school spirit as a vital, pulsing part
OF the larger Pensacola spirit that
is to make this city all the most pes
simst1c citizen really hopes down in
the bottom Of his heart it will be. And
L believe this school spirit will come
when the people begin to look around
them, begin to think. begin to see what
must be done to lay the right foun-
dationS, for the school system the city
ought to have.
In this same column OF your paper
often appear articles full sometimes
of good suggestions that are, I fear,
too often passed over as not exactly
practicable for Pensacola Be that as
1T may, thought and discussion will
bring out for the schools the same
germlnal thoughts that are beginning
to Sprout in the commercial bus
mess phase of our city consciousness.
And perhaps before very long the peo-
PIE will begin to get together for pub
TIC and general consideration of school
improvements just as they are get
ting together now to lay for a more
prosperous year for the city In 1914
and in 1915. The people can give
birth to a city school spirit and keep
1t alive as easily as they can any 9TH
er sort of spirit, and if so, why not
do 1t? And why wait? The school
board is doing all it can do; the peo-
pie must unite their hands

lea under the leadership OF woodrow
Wilson, surrendered to Great Britain.
We have heard some such stuff as
this from irresponsible and menda-
cious sources, but we never expected
anything like it from the Tampa
Tribune.
If maintaining the national honor by
complying with our treaty obligations
and il refusing to allow a million dol
lar annual subsidy to the American
ship owners constitutes q. surrender to
Great Britain, the English language
has lost its meaning.
We are at a loss to understand our
contemporary attitude on the sub
ject. We should hesitate to think that
The Tribune, like certain others who
were disappointed because OF Wood
row Wilson's nomination at Baltimore,
has seized upon this as the first OPP
portunity to knife a man whose NOM
ination it originally opposed. We
should dislike to think that the Trib-
une could be actuated by motives sc
small as those involved in some OF
the presidents recent opposition in
congress.
Surely The Tribune does not Sc
riously think that the United States
has surrendered to Great Britain OF
to anyone else. Such an assertion Is
unworthy of this great newspaper for
which The Journal has always enter
tanned the highest respect.

cerned, from whatever source il

BNE FLY NOW MEANS INNUMER-
ABLE BILLIONS LATER ON.
The determination of the winter fly
IS the duty of the housewife and or
every one; Don't let one escape; eaten
and kill them all while ii is spring, for
the winter fly is the parent of sum-
mer's destructive swarns.
The time to destroy the fly is before
1t has had a chance to lay its eggs.
Now is the time.
Capture every one of the filthy little
pests you can find.
A single fly is capable of depositing
$50 eggs at one time. and of pro-
ducing five or six patches during its
short life.
The progeny OF single pair of flies,
assuming that they all live. if pressed
together at the end of the summer,
would occupy a space of over four
teen million cubic feet. This would
be equivalent to a building as large as
the Woolworth building.
These figures show the incalculable
possibilities OF single fly and how
vital Ii is to destroy the winter flies.
Don't think because the flies do not
annoy you now that they should not
be "swatted." Now is when swat
ting is most effective.
A steady war should be wageo
against the fly all the time, but espec-
tally in the summer, when it is mos
prolific. Physicians the world over

INJUSTICE DONE OFFICERS

Editor Pensacola Journal:
L notice an article in The Pensacola
Ian Scott. l want to say that think
that Mr.. Scott has expressed the SEN
tlment of every honest, Intelligent
person in Pensacola.
The injustice that has been done the
policemen and firemen by the reduc-
ton of their wages should not be al
lowed to continue
The commissioners wish to discour-
age graft; they want their men to seek
out and expose gambling. etc. These

may offend the high and mighty and
be out of a job, and have to go for
assistance to the very ones they are
now almost forced to play the SPY on
Why should the policemen and fire
men be punished for what they were
IN no way able to prevent. 1t was not
the fault of these men that the city's
money was placed where it was not

contact with the families of many of
the men in both departments. They

for the ones responsible for the funds
to have done, yet. when through no
fault of their own, the city finds IT.
self without funds they are the first
to suffer.
Nothing has been said about reduc-
ing the salaries (not wages of the
ones responsible for this condition.
Just slice out of three Of the ones
highest up in office with a small por-
ton out of each OF those receiving
much more than the police and fire
men, would arrange very nicely for
the economy which our commission
ers are trying to practice.
[ think that when this enforced
economy would touch some Of those
men their ideas of economy would
undergo a radical change. Be that as
it may, the men receiving the highest
salary, and especially those who by
their own carelessness caused this
state of affairs should be the ones
to help remedy it and not the men
who are called up on at any hour
to risk their lives for us and in return
receive starvation wages.
When men are paid a living wage
and not before will 1T be time to talk
about stopping graft.

Some Pertinent Examples
of Newspaper Failures.

The cost of establishing a news
paper and of successfully conducting
1t is now becoming so great that few
daily newspapers can be established
and put on a paying basis without
the expenditure of a great deal more
money than is usually possessed by
the men who aspire to become pub
fishers.
Particularly is this true where the
feld is already covered by papers all
ready in existence. Some recent il
Illustrations OF the futility OF trying
to maintain newspapers in a crowded
field are very pertinent examples of
this fact.
Some months ago a new afternoon
paper, The Post, was launched in
Mobile to compete with the other
afternoon paper. The Item, which al
covered the field. After what must
have been the expenditure of a great
deal of money The Post has CONSOLE
dated with The Item and 1t leaves the
Mobile afternoon field with one news
paper-right where it was before.
A short time ago it was attempted
to establish a new paper in Jackson
willie. A modern and expensive equip
ment was Installed and the paper was
launched with a large force OF men to
compete with The Metropolis In a field
which The Metropolis already ade-
ouately hlled. The result was the
same as with the Mobile case, ex-
cept the new paper suspended abso-
lutely
Previous attempts have also been
made in Mobile. in Jacksonville, in
Tampa, in Pensacola, in New Orleans
ana in numerous other cities, but al
with the same result-failure.
Attempts by afternoon papers to es-
tablish Sunday morning editions have
also been made In numerous fields and
In many of them failure has been the
ultimate result. For years The Mem
phis News-Scimitar, an afternoon
paper, tried TO establish a Sunday
morning edition in a field already
completely filed by the Memphis
Commercial Appeal. AS a result The
News-Scimitar lowered on the brinl
for years, part or the time being op-
Grated by a receiver, and it ultimately
was forced 20 suspend Its SUNDAY
paper. The st. Louis Star had al
almost similar experience. The Pen
sacola News put on a Sunday morn
ing edition in a field already covereI
by The Journal and after but little
more than a year of operation it wen
the way of similar enterprises.
In New Orleans The Times-Demo
crat and The Picayune are said to b.
negotiating a consolidation. Thes'

Parcel Post Possibilities

On the Pensacola boost page,
which number of progressive Pen
sacola firms are running every Sun
day in The Journal, will be found to-
day some excellent food for study on
the possibilities which the parcel post
offers for both sellers and buyers
within a radius of $50 miles of Pen
sacola.

the figures given there and of the
suggestions made in connection with
them. The parcel post is going to
benefit both the people who sell goods
or products and those who buy them.
