POWER OF PUBLICITY.
; %~~%%~A%%~~%~~

The Pensacola Journal was criti-
cised because it exposed a bad sani-
tary condition in that city. The mayor
and the board of public works I'M
doubtedly knew about the condition,
just as a great many people did. But
the bad condition remained bad until
The Journal told about it. After the
exposure the condition was remedied
but it wasn't remedied before. In
reply to criticisms leveled against it,
The Journal says:
mayor Hinrichs has stated that
garbage conditions at Alcaniz street
could have been remedied without
publicity. It is not necessary to argue
the questionable fact remains that
nothing was done until after publ
city. 1t is our belief that but for the
exposure, conditions would still be the
same"
It is the old story. Those who place
financial and political interests above
the welfare of the public are always
opposed to any sort of exposure that
reflects their carelessness, or failure
to perform according to dictates OF
justice to the public. S. long as they
can keep the lion of public opinion
asleep they are reasonably secure, buI
when it is once aroused their owr
safety demands that they get busy
and then for self interest alone they

EXPLAINING AN ALLusIoN.

The Journal made an allusion, by way
kof illustrating an argument, to the condi-
stion of our sewers and paving, which are
practically worn out, according to the
mayors own statement, before they have
been paid for. The mayor attributed this
to bad work, poor material and faulty de-
signs; but The Journal stated that the en-
tgineer who accepted the bad work, poor,
smateria1 and faulty designs was at fault

might interpret this as reflection against
