LIFE IN PASS CHRISTIAN.
Washington Post.


There is romance in President VII
sons section of Pass Christian, on the
Gulf Of Mexico. as the place Wnere
he is spending his Christmas holidays.
o. Henry could have written a tale
about that small southern town reused
from it's tranquility by the coming or
the president-a tale that would have
made us sit up in our chairs, with ears
cooked forward to hear the lap Of the
waves against the lonesome shores.
The mayor of the town has assumed
dictatorfal powers, and is displaying a n
energy that lifts him out of the rubble
Of ordinary men. Any curious native
lettering within 800 yards of the tenn
to the dungeon. The man who tries
to disturb the quiet of the presidential
family will be decapitated in Pass
Christian. both socially and politically.
The mayor of the town will not hest
tate to act SO much for BuclSing-
ham.
What a relish there is in the placid
announcement that the natives will
supply the temporary White House
with fresh Ash. game, fruits and choice
vegetables. These delicacies will be
carried to the president by The colored
servants. In these days of cold storage
food, hundreds OF men without politi-
cal ambition will long to be president,
just TO go to Pass Christian, where
fresh food awaits the welcome wish
tor.
What n pity II is that Cooney Hans
brough OF Culpepper cannot be there!
How Cooney would love to be at the
station when the presidential train
comes in: How he would yawn and
sleepily stretch his arms, lettering 500
or 1900 yards from the temporary
White House in sublime indifference,
thus convincing the Pass Christian au-
thorities that he is in truth an ideal
citizen.
Cooney wanted for years for the
trains to come and go in Culpepper,
and yet when the president of the
United States suddenly appeared and
shook his hand he showed no emotion,
and did not even celebrate the event
by running for congress. Cooney is the
kind of citizen they need in Pass Chris
tan these DAYS.

Get Together Spirit
Necessary for Years Work,

Almost simultaneous with the open

IN Pensacola's commercial body, and
the Pensacola Commercial Associa-
tion's absorption into the new trade

turning OF the leaf from the old year

make for its success or failure.
It is futile to anticipate anything
but mt least partial failure In any pub

civic work can possibly succeed. The
Get Together spirit must be shown
throughout the year as well as on spe-

the Pensacola Commercial Association
has done much to demonstrate it's

established beyond peradventure it's
unquestionable value and has made
evident even the most captious critic
or the most casual observer the fact
that such body is not only necessary
but imperative TO the growth OF the
city and section.
And this 1t has done under many
handicaps. And these same handicaps
must be recognized and faced by the
Chamber OF Commerce. just as they
have been recognized by the CONNER
cial Association.
And the greatest OF these is indifrer-

association, the periodical Get-Together
spirit and it's manifestations will not
avail to overcome the inertia Of the
! DAVIS and months that have gone be-
fore.
Get-Together meetings are good for
the life Of any association. Boosters
gatherings give an impetus that Is en-
couraging and stimulating. Periodical
assemblings, for the purpose OF dis
cussion of conditions, with the hope o.
promoting what is good and curbirIg
what is bad, are the best possible tonic
for civic Ills.
But a town cannot live on stinulants
and tonics and the good will that Get
Together meetings induce, any more
than a person can subsist normally and
nationally on continuous doses Of
sugar-coated pills or noxious nostruns.
The best tonic in the world for any
city Is that cooperative spirit that
works tremendously and effectively all
the year round for that citys growth.
The spirit that moves steadily forward.
toward definite ends, doing a share
toward the upbuilding Of the city, not
once in six months. but each day, IN
life.
There is not one man IN Pensacola
who Is not strong enough, or able
enough, or rich enough, to do some
thing to help build up Pensacola. and
in so doing to assist the commercial
body, whose special business 1t is to
work for the city and promote It's In
terests.
Daily good VIII Is a thousand fold
better than six monthly enthusfasns.
The man who cannot do any more, can
say a good word for his town, or at
least deny himself the privilege Of
abusing 1t and those who are working
for It's better interests.
1t is the business of the commercial
secretary to do the work of the ASSOC
citation. That is what he is paid for.
But the commercial secretary can no
more make the success of the CONNER
cial body than an employee can run any
other business. without the interest
and cooperation of the men behind
that business.
1t is just as futile to expect com
mercial secretary to run a commercial
association by himself as It would be
to expect any other employee to run
any other business by himself.
The lack of interest in the work of
the commercial body, by the men who
make up that body, is shown again and
again in the attendance, or failure in
attendance, at the meetings.
1t is the duty of these men to attend
these meetings. 1t is their money that
it put into this business. It is their
interests that It is conserving. It Is
not only their privilege to attend. and
their inalienable right to attend, IT is
their business to attend. And unless
they do attend these meetings, unless
they do show this daily interest, unless
they do merge personal differences in
public interests, all the commercial
secretaries, all the boosters meeting
and all the Get Together banquets IN
the world will fail IN any real and
lasting good.
1T is men that are needed. Men that
will do" and let others do.
