THE MARKETS.

ProspecN Of peace demoralized the mar
kets almost as completely as the prospects
OF war. But in the one case, prices were
sent below their economic value, and in the
other, they are being sent nearer to it.
Steel, copper, leather, paper and alcohol
stocks almost fell off the boards entirely
wheat lost eight cents, and war babies be-
came very, very sick. Cotton, however,
stiffened, advancing about twenty points,
because with all the markets open, the
worlds demand for the finished product
will be well nigh Unsuitable.
If the peace proposals are accepted there
will be still more sensational plunges. Arti-
cles of initiation will be wiped out entirely,
but after a temporary furry, staples needed
in the manufacturing arts will reach their
proper valuation, without the long period

to go very much higher, and there will be

THE AMERICAN CABINET

That the presidents cabinet is to remain
unchanged, with the possible exception OF
Attorney-General Gregory, will be received
with satisfaction.
The various members of the official
family have been fortunate in a.most sue
cessfu1 administration, and for obvious
reasons their careers during the next four
years should be still more noteworthy. 1t
is sad thing in American politics that de-
partmental heads are changed so often that
the conduct of the nations business largely
depends upon under secretaries and chief
clerks.
To all lovers of fair play and efficiency,
Secretary Daniels continuance is especially
gratifying. If Mr. Daniels made a bad start
it was because he was not familiar with his
official duties or the policy of his depart
ment, and this was not his fault, but the
fault of the system But certainly man
who had instituted such reforms as he has,
and whose plans for the navy, in his last
report, show such a breadth of vision,
has shown himself a highly capable and
gifted official The steel trust, the powder
trust, and some of the rest of the Old Guard
with whose predatory designs on the
nations pocketbook he has so capably in
terfered, will find no cause for jubilation in
his continuance in office, but this is the day
of the peoples interests
Secretary of War Baker is slated for the
attorney generalship, and Vance McCor-
mick for the secretary of wars portfolio.

THE FERRY PASS BRIDGE.

While the Ferry Pass bridge would be
great convenience, no matter what the
charges, the schedule of tolls proposed sug-
gests grave doubt as to its ultimate benefit
to this region.
The purpose of the bridge is to bring
people here to settle up the country; but it
is extremely doubtful if tourists would feel
very kindly disposed towards region that
charges $1.25 for a one-way passage of an
automobile. Fifty cents would be ample.
Likewise to charge pedestrian twenty
five cents seems to be out of all proportion,
when we consider that railroad train will
carry him eight miles and give him COM
Portable seat and roof over his head for
the same price, that he must pay to go four
and furnish his own motive power.
Forty cents for person on horseback
Fifty cents for motorcycle
Cattle, ffeetn cents-it amounts almost
to an octroi-a tariff on farm produce,
when, as matter of fact bonus should be
paid on each head of homegrown stock
that is brought to and marketed in Pensa-
cola
That these inflated tolls may be avoided
Santa Rosa and Escambia counties should
subsidize the bridge, if necessary, the first
year or so. After that time it would be
self-supporting at a -to-ffty cent scale,
and as soon as possible should be mage free.

State Press Comment
+ Mothers Bill Were Rendered

If Mothers Bill Were Rendered
Some one tells this story about a
ten-year- boy who, having heard a
conversation about certain bills for
services rendered which had to be
paid, conceived the idea of making out
a bill for the work he had been doing
about the house, and placed this state
ment of account on his mothers
breakfast plate:
Mother owes Willie for carrying
coal six times 20 cents; for bringing
water lots of times, 80 cents; for going
ten errands, Is cents; for being good
TWICE, 10 cents; total, IS cents"
His mother read the bill but said
nothing about it. That evening Willie
found on his plate the IS cents, and
also the following bill, which read as
follows:
willie owes mother for his happy
home for ten years, nothing; for food
and clothing, nothing; for nursing him
through a long illness, nothing; for
being good to him, nothing; total,
nothing.
When Willie say the 10 cents, he
was pleased; but when he read his
| mothers bill, his eyes grew dim and
his lips qVivered Then he took the
| money to his mother, threw his arms
about her neck and begged that she
would let him do lots, of. things for
her. Mothers bill is rarely present
| ed,' said the story, but it will pay
| each child to think it out and read II
over for himself, and then pay it-ir

PEAcE2

The idea OF peace IS as a great shock now
as the. idea of war three years ago 1t was
to be expected, therefore, that Germanys
latest proposition should be received with
skepticisnl. No one, of course, knows
whether peace will or will not Fought or
ought not, has no bearing on. the question:
be ratified as a result of present negotia-
tons; and the half-cock opinion of the
street has just as good chance to be the
right guess as the. most weighty delibera-
tlons Of European chancelleries.
While in some quarters there is a ten
dency to place gloomy construction on
Chancellor Won Bethmann- Hollweg's prof
fer, and disposition to impute to Germany
all sorts of Interior designs, such as political
control over Belgium, economic control
over northern France, and domination over
Nlesopotan1ia, and the award of Serbia to
Bulgaria in recognition of faithful service,
there is absolutely nothing in the announced
proposal to justify any such interpretation
of the overtures OF course, if Germany
did expect anything like this, she would be
wasting her time. But the peace that is
asked is very far from being founded on the
assumption that Germany is victorious
Every time Germany has preached the sub
lect she has asked less. 'What we have we
keep was the early wartime slogan. Then
Germany said she would give up France,
but insisted on Belgium. Then she began
to doubt the Importance of Belgium. Now
she Offers to give up everything and asks
only for a return to the statu quo. In other
words, Germany acknowledges that the
war, so far as her expansionist ideas are
e.
place in the sun, she simply wants to be
left alone
In all probability the identification OF
Belgium and the establishment of the
kingdom of Poland may be asked. Buffer
states that stave off hostilities are of course
a consummation devoutly to be wished
and the identification of Belgium is simply
carrying to its logical conclusion the per
manent naturalization of that country
which was its pre-bellum status; while the
rehabilitation of Poland-all Poland
would be undoing of the greatest politica
crime of history.
To France the proposal should make
stronger appeal, even if Alsace and Lorrain,
do not come back to the motherland; anC
England, too should lend an attentive ca
to any plan that would prevent Russia from
getting Constantinople, against which
Britain has been fighting for hundreds Q
years, and which, if the truth is ever known
- was only promised as last resort to keel
Russia on the side of the allies, when Ger
many recently made such bid for a sepa
rate peace with that country. But wha
will Russia say to losing the rich prize
almost within her grasp?
Even if the peace plans fall throuel
Germany will Neutrality-suspicious. in
ternally with every doubt at home dispelle
and the people united to martyrizatior
which would make the task of reducing
Germany still more formidable fact tina
will weigh heavily with the allies.

HOG CHOLERA AND THE
MANNER OF HANDLING

There is absolutely no known cure
for hog cholera. There are prevent
ives, such as vaccination by either
the double treatment or the serum
alone method, either of which is
good. The simultaneous or double
treatment produces immunity from
the disease for life. The serum
alone or the single treatment pro-
duces immunity for not more than
three months. The keeping of hogs
in healthy condition is one of the
best preventives unless they come
in contact with contaminated
stream or a cholera carcass. or the
disease is carried to them by birds,
men or dogs.
The bodies of all hogs that die
with any disease from any cause
should be burned or buried-burn-
ing is better. The United States
Department of Agriculture spends
many thousand dollars each year In
the control of hog cholera and It

trivance that did the perspiring and

Inside the house, however, it was
different. The wife performed her

Franklin was a printers devil. The
only modern invention in the kitch-

that the wife had received in eX-
change for six hundred of her hus-
bands tobacco tags and twelve cents
in stamps.
One day the rural carrier brought
a letter telling of the arrival of a
baby boy at the home of the oldest
son in a neighboring county-seat.
The old lady never rested until she
had exchanged a portion of the but
ter-and egg money she kept in the
blue china cup on the top shelf of
the cupboard, for a railroad ticket
to the scene of the wonderful event.
The old man stayed at home to oil
up the machinery. He also resolved
to do the homework during the
wife's absence. Three Weeks later
when the wife returned she found
her lord and master sweeping the
