Hard Times At the
Washington Hotels.

There IS at least one class Of people
In one city TO whom the Wilson ad-
rninistration has brought hard times
Those are the hotel people in Wash
ington.
Since time immemoriaI the big profits
reaped by the Washington hotels have
come from the lobby, whose members
at all times fioclzed to the national cap
ital to influence legislation and cor
rupt legislators. The St Louis Post
Dispatch thus describes the painful sit
uation as ii now exists in Washing
ton:
The subjugation OF the lobby is so
complete that Washington hotel pro-
prtetors complain of poor business, said
ex-Gov. Folk while on a visit to ST
Louis This is q sign of temporary
business depression in which the public
will take great satisfa ction. The loss
70 the hotel keepers from the rout of
the tnsidious lobby which used to lodge
itself In costly suites and spend mo-
ney iavlshly in the cafes is the peo-
pies gain.
If the lobby representatives are no
longer in evidence in the hotel corri-
doris and are PACED" in vain in the
palm room. they must indeed, have
vanished. The average citizens New
Year wish Tor Washington hotel keep
ers is that they may have much pros
perity in the future, but that the dis
appearance of one important source of
prosperity in the past may be perma-
nent
The example at Washington under
President Wilson's administration is
one that may well be followed by state
administrations everywhere. The lob
by and the lobbyist have no place in
an honest government.

MOVEMENT IS A
POPULAR ONE
ANNUAL CENSUS WHICH HAS
JUST BEEN TAKEN SHOWS Ex-
TENT TO WHICH SAME HAS
SPREAD IN LATE YEARS.
81 ASSOCIATED PRESS.

New York Jan. 5.-The business OF
play is DOW fairly Well established in
several hundred cities Of the United
States and Canada and is carried on at
an expenditure OF millions of dollars.
This extent Of the movement to pro-
vide Fairgrounds and leaders to make
play and recreation wholesome and
efficient is revealed in the annual cen,
sus just taken by the Playground and
Recreation Association Of America
whose report was made public today
Every community OF over 5. 900 inhabi-
tants in this country and Canada was
reached by letter and over thousand
cities responded with specific reports
on what is or is not being done to aid
children ana adults in their play ana
recreation.
Six hundred and forty-two cities re-
ported themselves active in the play
ground movement and many others
SAID they were alive to needs of this
sort and were working to establish
play centers. One of the most salts
fac tory phases Of the report is the
showing Of growth of municipal sup
port. Less than ever is Left to private
for in III cities the SUP
port IS now entirely municipal. There
are 10 cities in which the support is
funds and 10 in which the work is
supported wholly by private benefac-
tors.
The census is for the year ending
November !, 1913. and shows a total
expenditure Of S5,7COOO0 in the et5
cities where Playground and recrea+ion
work IS under paid supervision This
is gain Of over S1.500 600 as COMPARED
with the year 1912. In sight for f,t7,re

Nothing that is worth doing Is easy
1t Is not easy TO build a house. or to
establish an industry. or to found a
city. But II is possible TO do all these
things, with work.
Pensacola is facing a new era today.
The year just past has been one of
city has passed. with other sections OF
the country, through a number OF
crises.
But the wear is past. The year that
is before us may be productive Of much
good, and the results attained may be
wonderful and far reaching, II every
body works together for the common
good.
Every BIT OF success that comes to
one person In Pensacola helps another
person. Man cannot live to himself
It Is Just as impossible as for the sun
TO shine without others feeling the re-
f7ected brightness.
We can make this year in Pensaco-
las history a wonderful year. a good
year and q worth while year. but to do
this. we must all work together for the
common good.
The conditions that have made the
past year a hard one in many ways
are changed to a greater or less degree
all over the country.
The new tariff law and the currency
law. Just passed. will DO much toward
settling conditions that have been
somewhat turbulent. Locally. the out
look Is Frightening The naval stores
business. which was threatened disas-
rously early in the year 1913. is again
assuming q normal tone.
In spite Of business depression every
where. the city has enjoyed q continu-
Gus building campaign.
The magnificent new depot, the fine
hotel. and the attention that has been
directed to Pensacola as a harbor. and
70 the Pensacola navy yard. has done
much to advertise Pensacola to the
world
Pensacola has wonderful natural ad-
vantages.
This Is SO true as 20 nave become
axiomatIc
Pensacola has men and plenty OF !
them to embrace these ADVANTAGES. Let |
us all do what we can, even II it is but |
little. to advance Pensacola's interests |
during the year that IS now ours.
