PLANT SOME CATTLE

Cattle raising in Florida has al
ready been proven a feasible and a
profitable industry. That its future is
one of great promise is indicated
in dispatch sent out few days ago
from Washington summarizing the
department of argriculture's report
on the increasing cost of meat, and
prospect for still higher prices, and
giving the reason for further adj
vances.
This economic question is one of
vital interest to the farmers of Flor
ida. Beef is the luxury now, not the
succulent citrus fruit or the tender
vegetable. We must beve meat and
to get it we must raise our share, or
more than our share, as tie natural
advantages of this state contribute to
the obligation placed upon US, not
only for our own well being, but for
that of the rest of the country.
To the Florida grower who is un-
easy over changed. conditions and who
trembles each year for the fate of his
crop of citrus fruit, celery, tomatoes,
or other vegetables, subject to the I'M
certainties of floods and frosts, this
report hsould be message of hope.
Meat is high because the supply of
cattle is not enough to feed the in
creased population. The economic
truth is so plain that it cannot be
Observation-Disclosures people and less

We have had a school of ecghomic
teachers in this country who work al
ways on the prejudices of the people.
and who have blatantly contended
that the packers are responsible for
| the high cost of meat. For a dozen
| years the packers have been under
| the scrutiny and supervision of the
government-they have had no Sc
crets. Their books have been open to
investigation after investigation and
the government inspectors work as
regularly in the packing plants as do
the employees. But high meat is due
to scarce cattle.
Within the last few months one of
the largest packing concerns in the
world has bought train load after
train load of cattle in this state
Those who have sold it have beer
richly rewarded for their labors in
raising it. They have gone into the
business on more extensive scale and
with the tick eradication begun, in
surfing the raising of marketable
steers, sows and calves for the mar
kets of the country at a very low
cost at a comparatively high market
price, it will be the fault Of The
growers themselves if they do no
turn their waste laplS TO account.

CHARTER BOARD PLAN
is DISAPPROYED

Editor of The Journal:
The modern tendency of city gov
eminent is toward simplicity and pub
lefty. That the city is but big bus
mess in which the people are the
stock holders is the generally accept
ed belief
The first step in the practical de-
velopment of this idea was to central
ize responsibility. Those who remem-
Der the difficulty of locating respon-
sibility under a government with coli
mittees, boards and satellites reanze
the need along this line.
This resulted in the so-called "com-
mission form Of government" which
all of the functions of government,
Legislative, judicial, and executive
were united in single group of men,
composed of never less than three and
seldom over five, all under salary and
presumed to give entire time to the
city's welfare.
This was a distinct advance, but
the difficulty of finding men who
could make good executives, as well
as lawmakers and judges, together
with the capacity of winning out po-
liticalIy, showed the weakness Of the
plan.
The next step has been the carry
ing out the acceptances of the belief
that the city was but big business
! to its logical conclusion and letting
the city elect its board of directors
who shall serve with none or very
small, compensation; but who shall
/ have the legislative and judicial pow
/ er in the city. These directors, as in
a private business viii appoint man
to be the chief executive, who shall
b chosen. not for his ability to gel

DEVELOPING OUR NAVY YARD.

The same Preparedness Propaganda which
has already borne fruit in the largest army
and navy appropriation in the history of
the United Staes, will develop our Aero
nautic Station to the limit.
According to a telegram just received,
four hundred and twenty thousand dollars
have been appropriated to cover the storm
damage at the station and rebuild along
better lines.
The remarkable thing is that only $3.50
900 was asked. Of course the damage
didn't amount to anything like that; but it
IS bad business simply to replace. To re-
lay the planking of the piers, for instance
would be very simple thing and compare
lively inexpensive. To erect a dozen or so
new electric light poles and splice the
wires would not cost much. But the pier
is to be built higher-to be made absolutely
safe. And the entire wiring is to be put I'M
foreground. -.
These are only two of many contemplat-
ed improvements, for which S250,000 was
asked
And $4,000 was appropriated. 1t
looks as if Congress is at last awaking to
the Importance of aeronautics in general
and the Pensacola station in particular
England, to give only one instance, has
nearly. 300 hydroaeroplanes; the United
States few dozen. Congress evidently is
beginning to see great white light The
demonstrated security of Pensaco1a's har-
Dor during the recent storm, which wrought
such devastation in other places has also
been a revelation to the powers-that-be

not because of faction or kinship, but
for his executive ability, technical
training and his ability to manage a
business such as a municipality must

Getty manager" plan of government,
the last word in charter making, at
this time, but if an Improvement upon
the present government is desired, it
would seem to be the province of the
charter board to submit such a plan
adapted to the needs of the city, rath-
er than a compromise composite which
may pass, but which in its entirety
seems to be no improvement, not only
of the present form, but upon the old
aldermanic form of government.
If, however, the charter board be-
lieves it best to submit the proposed
plan, / would suggest that opportun-
ity be given for adoption or rejection
by sections, that the full will Of the
people be noted.

THE SCRATCH PAD
BY THOMAS EWING DABNEY.

There are times when we think
we are not as wise as we think we
are. We visited a watermelon farm
the other day with j. H. Smithwick-
in broad dayight-and he found a
great, big melon and gave it to us.
We were deeply grateful, It was
long and shaped like a Zeppelin and
originally weighed about fifty
pounds; but put on weight at an
alarming rate, and before we had
reached the automobile, which was
about half mile away, it felt like
an apartment house on our shoulder.
We set that melon down, mopped
our brow, and looked around, and
there was Smithwick coming into
port with a cantaloupe in his hand!
No Imogen, Carranza does not
write those notes himself. A man
with whiskers like that hasn't any

Did it rain ?" said the country
man. Rain! Boss, I'm telling you;
it rained so hard the night of the
storm it put out all the lightning

he first killed her and then COM

happy ending.

this country to Germany, we may

year or so.

CLEANUP WEEK.

Pensacola needs cleanup week. Our
city is so beautiful, and we take such
pride in it, that we should make it model
of the Spick-and- Span; with our location,
spotless town can easily be realized
While we are cleaning up the last debris
of the storm, lets rout out all the old tin
cans we can find, and get rid of every bit
of trash possible. If everybody turns in
and lends hand, what wonderful results
we will have. What clean town. the
tourists will say-and the advertising value
of that one line, repeated throughout the
United States will simple be incalculable
A clean town means clean people.
The week beginning Monday, July "a
will probably be desigated as cleanup
week Mayor Hinrichs favors the idea,
as indeed every public spirited man must.
One of the greatest benefits will be clean
ing up the weeds in vacant lots, and on the
the premises of certain shiftless people.
Last summer little child at play on Gar
der street was bitten by snake and died
had the weeds in that vicinity been cut the
accident might not have occurred. The
weed condition of the sign-board lots is
especially deplorable. The city ordinance
which requires property owners to cut
weeds and in the event of their refusal,
gives the city authority to have them cut
and take lien on the property to cover
the cost, should be rigidly enforced.
Let's make Pensacola model of clean
illness and beauty

BUSINESS IS FINE.

Official reports from financial experts in
all parts of the United States show business
in this country is good.
The war in Europe and the sudden
activity in preparing our own country for
trouble in Mexico have given tremendous
impetus to many industries.
Everywhere bank clearings show a
healthy increase. Notwithstanding
and engineering steadily increasing.
Railroads and postoffices-east, west,
north and south-report increase in re-
ceipts ranging from ten to fifty per cent.
The money market is firm and in almost
every section rates are increasing.
Foreign trade is growing in all districts
Manufacturers are unable to fill their
orders.
Knowing these things, let us synpathize
with the poor republicans; they will have
to talk about the weather in their campaign
speeches, for the Democratic prosperity is
simply too absolute for even politician to

ANOTHER BLOW AT
THE PROPOSED PLAN.

Editor of The Journal:
What the voters of this city want,
and what they expected to get when
they signed the petition calling for
the election of a Charter Board, is
the right to decide at the polls who
shall serve as their city officers. For
three years they have tried the mon
archial scheme of allowing three
commissioners to do their voting for
them. To give this power to a board
Of ten instead of three will not sat
isfy the voters. They want to do
their own voting. The pay all the
officers salaries, and they want the
first and last say as to who those
officers shall be.
If the Charter Board is of the
opinion that the male voters are not
to be trusted, then let it strip them
(like it did the LADIES' of all suffrage
and give to Governor Cats and his
successors the right to select our
city officials.
