The Expected Arrival of
King Priscus XIV.

The mayor of Pensacola has issued
his proclamation, announcing the ar
rival of King Priscus XIV on February
%, and the people of Pensacola will
greet his majesty at high noon on
that day.
Year after year, now. for many
years, King Priscus has made his an
nua1 visit to the city which he has
distinguished with his royal favor, and
1t is but fitting that he should he re-
ceived with all due honor.
It is not only the privilege of every
Pensacolian to greet the King Of The
Carnival on his arrival in the city,
but It is the duty OF all those who
believe in the annual festival Of mirth.
The men who are at the head of the
carnival association are working for
its success and are making every eff
fort to insure a celebration that will
rebound to the credit of Pensacola
Everybody can help to make the Mardi
Gras celebration an occasion of pleas
ure and interest, all by doing their
part to carry on the merriment and
fun-making.
Don't be a crouch. Get into the
game and do your part toward the
success of the annual festival.
The celebration of Mardi Gras. or
Fat Tuesday, is a day when Pensacola
is given over to fun and frolic- From
the time King Priscus sets his foot
on Palafox wharf, everybody should
the game. It is Pensacola's playtime.
but it must not be forgotten that many
come here to play with US, or to look
on at the fun and frolic- Let US all
do our part to see that those who
come to our city for the annual fes-
tival of mirth are properly received.
And let us all get together and meet
King Priscus in one big body of in
terested and loyal citizens. Let us give
the merry monarch the time of his life.
The cordially OF a welcome counts
for far more than it's magnifcence.
Let this then be no luke-warm recep-
ton that we tender his majesty, but,
meeting all in a common cause let
us rally about the King of Mirth, in
true and royal fashion.
Let us make of this Mardi Gras the
merriest that we have ever had
The mayor has made his announce
ment. giving the rules that govern
the two days Of merry making. Let
there be no disorder. no rowdyism. but
all unite in making the festival one
long to be remembered for fun and
frolic. happiness and hospitality.

Mighty Good Place
to Live.

A former citizen of Pensacola, who
has returned from Washington, D. c.,
after residence OF five years, a few
days ago said:
"Old Pensacola is hard to down. The
years come and go and bring with
them many vicissitudes, but nothing
short of an earthquake can kill the old
town. AS long as the men and women
of Pensacola are on the top side of the
earth they are going to start right I"
building UP again. just as soon as they
can pick themselves up. 1T doesn't
make any difference how hard the
knocks are"
Pensacola suffered pestilence in the
past, and with grim determination,
went to work and conquered not only
that. but the dangers of any repetition.
by going about the work Of curing the
causes as well as the diseases.
Pensacola suffered from storm, and
went to work. without asking any help
from anybody, and built up a more
beautiful city than ever before.
Pensacola suffered big fire losses.
and arose from the ashes proudly, and
in triumph. with bigger buildings. and
more of them.
Pensacola is today facing certain fl
nancial disasters in the same way.
Never mind the knockers-you don't
have to even be a booster or an opti-
tt
ing. 1t makes one think of fighting
cock. You may knock 1t down every
once in so often, but every time you
do, it hops up and flaps its wings and
crows and dares you TO give it another
crack
Pensacola is a great old town and If
you don't appreciate it you just ought
to go away for awhile, and you'll come
town"
1t is this kind Of talk that warns
the cookies of the heart
Pensacola is good town. There are
don't believe it. go away for spell
and you'll be mighty glad to get back
home again, and know how to appre-
ciate it. when you do get here.
One OF two disasters can't Kill a
town. any more than few hard
knocks can kill a man.
It's a mighty poor man than can't
lose and start in again to win. And
it's a mighty poor town that can't do
the same
Nothing short of an earthquake viii
ever take Pensacola off the map. It's
your town. Stand by 1t. through thick
and thin.

What Kind Of Glasses
Do You Wear?

A citizen OF Pensacola, in converse
ton the other day. gave voice to a
statement that is we'll worth thinking
over. This citizen-who happened to
be a most progressive woman, and so
may be considered a citizen, even if
she hasn't got the vote. said:
az have often wondered just what
size an inch is. Nearly all my life I
have worn glasses. and it is impossible
for me to determine whether an inch
is nearer to the size it seems to be
without my glasses, or nearer to the
size it is when I have my glasses on"
Now this woman had no idea that
she was making anything but a very
ordinary remark. Yet in the thought
she expressed there is a germ of truth
that might serve as text to sage or
scientist.
What size is an inch? What size is
anything? Is 1t nearer what 1t seems
to be to the naked eye? Or is it nearer
what 1t seems to be when it is magni-
fed?
Sometimes glasses help the vision
and sometimes they only help to cloud
it. None of US want to look at the
world through smoked glasses all the
time; some of us look at the world
through rose colored glasses, and most
Of us look at everything through mag
nifying glasses. Nine times out OF
ten. we do not see things clearly, but
with fictitious aids.
St. Paul in his famous epistle to the
Ephesians says: Now we see through
glass darkly" And it is so that
most of us look on life
None OF us wants to look on the
world through green goggles; it is
not desirable that we see things
through -colored lenses. and
glasses that magnify too much are
never helpful in the end.
Thankful should be the man who
can measure an inch with his eye, and
needs no aids from the oculist to pre-
vent his looking on the world with a
jaundiced vision.

CHAIRMAN OF COMMISSION
SAYS HE WAS MlSQUOTED
Pensacola. Feb. 11. lei.

Pensacola, Feb II, 1914.
Editor Pensacola Journal
am sure you did not intend to make
a misrepresentation IN reference to my
visit to Pensacola. Nevertheless you
done so. I hope you will publish, this
correction. In this mornings paper
you stated that at yesterdays meet
ing of the board of county commits
sioners and tax assessor of Escambia
county that I proposed to classify all
lands and fix valuations on different
classes at from $3.50 to $4,000 per acre.
I made no such proposition I know
nothing about the value OF lands in
Escambia county and I did not even
suggest to the assessor, nor county
commissioners as to how they would
classify lands, nor what value they
should place on them.
As to my favoring a 80 per cent basis
of true value 1 stated to Mr.. Richards
in the presence of the county com
missioners that the tax commissioners
was still standing by their order of a
full cash valuation as required by
law, but that the assessors in con-
vention at Jacksonville on February
End passed resolutions favoring a so
per cent basis of valuation on true
value for 1914 and that if they succeed
6O IL SEttlnS All the assessors IN the
state to pledge themselves to comply
with this resolution that the tax com
mission would accept of this and not
force full value for this year.
The tax commission insisted on the
assessors doing this at the conven-
ton in Tallahassee in November but
they refused. The tax commission will
accept of any plan that the assessors
will agree or that will be equal and uni
form, so that each county win bear it's
just proportion of the stare taxes it
does not matter wheSssT they all as
sess on a full cash vafUe or SO per
cent basis of true value provided they
are all together. The tax commission
ers will do all in their power to see
that every assessor in the state as
sesses all property as near on the same
basis as it is possible to do.
Heretofore, valuations have varied
from 10 to rs per cent of true value
in different counties. No two coun-
ties assessing on same basis.
We are doing all that we can to
correct this evil and a few of the
newspapers are aiding US, while others
are doing all they can to defeat our
plans.

PLAY FOOTBALL
THISAFTERNOON
FORT BARRANcAS AND PENSA-
COLA FOOTBALL TEAMS WILL,
MEET AT MAXENT PARK.

This afternoon the Seventy Seventh
company from Fort Barrancas and the
Pensacola football teams meet at Max
ent park at p. m.
The game is being played under the
auspices and for the. benefit of the
Pensacola Carnival Association. A
large crowd of rooters is coming UP
from the fort to cheer their team on
TO victory, and local rooters are asked
to turn out in force and help the local
boys win.
When these two teams met two
weeks ago the local boys defeated the
soldiers by the close score of 4 to 2.
Since then, however, the SOLDIERS claim
to have improved their team consid-
erably and are confident they will re-
turn to Fort Barrancas with the Pen
sacola scaIps attached to their belts.
The local boys meanwhile have not
been idle. and have put in some strenu-
Gus practice. Critics who have seen
both teams in action claim it will be
a close game. That it will be hard to
pick the winner, until the last whistle
blows. The weather conditions are
ideal for football, and the going will
be fast.
The lineup is as follows.

however, is about So per cent white
