CAPITAL and labor, so often at odds IN

for~youth and poverty to offer its blood and
age and wealth to offer its dollars on their

the battles of age, and wealth feeds the
families of youth and poverty. This is CO
operation; this is democracy.
Far different, however. is the spirit of
Henry Ford, who has announced that any
employee of his that joins the militia will
be fired and blacklisted. This is the species
of treachery by which Ford seeks to enforce
a theory of pacifism that is the laughing

Editor of The Journal: We are
disposed to be modest when boasting |
of the good things of this city, and |
we were very glad to see Don McLel- |
Ian of The Journal, breaking away
from that modesty and tell US of the
many beautiful parks we have here.
Almost within hailing distance OF
each other, and still so scattered that
nearly all our citizens can enjoy their

With our broad avenues and fine

us go back half lifetime and speak
of the men who planned this city
beautiful. We wish we could call
all the men by names, but we can
speak of the leading spirit, Alexan-
der Stoddard, the head of the New
York syndicate who worked inces-
sanity for the building of beautiful
city here. These men who owned
the new city tract could have cut down
the width of the avenues and streets
from twenty to thirty feet, and in
stead of giving us these pretty park
ways we are so proud of they could
have put them all into city lots, gain
ing hundreds of more lots that would
have brought more money to their
/ pockets, but these men were not of
the selfish kind. Mr.. Stoddard, who,
for a third of his life time came here
every year, his personal interests al

came here so he could plan to make
Pensacola more beautiful and in what
way he should spend his money for

trees and hardening the drive ways

ROOSEVELT SUPPORTS HUGHES


The Sage of Sycamore Hill has spoken.
The Oracle Of Oyster Bay is once more
on the job.
Even as the mountains labored and
brought forth a mouse, so the Tedlum OF
Teddy has produced six thousand word
dockymint-Letter of Theodore Roosevelt
to the Progressive National Committee, is
the booming hurrah by which the author
denotes tin which he declines once and
for all the Progressive nomination and
throws his support to Hughes, the Hirsute.
If faint praise condemns, then Roosevelt
has struck the Republican party deadly
blow. If weak condemnation praises, then
Wilson and democracy are lauded to the
skies.
At least, Roosevelt did what he could
with the subject. With man of as few ante
cedents-in public way--as Hughes, the
rough-riding Has-Been couldn't say very
much How augur the future when there
is no past7 And with our foreign trade
greater than before, and prosperity daily
increasing, built by Wilson upon the in
herited depression of Republican panics, the
wou1d-be Third Termer must content him
self with mere denunciation, unsupported
by fact.
The Rooseveltian communique, while il
is all noise, like Fourth of July gun, al
least indicates how overwhelming is Viii
sons popularity. That Roosevelt is strong
er today than four years ago when he made
! the race, no one will deny. Why, then
should he decline to run, unless it is because
he knows that Wilson has increased il
strength even faster?
In times of flood, animals that are nat
ural enemies will take refuge on the s@al,
log. Likewise, we find Teddy-da-Ro
and Hughes driven by the desperate crisi
| in their affairs to the same plank. Any
thing to beat Wilson is the panic cry; Blu
the truth is, nothing can beat Wilson
/ Roosevelt was not able to beat Wilson whe1
he had party; he certainly won't be abb
to do anything serious by running amucl
in rhetoric.

military matters the superior con-

COL. DAVIS CRITICISM.

1t is indeed hard to reply to criticism
ioffered by man of Col. Davis integrity,
capacity and sincerity; especially hard
when he mistakes the tenor and purpose of
the editorial in question
The Journal printed tribute to the sec
rotary of the navy last week which Col
Davis takes as slight on the army.
The article in question referred to Sec
rotary Daniels plan, adopted by congress
two years ago after bitter opposition,
whereby enlisted men who had passed ex-
aminations could enter Annapolis and be-
come officers. This, The Journal stated, is
in keeping with the democratic ideals of the
United States. The first year five enlisted
men qualified; the next year, eight; and last
year twenty-three qualified; and comment
ing on the Daniels measure, The Journal
stated, in the editorial to which Col Davis
takes exception, that 'The increase from
five men to twenty-three in 3 wears dem
onstrates the efficiency of the educational
plan put into effect by Secretary Daniels
under (whose) administration the
navy, for the first time in its history, has
recruited its strength up to the number au.
thorized by law. )"
Our editorial was a vindication or Dan
iels; it was intended for nothing more. i
was nothing more. The Journal has mad,
too many tributes to the army within tn,

services. No doubt the few remain
ing troopers of Captain Boyd's COM
mand are saying the same thing about
their dead captain.
/ repeat, there is no unjust discrim-
nation towards the enlisted person
mel in either the army or the navy.
The door of opportunity is wide open
for deserving enlisted men to obtain
a commission and the officers shout
der straps; there are many such off
GERS, both in the army and in the
navy, and l brand as utterly false the
statement sometimes appearing in
newspapers of socialistic tendencies,
that officers from the ranks are look
ed down upon or in any way discrim-
mated against by officers who happen
to be graduates Of either of the Ma
tional Academies.
But / viii admit that there is some
times discrimination against the SOL
der in uniform, and that he is often
times treated in a snobbish manner;
such discrimination and snobbery are
manifested by certain class OF civil
ians, and are inspired by publication
in the press Of articles similar to
your editorial.
The undersigned has endeavored to
cultivate cordial relations between
his command and the community at
large, and consequently greatly dep
recates the publication Of articles
like the editorial in question.
Very truly yours,

Editor of The Journal: / desire
to protest most emphatically the edi-
torial appearing in today's Journal
under the caption, "Here's to Secre-
tarv Daniels" I offer no criticism
of your praise of this cabinet officer,
but I submit that in praising him it
was not necessary for you to SANDER
the officers of the navy and of the
army as was done in this article. I
will not dwell on your aspersions of
naval officers further than to say that
l know of my own knowledge that
your statements regarding them are
entirely misleading and erroneous.
Equally unfair and unfounded are
your remarks concerning the rela-
tions of regular army officers with
the enlisted personnel, in which you
imply that the officers attitude to-
wards the enlisted man is that of a
snobbish superior towards mental
inferior, who occupies a degraded po-
sition incompatible with his self-re-
spect. Let the writer of that edi-
torial interview some of the old sol
diers of this command, and he would
soon learn, and in emphatic language
that the soldier interviewed still had
plenty of self-respect left. The truth
/ is, the army is a military and not 9
political organization, and cannot be
