1t now appears that the all-impor-
tant weather man is going to make
good on his promise Of fine weather
for opening day for the afternoon
Of Tuesday, April IA. when the first
game Of the Southern League base
ball season is to be played at Ponce
DeLeon Park between the Nashville
Volunteers and the Atlanta Crackers.
Now, it's UP to Atlanta.
Alanta's reputation is at stake
Atlantis reputation as the Best
Baseball Town in the South.
Last year, on an opening day when
it rained and blew icy blasts and
sleeted, Bobby" Baugh, president of
The Birmingham ball club. came over
to Auantas opening day game and
that morning he didn't do a thing but
rub it in to Major Galway, presi-
dent of the Atlanta ball CLUB.
Something for Mr.. 5augh,
I'VE have 5000 and more at our
opening. he said You've got fine
dav to beat that
And 1t did look pretty sad sleeting
and raining and all that Major Cal
Iaway admits it now But at that
time his back was UP, something like
that of a Kilkenny cat And he said
to Mr.. Baugh. Just before going out
to the ball park.
"Well, YOU lust wait and see
And along about the fifth innins,
what do you suppose Mr.. Baush no
ticed?
A long. Haunting banner, got up IN
verv loud taste, Mr. Baugh eonsid-
cred. The banner read
"At the game, 5000. Birminghams
record. 5000"
A Wiser Man.
Wherefore Mr.. Baugh reflected that
YOU couldn't always tell about At
lanta and returned to Birmingham

Since the capture of Vera Cruz by our
battleships the question has been raised
by many people whether the President Of
the United States has the right to declare
war. President Wilson has backed up
Admiral Mayo in his demand for redress
for the insult offered the flag; he has dis
patched the Atlantic feet to Mexican
waters and sent an ultimatum to Huerta
which is q tantamount to declaration of
war. But he has not declared war on
Mexico.
That right belongs to Congress and Con.
gress alone, for on this point the Consti-
tuition says: "Tbe Congress shall have the
the power: To declare war, grant letters
of marque and reprisal, and make rules
concerning captures on land and sea; to
raise and support armies; but no appro-
priation of money to that use shall be for
q longer term than two years; to provide
and maintain navy, etc."
While President Wilson or any other
chief executive can not declare war, and
though he called Congress in joint session
10 request it to pledge its support, his Wig
orous action in the Tampico affair shows
that if he can not declare war be can ct
least precipitate it. Then it rests with
Congress whether be shall be voted suf6-
Gent money to enable him to conduct the
var successfully, and Congress never has
md never viii fail 10 do it.

1t is by no means certain that the
tender of their good offices by Bra
I'll, Argentine and Chill will have
the result of composing the differ
ences between the United States and
the Huerta government in Mexico.
Acceptance Of the offer by President
Wilson doubtless proceeded from the
fact that the three South American
countries sided with the United
States in the rufusal to recognize
Huerta and the hope founded upon
this attitude that they will be able to
bring about the elimination of Huer-
ia and thus give some assurance of
of establishing a representative gov
eminent in Mexico.
II Huerta is forced to relinquish
power and retire to private life with
out in any manner debating the
choice of his successor, the United
States would gain all for which it
has been contending. If on the 9TH
er hand, Huerta insists upon a set
Element upon any other basis, moth
of lasting good would be accomplish
ed, and President Wilson would have
to return once more to his policy of
watchful waiting" Popular senti-
ment supported the President
throughout the long months of pa
thence, the people hoping against
hope that the Mexican problem
would be solved without any cost in
blood and treasure to the United
States.
Today a total different situation
confronts the President and the peo-
pie of this country. Already the
navy has suffered the loss of more
lives than it did during the whole of
the war with Spain. Apologies will
not suffice nor a thousand salutes to
the United States flag answer the
purpose. The incident at Tampico
sinks into insignifcance in COMPARE
son with the tragedy at Vera Cruz
a tragedy for which Huerta ought to
be held responsible both personally
and politically.
Washington dispatches Saturday
indicated that Congress was becom.
ing restless and that sentiment was
rapidly crystallizing in favor of ac-
ton to put an end to the Mexican
trouble and that quickly. This SEN
timent reflected popular feeling on
the subject. The American people,
like President Wilson, have been
long suffering and slow to anger,
but their patience was fast becoming
exhausted. They have grown weary |
Of the contumely of the Mexican
dictator, and the fighting at Vera
Cruz served as a brand to the burn.

will be disposed to await the outcome

warfare. But neither Congrass nor

Here Is Good News
For Stomach Victims

Some very remarkable results are
being obtained by treating stomach,
liver and intestinal troubles with pure
vegetable oils, which exert a cleansing,
soothing and purifying action upon the
lower bowels, removing the obstruc-
tions of poisonous feca1 matter and
gases and preventing their absorption
by the blood. This done, the food is
allowed free passage from the stom
ach, fermentation ceases and stomach
troubles quickly disappear.
George H Mayr. for twenty years
leading Chicago druggist, cured himself
and many of his friends of stomach,
liver and intestinal troubles of years
standing by this treatment, and so sue
cessful was the remedy he devised that
it has since been placed in the hands
of druggists all over the country, who
have sold thousands of bottles.
Though absolutely harmless, the eff
feet of the medicine is sufficient to
convince any one of it's remarkable
effectiveness, and within "a hours the
sufferer feels like a new person. Mayl's
Wonderful Stomach Remedy is now
sold here by The Crystal Pharmacy,
and The Balkcom Drug Store. (Adv.)

Money for clothes must be saved to
be able to afford the two new uni
forms year that their husbands must
obtain if they expect to hold their jobs.
Most of these men have given the best
years of their lives to the city's SER
vice. They are not fitted this late in
life to obtain other employment, and
if they were. where would they find
employment these hard times?
When these same men were forced
to lose half time, some few weeks ago,
we were told that these months of
economy were made necessary by the
fact that the city's funds were tied
up in the State bank. When the Amer
lean bank closed it's doors we We're
quickly notified by the papers that
every cent Of the city's money was
secure. Why then these hard times
and scarcity of money IN the city's
funds?
If our city is so small that it can
dispense with thirteen patrolmen at
one stroke, then it certainly does not
need three commissioners to run the
balance. Just think what a number
of fremen and policemen the salary
of two of the commissioners would
pay.
If there ever was a time we need the
protection of these officers it is now.
1t will be too late when life and prop
erty have been sacrificed. 1t is true
that men drawing two hundred dollars
and upward and a few others may
protect their property against fire by
insurance, but there is many a one
that can not afford to do so. When
a human life is taken there is no way
to make up for it. It is too late TO
employ the extra policemen after the
deed is done The only thing is to not
only keep the ones already working,
but as soon as possible have more.
According to our Mayors calcula-
ton, should the budget be passed, there
would be a saving Of S54S. He could
save very near the same figure each
month by dispensing with two of the
commissioners. Hoping to see justice

SHOULD USE THE SPLIT
LOG DRAG ON THE ROADS

| Editor Pensacola Journal:
1t has been said wise men learn by
the experience of others, some learn
only by their own experiences, but
fools never learn
1t seems to me that very much our
road work in this county is run by the
latter class. The newspapers all over
the country have had much to say fav-
oring the split log drag, which has
been instrumental in the making of
good roads lin other places some of
our citizens went to the trouble and
expense of having a demonstration of
its use for the benefit of this county,
but 1t seems all efforts have amounted
to casting pearls before swine" as
far as Escambia county, Florida, is
concerned.
Why should the automobiIist of this
county pay the ridiculously high IL
censes to use the county roads when
they are only paying salaries to men
who proba oily never saw a good road
and never did anything before but raise
cain and taters. The road scraper is
had enough to cut the road up with and
keep it nice and soft in the middle, but
today when / came to q gang of con
Victs (about 4 1-2 miles from town on
the F'lomaton road with a team of
mules hitched to a heavy turn pillow,
like those used for breaking new
ground, and blowing the road to a
depth of s or 10 inches at least, it got
on my nerves to see such road butchery
and it ought to be stopped by the
authorities.
If the county has got to have some
thing for the convicts to do what is
the matter with them building the
road to the Lillians Ferry That would
be of advantage to Pensacola and all
OF It's people, except those composing
some of the real estate concerns who
are fighting this proposition for their
own profit. have often wondered what
some persons wanted to be county
commissioners for as the salary was of
no consequence. but have about de-
cided the name implies, commission
one who gets a commission. I'm now
wondering if it is based on percentage
and if so how large?

a man today with his skin all broken out

smile replaces the droop. What is S. S. S.
that can accomplish such wonderful re
suits? First of all it is a natural medI-
cine. Like milk, eggs and other foods that
can not be initiated, s. s. S. owes it to
Nature for its power TO overcome disease
just as food prevents emaciation. S. S. S.
is not a combination of prescription drugs.
1t is a preparation direct from medicinal
plants that retains all the yirile potency
of what we need, what we must have IN
the blood to counterfeit those destructive
tendencies that assail US throughout life.
If it were not for our natural secretions to
sustain US, aided by such known helps as
S. S. S. there would be small chance Of
any of US surviving childhood.
Get a bottle of S. s. S. today from any
druggist but be careful to avoid the sub,

Unusual Appearance of
Mosquitoes in Pensacola.

AS the result probably of numerous
causes. Pensacola has more mosqui-
toes this year than has been the case
for many years previous.
Pensacola is ordinarily so free from
mosquitoes that no discomfort and
little disease as a result Of the mos
quito Is usually experienced here. For
that reason. probably, the excess of
mosquitoes this year is more noticeable
than the same number of the culex
family would be in almost any other
place.
Where the mosquitoes come from
this year has been a subject upon
which all do not agree. but the fact is
that they are probably the result Of
several different causes.
The distillery nuisance in the west
Of the city has probably been the cause
Of some Of the mosquito breeding in
that section. The thousands of old
TIN cans which lie around the crema-
tory in that section of the city prob
ably also breed many of the little pests.
North OF the city, the naval stores
yards containing hundreds of barrels
OF rosin, with water from the recent
rains standing in the up-turned head
Of every barrel, no doubt breeds a
great many. The several cemeteries
In the city, with flower vases con-
tanning water on many of the graves,
are prolific breeding places. Careless
ness on the part of many residents,
grown Indifferent through long imN1u-
nifty from the pest, has no doubt re-
suited in failure to remove the old tin
cans, crockery. clogged waterspouts,
and other water recepacles where mos
1t may be that standing water in the
drain sewers which, during the long
drouth, were of course not flushed, is
responsible for some Of present excess
of mosquitoes.
But whether any or all or more Of
these things is responsible for the
present unusual and unprecedented
number Of mosquitoes in Pensacola.
the proposition now is to prevent The
breeding of any more of them.
Residents can do this by destroying
the mosquito breeding places about the
homes. The city should bury the cid
tin cans that lie all about the garbage
crsmatory. The city can put oil on
the waters of the bayou where the
distillery is located A number of our
surplus policemen can be, for the
present at least. assigned to the work
Of sanitary patrollmen. These sanitary
ofdcers can enforce the destruction of
mosquito breeding places where the
property owners refuse to do so volur-
tart1y.
While we have little else to do, now
is a good time for Pensacola to clean
up-and the initiative in this cleaning
up crusade should be taken by the
city government itself.
