.Tom Johnson
And the Work He Did.
J
. Tom Johnson was one -of the coun-
l try's great men and It is a pity that we
have not more like him.
' Hla work as a member of congress
aid as mayor o' Cleveland gave him
a nation-wide reputation and he left
j those offices with a record of accom-
--yllshment such as few men can boast.
But whether In office or out of It.
' Tom Johnson was a restless, persistent,
and aggressive agitator for progressive
policies and civic righteousness and hla
work and agitation to those ends have
left the world an Infinite gainer from
his having lived.
The policy with which his name Is
most prominently Identified was the
three-cent street car fare proposition
for. Cleveland. Mr. Johnson failed In
the end to establish and mantaln
the three-cent rate, but the light
he shed on the street car busi
ness and the fight he led for public
. control of the business left the people
ef Cleveland in a position to deal with
this Important question which they
could never have assumed had It not
. been for his leadership.
The most striking characteristic of
Tom Johnson's life was his utter in
difference to his own personal welfare.
Vith an ability to have made himself
many times a millionaire, he repeatedly
-sacrificed his personal fortunes In the
Interest of the public good.
,. Whether or not we may agree with
eJl of Tom Johnson's policies none can
" deny that he was a good and a great
-man and that his life, in striking con
trast to so many men of similar ability
but of different purpose, was devoted
"to his fellow-man to a degree seldom
surpassed In the work of the world's
great characters.
More Voting Places
Are Necessary.
In accordance with its annual cus
tom, following either a city or county
primary. The Journal again calls at
tention to the necessity for more voting
precincts In Pensacola.
It ought not to be necessary to do
this every year, but The Journal always
finds It so and consequently must again
perform its duty In that respect.
There were 2180 ballots, cast for
mayor In Tuesday's primary. Each
ballot had 78 names on It and It was
not an unusually long ballot at that.
There were 11 voting places which
made approximately 200 votes In each
place. This would not be so bad had
the voters been thus equally divided,
but in five of these precincts there
were over 200 votes and In one of
. them the number was nearly 500.
"What Inspector wants to spend all
flay In a voting place and then nil
night and part of the next day count
ing ballots in the same place?
What inspector also can do this and
Crake an accurate count?
The whole thing is absurd. There
ught to be at least 25 voting places in
the city of Pensacola and in no case
should there be more than 100 votes
apportioned to any one precinct.
Before the elections of next year are
held, the county comlmssloners should
divide these city precincts and ehouid
do it properly. You can't continue to

Dr. Byrd's Handbook
On Hookworm.
There has Just come to The Journal's
exchange., table a little book by Dr.
Hiram Byrd, assistant state health of
ficer, dealing with the Hookworm Dis
ease. The book contains 70 pages, is
illustrated, and is altogether the most
complete, and. at the same time, most
easily understood discussion of the
hookworm that we have seen.
The attention which the state board
of health Is giving to the hookworm
subject is very gratifying Indeed. The
disease Is one which prevails generally
throughout the rural districts of Flor
Ida, but it is one of the easiest of all
diseases to handle.
The treatment Is simple and Inex
pensive. A little thymol followed by
epsom salts and the work is done. No
excuse exists anywhere for a contin
uance of the disease.
If you are Interested and you ought
to be address a pcatal card to Dr.
Hiram Byrd, Jacksonville, and he will
send you a copy of this very Interest
ing pamphlet.
Our correspondent at Tallahassee
says there's a rocky road ahead of the
bill putting county offices on a salary
oasis ana that the sheriffs' association
has representatives there working
against it. We could not exDect any
thing else in a matter like this for
naturally tne office-holders profiting so
handsomely by the present law will not
want their little gold "mines Interfere 3
with. They have a perfect right to
lobby if they want to, but the people
have asked for the chansa and tho
legislators should do what the peoplj
nave asKea tnat they do.
Frank Clark sees another way to
save Uncle Sam thirty-five thousand
dollars. Just another example of
economy advocated by the Democrats.
The lower house, if not both of
them, will make a start in the attempt
to give freedom to the Philippine Is
lands. A resolution with reference to
the mater has been introduced, but this
is simply the beginning of the. cam
paign, and those agitating the move
ment propose to solicit the aid of thyir
people at home and have them write
to their representatives in Washington
to carry this matter to a hannv com
pletion and give the Inhabitants of tha
islands the freedom they desire.
Kansas girls are working in the fields
and find that it suits them better than
learning to cook. Good exercise Is fine
ror anyone and where there are too
many girls It won't hurt them to try a
little of the field work.
Two million dollars would not tempt
Mr. Bryan to take ud his abode in
Memphis, but they might get Hobson
or Kooseveit IT advertising is all they
want for their city.
The reciprocity agreement will be
supported by the Democrats to keen
faith with the president. It was uoon
their promise that he called the extra
session.
The famous Elgin butter works sold
two million dollars more last year than
the year before. This kind of business
would prove very profitable In Florida
where there is a large market amd the
Industry is not engaged in at all.
Jacksonville mad dogs are still run
ning wild through the streets and there
are those who fight the movement to
have the dogs muzzled. Already tomo
dozen people have been bitten by these
dogs. Just a warning to Pensacola, if
we will take It.

Hearst's desire to come back to the
fold does not set well with the Mont

with a good many other Democratic
papers, but as lonsc as we have the

no matter how degenerate, will be
given admittance. Our opinion of
Hearst wouldn't look well in print, but
when we studied the Sunday school

CONGRATULATING HIM ON THE
ABLE MANNER IN WHICH HE
HANDLED VARIOUS SUBJECTS.
SpeelaJto The Journal.
Tallahassee, April 12 The follow
ing Is a copy of one of many com
munications received by Governor Gil
christ. It is published with the hope
that the sentiments expressed therein
may be conducive towards the enact
ment in the future, if not In the pres
ent, of certain changes in our laws.
"Hon. A- W. Gilchrist, Governor. Tal
lahassee, Fla.
"My Dear Sir It has been my cus-,
torn, in my family and with my fel-'
lowmen, to give expressions of com
mendation when and where deserved.
In obedience to this custom. I think it
right and proper to give expression to
my feelings concerning your message
to the Florida legislature, which mes
sage it has been my pleasure to finish
reading this day.
"I desire to say that. In my humble
opinion, this message shows that you
have given a careful study of the
conditions that we are battling with
at the present time; the things that
are closest to our everyday life; the
matters pertaining to our very exist
ence. "Your criticism of the practice and
procedure of the courts of our state
seems to be well founded. It is a sad
commentary on our system of Juris
prudence that so many of our law
yers and Judges haVe been trained up
in the narrow way of a technical le
gal education devoid of the power of
reasoning and1 the knowledge of com
mon sense. .
"I congratulate and commend that
you for your plain and frank expres
slons on the affairs of state, and I
trust that our legislature, now in ses
sion, will be benefitted by your sug
gestions and counsel."
Another Letter.
The governor today also received
from one of the leading lawyers of
central Florida a letter in which the
following allusions were made to the
biennial message which the governor
sent to the Florida legislature last
Tuesday:
"It appeals to me as being one of
the ablest documents of this kind ever
sent to the legislature of this state.
"I hope I will not appear too person
al when I say that this message Is re
plete with information every Intelli
gent citizen of this state should pos
sess, and, but for your painstaking
care, they could not acquire. Your re
marks about female education must
meet the unqualified approbation of
every right thinking person, and the
economy practiced by the present ad
ministration is certainly gratifying to
the tax-payers. I note what you have
to say about the repeal of the law al

law not only offers a reward for and
a temptation to commit perjury, but
what Is worse. In my opinion, often re
sults, I verily believe, In the convic
tion of innocent persons, frequently
those too weak or too poor to protect
themselves. Strike tt out.
"In the matter of the circuit Judges
and the state attorneys, your observa
tions are equally fitting, and if these
Ideas had been put Into effect long
ago, there would have resulted a
great saving to the UU and to liti
gants and their attorneys. As a law
yer of long active practice at the bar.
I know what it Is to suffer loss of
time and mental worry on account of
the dilatorlnei" and lack of business
methods on the part of eoir.e of the
Judges before whom I have been called
to practioe. Of course, this does not
apply to all Judges, but it doea with
Justice apply to some of them.
"On of the most Important subjects
touched upon In your mesaae. as I
see It. Is that cf ao-oalled due pro
cess of law. Of course, all of us want
the laws duly ezecuted, and no one
should be deprived of lif liberty or
property without 'due process of law,'
and that is not where the trouble lies.
The difficulty grows out of the narrow
and technical construction the courts
seem to have fallen Into when consid
ering this matter. There should be
some way devised whereby the merits
of a controversy may be brought
speedily before the court and deter
mined according to the Justioe of each
Individual case, and an end put to the
litigation. Jut how this should be
done, is a problem, but the sugges

relieve what Is now a moet deplorable
sltaution. I quite agree with you on
this subject. There is too much cir
cumlocution and too many technical
quibbles In our present methods of
procedure, and these matters often
becloud the real Issue and defeat the
real ends of Justice.
