sentiment of the American people, want
Sunday baseball they jump to the con-
clusion that it is the will Of an entire
populace. There are some unpleasant
consequences to hasty action some
times. There was a petition being got
ten up asking these honorable gentle
scend, before they placed a stigma
upon the city, to give the people time
to express themselves on Sunday base
ball. This was UNDECIDED until too late.
Another thing, supposing that there
should be a majority who sanction
Sunday baseball (Which is by no means
believed to be the case), still the mi
nority is not always wrong and cannot
be wilfully ignored.
The council. editor, pulpit or any
other public servant who complacently
thinks he need not reckon with the mi
nority is nigh unto wearing his politi
cal and social grave clothes. The mi
nority is often right. and on just such
a question as this has nearly always
been right. What the people want is
not what by any means they need.
The child wants cake and candy diet,
but this is not what it needs. The
moral and intellectual preceptors of
any people must sometimes take the
whims Of the populace as those of chill
dren, not always to be humored. I
have been used to hear satire on the
Georgia Legislature all my lifh, but the
last Florida legislature acted like lot
Of ward politicians. 1t aroused my
sympathy for the people of the state.
Still another thing. The Sunday
baseball is favoring a class who are
interested and at the expense of the
welfare of a whole city. The park and
street car company will profit by it.
whilst those who are injured and can
not help them selves feel they are scan
dalized and the whole value Of living
in the city is deprecated for them and
their class.
What is Pensacola's greatest need?
You ask one he would say, Sunday
baseball" This is substantially what
the city council and the newspapers
say. This proceeds upon the idea that
Sunday is the only day off for many
and this is the way they choose 10
spend it.

tired housekeepers, clerks, and business
men need a holiday. But the question
is, Should it be on the Christians Sun

1t is a fine and beautiful custom in
many places to give half holidays on
Saturday. Large metropolises do this.
Does Pensacola transact so much more
business than these big cities. than
Canada, than all England, that It can
not find any time except on this sacred

in the world, and that a good daughter
makes the best wife.
Choose the best companions and read
the best books. Accept only the best
men as your husbands, paying as much
attention to their character as to their
personal appearance.
Can you imagine such a woman as
the queen describes? Such one might
do all right in story books, but for hu-
man beings 1t wouldn't do to expect
such a degree of perfection.
The English girls may take the
queens advice and try to follow it out,
but not so the American girls. They
will insist upon looking just as they
please, and being just as they please
usually they please to keep a fellow
guessing.
AS to being healthy, what would a
girl do If she couldn't complain of a
headache, and the question Of dieting
herself would be distasteful. Too
much exercise would make her un-
happy and suitable clothing-well,
Kipling would say. that's another story.
Cooking and domestic economy needs
no discussion-every American girl can
make fudge and arrange the parlor a
little better than the hired. girl. All
girls like children and their mothers
think they are good daughters.
Companions are a matter of personal
| choosing and girl knows she is choos-
ing the best man in the world-for a
few weeks, at least.
No. the queens standard wouldn't
suit the American girl. She's just diff
ferent from the across the water girls,
and we would have them thus.

We would say "a unique question"
although we have forgotten the def
mite rule governing such use of the
article. AS we recall it, the indefinite
article, AN" is used before words
whose first sYllables have a vowel
sound, while "a" is used before words
whose first syllables have the conso-
nant sound. In this particular case,
the first syllable Of unique" has the
consonant of "yew' and we would
therefore use the article "a" before
it. We may, however, be wrong and,
If so, shall be glad to stand corrected.

Many people dread physic They

The Pensacola Journal wants the re-
mains of the battleship Maine lowed
there and preserved in Pensacola
harbor. 1t would not have the relics
Of the ship sold to souvenir manufac-
turers. 1t says: The ship has a
PLACE in the hearts of Americans. 1t
should not be given to the waters of
the deep. It should be preserved as
one Of the relics of the nation" The
Journal makes another point:
No monument that can be erected
would be as fitting or would keep SO
green in the memory of American
people the sacrifice of 100 mems lives
as the preservation of the real bat
tleship. 1t should be brought to an
American port where it could be Wis
tied by patriotic subjects Of Uncle
Sam and tourists from other coun-
tries
Our contemporary suggestion that
the old hulk should be preserved is a
happy Que, and we should be glad to
see it towed to Pensacola as per-
manent exhibition.
