THE THANKS OF THEODORE

Early Tuesday night the fash went over
thousands upon thousands of miles of tele-
graph wire, up hill and down dale, across
deep rivers, scaling mighty mountains,
from Maine to Key West, from New York
to San Francisco:
Theodore thanks the American people
for the result of the election"
Not Wilson thanked them, but Theodore
not Hughes, but Theodore.
Yes, bringing his mudslinging campaign
to an end, Theodore thanked the American
people,
Why? That is not for us to know. A
mere people must be content with Iheo-
dores thanks, without inquiring too par
ticularly as to the meaning. Note well, ia
did not thank the people for Hughes cleo
tion--the man he. had apparently been
working for; he made his thanks general
so that in the event of Republican victory
he could cry: Behold me, the king maker
And in the event of Democratic victory,
he could say: Had the Republicans nomi-
mated me, they would not have failed
And little children now in their cradles
will some day list the tale of old men, who
with cracked voice and vibrant beard, will
tell the tale of the brave times when Iheo-
dore thanked the American people

THE CHAMBER OF CoMMERcE.

Pensacola expects great things from the
membership campaign of the Chamber of
Commerce. With greater support and
more finances, that institution will be able
to conduct its advertising crusade in an
effort to build up Pensacola
It seems big contract, but remember
what the pluck of the Atlanta Chamber of
Commerce did-of Jacksonville, of Tampa
Remember what our own Chamber of
Commerce has been able to accomplish
during the hopeless years just passed; the
railroad rate fights it has won; the conven-
tions it has brought here; the naval stores
market it has established, not to mention
its successful efforts for a greater aviation
station.
The Chamber of Commerce is merely
the expression of a peoples pride and faith
in their city. There is only one reason for
not supporting it-that you do not care
for Pensacola to grow or your business to
increase.
If Pensacola can not get its share of the
unparalleled prosperity with which this
country is now blessed, it might as well
give up hope. If it can not get any ship
yards and cabinet works and factories now.
with money simply begging for invest
ment it might as we'll resign itself to a
future as fishing village, disturbed by
occasional legends of the time when there
were real ships in the harbor, and when
the banks and business houses on Palafox
avenue were not mere hollow shells, but
meant something big.
It is absolutely impossible to stand still,
A city must either advance or go back.
That Pensacola may advance, every pro-
fessional man, every retail merchant, every
wholesale dealer, everybody interested by
land or sea, should join the Chamber of
Commerce which, through their support,
will be able to bring capital here to promote
new industries and enlarge the old.

GovERNoR-ELECT CATS.

Declaring that he has no enemies to
punish, that he will appoint all nominees
and maintain the principles of the Demo
cratic party, and that far from harboring
the fanatical designs imputed to him, his
policy will be broad, philanthropic . and
mo sumptuary or blue laws of New England
will ever find place in my administration, =
Sidney j Cats, in published address to
4 the people Of Florida has made an appeal
for cooperation and state upbuilding that
has struck note of admiration from his
sometime opponents.
1t is to the glory of Americans that they
are quick to forget the harsh things said
during campaign and give their undivided
allegiance to the choice of the majority,
once the issue has been settled. Political
abuse is, indeed, sort of play acting; with
men tearing each others threats out in
public and walking home very amiably
together after it is all over.
That man could have withstood the
terrific assaults made upon Mr.. Cats is
proof of a<strength that promises we'll for
the new governor. There never was a time
when executive courage, coupled with fore
sight, was more needed in Florida than
now-with new era just a-dawn and oul
future to be made or lost in the next few
years. A dominating personality, with Z
vision of upbuilding, can, through the legis
lature and other ways, encourage enter
prise, attract capital and develop the state
and if Sidney 7. Cats is able to work only
a part of the good he promises in his frs
message as governor-elect to the people
of Florida, his administration will, indeed
be notable one.

THE MEXICAN PROBLEM.

In the excitement of the election, the
country almost lost sight of the Mexican
problem. Now the news that foreign resi-
dents of Chihuahua City are fleeing before
a Villa attack, remind us that revolution IS
still rife in our distracted neighbor, and
that American interests are, therefore, I'M
perilled
The Mexican commissioners, who nave
been shilly-shallying the past few months
because of our political situation, must now
oct down to work and discuss some or the
measures by which the United States hopes
to protect its interests and ultimately ben
eft Mexico as well.
Long suffering as it is, American patience
is about exhausted in Mexico, and unless
the Mexican commissioners do something
definite very shortly, they will be sent
about their business while this country
takes the necessary remedial action.

THE SCRATCH PAD
By THOMAS EWING DABNEY.

WHAT'S the use living? Shoestrings
cost dime.
Everybody thinks the country is
prosperous except those who bet on
Hughes.
And Wilson did beat him by close
shave after ALL
Let us not forget that Theodore
thanked the American people.
When men used to meet, they took
drink; now they chew the rag.
AS the colonel sees it, that fellow
Wilson viii be sleeping in his bed for
another four years.
When all is said and done, Hughes
expected to win by a plurality of a
million dollars.
The wasp" and the Hornet have
already been here, and now shipping
circles are looking forward to the
arrival of the "Cricket."
The democrats have majority in
congress and the senate; but it's
mighty close. Still, Wilson is major
ity enough in himself.
Among the other remarkable things
about this election should be mention
ed the fact that both sides celebrated
victory.
Doubtless Utah went for Wilson as
atonement for having gone for Taft
four years ago; but what shall we
say of Vermont, the other state that
did so, and which has not yet re-
pented?
"Girl is made a bride in three min

State Press Comment
Boys Club Success

The Washington county corn club
boys have finished the work this year.
The contest was held in Chipley, We'd
nesday, and according to Mr.. Nc
Quarrie, the demonstration agent, the
highest yield, 81 bushels, and the, av-
erage yield was $50 per acre. This
is fine showing and should encour-
age other boys to enter the contest
next year. Judging by the samples
altogether the corn is exceptionally
good. A good crowd was present and
altogether they had most enjoyable
day. The premiums offered were
awarded to the winners in the contest
but lack of space precludes giving
their names this week.-Chipley Ver-

Action Needed

AcI1Ou Needed
Much has been heard of late con-
corning the number of fish that are
dying along the coast, the theory
having been advanced that this is due
to some under sea eruption or some
other cause which has resulted in the
formation of deadly gases in the wa
ter, causing the death of the fish.
Now, however, another theory and a
genuinely plausible reason for the
death of the fish has been found, two
reputable fishermen reporting that
they found five miles of stop-nets in
Matlacha pass and that they waited
until the stop-net crew appeared on
the scene and saw them take what
fish they wanted and leave the others
to wash ashore or be carried out by
the tides.
Here appears to be little work fo1
the Roamer and for the courts. This
ruthless destruction of fish should be
stopped and stopped Immediately. Il
this kind of thing is allowed to con-
tinue the fish industry will be ruined
before one has time to realize what
has happened. Let's have a stop put
to this illegal stop-net fishing and il
there are no laws on the statute books
