Smaller Cigarette
Packs at Old Price

Unpopularity of the extra cent tax
on cigarets has been responsible for
the manufacturers putting up pack

this arrangement the cent tax will be
paid directly by the manufacturer and
the consumer will not be obliged to
pay the extra cent all of the time.

A BAROMETER OF SENTIMENT

Tomorrow election in New York City
will prove a barometer by which the ex
tent of the combined pro-German, pacifcist
and anti-war socialist sentiment may be
Judged.
While no city can accurately indicate
the sentiment of the entire country, New
York does so more fully than any other.
This is particularly true in the present
campaign, so far as Hillquit. the socialist
candidate is concerned
He has received more space in the news
papers than was ever before given to
candidate representing other than the
so-called straight line parties. No other
socialist candidate made SO vigorous cam
paign.
Hillquit has made stroDg appeal for
the vote of the pro-German and of the
pacihcist, as we'll as of the antiwar social
lst. He has assailed the president. has
questioned Our motives for entering the
war, denounced the Liberty Loan, opposed
the draft and aligned himself solidlv
against the government His supporters
have adopted the red flag-the accepted
badge OF anarchy-as their emblem His
public utterances have so closely ap-
preached the reasonable that the president
mas been asked to suppress him. In any
other country he would long since have
been placed under restraint, but our gov
eminent has permitted him to pursue his
course unmolested confident that his doc
trines will find few followers and believing
there is little national danger in his preach
n1ents
It is. perhaps, best to let Hillouit have
his fling. It is the surest wav Of learning
how many are Of his way Of thinking. The
| tally of tonnorrow's election will tell the
story, because Hil1quit will get the vote
| Of those who are disloyal and un-American
| just as he will lose the vote Of the real so
cialists-those who are sincere in their de
sire to have the world live by the COLDER
| rule

A COLOSSAL MIGRATION.

All the roads were packed with
dense traffic, with four or five lines
abreast of teams, automobile trucks,
pack mules, artillery wagons and OK
carts. The soldiers marched or roos,
singly, in groups, in regiments, in
brigades or in divisions. It was such
a time as the world has seldom wit
messed. Even fields and by-roads
We're utilized for the colossal migra-
ton. It is not surprising that some
congestion occurred amid such an eS-
odus, and the only remarkable thing
is that the great army has been able
to withdraw at all and establish itser
along the new line of defense.
Many heart rending scenes We're
witnessed along the route, as the
torrential rain and the vast zone Of
mud increased the misery of the NOV
ing multitude. Food was scarce anC
many went without for days. while
sleep was impossible as the throng
trudged westward. The military hos
pitfalls were evacuated, together with
all other establishments and pale
and wounded patients were obliged 20
JOIN in the rear guard march or fail
into the hands of the enemy. The
roadways were strewn with dead
horses. Traffic moved by night ano
day, often blocked for long intervals
by the breaking down of some enorm-
Gus artillery truck.
But above all stands out the sa-

THE PENSACOLA JOURNAL MONDAY MORNING.

But Florida is discovering her mistake.
The glanor of his clustering, bullying
egotism is fading This was evidenced
when he came to Pensacola last Friday
night. Aside from members of the party
which he journeyed here to ioin. Just three
politicians awaited his coming. Only seven
were at the station to greet him. Prob
ably no other governor ever received so
cold reception. Certainly no other more
fully warranted it.
Yes, the people Of Florida have meas
ured Mr.. Cats, they have estimated him at
his true worth-and they are letting him
severely alone.
AS to the announcement that he will be
Fletcher's successor-it may be necessary
to have a clown in the United States Sen
ate, but Florida does not propose to supply
him.

UN-AMERICAN

The refusal of DR.. Kan MUCK, conductor
OF the Boston Symphony Orchestra, to in
olude the Star Spangled Banner in the
repertoire of his organization. on the
ground that playing merely national or
political compositions is not it's business.
is sad commentary on the artistry, good
sense, and patriotism of the musicians.
The simple refusal to play the national
anthem is unwarranted in itself but to at
tempt to explain it by reasons so palpably
absurd lends credence to the suspicion
aroused by the action. Dr. Muck is not an
American. but his audiences are, and they
should show disapproval by remaining
away from a concert. however artistic, not
in full accord with the principles of Amer
icanism
Music is one of the greatest forms of
human expression, and aside from its rner-
it's as musical composition. "The Star
Spangled Banner" breatfes the spirit of
America. and Americas sons are march
ing forth to battle to the strains of the
same anthem. If it is good enough to die
for. it is good enough to hear. and Amer
lean audiences should resent the colossal
arrogance of an alien who dares to con
denim it.

such spirit as the Alpini on Monte
Maggiore, which persisted to the last
man rather than yield ground. It
was because of such resistance in the
face of overwhelming forces of en-
envy artillery and infantry that the
civil population was able to retire. 1t
was owing to the valor of Italian
aviators,, combating the AustroGer-
man army of the air that fleeing
women, children and old men who
crowded the roads were not struck
down bv. bursting bombs.
The spirit now confronting the ene-
my is excellent. The troops are fireo
with the determination to expel the
invaders from Italian soil.
Amid the onslaught of overwhelm-
: ing masses the Italians fell back
, slowly. The correspondent who was
fortunate, enough to obtain place

ter remaining at the front until Sat

nous movement westward.

Cats AND THE LAWYERS


Governor Cats has again made Of him
self disgraeeful spectacle
His violations of the code Of decency
have been SO frequent and he has so often
lowered the dignity Of his high office that
his offences usually permitted to pass
unnoticed. But his public interview given
in Pensacola, because of the nature of the
case involved, surpasses anything that he
has previously been guilty of.
His letter to Sheriff Van Pelt,-compar-
ing c. Moreno Jones, judge of the court
Of record. esteemed citizen and once mayor
Of Pensacola, to Guinea negro-was out
rageous. Probably never before has gov
crnor made SO pointed a threat. couched
in such uncouth language, against the
judge of any court.
That the lawyers of Pensacola. in the
most representative gathering in the his
tory of the local bar, adopted resolutions
condemning the attempt to influence and
dictate judicial action and decision, was
but dignif1ed expression of their disap-
prevail of the governors unwarranted &C
ton! The resolution was concurred in
without dissenting voice. Every lawyer
present, and only three four members
uf the local bar were absent, signed the
resolution
ernor Cats in his campaign. Others have
vigor ously defended his administration
against all criticism. Few have evidenced
feelings of hostility toward him. But all
were agreed that he had committed a
grevous error which threatened the sanci-
tity of the courts.
Had the governor felt that his letter was
misunderstood and it's meaning miscon-
strued, he would have been entirely justi-
fed in correcting the impression which it
created. But he would be expected to do
SO in manner becoming a gentleman and
in keeping with the dignity attaching to
the high office which he occupies.
Instead, he rushed into print and stig-
Ir1atized the lawyers who signed the resol1-
.tion-among them leading barristers OF
the state and most honored citizens OF
Pensacola-as malicious wilful falsifers.
He denies them the right of protest, but
impugns their motive and accuses all OF
trying to protect blind tigers-,nen who
have given their time and money and best
services to suppression of the liquor traffic
Without qualifications: he accuses them OF
attempting to impede the law And the
language of the governors attack is coarse
brutal, vulgar.
Without knowledge or without though,
of the facts, he burst into a violent tiradt
than the chief executive of a great com
monwealth.
The Journal vigorously opposed Mr.
Cats election because it seemed eviden
that he possessed no qualification for thu
place, but since he took office The Journa
has refrained from criticising him. Whe1
the voters elected him, The Journal &C
copied him and sincerely hoped his recorc
as governor would prove our opinion o
his qualifications entirely wrong. But h.
cannot be permitted to maiign some of tn
best citizens of Pensacola without protest
His actions since the day of his inaugu
ration show clearly how untitled he is 70
high public office.
Eccentric and fanatical, possessed Of
violent temper which knows no restraint
vindictive and easily excited to anger, h
is disgrace to the state which he governs

BOAT BUILDING co
WILL NOT COME HERE

Dillon visited Palatka and secured an
option on a tract of land at East Pa
latka with a water front of MIR. S.
S. Browning, for the purpose of en-
gaging in the ship building business.
This option expired on the 10th
inst, but at the request of the par
ties Mr. Browning gave them an eX-
tension to the 25th.
Yesterday Mr.. Browning received
word from Mr.. Dillon to the effect
that his people would give up all
claim to the property for the reason
that they had been unable to secure
the expert workmen needed II

The company has plenty of capita
and it was its purpose to enter the shil
