Jlartr Sullivan, the Washington rep resentative of Collier's, In. the current number of that weekly, uses'fthese words: "If the democratic - party should hold a , primary, -tomerorw. Woortrow Wilson -would get fully two thlrcJaof the vote, and carry-about tfrress-fourths of the states,"" It should remembered In this connection that Mark Sullivan is- stationed- where the national political "pulse "beats and. is well - qualified to diagnose the situa tion. As Wilson 13 waxing,-not wan ing', his friends may well feel satis fied with tba situatlon--Tampa Times. To male use of an already muchly rised expression, 'Governor Wilson ftms to be "the man of the hour.' And there is reason for it. No man can develop such a follow ing? as the New Jersey governor now lias unless" the people are fully con vinced that ha represents and believes in tho things that the "people believe la and want. ' If Woodrow Wilsop is strong today It is for no other reason than the people are fully convinced "that he Is for the things that the -people want which is nothing? more nor less than a- honest government by, for and of tb people. The same things which make him strong today and a choice of three-fourths of the Democrats win make him strong tomorrow, and at th polls next November. .

The Journal can wish for the people of that section nothing better, than that the Express con tinue as newey and bright as the first number. '- , ' Women at Head : Of City Schools. , In no line of work have women made as much progress during recent years as they have In school work. Whether the business world has of fered better opportunities to man to leave the school teaching world, or whether it is woman's natural fitness for the work, we will not presume to . say, but it is a fact that in many places women are gradually but sure- " Jy. taking the places formerly occu pied by men in the schools of the cities of the country. Only a few years ago the impres sion 'availed" that for the primary grades an elderly woman was all right as a teacher, but the first grades fin? . isbed the child should be Instructed by a man. That, however, was before school teaching became a profession and before schools and colleges began preparing young women to enter this field of usefulness. Chicago boasts of her schools since Mrs. Young became superintendent and now Cleveland has taken a simi lar step by appointing Miss Keeler superintendent for that city. Other smaller cities are doing likewise, and wherever it has been tried it has proven, satisfactory In every respect. Presfient Taft says he wants white delegates to the Republican national convention. Perfectly willing for as many as we have to go, but the pre si dent Is asking too much when he wants all of the delegates to be white ones, because there are not enough in the south. Criminal Minds Relieved by Surgery. It Si no new theory that criminal propensities may often be - due to physical defects. -.- Surgical cases lately reported from Philadelphia and Toledo, O., lift the idea above the plane of mere theory even to the lay mind. Tho connection between the mind and the body is still a mystery, but progressive science shows tho con nection to be much closer than was even imagined possible a century ago. If has been common for many years to restore reason destroyed by injury to the head, by relieving the brain pressure; the nature of the Insanity may sometimes even indicate the exact location of the pressure when it Is caused not by external Injury but fcy internal growths. The FMIaJielpLia case is that of a boy whose ekull had been Injured by a fU at an early age. The boy had apparently recovered completely from "his physical injuries; bis physical t condition was good and his brain ac tive, but h was an incorrigible rascal He was heading toward a career in crime, when he fell into the hands c a skillful surgeon. It was found that a depressed bone affected the brain; the pressure was removed, and the boy placed under close observaiton for everal weeks, shows no tendency to ralapee Into his former willfulness. Pensacola "Welcomes - The Mardi Gras Visitors. Pensacola heartily welcomes, the Mardi Gras visitors. We are glad that you are here, and your visit Will be just what you will let it be. If you have come for fun it will be served to you in -abundance, and you will go back to your homesa happier- an probably a wiser people. , 5 It is good to forget business cares for a few days. It is good to. mingle with-your fellow man, caring only to make yourself and others Ijappy.- If this is what you want to do, Pensacola during Mardi Gras is the place to come. King Priscus -XlII arrives in the city tomorrow at high noon and his arrivel marks the beginning of the fes tivities.

A' similar ease in Toledo has haft the same result, and U is, established that sometimes at any rate, wicked ness is a disease resulting from causes entirely physical and can be cured by the knife end saw.

During the year 1911 there were thirty ,-nino cases 'of typhoid fever in the United States army in continental America. In many nistances these men were camped in places which could nojube made absolutely eani Mexican border there was but one soldier out -of every two thousand was the victim of this deadly disease Previous years, especially , before the army physicians learned that typhoid could be vaccinated against, there were hundreds of cases of typhoid and many death, : . , Last spring when nearly thirteen thouaand soldiers encamped on , the Mexican border there was btu 5 one case of typhoid during the encamp ment. San Antonio, near which the soldiers were placed, a city of nearly a hundred thousand inhabitants, had forty-nine reported cases of typhoid with nineteen deaths. Major Russell, of the army medical corps, the typhoid serum expert, has spent many years perfecting the serum, and he says that compulsory vaccination against typhoid, such a Is required against smallpox, would in all probability reduce the typhoid cases in the United States 75 per cent Typhoid fever is one of the most dangerous diseases we have today, and' it is very gratifying to know that it "may successfully be vaccinated against. It is not a theory and should not be looked upon as such. It hr.s been proven successful in the United States army and what wiorks in the army will be a success in the cities. Of course there will be those who will say sanitary conditions will re move the cause and that there is no use of vaccination. Nineteen deaths in San Antonio does,' not sound like it is useless when the soldiers on the outskirts of the city were not affected. The soldiers had been vaccinated. The army test is enough to con vince anyone open to conviction that compulsory vaccination is wise. Patterson. N. J., Is Mired of being referred to as the home of anarchists. The Press-Chronicle , of that city has gotten out a special trades edition which shows that the city is a live one and is thoroughly progressive. The editor says there is not an an archist in the city and has not been for years. Daily Newspapers, Decreasing Iri Number. Newspaper census figures for 1911, compiled by the American Newspaper Annus! and Directory, published at Philadelphia, indicate that multipli cation of daily papers in the United States has come to a halt. A year ag the number was 2.472; the 1912 Annual lists 13 less, showing that the trend Is now in the downward direc tion. According to this authority, greater mortality than birth rate is explained by suspension or consolida tion of newspapers in crowded and unproductive fields. New England has lost four dallies, New York four, mid dle west states nine, and the western states have thirteen less than a year ago. Gains have been heaviest In the southern states, while the middle At lantic section has an increase of three. Weekly and semi-weekly newspa pers also seem to have reached their Unit in numbers. The 1912 Annual names and describes 16,229 weeklies, 40 less than in 1911. .and 60S semi weeklies, aa compared . with 617 in 1911. The 1912 Annual marks Its forty- fourth year, contains more than 120 pages describing 24,345 .newspapers and periodicals, presents ten distinct iloms about each. Including its circa- kv.ion rating, and gives 1910 census populations for the ll,00(r towns in which newspapers are published. Aeronautics, moving ' pictures and Esperanto are responsible for new lists of publications devoted to these sub jects. There are over- two hundred of these lists in the book Just from the press. ; Religious publications number 865, agricultural journals total 463, and there are no leas than 129 separate di visions of , class and trade periodicals. Exponents of more .than forty secret society orders are catalogued. Foreign language papers printed in thirty-four different forms of speech are described in a classifications of their own. These statistics are, gathered from returns by the press of the country and , sifted, verified and arranged by the publishers of this directory, who are engaged in such revision through out tne year. The Importance of the newspaper publishing industry, - like wise ;th development and rapid In crease of advertising, Is Impressively illustrated in the magnitude of this work.'. .' .

Smashing a Masher Is Proper and Right. "Now, -I think if more of tho girls would give them a fist in' the faca and then call a policeman it would be all right, Til hand them one with my left, for I am left-handed, and I tell you X. can hit hard." " Has a lady a right to hand it like this to a fellow who tries to fi&t with her? It Is a question put to the "irolden rule" police chief of Cleveland, 0 by one who then proceeds, womanlike to answer her question herself. "The woman is half right," says the chief. ' But "half right" is rather indefi nite. It appears to common compre hension that in such very decisive ac tion as this a woman must be either entirely right or entirely wrong; but possibly the chief means that she is half right in handing it to the masher, with the left band would be wholly right in handing it to him with both. It is not properly a matter for doubt, or for levity. The male masher Is a most detestable nuisance and merits any woman's deepest in dignation. He means insult as well as affront. Any woman is faithless to herself and to her sex who does not show hep resentment as clearly as possible. A delighted public has not forgot ten Miss Estelle Wyman. the San Francisco girt who gave a New York masher such a surprise as probably served to tone down his demonstra tions toward unprotected females con Biderably. She was waiting for a car, when he approached her in full dress punctuated with opera hat, gave her the "goo-goo," twirled his mustache In what was intended to be a fasci nating manner, stopped at her side and spoke to her. Now. it happens that in San Fran cisco gymnastics are very thorouehlv taught in the high schools; and it was a simple matter to Miss Wyman to catch a wrestler's hold and toss the simpering "it" heels over head among the passing wagons. Athletics in the schools 'may be overdone in some respects, but the training thatxenables a pretty girl to stand a masher on his head in th middle of the street cannot be car ried too far. Of course mistakes will happen. A chivalrous Boston gentleman , seeing a man beside him in a car "goo-goo" and chirruping at a pretty woman across the aisle, arose in his chivalry, wrath and error and hit him on the jaw, and learned in the police court that the man was the woman's hus band. The chivalrous gentleman made a mistake. But hold on, now; did he really make any mistake? He unquestion ably ought to be hit on the Jaw. But what shall be aaid of and done to the man who in a public place makes "goo-goo" eyes at his own wife, an thus puts her in a bad attitude before all the witnesses to the silly perform ance? Florida voters are better informed than those of other southern states because the candidates use quantities of printers' ink. w Dry batteries work so much better m uasesKui man tr ones. 1 JUST FOR FUN.

PERSONAL ATTACK IS A COMPLIMENT . - . Newark News. What is the reason for the hunt for personal peccadilloes against Wilson? Why the eagerness to find para graphs in his writings that can be wrenched out of their context in page and chapter and make him say flat statements without qualification? Why the avidity to seek contrasts in what he says now and what he said ten years ago? Is it a crime for a man to learn? Putting the question another way; Why is it that all this commotion is entirely over personalities while the politics for which Wilson stands are not discussed? The source of the attack is at once the answer and the compliment. That attitude of mind which sees nothing in the present industrial con dition to be remedied, which is sat isfied with things as they are and de sires to have the industries of the country carried on along the same lines as in the last twenty years, can have -no policy that it dare make pub lic In a democracy. If it did. It would have before now accepted Wilson's challenge to "sug gest something. Not being able to suggest anything for the preservation of industrial lib erty or, perhaps, not desiring to not being willing to stand for a really representative Igovem.ent because that is a government that cannot be utilized for private profit the ultra standpat element is driven to seeking personalities. The personality game was worked for dear life on Roosevelt. It is being worked on Wilson. It simply means that those whose conscious or unconscious desire is for industrial and. business methods which cannot stand the tt of being made known generally not daring to public ly announce their stand, are driven to resort to endeavors to make . political mountains out of merely personal mat ters, many of them being selected and handled in a way which makes them decidedly misleading. In other words, Wilson receives the compliment of being a man whom lawless business is distinctly afraid of. All this would be a- matter of small moment if it were not for those hon est and really public-spirited business men whose praiseworthy absorption in their own affairs has not left them the time or inclination to study the present general situation sufficiently to realibe what it actually is and what an acute call for action it presents. It is unthinkable that such as these, if they saw the true situation, would stand for business methods that do not square with honor, and do threat en the liberty of the nation.

He proved that O'Brien as a state senator In 1889, snd in the interests of the railroads, op posed the three-cent rato bill and moved for its Indefinite postponement.

He also proved by the legislative records that O'Brien fought the primary bilL Other records show ed O'Brien to represent the special in terests and L'Engle only dealt in pub lic records.
