The Dime Novel.

fC DftVC tN0VCis
Do the publishers of newspapers do
what they can to suppress vicious
books? Should not the youth of the
country be protected against the
trashy novel and the detective stories,
and cannot the high-grade newspaper
appeal to the parents to be censor
over the reading matter of their chill
den and shut their doors against their
trashy and vicious literature? The
Pennsylvania Railroad Co. has pro-
hibited the sale of lucid novels and de-
tective stories on its trains, and adds
its condemnation to this cause.
In this connection The Pensacola
Journal of recent date gets right
down to the milk in the cocoanut
when it offers the following remedy:
Does your boy read dime novels? II
so you will confer favor on the COM
ing generation by burning every sup
ply he gets. Should it come to the
worst you might a]so remind him that
persimmon sprouts don't make good
shade trees anyway.-Florala, (Ala.)

As to Proposed Canal.

In a personal letter to the editor,
Senator Joseph F, Johnson states that
he thinks that senator Bankhead and
himself will succeed in getting the
proposed canal connecting Pensacola
bay with Mobile bay incorporated into
the inland waterways bill.
We trust that the two senators will
be successful and that the canal
across the lower end of the county
will not only be Incorporated but that
the bill will go through this congress.
At any rate we wish to thank the sen.
ator for the prompt and efficient ser
vices which he renders On matters
brought to his attention.-FoIey, Gala. }

"Great Question of the Day.v

The great question of the day, says
The Pensacola Journal, is this: We'll,
say, how about the fellow who is max
ing only 81 and $3.50 per day? Only
twenty-six working days in a month
you know. He has wife and perhaps
two or three little ones. Under pres
ent conditions, it is a mystery how
they live for less than SIS or 500 per
month for groceries alone. Then there
is the house rent question: fat item.
too. The family must have new shoes
and new clothes occasionally, not to
| mention the usual amount of yearly
sickness that comes to the average
family. Besides there are other Incl
dental expenses that cannot be lodged.
Again. with sadness, we ask, what
about the pathetic plight of this great
army of people? What will be their
| condition ten years hence, when the
husband IS old and doty and can no
! longer make the daily struggle ?'
Some writer's, speakers, and others or
that ilk will tell you that the fault lies
with the fellow alluded to himself
| According to these there is always
| plenty of work for the unemployed
but when you question them closely
you will find that they mean the un-
employed man in New York who can

weakened by privations that he cannot

We trust that the people Interested

appropriation for the proposed canal
across the south end of this county.
1t is badly needed as means or
transportation for the present and
prospective citizens, besides as a safe
means of communication between the
forts at the entrance to Mobile bay
with those at the entrance of Pensa-
cola bay, it is worth the cost to the
government as a naval venture.

propriation.-Foley, (Ala.) Onlooker.

Patriotism exploded when the
orchestra struck up "The Star

Secretary Sommers of the Cham

make complete collection of all
catalogues of all manufacturers in
this section in order to be able to
answer inteiligently the questions
that are asked continually by
seekers for information.
The local chamber of commerce

has asked all such places to for
ward boom documents so inquir-
ers can be posted as to the claims
of the various communities.
