THE SCRATCH PAD

The Montgomery Advertiser, hav-

faction that the Democratic party of
Florida is no more, will now proceed
to pronounce a similar obituary over
the democratic parties in the forty
seven other states, and Hughes cleo
ton will then be a pipe to prophecy.

HUGHES. ARTFuL DoDGER.

IT is of course very interesting for Mr..
Hughes to call President Wilson a liar,
regarding the appointment of some census
employe. 1t is beneficial to the country.
Durand Forever! is the Hughes slogan,
and will reverberate through history like
Millions for Defense But Not One Cent for
Tribute; Fifty-four-F Forty or Fight, Give
Me Liberty or Give Me Death, and Peace,
Preparedness, Prosperity!
Yes, as a noise maker, Durand Forever
will do very we'll Hughes on a high plat
form with Taft holding an umbrella over
his head, would present an inspiring spec
tacle leading the cheering throngs below,
one hand on his breast, the other extended
upward Gust clearing the UMBRELLA
Nov, all together, men, one, two, three
Dur-and For-EV-erP'
It's great deal easier to say Durand
tForever than Give Me Liberty or Give Me
Death!
But before November rolls around the
people will be so tired of shouting that
they will require little logic to maintain
their interest
Somebody is bound to ask, Well what
about it? Isn't the country as we'll off
without Durand as with him? Are your
crops any worse? Is the price of hogs any
lower? Is business suffering?
Then the people will perceive the hollow
mockery of Hughes utterances; how he
has simply attacked the democratic policies
without telling what should have been
done, or suggesting any remedies
He attacks the administration for the
Mexican trouble, but what would the re-
publicans have done?
He attacks the administration for un-
preparedness. but it was inherited from the
republicans
He attacks the administration on the
Lusitania question, but for. some reason
does not say what he would have done to

VOX POPULI
CONVICT LABOR ON


ROADS, URGED.
Gull Point, Fla, August 10, 1916.
Editor of the formal.
note with interest the movement
to use county prisoners on the Gulf
Beach Highway. The idea is a good
one but before undertaking construc-
ton of a new road intended primarily
for pleasure it would be advisable to
put the present road system in bet
ter condition. All of the roads are in
bad shape and in some instances a
dangerous condition exists. On the
Gull Point road the caving Of con-
crete culvert has caused the forma-
ton of an abrupt chasm Is feet deep
and Is to 20 feet wide clear across the
road.
The approach is down grade from
both directions and as no fences or
other distractions are provided yet
(and the wash occurred four weeks
ago. there is a good opportunity for
some one to run over this precipice
after dark.
The Pensacola Tar & Turpentfne
Co. realizing the many difficulties
the county commissioners are labor
ing under is spending 500 to $3.50
for repairs they are making at the
Gull Point end of that road and do
not intend asking the county for re-
enumeration, but I think the convicts
could be used to mighty good advan-
tage on the other portions of this, as
we'll as other roads. The amount of
road work necessary as compared
with the money available added to

passable condition as soon as posi-
BILE makes the utilization of prisoners

THE FARM DEMONSTRATORS.

Jackson county is the latest to make ap-
for the farm demonstration.
Holmes had made such an appropriation
only few days earlier, and indeed practi-
cally all West Florida has taken the step
except Escambia county.
While it is of course humiliating that Our
county commissioners either would not or
could not make provision for farm dem
onstrator, the matter is too important for
us to lose any time in vain repining. We
can not afford to dissolve into useless tears
like Niobe If 5000 is not raised in the
county towards the agents salary, the
government will withdraw its appropria-
ton, and we will be without any teacher
whatever-the blind leading the blind.
There is no telling how much the farm
demonstration saves the community year.
Certainly many times his emolument.
But for proper preventive measures, for
instance, who can tell what the ravages of
hog cholera would have been? And in his
campaign of misunderstanding the farm
ers how such and such crop will produce
better under a different method of cultiva-
ton or fertilization-the demonstration
adds to the wealth of the county in the
trrest sense of the word He is making two
blades of grass grow where only one grew
before
1t would of course be an easy thing to say
that since the commissioners will not pay
the demonstrator, the good people of Pen
sacola should do it. And indeed there is
such movement afoot, and the usual two
or three score of Pensacola boosters are be-
ing asked to bear the burden.
And bear it they will. They have had
so much practice shouldering the response
bilities of others that they will assume this
burden with a sort of automatic consent.
They contributed to the Bankers and the
Woodmen's conventions; they financed the
Ferry Pass bridge proposition; they worked
for the Gulf Beach Highway and the Y.
NJ. c. A, and raised most of the money
they have been taxing themselves to pay
a portion of the demonstrators salary so
far-they might as well assume the entire
county's' obligations now
But ever and anon, the question obtrudes
itself: Why don't the farmers themselves
chip in? If not all the farmers, then Just
those who are so willing to accept the dem
onstrator's services? They know how inn
portant the demonstrator is-let them
| pledge little each month towards the dem
onstrator's salary, just as they do towards
| their pastors salary, and by next wear
sentiment will be strong enough to force an
appropriation through the board of super
/ viSors.
