s. yE INTEREST I'M THE CASE

place-seeker or a place-getter.
But in the name of decency and good
sense we do protest against this
small class Of our citizenship at
tempting to take the politics of the
country into their own hands and
attempting to manage political mat
tiers in their own interest, when
these interests plainly conflict with
interests that are wholesome for
the common good.
In law when witness gives tes-
timony his interest in the case is
taken into consideration. Some of
the would-be leaders of the people
need a dose of that sort OF medi-
cine.
The Record is profoundly grateful
for what strongly seems to be the
arrival of time when voters, more
than ever before, are thinking for
themselves and are distinguishing
clearly between those leaders who
are their friends all the time and
those who are their friends merely
during campaign time. We are
clad of the fact that the humblest
citizen and voter is coming into his
own right, full of the knowledge
that he has citizens privilege
upon the face of the earth, and
that he is showing the spirit and
independence to stand by his guns
and fire squarely in the faces of
those who betray him. And we
are glad, too, of the fact that the
day of the successful satellite,
henchman and plugger, who plays
politics with the people with both
eyes and his soul fastened on his
own glory and his own pocketbook,
is about gone. The bleached bones
of politically dead men are scat
tered all about as warning of the
certain, final results of selfshness
and greed. And more carcasses
are on the way to the bone-yard,
simply because men cannot see the
interests of the common people
and yield to the enticing but ruin
Gus song of self-intereSt at the
same time.

REGULATING GAMBLING

Democrats of congress from the
cotton growing states held a confer
ence last week and determined to
urge congress to investigate the
New York Cotton Exchange to as
certain whether or not there is or
has been a conspiracy to depreSs
the price of cotton,
The conference adopted a resolu-
ton charging that the New York
Cotton Exchange had "defrauded
the producers of cotton out of mil
lions of dollars on the crop of 1915
by unfair manipulation of prices"
and it was agreed to draft and pro-
pose a bill to regulate this exchange,
Several bills to regulate" the
cotton gamblers have been before
congress IN recent years, but, some-
how or other, the gamblers do not
Get regulated to the point where
they are unable to fleece the South
ern farmer, What the interests OF
the Southern farmer demand Is that
the New York Cotton Exchange be
closed forever, and it strikes the
average citizen that this would be
more easily accomplished than reg
ulation, The best way to regulate"
a hurtful business Is to stop it en-

''The Battle Cry of Peace" Opera
House July 20, 81 and %.

When men like Teddy Roosevelt en-
thuse over production, it is safe to
say that it must be something worth
while. When Teddy saw "The Battle
Cry of Peace" in New York he imme-
diately wrote letter to Stuart Black
ton, the producer and commended him
in the most fattering of terms for the
performance.
"The Battle Cry of Peace" comes
to Pensacola on July 20, q and % for
six performances. Three daily matt
nees at 2:30 and three night perform
ances at S:15. 1t will mark note
worthy booking at the Opera House,
for Manager Levy has been endeavor-

production that three extra compa-

SAILORS WAITIN c
FOR A TRAIN

That many Of the cadets Of the Gulf
Coast Military Academy are planning
to return home by rail as soon as con-
nection can be made was the state
ment of several of the boys to The
Journal Sunday. Many of them are
stranded here and must wait until
telegraph and mail facilities are re-
stored before they can get sufficient
funds to make the trip.
The accidents to the vessels put an
abrupt end to the voyage, and as yet
the schooners have not been ioated.
All are comfortably cared for, and are
taking the accident in the best posi-
Bile spirits. Many Of them stated that
they found Pensacola a delightful
place, and are having the best of
times, despite the fact that after they
lost their vessels many of them lost
their personal effects.

YACHTSMEN STAY
OVER ANOTHER DAY

The New Orleans yachts were I'M
able to leave Pensacola Sunday morn
ing, as they had planned, as upon in
vestigation it was found that the sea
was running too high in the Gulf to
risk the trip. The Violet Of New Or
leans and the FREELY Of Mobile went
out to the sea buoy to ascertain con-
ditions, and returned Sunday after
noon with the message that it was yet
too rough.
The yachtsmen stated last night
that they would make another at
tempt today, as many OF them would
have to reach New Orleans as soon as
possible. The boats are considered
very seaworthy, and the pilots feel
that there would be no difficulty in
reaching home, but it is considered
unwise to take any unnecessary risks,
unless they are forced to do so.
The contestants in the long distance
race have repeatedly expressed ap-
probation for the way in which they
were treated while here, and accom-
modations which were given them, al
lowing them to pass through the trop-
ical hurricane with practically no
damage.

CAMP WALT
SUFFERS LITTLE

That trains from Georgiana to Pen
sacola have not been operating since
the hurricane Wednesday was the
statement of George w. Brown of At
lanta and James A. Harris of Jack
sonville, who arrived in Pensacola on
Sunday afternoon from Camp Walton
on the Grand Rapids.
They went to Camp Walton from
Crestview Wednesday which they had
much difficulty in reaching, as the
rivers and streams were swollen and
in many places could be crossed only
by swimming.
Several bad washouts are reported
along the P. & A. division of the L.
& N. railroad between Milton and
Crestview, and between Crestview
and Florala, and no trains are run
ming along these lines, Mr.. Brown
stated that the party he was with
crossed country from Crestview to
Camp Walton.
It was stated that Camp Walton
and other points up the sound suffered
very little damage in the storm, but
that part of the roof of the Hotel
Bristol was ripped off and some of
the guests lost valuables by water.
Several members of the party noticed
a cleared path about rs feet wide
through the woods, which showed that
a twister had passed after the storm.
