But suppose it was only half

half of that vast sum to divide
among the rs, 900, 900 drinkers
of our country. That would
mean $448. 90 each to spend on
home necessities, such as new
homes and furniture; more food,
clothing and fuel; more educa-
ton for children and vacation
for families; more bank deposits
and church offerings. Now
what do you think that would
amount to in new institutions?
Let us consider it.

SHOULD REMOVE NAMES
OF THE ILLEGAL VOTERS

Editor Pensacola Journal.
Thursdays Journal states "City
Attorney Jones came forward with a
requested opinion in which he held
that those who were QUALIFIED to
vote in the last general city election
would be legally qualified to vote in
the recall election"
AS the registration books contain
many hundreds of names of persons
who were Not Qualified" to vote in
the last general city election, it fol-
lows that those persons are not quail
fed to vote in the recall election, and
their names should be removed from
the registration books at once.
If it is claimed, as a reason for their
retention, that those unqualified per-
sons did actually vote in the last cleo
tfon Of commissioners, 1t follows that
the commissioners NEVER HAVE
BEEN. LEGALLY elected, and that
their election is null and void, to-
gether with every ordinance they have
passed.

EMILIA A REGULAR
TRADER AT PENSACOLA

HAOEH a f6NSASOLA
Many people who follow the work
In the bay for living will be inter
ested in the above, as the steamer
spoken Of in the cablegra1n from Oran
is none other than the Emilia, OF the
Austro-American line, a ship of the
Teresa and Ida pattern, and about the
same size as the two vessels named I.
The Ida was captured at Montreal a
few days ago and is now held as a
prize Of war in that port. The Te-
resa Is bottled up at New Orleans,
waiting a favorable chance to go to
sea, and the probabilities are, like the
predicament OF the Austrian steamer
Lucia in this port, that the Teresa
will remain a long time at the Cres-
cent City.
The Emilia was here several weeks
ago, and at the time Of capture IS
said to have had cargo from Pensa-
cola aboard.
Upon occasion of the Emilia's trip
here last. the steamer dropped anchor
in the stream, loaded a considerable
quantity Of timber and lumber and
then steamed up to the docks, where
additional cargo was placed aboard
Several merchants of this place ship

trian steamer Emilia upon the oc-
casion of her last trip to this port.

on the Atlantic coast, to be later sent
here.
Until recently it was stated that
the arInored cruiser North Carolina
would be sent here, and orders for
that vessel to prepare for assignment
here had been issued but were re-
called. Now the Maine is the ship
decided upon, and in speaking of the
return of the Maine from European
cruise, the Herald of Tuesday con-
tains the following from Annapolis:

received by wireless at the Naval
Academy today that the battleships

the place of the Mississippi, sold to

believed that she will start for An

factions and has succeeded in reach
ing satisfactory agreements with all
leaders excepting Villa If Villa will
not join in the effort to reach basis
for permanent peace the government,

Possibly the blood lust Of the Mex
leans has been satiated by this time
and If SO the suppression Of Villa
will follow promptly. There can be
no question that a large majority of
Mexican citizens would be glad to see
a return to peace, and under existing

Villa can organize a revolution Of

AS a press agent woman suffrage is
unequalled. Golfers says: Woman
Suffrage is the biggest press agent there
is" said the real estate man from the
West. It puts towns on the
map. Whenever a woman's
convention is held in a town, nova
days, the world learns to know about
the town as 1t never did before.
And more than one town in
California has reported it's population
just doubled once the women were en-
franchised. How came it? Simply be-
cause the suffrage press bureaus all
over the country got busy. Real es-
tate agents and railroads have spent
hundreds OF thousands Of dollars
to advertise the climatic,
scenic and commercial values Of Sc
attic. but when the women by their
votes recalled the mayor Of that city,
the name Of Seattle rang all the way
round the earth, and they gave it more
publicity than any amount Of paid ad-
vertising could have done. If you
want to put your unheard-of hamlet
on the map, just you negotiate with the
suffragtst. They Will fix you all right.

monia to moisten the powder is then
sprinkled over it.
This evaporates very rapidly, leav-
ing a new substance iodine nitrate
which will explode or detonate at the
slightest touch. Even a rat running
across the floor will set up series of
tiny explosions.
The unsuspecting burglar, though
he tread as lightly as he can in the
softest of felt slippers, will think he
is walking over punches of Chinese
crackers, and will arouse the entire
household.

he had fallen overheard.
Later the captain of the ship added
to the mystery by saying Clarke had
left the boat and had not been drown
