FOR PUBLIC DISCUSSION.


However necessary it may be to make change
in the present form of government, The Journal
does not believe that the people of this communi-
ty will approve the methods used at the meet
ing Of Thursday evening, when those who at
tempted to call attention to possible drawbacks
to return to the aldermanic form, were con-
sidered out of order. Such procedure at meet
ing of democratic people is far from democratic
in principle
The Journal believes that the commission form
of government has been woefully lacking in many
ways, but the best remedy for the state of af-
fairs which exists in Pensacola today is interest
on the part of those who criticise, expressed by
their votes through the ballot.
The interests of the public are best conserved
when public questions are openly discussed
Both Mr.. Beard and Mr.. Sullivan have ex-
pressed themselves as feeling that the news re-
port OF the meeting in The Journal of Friday
morning was fair to both sides, and The Journal
feels that it may, with propriety, call attention
to two outstanding features of the meeting.
Mr.. Beard said he was championing neither
side, but had come to get information, and
wished to warn those present to remember how
elaborate, unweildy and cumbersome was the old
charter, and how impossible it had been to fix
definite responsibility for any transaction. Aft
er Mr.. Boards withdrawal Mr.. Sullivan charged
that when Mr.. Beard was in the state senate he
was responsible for placing in the old charter its
elaborate and cumbersome features, the
emphatic protest of Mr.. Sullivan.
If this be true, then Mr.. Sullivan admits that
the charter is just what Mr.. Beard claimed it
to be.
The Journal feels that it is not within its pro-
vince to dictate in any way as to what form of
government this city is to be operated under.
That is for the people of Pensacola to decide. If
they wish to go back to the old form of govern
men they have the right to so express them
selves by signing the petition. But it must be
remembered that it is one thing to sign a paper
and another thing to form satisfactory gov
eminent.
The Journal believes that what Pensacola
needs more than anything else is men to come
out in the open and vote on public questions.
The Journal would remind the people of Pen
sacola that at the time the form of government
was changed there was even more dissatisfac-
ton than now.
One thing seems to stand out from everything
else, and that it that this is no time for such
methods as were adopted at the meeting of.
Thursday evening. If we are to go back to the.
old form let us do so as democrats. Let us call
a public meeting, at which all men of all con-
victions may gather, and where both sides may
present their case.

JEWELRY INDUSTRY
NEEDS ~EX-S0LDlERS

Disabled soldiers discharged from
duty who are either skilled jewelers. or
who are willing to go through a course
of apprenticeship in order to learn jew
elry manufacturing, are in great de-
mand In all the big jewelry centers OF
the United States, according to an an
nounoement by the wal department
through Col. Arthur woods, assistant
to the secretary of war and in charge
OF the campaign for unemployment OF
ex-service men,
Manufacturers are said to be at their
wits end to keep anywhere within
are bidding against their competitors,
hiring men away from o,ners at greatly
advanced wages,
Every opportunity Is offered ex-ser-
vice men, whether disabled or not, to
heeome liberal wage eArners at AS early
a date as possible, without reference to
apprenticeship limitations. Men h
have lost either a leg or a foot can
easily become bench hands or stone
cutters. Men whose health has been
injured by gas or otherwise can find
employment in the Jewelry manufac-
turing industry under excellent SAM
tary conditions.
Several reasons are assigned by mem
bers of the jewelry trade for the pres
ent labor shortage. In the first place,
there has been no apprenticeship sys-
tenn in 4 In the jewelry business
In many years. Secondly, there has
| beer a general dependence upon immi-
grafton to supply labor for the cheaper
and rougher process. immigration has
| beer stopped and there Is therefore q
decided shortage of skilled jewellers and
a small shortage OF unskilled labor"

SOL0NS FAIL TO
ASK OFFICIAL TO QUIT

AUSTIN, Tex, July 1.-THE lower
house Of the Texas legislature ad-
journed late yesterday without having
taken action on a resolution asking for
the resignation of Walter J. Crawford.
member OF the board Of regents Of the
state normal school, for his alleged con-
n~ection with an attempt to r%elinquish
the states option to purchase the Blue
Ridge prison farm.
The resolution. introduced by Rep
resentative Pope, Of Nueces county, was
based on a report Of a legislative In
v~estigating committee which report and
testimony adduced at committee hear
ings had shown that Crawford, while
acting as attorney for the owner Of the
Blue Ridge farm, had sought to enter
into a new contract In which the states
option to purchase the property at the
expiration of Its seven years lease was
to be Cancelled. The testimony, accord
ing to the report. showed that oil had
been found on the farm.
The Blu Ridge farm of 5000 acres is
being operated as a prison farm by the
state, only three years Of Its seven
| year lease having expired.

ATLANTA, Ga, July 11.-Appealing
TO the South to stand against the league
OF nations, Senator James A. Reed,
democrat, Of Missouri, declared at a
mass meeting here last night that the
league plan would sacrifice national
rights and place the destinies Of the
American people in the hands Of foreign
kings and diplomats,
Il come to you" said Senator Reed.
as al old -fashioned simon pure Demo-
Crat, | have never scratched a Demo-
cratic ticket. | believe in the doctrine
OF local self-~government. ! believe the
interests Of the American people are
safer in the hands of the representa-
lives Of all the people assembled in
Washington than they will be in the
hands Of the representatives Of the gov
ernments, kings and autocrats OF
Europe and Asia.
Il deny the right Of any temporary
oflCehOlder TO so employ the powers Of
his office as to compel your IONS to sac
! rifice their lives in the contests of other
nations while he sits here safe at
home"
Charging that a vast propaganda for
the league had been organized by
former President Taft and backed
largely by International bankers, Mr..
Reed continued:
In part this propaganda has been
Illegally paid for out of the moneys OF
the United States. Even while the Lib
erty loan drives were on, literature ad-
vocating the league, printed at govern
ment expense, was furnished by the
four-minute speakers who we're to ad-
dress audiences. But outside of the
money thus filched from the govern
ment, the sum expended has been so
enormous as to create wonderment.
The source Of this stream of gold has
been found chiefly In the great inter-
| national bankers and financiers.
There Is but one danger to Amer
lea" declared the Missouri senator. 1T
Is in the abandonment Of the policies
which made her great and the substi-
tuition Of visions and dreams Of Wood
row Wilson for the practical sense and
sublime patriotism Of George Wash
