passed the Webb bill over the presi-
dents veto is greatly significant of the
strength of prohibition sentiment the
whole country over.

Misdirected
Enthusiasm.

In the United States se-ate while
the amendment to the constitution
providing for a single term for presi-
dent, was being discussed. Senator
Bristow, Of Kansas, offered an amend
ment for the recall of presidents. The
proposition only received ten votes and
etionaries all over the countrss-,
journalistic and otherwise, are very
exuberant and say the recall principle
OF government is losing ground and
has few friends in the senate.
This is a very unfair view to take
OF the situation but is typical of the
arguments of the reactionaries. AS a
matter of fact, the democratic plat
form committed the party to a single
term and every senator with progress
sive principles was anxious to have it
enacted into law. No party platform
has ever declared for the recall of
presidents and it has never been an
issue in a campaign. 1t was known
that a considerable number of demo-
cratic senators oppose the recall of
federal officials and few oppose the
principle of the recall
In view OF this and to insure the
passage Of the single term resolution,
to which the party is committed. many
democrats, who favor the recall of
unfit presidents just as they do other
corrupt officials. voted against the
Bristow amendment
The reactfonaries have no cause for
exultation. In due time al, officers
viii be elected by direct vote or the
people who also will be given the
power to remove the venal and the
corrupt.

whole matter subject to the scrutiny
and approval of the council.
This ordinance was voted upon by
the people and approved.
To assume that the Harp-Dobson-
Henderson ordinance would have been
approved is assumption indeed.
Did Messrs Harp-Dobson and Hen
derson like the Jones amendments?
They did not. particularly the bond
trustees amendment.
The day after the election the COM
merc7ai association sought to set aside
or neutralize. the last named amend
ment by forcing the selection Of its
famous designing board Of engi-
neers." Again there was disappoint-
ment, but Mr.. Dobson in communi-
catioR to your paper stated that the
hight would be continued.
1t was, and our popularity waned
rapidly. Two or three weeks later a
clause was inserted in the then near
~ completed Semmes (so-called) char
ter, abolishing our board.
How foolish for Mr.. Dobson to deny
that the commercial association is
fighting for the semmes form! And
how foolish for Mr.. Semmes to say
I'VE want to abolish the bond trus-
tees SO that we won't have grade diff
ferences"
The reason for our proposed ex-
tinction lies in the desire of the COM
mercial association officials to have,
or control, the handling of the 100000
dock bonds. The declaration of the
bond trustees that they will build the
docks on the city's property and elm
mate ten per cent engineers, does not
suit the powers that-would- be.
Vote for the Jones charter.

Pensaoola- Ela March

Pensacola, Fla, March 1, 1913
Editor Pensacola journal:
note in this mornings Journal an
article by Mr.. John P. Stokes, who
holds the honorable position of state
senator from this county, in which he
makes the statement that 1 killed the
bill to give Pensacola the right to
regulate public service corporations, in
the interest of justice and fairness to
the consuming public, because the at
torney of the public service corpora
tons had told him (me) to do it,
If Mr.. Stokes were a private citi-
zen, it is probable that it would be
unnecessary for me to notice the
statement. but since, as above stated,
he occupies a position of honor and
trust as a servant of the public, it is
necessary for me to publicly declare
that what he has said, and above
quoted, is without foundation, what
ever, in fact, and that he knows it.
Why he should be continually drag
sing my name before the public is
past my understanding. am not talk
ing an active part in the present city
charter controversy, but am conduct
ing my business as a private citizen,
according to my rights.

die, and to ascribe his conduct to such
motives as they see fit. If aetuated by

the attributes Of a statesman.

NEW USE FOR GERMS
Florida Health Notes.

There may be good trusts and bad.
There certainly are good germs and
bad. We all agree that the diphtheria
bacillus when it causes 6iphtaer:a is
bad germ. 1t is also held that when
it inhabits a vel: throat and refuses to
be dislodged, it is liable to cause the
spread of diphtheria by getting a few
germs loose here and there AMI these
finding their way into other throats
and setting up trouble. These car
rier cases of diphtheria are a problem
For, after a case of diphtheria gets
well, it is frequently q great propo-
sition to get the individual rid of the
germs. They defy our efforts to dis
ledge them.
Quite recently other germs have
been called into service to get rid Of
the diphtheria germs. When a car
rier case still persists in carrying. his
throat is sprayed with culture OF the
Stayphylococcus pyogenes aureus
(Whew), and that is said to get rid
of the diptheria germs.

perience seems to be pretty generally
