way to a fair conclusion as to how the state funds
are to be distributed.
In all the explanation and counter-explanation IN
all the argument and discussion, one thing alone
to stand out dstinctly-and that Is that Duval
county and South Florida have had far greater
share Of the public monies than the balance OF the
state, in spite of the fact that the fund was not
designed for the development of any certain part OF
the state but the state as a whole
Mr.. Register, in short and telling speech made
the statement that in his opinion there is no part
OF the state of greater Importance to its development
than is this section, and that the sysem of road
building should have been reversed and the roads
leading into Florida from other states put proper
| condition first in preference to those which were
within the pennsular

called attention edltorailly to the money which had
been appropriated for Florida highways and the
statement was made that unless the state road de-
partment got busy and completed the road from
Jacksonville to Pensacola in the event of centen-
NAL In Pensacola, West Florida would be cut off
from the rest OF the state.
The Ferry Pass bridge is part OF that road con-
srucion. And 1t is very apparent that the road de-
partment does not intend to put that bridge across
the Escambia river, if it can get out OF it. The
highway engineer has made the statement that the
bridge viii cost two millions of dollars Pensa-
cola contractor who has done much work the
United States government, declares that he can
build that bridge and guarantee it for years for
half million other estimates have put the bridge
even as low as s250OO0
The delegation which will go to Tallahassee from
Escambia and Santa Rosa will comprise some OF the
leading men Of this section fully versed in the needs
of West Florida and well acquainted with state road
construction. These should have the backing
OF all West Florida for they are expected to put UP
a vigorous fight
If West Florida gets her rghfu share OF the state
appropriation for public highways it will mean an
other step forward in her industrial development.
Good roads are longer luxury; they are neces-
sity. And just so long our roads are inadequate
to meet agricultural and commercial needs, just so
long will this part of the state be retarded its
growth

WEST FLnRInA,s FIGHT

strong committee will leave Pensacola this week
to attend the meeting of the state highway commits
sion, which convenes in Tallahassee. This commit
tee viii be part of a delegation from West Florida
which goes before the commission to present the
claims of this part of the state.
At the meeting Of the county commissioners of Es-
Gambia county and the state road department. which
met in Pensacola Wednesday, it was easily appar-
ent that there a division among the members
OF the state board itself as to whether or not this
part Of the state had received its Just share of the
state appropriation and it was plainly demonstrated
that Pensacola and Escambia county may count on
at least two fair-minded members, j. d. Smith of
Mariana and Lee c. Register. Mr. Smith was frank
in his opinion that West Florida had been discrim-
mated against and Mr.. Register while not biased in
his advocacy OF West Florida made the assertion
that in his opinion the roads which should have
received first attention those which connected
the state Of Florida with other states These roads
OF course are those entering North and West
Florida.
NJ. NJ. Smith, chairman Of the state road depart
ment, was not encouraging in his estimate Of the
amount of money which West Florida was likely to
receive from the federal state fund nor were
his explanations to why Duval county and South
Florida had received such generous appropriations
particularly satisfactory.
1t is not enough to say that the other counties OF
the state bonding that other sections of the
state have spent q great deal of money on good
roads. These are general statements. which do not
go to the heart Of the matter The delegation which
goes to Tallahassee should find out from the state
highway department Just what amount of bonds
each section has voted and just how the state and
federal aid department has met the commissioners
OF the counties.
There certainly must be some sort OF equitable

FloridaPress Opinion
What the Leader of the Nation Should Be.


Various states are presenting their favorite sons"
as presidential possibilities even regarded at long
range
Ohio boasts itself as the mother of presidents
1t has given us several 1t is more nearly true that
it is the mother politicians for it has given us
many, is showing a surplus now. and has for the
future possible drawing capacity that is IN
limited.
We rather think that Virginia, 1.-The mother of
statesmen has the better cause to be proud of her
record than has Ohio. 1t has furnished the nation
and the world of the strongest big characters
of history, and it stands today first in the list of
those states which have given us presidents who
tower head and shoulders above the rest
But, Ohio has a good idea of what ought to enter
into the makeup of president, and from that state
we get the following fine specifications next
president Of this United States, be he democrat or
republican:
4. An honest man.
2. A Of character
3. A man grafters do not love-
q. A man who has the confidence of common
folks.
5. A who will not peddle his soul for any
office
6. A man whose sovereignty rests beneath his
hat.
I. A man who belongs to nobody but God and
Uncle Sam.
8. A man who is not suspected Of having tainted
morals tainted dollars
9. A who is not hand-cuffed by capital la
Dor, class. clan, creed or crowd.
TO- A man who will not use office to grind his
own axe to chop his own wood to get rich.
ii. man who is big and bold. not bought nor
sold, not blind nor deaf nor bluffed nor bull
doZed.
States having favorite which they would like
to present would do well, and themselves and
the son much embarrassment. If they would take
him out behind the barn some bright day and give
him private, honest measuring up much 80
per cent all the way through then he will be dan
gerous opponent for the position for any man whose
claim to precedence is solely that he big voice
and bigger bluff-Tampa Tribune.

LET LAW TAKES ITS COURSE.

Editor Journal:
Your editorial this morning was
timely and all right. After I wrote
my last article, found that the regI-
lar session Of the circuit court would
be held in February so it was not
necessary to ask for a special ses-
sion.
Now let everybody keep cool and
let the law hvae its course. This was
an aggravated case and reflects on our
city but let us not make it worse by
taking the law into our own hands,
only as a last resort.
Respectfully
