GOOD APPOINTMENTS.

The movement of the city commits
sioners to place Bayview on safer
plane and to give the resort more
careful superintendent, has met with
hearty public endorsement
The appointment OF Miss Isabel In
graham and Picket Jones as manager
OF the woman's department and assist
ant manager of the resort, give promise
OF better conduct in the future, and the
Pensacola public, and particularly the
parents of the children and youth OF
the city who frequent the resort, will
feel that there is better guarantee of
safety and good conduct.
Bayview is one Of the most delight
full summer Fairgrounds in the South,
but for the past two summers has
fallen off much in patronage, because
of laxity which seemed to prevail
through lack of careful attention to
those most important features of any
resort-public conduct Of visitors and
system in management.
The city, in the appointment Of Miss
Ingraham and Mr.. Jones, shows a
disposition to make amends for some
of it's past ERRORS, and it is to be
hoped, for the good name Of the resort
and the city, that an end will be put
to that laxity which has resulted in
such tragic affairs as have occurred
recently at, Bayview.

that spoils the rose. They are all bad,
and to seek to be free enough to be
a dwarf or a cripple or consumptive
is to SIGH for the paradise of fools.
Neither should one want to be free
enough to injure his fellowmen. Life
is a social proposition. While the in
dividuaI has rights. he has no, right
that licenses him to destroy the rights
Of his fellowman. The notion that
civilization is to be promoted by class
greed, whether the class be capital or
labor. is the height of folly. Millen-
NUNS are not FASTENED by hate. They
come only as a goodwill is fostered,
and the very essence Of a better world
is in the law OF love.
The liberty the world needs is not
permission for a man to do anything
he wants to, but an emancipation that
will lead him to do right, and to do I'M
to others as he would have others do
unto him. 1t is Golden Rule freedom
that the real Goddess Of Liberty dis
penses. God Himself has no higher
freedom than this. III the Son shall
make you free, yet shall be free in
deed"

VANCE WRITES FOR
JOURNAL READERS
BY Dr.. James I. Vance.

This lady has been worshipped a
long time. She is a popular divinity.
Men have laid on her altar their rich
est gifts, and she has often had the
sacrifice of human life. What is it
men will not give and do to be free?
But what is it that makes liberty
divine? Is the love of freedom holy
because it lets a man do any thing he
wants to? Such liberty is physical
impossibility, not to speak of it's So
cial and moral limitations. The true
emancipation is that which releaves
life for its full functions. that enables
the individual to achieve the highest
self-development and. that at the same
time makes him Of largest service to
his fellowmen. Any liberty that makes
a man less man, that dwarfs his de-
velopment or cripples his usefulness,
is not divine. And to seek it is to
mistake a swamp light for a star.
No man should want to be free to
wrong himself. Vice and crime are
not to be the marks of greatness. They
are deformities. Why they fasten them
selves on life is a question in the same
class as that which deals with the dis
ease that fevers the body or the blight

Candidate. and Promises

The people should shy off from the
candidate who have nothing more to
commend him than promises. Four
years ago, it will be remembered, that
a certain candidate for governor prom
Used that if elected he would turn out
what he called the horde of clerks in
the capitol at Tallahassee. Cartoons
even, were sent out broad cast pic
turing hundreds of rats running from
the capitol building on one side while
the cat went in on the other, yet the
cat entered the building and no clerk
left, in fact, at his request the clerical
force of his own office was increased,
and rightly so because the increase of
work demanded it. We mention it to
emphasize the fact that candidate
with no knowledge of the work will
make any old promise he thinks will
catch votes.
Many promises are doubtless being
made in this campaign, one in particu-
lar having come to our notice. The
candidate opposing the comptroller is
promising to run the automobile de-
partment of that office with less than
half OF the force the present comp
troller uses. Well, 1t would be a
mighty good thing If it could be done.
We happen to know. first hand, that
there is not superfluous clerk used
in that department and the full force
is busy all the time, oft times work
ing half the night to keep up the work
and give the splendid service the pub
lie has been getting. These clerks are
employed by the day and increased or
diminished as the business warrants
1t costs no more TO use ten clerks ten
days than one clerk one hundred days.
but, oh. how much better it is for the
fellow who needs his tags.
In Georgia there is only one tag and
only one series. while Florida has two
tags and ten series. which makes it
much more cumbersome TO handle
Should this man be elected. we are
sure he win use just as many clerks

ditor for county officials of the 81
counties of Florida He is on nearly
all the state boards, a task in Itself
sufficient to mopopolize a large share
of his time. These are simply few
Of his duties. To enumerate them all
would require more space than is avail
able. Without exception it is the
most difficult and intricate state Of
flee to fill.
Ernest Amos, the present comptrol-
Ter, is candidate for reelection. He
has made a fine record. He has insti-
tuted reforms that have saved the state
la great deal of money. A man of
executive ability and untiring indus
try, he has made a record of which the
state should be proud.
But, some of his friends say, he has
one fault--he isn't good campaigner,
lacks the rough and ready methods of
the professional who is willing to
promise any and everything in order
to win votes.
If this be a fault, then let us have
more of it. The professional vote-get-
ter, suave, ingratiating and persistent,
can made Roadway among those who
hold this important office too cheaply.
But men wha know the duties of the
office of comptroller are anxious to
select man of Mr.. Amos type, rather
than one whose main qualifications
are those of a good mixer.
The office duties of the comptroller
are increasing rapidly in number and
importance. Even during the dull
season, so-called, thirty employees
are kept at work, and double this
number when the busy season is on.
If we want to reward anyone for ser
vice either at home or abroad let us
select an office whose operations are
less complicated and exacting. No man
even IL he be generously endowed
with natural talent, can succeed a man
like Mr.. Amos and come anywhere near
to matching his record. Mr.. Amos
himself was not qualified at the be-
ginning of his term as he is now at the
close, because he has since had nearly
four years practical experience.
The voters of South Dade will pom
der long on the situation before they
pass up candidates like Mr.. Luning
and Mr.. Amos.
In our discussion of county affairs
there is danger that we may overlook
the importance of these two state Of
fices.-Homstead Enterprise.
