The bankers maintained they signed
the affidavit on advice of counsel and
that It's intent was to swear that the
bank never had engaged in stock deal

bank officers had executed transactions
for depositors in their personal capac-
tiles.
The government cannot appeal tire

charge made last May, during the trial

in a conspiracy to wreck the bank.

ANOTHER CONVENTION.

The convention of physicians and sur
geons of Florida and South Alabama, to be
held here October 1926 while emphasiz-
ing of course Pensacola's growing recog
milton as a convention city, is especially inn
portant in that it will signalize the remark
able development of our medical facilities
1t was DR.. 7. Bannon Hubbard, of
Montgomery, president of the Montgom-
cry County Medical Association, who said
recently that of all the hospitals he has
seen in the United States, none, with the
exception of the one at Harvard Univer-
sity, is as complete as the Pensacola Hos
pital-that monument to civic pride before
which strangers stand astonished!
A feature of the program prepared for
the convention is that the visiting physi-
clans will be invited to bring with them any
charity patient for diagnosis or operation
and the full expense of treatment will be
met through the courtesy of the local in
stitution.
Pensacola, which is accomplishing so
many other remarkable feats of develop
ment, will be proud to demonstrate that it
has the most modern, up-to-date hospital
in the South.

STILL AT IT.

Although it already has what is reputed
to be the best system of roads in West
Florida, Walton county is far from salts
fed. It wants more. And on September
26 it will vote on two hundred thousand
dollar bond issue for constructing hard
surfaced highways to connect every i'm
portant point in the county.
We hope the issue will carry, for the de-
velopment of all West Florida depends on
the progress of its neighbors.
With a highway construction of 2,848
miles in 1915, Florida has demonstrated
itself one of the foremost road building
states in the union
Without roads, good roads, and lots of
them, there can be no development. There
IS no class of people who have adopted the
automobile more enthusiastically than the
farmers. To them, indeed, it is more of a
necessity than to city jewellers, because of
the problem of distance. The farmers who
will be attracted south are those with suffi-
Gent capital to own automobiles, and if
there are no roads, they will simply not
buy.
Modern economics does not wait for the
| development of community before giving
| it road. Out west, and in Texas today,
magnificent pixies are driven through alb
so1ute1y unsettled countries; you travel for
miles without seeing house, but you do
this only for few months after the road
is completed. The magic change that pres
emily comes over the land is almost TN
believable-prettyh houses, capacious barns
tat herds of cattle
Roads are as necessary to the advance
of progress as to the advance of an army

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER :, 1916.
WILSON WILL WIN

Congress passed the eight-hour law,
averting the strike, by purely party vote.
Rv the same token, the Adamson bill, writ
ten at Wilson's dictation, is applauded or
condemned throughout the country, &C
cording to politics Without attempting to
examine into the logic or justice of the
measure, the dyed-in-the-wool Democrats
are for the bill, and the ditto Republicans
are against it. All the argument, pleading,
or vituperation in the world won't change
either.
What however do the independent voters
think? the men who are not affiliated with
any group of interests? who discount party
clap-trap, recognize how loosely drawn are
the political lines, and are influenced by
principles alone?
These are the men who will really de-
eide the election, because the rubber-stamp
voters, being about equally divided, Will
neutralize each other
Some Of these independent voters ap-
prove of the presidents method, some dis
approve 1t is impossible to give the exact
ratio, but our opinion is that the majority
approve But even if the ma jority disap-
prove the actual method of averting the
strike, the only thing the independents will
remember on election day will be that there
was no strike There will not have been a
days interruption to business; the country
will have piled up some more commercial
records; there will be more money in cir
culation-and the credit for it all will be
due to Wilson Had he taken different
course, the independents will say, there
would have been a strike for one day, two
days, week-no telling how long; thou
sands of men would have been thrown out
of employment and the delicate equilibrium
of business upset; and the people would be
deeply in debt instead of looking forward
to one of the biggest Christmases in his
tory.
And the Independents will vote for Will

State Press Comment
Good Advice

It seems real funny" that so
many persons and SO many papers
should be singing mud at both Cats
and Knott, when the real issue now
is, which of these two gentlemen re-
ceived the majority of the first and
second choice votes, matter over
which neither of these gentlemen
now have any control. Regardless of
ugly things that have been said
about each, we shall vote in the gen.
eral election for the man whom the
people nominated. Calling names
now doesn't do any good, and it may
DO harm. Obtain the evidence as
best you can and then vote for the
man whom you believe was actually
nominated June 9Th. Some men are
not going to do this if they vote the
way they talk. They are going to
vote according to their prejudices.
and are honest enough to admit it,

Birmingham is a manufacturing and mining

and from our standpoint at any rate is al

confess that West Florida could survive,
no matter where the designation fell. We
hope, however, that Alabama will draw
the prize, and for that reason one of the
