THE GULF BEACH ROAD.

There are some things that won't die.
Among them is the objection against the
county commissioners for allowing the CON
victs to work son the Gulf Beach Highway
instead of repairing the county roads.
Except that it has not been put into
poetry or set to music, this question has
been explained in every possible way, from
every possible angle
It IS to be hoped that Chairman Han
cocks statement in The Journal will lay
this ghost once for all. The county com
missioners have not cent Of money with
which to buy material or pay the board bill
of convicts while on the county road work
They are unable to borrow any money
against next years budget The offer Of
the Gulf Beach Highway committee to lend
! them money was declined as prohibited By
| law There remained, therefore only two
alternatives to the county board-eithe1 to
turn. the convicts, mules, ETC., over to the
Gulf Beach Highway committeeman, or to
put the one in jail and the other at pasture
Adding that the money used in the con
structlon of the Gulf Beach Highway i
not county money, but was raised BY privat
subscription in Pensacola, we put the ques
ton up to,you fairly and square1v.
Could the county commissioners have
| done anything else?

enormous campaign contributions to keep
in effect an economic system which en-
riches them at the expense of the nation at
large.
Another .'Payne-Aldrich" tariff-that's
what Hughes means by Americanism. The
man who RACES because the south is in the
saddle is a reversion to civil war times,
when protection was the essence of Ameri-
canisrn--a doctrine that eventually turned
our government over to the domination OF
private interests.
This is what the free voters of the coun-
try will find out more and more every day
as the campaign progresses-this high
tariff joker in the Republican pack of
rational honor. But the independent voter,
who has a knack of asking awkward ques-
tons at times, will say, Since our people,
including most Republicans, have recently
decided on revising the tariff downward,
won't we make horrible mess of it if we
sce-saw back and forth all the time? Let's
stick to our present scheme.
The efficiency and consistency which
Hughes talks about will, indeed, prove a
two-edged weapon for the Republicans.
The independent voters idea Of efficiency
and consistency will be to return Wilson
end the Democrats to Washington to work
miracles of prosperity for another four
years.

GO SOUTH /

At more than twenty-five fairs and ex-
positions in northern states the south will
be advertised this Fall by various railroads
as the ideal farming country
Agricultural exhibits will be shown. and
the possibilities described by competent ex-
perts, the object, of course, being to pro-
mote immigration.
And there IS one more argument that will
be used in the Go-South propaganda:
Land as good as 500 Kansas land-if
not better-can be bought down here for
SIS to SIS an acre.
And as the people hearken to the advice
and come south, they will find conditions
even better here than they were painted.
Only the other dav The Journal printed
an interview with w R Dortch, who is
connected with 4,000-acre cotton and
cattle farm in Arkansas, saying that West
Florida offered greater opportunities for
cattle farming than Texas.
He also expressed surprise that the in
| dustry had not been more developed here.
Well, for one reason, our people didn't have
the capital; for another thing, they were
more interested in lumber and turpentine
and didn't know how; and, for a third rea-
son, West Florida wasn't sufficiently ad-
vertised
But they are learning now. A party OF
West Florida farmers have Just returned
from a study-trip of cattle conditions
through the middle south, and the exhibits
being prepared by the railroads are an illus
tration of the ever-increasing advertisement
our country is receiving.

THE SCRATCH PAD

Good morning, Colonel Jennings.

---@AS N@0@O&AIA y G4444444S@Gs
The man who takes you by your
coat lapel ard tearfully tells how
many thousands OF dollars he lost
by not investing IN cotton before the
rise, doesn't get a bit of sympathy.
AS the Montgomery Advertiser
says, America is too big to be sec
tional IN any sense. Her public men
should be too big and too. Droad to
BE- provincial. If Mr.. Hughes. will
therefore only come south and stay
with US awhile, it will do him great
deal Of good-not in political
sense, but, his intellectual eyes will
be opened to the people of this coun-
try, as Roosevelt's and Taft's eyes
were opened.
The Nashville Banner wonders Why
men kiss girls. Before answering
we would have to see the girls.
Much talk has made Hughes
throat sore. It has also made the
American people sore.
"somme Fight Now Murderous
Work" says a headline Somebodyql

j Doubtless the reason Why Wilson
won't GO on a speaking tour is that
he will be too busy doing things for
the country.
Meat will never 60 too high for
the politicians to have pork.
In view of the fact that only six
men out of a hundred thousand are
bitten by snakes, the fellow who
takes a bottle of 'snakebite" along
on a hunting trip is running an aw-
full chance of a thirst.
The Columbia State isn't far wrong
when it imputes Hughes gloom at
the South's being IN the saddle, to the
fact that of the six leading bat
smiths in the National and Ameri-
can leagues, Robertson is from North
Carolina, iris Speaker is from
Texas, Ty Cobb is from Georgia,
and Joe Jackson is from South Caro-
lima.
If it is true, as the director of mu-
sic at the University of Chicago

State Press Comment
Without a Foundation

It is very common thing for
rumor to start somewhere by some
one who has not taken the time or
trouble to investigate the truthful
ness thereof, which often leads to dis
astrous ends The rumor that the
I. & N. Railroad had refused to ac-
cept any cattle for shipment is one
of this kind.
In the Quarantine Rules and SAM
tary Regulations issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture
governing the inspection and trans
portation of live stock, Florida is
listed as follows:
"The entire state of Florida IS
quarantined, except the counties Of
Broward and Dade and that portion
of Palm Beach County south and
west of the Hillsboro drainage canal
From the quarantine area Of the
State of Florida cattle shall only be
moved to points outside of the quar-
antined area in accordance with the
regulations for immediate dipping, il
spection or certification.
In these provisions which are tot
lengthy for publication, rules are
given for the shipment Of dipped Of
tick infested cattle and that for i'm
mediate slaughter. If these rules
are complied with and the cars AM

when france started i'm the war there
had been no governmental control Of
n airplane industry. Every manufac-
turer had been allowed to work out his
w theory of aviation without collob-
Grating with n of his competitors or
seeking the best solution of aerial de-
tense in war. The result was that, when
hostilities began, a champion flyer who
had always flown the machine Of one
manufacturer was unable to fly the
machine of another manufactures be-
cause of the many differences of con-
troll. AS a result, France was forced to
adopt a standard method of airplane
control and to teach many of it's best
~av1ators all over again. This is one OF
the main reasons why up to the present
year Germany has been almost univer-
sally superior to the allies in air service,
for although Germany had no machine
as good as the best French airplanes 1t
had adopted a universal system ,of con-
troll throughout the empire, and was
therefore prepared to go ahead with the
improvements for fighting and scout

veloped aviation from a point of view of
military preparedness, whereas France
