Chicago Office 303-167 Dearborn Street. 4 9 -WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 4, 1911. Carrying Water On Both Shoulders. I For man? years, the esteemed Ocala Banner, of which the still more teemed Nestor of Florida journalism !is jhe editor, haa .been posing aa a Iliberal and" progressive Democrat. It .used to claim to support Mr. Bryan, Swho has three times been, the stand Sard bearer of the. party and whose impolicies have not only been adopted by all of the party, both east and west, but hare also been adopted by the largest and most active wing of the republican party. For some purpose the Banner some Itime ago Joined Mr. Bryan's detractors and in a recent issue it reprints a 'creed from the New York World. 1 The Banner says: I It seems to us that the New York pWorld is giving some good advice to mr. Bryan, and if he will act on the EWorld's mild suggestions that it will largely help to solidify and strengthen the Democratic party. The World .Joses a Tecent article as follows: The World's disinterested advice to ivir. Bryan is to get in step with pro fcressive democracy and give all the fnoral support within hl3 power to the iew leaders. He had his chance he tad three chances and each time the country repudiated him. Even if Mr. Bryan were the soundest and sanest of poKtical economists, which he is not, he i so politically discredited that the hope of the party can lie only in new leadership. Of course Editor Harris of the Ban ner knows that theNew York World has often times not been the true friend of the Democratic party and ihas never at any time In its career, since its' Austrian publisher got con trol of it, been a friend of the south. It has lost few opportunities to de fame this section of the country and if, in its subserviency to Wall street it sees fit to detract from the fame Mr. Bryan has achieved, it does not appear consistent for a newspaper S.ivbl'shed in this part of the country to copy and approve of it i Mr. BTyan has not been discredited. On the other hand he has seenhis personal ', following grow larger every year and he has lived to see not only his own party, but the largest branch of the opposition party take up and endorse- the majority of policies he has advocated. . This to us looks like a wonderful achievement and one that could not !have been done by any but a wonder ful man. We do not wish the Banner or any one' else ' to misunderstand us. Mr. . Bryan is not our candidate for presi dent in 1912. We doubt if he is at the present being considered by any Democratic leader and we are sure that he does not consider himself a candidate. Hfe has a bigger and broader fiejd to work in just now and lie is always sure to be working fo" the n-aminee, unless the nominee hould happen to be a man antagonis tic to the platform, run in by a corrupt interest, as was the case with the nominee for governor of Nebraska, who met the fate he and his sup porters deserved. , v- Nominal Democrats should see that their own policies and principles are in harmony with the progressive spirit of the party and leave Mr. Bryan altogether alone. " He needs no excuses and no de fense. John W. Kern was twice beaten for governor, lost out when a candidate for vice-president, but will come back in a few more days when the legisla ture elects him United States senator. One of the many .things Mr. Bloun: promises to try to accomplish when OLD PEOPLE 1 Made Strong by Vinol. prominent Boston lawyer says: My father is eighty years of age and he owes his present strength and good health to Vinol. . "During the last two trying winters Se never had a cold, and was able tb walk farther and do more than for years. "I think Vinol is perfectly wonder ful. It certainly is the greatest blood making and strengthening tonic for old people I ever heard of?' We wish every feeble old person in this ricinlty would try Vinol on our agreement to return their money if It fails to give satisfaction. Whites -Pharmacy, Pensacola, Fla. Charming Hair Every Woman Can Have it By Using Parisian Sage, Guaranteed by Hannah Bros. There is a reason for the phenome nal sale or Parisian Sage in the Untied States since it was first; introduced into America, and the sales this year are breaking all records. And the reason is plain to all: Pa risian Sage does just what It is adver tised to do. Ask Hannah Bros, about it. They will tell you that they rigidly guar antee it to cure, dandruff, stop falling hair or itching scalp in two weeks, or money back. There is no reason whatever why any man or woman should fail to take advantage of the above generous offer. But one thing that has made Paris ian Sage so famous is its peculiar power to turn the harsh, unattractive hair that many women possess into luxuriant and radiant hair in a short time. Women of refinement the country over are using it and it never disappoints. Sold by leading druggists every where and in Pensacola by Hannah Bros, for 50 cents a large bottle. The girl with Auburn hair is on every package; mail orders filled, charges prepaid, by the American makers, GIroux Mfg. Co.. Buffalo, N. Y. he goes to the United States senate seems too good to be true for some of the supporters of the other candi dates. Mr. Blount intends to hafe the federal government aid in the estab lishment of hard roads throughout the country. Mr. Bryan says it Is "simon pure political buncombe." But as a matter of fact Mr. Blount is well with in the bounds of reason when he promises to make this effort. There is nothing' in the constitution to pro hibit congress appropriating large sums for hard road building; millions vri -,-.t,.a and a like amount should be expended in making Inland highways. Glass blowers for Pensacola sounds mighty good. Baseball shoald be agitated for Pen sacola. Think of going out in the hot afternoons and seeing the home team take a double-header! If the weather seems cold to you, why just take a look at the weather report and sec how cold it is else - where, and then compare notes. One senator from the eastern part of the state and one from the west is the fair way to arrange things, then iL . , . . , ? . south Florida can put in her claim for the governor again. Let's do the thing on the square. The railroad from Pensacola to Mo bile is gradually growing. The Mo bile Register says it will soon be there. It wouldn't do for many governors to read Lord Byron's Chillon." "Prisoner of Politics in Florida is now on a higher plain than ever before. The senatorial campaign has been a very dignified one in every respect. Petticoat manufacturers say that the hobble skirts have put them com pletely out of business. Might get in tie hobble themselves. i looks like Florida will get an other ccnrjssman in spite of' all wo can do. The 435 mark would entitle us to another one. Claude L'Eagle promised the read ers of Dixie the pleasure of looking at cartoons by the famous artist, Tay lor, but we have been looking in vain for two weeks. Unless Claude makes good next week, we will naturally sup pose he is an applicant for member ship in the Teddy-Cook Society. Not too late to make resolutions if "ou forgot about them on the first. Hobson tells his Alabama friends that It Is against the rules to vi3it battleships during services "on Sunday, but if they will tell the officers they are a friend of Hobson that is all that Is necessary to get aboard. In-the battle between the wintry winds from the north and the cheerful smile of the Florida sun, the sun al ways wins, driving the winds back where they belong, and our ideal climate continues. Little early, but let's get the base ball fever. Pensacola's snapper banks are more productive than the potato lands of Hastings and the celery delta of San ford. Nat Goodwin no doubt believes in the theory that variety Is the splco of life. Some editors are chronic kickers. The pensions to veteran and widows of veterans of the civil war given lasi year by the federal government only amounted to about $160,000,000. Why kick about that little sum? The war ended just forty years ago, and we are looking for the amount to go up to five hundred million in as many years more. Wait until you have something to kick about. New York has started the new year right by Installing the Democratic governor. May the new administra tion prove a successful one and let the New Yorkers know what kind of good Democratic government the solid south enjoys. Governor Dix is the first Democratic governor New York has had in sixteen years. STATE PRESS ON SENATORIAL CONTEST. Is Strong in Manatee. Hon. W. A. Blount, 'one of the sena torial candidates, spent Tuesday in Manatee county, speaking in the after noon at Bradentown and at night at Palmetto to fairly good sized au diences. Mr. Blount is neither a po litician or an orator, but is regarded all over the stato as one of its ablest lawyers, and his speeches at botii places bore "oat this estimate of the man. He is making a clean and open campaign, offering himself to the peo ple for election, if they think him the better man, and that he can servo them to better advantage than either of the other candidates. His speech In Bradentown was well received, and we feel quite sure that he will re ceive a strong vote In the primary. Manatee Journal Appeals to Thinking Men. Mr. Blount makes a decidedly fa vorable impression upon thinking men who hear him speak. He makes no appeal to passion or prejudice and practices none of the arts of the dema gogue. Tampa Tribune. To Give Vote to Ablest Man. Hon. W. A. Blount, of Pensacola, made a decidedly favorable Impression. upon the large audience which heard him in this city Vednesday night .ur. diouui aoea uo-x. ut-iuag uj mti ciass or orators wno attempt to play upon the passions and prejudices of the crowd and to bring credit to him self by crying down the characters and the achievements of other men He does not seek to array class against class. He is entirely free of the tactics of the demagogue. He does not appeal for votes on the plea that he can do more for the people than anybody else. He simply tells his audience who and what he is, what be has been able to accomplish in public and in private life, what he believes in and what he adheres to, lani wby he thinks he ought to be se- United States senator from Florida. He bases his claim entirely on his own worth, his capacity for good service to his state. Mr. Blount will receive a large and strong support in Tampa, The matter of geography is not being considered to any great extent by the voters of this section. They realize that they are not to have a senator from their own section and they are disposed to give their votes to the best man, the ablest man, without regard to where he hails from. They have no reason lo believe that, because Mr. Blount - comes from a city as far removed from Tampa as it is possible for a 1 Florida city to be, he will not prove ja faithful advocate of the interests of i Tampa, and its vicinity. j Pimpaf Is J'tf to bear he othfr ?an' dida-tes for the present senatorship. Each of them bas strong Meads and supporters here. It is not possible to f 8a' as yet which of three aspirants win receive a plurality ot tne votes of this county or city. But that Mr. Blount's style of campaign, his man ner of addressing the voters, and. above all, the unquestioned integrity and ability of the man, will win him j ? credit to Florida as a lawyer and a citizen; he would be a credit to Flor ida as a senator. Tampa Tribune. Stockton's Chances. A careful perusad of the" newspa pers with what report there comes iiuui bourres congeais m conclusion uidi me race ior tne unired btates Senatorship will be between Stocktou and Blount. Mr. Stockton's race has received encouragement from the be ginning and has gathered force as it went until it begins to look as if he may be high man in the first primary, though in reason it is to be expected that Mr. Blount will be. Mr. Bryan's candidacy began with a flourish and has fallep very flat. There has been little or no response in the newspa pers to his appeal foi the Broward strength, and Mr. Bryan has not done anything in the way of furthering his own cause by bis attacks on Mr. Stockton and Mr. Blovmt. Mr. Stock ton's long record !n contending for popular right ; his consistent stand for the rights whenever the issue was drawn; his record as a successful business man; his record as a friend, tried and true; Lis record a3 a public official In every walk and in all of them he has measured up to the mark EVER WATCHFUL A Littla Care Will Save Many Pensa cola Readers Future Trouble.

Remember the name Doan's and taker.o other. of a faithful spokesman for the peo ple, a staunch representative of their rights and a fearless foe to public evils. It is the firm belief of many, and this many includes the older men and politicians in Florida, that John N. C. Stockton Is by reason of his long study of public affairs, his long acquaintance with conditions in Flor ida, his punctilious ideas of conduct In official position, better qualified than any man In the race for the po sition of Senator, and regardless of faction and former affiliations they have determined to cast their votes for him. John Stockton entered this race and approaches the high posi tion he seeks . with dignity that is born of a just comprehension of its duties and responsibilities. He has been conducting a thorough speech making tour. , Everywhere he has been received with warmth and some times with enthusiasm. His meetings have been far more spontaneous than his competitors have been able to arouse. There is a feeling that the occasion and the man have met in this instance; that the sober and sincere judgment of the people is being exer cised in the choice; that beneath the calm, if not somewhat indifferent exterior, there is the leaven of justice and common sense at work, and that John Stockton will be the choice of a majority in the forthcoming pri maries. Mr. Stockon will speak in Miami December 30th. It is planned or Col. Robert W. Davis to speak from the same platform in behalf of jfr. Stockton. It will be a kindly and pleasing Right to see see the old horses of Florida Democracy stand side by side and for once in their lives agree upon a single proposition. They are agreed this time, and the question that brought them together was that John Stockton should be the next United States Senato"r from Florida Miami Metropolis.

The Christmas edition of the Pensa cola Journal issued yesterday morn ing was indeed a triumph. We have seen many special holiday papers printed in cities throughout the south this year and in former years, but, without question, the Christmas num ber of The Pensacola Journal for 1910 exceeded all standards. It did not have more pages than previous papers or home making, both the Evening News and The Journal, itself, Laving issued larger papers than the forty eight page publication of yesterday morning, but never betcre have we seen so much good, readable, well written, elevating, boosting, entertain ing literature and art crowded to gether into forty-eight pages. From a standpoint of the business office tie Christmas Journal was well Oiled with judicious advertising, the amount of which eloquently pro claimed the progresEiveness of Pensa cola and its business houses. The Christmas Journal wa3 certain ly the fruit of days of hard work by scores . of writers and mechanical workers, and as an advertisement of what the Deep Waiter Citv is and is -h.twiMa nf hnirvtr aT. ..-.ins? th u.a nf yesterday has not been paralleled, js structure having no flaw, its com position no blemish. Pensacola News. Thinks Journal Led List. The state dailies did some big work in the Christmas edition line but the Pensacola Journal undoubtedly led the bunch this year. Special articles on "My Conception of the United States Senate," by Blount and by Stock'on, rival candidates, Governor Gilchrist, Senator Fletcher, Editor Felkel of the News and others aided in making Frank Mayes's paper a hummer.
