SPLIT LOG DRAG
SHOULD BE USED

Editor Pensacola Journal.
In your issue of Friday. the 18th.
YOU ask why the "Split-Log Drag" is
not used on the West Florida roads.
Though YOU doubtless know the rea-
son. l will tell you what my opinion
is:
First, the drag has no vote and so
far CONTROLS but few; second, but few
people hereabOuts so far have heard of
it or having heard, have given it a
second thought. and few of those who
do give the second thought have any
conception of the advantages of using
it and many think it is greatly over
rated.
The writer &C. this has used the drag
in Massachusetts and is a firm be
lever in it. He made and used one
there showing just what it could do
on some extremely bad road. but l
found il about impossible TO set the
town officers interested. This was
about two years ago and I came here
in the fall and so did not have the OPP
poTtunitN to continue the campaign.
This last winter / offered to build
drag and eive it to Santa Rosa
county: also 60 out and demonstrate
without charge if the county commits
sioners would furnish team and they
declined the offer.
Now going lack to the first reason.
if the drag can be given a few votes
in each of several precincts so that
they may conclude to try the drag.
but unless they are badly scared the
chance then are that they VIII condemn
it unless they have a demonstration,
who fully realizes that the road has
got to be wet when the drag is used.
Then it will do but little if any good
on sand unless there has first been
good coat of clay mixed with the sand
by earting on spreading and narrowing
to thoroughly mix, and then on such
a piece of road the best time to drag
it is a wet time in winter or while
actually raining.
l have not had a chance to go around
the country very much Since coming
to Florida, but from what l have seen
| think in most localities clay can
be found to mix with the sand where
needed and make good roads at
reasonable cost.
II you nave not seen the Country
Gentleman OF May 9TH will YOU kindly
do so and read the first article How
Nine Men BY Team Work Got Good
Roads in New MeXico?" Then after
reading the article get a copy of the
law referred to and publish it in The

LONG CAREER
Of LOUIS BOLEY
OLD CITIZEN WHO WILL BE
BURIED TODAY HAD A LONG
AND INTERESTING HISTORY
CONNECTED WITH PENSACOLA.

Louis Boley, whose death occurred
Wednesday and whose funeral occurs
at the family residence, at Olive at
II o'clock this morning. had a long
and interesting career.
He was born in FCitzlar, HesSen
Cassel, Germany, 81 years ago and

Long before the railroad was built,
Young BoIey was the owner and driver
of a stage between Pensacola and
Mobile. and he carried large amounts
Of money for the I.eBarOn bank. The
family still possesses the leather
pouch in which he carried the money
under his vest. This business as a
stage line owner formed the begin
ming IF the large fortune which he
afterwards accumulated.
When the civil war broke he vas
postmaster at Warrington and held
that position al the time the feder3lS
evacuated the navy yard.
His fathers name was Iusman Be-

Senator Fletcher and
The Tolls Question.

The Ocala Banner which is sup
porting Senator Fletcher for re-eIec-
ton, says:
Having had the courage Of his con-
v1etions TO vote for the retention OF
Senator Lorimer, although he knew
that to do so would be used as a Cud-
gel against him in his reelection, we
have faith to believe that Senator
Fletcher has too much cOura &c to re
verse himself on the canal tolls mat
ter. and so believing We shall register
our vote for him.
In this connection, will the Banner
mind enlightening US as to what Sen
ator Fletchers position on the tolls
matter is?
The Banner is supporting free tolls
and is opposing President Wilson in
his proposition to repeal the free tolls
ship subsidy.
Are we to understand therefore that
the Banner is supporting Senator
Fletcher because it believes that the
senator also will oppose President
Wilson's policy on the tolls question
The questions are asked for infor-
nation and we trust the Banner will
answer them.

A Remarkable Admission
and Defense.

The Ocala Star says that the chief
charge that his opp@ents are making
against Senator Fletcher is that he
voted for Lorimer. The star then
comes to Fletcher's defense as fol-
lows:
Senator Fletcher has never denied
that LOrimer was elected b. corrupt
methods. He has said there was no
doubt of the corruption. but that he
had studied the evidence closely and
could find nothing to connect LOr-
inner personally with the corruption.
and so voted as he did
This is a most remarkable admis-
sion and defense. ACCORDING to that
line of reasoning. it was all right for
Lorimer to accept a stolen or pur-
chased seat in the senate so long as he
himself was not implicated in the
theft or purchase. 1t was all right for
the corrupt interests in Illinois to de-
hauCh the legislature and buy or steal
the senatoTship so long as the man
they gave it to was not implicated in
the crime.
The same rule would hardly hold
true with other stolen property Sup
pose that some one should present the
editor of the Star with a gift in the
form of a watch: After carrying the
watch for a few months. it develops
that the watch was stolen. Will Edi-
tor Benjamin contend for a minute
that. because ne was an innocent re
Ceiver OF the stolen watch he ought
TO be permitted to retain it after the
rlghtful owner had proved that it was
stolen?
Lorimer's personal guilt or limo
cence has absolutely nothing to do
with his right to occupy a seat in the
United States senate. Lorimer was
not on trial and he could not be tried
by the senate for any crime. The sem
ate had no power to either try, con-
vict, or punish him.
But Lorimer's right to hold a seat
In the senate was at issue. The fact
IS. and the evidence convinced a ma
Iority Of the senators. that Lorimer
was corruptIy and Illegally elected. on
the showing Of this fact, a majority
of the senate voted that he had no
right to occupy the seat that had been
corruptly presented to him. and the
people Of Illinois were given an op-
portunity to either re-elect him or
some one else in regular and legal
manner.
All that Lorimer had to do after the
senate declared his seat vacant. was
to apply to the people of Illinois for
vindication. They could have elected
him had they desired to do so, just
as they elected the man who succeed
cd him. He is free today to become a
candidate for the senate whenever he
wants TO but il is significant that he
has never attempted to secure vjndi-
cation from the people OF his home
state.
1t is significant also that Of the SEN
ators who voted for Lorimer and who
have came up for reelection since.
only one has been reelected.
The Star says that Fletchers vote
for Lorimer is the only one of the
charges now remaining which the OPP
position can urge against him. This
of course is not true. but were it true
that charge should be sufficient TO
defeat any candidate in a present day
demo cratic state.

VOX POPULI.
ALWAYS KEEP TO
THE RIGHT OF THE ROAD

Editor Pensa cola Journal:
Keep to the right. Why not?-cus =
tom tells you to, and the law justifies
you in so doing, against all Corners
Whether you have a wheel, dray.
buggy or auto; regardless of self. age
or color, the right hand side of the
road only is yours, and when you
leave it the burden of resulting
trouble IS on you.
invariably one of them was on the
wrong side of the street, hence VIC
lating the law regardless Of any
trouble.
In turning corners self convenience
IS too often the rule and you hug the
left curb If turning that way.
Your left is the other fellows right;
he is entitled to it. should have It,
and you have no right to use it even If
he is not then in sight.
In making left hand turns you
should pass over II not to the right Of
the spot that marks the center of the
two streets.
BY so doing and keeping to the right
You not only obey common law, ehmt-
nate the large part OF your share of
any trouble, but you make 1T almost
impossible for true evidence to fas-
ten blame upon you.
Then If you will freely use your
hand to indicate the direction you
want to turn, another great safeguard
against trouble is established
Think how smoothly traffic would
pass along If all would follow these
rules: then watch the busy corners on
PalafoN street and see the difference.
Another long step toward safety
would be for our city authorities to
keep Romano and Intendencia streets
clear of any and all standing obstruc-
tions for fifty feet back from Palafox.
Those streets are narrow for their
traffic and as now used it's only
question Of time when trouble will
result through an individual absorbing
that which belongs to the public.
Then let US keep to the right go
slow. and concede to the other fellow
lust what we would want for our
selves if we were in his place.
