FREED OR BoND-WoMEN?

The organization and operation OF
womans and girls division in the United
States employment. service is being pro-
NOTED bv the federal government. Plans
for the same were summarized by a. Can't
nctti, comrnissioner-general OF lmm1gra-
ton for the consideration of delegates to
the biennial OF the general federation OF
women's clubs. In its briefest form, the
commissioners outline contains twenty
five distinct and important suggestions rel
alive to the employment Of females over 10
years of age.
Thus officially does Uncle Sam recog-
nize the inevitable part which women are
destined to take in the world Of work out
side of the home
This is tn first time Uncle Sam has ever
sent I. message to the women's big biennial
convention. That the event should con-
Germ women as workers is significant. 1t
indicates that Uncle Sam has. concluded
that women have entered the vocational
field permanently.
Whether they are advancing toward
economical independence or are merely
adding another to their natural burden IS
outside prophecy. Time will tell
Woman's status in the industrial world
is not yet fixed Will she be able to shape
it to suit herself? Or will man impose his
own conditions on her?
By, one way she will come to the greater
freedom of which the feminists dream; but
by the other she will simply change the
form Of her old subordination to man.

AUSTRIAN STEAMER
ALONG SIDE WHARF
FOR PURPOSE OF DIsCHARGING
PHOSPHATE, STEAMSHIP LU-
CHA vACATES HER ANCHOR
AGE IN THE STREAM.

In line with previously issued or
ders, the Austrian steamship Lucia,
at an early hour Saturday morning,
left the anchorage in the bay which
she had occupied for about two years
and steamed up to a berth in the rail-
road slip, where, large number of
box cars having been available, the
5000 tons of phosphate will be ship
ped overland, to the order Of the
Eastern Chemical company.
At least seventy-fiye carloads viii
be handled from this point.
There is much interest in the prob
able effect that the phosphate has had
on the holds of the steamer. Some
who claim to know are of the opinion
that the article has "eaten" into the
bottom of the ship. Officers aboard
the steamer, however, are very anx-
ious to get the phosphate our Of their
ship, it is claimed.

THE GovERNoRsHIP ELECTION.

The returns from the Governorship race
are SO close and withal so confused that
the flip of coin is about the most accurate
means of arriving at a forecast at this
time
We must therefore possess our souls in
patience until the meeting of the State
canvassing board, which by law is re-
quired to convene within twenty days after
the election, to learn who received the nom
nation. The board will meet on the 26th
of June at the latest
Under the law, the Canvassing Board
is composed of the Secretary of State, the
Comptroller and the Attorney General.
It's personnel in the present case will
therefore be H. Clay Crawford, w ".
Knott and Thomas F. West.
AS Mr.. Knott is candidate, he will
probably decline to serve, and another
state official will doubtless be called upon
probably, in the opinion of the Tampa
Tribune, State Treasurer John c. Luning.
The attempt of Ion Farris to muddy the
waters still further is i'll Judged and will
fail of its purpose. How Mr. Farris, a
hopeless third in the race could serious
~ charge irregularities, passes compre-
henslon. Only series of frauds, vaster
than anything attempted by Nero or the
Borghias, could explain his minority.
Tanmany itself never accomplished any
thing so sublime
Let US wait until the State Canvassing
Board meets. 1t is composed Of honor
able men. It is their duty to determine
the returns, and investigate irregularities.
1t is our. duty to work for Florida and not
listen to unfounded rumors.

THE CONFEDERATE
SUBMARINE
= AAAAAAAAAAAAA~


There is a statement that the Tired
eyer Iron Works at Richmond, that
great arsenal of the Confederacy,
turned cut early in 1851 submarine
patterned after diving bell, which
speedily demonstrated its complete
futility. Much farther south, in the
soon-mena1ed city of New Orleans,
early in 1862, three men-Captain w.
L. Hunley, Captain James McClin-
took and Baxter Watson-began build
ing submarines.
After tive attempts the builders
constructed, largely out of a cylin-
drical boiler which happened to be
on hand, beat thirty feet long, four
feet wide and five feet deep-a huge
iron coffin in looks, huge iron coffin
in her brief career to fully thirty
two brave men, and withal one of the
most remarkable craft that ever rode
the waters. Her power was that of
eight men who turned the shaft of an
ordinary propeller, in default of stor-
age batteries and gasoline motors.
There were ballast tanks to take in
sea water, and a force pump to eject
it. She submerged by taking in wa
ter and by depressing external fins
like those of fish, and Travelled very
slowly when submerged, the men
working in total darkness save for
the light of single candle, and so
crowded together that no one could
leave his seat or his position-the
two navigators standing with their
heads IN the two hatchways by which
the boat was entered and left.
In Charleston harbor, in mid-sum-
mer, 1853, her career of stark tragedy
began. Lieutenant John Payne, c..
S. N, volunteered to take command,
and there was rivalry between this
boat, the Hunley, or the American
Diver, as she was called, and the Da-
vid, which assailed the Federal Go
Hath, the New Ironsides, and did her
such serious injury.
To return to the Runley, Lieutenant
Payne was getting ready for a first
attack with his submarine after sew
eral successful underwater plunges
under warships in the harbor, when a
swell swamped the boat, drowning
eight men, Lieutenant Payne alone
escaping. In a precisely similar hap
pening soon after six more men were
lost. Raised again, this floating boil
er was turned over to a civilian crew
headed by Captain Hunley himself,
| under whom she practiced for many
weeks, until, on October Is, 1868, be-
cause of careless handling, probably
by Hunley himself, she once more
dived to the bottom and there re :
manned for nine days with nine adj
ditional victims drowned or asphyx-
lated within her. It would seem as
if that might have been enough, but
it was not for Confederates while
the enemy was in sight. Two soldiers
from Mobile who had helped to build
her volunteered to operate her, and
she was raised once more.
Throughout November and Deem
Der, 1868, and January and part of
February, this devoted crew practiced
increasingly under most trying condi-
tons; night after night they risked
their lives in vain efforts to reach
the Federal fleet, being driven back
again and again, for they could only
make five knots at best, by wind and
tide and sea and the coming of day
light-a story of amazing endurance

find no accommodations whatever Small
wonder their feelings towards Pensacola
are not particular pleasant.
The sea is our greatest drawing card,
we advertise Pensacola as summer resort
but all the people can do when they get

we must find means of entertainment and

SAY NOT SO. COLONEL

The Colonel is out of politics He says
so himself. No pictures" he said to the
newspapermen, questing likeness of the
mandarin of Oyster Bay, after Arma-
eddon, Il am out of politics"
Certainly it isn't the fault of politics if
he is not, but hope springs eternal in the
Rooseveltian breast
Only Friday, when George Perkins was
quoted as saying that the restoration of
good feeling between the Progressives
and Republicans was under way, the Col
onel was plainly peeved. Perkins had been
in conference with Roosevelt on that very
subject, yet Teddy didn't know anything
about it, and told the newspapermen fatty
that if he had anything to say the pro-
nouncement would be over his own chaste
signature.
What's the matter, Colonel? Can't
George say anything? Is George only the
Lord High Chamberlain of the purse
strings?
Is the idea of peace-at-any-prioe-even
at the price of your being out of politics
so repugnant to your progressive plot
ting?
The Colonel out of politics? No, it can't
be! He's just out of photographs!
