THE INTERNATIONAL COM
MISSION.

President Wilson'S utterance in regard
to Mexico in his recent speech of accept
ance, should smooth the way to the better
feeling between Mexico and the United
States, which it is the purpose of the inter
national commission, now in session at
New London, Conn, to develop
The American policy in Mexico of recent
years, and especially during the last few
months when only miracle of patience
and honesty on the presidents part pre-
vented war; was explained by Wilson'S
frank avowal that he is on the side of the
people and against the special interests
which tyrannical and venal government
had allowed to fatten on the country, final
ly convinced Mexico that our country har-
bored no Interior designs.
The scope of the commissions work is
not clearly defined One of the first things
to be considered will be the withdrawal OF
the American expeditionary force: and in
asmuch as General Funston has already
recommended it, compliance may be ex-
pected as matter of routine Then a CO.
operative system of patrolling the border
must be worked out Pancho Villa will be
doing both Mexico and the United States a
favor by attacking Pershing, as rumor says
is the intention of that doughty bandit, be-
cause by SO doing he will arouse both coun-
tries still further to the need of such CO.
operation, which will be Invested of all ma
tlonal significance. The border is always
touchy spot on the body polite If the
borderland can be united for law and order,
| danger of racial antipathy will be dimin-
| ished
But above all, the commission will dis
cuss the regeneration of Mexico There is
no way of forecasting what measures will
be proposed-if any But even if the mat
ter never gets beyond the academic stage.
& great good will have been accomplished.
The American and the Mexican commits
s1oners, who are among the broadest mind
ed men of both countries will reach a
closer understanding of their mutual prob
lens and purposes than has ever been at
tanned, and this will leave its impress on
the national policy and smooth the way for
the future
To President Wilson will be due the
credit of realizing the Pan-Americanism
which has been the aspiration of our states
men for SO many years

house connections and not to faulty
design or construction.
Our 26 1-2 miles of paved streets
are holding up well with the excep-
ton of a small amount of brick-on-
sand pavement, which was somewhat
of an experiment by the first board of
bond trustees.
OF our storm and sanitary sever
system (about 80 IL miles) defects
have developed in a total of not ex-
ceeding six blocks, and it seems to
me treason to our town, for anyone
to magnify such a comparatively
trifling matter and give out or pass
along the impression that the public
money has been wasted on a "rotten
sewer system"
Many people are aware of the hos
tile political motives back of these
criticisms and pay no attention to
them, but others including newcomes
and strangers, are not, and accept
them at face value, and that is where
the great damage is done to Pensa-
cola.
am proud of my connection with
Pensacola's splendid system of paved
streets and modern sewers, through
membership for three years on the
board of bond trustees, and my sug-
gestion for dealing with defects that
have developed, and that naturally
will develop, is thorough public
investigation of same, for the purpose
of fixing the blame where it belongs,
whether upon individuals, or mater
ials or conditions. Such course
would get US somewhere, and we
would find out who to trust, or not,
what materials to use, or abandon,
and conditions to steer clear of in fu-
ture public work.
From a close acquaintance with
our streets and sewer situation, | do
not believe that any blame can be
properly attached to Mr. Rommell for
such comparatively trifling defects
as have developed, and if in saying
so, and in publicly standing UP for
Pensacola's streets and sewers, I may
appear in the position of pushing Mr..
Rommelps candidacy for this new POI
sition with the county, why all I can
say is that that is Mr.. Rommell's hard
| luck.
Very truly,
f. F. BINGHAM.

ABATE THE NUISANCE.

There are thousand or so automobiles
in Pensacola. Each is equipped with a
horn or whistle, on the use of which there
is no restriction; consequently the noise at
times is simply diabolical.
There is law against muffler cutoffs,
and the people should be protected against
the horn nuisance as we'll Following is a
copy of model ordinance, drafted several
years ago by the technical committee of
the Automobile Club of America, which
will correct the abuse:
avery motor vehicle while being operated on
the streets alleys parSways and public places of
this CITY, shall be provided with signal device
which shall be capable of producing an abrupt
sound sufficiently loud to be heard under all con-
dtions of traffic, and to an adequate
warning of danger, and which must be sounded
whenever necessary to avoid danger to persons or
property.
att shall be unlawful for any person operating
motor vehicle in this city to make, cause to
be made any unnecessary noise with such signal
device, or to use the same except as a warning of
danger"
An abrupt" warning is quite different
thing from the ceaseless, senseless din of
horns and whistles blown out of sheer
wantonness, without regard to the feelings
of others or the requirements of traffic. An
ordinance similar tosthe above will prevent
the abuse of warning signals and make
them more effective when they are needed.

purpose of removing the tariff ques-
ton from politics for keens- A tariff
committee "for the purpose of car
rying out the protective principle"
would be a farce, of course, and the
public will see no more merit in a
republican farce than in a democratic
farce. The tariff commission plan
is the favorite hobby-horse of the
progressives, on whom Mr.. Hughes
is counting so strongly, and it is
hardly to be expected that they will
be highly elated over Mr.. Hughes
attempt to hamstring their mount at
the post. It may be necessary to gag
Mr.. Hughes yet.-Tampa Tribune.

Vox Pobuh.
BINGHAM THINKS THE
SEWERS ARE FINE

Editor of The Journal:
I have always despised public men
that are ever ready to cry, "mis-
quotedw whenever something comes
out in print that does not sound just
right, but, if you please, would like
to get my remarks of last night, on
engineers, before the public as I in
tended, rather than as your reporter
reported them.
What / tried to say to the county
commissioners in this connection was
that no matter what engineer they
selected they would still have to be
on the job, and that, in many matters
concerning big improvement pro-
ject, an ordinary citizens common
sense is just as good as an engineers
judgement.
/ will admit that there was moth
ing very profound or even original il
this observation, and to a prejudiced
listener it might have appeared that
[ was handing the commissioners a
light line of "bull." However, / meant
it, and even now it appears to me to
contain a certain small element of
truth. y f,
If | did not get it out just in the
words mentioned, the fault of course,
is mine, though at about the same
time a lively fist-fight was in pro-
gress on my right flank between two
statesmen-elect, which l am sure
would have proven disconcerting to
a far reader speaker than l am.
And now, while l am at it, | wish
to agree with your reporter in deplor-
ing the fact that meeting which
was called for the purpose of hearing
the good things about candidates for
the position of highway engineer
should resolve itself into a "trial" OF
Mr.. Rommell. However, this was to
be looked for, with the opponents of
Mr.. Romnell objecting to his ap-
pointment on the ground that some
city commissioner or other was quot
ed as saying that we had WORKOUT
or rotten system of sewers, or some
thing of the sort.
And a queer 'triaI" It was-a lot
of irresponsible talk, but not single
.seriously-made charge.
l haven't the slight interest in Mr.
Rommell's candidacy, or anything tc
say against any of the other candi-
dates for the position. AS republi-
can, it is none of my business, in the
/ opinion of many, as to who gets the
I pluns, but I have an abiding interes,
in unfolding all of Pensacola's assets
/ Among the most important of these
in my opinion, is splendid system
( of paved streets and storm and SAM
I tary sewers. Every citizen should
have the same interest, for these
things mean better health, greater
happiness, a bigger population anc
more business.
All paving materials have certain
inherent weaknesses and are subject
to wear and tear in proportion to The
use of misuse made Of them. TIL,
same with sewer materials and sew
ers. The failure of either, and more
/ particularly of sewer, may be duG
to poor care and carelessly-madt

What Charley Wants

Presidential Candidate Hughes, in
his anxiety to say something real
pointed, wsxed bold to the point of
indiscretion at Tacoma. Speaking of
the proposed tariff commission, Mr..
Hughes remarked:
II want a tariff commission for
the purpose of carrying out the pro-
tective principle, not to block it."
The idea of Colonel Roosevelt, who
claims to have fathered the tariff
commission plan, we have gathered, is
TO have tariff commission which
would be committed to neither the
protective nor the free trade princi-
pie, with the sole and praisevaxthy

THE SCRATCH PAD.
By THOMAS EWING DABNEY.

The king of Greece is still on a
strike.
What becomes of last years artists
models?
The month is far advanced, and
still we have been startled by no
September Morn.
Now that the strike excitement is
over, we can resume our betting on
the Maine results.
It's all very we'll for the meek TO
inherit the earth, but how much long
er do they have to wait?
Could it be that the man who re-
ferred to Jacksonville as "Tampa's
little sister" was a character assas-
sin?
The kaiser gave some very high
compliments to Won Falkenhayn, but
the general would rather get his job
back.
The British seized four American
schooners the other day. Their feet
were on the comforting brass rail as
they did so.
So many hats are thrown into the
ring when the county commissioners
meet that the spectators will soon
have to sit on the table.
And now the police force are going
on strike up in Sherbrooke, Quebec;
/ if they do, who will look after the
bold, bad men of the community?
With Ty Cobb, Georgian, and iris
Speaker, Texan, fighting 1t out for
batting honors, Hughes learns to his
horror that The south is to continue in
| the saddle.
Still, for the benefit of the quest
ing Nashville Banner, we suggest
that the reason men kiss girls is to
see if there is any truth in the germ
theory after all.

Unintentional Errors

Referring to the recount in Vo-

ed number of votes, the DeLand

made by the correction of uninten-

opposed to him. The Record further
says: "a representative of The Rec
ord witnessed the recount and is con-
WINGED that Mr.. Knott's cause is a
just one and one which should be
free from libelous and slanderous at
tacks by his enemies. He deserved
