Candidacy of Cats

There seems to be disposition
over the state to take the gubernatu-
raj canvass of Sidney Cats with a
spirit of levity, and to boost his can
didacy by means of a great deal of
free publicity. The effect of this has
already commenced to be felt; and
it behcoves those who have the good
of the state at heart to cease the
faulty now being followed regarding
this man who uses speech to pander
to the passions of ill-advised men
and stand face to face before the
actual conditions.
For the past several months the
press has teemed with jokes about
Catts-but the joking era should now
be finished. Cats has obtained fol-
lowing; how large that following may
be is an unknown quantity-but he
has assuredly made some supporters
for himself and his platform" dur
ing the time he has spent in mean
dering over the state. It is evident
that he tempers his winds to the
lambs that would not. be shorn-foi
in recent speech he intensely in.

Good Men Are Greatest
Men of the World.

1t is regrettable fact that not all
the so-called able men are what the
best people call good men. A man
may acquire what the world calls
fame and yet be living the wrong
sort of life and welding the wrong
sort of influence.
This ought not to be the case, but
it is too often the case. Ability does
always mean right-thinking. At least
the mind of man is one thing and
the heart of man is quite another
thing.
It is hard for man to be what he
ought to be, even though he is ever
SO able in mind and body, unless his
every inclination is toward those
things that are right and eternal.
That was a remarkable utterance
| which the late Senator Joseph F.
Johnston of Alabama delivered be-
fore the United States senate few
years ago. The occasion was the
memorial session in honor of the late
Senator e. w. Pettus of Alabama.
The words of Senator Johnston, be-
sides being high tribute to Senator
Pettus, are sufficient to have made
him great man, even if he had never
done or said more. Addressing the
senate he said among other things:
"Mr. President, a man who nurses
an injury and prides himself on re-
lentlessly pursuing an enemy may b.
an able man, but he can never b.
either great or a good man. W.
may not be able to rise to the sublime
height of loving our enemies; thes,
J. mountain tops of Christian character
giving glimpses of the radiance O
the coming world, may be too loft.
for our attainment; we may be un
able to blot out the memory of
wrong committed against us by thos
who knew it to be without excuse o
justification; but man who steel
; himself against forgiveness and goe
through life with resentment in hi
heart will never command the admi
ration Of his people or deserve thei
leadership. How much nobler it is
have it recorded Of q man that h
] lived his friends and conquered hi
enemies by the generosity Of his dif
position, as can be said Of this grea
man."

the counties composing the circuit.
Mr.. Anderson represented Escambia
county in the late session of the Flor
ida legislature and made a splendid
record in that body. He is noted,
if we remember correctly, of sticking
to his promises to his constituency.
This is, of course, unusual, and oc-
casioned comment. What is the use
of a voter after he has voted, being
the orthodox way. Consequently Mr..
Anderson Immediately leaped into
fame for the innovation, while the old
political saws shook their heads,
looked wise and predicted his early
elimination from the political game.
The people, however, smiled, patted
Bob on the back, and said go to it,
old boy, if it takes the hair Off
there is any fault it is ours. And it
CHANGED that Bob took the hair Off
in spots. Mr.. Anderson, we are told,
is splendidly equipped for the posi-
ton to which he aspires, and goes to
his work with vim. He has a repu-
tation for energy and veracity, and,
of course, while he is young, he is GO
ing to keep it up. We shall be glad
to see Mr.. Anderson during the CAM
paign, and can assure him our people
will treat him right.-Munson Times.

Deport Them

Deport Them :.
The only way to do with foreign
AGENTS who violate the neutrality of
this country is to deport them or in
flict other punishment. Evidence ac-
cumulates that ever since the war be-
gan plotting against the neutrality of
the United States has been widely
practiced. This is not a question of
sympathy with one or other of the
belligerents for Americans to consid-
er, but the integrity, sacredness and
honor of this nation. 1t is this fact
that creates very nearly unanimous
approval of the action Of the United
States government in bringing sue
cessful suit AGAINST some plotters and
in asking the recall of others

Great Things Accomplished
By Man In the Past.

y
By Man In the Past.
Man is prone to forgetfulness. We
have been gaining so much ground in
the past that we do not stop to think
what great conveniences we are en-
joying thes days.
For ages there was no such thing
known as the friction match. Fire
had to be kept all the time in order
that the world might be kept warm
and have the necessary heat for cook
ing.
For years fire was secured by the
aid Of flint and steel. Then the sui
phur match was invented.s Later the
phosphorus or parlor match same
along. Today the world carries fire
in plenty in its vest pocket. Millions
of dollars go daily for matches.
The world was later astonished
when it was learned that heat and
light could be procured by machinery
which gathered it from the very air
that men breathe. Electricity had a
rapid advance to the place which it
occupies today. With it houses are
lighted, street cars operated, cooking
done, surgical operations performed,
messages carried with and with
out wires, steel cut and thousands
of other things accomplished that
I, astonish and interest mankind.
| Then came the underwater boat or
submarine. BY this new invention
men can stay under water for long
periods Of time and travel from place
to place with all the accuracy that
would attend voyage on the bosom
of the waters. Before an attack OF
one of these wasps of the sea the
largest battleship afoat becomes al
defenseless as a toy.
Shortly after the advent of The
submarine boat the navigation Of The
air was safely accomplished by ,
heavier-than-air machine. Today tn,
aeroplane and dirigible are in grea
evidence both as q means of travel
offense and defense.
In medicine and surgery grea
strides have also been made towar,

The Insurance Trust
Threatens an Increase.

&A<SSs@ l
Threatens an Increase.
From . report sent out by the
Southeastern Underwriters Associa-
ton, with its headquarters in Atlanta,
and in which territory Pensacola is
located, It il learned that the insur-
ance companies In this combination
and which have control Of this terri
tory propose, unless certain condi-
ions are met, to increase the rate of
insurance.
In order to retain the present rate,
according to the circular of this COM
bination. it will be necessary for the |
city to expend an amount estimated
at one million or more dollars and
pass regulative laws of such char
acter that not building within the
entire corporate limits can be built
where wood singles are used, nor can
repairs can be made to them with
such material.
Furthermore there is hardly q
building in the business district
which would meet the requirements
demanded by the insurance trust.
Parapet walls, floor and window pro-
lection, underground wires and many
other changes, which would total a
vast amount Of money, would be
necessary to meet the requirements.
And all this because the annual fire
loss in Pensacola has averaged $50, 900
for five years. This is told in the
same report which is characterized as
the second special report on city Of
Pensacola"
The report however, onits to state
the annual amount Of insurance pre-
miums collected from the property
holders Of Pensacola and it likewise
on,its to state the amount Of profits
derived annually by the insurance
trust from these same property hold
ers. But 1t may be conservatively
estimated that the annual profits Of
the trust will total 100000.
This IS larger profit than any
other class of business has derived
from this section, but in the face Of
It the insurance trust threatened an
other increase in rates.
It was only two years ago that thu
trust demanded more extensive watel
mains. These were provided at 1
heavy cost to the city and now reacl
practically every part Of the city
Then better pumping facilities wer'
demanded. These were provided
More fire apparatus was the next re
quirement, and an automobile trucl
was the result. All this time the in
.surance rates were advancing or els
the trust was threatening to increas
them. Finding no other reasons avail
able the Especial report" now demand
that wood shingles cease to be USED
that parapet walls be erected, tina
more fire apparatus be purchased an
that more water mains be laid. ]
these requirements are not met, tn
rates will Be Increased.
From the same report it is learne
that only twice in the past five year
has FIRE occurred where the los
was in excess Of $1,000, that the avel
age loss per fire ranges from $143 I
1856 in period of five years, an
that only in two of the past five yea,
has the annual fire loss exceeded $50
600.
The insurance trust seems hard
please. Not content with profit ,
200 per cent it wants 500.

Fine Milton Orange

Fine Milton Orange
w. H. Ware, living about six miles
west of Milton, was in town Thursday
with a wagon load of the finest
oranges that we have seen this year.
Mr.. Ware is not only an orange
grower, but an allround farmer as
well. Relative to his oranges he says
his trees are the sprouts or shoots
growing up from the stumps of the
orange trees which were frozen down
here in the great freeze some twenty
years ago. That instead of cutting
them out one shoot to stump he
has let several shoots grow, and that
now they are bearing about three BAR
rels to the group.-Milton Gazette.
