A NEW DUTY FOR UNCLE SAM.

NEW Duly EOK UNCLE SAM.
There is nothing inherently i'm
moral in a railroad officer owning in
terest in a coal mine, an oil COM
pany, a factory or any other enter
prise which has to do a good deal of
shipping. But it seems that a sort
of artificial morality must be estab-
liShed TO govern the railroad officer
and his investments. Events have
come pretty near indicating that the
temptation TO favor their investments
in the matter of freight is well-nigh
irresistible to a great many such Off
GERS.
IN a report to the senate, the in
terstate commerce commission tells
Cf tavOrs given by the Lake Shore &
Michigan Southern to a coal COM
pany in Illinois, owned by officers of
the Lake Shores parent company.
This was after the government had
passed laws to break up a scandalOus
system of the same sort in Pennsyl-
Vania, after rigid enforcement of the
anti rebating law had become as
much the duty of the government as
arresJing the drunk and disOrderly is
the everyday duty Of the policeman,
after railroads one by one had de-
clarcd that they were infinitely bet
ter eff under the practice of treating
all shippers alike. a person can only
conclude that temptation was too
strong in the case of the New York
:'entrars officers. They dared almost
certain punishment to get a few
thousand dollars of illicit profits.
Supervising the investments of rail-
road officers would be a task the gov
eminent would dislike TO assume. But
perhaps it may have to assure it

ASSOCIATION does not always
make speech great or noteworthy. on
the contrary it is likely to belittle
speech if associated with subjects far
above it. An instance in point is the
attempt of Kerr Hardie 10 make lit

that Born in the ranks of the work

likely fate would have been that of

THE weakness of Mr.. Hardies fling

WHAT A POPULATION OF 1O9, OOO,-
OQO MEANS.

OtV NlI4[ANOs
A census bulletin just issued puts
the population Of the United States at
1O9.OOO,OOO. This is a gain of about
100000 since the last bulletin was
issued four years ago.
One hundred and nine million peO-
pie in the United States! What does
that mean?
1t means, first of all, that the cOun-
try is too big to be run entirely from
Washington; that the necessity of
efficient state and local governments
is greater than it ever was before.
1t means that more attention must
be paid to the problems of the organ
ization of ndustry-particular to
the human interests involved are so
large the old haphaZard methods will
not answer.
1t means great and growing de-
mand for fOodstuffs, hence a main
tenance and, ultimately, an increase
of land values; that we are naturally
becoming less and less of a food-eX-
porting nation; that manufactures
must be relied on to supply the de-
felt in exports due to this cause.
1t means that industries must be
encouraged. enterprise rewarded, if
these millions OF people are to find
the work they need; that manufac-
lures must reach out and find foreign
markets-in South America and else
where-if they are to furnish en-
ployment 10 proper part Of this
great and growing population.
1t means that the population of the
United States, increasing at the pres
ent rate, should soon fill up and de-
lelOp all the waste places Of the con-
tinent; that the era of intensive cul-
tivation and higher efficiency in in
dustry is becoming an economic ne
cessity; that the conservations policy
of the government, wise as it may
! be, is likely soon to feel the strain Of
a great western population.
1t means that big capital and big
| industries are needed TO supply the
demands Of these millions as econOm-
ically and as quickly as possible; and
that we have the greatest domestic
! market in the world, all at the dis
pOsal Of the American producer.
Ii means that we count the greatest
human wealth Of any occidental ma
| ton. following the wise dictum that
1.-The greatest wealth of any nation is
the labor Of its citizens" also that
| this country still remains the land Of
refuge and opportunity for the poor
and oppressed Of all nations.
1t means democracy on trial a
! scale big enough TO stagger the i'm
agination-big enough TO make its
failure world catastrophe, its sue
! cess mans greatest political triumph.
These are a few things. few only,

The extraordinary session Of the
Ohio legislature which convened in
the morning and had finished rs Ia
bors at O'Clock that night, set an eX-
ample for future legislatures To fol-
low. The people are sick of too much
legislation and the quicker legislative
business is finished the better ii
pleaSeS them.
A glance at the statutes in Ohio
will show that there are about $4,000
general laws upon the books. These
laws have divisions and subdivisions
without number, and the amendments
and resolutions are legion. add
ton there are about 90 supreme
court records and dozens of reports
from the nisi prius courts. Every city
has its ordinances and every village
makes its own rules of conduct.
Every man is presumed To know the
law but il takes a corps OF high-class
lawyers nowadays to even make q
guess at it with a fair degree Of &C
curacy 1t is impossible for the aver
age man to understand or even know
of the existence OF many Of the laws
upon the statute books, yet each ses-
sion OF the legislature finds the law
makers busily grinding out more
laws.
1t is about time for someone to call
a halt upon this epidemic of new
laws. The extraordinary session OF
the present week shows that there is
some hope of checking the food OF
statutes in the near future, but II IS
certain that the governor who really
wants TO immortalize himself Will
call a session which will repeal about
four books Of statutes and then 90

Illegal Sunday Grocery 4S
Selling Should Stop.

Z Is It not about time that the police
looked into the matter of
the violation of the law which pro-
afbfts the selling OF groceries on Sun
iay7
! Nearly every fruit stand In the
I city has a grocery end to it. Practi-
cally all OF them sell groceries on
Sunday or at least they are reputed to
be doing so.
The regular grocery stores through
out the city pay a license to sell gro
cerfes SIX days in the week. They can
not do business on Sunday and, so far
rs we have observed, none of them
want to. They should therefore be pro-
tccted from the competition that
arises from the practice that permits
fruit stands to sell groceries on Sun
day.
Along with the illegal Sunday liquor
selling. the police department may very
well concern itself also with the illegal
Sunday grocery selling.
Both are against the law and both

QUIT MEAT WHEN
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take q glass of Salts before breakfast
If your Back hurts or Bladder
In troubling you.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
weIl-known authority. Meat forms uric
acid which excites the kidneys, they
become overworked from the strain,
get sluggish and fail to filter the waste
and poisons from the blood, then we
get sick. Nearly all rheumatism,
headaches, liver trouble, nervousness,
dizziness, sleeplessness and urinary
disorders come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a. dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or If
the urine is cloufy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by sensation of scalding,
stop eating meat and get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy; take a tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast and in
few days your kidneys will act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with Iithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimulate
the kidneys, also to neutralize the acids
in urine so it no longer causes irrita-
ton, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications. (Adv)

Bluff Springs, Fla, April Z, 1914.
Editor Pensacola Journal:
1 notice in the Weekly Journal of
April 3rd a communication from Judge
Century, Fla, upon the all important
subject of taxation.
Their letters express my sentiments
exactly. They touched the key note
to the vital matter that should and
does concern every true citizen of the
county at the present time. This
should be the paramount issue in the
coming campaign. No candidate need
tell us he is a progressive. Most of
our present officers have been very
progressive in depicting the treasury
and contracting debt A fool can
spend money, but it takes a wise man
to make 1t honestly, and no man who
has not the ability to manage his own
affairs successfully is competent to
handle the affairs of the public. There
fore We feel that we have a right to
know the attitude of all candidates
toward such measures as may rela D.
to the offices to which they aspire
at primary elections.
First tell us-(f you are a man.
what you are, and what you stand
for, and stand like a man! But if you
are a public sucker tell us that or take
down your sign.
We believe the present fee and COM
mission system is wrong. We believe
we should have a tax commission, or
equaliZing board to levy a tax by val
uation, so that every person, and every
corporation should pay tax in pro-
portion to. the actual value of his, her
or it's property. AS long as this mat
ter is left with individuals to make
their assessments there will always
be an injustice, and a partial distri-
button of the burdens of our state and
county among it's citizens.
There is too little work done for the
who are elected to office are public
servants and we have a right to de-
mand of them service. Too slow, too

with vim, men with ideas and think
ing faculties of their own. men with

pie at heart, and greater than all

to the boil weeviI districts of the
south by carrying to these regions q
money crop of as great value az cot
of establishing a crop rotation system.
The invention of machinery which
takes the place or hand labor in dig
ging and picking the nuts, has re-
moved the industry from one confined
to small areas, because of labor restric-
tions, to an industry which can be
conducted on as extensive a scale as
potatoes, beans or other crops which
require similar handling. Coincident
with the expansion or the peanut in
dustry through the south, a remark
able extension OF the use of the pea
nut both as a human food and as a
stock food has developed. Single firms
use as many as $50 carloads annually
in the manufacture OF peanut butter
and CONNECTIONS"
The food-consuming world is fast
coming to a realization of the true
food value of peanut butter.
All over the country the demand
exists and is constantly increasing, for
1t is suggested that southern farm
ers go into peanut raising in 1914 on
a good big scale. The tendency of
the price is upward and there should
never be a time when the farmer with
a good crop of clean. sound nuts can
not dispose of them and pocket a nice
profit.
Still another thing that appeals to
the peanut grower is the high food
value of peanut vine hay. which is
equal to alfalfa in richness.
This hay is fed with excellent re-
suits to work horses. milch cows,
swine, etc. As is known, the famous
Smfthfield hams of Virginia are the
result of a part peanut diet.
More southern farmers should grow
peanuts-acres of them. The by
product-peanut> vine hay-will help
solve stock feeding problems. The
markets await the crop and will pay
top prices.
1t will pay this year to devote more
land and more time to peanuts.
