GOING 1T WILD

A white republican party for Florida. seems to
be all talk The republicans regulars and lily
whites seem to be getting together, judging from
the advertisements which are being sent to news
papers in the state, and which signed by d. T.
Gerow chairman, and Joseph E. Lee, secretary. The
secretary is the negro. collector Of Internal Reeve
nue. under the republican administration.
The Tampa Tribune, calling attention to this.
declares that there promises to be something doing
in the republican ranks The Tribune says:
..All that stuff we heard about white Repub-
lican party for Florida, just bosh usual. The
Republican party in southern state has got to
recognize and play up to the negro if it expects to
have a membership roll. and Florida is exception.
Rastus WILL as usual the South, be used by
the Republican party to help rake chestnuts out
of the hot ashes.
"But there is thing the call of the Republic
can State Central committee has done; it has shown
party when we have been declaring we couldnt
do it anyhow it could be fixed.
The Republicans regulars and lily whites will at
least get together and talk it and in all proba-
bility come to some harmony OF action before the
election while the Democrats will go it Wild each
man for himself taking the individual utterance or
fancied belief of every candidate. democracy
instead of formulating a platform of principles to
be adhered to by every who presumes to ask
our suffrage.

ON DECREACE
SAFETY IN TRANSPORTATION OF
EXPLOSIVES is WORK OF
! AMERICAN BUREAU.

The work of the bureau of ex-
piosiyes of the American railway as
ISOLATION has done more to prevent
accidents and explosions in the trans
portation of explosive materials than
any other one body in America, ac-
cording to Colonel James L. Taylor, as
sistant TO the chief inspector of this
branch of railway work. Colonel Tay-
Tor has been travelling over the coun-
try giving lectures and demonstra-
tons on slides and bringing before
the mind of~the public just what this
department has been doing for the
prevention of accidents and destruc-
ton. He was in Pensacola recently
and gave a lecture in the Bonita
theatre with number of slides, bring
ins forcibly to mind the responsibility
o. the public carriers in transporta-
ton of explosives.
In his lecture Colonel Taylor de-
monstrated the proper as well as i'm
proper way of the handling of the ex-
p4osives and gave some startling fig
ures of destruction and death that
had been happening before the asso-
citation was organized and started on
the work of education. Colonel Tay-
il 1907 and in that year alone there
were 70 accidents, mostly preventable,
in which So persons were killed, and
q property loss incurred OF s496, $50.
This year only a normal amount of
explosives We're handled. In the year
of 1918. the biggest year in the trans
portation Of explosives in the history
of America, there was only one killed
and property loss of little over
$4,000. This remarkable record was
made possible largely through the
education of carriers and handlers OF
explosives through the work of the
bureau of explosives.
Colonel Taylor paid high tribute
to the American carriers for their
work during the war days and said
that they were as essential and as
heroic in their work over here as
We're the boys who We're at the front.
He compared their work. with other
countries and their cooperation with
the government at the time of its
need was to be commended

a STIFF FIGHT

Pensacola will be represented at the meeting of
the re-conventon OF the Gulf-Atantic association
which convenes in Troy. Alabama, January 18TH
by George Emanuel, vice-president OF the Escambia
meeting is to promote the Spanish Trail and Gulf
Coast resorts between Mariana and Pensacola and
including this city.
At meeting of the Escambia Good Roads Asso-
citation, which held on Saturday morning. much
interest was evinced in the roads OF this county
and particularly in regard to the application of road
funds -
Nothing is of greater importance at this time, par
ticularly in view of the recent announcement by the
state highway association. that bridge across Es
Gambia Perry Pass which it is claimed will
cost two million dollars. There is nothing of greater
importance at this time than bridge at Ferry Pass
for it means more than good road for pleasure
seekers. tourist travel; it means good road to
prosperity.
There is nothing of greater Importance to the de-
velopment of Pensacola at this time than good roads
The money for the roads has already been appropri-
ated by the state and the federal government PEN
sacola and Escambia county should get their just
apportio .ment of this fund. But will they?-that
is the vital question.
They will not unless the Escambia county Good
Roads association. the county commissioners. and
the people of this section make demand, and back
those demands to the limit.
The good roads for this county, and particularly
for Pensacola, is not that may be settled. Off
hand 1t is the most important question before the
people today. 1t is estimated that by the time the
centennial celebration is held in Pensacola, more
than fifty per cent of the travel will be by auto
mobile There are many interests which might align
themselves against this bridge.

FEW PLAYERS
HAVE SIGNED

Chicago, Dec. 2S.-New contracts for
the 1920 season must be preferred ap-
proximately 90 per cent of the regular
players on major league baseball clubs,
expert followers OF the game say. That
condition with the increased interest
displayed in the national pastime, they
say, probably will result in a number
of players following Babe Ruth, the
Boston pitcher and outfielder, in de-
mands for increased salaries.
Retrenchments effected for the period
after the war, when the owners ex-
pected to be confronted with Iessened
interest in baseball, led to many one
year contracts being made. Long time
contracts for a number of stars ter
minated with the past season. That

NO TRAVELLING CIRCUS

Again that sectionalism within the state that
frequently checks promotion of Florida, has cropped
out in connection with holding the centennial ex-
position says the st. Andrews News, and continues
the comment, as follows:
It is most unfortunate that this state has such
extensive territorial limits. 1t is as far from the
Perddo to Key West as it is northern state
line to New York or Chicago.
This begets multiplicity of varied and opposing
parts of the whole that detrimental to harmon
ious and concerted action by the state unit But
there is charm an attraction about the name of
Florida that draws the attention of the rest of the
country to the state as whole. any part of it,
and brings to all parts due notice.
BY all logical reasoning Pensacola should be
named as the site of the proposed centennial There
should be no division of this exposition. There is
no reason why Jacksonville should be chosen more
than there is that Tallahassee should be. This IS
from sentiment Furthermore. Pensacola is
are other points contending and it can stage such
show as well any of them.
But South Florida seems to think, because of its
wonderful development in the past few years. that
everything should go to that section. If they cannot
get the whole years exposition. why they would
take a fourth, or half of it. This thing Of making
a travelling circus out OF important celebration
concentrating the acquisition of Florida by the
United States, is ridiculous Let those places clam
erng the centennial bear in mind that there
other items to consider than creating business for
local boarding houses. which seems to be the big
idea with some of the conenders for the exposition.
We are not particularly IN love with Pensacola

HATS OFF TO DAN McCAN

We take the following from the Southern Marine
Journal believing that in it is given message which
should reach every American citizen:
Said Dan McCan to foreign man

He flourished Stillson wrench.
Don't talk to of the bourgois5e
Don't open your mouth to speak

Don't mention the boisheveek,
For I've had enough OF this foreign stuff
I'm sick as a. can be
OF the speech of hate. and I'm tellin you straight
That this is the land for me-"
If you want to brag just take that flag
And boast of its field of blue
And praise the dead and the blood they shed
For the peace of the likes o. you
I'll hear more" and he waved once more
His wrench in forceful way,
20 the cunning creed O. some Russian breed
stand for the U. S. A.!
I'm done with your fads, and your wild-eyed lads
Don't flourish your flags o. red
Where can see or at night thereI be
Tall candles around your bed
so tip your hat to flag like that
Thank God for its Stripes and Starsl
Thank God you're here where the roads are clear
Away from your kings and cars
can't just say what feel today,
For I'm not talkin' man.
But first and last. I'm a-standin fast
For all that's American
So don't you speak Of the bolsheveek
It's sick OF that stuff I am
One God. one flag is the creed / brag!
