Stillman Asks
For ReAppointment
It has come to The Journals atten
tion that Hon John E Stillman is an
applicant for reappointment to his
present position as collector of cus
toms for the port ot Pensacola
The Journal had fondly hoped that
the collector of customs as well as
the other federal officers in Pensacola
would this time be appointed by Mr i
Bryan but tho inexorable verdict of
the American people In the last presi
dential election imposes that duty
upon a republican president Mr t
It is possible that advice from demo
cratic sources may have no influence
with Mr Taft but the fact that the
people who are served by the various
government offices in Florida are most
ly democratic gives them an interest
in presidents appointments which
we believe he will not overlook
If we may presume therefore that
democratic endorsement may recoivo
some consideration The Journal win
take this occasion to say that it be
lieves the reappointment of Mr Still
man as collector of customs will meet
the Approval of the vast majority of
the citizens of all parties who know
him or who have business with his
office
Pensacola does not possess a citizen
who is more active in the cause of
good citizenship or civic progress than
Is Mr Stiliman and bis service as
collector has been eminently satisfac J
tory to the people who have business I
with the customs department Presi
dent Taft will make no mistake In re
appointing him
Last Mondays Election
In Alabama
I
The election in Alabama last Mon
day demonstrated one thing viz that
the people of Alabama do not want
the particular amendment upon which
they voted incorporated in the consti
tution of the state The vote which
has not yet been officially reported
was about 50000 for the amendment
and 75000 against it the antiamend
ment majority being about 25000
Ordinarily the vote against the
amendment would naturally be con
strued as a vote against the prohibi
tion of the liquor tramc but a singular
unanimity of sentiment in Alabama
seems to place an entirely different
construction upon it The Montgom
ery Advertiser which led the campaign
against the amendment says
As showing how misleading the
newspaper headlines may sometimes
be we find in the Pittsburg Post of
last Tuesday a special sent out from
Birmingham which the Posts headline
writer thus exploited Prohibition Is
Defeated Alabama gives majority
against proposition to make state
dry To begin with Alabama did
Dot vote on prohibition and conse
quently prohibition was not defeated
In any way In the second place the
state is already as dry as the law
can make It and the adoption or de
feat of the proposed amendment could
make no change in existing laws
The Mobile Register another lead
ing antiamendment paper says
There is said to be a disposition on
the part of some persons to read the
results of Mondays election to mean
that the prohibition laws are now a
dead letter and the sale of liquor may
be resumed unhindered We venture
the opinion that this will be found to
bea great error of judgment The
laws are still what they were the ma
chinery for enforcing them Is the
same and the penalties remain un
changed There is sure to be trouble
for those who are caUght in the act
Let no one imagine that the issue in
the late campaign was saloon or no
saloon It was the greater Issue of the
right of the people to change burden
some legislation
The Montgomery Advertiser in
commenting on the meaning ot the re
sult again says
It does not moan a defiance of exist
ing laws in Alabama There may be
those who interpret the vote that way
but they will find themselves mis
taken There were thousands of pro
hibitionists who voted against the
amendment in fact If it had not been
for their votes the victory would not
have been possible These prohibi
tionists and the conservative nonpro
hibitionists alike intend to see the
statutes given a fair trial for enforce
ment And very probably the contest
as settled will bring about a greater
determination on tho part of the lead
Ing people on both sides to frown
down any defiance of the laws If the
laws are unwise or inefficient in any
respect or for any community they
must be upheld and endured until they

A Bad Breath Boon

Her Lips Red as Cherries Thrice

Her Teeth Like the Pearl
Her Hair Tangled Curl
Her Breath Like Sweet Blowing
Clover
So much for poetry But STUARTS
CHARCOAL LOZENGES ARE prose
as well They are practical and for
everyday use and they will make any
ones breath just as sweet and whole
some as the Girls breath In the eong
And what is nicer than a sweet
clean breath and what more offensive
than a bad foul one Every one tries
to get rid of It themselves and tolerate
it In their friends DutIt is awfully
trying and puts friendship and senti
ment to a severe test
A bad breath Is a sort of unspoken
imputation on cleanliness you cant
get away from it and cant explain
You can take foolish little remedies to
disguise It for an hour or so but this
is suggestive your breath Is unnatural
and your friends wonder why
Bad breath comes once in a while
from decayed teeth but there Is a
quick and effectual remedy for this
the dentist It comes as a rule 99
times out of 100 from a bad stomach
Foods gone wrong digestion im
paired assimilation imperfect nutri

misunderstanding all around
I And meanwhile a bad condition of
I things Is inaugurated There is flatu

is opened and a tribe of troubles let
loose any one of which might appaL

changes taking place in the stomach

and disagreeable results are evolved
Bad Breath is conspicuous among
them because always In evidence No
use to doctor this or disguise it It
is an innocent sufferer
GO STRAIGHT TO TUB CAUSE
The STOMACH Put that in order
and the Breath will take care of itself
Charcoal has been a remedy for disor
dered stomachs for centuries It is
one cure that is almost as old as
the hills
Summing up charcoal In its pulver

sorbent Stuarts Lozenges supply a

and efficient They embody a plain
practical proposition

can be modified and Improved Ala
bama must be a lawabiding state and
the selfish or reckless element will
soon find the dominating influence of
the antiamendment forces everywhere
against an interpretation of the vote
as a license to excesses I
It would seem therefore that the
open saloon in Alabama is in about as
bad a fix as it ever was and if what
the antiamendment leaders and papers
say may be taken as an indication of
public sentiment there is little pros
pect of its return
What effect the Alabama election
will have upon the Florida election
next November is problematical The
question in Florida is somewhat dif
ferent and the same result may not
necessarily follow here Candor com
pels one to admit however that while
the Alabama result may not have any
direct influence in Florida it neverthe
less affords an indication of what Flor
ida voters may do when they vote on
the same question
In the meantime Alabamians are
now cooling off and Floridians may
very properly keep cool for several
months to come

store was forced by burglars last
night the safe was blown open and
about 175 in cash and stamps was
stolen The stamps were valued at
about 77 The cash taken from the
safe amounted to about 99

The postoffice is situated In the
store of Patterson and the door was
forced after much effort
Tracing the theft it was discovered
that the burglars secured from Boyd
Coopers shop a chisel and hammer
from J H Pattersons gin house a
large wrench and from the car house
of Section Foreman Drawdy a large
sledge hammer With these tools
they easily broke open the front door
of the store and using some kind of
an explosive they blew the door of the
safe to pieces using clothing to deaden
the sound Several persons said they
heard the explosion but did not con
nect It with burglars
The sheriff with his bloodhounds
was called but the dogs refused to
take the track
