OUR CITY GOVERNMENT
WHAT THE PIE oPLE THINK.

thank you to publish the address be-
low, regarding the city manager plan.
Now I would recommend this kind
of government for the city Of Pen
sacola, except changes that would be
necessary, as Atlanta is a much
larger city, the salary of the man
ager would not have to be so large,
and twelve eouncilmen, instead of
fifteen.
believe the very best man pos
sible should be employed, and paid
salary large enough to make it
worth his while, from $4,000 to $1,000
per year, if it requires this much to
get good man. I think the nearer
a city is managed like a great cor
poration the better off it win be.
Address of Mr.. Alex w. Smith;
''The city manager plan is one that
is attracting the widest attention
now. Under this plan Atlanta would
have council of say fifteen mem
bers. They would elect city man
ager directly responsible to them.
"They would fire him at any time
and hire another. He should draw q
salary of about $4,000 per year and
do nothing but manage the city's az,
fairs. Members of the council coulc
be elected from the city-at-large anC
there would be no ward lines excep
for convenience of voting by pre-
cincts.
'Their candidacy would be by petit
tion, with perhaps two per cent of tn,
voters required before a man coult
enter a race. The councilmen would
be paid nominal salary"
Thanking you, am,
Yours very tuly,
VIM. R. JOHNSON.

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

The Democratic platform? Rather the
Platform of Americanism!
Of course there were a number of planks
every platform has got to have planks
But the Democratic fight in one word will
be simply to continue the prosperity of
the past four years.
When Wilson first entered the White
House the country was hampered by spe-
cia1 privileges, a vicious tariff, obsolete
banking laws an inelastic currency, and
one-sided system of taxation There are
many things yet to correct; many improve
ments yet to be made-otherwise there
would be no use in the Democrats being
in the field at all !; but the fact remains that
our business is better now than it ever
was, that our commerce is growing out of
all bounds, that the balance of trade in Our
favor is greater than ever before that our
crops never brought such high prices.
The Republicans may talk-that's all
they can debut these are facts, and facts
are stubborn thingsl
The Democratic platform is simply a
question of Americanisrt1, which is the
thing to remember now above all when for
eign-born agitation is taking such an &C
tive part in our politics. Says the plank
on Americanism:
eve condemn all alliances and com
binations of individuals in this coun-
try, of whatever nationality or de
scent, who agree and conspire together
for the purpose of embarrassing or
weakening our government or of inn
properly influencing or coercing our
public representatives in dealing or
negotiating with any foreign power.
We charge that such conspiracies
among limited number exist and
have been instigated for the purpose of
advancing the interests of foreign
countries to the prejudice and detri-
ment of Our own country. We con
denim any political party which in view
of the activity of such conspirators
surrenders its integrity or modifes its
policy.
This will be understood by all red
blooded, true-blue Americans!

IMPROVE THE PARKS.

Pensacola, unique in so many things; is
paradise of parks.
Elsewhere in this issue is an article de
scribing the score or so of public parks
and squares in our city The Plaza with
its forty varieties of trees; Bayview on the
water; Lee Square with its towering mon
ument to manhood and womanhood are
beauty spots of which any city would be
proud
As Pensacola has laid off more locations
for parks than any other city of the same
size, it is truly to be hoped that steps may
soon be taken to improve them The great
out-of-doors is what our country needs to
develop citizenship fit for war or fit for
peace. The back-to-the-farm movement
is just cry for more air, more exercise.
Where can our growing citizens-the
children soon to be the fathers of their
country-get fresh air in a CITY unless it is
in the parks? Parks are the lungs of the
city. That the city funds are taxed to the
limit, we of course all know; but if the
commissioners can prune down little here
and little there-and use the proceeds tc
| improve the Fairgrounds throughout the
city, they will be accomplishing an imDor.

zenship

GOVERNMENT NEEDED
THAT WILL GOVERN

Bluff Springs, June 16, 1917.
Editor Pensacola Journal.
AS to which form of government
is best for Pensacola; while not a
citizen of Pensacola l feel deep in
terest in her welfare. 1 have been
for long time in favor of a COM
mission form of government when
properly managed, when administra-
ton is divided up and each commits
sioner looks after his charge as he
should l believe, I believe commits
sion form of government is the best
model. The main requirement for a
clean city is to have men on duty
who will discharge that duty with
out fear or favor.
If the gambling dens are allowed
to continue catching the unwarS
fleeing all corners and goers and the
denis big brother, the liquor traffic
not curbed, Pensacola will continue
to be a seaport village.
Clean up and put men on guarC
who will keep it clean and she viii
grow and good people will come anC
stay.

way development, and its Importance can
not be overrated.
Good roads boosters will leave Pensa-
cola and Jacksonville on Wednesday, June
d, bound for Quincy, where banqueting
and boosting will be provided when the
the visitors arrive on the 22nd. All along
the route automobiles will join the great
mobilization of prosperity.
1t is earnestly hoped that a large num-
Der of motorists from Pensacola and the
surrounding country will join the move
ment There will be a meeting of interest
ed parties in the Chamber of Commerce
rooms Monday morning, to discuss final
plans, and full abundance is desired.
The Twin Tours trip is boost for the
Spanish Trail. Let the Automobiles and
public-spirited people of the community
say if they think all roads should lead tc

Good road bond issues by the va

few years aggregate the enormous
sum of $12,271 ,424.37.
Twenty-nine of the counties Of the

highways.
This tremendous road building ac-

the boast Of good roads advocates ev-

Following is the first complete and

THE MEXICAN CRISIS.

The braggadoc1o Oh the
seeking for another example OF what passes
current among their tin-horn demi-godss
as Latin Valor boarding the Colossus OF
the Mountaineering the United STATES
was no doubt satisfied.
$50 only north-the route OF retreat,
doomed the Carranza ukase through the
mouth of Generalissimo Trevlno to FER
shing-that ready man; 'but if you move
south. if YOU look east, if you so much as
wiggle finger west, the fury OF the Mex
lean army will be launched against your
caitiff carcasses."
Now Pershing didn't wilt, because that
not the style of the American fighting
man. He probably sent his orderly tor
another limeade, because it is uncommonly
warm down there, and he sat tight. You
see," Trevino chortled, "he doesn't dare
move. The inso1ent yankee is blinded by
the glory of Mexican arms. And no
doubt his pelado horde shouted themselves
hoarse, warmed with patriotism and
pulque
Pershing of course will move north, east,
south, or west as strategy dictates, and
not bombast He has full authority but
the policy of the United States Govern
ment, and not the chip on Trevino' S
shoulder, is his guiding star. That policy
is to restore peace and plenty to suffering
land whose only enemies are her own I'm
scrupulous politicians The fact that the
United States has been so patient so far is
proof sufficient how abhorrent conquest is
to the national conscience.
When order is restored in Mexico, Per
shing may look to the north again; but it is

trations reply to Carranza's buncombe to
know what the answer will be. The plank
in the Democratic Platform-the greatest
document on patriotism ever wrltten-de-
scribes the intentions of the United States
and shows that Breakdown is a word not
contained in the lexicon of America poll
tics.
After reasserting the Monroe Doctrine
which is further interpreted to mean the
most scrupulous observance of the indepen
5 dence of Latin American countries by the
United States, the plank goes onto say:
Want of a stable responsible govern
ment, in Mexico, capable of depressing
and furnishing marauders and bandit
bands, who have not only taken the
lives, and seized and destroyed the
property of American citizens in that
country, but have 1nsolentlY invaded
our soil, made war upon and murdered
our people thereon, has rendered it
:" necessary temporarily to occupy, by
our armed forces, portion of the ter
ritory. of that friendly state. Until, by
the restoration of law and order there
in a repetition of such incursions is inn
probable the necessity for their re-
manning will continue. Intervention,
implying as it does, military subjuga-
ton, is revolving to the people of the
United States, notwithstanding the
provocation to that course has been
great and should be resorted to, if at
ALL only as last resort. The stub
born resistance of the president and
his advisers to every demand and sug-
gestion to enter upon it is creditable
alike to them and to the people whose
name he speaks.
