Will the Color Scheme
Be a Winner?
Those -women who r particular
about their color schemes being car
ried out have- the satisfaction of
knowing that the president of the
United States and his friend Wicker
sham are particular about their color
schemes, too.
The particular color scheme which
has interested them of lat is William
II. Lewis, a . United States attorney
general, who It is said was admitted
to the American Bar Association be
cause It was thought he was a white
man. Attorney General Wlckersham
nas tnea to Keep rum irom uwns
ousted from the organization, and fail
ing In this h has announced his in
"entlon of leaving th organisation
w th his negro assistant.
Now President .Taft has a perfect
right to appoint negro assistants to
the attorney general, and have them
mlngla with official "Washington so-,
ciety ft the society can stsnd for It,
but this does not entitle them to mem
bership in a social or fraternal organ
ization, as th American Bar Associa
tion may be called.
It looks from this distance that is
merely a bid for th negro support of
the president In the convention. It Is
a color scheme which doesn't look
good.
Tallahassee expects to get a two
hundred thousand dollar hotel to take
rare of the tourist travel and the big
crowds when the legislature meets, as
well as the commercial business. This
sounds good, for Tallahassee Is a place
which should be visited by everyone
who comes to Florida, and many would
go there with proper hotel accommo
dations, provided the hotels reach out
for business. Apalachicola, the . St.
Andrews bay cities and all of the
smaller towns of West Florida ought
to have hotel facilities for the tourist
travel and combine their efforts to
bring them to West Florida. Pensa
cola Is waking up to the fact that the
money left here by the tourists is new
money and can be brought here by no
other source and Pensacola is willing
that "her tourists make a circuit
through West Florida for there are
many places worth going miles to see.
West Florida Is the "Happy Hunting

Where Reform
Is Needed. '
Steel trust officials have not a vary
rod opinion of the reasoning powers
'A the average man when they contend
that the steel business cannot b con
ducted unless th protective tariff ts
maintained, when In the face of this
statement the figures prove that the
steel trust's net profit on a ton of steel
Is $13.
' Another . official of the trust volun
teered the Information that as long as
the railroads buy a cheap grade of
rails, accidents and wrecks cannot be
eliminated, but the same official was
religiously silent about the steel trust
exporting steel rails of a higher grade
for the same price that the Inferior
rails cost In this country.
The steel business is no longer an
Infant Industry. It does not need any
protection. On the contrary, the peo
ple need to be protected from the steel
trust and its unfair transactions.
No argument can be offered to set
forth reasons why any concern can
manufacture its output and sell It
across the waters for a cheaper price
than the American people can buy It.
This is the way the protectee tariff
works, and is what the Republican
party is working to perpetuate.
Suppose the farmer made as unrea
sonable profits on his produce. Sup
pose there was a abort crop of wheat
and the farmers held the price away
up. but sold it to other countries for
a lower price. It would drive the peo
ple to acts of violence.
Yet this is exactly what the steel
trust Is doing, and the people have by
their votes sanctioned such a hold-up.

Begin Preparations
For the Next Mardi Gras,
Unless time is given to any project the best results
cannot be produced, no matter what the tmderaking may
be, and in no case is this as true as when celebrations are
prepared for. Realizing this The Journal would like to
suggest that the preparations for next year's Mardi Gras
begin immediately.
This is the first year the Carnival Association begins
with a clean slate, with all debts paid. The city will need
the Mardi Gras festivities more next year than ever before
because there will be more here to show the,visitors and
there will be in all probability many more here than have
ever visited Pensacola for a like occasion.
The Journal suggests that Pensacola do as New Or
leans does to promote the carnival. Let there be organized
mystic societies several of them and besides affording
amusement for the members during the year the funds with
which to finance the carnival can be raised without anyone
having to bear the largest burden.
However, this is for the crnival committee tp arrange.
The Journal merely makes the suggestion because it wants
the Mard Gras festivities to become better and grander
year by year.
Now is the time to begin to make Pcnsacola's 1913
Mardi Gras the greatest one ever held.
become wise ere this ,and have the
courage of their convictions and wlU
vote accordingly.

It wouldn't be a bad guess to say
that the Roosevelt campaign commit
tee will put into circulation some of
the dividends of the steel trust.

An Old Man's
Seet Blonde.
Age does not necessarily ripen wis
dom. Experience does not always
bring caution. On the contrary, there
is that familiar 1 aphorism, "No fool
like an old fool," and, unfortunately, 11
finds frequent application.
"It was to be supposed that a man
of 70, who had been twice married,
would know a good deal abont women
at least, would know that on really
was a woman before becoming en
gaged to marry her."
But there is old Philip Sachs of.
Bayonne, N. X, who has repeatedly
declared that he was ready to take a
third risk, and who had Introduced to
him by one of his friends a pretty
young blonde with red cheeks and a
figure a trifle robust. The ardor of the
old man's wooing was a wonder to thi
few who were In the secret. He soon
proudly annouriced that the , sweet
blonde had consented " to marry him.
and to celebrate his happiness he gave
an "engagement supper" at a Bayonne
hotel.
Solomon the Wise had no more af
fection to divide among his wives than
this' old man displayed to his sweet
heart at the supper. But when the
last bottle of wine was empty the ro
bust blonde pulled off her wig, rubbed
the rouge from her face and said in a.
voice decidedly masculine, "I guess it's
time to call this engagement off."
A stern judge has put a fine of $5
upon the friend who Introduced the oM
man to the "sweet blonde." And the
old man still claimed that he has been
shamed f 50.00 worth.
He is old enough to be wise, and ex
perienced enough to be cautious, but
he is like thousands of other men who
blindly follow their passions to a mar
riage contract, to find out later that
the one he thought to be so beautiful
and so beloved is something entirely
different.
The foolish old man is lucky to have
escaped so easily. It Is fortunate f re
hlra that it was all a Joke. Many
men and many women make as foolNh
mistakes in the character of the ones
they take as mates, and only long
years of suffering, or th divorce court,
can bring them release.
It's poor policy to marry a stranger.

PUT THEM ON RECORD
REGARDING PARCELS POST
Editor Pensacola Journal.
In Sunday's Journal I noticed a news
article that a Pensacolian had return
ed from an anti-parcels post conven
tion in Nashville, to which he had been
a delegate, and I got to thinking and
decided that this parcels post bill will
probably be the most important ques
tion before congress In the near future,
and that perhaps "it would be a good
idea to try to induce our obliging can
didates, especially those for congress,
to indicate their position on this very
important question, before it is ever
lastingly too late, as far as the voters
are concerned.
It seems that the most serious and
the most talked of problem, or con
dition. In this country at this time Is
the very high cost cf living, end I be
lieve that it Is pretty generally con
ceded that one of the principal causes
of this condition is the great per cent
age required by the middle men, be
tween the producer and the consumer.
These Cilddel men form associations,
trusts and monopolies to protect them
selves, and to perpetuate this great
per centage. and make it greater, now
seem to think that this contemplated
improvement In the postal system,
which ether countries nave been en
Joying for years, may have, at least, a
tendency to interfere with their great
power and control over the necesartes
and luxuries of life, and I believe my
self that it would, and so they quietly
call a great anti-parcels post conven
tion in Nashville, and I notice in the
program that they had prayer. I sup
pose that they tried to get the Lord
to help them to rr event congress from
doing is duty; and I also see that this
Pensacolian had the honor of being
appointed one of the fifty of the or
ganizing committee, fifty organisers.
What are . they going to organize?
vvny, I suppose they are reins: to or
ganise everybody, who will organize.
m order to make a showinr to con
gress of a large number of anti-parcels
post members. And what do the pro
ducers and consumers do? Why. they
pay the coat and grin and bear It. But
i want to tell them what they can do:
They can insist on knowing a candi
dates position, and vote accordingly.
And they can refuse to organise.
I will not use your valuable space
to explain what, in my opinion, are the
advantages of parcess post, as that is
not tne object of this communication,
and I hope some more able writer will
do that In the near rutare.
I was glad to see by your able edi
torial, a few weeks aeo. that The
Journal Is in favor of parcels post, and
x nope enough others will declare
themselves to induce the candidates to
make known their intentions In regard
to this matter.

Hon. J. Ed. O'Brien, of Pensacola,
one of the candidates for congressman
at large, is making a strenuous state
wide campaign to win out in the first
primary. He was at DeLand and in
Volusia county last week, meeting
many of the Democrats of this section.
Capt. O'Brien is well known through
out the state. He was a member of
the state senate at the time Senator

who will work for victory for him.

Allen for Milton.
The Gaxette has not heretofore taken
any decisive stand as to who It thought
would be the best man for chief exec
utive of our great state, but after
looking over the records of all the can
didates (and they are all good men),
we have decided that, in our opinion.
Hon. W. H. Milton, of Marianna, would
make the state a chief executive that
every citizen of the state would be
proud of. We find that his record
shows him a staunch Democrat al
ways; we find his record shows him
always on the side he believes to be
right, battling with all his might; we
have failed to find him on the fence
on any question; we find you can al
ways put your hand on him In poll
tics; we find he does not try to evade
any question, but gives a aired an
swer. clear and to the point. On sev
eral occasions we have found where
he differed with us In politics, but we
extend that privilege to alt aa thlfj is
a democratic government and a demo
cratic state, and the greatest plank
yet in the democratio platform Is.
"Study the question well, and vote as
you believe right."
Now, we shall not try to disparage
the claims of any of the other gentle
men that are in this race, nor shall we
cast any mud unless some over-seal-ous
editor takes issue with us then, if
it becomes necessary, we will get busy,
and, believe us, we have the mud.
Our reason for supporting Mr. MUton
is because we believe he will serve our
county and state well and honorably.

Watch Milton.
A quiet looking gentleman stopped
in upon us a few days ago. and intro
duced himself as W. II. Milton, candi
date for governor. We have never
seen the gentleman in action, but in
repose he seems to fix one with a quiet
persistent, steady eye and manner that
suggsts the deadly lntentness and ab
solute surrender to the task on hand
of a setting ben.
We mean no disrespect by the com
parison, and any who think for a mo
ment that it contains such were cer
tainly not raised on the farm.
But Milton was, and hence he will
be keenly alive to the fair compliment
the figure conveys. We have often
crawled out from under the stable
with our old straw hat full of eggs,
carrying with us at the same time a
full consignment of fleas. And well
we remember the irresistible purpose
of some old biddy of the barnyard
when seized with a desire to hatch.
They never considered the contract
cancelled, no matter how ripe or rot
ten the eggs, until the shell cracked.
Milton carries with him the same
unconquerable aspect, and his plat
form makes a nest full of eggs well
worth setting on. Watch Milton.
