PRESS COMMENT
Time to Spend Money.

In1e to spend Money.
Florida farmers have money to spend
that is, most of them have. Some
have more than others, it is true, but
all have some, and now is the time to
spend it. Not for extravaganza, not
for unneeded things, but for actual
necessities, things that they the tillers
of the soil, the growers of fruits and
vegetables and the raisers of cattle
and other livestock, and the good wives
and children of these toilers in the
fields and groves and ranches have
been doing without. With many of
them it isn't a question so much of
having the money as how to spend it
wisely.
This is the time to spend money for
things that are needed, and, perhaps,
few of what are termed the luXuries
of life. It's a long time to be dead
but then you won't need things as you
do now.
Merchants need the money for their
stocks of merchandise, that they may
clear their shelves, pay their bills and
lay in new supplies. The manufacturers
need the orders and the money the
goods ordered will bring to them so
they may keep their mills and shops
running, pay wages, and keep thou
sands and hundreds of thousands en-
plOyed in order that they may live,
buy the food that the farmer produces,
the cloth that is made from the wool
and cotton from the farms, and thus,
and in many other channels and ways,
turn back to the farmers the money
that they need to carry on their bust
ness.
It's what keeps the wheels of bust
ness going round, this spending of
money wisely and not boarding it and
thereby bringing good to nobody, not
even to the hoarders.
There has been a period of foolish
spending. The pendulum has swung
as far the other way. There is now
much of unreasonable refusal to buy.
Foolish spending and unwise refusal
to spend are both wrong, both do harm.
About all that is required now to
make what are called good times" is
wise spending for things needed. Flor
ida, more than any other state in the
union, is financially able TO do it. And
Florida farmers ought to set an exam
pie to the rest of the country.-T7arm
and Livestock Record.

WANTS CITY COMMISSIONERS TO
BE CONSISTENT,

Editor Journal
The city election is near at hand and
it is no time for likes and dislikes to
cut any figure. II present conditions
continue in Pensacola the voters viii
be TO blame. Let us decide on one
man and elect him. As TO that provl-
sion TO vote for the change OF govern
ment IL is so thin that the cOlors are
fading without putting it in water. The
change Of heart was too sudden. Ths
commissioners refused To call the cleo
ton for months because Of a slight
technicality. Now LET them stick 20 the
charter. Section 40 tells how it IS to
be done. The arrangement made to
vote for it at the city election would
not be binding on anybody and they
know it.
Respectfully.

time. Every other damage suit has
been won by the city.
Five Cases to Supreme Court.
Five cases have been carried to the
state supreme court for the city by
Branaman, and each case has been
won. Two of the cases involved
, pioneer tigation-litigation on laws
which had never before been in
terpreted in the courts.
There were twenty eight cases ap-
pealed from the police court to the dis
trict court on the first term after
Branaman took office. Some of the
cases had been postponed again and
again, and set for new trials. Bran
aman appeared in court with his as
sistant, prepared to try all the cases.
Since that time there has been a
noticeable diminution in the number
of cases which have been appealed
from the police court to the district
court.
In the past four terms there have
not been more than four cases ap-
pealed during each term.
The bond issues which have been
made by the city during Branaman's
administration have all been carried
thru without irregularity of any sort.
and have been checked over by the
best bonding lawyers of the country.
At the present time the work in the
office of the city attorney is cleaned
up as well as pOSSlDIe- some
criminal cases are still pending, but
there is only one civil case of any
consequence which has not yet been
settled.
'I have considerable private bust
ness to look after, which will be added
to after January 1, and I shall not be
able to devote the time which it de-
mands to the city work." Branaman
said this morning.
Branaman did not speculate on the
identity of his successor. Il was ap-
pointed without warning or consulta-
the names of several men who have
been consider for the appointment,
I also know the political vacillation
which may affect the appointments"
Branaman said.
The political aspects of the city at
torney's appointment which came up
after the last election have been car
ried on under as air-tight lid" as
such lids ever become.
Several Successors Mentioned.
In the earlier discussion of the ap-
pofntment, the names of Rad Lee,
police Judge; Ralph O'Neil and Rob
ert Webb were frequently mentioned,
as well as the name of Branaman
himself, for reappointment-
Neither the mayor nor any of the
city commissioners would today COM
NIT themselves on the probable sue
cessor, but it is understood that Bran
naman's resignation and the appoint
ment of his successor will be on the
order of business at the next regular
meeting of the commission Tuesday
morning.
"I am sure that the name will not
be mentioned until it is placed before
the commission Tuesday morning-or
whenever it does come up officially"
Mayor Corwine said this morning.

With Fate in Balance, Arms
Delegation in Rupture.
Only North China Represented,
and Delegates at Outs.

Washington, Nov. 12.-With her
fate in the balance, China's delega-
ton entered the conference here today
with dissension in its ranks, unable to
agree on Plan for prosecuting the
fight to preserve her national sover-
eighty and territorial integrity.
Not only is the so-called republic
of South China unrepresented, but it
is stated on high authority that the
North China representatives making
up the delegation are divided among
themselves, and the delegation is with
out a responsible head with authority
to direct its policies
The situation took an important turn
today when it became known that DIR.
Alfred SEE, Chinese minister to the
United States, and one of the three
senior delegates. had dispatched an
emissary to Peking with detailed in
structions and a private code for COM
municating with Doctor SEE.
While those in the secret are nat
urally reluctant to comment officially
upon this mission, it is understood
that the agent of Doctor SEE will at
tempt to induce the Peking govern
ment to designate one of the senior
delegates as head of the delegation
with authority to make decisions after
hearing the views of other members.

CUDAHY BUYS PROPERTY
Packing Company Gets Corner at
Second and Kansas Avenues.

The Cudahy Packing company has
completed details for the purchase of
the southeast corner of second street
and Kansas avenue. This property
has been the Cudahy branch house
headquarters fer number of years
and was purchased from W. A. Sells
Of Topeka. The consideration was not
announced.
Crane Fowler manager of the
branch house department, states that
the company is arranging to remodel
the house and when completed will
have one of the most modern branch
houses in the United States, with
facilities that will enable the company
to handle its products along improved
lines.
Extensive alterations will probably
be commenced in January. The prop
erty purchased by the Cudahy COM
pany is one of the most desira bic in
the wholesale district, having splendid
switching and loading facilities.
This transportation and the rebuild
ing Of the plant were made necessary

w S. Hancock, commissioner of

that there has never been a more eff

done, and the efficiency of his de-
partment." Hancock said. II think

1t was explained that brief speech
by A. J. Balfour, nominating Secre-
tary Hughes for the craftsmanship of
the conference, was the official Brit
ish statement" at the opening session
and he would make no further state
ment at this time.
Reduced to simple terms, the
United States seeks:
First, to prevent competition among
the great powers in the construction
of war machinery-naval, land and
air.
Second, to remove sources of inter
national friction in the Pacific ocean
zone that may lead to future conflict.
Far East Danger Spot
Recognizing the general belief that
America has sought the cooperation
of eight other powers with vital inter-
ests in the Orient to allay the danger
of a ''next world war"
This is generally regarded as the
greatest humanitarian crusade in the
history of mankind. But it is also q
practical scheme for relief from the
overwhelming burden of taxation and
debt.
Is Not Peace Farley.
In no sense is the conference a
peace parley. as the world has known
peace parleys in the past. There IS
no enemy to be punished; no new
frontiel alignments to be worked out :
no spoils of war to be parceled. and
no new alliances to be contracted with
a view to future military co-opera-
tion.

the burdens of a war-weary world and

Armistice Day.

Nine Topeka homes were burglarized
and property valued at more than
1000 was taken Friday afternoon
and evening-in some cases while
or participating in Armistice day ac-
tivities. The widely scattered scenes
of the robberies led the police to be-
lieve that several different men were
implicated.
Five hundred dollars worth of jew
elry and clothing were taken from the
home of o. E. Walker, 305 Greenwood
avenue. Entrance to the house was
gained by prying open a rear window.
