HIS AUTHORITY
NOT UNIVERSAL
Gainesville Sun.

"Pensacolians are looking to Com
missioner Hodges for relief from
sewer conditions that have existed for
the past six or seven months, for it
really rests with the commissioner
whether or not the people can next
year enjoy the rare bathing facilities
afforded them at Bayou Texar."
The above rather astounding state
ment was the opening paragraph of
the leading editorial in one of the
Pensacola papers the other day. If 1t
correctly states the facts it shows a
condition no city can feel proud of
and perhaps few could tolerate. We
suspect, however, that the picture is
somewhat overdrawn. A city of the
size and Importance of Pensacola, and
of its intelligence, invested by law
with the authority of self-government,
cringing at the feet Of state official,
begging for what it wants, is some
thing our mind has never yet been
trained to imagine.
And what has the shell fish COM
missioner got to do with whether Pen
sacola gets good bathing or not? The
Board of Health might be, under a
strained construction of the statute,
empowered to regulate such things.
But it is the duty of the state shell
fish commissioner to look after the
preservation of the fish of the differ
ent food varieties-that may perhaps
include the health of the fish. There
the duty of the commissioner seems
to end.
The commissioner has very prop
erly undertaken the regulation of GER
tain sewer emptying places, to pre-
vent the contamination Of the food
fish, both shell and other kinds, and
thereby preserve the health of the
people. But his authority does not,
in our opinion, extend to the univer-
sal good of mankind.
1t is true, perhaps, that the regula-
ton of these things at Pensacola may
be the means of giving the people of
that city better bathing facilities, but
that is an incident only, and they
have no right to appeal to the shell
fish commissioner on this ground.

Government Pay Roll
Large at Pensacola.

In the news columns Of The Journal
yesterday appeared an article regard
ing the pay roll Of the United States
government for the Pensacola Navy
Yard and Fort Barrancas which should
not be overlooked.
The figures as compiled by Captain
Muslin, Of the aviation school, are
really eye-openers. The items shown
represent no inccnsiderable sum when
we learn that the sum Of $49,500 is
paid out every month to those who
have been stationed by Uncle Sam
along our bayshore.
When we consider further that
practically $4,000 is turned loose in
Pensacola every year by our national
government for the protection Of our
immediate coast there should be a
grateful feeling in the heart Of every
Pensacolian.
So much for the cold monetary side
of the matter, but how can We esti-
mate the real benefit which Pensa-
colians secure from association with
the patziodc and cultured people who
make their homes with rs at Uncle
Sal0's suggestion.
Pe&lCacola Is justly proud Of her
naval Nld navy, and Of all those who
make up a. force kept there for ou1
benefit. -

Florida Boy Ahead

Florida Boy Ahead
The Ohio boy who grew 1853 bushels
of corn on single acre this past sea-
SON is coming in for well deserved
newspaper praise and publicity all
over the country. But his record is
considerably behind that of the boys
in several southern states, including
Florida, an Escambia county boy
raising more than ITO bushels to the
acre, and in both South Carolina and
Mississippi boy in each state grew
on single acre more than 200 BUSH
els. The South is really great corn
section and needs only the methods of
the corn club to produce SO much OF
that staple every year that it will be
one of our mnoey crops and what we
don't sell for cash we can with equal,
if not more profit, put into cattle and
