open on all subjects. He abhorred
bigotry and intolerance as he did the
devil, and with It all he was strong
in decision of character and lived true
to his ideal that as the editor and
owner of a prominent and influential
daily paper he must swing it always
on the side of right-not mere expe-
dieney-and make it an instrument
for service and constructive work in
every good cause within its range.
Under this inspiration he doubtless
wrought more for Pensacola and
West Florida than any other one man
of his time, and in the things he has
done for the betterment of his home
city and section along moral educa-
tional and material lines he has left
an enduring monument to himself and
noble heritage to his wife and chill
dren.
The people of Pensacola honored
him as their chief citizen and they
knew always where to find him in

complained of Frank Mayes, but he
would have good work or none, and,
while he was patient and forbear-
ing. and made large allowance for
natural limitations and infirmities,
the one who was persistently un-
worthy had to go and he left with
no grudge against the man who
fired him.
He came to Pensacola a raw youth
from the great plains of South Da-
kota, and when he got there and de-
termined to locate permanently he
stripped himself bare of every ham
pering prejudice and became a citi-
zen of Florida in the broadcast,
truest, finest sense Of the word. He
was a Floridian to the very core, and
in contemplating his many sided
character nothing is more impressive
than his splendid loyalty to Florida
and her people, including the old
timers of another generation, his con-
slant and earnest efforts to aid in
the development, of the state, to dis
courage all harsh or invidious criti-
cism and to discover the good in all
