But the scaling of that cliff was not
job for blacksmiths and woodchop-
pers. 1t was a task for men of long
reach, of wiry joints, and theys of
steel. The boots ceased their scraping
after a while; the three men stood
muttering and breathing hard upon the
ledge against which the water curled.

first come out of the silence down the

Pearlhunter heard them hopping across
the stream, heard them clawing their
way through the tangled underbrush

the rear. He rolled back as far as
possible, so as to have the protection

More like boys beating up ticket
for rabbits than men hunting the most
dangerous desperate ever known along
the Wabash, they stormed up the OPP
posite bluff. After what seemed a long
time to the listener their heads finally
came into view, the burly blacksmith

side of the gorge. and the Pearlhunter

TO IMPROVE APPEARANCES.

The Tampa Tribune says: "Pensa-
cola plans row of brick residences,
fifteen in all, for completion by early
fall Tampa has several fine streets
where such a rowe of residences, =
would attract the finest sort of people.
In this connection, 1t might be said
that Pensacola would find it much to
advantage to have good many rows
of such residences, and as suggestion
to that end, we will call attention to
the fact, frequently pointed out by The
Journal, that Wright street is naturally
one of the most beautiful streets that
any city can boast.
In spite of the way that this street
was married, when during the whiskey
regime it was given over TO cheap
saloons, it had then, and has now, one
of the most beautiful views any city
thoroughfare has to offer.
Leaving the Louisville and Nashville
station and taking the Wright street
way to reach the business district, one
must be struck with the beauty of the
vista, with the uncovered Christ
Church. at the intersection OF the
street. as it connects with Palafox.
Wright street, since the saloon has
nassed away. is Rapidly developing into
4 business street. however, and SO IL Is
doubtful if it will ever again become
one of the principal residence streets
Rut. s.nce this cannot be, would II
not be a good idea for extra care to be
exercised by the owners of property on
this street to keep it up to the mark
and as attractive in appearance as pos
sibie?
Many strangers coming into Pensa-
cola get their first impression OF Pen
sacola via Wright street. 1t seems 9
pity that it cannot be what 1T ought e
he-an impression of the beauty OF
the street rather than feeling OF re-
gret that so much of beauty is linked
with so much that is anything put at
tractive to the eye.
THE business houses have done muen
IN make this street more attractive. II
the city authorities would DO the~i
mart in keeping the street clean ano
in proper condition, it would be 9
wise expenditure of both money ano
effort.

For the Women Voters.
II you can keep your vote when all
about you
Are throwing theirs away on this
and that;
II you can think with politics about
you,
OF major issues that are plain and
flat;
If you can see your way through florid
speeches
And never lose your head on flowery
ways.
Then you can vote as well as who wear
breeches,
And you can vote so that the voting
pays.
II you can walk through crowds that
shout in passion,
And never leave your reasoning be-
hind;
If you can think. when feeling is the
fashion,
And never trust to luck or go it
blind;

Above the gain or glory of a few
You'll make the ballot yet a decora-
ton

Press Comment
Tsnnessse Must Stand Pat

Tennessee Must Stand Pat.
The civilization Of the world is
saved. The mothers of America will
stay the hand of war and repudiate
those who trifle with great principle.
The action of the Tennessee legislature
has another significance. 1t is an EVIL
dence of the democratic party's policy
to pay its platform obligations.
Governor James NJ. Cox, democratic
| nominee for president, never made a
finer speech in his life. The great
phrases Of ratication are touched in
these brief words which he spoke when
informed that the legislature OF Ten
nessee had acted favorabiy upon the
nineteenth amendment to the Consti-
tuition of the United States.
The women will do more to trim
| the hair Of Mars" than all other forces
in the world, not excepting the League
of Nations. Evidently Governor Cox is
of the same opinion. For their strenth
| lies in their tenderness of understand
ing, and If again the dark clouds
should roll low they would be power
| full force in shattering them and per-
| hitting the sunshine of normality TO
sift through once more.
If at this time Tennessee should re-
verse her action in regard to suffrage,
| that state will have simultaneously
| brought the infamy of politics on her
self. It will show that there is some
thing rotten in Denmark" for the
amendment has been ratified and to
recall its action will cast diseredit
upon the legislators of that state and
Governor Cox's reference to the demo-
cratic party's policy OF paying its OBJ
| legations will become soundless and a
| hooking sign at the great principle of
all justice. Tennessee cannot afford to
change her verdict. The best interests
of the nation demand that 1t stand

The Gulf Ports.


The recent action of the North
Florida Chamber of Commerce tending
to the exploitation and development of
our Gulf coast ports has resulted in
a renewed and widespread interest be-
ing manifested in the subject.
If there was ever a time when such
interest was needed, it is right now.
New York is awakening to the loss
that is being sustained by that port
through strikes and insufficient ter
minal facilities, and its capitalists are
demanding that steps be taken to
check this taking the commerce of the
west to the Gulf ports.
But because of the losses sustained
by shippers through the congestion at
the Eastern ports and the inability of
the authorities there to suppress riot
ing and strikes that interfere with in
terstate commerce, Western shippers
are in no mood for further parley over
these disastrous conditions, and, if
given the encourages that the Gulf
ports can and should offer, will turn
their business, both export and import,
over to them.
Never was there such an opportun-
ity as is now presented TO place the
Gulf ports in their logical position as
national gateways of commerce that
nature intended them to be. Behold
now is the accepted time" "Oppor-
tunity is often lost through delibera-
tion," says Publious Syrus while old

ing a tendency of returning to Po-
tomac waters. F. H. StoneStreet of
Rock Point, Md, announced today
that the first catch 6f sturgeon for
sixteen years was made a few days
ago by Capt. George Cullison. That
was not enough. A day later he
caught two more.
Many years ago surgeons We're
plentiful even as far up the river
as this city. The price then was 80
to rs cents per fish. Caviar then
was a less expensive luxury, by 1000
per cent than today. The sturgeon
gradually grew less common during
the past generation and became more
exclusive Fishermen attribute this
to the fact that many baby stur-
geon, Weighing scarcely more than a
pound and a half, are caught%doWn
in Florida waters, causing the family
to become less and less numerous.
Fishermen in the vicinity of the
catch are viewing with wonder the
species caught They're. coming

ington may yet. see the day when
caviar which is the Russian delicacy
concocted from the spawn of the stur-
geon. will drop a bit from the $50
to $40 price of today to more rea-
sonable figure.
