Let All Shop Early
This Christrnastide.

| Christmas IS just six weeks off, and
everybody should begin to make plans
for the holidays. shop Early has
become a worldwide slogan, and Pen
sacolians should not be behindhand in
the early shopping movement.
The appeal for early shopping is
generally made to the women. but the
men can help in this, too. Most men
commission some of their womankind
to do their holiday shopping for them
and they can aid the early shopping
cause materially by planning a little
ahead OF time this year for the Christ
mas giving.
The Christmastide should never be
so con1mercialized as to lose its fun
damental reason for being. Christmas
giving is but an expression Of love,
either to the individual or the race.
When it becomes less than this, it
loses that quality of Christian charity
that makes it the leavening season of
the year-the time of the twelfth
month that is dedicated to others.
St. Paul in one of his beautiful epis-
ties to the Ephesians closes with these
words: Faith, Hope and Charity,
Is charity" Some translators have in
terpreted the word charity as love.
Certainly there can be no charity with
out love. and ST. Paul says in this
same epistle: Though I speak with
the tongues of men and Of angels
= and though I give my body to
be burned and have not
charity, 1t prohteth me nothing" To
st. Paul charity and love were GER
tainly synonymous.
So the Christmastime is not a time
of charity in the modern sense of the
term, but a season of love, in the sense
in which st. Paul uses it. And unless
it Is season of love and good It'd
ings'' it loses its reason for being.
Christmas giving has assumed such
proportions with the growing popu-
larity Of the celebration of the ami
versary. that IT is coming to be, to
some, a burden, instead of the 10y of
giving that IT should be. Unless a
Christmas gift be prompted by love,
1t loses the greater part of its value
But there are other than material
gifts that can add to the happiness Of
the holidays.
And one of these is consideration for
others. That divine understanding
that can so brighten life.
Let one of the first considerations be
for those to whom, unless this consid-
Grafton is shown, Christmas must be-
come an ordeal to dread, instead OF a
time Of peace and good WILL
Let all make their plans and star
their shopping early, in order that, in
sofar as Is possible. the great Christ
mas rush at the last may be avoided.

The Problem of
Safety in Travel.

The oft-recurrtne. fatal and disas-
trous railroad wrecks that are startling
the country, and which are bringing
so much woe and misery to so many
people, are attracting widespread at
| tention, and, as usual in cases Of pub
lie moment, a vast number of people
are coming forward with solutions and
panaceas Of one kind and another
which they are Offering the public. An
engineer writing In the Railway Ca
zette, who ought to know whereof he
| speaks, because men Of his calling are
the first to meet death in case of ac-
ciden4, does not join in the universal
cry for steel equipment Wooden cars
are less safe than steel, he admits, but
steel cars are so much heavier that
they involve a greater amount of mo-
tor power to haul them, and this means
vastly increased weight upon the rails,
that are too weak to bear additional
burdens. His idea is that stop
should be put to butting and rear END
collisions. and this can be done by
reducing the speed to a normal and
rational measure.
The American people are always too
much in a hurry, and when they want
to go from one point to another the
only question that they ask themselves
is, "By what route can I get there
soonest?" They think nothing of
safety, and very little of comfort.
Their idea is to get there IN the short
est possible moment. Railroads that
cater to the travelling public endeavor
to attract business by shortening their
schedule time, and in this way increase
the danger of travel. This writer in
sists that we should provide first for
steel equipments and other considera-
lions should come in later.
On the other hand, a superintendent,
who is also supposed to know, lays the
blame largely on the employees who,
he claims, are reckless and inefficient,
and defiant Of all discipline He claims
that the railroads have no authority to
enforce their rules, because the various
unions protect their members, leaving
the officers of the road helpless. He
cites numerous instances where wrecks
have occurred that were directly trace
able to the negligence and inattention
Of employees, and he strenuously in
sists that If everyone obeyed the law
and observed the rules prescribed by
the company accidents would be ma
terially minimized. These views are
conflicting, and, as in similar cases.
there may be a modicum of truth in
each of them.
The discussion Of the problem from
various angles should be welcomed, as
it will throw light on the entire prob
lem, SO that means may be adopted for
the protection Of life and property.
No one need be told that too many
lives are being sacrificed in railroad
travel and that the evil must be abat-
ed in some way. Whether 1t be the
and negligence of the
employees or the fault of the railroads
matters little to the trav-
cling public. What is imperatively
demanded is safety and comfort in

Are You Striking a Blow
At Yourself?

Every Pensacolian should shop in
Pensacola. This Is not TO say that
every PensacDlian should do simply
some Of bis buying at home, but that
he should do all OF It in the city where
ne Is earning his bread, and where his
associates are making a daily living.
Il is sometimes commended that goods
can be bought cheaper away from
home than In the home market. This
- n specious argument and readily
proven q weak one.
It is claimed that by shopping with
the n1adI order houses money can be
saved, because these houses can afford
20 Gea1 ut 90 much cheaper rate, as
they buy In such large quantities, own
their buildings and many their factor
les, and thus are enabled to give the
prices Of wholesalers rather than re-
aaAlerg.
This may seean good, logical reason
Ing % the casual reader or the
thoUghtless shopper. But. following
that line Of reasoning would not only
put every merchant IA Pensacola out
c< business. but would strike such a
blow to every industry as to pauperize

Nearly every merchant in Pensacola
rents his store. Many merchants in
Pensacola rent houses. Every rner-
chant in Pensacola hires a number of
salespeople, one or more Dookkeepers.
and ether clerical force. Every mer-
chant in Pensacola does banking in
