THE PROPER SPIRIT.

While the storm was vet raging, Frank
Taylor, of the Warren Fish Company,
came to The Journal office to advertise Tor
ship carpenters and filters.
That's the spirit that builds business and
make cities growl Calamity IS the one
thing when there is no time for repining,
That an enormous damage has been
done, no one will deny 1t will prove less
however than present estimates. The hsn
industry is the heaviest loser; what with
the detruction of boats, piers, storehouse,
and the interruption of business.
In the city the damage is more spectacu-
lar than real A few houses down, some
sheds and fences demolished. The public
utilities of course are heavy losers, but we
are chiefly concerned with private enter
prise. In the country, crops are laid low,
but in the case of corn the real damage will
be small, although the fields must certaInly
present very depressing appearance. But
the stalks will grow and will make corn and
silage. The damage to truck crops will be
ve1op cattle and field crops. a combination
greater of course, but this is lesson to de-
that offers the greatest gains with the least
risks.
In the meantime we must build again.
There was a sugar planter in Louisiana.
One night, in the height of grinding season,
his overseer telephoned in great excitement
that the refinery was burning down. The
planter stepped to the gallery and looked at
the glow about a mile away. Yes he said,
ct guess it's gone" Then he went into the
study and telephoned other refneries to ar
range for the handling of his crop. He
made all arrangements with the transpor-
tation companies After this, he sat down
and figured out where he stood. By day
light he knew exactly; cars of cane were
then rolling in every direction, and he went
down and estimated the damage, and
planned the new refinery.
Let us clear away all wreckage and re
pair all damage as quickly as possible And
let what we build be better than what we
lost

THE CITY GOVERNMENT PLAN.

The findings of the Charter Board, which
meets today to submit plan of city gov
eminent, are eagerly awaited by the intelli-
gent voter and interested taxpayer.
Lest the committee, elected by the people
to study the problem. might be embar-
raised in any way, The Journal has Pur-
posely refrained from discussing the ques-
ton.
When the plan is announced we will,
after submitting it to a careful scrutiny,
point out it's weak or strong points. The
Journal is committed to no plan, and is
identified with no body of men or group OF
interests. The touchstone of our policy is
the peoples interests.
Whatever the plan be that is submitted
by the Charter Board, it must be endorsed
by the people in a special election before it
can become effective. The Charter Board
does not have plenary power; it can only
recommend. It is just committee of the
people who can ratify or reject, and after
the plan has been submitted, it automatical-
ly goes out of existence.
The question of city government is the
most important issue before the people OF
Pensacola today. Only our home life con
Germs us more nearly. Let every man and
woman therefore ponder we'll the problem
when it is presented for consideration.

THE SCRATCH PAD
By THOMAS EWING DABNEY.

Referring to the wild night Frank
e. Welles spent aboard the "Fish
Hawk" dragginganchor and dashed by
a hundred and four mile hurricane, a
headline describes the experience as
narrowing; but why belittle it?
w. z. Ziebach, who was in the sec
ond story of his house when it slid
off the pillars and sat down in the
rising tide, said he wasn't bit afraid,
but to save his life he can't remember
what happened to the shirt he had
just gotten out of the bureau.

The man who went out in Thurs

about the same idea of preparedness
as congress.
This is bad year for judges. Look
