In the Days News

Oscar ". Underwood Of Alabama,
the new Democratic leader in the
United States senate, is So years
old today, having been born May s,
1862, at Louisville, Ky. Although
serving his first term in the senate,
Mr.. Underwood is veteran in the
public service. He has been cited
as the strongest example in mod
ern times OF a thoroughly modest
man getting a reputation without
going after it. For Is years he sat
in the lower house of congress, do
ing splendid work and never get
ting his name into the papers. FL
nally the crash came. the Demo-
Gratis carried congress. and from
sheer merit and nothing else the
quiet man from Alabama was made
floor leader and put in charge of
the party's tariff bill. And he SO
acquitted himself that within a
month he became a national figure,
and in 1912 he doomed as formid-
able candidate for the presidential
nomination. The senator is grad
uate of the University of Virginia
and a lawyer by profession.

THE PEOPLE SHOULD GET ZERO.

The other day the young and young women
of the Pensacola High School left the old Gypsey
Smith Tabernacle building in a body, because it was
so cold in the study hall that they felt it was
menace to health to study there. and an insult to
their intelligence to ask them to study in such
building as now disgraces Pensacola.
- So far The Journal has not heard
crticse these boys and girls for leaving the
school house that bitter cold winter morning, and
registering their protest against the treatment they
have beendaccorded by the people of this community
in requiring them to pursue their studies in such
environment.
gentlemen called up The Journal last night to
file protest against the pupils who left the building
receiving He said that it had come to his at
tention that the boys and girls who had left the old
barn of tabernacle building in which they are
forced to study. because too cold only

said that there a few boys and girls who re-
manned at school and that of these would
not be marked. matter what their former rec
ords might be. they would have unfair advantage
over the boys and girls who took their rights before
the people of Pensacola that bitter winter day.
This man took the position that the boys girls
within their rights and therefore did not de-
serve mark against them.
The fact of the matter is that If the school
be properly and adequately heated. then the pupils
should have been dismissed.
One thing is very certain. The people of Pensacola
not within their rights when they compel those
boys and girls to continue attendance in such build
ing that in which they now housed-a build
ing which is badly lighted lily ventilated and in an
unsanitary condition and not properly heated.
The laws of Florida compel the boys and girls to
go to school up to certain age; then there should
be some law to compel the people Of Pensacola to
give them decent building in which to study. The
little old log school house most primitive days
has nothing the Pensacola high school building.
that is very certain 1t is a disgrace to Florida.
! The Journal would not wish to seem to advocate
anything bordering upon lavlessness. The boys and
girls however, have our deepest sympathy. They
walked out not under whim. not led by some
wild spirits but they left because they were suffer-
ing and they rebeled against tyranny which forces
them to to school in building. which is not as
good any Jail building in the city.

LET US MAKE A START.

The committee of the Chamber of Commerce, re-
Gently appointed to make Investigations relative to
the municipal dock question, have made their report
and three out of the members of the committee
have subscribed themselves opposed to the move
ment at,ths time.
Among the reasons given by the committee for
their opposition to the sale of the bonds at this time
is that municipal docks advantageous, but are
not needed at this time and that the bond issue of
100000 is inadequate"
When carefully examined, these two contentious
seem to be Numerically opposed. If it is true that
the docks are not needed, how then it possibly
be necessary to bond for an additional amount?
II those who back of the movement for NUM-
cpal docks for Pensacola advocating tremen-
dous outlay of money, which had not already been
authorized by the people. The Journal would be OPP
posed to the movement But the 100000 for the
docks has already been voted on in the affirmative
and all that is necessary is for the bonds be well
advertised and they will bring good price
There is this difference to be noted in the two
ports which were turned in to the Chamber of Com
merce: The majority report a statement of opin-
ion the minority report was a statement Of facts
One report gave the the three members were
concrete evidence of what such docks had done for
the development Of other cities and gave facts and
figures to construction cost.
OF course the Chamber OF Commerce, realizes that
that body has no right to dictate to the city COM
missoners to whether not they shall carry out
the will of the people and sell the bonds voted in
1912. 1t is up to the city commissioners The
Chamber of Commerce has more right to do this
than has the Kiwanis Club the Rotary Club. The
Journel. does not believe that the Chamber of Com
merce as whole is opposed to the dock, and would
suggest that instead calling an election to vote on
what the people have already decided in the affirm
alive, it might not be bad idea to send out return
post cards to every member of the Chamber of Com
merce, who have all had opportunity to read both
reports and make their decisions, and them
whether they for against the municipal docks
The Journal believes that ayes would have it.
Even if we admitted, for the sake of argument thai
the docks we now have sufficient for all present
needs are we never to build for the future?
The Journal is not in favor of calling an election
for increased bond issue at this. time The day

are to keep abreast of the times But the S400O0(
