Senator Bryan Has a Right
to Defend His Public Spirit

There has been some CRITICISM OF 0cHd-
tor Nathan P Bryan because of the tact
that he is In Florida and not in Washing
ton, and It has been charged by those seek
inp his defeat, that he has deserted his post
at time when his services are sorely need
ed by his nation and state
The critics seem to forget that they
are responsible for Senator Bryan being IN
Florida and not IN Washington; that it IS
their attacks, launched during time they
thought most opportune, that he has come
back to Florida to answer
They do not seem to recall that Senator
Bryan, for over five years has better at
tendance record on senate sessions than
great majority of members of that body,
and that he was in Washington faithfully
representing his state when these same per-
sons, now complaining directed against him
a TRADE of abuse and misrepresentation.
Senator Bryan has right 20 defend him
self against these attacks. 1t is his right,
and right that should not be denied any
man, to be heard by those who are to pass
Judgment upon him, and it is only this
right that Senator Bryan is exercising In
returning to Florida and touring the state
that he may be heard by the people who
made him one of their representatives in
the senate
Had the same courtesy been extended
Senator Bryan, as has been given to other
Floridians IN the past, that of second
term, there would be no necessity of him
being in Florida. He would be in Washing
ton representing Florida as he has done
since he was honored with seat over five
years ago.
Senator Bryan is doing right. No fair
minded man can deny this.

A Spanish Trail Booster.

w. M. Herrider, circulation man
ager of The Pensacola Journal, and
Spanish Trail Booster, was in town
this week.
While here Mr.. Herrider addressed
the school on the subject of the pro-
posed highway from st. Augustine to
Pensacola, and impressed the schol-
airs with the benefits to be derived
by Bay county from its construction.
Mr.. Herrider has addressed the
schools in the various cities he has
visited on his rounds for The Journal
and his missionary work has aroused
great interest In the Spanish Trail
among the young people of the state.
On Monday night meeting was
held at the court house to consider
the matter, though the attendance
was rather small, owing TO lack of adj
vertising. Mr.. d. Il. Wilkerson first
addressed the meeting, then Mayor
Howell introduced Mr.. Herrider, who
told the audience of the Spanish Trail
and the progress that has been made
In bringing it into being.
Mr.. Her1ider had with him a re-
markable pictorial map of the Trail

Pensacola Harbor Shows Thirty-One
Feet In Channel Entrance

In view of the fact that mud-banks have
horned at the mouth of the Mississippi
river, making 1t difficult and even hazard
Gus for large vessels to get up to New Or
aeans, it may be interesting to know the
result of soundings made at the entrance
of Pensacola bay this winter
The sounding lead showed up for good
thIrty-one feet in the channel entrance to
Pensacola bay when the water was said to-
have reached its very lowest ebb. 1t is
wcll-knoWn that the water is lowest during
the winter months, and when other evil
dences showed that the level of water was
at the lowest known point, the sounding
lead was put into use, with the above re-
suit.
Upon the occasion of the cruiser North
carolina leaving port for the trip to Cuban
waters, the big naval vessel, drawing about
twenty-sN feet, went scudding to sea with
out local pilot at the wheel
When the big ship arrived for her length
ened stay at Pensacola, bar pilot was then
engaged to bring the North Carolina inside
the bay, but that was the first time pilot
), was on official duty on the naval vessel and
in further proof of the excellent condition
of Pensacola harbor,~it is pointed out that
the larger naval vessels, now in port, go
to sea and return without services of a
pilot.
The deepest draft naval vessel to have
passed over the bar, or through the chan
mel, IN recent years, was the battleship
Utah, the depth of which was given at near
kly twenty-seven feet. 1t was stated that
this passage was made to sea at low tide.
The spring flood tides make the harbor
hfrom two to three feet, deeper, which clear
Fly makes this port in class to itself as a

Florida's Fight Against tuberculosis
Gains State Wide Interest

In the organization of the Florida Anti
tuberculosis Association one of the most
important steps in the history of the state
has been taken, the result of which will be
far-reaching not only in protecting the
health of the state, but in its development.
Marvellous results have been achieved by
the national Anti Tuberculosis Associa-
ton, but it has been proven that the best
results are only obtained where there is
a strong state organization as well as coun-
ty and community sub-bodies.
The following purposes of the associa-
ton, which is to be affiliated with the Ma
tional Association for the study and pre-
the constitution:
Dissemination of knowledge concerning
the causes. treatment and prevention of tu-
berculosis
Investigation of the prevention of tuber-
culosis in the state of Florida and the col
lection and publication of useful informa-
ton
Securing of proper legislation for the re-
lief and prevention of tuberculosis.
Cooperation with the public authori-
ties, state and local boards of health, the
Florida Federation of Women's Clubs, the
National Association 70 the Study and Pre-
vention of tuberculosis, medical societies,
Visiting Nurses Association, and other or
CARNATIONS, in approved measures adopted
for the prevention of the disease.
Promotion of the organization and work
of such local scieties as may be needed.
Encouragement of adequate provision
for consumptives by the establishment OF
sanatoria, dispenSaries and otherwise

Situation Confronting Newspapers
OF the Country Serious One

That the situation confronting the news
papers of the country is far more serious
than the general public has even begun to
realize, is evidenced in a dispatch carried
by the Associated Press from Houston,
Texas. One of the oldest and best papers
in the Lone Star state has been forced, be-
cause of shortage and rapidly increasing
price of white paper to increase its selling
price from 2 cents to cents.
1t is quite likely that the Houston paper
is merely the first of a large number of
newspapers that will be forced to take that
step whether they want to or not, accord
ing to the Mobile Item, which says:
Every publisher has viewed with
alarm" the dawning of paper famine,
caused in part by heavy acquisitions of
Canadian pulp by England for muni-
ton and other purposes, and in part by
the difficulty in obtaining bleaching
material that heretofore come from
German sources Recently the United
States Department of Commerce took :
the unusual step of sending out circu-
lars to be posted in public places urg-
ing all citizens to save, instead of burn
ing, rags and old papers, including
pasteboard, all being material that can
be made over into paper of various
kinds.
Only last week, on account of the
accident to, the Mallory liner Alamo,
which had to be towed back to New York
with large quantity of paper in its
hold destined for newspapers at Gulf
ports, at least two papers, one of
which was The Mobile Item, were
forced to buy on the open market at
ruinous prices There was practically
no extra paper that could be bought or
borrowed from other newspapers in
the South, all having barely enough to
last until their next shipments. AS a
result, temporary supply was pur-
chased that cost, including freight,
about 1928 cents a pound, about 1-3
above contract cost. Six 10 page papers
weigh pound Although the man on
the street pays 2 cents for his paper,
| the newsboy pays only one cent and
/ the cost of handling and press waste
still further reduce the newspapers in
come from circulation to fraction of
cent per copy or little if any more
than the actual cost of the bare white
paper laid down in the office And
this before adding the cost of gather
ing of news, the ink and press work
and the overhead expense, all of which
run the total cost of each paper to con-
siderably more than the purchaser
pays.

Should Publish Finances

The next legislature should pass a
law compelling all school boards,
county commissioners and town coun-
els to publish their minutes and f.
nancial statements once a month in
at least one paper in each county.
These boards handle the people funds
and the people naturally would hike
to know just how it is done. They
are entitled to public statement

A candidate willing to do the right

one intent on the good of humanity
and not working for self-emulation
has been found. She Is a Florida
woman and was brought out at a
meeting in Pensacola of the club, the
social and the business interests as
they are represented by the women
of Pensacola. These women decided
they want to elect a member Of the
school board and the meeting was
held that nominated Mrs. 3. e.
Saunders. Resolutions were passed,
among them this one: lowing to her
inability through man made laws to
qualify in the primary she run as
an independent candidate IN the gen
eral election" That is one feature Of
the policy Of the suffragists that will
not hold good. No Independent party
has ever stood long in America. How
ever, the women of Florida may show
us something. Bombay has a few
members of this new party and some

AN EXAMPLE OF HOW LIVE NEWS
IS CHoKED IN TRUST PRESS
Chicago's best mystery story to-
day is about a girl killed by an ele-
vator in the basement of Siegel
Cooper & Co. department store at
State and Van Buren, streets, Satur-
day night
The seven daily newspapers Of Chi
cago choked off all news Of the kill
ing. WHY they suppressed this
news is NO mystery. 1t was done to
protect an advertiser who has spent
millions of dollars for ad space in
the seven papers. The mystery is
HOW it was done. Did the editors
suppress voluntarily? Or did they
get orders? And who gave the or
ders?
The City News bureau got the
story and it went in the regular way
to all seven of the papers. The name
of Mary Minnick and how Mary
through some fate of neglect was
crushed head and shoulders by a
steel elevator-how the body lay at
the bottom of the elevator shaft red
with blood and torn clothes and hair

terrible than murder stories often
printed in the big seven papers
this was sent out by the City News
bureau in the regular way.
And not a newspaper in Chicago
