STOLEN WATCH
RECOGNIZED IN
SHOW WINDOW
TIME PIECE WAS REPORTED TO
HAVE BEEN TAKEN EARLY IN
JUNE, AND POLICE TRACED
THE THEFT.

Recognizing in the show window of
a jeweler a watch which had been
stolen from him in June, a young
railroad mon informed Chief San
ders yesterday, and the time piece,
none the less hurt from being in
another's hands, was asked for, or
demanded by the chief, upon the
proper showing, and the young man
from whom it had been stolen was
gladdened at 6 o'clck yesterday
afternoon when, when showing up at
the office of Chief Sanndes, he re-
ceipted for and was turned over the
n, for which he extended pro-
n of thanks to the police.
The police records shows that it
was stolen by youth who is not now
in the ity, on June 5, and that
youngster had sold it at a very
low figure to another youth. The
second man is also said to have un-
loaded it on friend, and the fourth
one was said to have been hard up
one day and secured loan on the
watch. Being unable to repay the
loan, the watch was kept by the
lender, a jeweler, and was being
offered for sale, in all confidence,
when the owner showed up and es-
tablished the claim, which was readily
n~reed upon by the jeweler, who
himself had been made a victim by
the one who had secured the loan.
The watch is fine gold one, and
the owner was glad to get it back,
while the police department, through
the chief, were relieved when the
owner receipted for the property.

VEN In the midst Of the universal
reJoicingS over the repeal of the
Stamp Act the temper Of several
of the colonial assemblies had risen at
reading the ''Declaratory Act which 40
companied the repeal and which assert
ed the absolute legal right Of Parlia-
ment Ito bind the colonies IN all cases
Whatsoever
They had declared very natly then that
Parliament had no legal authority what
ever in America except such as 1t might
exercise by the consent Of the colonial
assembNes-so far had their thought and
their defiant purpose advanced within
the year.
There were conservative men in the
colonies as well as radical, men who
hated revolution and loved the just and
sober ways Of law; and there was as
strong q sentiment Of loyalty on one side
the sea as on the other.
But even conservative men dreaded to
see Parliament undertake to break down
the independence Of America.
Mr.. Thomas Hutchinson, Of Massachu-
sets. whose house the rioters In Boston
had wantonly looted when they were
mad against the Stamp Act, had been
born and bred In the colony, and loved
her welfare as honestly as any man; but
he was acknowledgement, an oflcer of
the crown. and would have deemed IT
dishonor not to uphold the authority he
represented.
Mr.. Otis. on the other hand, had re-
signed his ONCE as Advocate General IN
der the crown to resist the writs Of as
sistance.
The public-spirited gentlemen who had
opposed Mr.. denry's fiery resolutions in
the Virginian House OF Burgesses did
not fear usurpation or hate tyranny less
than he; but they loved the slow pro-
cesses of argument ana protest and
strictly legal opposition more than he
did. and were patient enough to keep
within bounds
They feared to shake an empire by
pursuing q right too impetuously.
Men of every temper and Of every
counsel made up tho various people of

the colonies. and there were men OF
equal patriotism on both sides Of the
rising quarrel.
And yet the most moderate and slow
tempered grew uneasy at Mr.. Towns
hend's measures.
Mr.. John Dickinson of Pennsylvania,
wrote and published series OF letters
Letters OF a Pennsylvania Farmer" he
called them-which stated as pointedly,
IS boldly, as earnestly as any man
could wish. the constitutional rights OF
Eelf-government which the colonists
cherished and thought tmperilled by the
new acts OF Parhament-and yet Mr..
Dickinson was as steady a loyalist as
any man In America, as little likely to
countenance rebellion, as well worth
needing by those who wished to compose
matters by wise and moderate counsels.
His hrnS-spoken protests were, In fact,
read and pondered on both sides the
water u760. and no one could easily
mistake their Significance.
The action OF the people gave only too
grave an emphasis to what their more
self-restrained and thoughtful leaders
said
Mr.. Townshend's acts were as openly
resisted as Mr.. Grenville's had been; and
every art of evasion, every trick Of In
fringement upon occasion even open and
forcible violation. set at naught other
restrictions Of trade as well.
It was startling 70 see how rapidly af-
fairs approached a crisis. Resistance
conferred, az trade itself did, at Boston.
When Mr.. Townshends commissioners
OF customs seized the sloop Liberty in
Boston harbor for evasion of the duties,
rioters drove them to the fort for shell
ter, and they sent hastily to England for
more troops.
The Massachusetts assembly, under the
masterful leadership of Mr.. Samuel
Adams, protested that the measures OF
the new ministry were in violation Of
colonial rights, and protested in terms
which. though dignif1ed and respectful
enough. were Enthusiastically imperative.

Pensacola Welcomes
Woodmen of the World.

Pensacola extends a welcome to the
Woodmen of the World and the visi-
tors who are here on the occasion
of the annual encampment Of the Uni
form Rank which begins this morning
at Palmetto Beach.
The citizens of Pensacola are glad
to have the Woodmen with them.
They are pleased that visitors, other
than those attached to this branch of
Woodcraft, have come to the city, and
will welcome others who may come
here for a day or a week of enjoy
ment.
The Woodmen will find. in Pal
metto Beach an ideal camping site.
In selecting it the committee had in
view a place that could combine a
good drilling ground, sanitary spot
for the camp and good transportation
facilities. In Palmetto Beach they
found this site and to add to its adj
vantages it is within almost stones
throw Of the Pensacola bay and Bayou
Grande.
The Woodmen, majority Of whom
have never before visited our city,
viii find a warm welcome from all.
They will return to their homes, we
believe, with a warm spot in their
hearts for Pensacola and with de-
sire, VIC hope, to return here next
vear &C. another week of camp life.

TIE School Plant
and Recreation.

Men will not tolerate in a public
school building a performance they
rlight witness without protest in 9th
er places, says Clarence A. Perry, in
a bulletin just issued by the U. S.
Bureau of Education. For this reason
p-. Perry thinks the movement to
use the school plant for school and
rccreational purposes is destined TO
purify as well as popularize amuse-
ments.
"The teaching staff and other ma
chinery of the public schools are dedi-
Gated by the people to betterment
service" says DIR. Perry, therefore
society will not permit the building
erected solely for that purpose to be
put to contrary use"
Statistics gathered by DR.. Perry
from AS leading cities in the United
States show that in one month there
were over 100000 attendances upon
evening functions in the public-school
buildings of these cities. The bulletin
declares that these figures mean so
many evenings spent in wholesome
activity by persons many of whom
would cthersise + spent that time
in less beneficial or in positively
bsrnful pastimes. ''These 100000 in
aces of the influence of the school
e month, whether scattered over
persons or concentrated upon
a few, indicate the tremendous force
for righteousness that was extended
by one months extention work in
these As cities"
'sThe public character of all func-
tions held in the school buildings has
the effect of censoring these func-
tons, asserts DR.. Perry. "The activ-
ity which a group heartily, publicly,
and nnshamedly seeks, affords the
kind of expression that its members
need. When youths and maidens con-
sort in the public-school building in
social life we may be certain that in
stincts of racial Importance are being
cherished instead of exploited"
4 ''Unfortunately," says DR.. Perry,
81 large number of young people, in
the heyday Of life, are devoting their
simple margins of energy to passive
anausements and degenerating salts
factions. What holds these young
people back from profitable pastime is
lack Of meeting places and of leader

POLITICS AND
POLITICIANS
An Unusual Campaign

It is an odd campaign on which
F. A. Wood will set out from st.
Petersburg next week in his automo-
bile. He goes, not as a candidate for
governor but as campsigner for a
propaganda that may land him in the
governors chair at Tallahassee. He
contends that his main object is not
to get the governorship but to put
through three measures which he re-
CARDS as of the greatest importance
to the people of the state. That
Mr.. Wood will be candidate for gov
ernor is very probable that he will
be a factor in the race is also prob
able, even certain, and the tour of
the state on which he starts next
week promises to stir things up po-
litically.-St. Petersburg Independent.

Don't Know Smithwick-

Don't Know Smithwick--
Pensacola has a new candidate for
Congress from the Third district of
Florida to succeed Hon. Emmett VIII
son, who will not be candidate
for reelection. The new man is j. H.
Smithwick. Both Pensacola newspa-
pers, the Journal and the News, have
come out for Mr.. Smithwick, and a
member of the staff of each paper
has written personal letters to the
various newspapers of the district,
asking them to give space to the
announcement of Mr.. Smithwick's
candidacy. The Record is perfectly
willing to announce the new aspirant
for Congressional honors and will be
pleased to have the gentleman call
on us when he visits Tallahassee. But
we have not yet seen anything printed
in the Pensacola papers that gives
any information as to who Mr.. Smith
wick is. They state that he intends
to make vigorous campaign, but fail
to mention whether he is LAWYER,
doctor, merchant, farmer or school
teacher. Where does he come from !?
How long has he been in the dis
trict?
What claim has he on the people
of this district? What has he ever
done that entities him to believe that
the people will vote for him.
We wish to be enlightened in these
matters, for Mr.. Smithwick's formal
announcement, published in the PEN
sacola Journal fails to give the slight
est information along these lines, and
until we know more about him we
certainly cannot become very enthusi-
astic in regards to the new candidate.
