Edwin Young Clarke To
Speak Here Saturday
(Atlanta Constitution)

Following the remarkable sue
cess of the recent animal industry
convention, held by the Georgia
Chamber of Commerce in Quit
man Edward Young Clarke, who
had charge of the convention un-
der the direction of the state
chamber, has been requested to
speak at number of places, and
has accepted most of the invita-
lions, declining only those which
came at such time as to interfere
with his other work.
At Fitzgerald on July 4 he will
address a mass meeting of citizens
on the subject, "a new Declara-
ton of Independence" which re-
lates to commercial rather than
military supremacy. The day will
be celebrated IN a military way, a
big sham battle being part of the
official program.

address Mr.. Clarke will speak on
July Z to mass meeting of the
Bainbridge board of trade, on July
8 to a mass meeting of the citizens
of Miller county at Colquitt, on

The Senatorial Race As
Our Exchanges See 1t

1t was a bad days business for
the opposition candidates when
they jumped on "Jack'' Slaton on
the idea that she couldn't political
ly fight if he would and wouldn't
if he could. Augusta Chronicle.
Slaton is recognized by all as
the strongest Candidate Madison
Madisonian.
The friends of Governor Slaton
have just cause to feel good over
the present condition of his candl-
dacy for the Senate-Waycross

Boys, yell as loud as you please,

doesn't happen, "Jack" Slaton Will
be the junior Senator. Hes got it
and gone with it.-Dalton Citizen.
AS the Senatorial campaign pro-
crosses it looks more and more
like SIaton victory. Columbus

The indicator is for Governor
Slaton because its editor believes
he is the best man IN the Race for
the short term and we have enjoy

long term of years. Meriwether
indicator,
The combination formed to de-
feat Slaton for the Senate, will
utterly fail of its purpose, because
the people of Georgia believe IN
square deal.-Walton Tribune.
Governor SIaton shows his
friendship for organization labor

away with indiscriminate granting
of injunctions, and again when he
announces his opposition to low

A Merry Christmas to
The Journals Readers.

To each OF its thousands of readers
today The Journal wishes a Merry
Christmas in everything that the word
implies
All of us have much to be happy for
much more perhaps than we some
times realize. We whose good fortune
it is to live in Florida know less of
want and have more of everything that
makes life worth while than almost
any other people in the world. Christ
mas day with us is always a day of
good cheer and of manifold blessings.
we have few of the extremely poor
and few as well of the extremely rich.
our people are composed for the most
part of that great middle class whom
riches do not corrupt nor poverty bear
down.
Add to all of this the delights of life
in this semi -tropic cline of green trees
ndisparkling water, Of blue skies and
warm sunshine. of outdoor living and
pulsing, bounding health, is there any
reason in the world why F1oridians
should be anything but happy at
Christmas time?
To all of its little boy and girl read
ers whose letters to Santa Claus have
been published in the paper, The Jour-
nal wishes very Merry Christmas
and hopes that Santa Claus will bring
them everything they desired. With
all of the children happy, we shall all
be happy and The Journal trusts that
happiness will be the lot Of every
reader Of these lines today.

a CHRISTMAS APPEAL. :
AAAAAAAAAAANAAAS

From the Minnesota penitentiary al
Saltwater comes this verse, the work
Of a convict who is not a skilled writer
| but who has made a stirring appeal
! bringing home what Christmas may
mean to many. The author is H. S.
Med.
(No. 41ssl
I see through the maze of Christmas
joys
The countless thousands of girls and
boys
And poverty-stricken mothers and
wives
Whose hearts are reaking, and whose
lives
Because Of the absence of one held
dear;
And I hear their cries on the Christ
mas air
%, Father in Heaven, does no one
care?"
While men rejoice and are merry to-
day.
And laughter and song are in full
And the bells chime loud from hill and
glen
Their Peace on Earth, Goodwill to
Men,"
I think of the ragged girls and boys
Who never receive nice Christmas
toys;
And from my heart goes up a prayer,
20, Father in Heaven, does no one
careT'
see mother so old and gray
Who has no pleasure this Christmas
day
But weeps and sighs the whole day
long
Because her boy, so big and strong,
Behind the bars must serve his time
While the Christmas bells so mer-
rily chime;
And her head is bowed in mournful
prayer,
80, Father in Heaven, does no one
carer"
Ring on, We bells! Heed not the woes
OF widows and orphans VINO stand
nigh froze
Before the stove that is frosty and
cold
Because of the lack Of little gold,
Or the helping hand OF strong one
To furnish home for the loved ones
dear;
Ring on, We bells! Heed not despair!
80, Father in Heaven, does no one
carer

A Through Pullman
Into Pensacola.

The L. & N. announces that, begin
ming Jan 10, through Pullman will
be operated between st. Louis and
Pensacola. 1t will be pulled on the
train that leaves Pensacola at 1910
noon and arrives in Pensacola at 4:3
p m.
This is good news, and particularly
at this time The service from st.
Louis will not be quite as effective as
a service from Chicago would be, but,
for the present. it will be very ac-
ceptable and will constitute vast inn
provement over the old service.
The Journal has for years been
hammering on this through Pullman
service proposition. The Chamber Of
Commerce has been working on it as
well. Now that the service is to be es-
tablished The Journal congratulates
the L. & N. on its decision and the
people Of Pensacola on their good for
tune in securing the Inauguration Of
this through Pullman service during
the present tourist season.
ne 81 LOUIS WILL dCSOAn~
modate the travel out of Chicago and
Cincinnati, it being necessary only
to walk from one car to the other after
the southbound train reaches Nashville.
The same will be true for the eastern
travel which connects with this train
at Birmingham and Montgomery. AL
together the new service win be OF
great convenience to the travelling
public and of particular value to PEN
sacola.
Now if the tourist committee which
was appointed weeks ago by the
Chamber Of Commerce will wake up
and get out some advertising matter,
a great many tourists ought to be in
duced to visit Pensacola within the
next two months. This advertising
should have been started long ago, but
even now it will help some.
Pensacola is the logical winter re-
sort for the tourist travel from the
great Mississippi Valley region, and
with the proper effort on our own part |
this travel will come here during the
present season.

GAVE CL LOTHES
TO MANY PEOPLE
PROBATION OFFICER PAULsEN
HAS SUPPLIED SCORES WITH
SHOES, CAPS, WEARING APPAR-
Ell, FROM HIS OFFICES.

Shoes, caps, wearing apparel, and a
few furnishings have been distributed
during the past week by the probation
officer, Mr.. Paulsen, to scores of peo-
6ple, and many a child will today wear
new pair of shoes, a new cap, a new
wrap, etc, through the thoughtfulness
of the charitably inclined people Of
the city.
Yesterday, in his off1ces in the county
building. between giving out tickets
for the Doll and Toy distribution, and
the distribution Of wearing apparel,
the probation officer was about as busy
a parsonage as could be found in the
city. He dealt with surprising patience
too, with the scores who crowded In
to the cramped quarters, for with the
many children, and some parents, the
double room which he occupies as an
office was crowded.
This work has been going on for
some days, and the remnants were In
the Office yesterday. Good, warm coats,
skirts, gloves, stockings, caps, wraps,
shirts, Boys trousers, and many other
articles were on hand. But they will
soon be exhausted said the probation
officer, "for the needy people have
found out that the good people Of this
city have not forgotten them and have
provided for their physical comfort
Had the Pensacola people been present
and witnessed some of the appreciation
shown by the recipients, they would
have been well repaid for their con-
sideration."

GAME WARDEN
.TOSHELL WOODS
ANNOUNCED LAST NIGHT THAT
HAD BEEN INFORMED HUNTERS
WERE NOT PROVIDING THEM
SELVES WITH LICENSES.

During the next two weeks or there
about. Game Warden J. r. Davis an
nounced last night that he was going
into the woods and see If he could not
apprehend n16ny hunters who are al
legged to be hunting without first hav-
ing obtained the necessary hunters
license. The game warden said that
the sale of licenses had fallen off con-
sfderably, but the woods were just as
full of hunters now as they ever were,
and It has been reported to him that
men, whose names are not on record
as having taken out the necessary
hunting license, have been daily in the
woods, and he said that he was going
to make it q point to either disprove
this report or else effect the arrests
OF quite a number whose names have
been furnished him. He said he would
spend practically the entire coming
fortnight in the woods to run across
these suspects whom he would not
name last night. Z

A VISITOR WAS
STRUCK BY AUTO
SLIGHT INJURY TO HIP sUs-
TANNED BY ELLA REESE, WHO
GAVE HER HOME AT FLoRALA,
AND WHO LEFT ON THE TRAIN

Alfred Wtcke, driving an auto on
Wright street, ran into and struck a
woman who gave her name as Ella
Reese, and her home at F1orala, yester-
day afternoon. The woman sustained
a slight injury to her hip, but would
not remain in the city for treatment,
boarding the eastbound train and
hurrying home.
It was reported that she had steppe d
deliberately into the street near the
passenger depot, and the auto, which
was going along slowly, struck her
tout a slight blow. Considerable ex-
citement was raised right at the time,
but all quieted down, and no arrests
were made, because the autoist was
not technically to blame.
