Pensacola Children Have Right
To Properly Directed Playground

For number of years Chicago has led
the cities of the>world in the number and
equipment of its municipal Fairgrounds.
Chicago now has sixty-hve big Fairgrounds
open, and the announcement has been made
that the special park commission will open
this spring no less than forty-six new play
grounds, making one hundred and eleven
places where any child can play, where he
can find directors, one for boys and one for
girls, at each playground, to help get things
started and keep them running smoothly.
Nothing that Chicago has ever done has
served as greater advertisement than has
its wonderful park and boulevard system.
To drive, as one may, for hours from one
beautiful park to another gives one new
conception of city life.
In the summer these parks fairly swarm
with children. There are bathing beaches,
there is boating and tennis and golf, base
ball and all the outdoor sports, under expert
supervision as all playground work should
be-
With all of Chicago's wonderful parks,
there is none for which nature has done
more than for Bayview park For many
years this park, after its development by the
Fairgrounds Association of Pensacola was
the centre each summer of the pleasures of
the children and the youth of the city I'm
der the direction of this committee the play
of the children, both boys and girls, was not
only properly but most happily directed, IN
til at the time Bayview park was closed, on
account of contamination from the sewer,
it had become the most popular place in the
city in the summer time.
The boys and the girls of Pensacola are
quite as valuable to the city as are the boys
and girls of Chicago to that municipality
The boys and girls of Pensacola have every
right to playground, such as they have en-
joyed in the past, and with the closing of
the Romano street sewer this playground
should be opened under proper supervision
for their benefit

Smaller Precincts Or Double Forces
Should Be Provided For Primary

The board of county commissioners
should take steps Immediately towards
remedying condition that will exist I'M
less something is done, when an attempt is
made to count the ballots in the June pri-
mary. If the polling places remain as at
present constituted it will require from two
to four days to count the ballots in many
of the larger precincts. This is longer
service than many citizens care to devote to
this work; especially as it means cont1n-
uous service with no opportunity for sleep
or rest
The ticket will be the longest ever voted
in Florida, for every official from president
of the United States down to the smallest
officeholder, is to be elected, and with few
exceptions there are a sufficient number of
candidates running for an office to insure
the second choice being brought into use.
It has been conservatively estimated that
it will require ten minutes to count and
tally each ballot If this is true clerk and
inspectors in the city precincts polling
above three hundred votes each will be at
the polling booths for three and four days.
The board of county commissioners
should take up this matter Immediately. An
intelligent force of clerks and inspectors
will be required in each polling booth to
properly handle the ballots with their sec
ond choice features, and it will be hard
matter to secure them if the men know they
are to be on duty for more than one day.
1t may now be too late to create new pre-
cincts and polling places, but it is possible
that double or treble forces of clerks and
inspectors could be employed. No one
force of inspectors should be required to
count more than one hundred ballots.

The Armor Plate Trust Is After The
Scalp OF Josephus Daniels

The trusts and their allies, the subsidized
newspapers, are after the scalp of Josephus
Daniels, secretary of the navy, and they are
sparing no efforts to make this competent
official appear in the public eye as one who
would throttle free speech, as we'll as wreck
the government in an attempt to carry out
his views.
The thinking people quickly realize the
motives that prompt the newspapers and
individuals who are making these attacks
on the secretary of the navy. His chief Of
Tense in the eyes of these critics, although
they attempt to conceal it, is the fact that
he has recommended to congress that the
government establish its own ar1nor plate
plant. This will put an end to the robbery
by the armor plate trust, which thrives in
the Republican state of Pennsylvania, of the
government, and will enable the latter to
manufacture its own armor plate for vessels
built IN the future.
The Bethlehem Steel Company, one of
the largest manufacturers of armor plate,
is now engaged in sending letters to every
newspaper in the south. These tell why the
government cannot enter into a business
that has been so profitable to the Bethlehem
company, and why the latter should be al
lowed to continue to grow fat at the ex-
pense of the people.
Failing in their attempt to GUST the sec
rotary of the navy it may be expected that
the arrnor plate trust will turn its attention
to those in congress who have supported
Mr.. Daniels in his endeavor to end this loot
ing of the treasury.

Florida Booster

Probably no political announcement
yet made will attract more attention
than that of the Hon. Adrian P. Jor-
dan, the venerable editor of the Punta
Gorda Herald, in announcing his can
didacy for the office of Secretary Of
State. Mr.. Jordan has been an editor
of weekly newspapers in the state of
Florida for more than thirty years,
from Wildwood, Oxford, Brooksville,
Leesburg, Gainesville and Punta Cor
da. During all these years he has
been one of Florida's greatest boost
ers, and doing boosting of kind that
counts. He is thoroughly acquainted
with public affairs, and is as well fit
ted for the position he seeks as any
man in the state. His opponent, the
Hon. Clay Crawford, the present in
cumbent, is also a deservedly popular
man, and with two such campaigners
and popular gentlemen, we may ex-
pect a warm race.-Arcadia Daily

Let Pensacola Enter The
Good Roads Photographic Contest

In connection with the pending legisla-
ton in congress to have the federal govern
ment shoulder part of the task of good
roads construction, the National Highway
association desires to have adopted plan
for system of national highways, survey
ed and located by expert engineers, so that
federal funds will not be spent in hit and
miss pork barrel fashion, according to
dispatch sent out from Washington. By
means of Photographic contest it Is pro-
posed to gather complete picture of the
good and bad road problem as it. exists in
every section of the country, and this the
association will use in its effort to obtain
scientific 'Snon-pork' legislation from con-
gress.
Elsewhere in The Journal will be found
a complete story of the plans for this prize
contest, in which Pensacola and West Flor
ida should enter.
The highway to the Gulf Beach is already
arousing a tremendous amount of interest
and the work should be pushed forward
with all the rapidity possible and pictures
of this and other West Florida roads should
be included in the pictures submitted in the
contest.
During the past few months Florida has
achieved national reputation because of
the good roads enthusiasm in this state, and
the press of the country has frequently re-
ferred to Florida as being alive to the inn
portance of better highways.
But enthusiasm must be applied to
achieve any real and lasting results. West
Florida and Pensacola in particular have all
the enthusiasm necessary, provided it is
made creative by being applied in practi-
cal way.
Let the good roads enthusiasts enter into
this contest for the prizes offered, and let
the photographs submitted show the road
to the Gulf Beach completed, or else so we'll
under way as to advertise Pensacola and
the gulf beach from one end of the United
States to the other.

Trying to Get Control

One of the warmest fights ever
staged before the legislature of Flor
ida was that of the session of 1907 to
secure the passage of the uniformity
text book measure. superintendent
William n. Sheets was on the ground
fighting for the passage Of the law,
although he was at that time only
a principal in charge of the Tallahas-
see schools. He met the representa-
tive Of the American Book Company
bitterly opposed the passage of the
law, and the reason is apparent when
the saving of hundreds of thousands
of dollars to the parents and children
of Florida was at issue. The Amerf-
can Book Company again is trying to
get control of the school book bust
ness of Florida, but since the law is
on the statute books other methods
must be pursued. The next best
thing it can do is to secure the elect
ion of men who will favor the adopt
Ion Of American Book Company books
regardless of competition. DR.. Kel-
ley brazenly publishes a letter from
a representative Of the American
Book Company in which the writer
refers to "our friend DR.. Kelly" and
expresses great uneasiness for his
welfare. Why is the American Book
Company so much concerned for the
health, happiness and general welfare
of tour friend DR.. Kelley" Orlando

strange commentary on American
political ethics that it should be nee
essary to prove it? Tt is the law, and
laws are intended to be observed, and
the good citizen should observe the
spirit and intent of the law when he
marks his ballot. Is the desire and
practice Of beating" somebody in our
elections so imbedded in us that we
cannot be honest in voting unless it
is proved to US that it really works
as we want it to?

Up In the Air

Another demonstration of the truth
Of our unpreparedness occurred at
Pensacola last week. A captive bal
loon had been sent to the aviation
school at that place, but it would not
stay captive. It was 81 feet long,
cigar shaped, and had a gas capacity
of $4,000 cubic feet. So it win readily
be seen that it, like some people over
in some other states than Florida,
was something of a "gas bag" To
make a long story short, a little
breeze sprang up the other morning
and away went the balloon. It was
finally captured some IS miles away
and probably but little worse for its
escapade.-Gainesville Sun.
