THURSDAY AFTERNOON,

The Pensacola Library Association
viii meet on Thursday afternoon at
five o'clock for the purpose of elect
ing officers for the ensuing year:
president. vice president. secretary ana
treasurer win be elected. and 1t is the
wish OF those who constitute the gov
erning board that all members may
make an earnest effort to be present
IN order that these off1ces may be ef-
ficiently filed.
Wonderful strides have been made in
the development OF the library during
the past year and to the untiring ef-
forts OF the president, Mr.. Adolph
Greenhut and the earnest work OF Mr..
F. F. Bingham, this growth may be
attributed to . great degree
These gentlemen have given their
time and attention to the work Of up
building the Pensacola Library and

ers, the drivers or the public to pay
more, and it seems impossible to force
the gasoline companies to reduce their
prices. 1t has been suggested that
fares be raised. but the drivers who
now live almost solely on tips, Declare
that tips would be reduced if the
charges were increased. The strike
has only proven one thing, and that
Is that there are too many taxicabs
on London streets.
Editor is Fined.
The editor of newspaper in Tomslz,
Russia, has just been fined $50 for
publishing an article dealing with the
destitution Of the inhabitants of the
governmental district of Tomsk, where
many hundreds of persons are on the
verge Of starvation as a result Of the
failure of crops. He was also notified
that a repetition Of such false re-
ports" would result in three months
imprisonment, without the option of
fine.
simultaneously with the publication
Of the judgment against this editor
comes the report that the Russian
minister Of the interior has approved
an appropriation of s65O.oo0 'for the
relief Of the famine sufferers of the
governmental district Of Tomsk."

PEOPLE VS.. THINGS
In The GAME OF LIFE.

A dear old lady who has celebrated
her golden wedding said something not
long ago calculated to cause one to
pause and think. and to wonder II ex-
perience always teaches its lessons too
late.
This old lady has spent all the years
Of her life, now nearly three score and
ten, in cleaning and baking and sew
ing. Before the spring cleaning was
finished II was preserving time, and
almost before all the summer fruits
and vegetables were canned the fall
cleaning was at hand. When 1t was
not washing or scrubbing, or baking,
or preserving. or sewing, 1t was mend
ing and boiling and ironing and stew
ing. There never seemed to be time
enough to do anything but cook and
clean, wash and iron. Life was one
continual round OF petty cares and ar
duous tasks. But the clothes were al
ways spotless. pantry shelves groaned
v.sth preserves and jellies, there was
never an untidy room, a speck Of dust
or a Uttered floor.
In talking about her past life this
old lady said: 81 have just begun Il
realize that people are so much more
interesting than things. I have al
ways been so busy I have never before
had time to know people, but now
am beginning to realize how much

the work Of the separated bodies now
overlaps and money spent in edIlca-
tional and social objects Is often
wasted.
The supreme purpose of the ANAL
gamation will be the solution Of labor
unrest by the workers themselves.
All fields Of effort will be entered by
the new organization, which will add
to the present funds of the co-opera-
tors the capital of the unions.
FIoeains for Drunkenness.
DR.. Miller. lecturing before the Lon
don Medical Society, has advocated
logging for drunkards. He declared
that the present system OF treating
drunkenness judicially is all wrong,
because 1t began at the wrong end.
When a citizen is brought up for the
first time on a charge Of drunkenness,
he is admonished and allowed to go;
the second time he is fined, and the
third he is imprisoned. Exactly the
opposite course should be pursued.
The first time the man is clearly culp-
able. the second time he is less ac-
countable for his condition, and the
third time he is chronic drunkard.
The only thing such a man remem-
bers, DR.. Miller said, is physical pain.
Il Is the one logical deterrent for the
chronic alcoholic, and 1t is the one not
used. The reason for this Is that we
are too scientific and too sentimental.
We are too white-livered to beat man
who beats his wife; therefore. In the
name Of humanity the wife has to go
on getting beaten. II would be kind
to fog the alcoholic early. whereas II
Is simply barbarous to imprison him
later.
One Strike Blessing.
A strike which is pronounced a
blessing by the general public, is the
novelty which London is now enjoying
as the result OF the taxicab drivers
refusal to pay the increase in the price
or gasoline. A few consistent taxi
users who are unable to instantly
summon their favorite vehicle grumble
at the strike, but the ordinary citizen
who during the present disagreeable
weather travels underground is de-
lighted because when he does emerge
into the light Of day he can cross the
street without endangering his life.
The strike itself is proving a bigger
task to settle than was expected. II
appears equally difficult for the own

To use on the hands there is nothing

TO CELEBRATE
PEACE PACT
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ONE
HUNDRED YEARS PEACE BE-
TWEEN THE ENGLISH SPEAK
ING NATIONS IS TO BE GIVEN
PROPER SIGNIFICANCE.

London, Feb. s.1The first tangible
results OF the efforts of the English
committee for the celebration Of the
hundred years OF peace between the
English-sp speaking races, are found IN
the purchase Of an option on Sulgrave
manor, the ancestral home Of the
Washington family, and the securing
OF permission from the abbey author
tiles to erect a statute Of Washington
in Westminster Abbey.
Although both OF these projects were
announced as part Of the British plan
for the celebration Of the British
American peace centenary in 1s14-15.
the negotiations for their accomplish
ment have been secret and the re-
suits have not yet been made public.
This secrecy led to a hostile demon
stration by the people 3f the neigh
borhood against the agents who Wis
tied Sulgrave manor. A great many
people in the midlands are still smart
ing over the removal OF the globe room
OF the Reindeer Inn Of Banbury, which
is said to have been purchased by an
American, and, when they saw the
agents inspecting Sulgrave manor, the
Inhabitants believed them to be on a
similar mission. Therefore the recep-
ton which the committee members
received was anything but cordial.
However, the true reason for the pur-
chase was whispered about and the
change OF feeling was quickly noted.
for wherever in England a historical
site is properly marked American
tourists become the chief supporters
OF the inns and shops which grow UP
about It.

GOVERNMENT LETS
TWO CONTRACTS
LOCAL LIGHT AND GAS CON-

FOR FEDERAL BUILDING.

Word was received yesterday that
The government had accepted the bid
of the MiSsoula Light & Water COM
pany for electricity for light and power
needed at the new federal building
The bid of the Missoula Gas company
FOR emergency lighting was also ac
cepted. Contracts have been prepared
and the question of light and power
for the structure which is to soon be-
come the home of the postoffice and
forest service Is settled
All of the wiring of the building, in
clud1ng the circuits for lighting, tele-
phone and clock regulation were fin
ished at the proper time during the
construction of the building. Yester-
day Fred Behmer of the Reading
Chandler works of Reading, Pa, ar
rived here to install the electrical fix
lures. The lighting fixtures, at least
those which will be needed first, will
be ready within few days, but it will
require about six weeks to complete
the whole job.

MANY ARE COMING
FROM HELENA
A. }. BREITENSTElN WIRES THAT
DELEGATION FROM CAPITAL
WILL BE LARGE.

Good progress was made yesterday
on the preparations for the Red Apple
banquet, which promises to be one of
the most enjoyable functions ever held
in Mlssoula. A. J. Breitenstein, now
secretary of the state fair, called up
from Helena yesterday with the an
nouncement that the city of Helena
would be well represented at the ban
quet, and that the legislators were
coming practically to a man. I've
been answering inquiries by the score"
said Mr. Breitenstein. The Red Ap-
pie banquet invitations received here
have done their work, and your special
train will have all it can handle'
The local committee is working hard
and faithfully to make this years BAN
quet standard whereby to judge the
success of subsequent ventures along
this line. Charles Shrage, who is in
charge of feeding the multitude, has
prepared a menu that surely looks
good. Tine program will have on it the
names Of men who are famous for their
after dinner speaking ability, and it
has been arranged 50 that it will not
be too long drawn out. AS one mem
Der of the committee put it yesterday:
We are going to start the banquet at
$50 in order to feed them when they
are hungry, and we are commencing
early enough so that they will be
through before any of the guests go to
sleep
The sale of tickets has not been very
encouraging. Secretary Ferguson has
worn the pavement down two inches,
but a large number of tickets remain
unsold, and it is hoped that there will
be a better sale today and tomorrow. 1t
will be a banquet worth attending. and
it is thought that the citizens of Mis-
soula will line up for their tickets dur
ing the next two days. The committee
is anxious to close the sale in order
that it may have some idea of how
many guests will be present.
The Milwaukee announced yesterday
that it had made arrangements for a
rate of one fare and a third for the
banquet. The tickets will be placed on
sale Friday, and will be good for re-
turn on any train leaving Missoula
Sunday. The Northern Pacific will
probably make the same rate, but the
st. Paul office has not yet made it
public.

Same rough, care free
MODERN life that Missoula knew
BORDER a generation ago
Hardy men whose life
is spent in a struggle with primcval
nature, whose pleasure is gained in
saWdust-floored saloons where the
Whiskey is strong and trivial disputes
end not infrequently in an exchange
of bullets. Consider in proof this
tale of two men in a little town not
far west of Missoula. The bully of
this town was a giant of man:
broad -shouldered, hardened in muscle
and heart by life on the border By
his daring and his physical strength
he had put fear of him in the hearts
of every man in the town: what he
said was law. He was a born fighter
and let no chance for battle pass
unheeded. 1t CHANGED one day tha
a tall pale, gangling doctor from a
nearby town came to this giants camp
to attend a patient. The big fellow,
always eager to show fresh proof of
his right to rule, hardly waited for the
doctor to alight from the train before
he swung at him. The tail doctor
wasn't there when the fist arrived,
though. He wasn't as ungainly as he
looked and his long, thin arms carried
a lot of Wiry muscle, built up by four
years of college athletic training AS
the bully followed up his blow, the
doctor slipped in lightning like
short-arm jolt and the big fellow went
to the floor. When he fell his head
struck on the edge of great cast iron
spittoon and almost split open. The
bully was knocked cold. But the
doctor didn't stop. He had heard of
this big fellow before and calmly
proceeded TO beat him up. He ham
mered and kicked him until he thought

TODAYS ments-lead us to speak
PIONEERS of the pioneers as a
generation that has
gone, to eulOgize them as a race of
splendid men to whom none of our day
are comparable. We placidly look at
the signs of civilization about us and
consider pioneer days at an end while
just beyond the light of our streets are
men engaged in just as primitive, just
as splendid a fight against the wilder
ness as that Waged by the trailbla2-
ers who first built campfires on the
city'S site. This great raw state is
civilized only in patches. Strike out
from the railroad and before you have
ridden a day YOU will meet with men
who are as truly pioneers as the pros
pectors who first grubbed Montana's
bills for gold Out in the mountains
today there are homesteaders whose
mode of life is identical with that of
the first pioneers. They are living
in log cabins in the heart Of the
wilderness, seeing no one in months,
Z living on forest fare, packing in sup

man could be. There are two or
three university graduates, for in
stance, who are demonstrating in the
mountains not far from MiSsoua,
where they don't see a stranger once
a year. Their fresh meat is killed in
the woods, their home is a hut of logs,
their daily task is the Telling of trees
and the cultivation of raw land. They
are Wrestling homes from the wilder
ness just as their fathers did before
them; they are as truly pioneers as
the French traders who first bartered
with the F'latheads.
