Editor Pensacola Journal.
A few days ago some articles APP

pearance than what is behind it?
wouldn't you prefer bflEboards, espe-
ciaIly the nice way in which they APP
peared during the holidays, than empty
lots strewn with paper, tin cans, garb-
age, unsightly dead brush, barrels
boxes, etc? Many people have bill
boards put up purposely to keep others
from dumping and throwing trash onto
the lots.
on my way home from work pass
a good many. of these billboards, and
naturally hear many remarks about
them. but all in their favor, such as:
Cant see the old dirty lots now, can
your and, Looks better down here
now, they ought to put some on the
other side of the street, too" and
"ouite an Improvement" etc.
How would you like to take walk
on q Sunday noon for instance, for
about ten blocks, going to dinner some
where, and pass about a dozen Of these
lunch? No! The bilTboards do not
have this effect on anyone; they are
not an ornament, but they hide the
dirt that Pensa cola don't seem TO want
to have cleaned up.
People have passed these places hun.
dreds and hundreds of times, and, as
one man remarked the other day:
Thanks to goodness, at last they put
up something to hide them. am sure
if the Lady Visitor who looked from
the San Carlos hotel window the other

PENSACOLA AND
PENSACOLIANS
Florida's Press Gang.


There is no state in the union thdl
has a better bunch OF newspaper mea
than Florida and there is no state III
the union that has any better news
papers. The Christmas EDITIONS TINS
year were far and away better than
other states~can boast even though we
are situated on the coat tails of Uncle
Sans paternaI garment. The press
gang of Florida contains some OF the
biggest, best and brainest men in the
universe, and the vice president OF the
Florida Press Association thinks this is
q fitting time OF the year to express his
, admiration for the boys from the keys
of Key West TO the key hole at Pen
sacoIa and from the gateway at Jack
sonville to the smoke house at Tampa.
God bless the boys OF the press IN
Florida who have probably accomplish
ed more with the least materials than
any other bunch of pencil pushers IN
the United States When paper was
scarce we made papyrus from the pine
bark and when food was scarce we ate
sweet potatoes and gophers ana When
materials were scarce we used SHIRT
tail of type and a Washington hand
press and when news was scarce we
manufactured news and when 1nspIFa-
tiOn-but there is plenty of materials
in Florida for everything.
At any rate, whatever It takes to
make a newspaper the press gang of
Florida has it and every one of them
getting on their feet and is able to eat
eggs once a year whether they need
them or not and able to wear SOCKS
whether they need them or not and
Rube Allen of Sarasota has been found
guilty of wearing shirt once, although
part of it was allowed to fiaunt IN the
breeze of editorial oratory.
So we are all proud of the members
of our Fourth Estate and none of us
are the least bit envious Of our big
city brothers for all of us are kin and
probably closer kin than any other
business men in the world. We are
obliged to hang together or hang sep
arately and in the days to come we
will get together on the cost system
and realize something for our work
accomplished for the good of the COM
munity.
Greetings to you, boys Of the Florida
press gang. May all of you be able
to get out another issue this week just
to demonstrate to the world that you
are on the water wagon at the begin
ming of he New Year and we shall all
meet in Fort Myers where the mosqui-
toes sing the lullaby and Nathan Stout
grows stouter-Sanford Herald.
