Villa Proclains
Himself President.

At last the expected has happened.
General Francisco villa has proclaim
ed himself president OF Mexico. The
announcement came through Ell Paso
in telegram from Villa who an
nounced that the action was taken
because OF the fact that communities
tions had been cut between his forces
and the convention government. The
latter is represented by Cara, who
is said TO have left the City Of Next
co vita Zapata's forces just before
the reoccupation Of the Mexican cap
ital by General obregon. Villa has
created three administrative offices--
foreign affairs and justice. state and
communications and treasury and in
dustry--and has named three Of his
henchmen to the Offices
since the first break occurred be-
tween villa and Carranza it has been
generally believed that Villa aspired
to the presidency of the republic End,
particular since the Aguas Calientes
convention. it has been generally con-
coded that his announcement Of as
sumption OF the ONCE was but tae
matter of time. While his formal an
nouncement states that he has been
compelled to assume the political au-
thority because of circumstances,
those who have watched his career
from the days when he was an out
law in the mountains with price
upon his head will be slow to be-
iieve that he will relinduish that au-
thorlty while he has power to hold
it.
The announcement OF Villa may be
7tKe-hrst move in the division Of Mex
leo. which has been predicted fol
some time past. There are three dis
tinct factions in the country, one IN
the north. one one in the central Sec
ton and one in the south. Villa con-
trolls in northern Mexico, Carranza in
central and Zapata in the southern
patr of the republic Cara being with

Of the foremost of the Florida editors
and a politician above reproach.
Frank Mayes has enjoyed an active
and distinguished career as citizen
OF Florida. Has sought and found the
way to correct living, which has
crowned his achievements In both his
occupation and his private life. All
who know OF him have regarded aim
in the highest esteem. and those who
have enjoyed the pleasure Of meeting
him personally, will be delighted to re-
members him as a character well wor-
thy OF every alteration and esteem.
The timely, although unexpected
end has come, and his going merely
calls to mind the uncertainties of life
and the certainties of death. No apol-
ogies are to be offered for the course
and accomplishments of his career;
never apparently having been threat
ened with the too often common down
falls OF mankind, there is no apparent
signal victory for overcoming defeat
which would mark his career as being
unworthy Of the career Of the truly
ambitious. Frank Mayes was clean
man. well educated, well bred and ex~
ceedingly well poised. He goes to his
reward erecting to his memory mon
ument that viii live in the hearts OF
the best people Of Florida for having
spent life Of first honor and reward.

Sadness in Newspaper Offices.

Into every newspaper Office in Flori-
da, yesterday, sadness was brought by
the message announcing the death of
Frank L. Mayes. Regardless of how
shallow the sympathy may have been
for the causes he espoused, every
honest man who knew Frank Mayes
admired him: and those OF us who
watched his courageous fight for what
he considered right, and saw his un-
selfish, high principled work for PEN
sacola and all of West Florida more
than admired him-he was a Man, a
manly broad-minded man. who hated
all things base, and who probably gave
his life as a penalty for too exhaustive
a service for others.
For years The Pensacola Journal,
Frank Mayes's paper, has stood for
a square deal for the every day people,
has fought corruption valiantly and
nceasingly-although this corruption
was hedged about by ''influentiap'
people, their wallets stuffed with
treasury notes-and throughout the
fight Frank Mayes has been the man
at the guns, facing every danger and
every opposition with unruffled cour-
age, while the people of Pensacola
have ridden safely to harbor under his
care.
But Frank Mayes has been called
away--today he perhaps can weigh
out his philosophy. perhaps look back
and see in the hearts OF the people the
gratitude that they forgot to show him
while he was here. Florida is great
er, better state for his sojourn here;
Pensacola is larger, better city than
II could ever have become without him
and all who knew Frank Mayes have
given inspiration for travelling on"
onward and upward. smiling and cour-
ageous, expecting no reward for good
service and yielding to no defeat.
1t is possible that some day we may
understand why a man like Frank
Mayes could not have lived to old
age. surrounded with every blessing,
but today we can only see that he has
0een called away in the best years of
his life. and that Florida is bereft.-

Shocking intelligence.

TodayS news dispatches bring the
shocking intelligence of the death OF
Frank L. Mayes, editor and owner OF
The Pensacola Journal Brief news
paper mention can never do. credit TO
the life and work of any good man,
and our sense Of appreciation OF the
work of Frank Mayes is not to be
Judged by the length of this notice.
Under his guidance The Pensacola
Journal was a power for good, both
politically and in a civic and social
sense. FOR he stood for what was right
and uplifting and progressive. One
of the best evidences of his worth
was the fact that he was held in high
esteem by his neighbors and fellow
citizens, and was repeatedly honored
by them.
MIR. Mayes made his own way from
the type case to owner and editor
and he achieved success by deserving
it. He was active in all that stood
for the advancement Of his own town
and State, and he left an impress on
his community that will not soon be
effaced, If ever.
Much prominence was given Mr..
Mayes by. his editorial brethen. when
he was president of the press asso-
citation, by frequent mention OF him
as a probable candidate for Governor.
He received SO many requests to be-
come candidate that he found IT ad-
visable to issue public letter declin-
ing to enter the race. He died at the
early age of forty-one just at the time
when man in full health and vigor
is supposed to be entering upon the
period of his best and most useful
work His death is a loss not only
to his family and friends, but to the
city in which he made his home, the
state Of his adoption and the profess
sion of journalism. The Reporter
Star wishes to extend to his bereaved
family its most profound assurances
of sorrow and ympathy.-Orlando

In the death of Col. Frank L. Mayes,
Of Pensacola, which occurred early
Monday morning, West Florida loses
one of her most progressive citizens
and the newspaper profession of the

Although but a young man, Mr. Mayes,
had already won reputation as pro-
gressive business man and luminous
writer, that extended far beyond the
confines of his own state, and had
he lived, it would have been but a
matter of time, when his voice would
have been heard in the councils of the

Demise Sincerely Regretted.

Colonel Frank L. Mayes of Pensacola

A Power for Good,


Frank L. Mayes, editor Of The PEN
sacola Journal, died yesterday at his
home in that city, victim of erysipe-
las. A telegram received early in the
day by Judge Parkhill bore the dis
tressing and unexpected intelligence
that he lay at deaths door. A little
later came the news of his death. Mr..
Mayes' friends in this city were un-
aware that he was seriously i'll and
this announcement comes to them like
bolt from the blue.
Frank Mayes was one of the most
popular men connected with the F9ori-
da press. He was power for good
in his home city, an agency for higher
ideals and more conscientious adj
herence to principle in the news
paper business, a clear headed, clean
minded, pure hearted man, whose
personal acquaintance was both an
honor and a help to those who pos
sessed it. He was an influence for
better things in Florida, one of those
rare, sun-kissed souls who '1ived to
make the world about him better"
and we know of him, as John Temple
Graves said of Henry Grady, that 'the
Christ of Calvary, who died for men,
has found a welcome sweet for one
who fleshed within his person the
golden spirit of the New Command
ment and spent his life in glorious
living for his race"
The writer came to know Frank
Mayes intimately during those strenu-
Gus days at the last Democratic Ma
tional Convention at Baltimore and
though Mr.. Mayes was opposed to the
majority of the delegation in its choice
Of nominee, his opposition was dig
nified, fair and courteous and wrona
impressions, gained from lack of direct
contact, were dissolved in the genial
glow of his lovable personality. Mr..
Mayes visited Tampa in 1913, presid-
ing at the convention of the Florida
Press Association, and many Tampans'
recall his presence here then in thiN
hour Of realization that he has passed
forever from our earthly ken.
His memory will rest like a benedic+
ton upon the things he touched, thF
people who knew him, the -worker5
who were with him in his daily tasks,
the loved ones who were close to his
golden heart.-Tampa Tribune.

Beautiful Life Goes Out.

A beautiful life went out when
Frank Mayes died. and the announce
ment of his death will carry pro-
found sorrow wherever he was known
Mr.. Frank Mayes came to Florida
from South Dakota perhaps fifteen
years ago and established the Pensa-

front rank among the newspapers of
Florida. His talents, the strength
and incisiveness Of his. character, his
strong political convictions and his
courage in giving expression to them,
his loyalty to his friends, peculiarly
fitted him for newspaper life. He
was an ornament to the profession
and was loved and honored by its
members.
A graceful and forceful writer
gifted speaker, possessing pleasing
and popular manners, in the prime OF
life, in the very zenith Of his news

mysteries that can never be fathom-

FIorida's Loss,

BtOTlGd h0S9p
Florida lost one Of her best citizens
and the state press one OF it's ablest
men in the death at Pensacola Monday
morning of Frank L. Mayes.
Mr.. Mayes was a self made man.
His early life was marked by struggles
that few men would have overcome.
But Mayes was one of those men Of
indomitable will and rose above every
handicap. He was a clean, fbrceful
writer, a newspaperman of the high
est type. He conducted fearless
newspaper and had TO be reckoned
with in all matters that touched upon
the public welfare in West Florida,
and, indeed over the state.
Frank Mayes was yet young man.
He had great future before him. He
was never ambitious for himself, in a
political way, or he could have held
almost any office within the gift of
the people OF Florida. He was a model
husband and father, kindly and con-
siderate employer.
When Mr.. Mayes took over The
Pensacola Journal in 1899 it was strug-
Cling for existence. 1t had no particu-
lar standing. Within a year he had
made it force to be reckoned with.
He conducted a clean newspaper. He
will be sadly missed.-Tampa Times.
