You have, of course, read of the
appalling atrocities perpetrsted by
the savage Bulgars during the
second Balkan war; you are, OF
course, aware of the fact that
over 10000 Greeks passed from
life to an atrocious death; that
whole cities and villages were de
st"oved by the panic stricken sol
diery and by order of the famous
Bulgarian generals, yet not once
have you raised your voice against
the perpetrators of those terrible

By DR.. CHAS. III. PARKHURST.

Episcopal Church has been so stal.
wart an advocate.
r Under the auspices of q go.
ciety of which the Arch
bishop of Canterbury ia
president, DR.. Woods Hutchinson
has been delivering an address on
divorce, in which he urges that
drunkenness should be considered
sufficient ground for breaking the
marriage contract.
Without raising any question as
to the soundness of DR.. Hutchin-
sons position. q line of thought
like that which he pursues IN bis
address raises the question
whether we may not be talking and
writing too much about the way
by which married people can get
out Of matrimony and too little
about the straight and narrow way
by which alone unmarried people
ought to be allowed to enter into
matrimony.
Easy divorce makes easy mar
riages, and easy marriages make
easy divorce.
The moral soundness of society
depends in very considera bic
measure upon the solidity and du-
rability Of the marriage tie, and
every new divorce is another blow
to social integrity and to the
wholesomeness Of popular senti-
ment and life. The cordially &C.
corded to divorced parties, who,
half century ago, would have
been regarded as social outcasts,
indicates the ease and rapidity
with which the moral sense of the
public has become weakened and
debased.
The greater the ease with which
the contract can be broken, the
larger the part which will be
played by inconsiderate passion in
forming the contract.
Great credit is due to the Catho-
lie Church for the rigid position
which it continues to maintain
The Episcopal Church holds to the
old ground with almost the same
intensity of tenure. Till death do
us part" Is the pledge insisted upon
in its marriage service.

Man and Woman: Which Is the Superior?
h Exces Each Fails in Certain Particulars Both Are Neces
to Make Up Humanity; to Augue Further Is Futile

n CORRESPONDENT writes
~ will you please discuss
the subject, is Man Supe-
rior 10 Woman" A neighbor of
mine, foreigner, contends that
man is superior TO woman. He
holds that he is far superior TO
his wife, yet she does twice as
much work as ne does. She runs
both his home and his store, and
IT is her energy and Intelligence
that have made his business

To argue about whether woman
is superior to man, or man is su-
perior TO woman, is as futile as
TO discuss whether winter is bet

shine is more advantageous 10

Each eXcels in certain particu-
lars. each fails in certain respects,
and both are necessary to make

Of men believe, on insufficient

O|SSOLUTIONOF

GREATv|CTORY
Is Considered the Biggest
Event of President Will

Commands Attention Of
All.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Dec. 20.-The greatest
anti trust victory of President Wilson S
administration thus far-the voluntary
dissolution of the So called telephone
itruSt-cornmanded the attention Of ali
administration officials today.
Next to the fact that the features
against which the government was
preparing an anti-trust suit will be
eliminated with the consent and CO.
operation of ''big business. itself with
years of court fighting, the principal
topic of discussion in administration
circles today was what effect will the
dissolution have on the movement for
government ownership 1t has been
generally expected in congress that
such a plan would soon be secured as
an administration measure
WILL SCAN DETAILS.
With the voluntary dissolution OF the
so called trust actually under way,
however, Attorney General McReynolds
and the Interstate commerce commits
sion today prepared to scan details of
the separation OF the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company from
the Western Union and the work of
disentangling telephone affairs
throughout the country which threat
ened federal action.
Not only has the Amencan Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company agreed
Union, but it has agreed not to extend
its monopoly of local companies in the
telephone field. But the most import
ant point to the American people, Off
cials declare, is the telephone com
pany,s agreement to extend the use of
it's toll lines to all local companies.
That concession, which was admittedly
more than Attorney General McReyn-
olds expected to secure in a legal fight,
opens long distance facilities by tele-
phone to many communities which
have long been denied it.
AS the work of separating the two
big companies goes on, points on which
they may be in doubt will be submitted
10 Attorney General McReynolds and
the Interstate commerce commission
for decision.
Administration supporters, after in
formal conferences on the telephone
dissolution and going over so much Of
the plan as has been published thought
the latest development would at least
retard the movement to prevent the
government ownership question to
readjustment to meet the views Of the

Popularity.

Nothing could afford more con-

Journals popularity than the vast
number of letters which hundreds
OF its little boy and girl friends
send to their favorite paper as the
most direct means of reaching
Santa Claus.
These letters came from all
classes. high and low, rich and
poor, and The Journal delights to
publish them because The Journal
is their friend and is a member
Of their family.
Why is 1t that year after year
these Santa Claus letters come so
spontaneously to The Journal? +?
The answer is easy. It is because
The Journal has made a place for
itself in the homes of the people of
Pensacola and West Florida and
because the children as well as the
older people have come to believe
in The Journal and regard it as
their own
That is the reason why the ju-
dicious advertiser selects The
Journal when he wants to get into
those homes and talk to the peo-
pie whose patronage he wants.
Several hundred Santa Claus
letters have been published to date
and the many hundred more which
The Journal now has on hand
will all appear before Christmas.
