TUESDAY, MAY Is, 1913.
Congratulations to
All of the Candidates.

The Journal congratulates both the
winners and the losers In the city
primary campaign, which ended last
night.
1t was a clean, as well as decisive
contest, between good citizens, and it
leaves none Of the bitterness or i'll
feeling which frequently results from
prolonged campaigns. The men who
won did so on their merits and the
men who lost did so with a conscious
ness that no act Of theirs leaves cause
for reproach or regret.
With A. Greenhut, Frank Pou and
Thomas Johnson as commissioners,
Pensacola Is sure to have q just and
successful city government under the
new commission form. They are all
men of the highest character and
standing and they have the confidence
Of the entire community.
The Journal congratulates them on
their success and 1t pledges to them it's
own cooperation and support in the
good city government which it knows
their administration is going to pro-
vide.

AS to the moral effect, after years

not, but the financial accruments to

offender of this class instead of being
able to pay fine he becomes an incu-
bus on the government. It's to be
hoped that the preachment of ce tain

essayed to weed out this feature in orr

A STATEMENT
FROM HUFFAKER
CORRESPONDENT
OUTIN PERSONAL REPLY TO
RECENT STATEMENT ISSUED
BY GOV. TRAMMELL RELATIVE
TO PUBLICATIONS.

Frank L. Huffaker, Tallahassee cor
respondent, has issued the following
statement in reply to Governor Tram
men's recently published denial of re-
ported candidacy:
Statement by Frank /. Huffaker.
note that Governor Trammell has
issued a statement with reference to
my story in which certain prominent
legislators and citizens jpoIitiCian-like,
they did not want their names used,
but put the burden on the newspaper
mani accused him of playing politics
in his fight on the Bryan primary bill.
In his statement the governor says
he wasn't playing politics. Well, l
hope he wasn't. I understand that fol-
lowing the publication Of the story in
several state papers that the governor
spent considerable time at the Leon
hotel explaining that he wasn't playing
politics. in view of which I accept his
statement, as I am of the belief that
honesty is at least one qualification
that the young governor has for hold
ing the place of chief executive of the
state One of the leaders of Florida
politics. who is a friend of the gov
ernor, declared to me, though, that he
told the governor that he thought the
governor was playing politics" and
that if he the political LEADER hap
pened to be governor of Florida, he
thought he could exert sufficient I'M
f1uence to kill any good measure that
came up in either house, regardless of
its virtue or the strength Of the man
introducing it.
Just as I was writing this one Of
the brightest and squarest members Of
the senate came in and said this: Il
think you are right in this matter.
oil ar n
ernor TrammeI, but since I came up
here I am impressed with the fact that
he is playing the political game for all
it is worth. He has expressed himself
as being in favor Of several matters in
which I am interested, but he always
wants his expressions regarded as alb
soluteIy confidential. Well, if I am for
anything. I am for it openly at all
times, and although realize that this
attitude isn't going to bring me any
thing politically, I think the governor
of Florida should be built along the
same lines. In fact, though, the belief
is dawning on me that in all his po
1itfcal career Governor TrammelI has
never accomplished anything that
warranted the overwhelming vote by
which he was elected governor Of FLOR
ida"
I print the senator's statement-and
the senator is not Of the so-called
s:plute" type-for what it is worth, and
make no comment thereon.
The governor closes his statement
with these words: They have a right
TO their opinion. On the other hand. I
have a right to mine and shall express
them at my pleasure, although in doing
so 1 may be criticised by some narrow
minded, all-wise, unfair person, who

ON THE SPUR OF
THE MOMENT.
The Statesman Pusued
BY Roy x. Mouiton.


Oh, democratic congressman,
We envy not your lot;
We do not look with greedy eyes
Upon the snap you've got.
No horde of office seekers camps
Upon our porch at night
To tackle us with phony claims
On the first streak of light.
They Go not dog our footsteps when
We ambIe down the street;
We do not find them meath our bed
Or hid behind the teet.
They do not put us in hole
Until our mind is frayed,
Reminding US of promises
That we have never made.
Oh, democratic congressman,

Another Example of
Fee System Operation.

Yesterday morning. The Journals
news columns contained the following
significant report:
Deputy Sheriff McNair, of Pensacola,
and Deputy Graham, residing near
Walnut Hill, reached Pensacola yester-
day with sixteen negroes in custody,
all on the charge of gambling. The
deputy caught the men at Buckeye,
forty-two miles from Pensacola in the
extreme northwestern part of the
county.
The negroes were all employed at
the Owens turpentine camp and the
deputies in passing there yesterday
saw the men being paid off and decided
to drop back later in the night. About
80 o'clock Sunday forming they ap-
peared at a hut in the turpentine camp
and found sixteen. Three others were
in the house, but were not arrested,
as the deputies said they were not en-
gagged IN the alleged game.
The deputies did not have enough
handouts, so they tied ABOUT twelve of
the prisoners together with ropes and
brought them to the city In this man
ner.
Does anyone imagine that these ne
groes would have been hauled AZ miles
to Pensacola, saddnng the county with
all of the expense in the case, If the
sherifFs office had been on a salary
basis instead of fee basis?
Does anyone imagine that the depu-
ties would have felt it their duty to
drop back later in the night" and
raid this petty colored crap or skin
game if there had not been a specia.
fee in it for them?
And what is the result? The tax
payers are saddled with the expense,
the tlrpentine man is damaged by the
loss OF his help, and the negroes
natural proclivity to shoot craps has
not. been curbed In the remotest de-
gree.
The time Of the sheriff's office ought
TO be devoted to serious things instead
of employing deputies to keep watch
of negro pay days and lay awake
nights for the purpose OF raiding petty
crap games.
1t is about time for the legislature
TO get out from under control of the fee
officers lobby and do something to re-
lieve the taxpayers of these burdens
which come as a result of the present
fee system.

Satisfied
The division of the state by making
West Florida a separate state is now
being agitated in legislative circles.
1t is proposed to put all the counties
west of Taylor and Madison in the
new state. We haven't thought much
about it, but 1t will probably make
very little difference on which side of
the line we are placed, as we are re-
liably informed that it VIII not affect
climate, health nor the productiveness
Of the soil. Just so it is Florida and
Taylor county we will be satisfied
