MR.. SWANSON TELLS
WAY WOMEN SHOULD VOTE

Editor Pensacola Journal:
There has recently been organized
in our city an equal suffrage league.
The interest in this matter is very
keen among men and women alike,
and as a consequence, the member
ship of the league is growing very IA
pidIy.
But why should women vote Well,
because they want to. The national
organizer. Miss Engle, a pretty, cap
tivating and charming young lady of
distinguished Southern ancestry, re-
minded the people of Pensacola that
the women Of America, along with the
men. severed all connections with
England and English methods in the
year of our Lord 1875. Miss Engle ex-
planned that American women didn t

IDEALS NOT TO BLAME
FOR HIGH COST OF LIVING
Editor Pensacola Journal.

Editor Pensacola Journal.
A westerner, when endeavorinE to
solve the problem Of the high cost of
living, attacked our public schools on
the ground that the ideals presented
tend to increase the burden of many.
since the sons and the daughters of
the taxpayers are not contented, with
that which satisfied those of their age
even twenty years ago.
The sixteen-year- daughter, the
writer says, must have a piano, which
calls for an expenditure quite out of
proportion to her fathers earnings.
Do you fancy the writer in question
was speaking from experience? Was
his sixteen year-old daughter, through
the ideals presented in high school, be-
coming a burden to him? Would he
prefer to have her talent for music
remain unnoticed and undeve1oped I'M
til twenty summers had passed?
We must not dwell upon such
thoughts; the smack Of the dark
ages.
The young man of today, when ques-
toned as to his estimate of a high
school education, either blesses the day
when first he found himself within the
halls OF the old building, and recalls
this graduation, or, alas, he thinks Of
the bitter vicissitudes of life and de-
plores the fact that in the hour of
his own weakness and inability to
choose, no strong arm was offered no
light was thrown upon his pathway,
no index finger pointed to the oppor-
tunity within his reach.
Need mention be made of your young
women-your girls, if you please-who
have set about to fashion their lives
in conformity 10 those very ideals?
What if their tastes, their desires, their
ambitions manifest themselves earlier
in life. Is it to mean the price Of
Concert Grand or a Steiner? Or is
1t to mean. rather. that music and
art and better living shall come into
the home to keep it bright and CHEEKY
day by day?
Busy hours in the ONCE in the shop,
on the farm, become crystallized more
and more into a form Of pleasure as
the revelation becomes clear that, as
a recompense for such toll, hands and
hearts and minds are being prepared
to do honor to those who sacrificed
that the lives Of loved ones might be
enriched and equipped for greater use
