citation of it's beneficence, Will cause
thoughtful business men to vote to
keep in the White House the man
who secured this legislation which
has succeeded so wonderfully. that
those who opposed its passage are
now its strongest supporters.
To that epoch-making legislation
the congress adds a rural credit act.
For years European countries have
made provision whereby long-term
loans could be made to farmers. This
country has been deaf to the demand
for such provision here until the Viii
son administration, after careful
study of the workings of such meas
ures in other countries, to draft an
act that will be another reason why
the voters will vote for Wilson.
Legislation, just to labor, has won

millions who now enjoy better wages
and steady employment see in. Wilson
the Just friend of every measure that
wise labor advocates support.
About preparedness, what? The
democrats go ahead preparing, while
the republicans talk about it. The
republicans have been in power six
teen years. Under their rule the
army was reduced, Notifications were
not provided, and the navy went to
third and fourth place. Already the
Wilson policies have done more to in
crease and strengthen the army in
three wears than the republicans did

for the Wilson administration to in
corporate it into law. The falling
off of import duties during the war
has demonstrated not only the wisdom
of depending largely upon the income
tax for national needs, but also the
absolute necessity of relying upon
this new source. Not only has the
country accepted the principle that
wealth should contribute more large
ly to national expenditures, but ex-
perience has shown that without the
income tax the treasury would not
have been able to meet the demands
upon it. .....
When Wilson came into office, the
same financial legislation enacted one
hundred years ago was on the statute
books. Though bankers and business
men had. urged system that would
prevent panics in periods of prosper
ity, nothing had been done. Why?
Because republican leaders would per-
nit no legislation except the Aldrich
plan, and wise republicans joined
with democrats and progressives to
secure the federal reserve act-the
best piece of constructive legislation
of fifty years. In the period of fl
nancial collapse all over the world,
that act and i%s wise y,1iuistratior
have served to prevent any money
panic or money famine in America.
To whom does the country owe the
debt for financial stability and free

mentioned the familiar Plaza, the

the Wilson navy bill will be so much
bigger and better than any former
bills as to convince the American peo-
pie that the hope of our republic be-
ing strong upon the seas depends
chiefly upon a retention of a demo
cratic administration.
Mr.. Roosevelt said, when he was
president, that we could not have
successfully won the sea battles of
the Spanish-American war but for
the ships built in the Cleveland adj
ministration. The spirit of the Will
son administration toward the navy is
manifested in better organizations, in
creased personnel and in bigger
fighting machines, which will shortly
carry our navy to a place where 1t
can adequately defend the American
shores and American interests.
Progress! That has been the key
word of the Wilson administration.
Progress in performance. When the
democratic platform is contrasted
with the republican platform, it will
be seen that the one upon which Will

national policy of keeping free from
"entangling alliances" the president
has won the greatest victory of blood
less diplomacy in the history of our
country. There were divided counsels
in the halls of legislation, in the press
and among the people. But President
Wilson, who, as he says Of himself,
81 have a single-barrel mind" saw
that above everything else the preser-
walton of American rights upon the
seas must be preserved, even in the
midst of the world war. With an
eye single to this supreme duty, the
president has pursued the policy
which even his severest critics, unin-
fluenced by partisan considerations,
have come to approve and applaud.
Not once, but a million times, has the
prayer gone up in the days of crises:
Thank God that Woodrow Wilson is

Promises butter no parsnlps." The
progressives promised federal trade
board and tariff commission to study
all questions relating to tariff taxa

tax. Their party was defeated, but
the democratic administration carries
out these three reforms The fight
for an income tax was long and up
hill one. Under the leadership Of
Mr.. Hughes (now candidate for pres
ident), the republicans fought the i'm
come tax, and their leaders did every
thing in their power to prevent that
fair method of taxation. 1t remained

wherein the citizens in that particular
neighborhood take much pride. Con-
crete walks lead from corner to cor
ner, centering at beautiful fountain,
above which is a stand of lights,
which, illuminated nightly, converts
Grenada Square into a thing of beau
ty. 1t is a popular playground for
the children, and scores may. be seen
therein almost any warm afternoon.
Roses in abundance grow in this park,
and the commissioners see to it that
it is given the most careful protection.
This probably takes its name from
the city of Granada, Spanish town,
pronounced 'granatha.' There is a
town in Nicaragua of the same name.
Havana Square.
Havana Square is that space from
LaRua to Belmont, and between Six
teenth and Seventeenth avenues. 1t
is also known as Florida Square.
Kupfrian's Park.
Kupfrian's Park is situated at the
end of N and ] streets, corner of
Lloyd. 1t is just beyond the city
limits, and is widely known becaure
of the circular race trace there, also
it is the site of the Escambia County
Agricultural Fair.
La Maucha Square.
La Mancha Square is located and
defined on the city map as that ter
ritory from Cross to Fifteenth streets,
between Fourteenth and Fifteenth
avenues. This probably takes its
name from La Mancha, an old prov
ince of Spain, at present mapped as
part of Ciudad Real.

another name, both Of which are used
on the city maps. 1t is the beautiful
downtown park bounded by Palafox,
jefferson, Government and Zarragossa
streets. It is said there are upward
of forty different kinds of trees in
this square, and pecan, orange, lemon,
English walnut and kumquat trees
are in the hearing stage. This park
has always received the lions share
of attention, and very few people
will be found to make objection TO
any and sill the work possible there,
for it is the downtown beauty spot
of the city, both winter and summer.
Tourist and citizen alike delight to
pass many hours on the iron benches
strewn plentifully about the Plaza.
CordOva.
Cordova Park is the East Hill play
grounds. 1t is situated with bounda-
ries of Brainard and Gonzalez streets
on the north and south, and Eleventh
and Twelfth avenues on the west and
east. This park probably takes its
name from Cordoba, a Spanish prov
ince. There is a city in the state of
Vera Cruz, Mexico, named Cordoba.
This is beautifully situated park,
on two paved thoroughfares, and is
popular playground. A baseball
diamond, and tennis court are laid
out, and hardly an afternoon in the
summer time passes but that there
are crowds of youngsters engaged in
baseball or kindred games at Cordova
Park.
Estramadura Square.
Estramadura Square is an unim-
proved park in the extreme north
eastern part of the city. 1t is bound
ed on the east and west respectively
by Fifteenth and Sixteenth avenues,
and on the north and south by Sierra
and Hernandez streets. This square
probably takes its name from Estre-
madura, old Spain, now the territory
occupied by the provinces of Badajoz
and Caceres.

(The talk at the st. Louis Conven-
ton was not, at any time, whom the
democrats should nominate, but was
how Wilson set about to defeat
Hughes. The most important of the
presidents representatives at the con-
vention was, no doubt, Josephus Dan

respondent of this newspaper asked
Daniels to write for our readers what

why Wilson should be elected over

What is Anericanism, and how has

the days since the European war gave
a new meaning to that term?
That is the question every Ameri-

it to his satisfaction he will look to
deeds, and not promises. During the

Why is man and woman, half the

II we all would practice inside-bath-
ing. what a gratifying change would
take place. Instead of thousands of
half-sick, misunderstanding souls with
pasty, muddy compilations we should
see crowds of happy. healthy, rosy
checked people everywhere. The rea-
son Is that the human system does not
rid itself each day, of all the waste
which II accumulates under our pres
ent mode Of living. For every ounce
of food and drink taken into the sys-
tenn nearly an ounce Of waste material
must be carried out else it ferments
and forms ptomaine-like poisons which
are absorbed into the blood.
