These men had again and again petit

but Congress had refused to relax the

In Missouri there was no such bar.
Slave owners could take up lands there

Every Citizen Should
Attend Tonight's Meeting.

Every citizen of Pensacola should
attend tonight's meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce at the San
Carlos hotel. Not only should every
member Of that organization be pres
emit, but every resident who has the
welfare of Pensacola at heart should
be there, for matters of far-reaching
Importance to Pensacola and West
Florida will be considered and some
plan mapped out whereby Pensacola
can claim that which is justly hers
by reason of her advantages over any
other port on the South Atlantic or
Gulf coasts.
Every port from Galveston to New
York is claiming it is the advan-
tageous location for one of the new
craving docks which Admiral Stan
ford has said is necessary. While
Pensacola has sent forward infor-
nation that cannot be disputed and
which clearly demonstrates that she
is the one port on the Gulf where
such q dock caasaa built and operated
at any time throughout the year, it
Is still very necessary that some
other steps be taken, for Galveston,
New Orleans and Mobile are bring
ing strong pressure to bear in their
respective interests.
Pensacola should be represented IN
Washington during the entire period
that navy extension is being consid-
cred. Properly handled it is be-
lieved the naval committees of the
Senate and House win be forced to
admit Pensacola's superiority and
give to this port what is justly hers.
To secure craving dock and a
navy yard of the first-class, work
of an intelligent and systematic
character will be necessary. If PEN
sacola does not claim her own, then
some port with inferior advantages
will step in and take it from her.
It is very necessary that all citi-
zens respond to the call and attend
tonight's meeting.

POLITICS AND
POLITICIANS.
None Indispensable

None Indispensable
If the argument is sound that the
longer man of fair ability and good
character stays in Congress the
more useful he is to his constituents
and consequently the more need
there is for keeping him there, then
his reelection as long as he lives
and wants the job is merely mat
ter of form and it is useless for any
other citizen to seek the office. He
has life cinch on it and in his case
our elective system serves merely
to renew his title every two years,
and all trespassers are warned off
his premises. But American polit-
ical history is sprinkled with in
stances innumerable to show that
when a congressman got to think
ing that way about 1t, old Vox
Populi, jealous of his rights, put the
toe of his heavy hob-nailed boots
right under that congressman's coat
tail and catapulted him back into
private life. And something of that
kind is very likely to happen in the
First Congressional district of Flor
ida along about next June. No con-
gresham was ever yet so useful that
he was indispensable, and when he
gets to thinking that he is, the psy-
Geological moment to retire him has
arrived.-Lakeland Telegram.

w anus " nAA . OASdAS
The Times is in receipt Of nice
letter from Hon. Perry G. Wall, of
Tampa, candidate for United States
Senator. He tells us that he expects
to be in Santa Rosa county in the
near future, and that he will, of
course, call to see us. We shall GER
tainly be glad to see him, for we can
not honestly say that we are particu-
larIy "stuck' on those we have seen
thus far who are making the race.
Now, Mr.. Wall, when you come over
this way, don't you even think, when
you stop over in Milton that you have
been all over Santa Rosa county, for
you haven't by jugful. There are a

Hudson,s Fine Sense-

Tt is worth mentioning in connec-
ton with current politics in Florida,
high ideals, ETC., that Senator Hud-
son, candidate for governor, resigned
his fine, fat job of attorney for the
railroad commission at a salary of
Sc, 900 per annum before he got in
the race. 1t is not always necessary
to do thing of this kind, nor even
essentially right and proper, for a
man can be candidate for one of
flee while holding another without
any impeachment of his clean char
acter and conduct, but the action of
Senator Hudson shows how fine is
his sense of propriety and it will
probably make him some votes in his
gubernatorial candidacy. - Lakeland

Church to Celebrate
Coming Of Thanksgiving

Conforming to long established Gus
tom the First Congregational church
will celebrate on Sunday in both morn
ing and evening service the advent of
Thanksgiving day, day which came
from the Congregationalch and its
people This is the time of year when
Congregationalists remember their glor
ious history, remember that they have
given America q government "of the
people," by the people, for the people,
and have brought this democracy to all
English speaking peoples; have devel-
oped a free press and an enlightened
public opinion, have given us a sys-
TEN of free public schools, and crown
ed hilltop and adorned prairie with
colleges and centered its universities in
great cities; have separated church
from state and given freedom for the
normal growth of conscience and oppor-
tunity for the widest expansion of in
tellect; have refounded and glorified
the home; have brought forth the fin
est Christian manhood and womanhood
the world has ever seen; have pro
claimed Christ as the Saviour of the
world, brought healing to the sick and
comfort TO the destitute and carried the
gospel of Jesus to all the shores of the
world. Congregationalism halts at no
obstacles, shrinks from no burdens be-
lives in God, calls ever for more light
and goes ahead. The future is pledged
to this spirit as the past is luminous
with it. Appropriate indeed there will
be the subjects on Sunday. In the morn
in, "The Old Puritanism and the New
Age" and in the evening, "Today
Day of Opportunity" with sermons to
be preached by the pastor of the church.
The message of Congregationalism to-
day is message of practical helpful
ness, of cheer and encouragement.
The evening address will be followed
by some splendid pictures of the Pan
ANA canal showing the magnificent part
electricity has played in this great Am
erican achievement, and revealing the
tremendous obstacles that have been
overcome. Two reels of film will be
used in illustrating the canal in all its
workings.

Along with the many other good
things that are being said about Salem
as model city, it is noticeable fact
that new life is manifesting itself
among the churches, that are taking the
lead in this movement Those who have
attended service at st. Paul s Episcopal
church, corner Chemeketa and Church
streets, have of late observed the mark
ed increase in attendance, not only
among the parishioners, but many
strangers have been noticed in the con-
gregation. As a matter of taking ad-
vantage OF this revival of church in
terest, special efforts have been put
gregations and swell the regular attend
ance to proportion not heretofore ex-
perienced.
Every Episcopalian in Salem will at
tend the services of the church next
Sunday, if the plansrof the administra-
tion materialiZe one hundred per cent.
November Goth has been designated as
Churchman'S Stir-up Sunday and
efforts are being made to reach and
hold the attention of every member of
the congregation. Not only this, but
with the idea of offering the stranger
every inducement possible to> join in
these services, special features are be-
ing plannd
One of the most interesting features
will be renewal of the batismal vows
on the part of the laity, and the re-
newal of ordination VOWS on the part
of the rector, the Rev, Robert s. Gill.
Special music is being prepared by the
vtsed choir, which is well organized,
and has received splendid commenda-
tion.
The hours of service are as usual. The
rector will preach at both midday and
evening services, further announcement
of which will be found under regular
church notices in this issue.
A hearty welcome is promised to all
who help to fill st. Paul's TO over
flowing capacity, not only with the
opening of stir-up service next Sunday,
but every Sunday.

How strange it is in these hurried
days people forget what the real
thanksgiving is.
What are you most thankful for :
Some women have answered, 81 feel
so thankful because / have succeeded
so well, or al am thankful for my po-
sition," "for friends, money, books,
opportunities" the list is endless.
Is it just our prosperity, friends and
our own good thanksgiving dinner that
fills our hearts with Thanksgiving
Its always easy to forget the folks
around the corner. 1t matters little to
us, in the final analysis, how desper-
ate their struggle for respectability
may be. Our thanksgiving spirit is so
complacent. 1t fails to remember, over
steaming turkey, edged with rich
dressing and accompanied by suffi-
cient cranberry sauce, those other din
ners of stale bread and tea. We are
grateful for our friends. But how
much thought do we give to the girl
who is friendless simply because she
has no opportunities to know what
friendlness mcans2
There are thousands of girls work
ing hard to be respectable who have
not enough to eat, and thousands OF
Others who want something more in
their lives than enough to eat and n
place to sleep. But we have heard this
statement so often il hardly registers
anywhere on our preoccupied brains.
"Oh, but, - we answer easily enough
eve have thought about these girls
sometimes. We have visited hospitals
and read to the old ladies at the Old
Peoples Home" Yes, but have we
ever done any thing really vital to
cnange the conditions of their lives,
that they may be thankful too! Or
have we only tossed them bunch OF
pretty flowers that cost us nothing in
time or strength or life TO give and
expect them to forget their hunger and
pain and loncliiessl Have we put
more than a friendly finger under the
burdens of our sisters who Climb the
weary way beside us. ] wondered how
we dared be thankful without that.
The true spirit in Thanksgiving is
not in what we have, for that would
be selfish contentmcnt. The true Chris
tian spirit is in helping Others to
tighten their burdens and TO help them
to be thankful for the qualltles OF
greatness in others.
