ENTERTAINMENT
AT FERRY PASS

For several years it has been GUS
tomary at the close of the Ferry Pass
school to have a half day session. with
dinner on the grounds at II O'Clock,

nent Thursday night. There will be
Mother Goose and her numerous at

Non-P tisan
Judges.

The Iowa legislature has just passed
a bill providing for the nom partisan
election of judges. The measure passed
the senate by vote of Al to o, there
being no opposition. Therein lies the
surprise.
1t was to be expected that the legis-
lature of an enlightened state would
vote to take the election of judges out
of the mire of politics. once the issue
was raised, but that it should do so
unanimously certainly is revelation
of the changes in the times.
Time is coming al over the country
when men viii be elected to places on
the bench, because Of their fitness and
qualifications to deal out justice be-
tween man and man. Too many judges
III this country now are appointed by
presidents or selected by legislatures of
states. All the judges of all the courts
state and national, should be elected
by the people and they should be Sc
lected for their fitness alone.
When the people have the absolute
power to make and unmalSe theig
courts. there will be less Judge made
law and more even Justice

Making a
City Beautiful.

The board of trade of the thriving
little city Of st. Petersburg in South
Florida has a special committee al
work to supervise the planting of
$4,000 trees and 10000 shrubs and
plants.
This is a splendid move on the part
of a city that has already done con-
siderable in the way of tree planting
and park Improvement.
Tt is the rule and not the exception
to see in the state papers items like
these and nothing could more clearly
show the progress and advancement
of the Florida towns.
A city beautiful means a healthful
city and usually a prosperous place as
well. Pensacola has done something
In the way of tree planting and should
do a great deal more.
Nor should the spirit of tree planting
be confined to urban communities
alone. All the permanent roadways
in the country should be lined with
shade trees or better still with fruit
bearing trees.
West Florida is particularly adapted
t.. the growth of pecan trees anc these
make beautiful shade trees besides be-
ing very profitable for their nuts.
County commissioners could no moth
ing better for their constituents and
for posterity than to inaugurate sys-
tenn of planting trees along the perma-
nent highways of their respective
counties.

IN MEMORIAM.
Mrs. Eliza Bombay.


In the mysterious workings of His
divine providence, it has pleased Him
who doeth all things we'll to remove
from our midst our dear friend and
co-worker, Mrs. Eliza Bombay, from
earthly labors to that beautiful home
OF rest beyond the skies. She had been
q great sufferer for many months, but
bore It all with Christian fortitude.
Her loved ones and friends hoped that
she would soon be better, but alas for
human hopes, during the silent watches
Of the night of April End, 1918, her
spirit took its flight to the God who
gave it.
She was a member Of the Baptist
church and very loyal member of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union.
She was of quiet, sweet disposition,
so kind and gentle one had to know
her well to appreciate her virtues, but
to know her was to love her. She was
one Of the most beautiful charact
that we have ever known. We will
miss her sadly in our w. Q. 7. U.
meetings, for her place was never va
cant when 1T was possible for her to
be there. She always came with a
smile and a kind word for all. In her
death our union and the community
have sustained a great loss, but we
feel sure that our loss is her eternal
gain. She leaves a devoted husband
and five little boys besides a host Of
friends and relatives to mourn their
v
our sincere sympathy in this dark hour
Of bereavement, and trust they may be
upheld by the comforting assurance
God doeth all things we'll. Oft the
trials one is made to bear seems too
great for human endurance, but tits
then we are borne up by the everlast-
ing arms underneath and the promise,
MY strength is made perfect in weak
ness, for earth hath no sorrows that
heaven cannot heal"
Resolutions of Respect.
Whereas, our beloved sister, Mrs
Eliza Bombay, departed this life April
End, 1918, leaving the hearts of her
loved one lonely and sad over their
loss, and
Whereas, she was a useful and hon
ored member of the Woman's Christian
and
Whereas, we, as a union, and indi
vidually feel our loss keenly.
Be it resolved, first, that we bow in
humble submission to the will of God
knowing that she has departed to be
with him forevermore.
End. That we extend to her family
and other relatives our sympathy and
the assurance that our prayers will go
up to God, asking that He may COM
fort and sustain them.
Bird. That we commend her noble
and usefu! life and her modest Chris
tan character.
4th. That a copy of these resolu-
tons be spread on the minutes Of our
Union and a copy be sent to The Pen
sacola Journal, and a copy be sent to
the family.

THE GOVERNMENT A PARTNER
IN THE LIQUOR BUSINESS

Editor Pensacola journal.
There is one word in the Lord S
prayer that impresses me more than
all the rest. 1t is the word Our" If
the Bible is true, this one little word
of three letters proves the brotherhood
of man, the kinship of the race,
Second only to this is that greatest
of all petitions Thy Kingdom Come. .
If Gods kingdom comes, His viii is
sure to be done. His laws will be
obeyed. His name will be hallowed
God is not a mocl<er. When he gave
that command, After this manner pray
ye." He fully intended to grant that
prayer.
1t shows a lack of faith in His word,
to say that man will never cease to sin
in this world. 1t would be an evidence
of bad faith on the part of God Him
self, to tell US to pray that His will
might be done on earth as It is in
heaven" and then mentally resolve
that He would never grant that prayer.
The very giving of the petition i'm
plies a promise that it will be granted.
And at last we can hope that we see
just a faint glimmer of the dawn of
that GSeat day.
Only a few weeks ago. the whole ma
ton rejoiced over the passage OF the
Webb bill, and now our own beautiful
state is following the gleam." The
Davis bill, which passed the senate of
Florida on Tuesday last, will be a long
step forward and upward if it becomes
a law.
We look back with feelings of horror
on the tortures of the inquisition, the
burning of the martyrs, and St. Bar
tholemew's day, but in the ages to
come what will our descendants say of
a Christian government that licenses
and legaliZes and so becomes a share
holder in an institution that ruins
homes, wrecks human lives and jeop-
ardizes a mans hope OF eternal saliva
ton?
More than war or famine or pesti,-
ence, is the toll that the saloon levies
on the country. Even were the Ipss
confined to those who fill the drunk
ards grave, it would be appalling, but
add to this the thousands Of miserable,
half clothed, haIf-fed children, who
grow up dependent on charity. Think
Of the vessels lost because the. crew
was drunk. or the trains wrecked be-
cause of a. drunken engineer. OF men
murdered in drunken brawls. Only
think of it, Christian people!
Our government is licensing this ter
rible business. Is it any wonder that
men commit crimes in private life,
when the factory for uanufa curing
criminals is an institution authorized
by our national government?

] oPs PRESIDENT r1ueFrd tiGItj anu Sii<
Mexico City, May 16.-That the days
Of General Huerta as president Of Mex
leo are numbered is the opinion Of the
most careful. observers here. Gaining
the presidency through treachery. he
is regarded by the entire country as
murderer. Practically all Of Mexico,
with the exception Of three states, is in
revolt against him.
The gravity of Huerta's position is
shown by the fact that Felix Diaz, who
made him president, has turned against
him and is now one Of the most for
nidable enemies the administration
has. Huerta is compelled to keep
practically his entire military force IN
the City Of Mexico and it's immediate
vicinity to save himself from annihi-
letion. His personal movements are
under guard so heavy that no person

not in his direct confidence can ap-
proach without gunshot.
The most formidable movement
against Huerta is now led by Venus
tiana Carranza, under the direction of
Felix Diaz. Carranza operates in the
north and has the best organiza ton in
all the fighting with which the country
has been afflicted AS fast as he
seizes a. section Of territory he forms a
military government, restores partial
order and makes the inhabitants pay
for it by g heavy tax levy.
Meanwhile the Huerta governme
continues to prepare for the election
of a new president on October %.
Felix Diaz is expected to be the lead
ing candidate. Many believe, however,
that Huerta also will enter the race.
Francisco de Ia Barra, minister for
foreign affairs, may likewise decide to
run for the presidency.
