WE NEED BETTER ROADS.

We need better roads-anybody who
has been through the county recently,
knows that. And we can have better roads
without spending cent more than our
present appropriations If given more
efficient administration of the fund.
Why, for instance, are not Our roads
properly graded at bridge or culvert ap-
proaches1 Why is there almost always a
bump? Why is the bridge too high or the
road too high? 1t costs the same, whether
the work is right or wrong.
Why, also, is not the split-log drag used
an appliance cheap of manufacture and
efficient of results?
Why are the drainage bitches in the
middle of the road, when the water could
be shunted off by building the highways
with slight crest?
Why is it that in low stretches there are
no lateral bitches to carry off the water,
which mandates the road sometimes for
days, resulting in horrible ruts.
Why is it that sometimes the drainage
is in the wrong direction?
The county commissioners are elected to
administer the affairs of the. people, and
they are a clear-th linking, honest set of
men-men who are doing all in their
power towards the development of Escan1-
bia county. w. G. Barrineau, for instance,
at his own expense, has had a sample road
sign made to demonstrate system of road
signs.
There are. some very excellent roads in
Escambia county, but why are not all Of
them equally good?

THE SCRATCH PAD
By THOMAS EWING DABNEY

Hamlet said, Something is rotten
in Denmark; but if he were alive
today, he would say that Pensacola
needs Cleanup Week.
"Short stockings? Bunk" says
newspaper headline; but we opine
that the dear creatures will be say
ing worse than that when the mos
quitoes start prospecting.
If it is true, as the New York
clergyman says, that women are
taking up the vices that men have
discarded" we won't have such trou-
bic getting rid of our worn out wad
of chewing gum.
The resourcefulness of women is
simply appalling. It beats the Dutch.
The dagger hatpin is no more, but
when one lady became slightly peeved
at another the other day, she reached
down and drew her slipper, with
which she proceeded to bean the of
Tending one in very efficient man
ner, using the heel with admirable
effect A hammer couldn't have
done the work any better, and the
question occurs to us, Just what con-
stitutes a concealed weapon? If it is
illegal for man to carry brass
not get too gay with their one
sidering the advisability of making
the women go barefoot.
True, they are called map-eating
sharks; but the dear girls had better
not get too ffgay with their. one
piece bathing suits.
Now that the United States has re-
tired from the celebrated brink of
war, we can get time to wonder when
Cincinnati will win another game.
The Montgomery Advertiser thinks
the Florida elections set bad exam

our contemporary is referring to the
puns of the photographers on Knott,

the grand old men that he chose for
his cabinet, and who were his adj
qisers, do wrong?
Then wherein is Mr.. Knott doing
wrong?
Is it any worse for a Republican 60
steal from a Democrat than for a
Democrat to steal from Democrat?
Let the courts decide, and all viii
cheerfully abide The result.

LIQUOR FIGHT IN SANTA ROSA.

Warm wakes the liquor fight in Santa
Rosa county.
For the past several weeks petitions
have been circulated to have another cleo
ton called with view to reopening the
saloons there That the petitions are
receiving many signatures, is certain;
in fact, it is thought they are re-
ceiving too many to be true 1t is openly
stated that fraud and Misrepresentation
are being employed to secure the signatures
and that peoples names, living twenty
miles away, have been forged. Be this
as it may, the counsel for the board of com
missioners says he will print the petitions
before the board acts on them, so that the
forgeries, if any, will be detected. The
future, as the books say, is on the knees of
the gods.

The criticism INDUCED in by some
people of settling the governorship
contest by the courts is entirely out
of place. There are those still live
who remember how the fight in the
late COS and 70's made it possible
for them to vote at all at this time.
1t is not so very long abo, and The
Florida Record is blessed with a good
memory.
We all (the older set) remember
the contest of 1876, when Democracy
was making its fight for white SUI
premacy in the South.
George F. Drew was the candidate
of the Democrats for the Office of
Governor.
Marcellus L. Stearns was the can
didate of the Republicans.
Then came the fight. On the one
side Bloxham DR.. Crawford, Geo. P,
Raney, w. D. Barnes, John Hender-
son, and a whole line of distinguished
citizens-men who had just come out
of the conflict between the States
who had risked their lives for their
section and were now risking it again
to save their party.
The election came on. The Repub-
lican returning board, from the face

the final result was:

wouldn't submarine merchantmen then be

Wouldn't they bring us the giant re-
