WILL ENDEAYOR TO GIVE
CONCERTS DURING SUMMEl

Pensacola, Fla, April 25, 1916.
Editor Pensacola Journal:
In your editorial of this mornings
issue You pay a deserved tribute to
the 9th Band, C. A. c., an organize
ton recognized as one Of the best
in the service, a band whose ability
and personnel is far above the aver
age, and when you say that Pensa-
cola should have at least one band
concert month, you come to the pri-
mary object of the Deep Water City
Band.
The people of Pensacola will re-
member with pleasure the weekly
concerts given by the Pensacola Con-
cert Band, under Prof. Edw. 7. Chat
fers, during the season of 1902,
which was made possible by the pat
ronage given their other entertain
ments by the white public.
In order to insure the permarency
of the Deep Water City Band, they
decided to incorporate for $4,000.
Capital stock, with $1,000 limited IL
abilities which seemed ample, plus
their earnings, to fulfill their pro-
grams for 1916. The Deep Water
City Band has employed Mr.. J. S.
Martin, one Of the best musicians Of
the 9Th Band, C. A. c., as musical
director, who is preparing an extern
sive program for their summer con-
certs. The band is not asking for a
donation to their fund but does de-
serve and expect unanimous support
and patronage Of all white citizens
of Pensacola, for all their entertain-
ments.
Trusting that you viii add your
support to further these concerts,
ask you to give this space in your
vox populi column, as being entire
ly for the public good.

Gen. Manager Deep Water City

has reference to primary elections.
They are supposed to be companion
acts, and they have been accepted as
such with a unaninity SO remarkable
that the average person makes no
distinction between the two, and
blames Bryan when he is really re-
ferring to Trammell's act. The
Bryan primary law refers to the
elimination Of the second primary and
the counting Of first and second
choice votes, the manner of conduct
ing registration and elections. The
Trammel act relates to the limita-
ton of expenditures, the influencing
of newspapers by money or anything
else which may come under the head
of valuable consideration, and the
giving of space without compensation
by newspapers to candidates who
have been attacked, and to such other
allied subjects. There is, in fact, no
connection between the two laws;
each is complete without the other.
But the TrammeH act is the one which
the newspapers are so justly dis
pleased at, and in nearly every case
we see it referred to as the Bryan
primary law. There can be little
doubt that the Trammell act is I'M
constitutional, and any lawyer who is
much of a lawyer would be able to
see it. The Reporter-Star doesn't be-
lieve it will hold water when put to
the test, and it is rather hopeful that
it will be tested before the primary,
so that it will no longer cumber the
statute books.-Orlando Reporter

The change has been slow IN COM
parison with the phenomenal mush-
room growth of many cities; but time
has made a wonderful advance in the
conditions here.
A narrow elevated roadway in the
centre of Palafox street, from Garden
to Gregory streets, made connection
with the mainland through the marsh
which surrounded the old city. A
small "10x12" brick structure, re-
sembling a northern smokehouse,
stood on an oasis where the court
house now stands.
An immense growth of wild coffee
weeds at the roadside almost smoth-

the beautiful parkway.
The publis waterworks consisted Of
famous spring, with concrete enclos-
ure on Spring street, where the city
stables are now located. Muskogee
wharf appeared to have been long
while abandoned.
On the corner now occupied by the
ten-story "scraper," was an elevation
of brick-bats, the ruins of some ante
bellum structure. The dilapidation Of
historic market-house winked out
where the Bear building now stands.

SUFFERING FOR
ANOTHER'S SINS

Senator Nathan P. Bryan seems to
be fated in this campaign to suffer
for the misdeeds of others. 1t is par
ticularly hard for him to have to bear
the odium of the corrupt practice act
which was drawn by his chief oppo-
nent, Governor Park Trammell. News
paper editors as a rule refer to the
Bryan primary law as embodying
provisions limiting the expense of
campaigns and placing impositions
upon newspapers. This is a mistake,
probably natural, in view of the fact
that the two acts appear upon the
statute books side by side and each

they will find that it is the only fair

generation should stand all the ex-

who come later should enjoy them at
the expense of the people who are
today paying the taxes. By issuing
bonds we will pay only our proper
tionate share, while those who come
later win pay theirs.-Suwannee

years and prosperity is reflected in
attractive buildings, paved streets,
well kept lawns and parkways and

testimonial to the progressiveness Of

that the board of trade Of Kissimmee

ests of the town.

that the newspapers of city are the

Will Republicans and Democrats
Unite In Nominating Wilson?

In one of the most remarkable editorials
ever published in its columns, The New
York World calls upon the republican
party to nominate Woodrow Wilson for
president for a second term.
The World points to the revision of the
tariff as the fulflment of McKinley's dying
pledge, shirked by Roosevelt, and in which
Taft failed; to the banking and currency
law as the greatest piece of legislation yet
enacted; to the income tax law as just
and equitable means of making wealth bear
its due proportion of the cost of govern
ment; to the corporation tax as the extern
sion of an act which the republican party
originated; to the repeal of the coastWise
provision of the Panama Canal tolls act as
proof that the United States is faithful to
its treaty pledges; to the Federal Trade
Board as a progressive measure Of con-
structive legislation to the record of the de-
partment of justice; to the presidents Mex
lean policy as identical with Lincoln's
Mexican policy; to the new relations with
Latin-America as the realization of James
G. Blaine's dream of Pan-Americanism; to
the foreign policy of the president during
this difficult and critical period of history,
as a supreme endeavor to maintain the
highest American ideal of peace with
honor; to his leadership in congress; to his
preparedness measures; and declares that,
were Wilson republican leader, his party
would point to his administration as sec
ond only to the administrations of Wash
ington and Lincoln.
| Declaring that the republican party has
no presidential candidate to measure up
to the situation, The World asks:
Why not nominate Woodrow Will
son, as the democrats are going to do,
and give the world the most impress
sive demonstration of American unity
in a great crisis that it has ever
| known?
We do not mean that the republican
party should shut up shop or make it
self an annex to the democratic party.
That would be calamity, for party
| OF opposition is essential to republican
institutions. The republican party
could nominate its own candidate for
| vice president. It could name its own
candidates for senators and represent
atives in congress, its own candidates
for governors in the various states and
for all local offices. Only the presi-
| dency would be excluded for the time
being from the arena of partisan strife.
No other nation with leader like
Woodrow Wilson would be crazy
| enough in the midst of world crisis
| to change or to tolerate any attempt
| to bring about change We know of
no reason why the American people
should be less sane than other people,
or why they should permit their vital
| interests to be bedevilled for the edi-
fcation of ambitious professional pol
iticians
What say you, gentlemen of the re-
publican convention? Is the party
whose proud boast is that it saved the.
Union great enough and patriotic
enough to help give to American de-
mocracy new Union in this day when
civilization itself is hanging crucifed
on a cross of European imperialism?
