Virginia politics conferred in Mr..
Blair He was Scotsman bred to or
ders in the English Church, and was
but thirty-six when Sir Edmund An
dros was made governor of Virginia.
He had come to the colony in 1886, at
twenty-nine; and in 1890, the year
Mr.. Nicholson became governor, he
had been appointed cornmissary for
Virginia by the Bishop of London.
Virginia was supposed to lie with
in the see of London, and as the
bishops comn1issary there it was Mr..
Blair's duty to inspect, report upon,
and administer discipline in the
church of the colony.
He made it his first task to estab-
lish a college-the assembly, the gov
ernor, and every true friend of Vir-
gina at his back in the enterprise
in order that education might sustain
order and enlightenment.
The King granted a charter and
revenues to the college in 1892; the
merchants of London subscribed right
handsomely; Gov. Nicholson handed
over to it $50 pounds voted to him
by the assembly; and Virginia at last
had the college she had wished and
planned for ever since the days of Sir
George Yeardley. 1t was agreed that
it should be called the College of
William and Mary.
But when Sir Edmund Andres
came, Mr.. Nicholson being sent to ad-
minister the affairs of Maryland, i
was found, after a few years trial,
that he and Mr. Blair could not live
in the same colony.
Mr.. Blair was as hot-tempered as
Sir Edmund, and spoke his mind in
as choleric and unstinted a way. Blu

company having funds to invest in
plant construction, 1915 will be most
favorable year.
Doubtless many will be far-sighted
enough to act accordingly. The public
has no economic reason whatever for
failing to act vigorously in adding to
the public plant-roads, streets, sew
ers, water works, irrigation works,
drainage systems, etc.
Had there been a period of infia-
tion-a great @boom"-prior to last
August, we should not now be urging
investment in more plants-public or
private. But for seven years the
brakes have never been fully off the
wheels of progress. The panic of
1907 cut the air pipe and set the
financial brakes with a shock. Then
came three years of gradual release
and slow acceleration. Hardly had
industrial momentum reached the nor
NAL when the presidential year"
again put the brakes on. The period
of uncertainty as to tariff legislation
had barely ended when the "great
war" began. Also acting as a de-
torrent to progress in certain lines

have been "seven lean years" of hope
from relief from extremely radical
legislation. In another sense those
were "seven fat years. years corpu-
lent with attacks on the rates charg-
ed by railway and public service com
panies.

PERMANENT IMPROVEMENTS
IN ROAD BUILDING

Editor Pensacola Journal:
The question of building roads is
not near as important as the up keep
after the road is built, road is the
overland highway for the public, and
should be so constructed as to be ac-
cessible at all times, for they are the
arteries for trade spreading out for
the body transportation, or centers
to the communities.
The production of the forest, field
or ranch must come in small guam
titles towards the heart of commerce.
So our public roads are as essential
to our prosperity as hearty circu-
lating channel in a physical sense.
We have been building roads, lay
ing out and grading for miles, yet
have failed to make many permanent
improvements, just building a founda-
ton for travel for the moment.
We have attempted to travel
straight courses down many hills, and
our roads in such places are nearly
ridge of dirt with a gulley on one
or both sides.
This could all have been avoided
by better study, and more engineer
ing management. We have seen the
public roads in the hills Of Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey for several
miles up steep hills, yet no washing

OF bitches and gulleys on the sides,
for the roads serpentined up the
mountain, and at every turn a water
way crossed, spreading the water be-
yond and away from the road, and
at each turn a team could stop and
start as it was level or comparative
~ so for short distance.
Of course experience is an expens-
i've teacher, yet are we able to pay
the tuition and experiment further.
Another very important question is
our bridges and waterways. There
are very few crossings or waterways
in Escambia county but what has the
material nearby, that, with the small
outlay for cement, and a practical
man looking after the work with a
crew of three or four men, could
build concrete waterways and creek
bridges.
The initial cost would not exceed
but very little over twice the cost of
wooden affair, and be forever
through with, and at the same time
not dangerous to the public in the
way of horse breaking its leg or
falling through or bxeaking buggy
and machine springs, etc. We do not
know of waterway or bridge in the
county but what there is a jump off
where the dirt and timber meet. l

sons swing upon her gallows hill for
commerce with the devil. Some really
believed them witches; some schemed
to send their personal enemies to the
gallows with false charge.
Gov. Phips was induced to appoint
special courts for the trial of the
witches; and long year went by
before mems better thoughts, natural
pity, and awakened consciences called
a halt upon the murderous frenzy,
and Salem, with all the province, tried
to forget what had been done to the
innocent.
In that year, 1892, the King ap-
pointed Benjamin Fletcher to be gov
ernor of New York, and of Pennsyl-
vania as well, which he was instruct
ed to bring within his jurisdiction,
for the consolidation of government;
and Sir Lionel Copley, appointed in
1891, became royal governor of Mary
land.
Sir Edmund Andres, too, was that
year once more commissioned gov
ernor, this time of Virginia, and stay
ed there full five years, quieter il
not wiser man than in the days of
King James. The Virginians did not
wholly dislike Shin, taking him for
what he was, rough soldier, more
efficient than patient, who meant to
do his duty according to his instruc-
tions, but did not know how to do it
in the wise way for his own interests
and the general peace.
He honestly devoted himeslf to the
welfare of the colony, encouraged the
growth of cotton in order that cloth
might be made, improved the methods
of administration, and sought in more
than one way to better the sources OF
wealth. But the Virginians liked as
little as the other colonists did his
zeal in the enforcement of the acts
of trade; and his arbitrary temper
ruined him at last by bringing him
into collision with James Blair.

orship of Virginia had been Francis

Sir William Phips was only A
rough, pushing, self-made sailor, one
Of the youngest of the twenty-one
sons of an humble gunsmith in a lit
tie settlement close by the mouth of
the far-away Kennebec.
He had been ships carpenter, a
common seaman, ships captain
always sanguine, always adventurous,
always on the make, risking every
thing to win his way, and as cheer
full and hearty and full of confident
plans when he had lost as when he
had won. At last he had actually
made the fortune he was in quest of,
by finding and recovering the treas
ure of a sunken Spanish galleon in
the southern seas.
He had been much in England, and
had won favor in the court and out
of it by his bluff and honest energy
and unfailing goodwill, and his
breezy manners, brought fresh from
the salt seas.
King James had knighted him Sir
William for the Spanish treasure he
brought into England, and had made
him high sheriff of New England
when Sir Edmund Andres was gov
ernor there. In the year 1890, the
year before the new charter was
signed, he had led an expedition into
the north and taken Acadia from the
French, with much excellent private
plumber, and then had failed in an
expedition against Quebec.
He was no statesman, and it was
not pleasant for any man to be the
first governor under the new charter;
but bluff Sir William, known to every
man in Boston, was better than a
stranger might have been.
The new Kings coming to the
throne in England had brought war
in its train, a long war with the
French, as every one had foreseen it
must-"King Williams War;" they
called it in the colonies; and war with
the French meant fear and massacre
on the northern borders, where the
French were but too apt at stirring
the Indians to their frece attacks
even in time of peace.
1t was this war Jacob Leisler had
heard would surely bring French
ships into New York and Roman
Catholic government It gave Sir
William Phips leave to make his ex-
petitions against the north, for ad-
venture and profit, instead.
In 1892 a distemper showed itself
at Salem, in Massachusetts,, which
seemed for a little blacker than wal
itself-an onninous distemper of the
mind. 1t was the year of frenzy

Traffic Ordinance
Should Be Enforced.

The auto enthusiasts OF Pensacola
should take warning from the two
serious accidents which have occurred
in Pensacola in the last fortnight, and
run their cars with greater discre-
ton.
AS it seems to be matter inpossi-
Bile to regulate by appeals to reason,
would it not be well for the city COM
missioners to see that the traffic laws,
with regard to automobiles, are en-
forced?
In the larger cities on the principal
streets the automobiles arp not per-
mitted to go at the speed that i al
lowed in Pensacola.
In any large city the automobile
traffic on business thoroughfares is
at a rate Of speed that makes it far
less dangerous to pedestrian or to
other vehicles than it is in Pensacola
There is no reason why there should
be any less care taken in driving uT
and down Palafox street, than in driv-
ing up and down any other city
street. It is time that those who
drive cars gave more attention to the
speed at which the cars are driven
The traffic regulations should be en-
forced, and they should be EN-
FORCED ALL THE TIME. No
AFTER an accident but BEFORE al
accident, occurs.
