A Rich County of
Southeastern Alabama.

The Journal presents to its thousands of readers to-
day sections devoted to Covngton county, Alabama
of the richest agricultural counties in the rich
territory of which it is part.
covington county, of which Andalusia is the
ty and F1ora1a is the closest the Florida
line, lies northeast of Pensacola and joins Florida In
air line Andalusa which is in about the of the
county is IS miles from Pensacola and Forala is 65
miles from Pensacola.
A community interest therefore exists between
Covington county and the Deep Water City of the Gulf
This tie strengthened by the building of the Yellow
River Railroad which gave Pensacola connection
the L. & N with Forala, and it will be still further
strengthened by the building of the projected line from
Pensacola Anda1usia connecting with the Central OF
Georgia railroad at the latter point
There is crop fruit indigenous at all to this
great southern country that cannot be successfully and
proftab1y grown in Covington county And there is
hardly any crop or fruit that be grown anywhere
which cannot be grown hee.
Corn and cotton, hay, forage, tubers fruit and vine
all grow prolihcay-and the ready SOIL the rain, the
sunshine need only the cooperation of the hubandman
to virgin tract of cutover land into vertable
garden spot Many doing it. Others can do it.
With good climate, good SOIL good water good
neighbers there is every why the people to the
north of this fertile section should their faces
southwark and here help make, and enjoy while they
making it, the garden spot of the continent.

Another Democratic
Editor Named.

The appointment by the president of
Richard L. Metcalf. of Nebraska, to
be governor of the canal zone, is par
ticularly pleasing to the real democrats
of the country.
Mr. Metcalf Is and has been for a
long time the editor OF The Commoner,
Mr.. Bryan's weekly paper. He has
done a great deal of good and during
those dark days for the party in 1904
when the democrats turned the organi-
cation over to Wall street. Mr.. Metcalf
exerted a wide influence in holding the
party together in the middle west and
upper Mississippi Valley states.
OF course the appointment is pleas
ing to Secretary Bryan, but it was
made on the recommendation of Sec
rotary Daniels and Secretary Garrison.
The resident has shown a DISPOSE
ton to appoint prominent democratic
editors to important offices and so far
seems to have made few if any mis-
takes.

The Arrnor
Plate Trust.

Hon. Josephus Daniels, secretary of
the navy, was not long in stumbling
onto the time honored and obvious fact
that our government buys it's armor
plate of a trust and that there is alb
solutely no competition in the bidding
for the contracts. The managers of
the steel concerns which make the
plate do not seriously pretend there is
any such thing as competition.
1t is a notorious fact that for years
the government has been paying about
80 per cent more than the cost of the
arnaor.. Naval officials will explain that
the government is really substituting
the private steel concerns to encourage
them to keep their battleship producing
plants in good condition in order to
meet all possible demands that might
be made in time of actual war.
Secretary Daniels also discovered
this same condition to prevail in re-
gard to smokeless powder. Govern
ment experts discovered the process of
making 1t but turned it over to pri-
waite corporation which charges the
government nearly twice what the
powder is really worth.
This is graft of the rankest and most
offensive kind. It is a part and parcel
of the policy of the republican party
and is a factor in that party's system
that helped to bring on it's downfall.
Secretary Daniels recommends that
the government make its own armor
plate and powder as we'll This would
very effectively put an end to this
robbery. but congress may decide it
can be done more judiciously in some
other manner.
Anyway the government is being
robbed of enormous sums for the bene-
ut of a favored few.

The Sins of
the Senate.

One OF the most important questions
before the public at the present time
is whether the United States senate
Will follow a long list OF disgFacefui
precedents and serve the predatory In
terests by knocking the Underwood
tariff bill out of recognition.
Ever since the Civil war, the senate
las been the stronghold OF the special
interests. 1t has been controlled by
the men who represent the protected
and fostered interests. 1t has firmly
and stoutiy defied tariff reform and all
other kinds of reform. The senate was
largely responsible for the Mckinley
bill. The Wilson bill of 1894 which
President Cleveland said was In its
final form IAN act OF party perfidy and
dishoncr," was made so by the senate
end il was that body that put the final
touches of oppression on the PAYNE
Aldrich bill, of four years ago
The senate is now for the first time
In history, directly responsible to the
people. 1t is true the present mem
hers were elected by legislatures, but
when they come up for reelection they
must appeal to the voters. Controlling
the electorate is 8 much harder job
than ecnquering a legislature. A larger
constituency completely changes the
complexion Of senatorial. contests.
Now, every voter must be considered
and most voters are consumers. who
want low prices. This will reverse the
viewpoint OF many senators.

to the people. We shall see what the

THE BUGBEAR OF
SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS

Editor Pensacola Journal:
As the air is full of examinations
with their chill producing sensations
it may not be amiss to make a sug-
gestion or two along this line.
As to teachers examinations, we be-
lieve that if each county could main
tain a. summer normal to be attended
by the teachers, at q low cost to them,
it would result in better teachers and
better work, and if a teacher had to
make certain average in attendance
and scholarship, in these schools, in
order to secure a certificate, instead of
by the present methods of teachers
examinations, we would find an almost
immediate Improvement in all the wfrk
done.
AS at present arranged we do not
believe that the examinations are any
test whatsoever of a teachers ability.
In regard to the pupils, we believe
that if a child had to make a certain
monthly average in scholarship, de-
pertinent and attendance, in order to
be promoted, instead of by the present
method OF final examinations, it would
tend to increase the attendance, i'm
prove the department, and advance the
scholarship.
think along this line and especially
interesting would be the opinion of ex-
perienced teachers.
No one who has witnessed the ner-
vous strain of children, subjected to
this cruel experience of a final exarni-
nation can fail but pity them, and no
one can possibly indorse the examining
sorted to in both cases of teacher and
pupil in their examination experiences.

SUNDAY. JUNE 5. 1913.
The New Commissioners
and Their Subordinates.

Pensaeola's new form of city govern
ment goes into effect tomorrow when,
at high noon, the three commissioners
who will hereafter handle our munich
pal affairs assume Office.
Under the new charter, the COM
Bissioners must appoint the heads of
fees are automatically vacated under
the charter as soon as the commits
sfoners themselves assume office.
The people are looking to these three
commissioners for a great deal-more
p~ssibly than the commissioners can
deliver but it is not too much to ex-
Iect that we should have efficiency in
government that weak points should
be made stronger, and that no action
should be taken to make any of the
present strong places weaker
A business government is what is
expected. Politics is not expected to
play any part in it. No commissioner
is expected to use his Office as means
for paying political debts. Methods
that were in vogue 10 years age will
find no favor with public sentiment
now.
The Journal trusts therefore that
the report that some of the most eff
Gent members of the city government
are to be turned down to make room
for political helpers is unfounded The
commissioners will have enough to do
without weakening their organization
by d;splacing good men of known ca
pacitT and installing in their positions
nntried men of unknown capacity.
Efficiency should be the test in al.
cases. Where man is efTicient, keep
him. Where he is not, kick him out
Politics has no place in the commission
government of Pensacola.
The Journal believes the present
commissioners are going to make good
and The Journal wants in its humble
way. to give them all the support pos
sible in making good. That is the
reason for these few remarks

.COssON Wants
COURTS RULING
ATTORNEY GENERAL TAKES 10
SUE WITH DISTRICT JUDGE
ON LAW ENFORCEMENT.


Des Moines, April 16.-Attorney
General Cosson has filed with the SUI
preme court his brief and argument Ia
the certiorari case in which he joins
issues with Judge c. B. Bradshaw la
the matter OF the refusal OF the latter
to permit the attorney general OF the
state to appear before the grand jury
in Marshall county In March for the
purpose OF presenting evidence In Z
matter In which the state was inter
ested and intended to become q party
Of record and for the purpose of super.
vising the conduct OF the county at
torney and cooperating with him In
prosecution Of certain persons. The
attorney general has CAUSED the court
to be cited to show cause and at the
coming session Of the supreme court
the matter will be heard. After re-.
citing the law and the authorities on
which he relies the attorney general
concludes:
1.-THE case would not have been dis.
cussed at such length except for the
far reaching effect such q ruling ~
made by the lower district court would
have If permitted to prevail and be-
come a part OF the law and the policy
of this state. The decision could work
no good but would result in untold evil.
1t is bottomed upon the false premise
that this Is not sovereign state with
some central power and authority to
see that the laws enacted by the legis-
iature are enforced In every part Of
the state but It; proceeds upon the
theory that the state is an aggregation
of ninety-nine sovereign powers. each
county supreme and independent in It,
self with full authority to nullify state
laws whenever, 1t. ID politically or
otherwise advisable FOR the county at.
torney or local law official to permit
such violations. It would emasculate
ana nullify the most vital provisions
found in the law enforcement meas
ures passed by the thirty-third general
assembly. It would undo the work that
has been accomplished during the past
six years In Iowa In creating q more
wholesome respect for the laws. It
would encourage persons to run for
office in local communities upon an
upon town Issue. II IL In oontrayen-
ton of our statutes; 1t Is contrary to
the common law, and has no moral,
logical or rational basis to support It.
The lower district court should be held
