may be granted shall graduate, pro-
vided she shall maintain satisfactory
standing in character and scholarship.
To clear a much misunderstood
point the writer wishes to say that
condition No. Is not intended to
make the scholarship a burdensome
charity, but merely to limit 1t to those
ambitious young women, who, with
every other qualification and often
with a comfortable home, are still
without the extra money which a col
lege course would cost. Our scholar
ships are an offering of love in mem
ory of our Confederate dead, and we
wish them to be given where they will
| mean a genuine help. At the same
time that the application Is sent tc

UNOCCUPIED HOUSE
SLIGHTLY DAMAGED

Considerable excitement was caused
yesterday afternoon when a fire alarm
was sounded from box S8, which is at
the corner of Palafox and Jackson
streets, and quite a number of the
downtown people hastered to that To-
cality. However, the fire proved to be
of small consequence, being an unoc-
cupied cottage located at 800 North
Baylen street and the timely arrival of
the fire company prevented any Sc
rious damage being done.
The alarm was received at the police
station at 2:39 and was promptly
turned in over the fire alarm indicator.
Two hose wagons were slightly
damaged when they collided at the
scene of the fire.

Women Work Without
Visible Reward.

The staid London Chronicle has
been solemnly discussing the question,
Should Women Work." just as if
women had not ben doing the worlds
work since creation.
The first suggestion of labor in all
history is in the securing of the apple
by Adam and Eve, and it was Eve who
picked that.
The example then set has been pretty
well followed ever since. The Ewes
are the appla pickers yet. 1t is true a
few women play the role of idle but
tert1ies-but what of it? These are the
exceptions that mark the rule. The
great majority of women toll unceas-
ingly and with little direct reward.
Man at the end of his days work
can count up the money he has made
and measure the result. Woman's
days work has no end and no tangible
profits. Her only payment as she goes
weary handed and empty handed to
rest is in the heart satisfaction of
having done we'll a little more of her
unending labor of love.

it not so common than the sight-so
often seen-of the hard working, con-
scientious mother who literally wears
out her life in unheralded toll. Thank

twelve-hour day would be a boon to
most wives who in the care of the
house and children are always doing
overtime" without thought of extra
pay.
Among savages the women do all the
work. their lords employing themselves
only in the chase and in war. The
progress of civilization has consisted
largely in getting man to do some
thing for a living, and this progress
has come through mothers training of

Lack of
Sanitary Precautions.

After Investigating thoroughly res
taurants, lunch counters, and saloons
in Chicago, the state board of health
ordered a number of them closed on
account of the unsanitary conditions
prevailing. This probably marks the
beginning Of similar action through
out the cities of the country.
The health of the public demands
that It be done.
All of the work which has been
going on of recent years to prevent
food adulteration, the use of the pub
lie drinking cups, and every measure
to guard against the spread of disease,
can be practically killed by unsanitary
restaurants and saloons and cold drink
parlors.
Health officials and sanitary officers
Of Pensacola might follow in the
steps of the Chicago authorities and
make close inspections of similar
places in this city. The restaurants
often invite inspection of their prem
ises by the public. and they are prob
ably kept in proper condition, and, if
they are, the officials would do no
harm by letting the public know of the
fact.
However, reports have come to The
Journal during the last few days that
there are some saloons, especially
those in negro sections of the city.
which are in a horrible condition, and
cannot do other than spread disease
among those who patronize such
places.
For example: One saloon which has
a large negro patronage is said not to
have sewerage in the building. The
beer glasses, hundreds of them during
the day, are rinsed in small tubs in
which the water is never changed
during the day. If such is the case
the places ought to be closed up by
the health authorities until sanitary
conditions are provided.
Too little thought is given by some
proprietors of places of this character
to the public health. Disease can be
so easily carried into homes kept sani-
tary merely by patronizing unsanitary
public places.
The health of the negro population
of Pensacola needs protecting just as
much as that of the white population
does. We cannot have a city free
from disease unless all precautions
are taken in the way of sanitary regu-
lation.
Rigid inspection of all public eating
and drinking places should be made
regularly and those not complying
with the laws ought to be stopped
from doing business until they put
their places in order.
Pensacola can be kept free from
contagious diseases if the effort is
made to do so.

Ownership
Of a Wife.

Pennsylvania Russian who killed

this explanations

He only carries to extreme length a

Few men may claim the right to kill
their wives, but some maintain the

Primary Will
Not Be Postponed.

Chairman Price Of the State Demo-
cratic Executive Committee wires The
Journal that the date of the primary
cannot be changed to May / instead
of April 30, majority of the COM
mitteemen not desiring that it be done.
The change would have been an ad-
vantage, especially to the country peo-
pie who do not usually pay their taxes
until some time in April, but the date
will not be changed and the voters
must pay their poll taxes by Saturday
night or they cannot vote in the pri-
maries.
Less than a thousand voters had
paid their poll taxes last night in Es-
Gambia county. There are yet some
1000 more who have not paid the tax
who should, by all means, qualify dur
ing the present week.
Especially is it necessary for the
people to qualify, for all over the state
the fight to defeat the friends Of the
people is being waged and unless the
voters who believe in the rule of the
people qualify they will be defeated at
the polls.
If you have paid your poll tax sec
that your neighbors do so before an
other day passes. The people need
evey vote they can poll at the pri-
maries this year.
