actual example of a true servant making
personal sacrifice for the people"
But Mr.. Knott does not need the trib-
utes of the press to make him Governor Of
the state of Florida His record speaks
for itself. He has been closely identified
with the development of Florida and has
been connected with county and state Of
ficial life almost continuously since 1885.
Early in his public career he was commits
stoned by Governor Mitchell to do some ex-
pert auditing of county offices and records.
His service in this special work was so sat-
isfactory and so beneficial to the state that
it later developed into an appointment,
now known as state auditor In 1901 he
was offered the office of State Comptroller
refused, in spite of the increase in salary
which would have gone with the position,
in order that he might bring the work in
which he was engaged up to its highest
efficiency. At the end of six years service
he accepted the appointment of State Treas
urer, upon the resignation of Hon. J. B.
Whitfield. He held this office for nine
years without opposition, and resigned to
accept the appointment of State Comptroll-
er in 1912, where, by the vote of the people
he again also succeeded himself without OPP
position.
The public record of Mr.. Knott is an
open and worthy one, and his private life
is irreproachable. The people of the state
have shown their confidence in him and
again during the past eighteen years, and
by the succession of honors which they
have bestowed upon him have shown that
they agree with Milton A. Smith, who said
of him: "The American people are fast
finding out that it is political folly to fill
offices with designing and unscrupulous
politicians. All interests are sure to suffer
under such man. But no Florida inter
est would suffer under the executive guild
ance of William V. Knott"

VoX POPULI
SHOULD CONSIDER WOMEN
ON CITY CHARTER BOARD
NNNANeNNNNAANNN :

Editor Pensacola Journal:
Would it not be a good idea for
the new charter board talked Of to
have some women included In its
membership. How it could be done
l do not exactly know, as women are
not considered to be rational human
beings, and are not citizens. But It
seems some way could be devised to
let in on the management of the city
very important part of the COM
munity.
The Miami people were contem-
plating an amendment of the city
charter by which women were to be
admitted into the rights Of citizen
ship, so far as sharing in the gov
eminent of the city was concerned.
AS the parody Of the good old song
runs:
eff body pays the taxes, surely
you'll agree
Everyone should have the ballot,
whether he or she.
Every man now has the ballot,
None they say have we;
Yet we have brains, and we can use
them
| Just as well as he"
Women will vote if allowed to do
so, in as great proportion to their
number as men. In Chicago Sc per
cent of the registered women's vote
was cast; SO per cent of the mems,
only two per cent difference in favor
of the men. According to Father
Maloy of New Zealand, even the nuns
of his country do not consider it I'M
feminine to vote. Do not neglect
their schools or their prayers by their
presence at the polls, but appreciate
the advantage of having a voice in
the government under which they
must live.
Now that we are to have a char
ter board, let it really represent the
community, not half of it

Taking a City Government
Out of Politics

Recently at the Hotel Astor in New
York, before a thousand dinner guests,
Mayor Mitchell made a report on the work
of the administration, during the course of
which, he said
Partisan politics have been eliminated
With the city government out of politics
and politics out of the city government, we
have been free to devote our entire attention
to the stupendous business of governing
this great city"
In introducing Mayor Mitchell, Norman
Hapgood, said: I am not going to talk Of
what he has done, for he will do that
am going to speak of what we have not
done and what we should do during the
next year and six months Mayor Nit
chell has not been Republican Mayor, or
Democratic Mayor, or a Bull Moose
Mayor He has been in office neither
Catholic nor Protestant, neither Jew nor
Gentle He has been mayor not of blonde
or brunette, but mayor of all the citizen
ship, fair to all and partial to none"
During the term of office of Mayor Nit
chell, the first representative of fusion" in
the administration of a city's affairs, the
economies in the administrative depart
ments of the city resulted in net decrease
of 81, 533, 558 in the budget of 1915 as com
pared with 1914, and in a further decrease
of 81, 592,346 for 1916 as compared with
1915.
Taking politics out of the city govern
ment and the city government out of poll
tics has meant more than the saving of
millions to the city of New York
Of Mayor Mitchell the New York Even
ing Post says, editorially:
The Mayoralty of New York means
for him the Msyoralty of New York,
not steppingstone to the Governor
ship or the Presidency, nor yet means
of promoting any mans ambitions Of
any party's prospects. Having once
got the city government into the hands
of men who go about it in this spirit,
it should be the firm resolve of the cit
liens of New York that it shall never
be permitted to fall back upon plane
less worthy of its immense impor-
lance
