Friend Hoffman says he loves Pen
sacola. l join him in the same senti-
ments. / have loved Pensacola longer
than Friend Hoffman, and have never
hesitated in demonstrating that love,
even to on more than one occasion
demonstrating the fact by putting my
own person in jeopardy for the good
of Pensacola, and giving my time and
means, not alone to public print, who
/ found stands always ready to advo-
cate right and denounce wrong, but
with few others in times past and
now forgotten, had to make a. personal
demonstration to eradicate and down
wrong and drive out from the commu-
nifty scoundrels in the shape of men
who were detrimental to the good and
beneficial influence and uplift and
welfare of my beloved city, and stand.
ready today to help in any way I can
to uphold the good name of my be-
loved Pensacola.
The young man said to his sweet
heart that he would do anything for
her. He would steal for her, lie for
her and cry for her, but he would not
die for her. I won't do anything in that
line, for my sweetheart is Pensacola,
but win write for her and sing for
her and talk for her and fight for her
and will jeopardize my own person for
her present and future good
am against any unlawful means
taken by anybody or men in the COM
munity, but there is time now, and we
have them right now where the law
and order is set aside and wrongs of
all kinds are daily perpetrated, and
these are never punished or even
brought before the bar of justice and
the official body, to whom our citi-
zens look for adjustment or les
SEEMING of these daily outrages, seem to
be entirely helpless.
My friend. Mr.. Hoffman, suggests
that every good citizen should help
the authorities to do away with this
daily practice and outrage, but If T..
as citizen, know these things that are
affidavit and swear before authorities
my allegations, that 1 may see and
know that such wrongs are in daily
practice, and still not able to make a
sworn statement to bring the individ-
uals to justice.
That is what we have officers, police
and detective departments for. and if
these are not able to handle and punish
the constant preparation Of these
wrongs, let a body of citizens form an
organization and get three or four men,
pay them a proper salary, VINO will do
nothing else except to find out, inyes-
tigate and help to bring all wrong do
ers before the city government, and
the courts investigating the actions
of some men under the name of Klu
Klux will not stop these outrages that
are daily practiced, not alone by the
man whom they notified to leave here,
but by others.
1t is certainly a diabolical shame
that the citizens as a body sit with
their hands folded and take no steps
to put stop to these damnable out
RACES in and about the different To-
calities nand about our beloved Pen
sacola, and bring her good name in
bad repute.
Remember, that actions speak louder
than words. Act now and take such
Immediate steps that will forever
abolish the infamous practice in our
fair city.
In conclusion. will say with all due
respect to our martial and law bodies.
If some of the energies that are now
directed in finding out the KIu Klux

for any organizations to try to stop
crime or wrong.
