EQUAL SUFFRAGE:
EVOLUTIONARY PROGRESS
OF DEMOCRACY

Edior Pensacola Journal:
Few people realize that the present
political rights, which we enjoy have
been acquired through a slow and
painful process Of evolution. Among
the ancients the Common people
had absolutely no rights whatever.
Despots and tyrants ruled with an
iron hand, woman was considered as
mere slave.
The ancients practised polygamy
and nothing like family ties existed
and the downfall Of the ancient ma
tions is generally attributed to the
moral corruptness caused by the dis
regard for women. which was the So
cial order of the day.
1t remained for the Teutonic races,
which include the present day Anglo
Saxon, German, Scandinavian and
their American descendants, to e1e-
vate woman to her proper place in
society-the equal of mantle result
is that these races are today the
rulers Of the world-the foremost in
civilization.
Even among our fierce and savage
ancestors, the right of women was
recognized: the practice of selling
girls in marriage never prevailed, but
on the contrary they exercised con-

HON. w. 3. LAMAR WRITES ON
PRESIDENT WOODROW WILSON

Washington, D. c., March 80, 1914.
Editor Pensacola Journal.
l will devote this letter to President
Wilson. My next letter will be about
Secretary of State Bryan.
President Wilson has recommended
to congress, that it repeal the exemp-
ton from tolls, in favor of American
coastwise ships, passing through the
Panama canal.
The president, in person, read his
message, making such recommends
ton. to the congress. The vote on
sentatives will take place Wednesday,
next, probably. i think that body will
support the president, and the senate
also. He placed his recommended
ton on two grounds.
First; such exemption was a bad
economic policy.
Second; it violated the United
States treaty with Great Britain.
The first ground and his objection.
really means that such exemption of
tolls is a subsidy to the ship building
trust. send you some editorials from
intelligent readers will want to know
the facts; want to know the truth.
Members of congress are dividing
on this question of repeal and they
can differ with equal honesty.
Were I in congress / would vote
with President Wilson.
I think he is correct. The presi-
dent is q busy man. He is terribly
hard worked man.
I was an ardent supporter OF Presi-
dent Wilson q year before he was
nominated. My admiration for him
increases each day. Yet, have only
seen him a moment, to speak to him,
in the year that / have been here.
He has not much handshaking time.
Doubtless he loses something, politi
cally. in this respect. SO far as it con-
Germs himself.
But he has great and absorbing pub
lie uestions on his hands. He wants
to enact laws that will benefit for
ever the American people. He can't
give his time to mere personal saluta-
tons. That time belongs to the pub
lie. to the American people.
I have been in public life a long
lie men. / am no hero" worshipper.
And yet President Wilson has for
me a wonderful attraction. almost a
fascination. He is highly intellectual.
He has great will power. He is a man
of small monetary means. He is not
connected through friends, relatives or
cabinet officers, with the large none
tary interests Of the country. He has
nothing to swerve or distract his in
terest from the general public inter-
ests.
The president is for a government,
"of, for, and by the people
l say in sincerity to the people L
once had the honor to represent in
congress, that you have an official in
President Wilson that you can we'll
honor applaud and Sustain.

Newspapers for Study

The study of newspapers in the pub

some study of the newspapers
should be made in the public schools.

Now is the Time to Get Rid Of Those
Ugly Spots.

There's no longer the slightest need
of feeling ashamed of your freckles,

Simply get an ounce OF othine-

Trial Trip Over the Various Lines

Oskaloosa's new street car was trieC

ride over the lines.
The occasion was an opportunity
for the inspection of the new type
car that is to replace the old cars OH
the Oskaloosa lines and il was found
to be all that could be desired along
the lines OF comfort and convenience.
Entrance and exit from the car are
from the same end and passengers
may neither leave nor enter until the
door automatically operated by means
of compressed air, controlled by the
motorman, is opened. There is an
emergency exit at the rear end of the
car. but this Is used only in case of
accident or necessity.

ed with enamel ware handles. The
wiring of the car, while most Compli-
Gated and intricate, is all concealed
and protected the conduits. The cars
are metropolitan in every way and
none better can be found In any city.
They are better and more up-to-date
than many of the larger, longer and
heavier cars operated in the larger
centers of population and the motors
are geared to speed of 50 miles per
hour The bodies are of steel, the
windows grated, to prevent accident;
the upholstering of woven cane, clean
and sanitary and the floors are foot
sure" Those privileged to ride on
the initial trip of the car were highly
pleased with the new cars and every
one felt like shouting. "Hurrah for
