The first Sunday ecition of the News is before us and iv is a colossal succe 104 pages ombracing a vast variety of excel- live ads to furnish the backbone and sinews for the enterprise.

That so-called crisis will continue to impend for ages ft come, and meanwhile there are so meny other matters of present prac- tical importance top us that we need not join with Mr. Vardaman in wor- rying over a problem for which he kas no solution and which must be left to time and evolution to deal with, — 0 Pensacola never baving more than one ti' the other day.

We also said in the same paragraph that there nothing too good for President Mur- phree- which is strictly true, { paragraph went the rounds and it | almost lugged the distinguished head of our university intg State political gossip, doubtless to his great dis- cust. To one of his old student: who wrote him suggesting his en- trance into Florida politics, he re- ) lied: “0Of course | have no political am- bitions. My greatest desire is scrve the young men of Florida, and 1 value your commendation and goo:! will, and the other boys wham it ha been my greatest delight to know i. the relation of teacher and studen:. | infinitely more than the highest posi- tion that could he given me in Flor ida or elsewhere.” CASN ) p G The Tampa Times has come in lin with the rest of the State press in urging the adoption of the bondin: amendment to the constitution for! school purposes. The Times restates the well-known objections to the amendment that the sulfrage is lim- ited to qualified voters who are free- Lolders and that it would be diffi- cult to obtain such a majority for the issnance of honds, but says that even thus the amendment offers chance to help the schools aad should by adopted. That paper con- cludes an article on the subject with these words: “But as we have had oceasion to And ;g The Gulf, Florida aml; The Deep Water' a second Tl is The ! to | LA, OCT. 22, 1912, say before, we are not for the rea - ‘pml"e of the amendment that we have been discussing.

But it could be made much better than it is, and w» hope to see this done in the future. We would carnestly counsel all to | vote for this amendment upon. the i principle that ‘half a loaf is better ! than no bread.”” | —0 | The intermarriages of whites anil " negroes in the South is prohibited b luw and it wouldn't take a great ! many episodes like that whicn ! brings the negro Jack Johnson and 2 degraded white girl in Chicago intd [ present notoriety to make this dis? ~usting and unnatural alliance llegal in at least some of the north- 'rn States which now permit it.
