Some Legacies
That are Curses.

rich Milwaukeean has left a legacy
of "a a week to his daughter, to begin
only after the death of her husband,
and the same amount to a son, to be
paid so long as he is husband of his
present wife.
This is carrying dictation OF the con-
Jugal affairs of heirs to rather harsh
extreme, yet 1t is of a class of wills
that have become intentionally com
mon.
Restrictions in wills against the
marriage of widows, daughters or sons
have become an everyday affair. The
man who finds at the threshold of the
ether world that he cannot take with
him the money that has been the idol
of his life seems to find consolation In
the reflection that he can at least make
poor wife or children.
Many a money grubbing brute who
has made his wife miserable as long
as he lived, has embraced this easy
means OF making her misery continue
after he is gone. And he binds his
and warp their whole lives.
1t is the absolute sovereignty OF
money over human happiness. No man
Is so wise as to be able to foresee the
condition under which his widow or
children may desire TO wed. It is not
the husband and fathers judgment or
foresight that extends it's sway into
the future but the power OF unthink-
Ing. IMPLYING. unrelenting money.
It takes the heart out OF life. the
soul out OF freedom, kills all whole

the moral sense.
The Milwaukeean illustrates the
senseless Inconsistency Of such pro-
visions. He discourages his daughter.

urages his sons divorce. Clearly TX

Home and
Universal Peace.

Universal peace is something worth
striving for. It is worthy cause in
which to labor, but the efforts being
made to accomplish it appear to The
Journal as being misdirected Before
one nation should attempt to bring
about peaceful relations with other
nations by arbitration, the strife at
home should be settled by arbitration
if the world is to have a great deal of
faith in the universal peace scheme.
Several months ago when there was
so much talk about universal peace,
Governor Wilson said he was in favor
of it but had no idea such a thing
could be accomplished, in the popular
sense, until industrial peace was es-
tablished.
At the time some criticised him for
it, but the coal strike in England en-
phasizes the logic of his remarks.
England is in a beautiful predicament
today to talk about universal peace
when a conflict between labor and cap
ital is causing thousands of men to
remain idle while actual suffering pre-
walls on every hand.
America has experienced strikes
which for short time threatened the
peace and prosperity of the nation, but
fortunately the differences were set
tied without much bloodshed, without
great deal of property loss, and with
little suffering.
Universal peace is good. The time
may come when it will be possible
but industrial peace at home is tai
more desirable just at this time. And
when the classes and masses in the
various nations are at peace with each
other there will be little conflict be-
tween the nations of the world.
woodrow Wilson was right. We
need industrial peace at home and
universal peace will follow.

Save the Men BY
Protecting the Bows.

Birmingham had a tag day several
days ago to provide funds 10 maintain
the Boys Club which has been organ
lied 10 take care OF the boys who are
not cared for as they should be. The
following note With one dollar enclosed
was sent TO the lady in charge of the
work, and is possibly the greatest tes-
timonial a work of this kind could
have:
''.D4ar Madam: I have been reading
about the Boys Club and tag day.
Enclosed you will find a dollar bill that
/ hope you will accept for this great
work. l am one of the down and outs,
and If there had been any boys clubs
and aid societies while | lived when 1
was a kid maybe / wouldn't be the
kind of man I am. dollar is not
much, but it may help make man OF
some boy.
IAN OLD TIMER
Men and women have learned that
it is easier to prevent than to cure dis
ease. Farmers, by experience, have
been taught that it is far easier to
prevent grass and weeds growing III
their fields than it is to destroy the
grass and weeds after they have taken
hold.
The same is true with boys and
girls. They need to be saved before
they are too far along on the down
ward grade.
What is known as the down and
outs" are men who do not help the
world and are a drag upon others.
They might have been producers and
useful citizens II they had been taken
care of when they entered the avenue
to ruin.
In Pensacola there are number OF
boys who are apparently destined &c
become undesirable citizens unless
something Is done to interest them In
better things. The boys department
of the Y. M. c. A. is doing a good
work among all classes of boys, but
1t could do far more If you would give
it your moral and financial support
The down and QUIZ Birmingham
man sent his dollar and who can tel
but that the contribution may make
possible good and useful citizen out
of some boy who is straying from the
right road?
Let US throw around the boys OF tht
city an atmosphere of high ideals. Lei
MS teach them that ruin stares then
in the face unless they make an effor'
TO become useful boys, who in turn will
become good business men who are u
direct the destinies of the nation.
