Southern Women Are
Interested in Public Affairs

A few days ago, The journal direct
ed attention to the attempt being
made by the race track gamblers to
legalize race track betting in Louis
lana. A day or two later The Jour
nails news dispatches told of the de
feat of the attempt.
The Louisiana situation attracted
attention all over the country and the
defeat of the gamblers bill was noted
with satisfaction everywhere The
Chicago Journal notes as we'll the part
that the women PLAYED in defeating
the measure and says editorially:
The women OF Louisiana won a not
able victory yesterday. A bill had been
introduced in the legislature of that
state to legalize horse raCing-and in
cidentally, to license the bookmakers
and thing gamblers who follow
the noble raCehOrse in his rounds.
Every sporting interest in the
south favored the measure and it had,
besides, the aid of that section Of the
commercial world which still imagfneS
that the free spending of successful
gamblers is good for business" But
the women beat it. Though destitute
of votes, they descended on the Louis
lana legislature, and coaxed, per
Suaded, wheedled and enCOura ged the
SOIOnS 10 QeIeaL the OBNOXIOUS Dill.
Plainly, the women Of the south are
as much interested in public ques-
lions as their sisters north of Mason
and Dixons line. It will cause no sur
prise If the next recruit to the list OF
suffrage states" should come from
Dixie.
Our Chicago contemporary is cor
rect in the observation that southern
women are interested in public ques-
tons equally with their sisters of the
north and west. The women of Flor
ida are active forces for good in every
city and hamlet in the state. Pensa-
cola owes much to them for the
aroused public sentiment on civic re-
forms and the same can be said of
the women all over Florida.
The seat of wisdom, in public as
we'll as in private affairs, long since
ceased to be the exclusive possession
of man.

A JUNE WEDDING
1877 YEARS AGO TODAY

Editor Pensacola Journal:
In the city OF Philadelphia on the
14th day of June 1877, the Stars and
Stripes were united as one. And this
was the wedding vow:
Resolved, that the flag Of the Uni
ted States be thirteen stripes, alter
nate red and white, with the union
Of thirteen stars, white in a blue field,
the red, white and blue representing a
new constitution"
General George Washington, Col.
George Ross and Robert Morris were
the best men; and Betsy Ross, who
made the first flag in her own home.
was the maid of honor at this June
wedding.
The arms and crest OF the ances-
tors of General Washington contained
both stripes and five pointed stars,
and the combination for OUT flag was
probably suggested by him.
No flag seems as beautiful as ours.
It's blue sky and shining stars, with
its streaks Of red and white. Every
old soldier knows the magic Of this
flag and it's forceful influence in bat
tie.
Before the flag adopted had been
made, a flag made Of q soldiers white
flannel petticOat was unfurled over a
captured fort, and served its purpose
well.
our flag. older than any man or wo-
man living today stands for liberty
and Independence. It means free
speech, free schools, free thought,
with liberty and Justice to all; the red
signifying the blood shed for our
country; the white expressing faith.
hope. peace; and the blue loyalty,
sincerity and justice.
Captain Paul Jones sent these coIors
for the first time to the top Of his
mast at sea, and again as he arrived
at his port IN France.
W. T. Sherman Post, Grand Army
OF the Republic, asks thai all flags in
the city be raised to full mast from
sun up till sun down, on June 14th,
Flag Day.

Presidents Victory for
Free Tolls Repeal.

The passage Of the free tolls repeal
bill by decisive majorities in both the
senate and the house is one Of the
most pronounced victories that Pres
ident Wilson has won since taking the
oath of office.
That free tolls was contrary to dem
ocratic policy as we'll as in violation
of a solemn treaty obligation is re-
cognized an all sides. An unfortunate
and contra dictory platform declara ton
made the presidents task a hard one,
b1t the common sense and distinter-
ested patriotism which predominates
in both houses of congress came to
his aid and the victory is as satisfac-
tory as it is emphatic.
With only fifteen months Of office
and with the tariff bill, the currency
bill. and the canal tolls bill passed and
with early action on the antitrust
policy almost a certainty, the Wilson
administration has now TO its credit
the greatest amount Of constructive
legislation enacted by any administra-
ton since the civil war.

its county seat, was the center of a
great section of productive planta-
tons and a prosperous people.
During all the years since, this rich
agricultural section has held leader

and now, as always. it produces more
cotton and corn than any other county
in the state.
