Many people could not always agree
with Bailey in his positions, but his
opinions up to this time have usually
been respected.
Senator Bailey certainly pulled off
an unusual stunt and if he abides by
his own decision and does not recon
sider the matter when he understands
what he has really done, the governor
of Texas wta be called upon to appoint
someone to fill the unexpired term.
It is to be regretted that this hap
pesed ust at thjs time for the Demo
cratic party needed all of its strength
and the Judgment of its older mem
bers in the new session of congress
which the president will call.
Bailey has had an unusual record
and the way in which he steps down
and out is as unusual as it is unique.

' The State Retail Dealers Association holds its annual 'convention in Jack
I eonviHe this week. March 8 to 10. The State Retail te&lers Magazine, which
is the official organ of the association. advises that "one of the most vita
i questions that will come up before the convention is the parcels post bill," and
I tie Magazine then proceeds to tell what "tremendous Joss" this bill would
gaean to the merchants in the state. -
Strong resolutions should be drawn up protesting against the parcels poat,
say the Retail Dealers Magazine, and our congressmen and senators should
; fc urged to co-operate for its defeat.
'l The Journal hopes the Retail Dealers will not be so foolish as to do any
i thing of the kind. They will simply make themselves ridiculous by such
faction.
The parcels post is coming. The United States is today practically the
emly civilized nation that does not possess it. The people would benefit by it
C3 people want H, and the people are going to have ft.
The real opponents of the. parcels post are the railroads and the express
companies. The express companies do not want it because it would prevent
them from longer getting two and three and four times the real cost of carry
ing small parcels. The railroads do not want it because, through the express
companies, the railroads are now enabled to practice their biggest graft on
the public t
An attempt is being made to array the retail dealers of the country
against the parcels post on the ground that it will hurt or ruin their business.
The parcels' post will not hurt their business at all, but will help it The
parcels post will enable these same retail dealers to develop a rural trade that
they now neglect or are unable to get. The parcels', post, combined with the
rural telephone, will put tho retail dealers in direct touch with the farmer
and with the valuable patronage which the" farming districts are making
. bigger as improved facilittes permit. ' , .
But suppose the parcels post did hurt the retailer. Would that be any
reason why the great consuming public should continue to pay exorbitant
and unjust transportation charges? The argument which the retailer presents
iii opposition to the parcels post viz: that high transportation rates are
! necessary to the existence of his business Is an argument that will do more
than anything else to convince the consumer that the parcels post is a good
I thlsg. - '
But the retailer will discover his error. When stage coaches first came
j into use, the Inn-keepers all protested on the ground that the stage coaches
would destroy their business because people would not have to stay all night
at the inns, Labor saving devices of all Kinds have, when first introduced,
always been fought by laboring men on the ground that the machines would
throw tie men out of work, though with the installation of machines come
more work for more men than' there was before. Harvesting machines and
thrasbinjr machines were burned in some sections of the country because the
farmer's hired bands thought the machines would put them out of a Job,
; printers kicked on the Mergenthaler because they said the printers must all
i starve to death when it was installed, but there is no more work for printers
than aver In the history of the world. The trolley car and the automobile
! were to put the horse out of business, but they didn't
And so It will be with the retailer and the parcels post. The parcels post
will corns and the retailer win wonder how be could ever have been so foolish
as to oppose it. Revolutions never go backward.

the waters would not only be as full of
the various kinds of fish as at pres

The cost is insignificant In compari

if the station were established. It is a
station which Pensacola should make
an effort to secure. No doubt the
stats will provide the necessary sltt
and It will only remain for the secre
tary of commerce and labor to decide
upon the location. Thla should not be

GOODMAN TO THE
VOTERS -
:' : ov.c,o,,;. v
. .V,: s n-
.i
Believing that a man running for the office of
Mayor of the City of Pensacola should tell the
people what to expect of him should he be elected
to this high office, I hereby submit a few of the
Principlesthat I will stand for, so that each
voter will know what to expect of me :
FIRST I will endeavor to have the Souths
-eastern Underwriters' Association, who fix the
fire insurance rates in the City of Pensacola, put
this City on the First-Class Insurance Basis; this
would save the Tax-payers about 20 per cent, on
their insurance, which would enable them to carry
more insurance on their Homes, Furniture and
Stocks, thus safeguarding themselves against fire
loss. '
SECOND I will endeavor to have the Gas and Electric Lights rates re
duced through the assistance of the Council.
THIRD I will favor a reduction in the Water rates, which can be done if
the Water Consumers are not burdened with the necessary extensions and ad
ditions to the plant. I am in favor of these additions, but I am not in favor of
the water consumers paying for them. The plant is the property of-the tax
payers and the additions should be paid for by them. The Water Department
has not only had to pay for these additions and extensions, but turned over to
the general fund of the City last year out of its earnings, $10,000.00. If this had
not been done, this money could be used for the present extensions, and the
water rate could now be reduced. As will be seen from the above, I am in
favor of a reduction in the rates, and at the same time I show how it can be done.
FOURTH I will endeavor to bring about a systematic inspection of
Weights and Measures that will guarantee the purchaser, as well as the seller,
"accuracy at all times. .
FIFTH Knowing that it is my duty, I will, if elected, consult with the
members of the Council on all matters of importance before asking them to act
on the same, and will work harmoniously with the different Boards, to the end
that all improvements may be carried on at all times without overdrawing the
funds apportioned to the Boards, urging upon each Department of the City the
fact that the City should be run on the same economical lines that a private
business is run on.
SIXTH I will recommend that all salaried Officers ofvthe City except the
Registration Officer and Treasurer shall devote their entire time to the duties
of their office, ceasing all outside work.
SEVENTH .Following out my action when I was Mayor in recommend
ing the Eight (8) hour system for the Police department, I will recommend to
the Council the establishment of the Eight (8) hour system on all city work.
EIGHTH I will favor the new sewer work being done by the City under
the supervision of the Board of Bond '. Trustees' Engineer; as a rule I favor all
work of this kind being done by contract, but this is, in my opinion, an exception
to the rule, as there is nothing to be gained by this work being done by con
tract, and on the other hand, there is a great deal to be gained by the City doing
: it as above suggested. The present engineer, Mr. Rommel, was on the work
. when the last sewer was put down, and besides, there are a number of men who
were employed by the former contractor as forenien, who are residents of Pen-
' sacola, the experience of these men would, in my opinion, insure the City a bet
ter job than if a stranger was to get the contract and bring men here to do the
work that are not familiar with the conditions of our city. If this is done the
City would save the Contractor's profit, and all the mone except that spent for
material would be left at home.
NINTHShould the City in the near future decide to issue Bonds for Pub
lic Improvements I will favor and do my utmost to have a portion of the same
specified for a Public City Wharf. This is at present almost a necessity, and as
the City grows the need of such a wharf will be felt by our people very much.
: . . TENTH If I am elected to the Office of Mayor of the City of Pensacola
I will exercise all the powers given me by the City Charter, and will at all times
render the City the best services that it is possible to do. J will be the Mayor
of all the people and not of any clique or faction. v

Florida will vote for a man who
worked for Jacksonville and the east
coast to the detriment of this end of
the state, we don't think. Jacksonville

to bring out, and If she can get Stokes

The New Railroad.
. Pensacola is to have a new railroad,
leading from that thriving city to Jas

viding for the use of streets, the city
council of Pensacola has provided that

a uniform prlc. This has not been
done in the past end the L. & N. Rail
road, according to the Journal, has
used, and is using the streets of Pen
sacola and docking privileges as if they
were the most private of private prop
erty. The L. & N. Railway, by its
abuse of the privileges granted it in
the state, county and city, is respon
sible for the defeat of William A.
Blount in the recent primary. The
people of the state recognized Mr.
Blount's ability, his personal Integrity,
and his clean - life but they, were
afraid to trust him in high office be
cause of his long association with the

ALL FLORIDA IS
k FOR MR. SPARKMAN
. . .Tampa .Tribune,
The Jacksonville Board of Trade has
recognized the Importance to the inter
ests of the state of Florida of having
Hon. S. M. Sparkman. of this city, suc
ceed to the chairmanship of the rivers
and harbors committee of the house of
representatives- to which he is by
usage and precedent entitled, being the
ranking Democratic member of the
present committee. That body at a re
cent meeting passed resolutions en
dorsing Mr. Sparkman. for the honor,
which read as follows:
"Whereas, the Hon. Stephen M.
Sparkman. a member of congress from
the state of Florida, has for many
years ably participated in the work of
the rivers and harbors committee of
congress, and his services have not
alone been beneficial to his own state,
but the entire nation has been bene
ficiary of his able and devoted service
to the cause of rivers and harbors Im
provement; therefore, be it
"Resolved, by the Board of Trade of
Jacksonville, Fla., that we earnestly
and confidently express the hope that
in the formation of the livers and har
bors committee of the incoming con
gress, the work, the knowledge, ability
and seniority of service of Mr. Spark
uom uiii be ttcczuLibii by bis selection
as . chairman or tne committee on
rivers and harbors of the federal con
gress."
The members of the board further
agreed to write representatives in con
gress from other states, with whom
they enjoy personal acquaintance, and
to do everything else in their power
calculated to advance the candidacy of
Mr. Sparkman for the position.
Many other agencies of Influence
throughout the state are working to
the same end. While it is reported that
certain movements are co-operating to
give the chairmanship of this commit
tee to another man, It is believed that
Mr. Sparkman's strong and influential
position among his fellow-members, as
well as the impressive demand for bis
appointment that will come from his
own state, will be successful in obtain
ing for him this deserved recognition.
Only some petty game of politics could
desire any other appointment for Mr.
Sparkman is entitled, not only . by
precedent but by his conspicuous
ability and his thorough knowledge of
river and harbor conditions through
out the country, to have charge of this
very important department of the work
of congress.
WHAT RECIPROCITY
MEANS FOR FLORIDA

Florida's famous early fruits will
have free access to Canadian markets.
Florida fruit growers have long recog
nlzed the value of securing even re
ductions in Canada's fruit tariff, and
have repeatedly petitioned our . state
department to attempt some relief.
was with these requests in mind that
Canada was asked and prevailed upon
to concede, with reluctance, not mere
ly the reduction but the entire aboil
tion of her duties on fresh fruits from
the United States. Early strawberries
and other berries from Florida, as well
as her grapes, now encounter a duty
of two cents per pound on entry to
Canada. Peaches are taxed $1.00 per

The importance of Canada's complete
removal of these duties has been the
subject of numerous appreciative let
ters from Florida to the government.
Last year the United States sold Jl.

ing 1281.000 for the privilege. Garden
produce from Florida will now find
ready salt in Canada free of all tarif
