Inherited Wealth Secures
a Peerage for Mr.. Aston.

Following the annual custom Eng
land published at the beginning of the
new year the list of ''honorso con-
ferred and we find in this list the
names of two former Americans,
Waldorf Astor and William Shaugh-
messy. The title of baron has been
conferred upon each and they are
thus entitled to seats in the house of
lords, position which is desired by
many rich Americans, but secured by
few.
There may be some reason for con-
ferring the title upon Mr.. Shaugh-
messy, for he has accomplished some
thing. He renowned his American
citizenship because of the fact that
upon the death of another American,
William Van Horne, he became the
ruling spirit in the Canadian Pacific
Railroad. His peerage therefore is a
mark of appreciation on the part of
his adopted country for great service
to the empire. He has accomplished
something as builder. He has oper-
ated one of the greatest railways in
the world in manner that reflects
credit upon him as a man.
But what of Mr.. Aston? What has
he ever accomplished in life2 His
new dignity is not the symbol of SER
vice, for he has done nothing for
which a public could be thankful, ex-
cepting to bestow some of his inner
tied wealth upon societies and in such
a manner as to attract attention. He
did not accumulate this wealth, but
secured it because an ancestor had
the common sense and business acu-
men necessary to grasp opportunities
presented him.
Mr.. Astor renowned his American
citizenship because he preferred the
social conditions of English life,
coupled with an ambition to found a
titled family. He has distributed
money with lavish hand, but his
sgood right hand earned none of this
money. He attracted the attention of
the titled Britishers through his eager
desire to aid them in their financial
troubles and gained theirIfriendship
by tossing millions at tNet feet.
He was accepted afteaIa time by
English society and has how received
that for which he spent his millions.
He has won his way to a barony, but
he did not secure it through merit or
by industry.

SAYS MACHINE COSTS
ONLY $500; NOT $3.50
~~A~~~ANAA~~AAA

Editor Pensacola Journal.
In today's issue of The Journal we
notice the report of the proceedings
of the board of county commissioners
is somewhat mixed, and in justice to
ourselves, as one of the parties criti-
cised, we feel that a statement of
facts is necessary.
The discussion last night arose
when we asked the board for in
structions regarding combined road
scarifer and grader that had been
placed here for demonstration, and,
as a matter of fact, our road expert
had rebuilt the Barrancas road with
it without any expense to the county
in the operation of the machine,
which is valued at $4,000 and not
$6,125.00, as reported. This machine
is the latest improved combination for
rebuilding roads, and is being now
used by large number of progress
sive counties at a great saving in road
work. Montgomery county, Alabama,
has two in daily operation, and while
at the Spanish Trail convention, we
were shown one at work on the Mo-
bile county roads by Mr.. Fisher, the
civil engineer in charge, who stated
that they could not get along with
out it. The price asked for the ma
chine is the same as Mobile county
paid, and is the manufacturers stand
ard price to all.
Montgomery county, Alabama, one
of the leading counties in road i'm
provement, has purchased within the
last two years six large trucks, at an
average cost of 100000 each, eigh-
teen trailers at $475.00 each, two
Mammoth sacrifers at $4,000 each,
besides the regular road equipment,
which will bear out our statement
that before we can ever expect to
have good roads and maintain them
economically, the county must equip
themselves with some modern ma
chinery and get away from the 'tnig-
ger, pick and shovel" plan.
This company has for some time
realized the necessity of good roads
for our county, as we believe our adj
vancement as an agricultural district
depends on them, and with this in
view over two years ago we added to
our organization good road expert,
who has spent 2 great deal of time
in the interest of our roads, and has
given our county board the benefit of
his experience, at all times, without
expense to them, our idea being that
the expense incurred would be more
than equaled by the improvement
made, which would allow a larger
number of our farmers to do their
trading in Pensacola.
We are also In position to know
that Escambia county has not paid
more for the few improved road ma
chimes bought than other counties

not evidence enough to convict him.
He left the country and wandered in

Epidemic of Grip
Spreads Over Country.

An epidemic of grip has spread
over the country. It has caused
much sickness and many deaths in
the larger cities of the East and
North, and recent reports show that
it has spread as far South as Mem
phis, Louisville and Birmingham
Health authorities seem somewhat
uncertain as to the cause of the grip
and why it is spreading SO rapidly
over the country, and they are also
at a loss to determine really whether
it is the grip or just something else.
No one seems able to tell just when
you have the grip or what other thing
that is troubling you. The grip may
be the by-product of cold, or neu-
ralgic pains or some stomach troubles.
Or the grip may be the chief trouble
and these other unpleasant manifes-
tations may be grip symptoms.

But regardless of all this, it is well
for all to be careful. Don't sneeze or
cough without catching your own
germs in your handkerchief. Get all

war on the first symptoms of bron-

VIRGINIA LUMBERMEN
COMPLAIN OF RATES

Washington, Jan. 5.-Pine lumber
manufacturers in Virginia, North and
South Carolina today complained to
the interstate commerce commission
that the freight rate on their products
from Norfolk, Richmond, Roanoke,
and other points TO Pittsburg and
points in that territory are unjust
and unreasonable compared with the
rates on lumber from Tennessee, Ala
bama, Mississippi and other Southern
states.

T was evidently the tone and method
OF the new party rather than its
rightly In principle or consistency in
action that had taken the fancy OF the
country.
It used power as freely, and stretched
the constitution with as little compuno-
ton in the using, as the Federalists be-
fore it.
Though for a little while after its FIRST
elevation to the place of government it
had rallied IN good set terms against the
constitution itself, because it prevented
the removal of obnoxious judges by
mere address Of the two houses; had
wished impeachment to be regarded as
a political, not as q judicial process; and
had tried to use 1t to subordinate the
courts to the political control Of the
President, it had soon forgotten that
madness, and had used a very different
tone in most things.
1t had voted money to build a great
national road through the Cumberland
Gap into the West, as readily as Federal
lists would have voted 1t, and with almost
as little doubt or scruple as to constttu-
donal powers.
What had seemed a BIT OF treason
against the government In the West
had been snuffed out as promptly and
