What an odd genius was Sir Humphrey
Davy. Always too much In hurry to go
any place or to do anything, or TO ever
keep himself presentable. He gave his
wife al kinds of trouble. and embarrass-
ment and one of her chief causes for com
plant was his slove!ly condition.
But Sir Humphrey was too much of a
philosopher and a cynic to have hoped for
any very great happiness with a woman
who was in every way fitted to live with
such an eccentric fellow, and they would
be very hard to find, His marriage was
most unsatisfactory to both parties con-
Cerned but 1t was no doubt due to his
own narrow views of life. and his unwl-
lingness TO forbear anything In anyone
who was not fully in sympathy with him.
When Sir Humphrey married the widow
Apreece he was no doubt sincere in his
belief that he had found true help
mate. This is shown in the letter he
wrote to his mother just shortly before
the marriage: Il am the happiest of men
in the hope Of a union with woman
equally distinguished for virtues talents
and accomplishments ! believe I should
never have married but for this charming
WOlHdn whose views ana whose tastes
coincide with my own. and who is emil
nently qualified TO promote my best ef-
forts and objects in life. To his brother
he wrote in a similar vein.
BY way of a play of the name of the
widow who became Mrs. Davy, Marie
Edgeworth wrote the following:
Too many men have often seen
Their talents underrated:

Is Opposing PinchOt and
PenrOse for a Place in
the Senate
WILL HAVE BACKING
OF THE PRESIDENT
His Friends Claim That He Has a
Fine Chance Because of the
Split Between Republicans
and Progressives
RY G. E. STEWART.

Washington, February 9-(Special)
Since the announcement of A. Mitchell
Palmer that he will become a candidate
for the United States Senate in Pennsyl-
vania against Boise Penrose and Clifford
Pinchot the eyes of political Washington
and perhaps of the nation are turned on
the keystone state. For interest this
struggle for the senatorship in Penn
sylvania will be second only to the spec
tacular if onesded fight in Alabama.
Pennsylvania, roek-rbbed, boss
ridden republican stronghold has for
years made vain attempts to strike of
the shackles of the bosses. The elector-
ate of that state have become so accus-
toned to "cut and dried" politics that
it is hard for them to realize that the
remedy lies in their own hands. In this
respect the democrats, up to a few years
ago, in no manner differed from the re-
publicans Col. James M Guffey was
just as despotic a boss as was ever Pen
rose or Matt Quay, although his follow
ing was only a small and insignificant
minority. 1t used to be the regular occu-
patton ar national democratic conventions
of Col. William j. Bryan. just as soon
as the committee on credentials were
fully organized, to grab Colonel Guffey
by the brow of the pantaloons and the
nap of the neck and throw him out of
the convention. Until this was done the
free and untrammeled expression of the
people was impossible.
Overthrow of Guffey

PENNSYLVANIA from Guffey and alone and

delegation for Woodrow Wilson at Balti-
more although Palmer himself had
strong leanings for Underwood. Condi-
tions in his state We're such that he
could not wrest the power from Guffey
and deliver the delegation to Underwood,
but he could to Wilson, and he did.
In his fight in Pennsylvania Palmer
will have the support of the administra-
ton. President Wilson will do all in his
power to aid him, and Oscar Underwood
will also rally to the support of his col
league on the ways and means commit
tee. The tariff, of course. will be the
issue. To the surprise of the voters of
Pennsylvania the tariff law of the al
ministration has not brought upon them
the disaster the spectre of which has
been held before their eyes for gener-
ations by the republican bosses. A state
of large manufacturing and mining in
dustry, Pennsylvania has always felt
herself the peculiar target of tariff re-
formers, and has held firmly to the con-
viction tina TIA reduction in the high pro-
tective tariff was inimcal to her inter
ests.
When the democrats passed the I'm
derwood bill the people of Pennsylvania
commercially took to the storm cellars
and resignedlY waited for the disaster.

mates as "squatter was born in Penn

The fact that Roosevelt carried the state
in the last national election has encour-
aged Pinchot, one Of Roosevelts chief
and most rabid lieutenants to enter the
senatorial contest. He will have the
backing of the ex-President, who will
stump the state in the interest of the
king pin of conservationists. But Pin

Pennsylvania is a debatable state-but
purely because of the split in the repub-
lican ranks. II is claimed by all three
parties in this contest for seat in the
Senate, and the campaign will challenge
the attention of the entire country. Pal
mer a young. clean, capable democrat
with good record behind him and the
power of the administration also at his

in this race, and it is believed among
the wise ones has a fine chance to win.
If so he will be the first democrat to sit
in the federal Senate from Pennsylvania

II the average German is as patri
otto, or as anxious to get to the front
as was the second officer aboard the
German steamship Nogesen, there is
little wonder at the doggedness of the
army of the kaiser. The young man
came direct from Hamburg on the
steamer which is now at anchor III the

and since the vessel discharged neT

them charged with larceny, while the
fourth, who would also have been

charged with carrying concealed
weapons. They are all from Chicago,
they claimed at first, although after
ward one of them said they were from
Ohio. They gave their names as Har-
old Spots. James Macdonald, Ralph
Mavia and Ramon Spots. The first
named is under charges of carrying
concealed weapons.
A couple of days ago much trouble
was experienced by railroad men i'm
mediately north of Pensacola, by the
presence OF hoboes on the cars. On
this day, train was searched. and
at Olive about a dozen were put off

the four were chased out of an orange
grove at the Jackson place, at Con

of heavily laden trees, fairly
covered with the golden fruit, and
could not resist the temptation to help
themselves. All threats had no effect.

Olive by Deputies Green and Byrd,

MEAT CAUSE OF

If you must have your meat every

salts occasionally, says noted au-
thority who tells us that meat forms
uric acid which almost paralyzes the
kidneys in their efforts to expel it
from the blood. They become sluggish

dull misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache.

Is coated and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The urine
gets cloudy full of sediment, the

obliging you to seek relief two or three

to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urtnous waste get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any pharm-
acy here; take a tablespoonful In
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then

TO Have a Postmaster

ecnveys the information that Repre-

decided to recommend a postmaster
for Pensacola to succeed the Maryland
insurance company which has mad
charge of the office for now more than
three months.
Mr.. Ben s. Hancock, the well-known
travelling salesman, is the fortunate
winner of the prize and to him The
Journal extends it's sincere congratu-
1ations. The Journal was not one Of
Mr.. Hancock's supporters, but 1t recog-
nizes h4m as competent man and a
good citizen and he will have this
papers good will and cooperation
through his entire term of office Mr..
Hancock conducted a clean contest and
ne will make, we have no doubt, an
efficient postmaster.
To the candidates who lost, The
Journal extends Its condolences. No
one Of them has anything Of which
TO be ashamed So far as the candi-
dates and their supporters are con-
cerned, the contest has been conducted
on high plane. 1t was a contest
between democrats and gentlemen who
can sti1I-as honorable foemen-have
each others respect and each can have
his own self-respect.
If Representative Wilson does not
now change his mind before the APP
pointment is certified to the senate

A 450- Mile Ship Canal
Through Canada.

While the people Of this country are
patting themselves on the back in con-
nection with the completion of the
! great waterway to the commerce OF
. the world. the Canadian government
is considering a project fully as i'm
portant TO Canada as the Panama ca
nal Is to this country.
It is proposed to construct a ship
canal connecting the St. Lawrence river
with the upper great lakes, running
to the north of Lakes Ontario and
Erie and connecting with the upper end
of Lake Huron at a point in Georgian
bay. The completion of this gigantic
project will mean that ocean steam
ships may load at ports on the upper
great lakes for any port of the world
and II would in a measure, do away
with a great deal of the traffic that
now flows down the lakes to Buffalo
carrying grain destined for the Allan
tic seaboard
It has long been the ambition Of
England to have a direct route from
the great lakes to British ports and,
while surveys for the gigantic water
way have just been completed, the
project has been under consideration
for many years. 1t is estimated that
the total cost OF the canal will be
812O. 200, 600. and the work will be UNI
dertaken as soon as the Canadian gov
eminent is in position to guarantee
payment of the probable cost.
The canal will be about $50 miles in
length, the longest ship canal in the
world. It will leave the st. Lawrence
about twelve miles below Montreal
follow the Black and Ottawa rivers
past the city Of Ottawa and reach the
watershed by the Mattawa river and
lakes Talon, Turtle and Trout. The
route then psses through Lake Nipis-
sing and the French river to Georgian
bay Along the whole route there will
be but forty miles of excavation, al
though all of the rivers will have to
be dredged to sufficient depth.
The construction of this canal will
seriously affect the business OF the
New York which. for years, has been
an important factor in the grain car
rying trade from the far west to the
Atlantic seaboard. This canal is being
greatly enlarged at the present time,
probably with a view to forestalllng
loss of business through the construc-
ton of the Canadian waterway.
