The old Sunday school hymn gives
good advice, IF you don't at first sue
coed. try, try again." It is the duty Of
every human being that If we have
anything that Is good or know Of any
thing that would be beneficial to our
neighbors as well as to ourselves to
make It known; keep in memory that
no one lives to themselves; the
Heavenly Father has made all human
beings dependent upon one another
From the cradle to the grave we de-
pend upon each other. This being an
indisputable fact, we must not stop
or give up anything for the good OF
others mad ourselves. OF course, we
don't see any immediate results. Keep
on trying, and by using your brain,
will power and energy you'll see your
constant application what Is good and
might be crowned with success. We
want many things, but the most i'm
pcrtant for our present and future
welfare that We must have a small
portion Of the worlds commerce.; that
all of our sister cities built on the
coast, and even SO miles up the river
have a dock or a wharf owned by the
city.
The city OF Pensacola, the best and
greatest seaport on the gulf and At
lantio coast, has not even a shadow Of
one that even the fishing smacks
could come to, day come and day GO
The same thing over and over, no
unity and action. no combined energies /
by the citizens to construct the most
needful Of the most vital Importance
to Pensacola shipping dock. Noth<
ing seemingly is being done. not even
to select the best and most popular
ships, not fishing smacks and row
boats, and to construct a proper dock /
within our means. Cut out all these
damnable fancy notions of tourist ac-
commodation an observatory struc-
ture and build something that we need
right now. a serviceable structure that
will take deep draft ships to bring and
carry away various commodities of
that is in constant demand
and from which we don't even get q
smell, or even q little taste, because we
have no accommodations either in
wharfs or IN warehouses. read q let
ter the other day sent to Mr.. Simpson
by Mayor Sanders from the naval COM
mander. wanting information on
for naval ships to lay up and
repair. You can imagine the reply.
The commissioners want the aid and
assistance Of the United body Of citi-
zens In the multitude Of counselors.
Here Is wisdom; act now and use the
best place for the present and future
welfare of Pensacola and Escambia
county. "A dock Is required for all pur-
poses for Import and export, and COM
nercial construction Of such docks IS
'equired for the export Of all commodi-
les from sea and land. Wake up, draw
n some Of the blessed God given
zone. fill your lungs and get fun Of
Yep, and remember that immediate ac-
ions Is required and not procrastina-
ion, not yesterday or tomorrow. but
oday.
Now, I think that Pensacola has car
led the shame long enough Of being
he largest and best seaport in the
United States witheu3 municipal
ook or wharf. Let every citizen do his
uty in helping to build up and blend
0 benefit anything that Is for the good
( Escambia county, which is the duty
( everyone TO do his part IN bringing
nto service anything for the good of
ur city and county.
The article in The journal on the
9th about Mr. J. 3, Morrow. indus
rial commissioner explains full, In
Equitable facts that should put an
nd to the disputes on that subject.
am very sorry that I stepped on Mr..
Walkers toes about the louisville &
nashville railroad. / said nothing

Walker. and be says that what I dfd

In conclusion. win only say IL Is
