A PROOFOF MORAL COURAGE

The newspaper which dares to
compare it's town with a rival
center to the dlsad'
vantage of the home town usually
meets. with a storm of disapproV'
al, and is fortunate not to be de-
nounced as a complete traitor to
local interests.
This is rarely true. The home
paper has every reason to stand
by home interests and does so
through good and evil report
But even when it does admit a
truth that reflects on the home
town, it does not follow that 1t IS
done in the spirit OF a renegade.
That mother would be false to
her plain-faced daughter and
would lead no one to her way OF
thinking either, by extolling the
girls beauty. In like manner
the truth about a town is some
times very ugly. It's best FRIEND
is the one, who while freely
admitting the truth, sets 'tt
work to bring about a change
Perfect candor is the only righ'
beginning. The home paper tina
finds fault does so with a gOot
motive, nine times out of ten
and always shows true Drawer!
by such a course.

PUBLICITY IS RIGHT.

The court officials in Tangi,
pahoa are unwilling for the teSti-
mony of witnesses in the Blount
case to be published, on the
ground that there are other
cases of the same natue yet to be
tried and the reading of this ties,
timony would disqualify future
jurors.
This rule of law should be abro-
gated as it is indeed putting a
premium on ignorance, to imply
that only those newly-infosmed
can be fair minded. On such
a basis, the best men would
always be disqualified. We are
glad to say that the Judge after
wards suspended this absurd
ruling.
Tangipahoa owes it to herself
to have as wide a publicity giver
her efforts to bring her criminals
to justice, as was that which
published her shame abroad
Only thus can the great body o
her people be indicated.

A SERIOUS OVERSIGHT.

There should be a prOverb to
express how careless the average
examiner is-frOm auditing &C.
counts to examining textbooks.
It's most recent illustration is
that shown when the committee
for the selection of textbooks for
the schools made such an over
sight in the choice of readers.
For weeks and months, this COM
mittee was supposed to be at
work on the examination of books
for the purpose. At last, choice
was made, recommendation to
the State Board followed and
was promptly ratified.
Yet it seems to have taken only
short while for an outsider to
find some serious flaws in these
books, that should have been APP
parent to the most CurSOrY ex-
animation. Col. Lewis GuiOn,
the prominent Confederate vet,
eran, did not find it hard to see
that the Brumbaugh readers
were not adapted to Southern
children. The civil war is called
therein a rebellion, a term ObsO
lete in that connection even in
the North. Only one Southern
writer, Henry Grady, is repre-
scented by a selection, and he is
the only author in the book, not
given a biographical sketch.
How could these points escape
the eye of a faithful and careful
reader, with a mind single to the
needs of the Southern child
This question will occur to any
thinking person. Supt. Harris
makes excuses and promises thai
proper changes will be made
We do not doubt his sincerity
first and last, but the incident
well illustrates the point sug
gested at the beginning of this
article that most examinations
are superficial and perfunctory
While on the subject, we wish
to say a word in defense of thu
criticism that Confederate organ
izations constantly find fault witt
school books and songs. Al

KIDNAPPING 4 FELONY.

There is no crime capable OF
producing more general suffer
ing, direct and sympathetic, than
kidnapping. The world becomes
one family as it were when some
fragrant wrong is done a little
child, and the most narrowing
emotions follow kidnapping. The
suspense and uncertainty, the
possibility Of cruelty or death
upon the tender flesh, the shrink
ing frame-there is no horror
like it. Even the Forgiving Son
of Man said that he who offends
one of these little ones it we're
better that a milestone were
around his neck and he be drop
ped into the depths of the sea.
Whether considered as a Divine
or a human punishment, the
crime merits it.
And yet in some states kid
mapping is not on the statute books
as a felony. Periodically when
some great crime like the Lamana
child.murder in Louisiana in
1908, and the Whitla kidnapping
the other day, the public imagi
nation and senSibility are arOuS
ed and there is much ado to ar
. range for proper punishment
But the public soon forgets. Its
strongest outburst of indigna
ton is but a fash in the pan. L
, would seem that the horrors at
tending the death of Walter
, Lamana would have caused every
, state to make a law against kid
, mapping. But the event passed a.
a nine days wonder and was for
gotten. What was done unde
the spur of that first indignation
, was all: a tightening of the bonds
+ in Louisiana.
The Whitla case is quickeninf
legislatures in q few states t.
make kidnapping q felony. Ye
in a few days this also will b.
, forgotten. Let the few, VIII,
, must eyer think for the many
act quickly while the public il
, aroused. Make laws that vii
exterminate kidnapers.

Four Able Speakers
Come Tonight.

The educational rally tonight in
knights of Columbus hall is OF vital
Importance TO every man and woman
in the city who has children now being
fitted for life in the public schools of
Pensacola
Four speakers Of unusual talent and
who have shown exceptional results as
educators are to do the talking DR..
John Y. Joyner, state superintendent
of education for North Carolina, is
president of the National Educational
Association. He is a speaker whose
weight, for, while a young man in
years, DR.. Joyner has had much ex-
perienee as & successful teacher in the
old Dominion as well as in the Tar
heel state and he has made a decided
IL favorable impression as a talker on
educational topics, not in those two
states alone but at school gatherings
in the North and West. He is worth
hearing.
Prof. Lynch, of the faculty of the
OUlNSG.Silg VI It lOIludB Mu6IC HS
teaches secondary education, and Prof,
Conrad, president of the Florida Col
lege for Women. scarcely require an
elaborate introduction to any Florida
audience. And the same is true of
State Supt. Holloway of the Florida
schools, whose official visits to the
schools of Pensacola and Eseambia
have been sufficient to illustrate his
remarkable grasp of the educational
needs of Florida and Florida's chill
dren.
These four speakers deserve, as
they unquestionably viii receive, a
large audience of the parents of Pen
sacola, while men and women who do
not happen to have boys and girls at
present in Pensacola's schools may
hear something to simultaneously en-
terrain and instruct them. The rally
opens at o'clock. We believe that a
couple of hours cannot be spent more
probably.
