Defiance of the Moral Law

agine for a moment that they can disre-

but they find that Nemesis still awaits

Mrs. Mamah Borthwick Cheney Is the
latest conspicuous sufferer in long list
OF tragedies OF this kind. Her CON-
panion was Frank Lloyd Wright. one OF
the most brilliant architects of Chicago.
Both of them were married. Several
years ago Wright left his wife as a result
OF his devotion to Mrs. Cheney, who then
lived with her husband in a beautiful
house in Oak Park. a Chicago suburb.
There was a temporary reconciliation.
Mrs. Cheney and Wright did not follow
the wise course OF keeping far apart
They saw one another again and imme

where they spent year. lingering at the
most romantic spots on the Continent
On their return Mrs. Cheney did not 60

left her husband and her children.
Wright, however, returned 10 his wife,
and the neighbors believed that there had
been reconciliation and forgiveness.
AS a matter OF fact. a wall separating
the Wright house into two dwellings was
built. Mrs. Wright lived on one side
and Wright on the other. The children
spent part OF the time ON one side Of
the partition and part on the other
After three months the pair became
reconciled and the partition was torn
down.
Mr. Cheney obtained divorce and his
wife resumed her maiden name. Mamah

Editor Pensacola Journal:
There are always two sides to a
question" We hear so much about
"clean up your premises" Every lit
tie while You see an article in the pa
pers concerning it. Most of us house
keepers are ready and willing to keep
houses and premises clean, and in or
der, but the city does not seem ready
to help us.
Friday the garbage tub was put in
the street and the following Wednes-
day still finds it there, unemptied.
The flies swarming about it, typhoid
breeders. Adding insult to injury the
garbage wagon goes right by US Tues
day, and leaves our tub, still unemp-
tied. And in the meantime We are
hunting around for empty boxes to use
until the wagon does finally take our
garbage and restore to us our empty
tub.
We are in the East Hill section of
the city, and the wagons are supposed
to call Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sat
urdays, but it is q mere supposition,
as the garbage is seldom removed
more than once a week.
Now we housekeepers would like the
city to help us in the clean up move
ment, as we are willing to help them.

Pensacola Punch and
Philadelphia Publicity.

The value of publicity has never
been recognized in any era In the
worlds history, as it is today. 1t has
come to be realized that legitimate
advertising is the best means to be
used In acquainting the public with
anything of any value. Money used
for exploitation is often money thrown
away. Money used for acquainting a
large reading public with the truth.
is almost invariably-indee6, one may
be counted safe in saying, invariably
money well spent.
For a good many years Philadelphia
has been more or less somnolent.
Philadelphia, with the traditions of
good Mr.. William Penn back of it,
with its splendid Quaker ancestry,
has thought more of blue blood and
family tradition than any other city
in the world, excepting, perhaps,
Richmond.
Now Philadelphia is suddenly walk
ening to the fact that while it has
been going it's dignified way, and
keeping its good qualities carefully
hidden, 1.-THE world do move" and
while the world hurries along it's busy
way it is very apt to forget all about
such sleepy towns as Philadelphia,
unless these cities wake up, and catch
step with the procession.
With that good old Quaker stock
back OF it, Philadelphia has the hardi-
hood to right about face and get into
the procession. and keep in it. once it
gets well walked up.
One of the first things. possibly,
that shook Philadelphia from Its siesta
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1914-04-24

may have been the removal OF the ma
rines from the Philadelphia navy yard
to Pensacola. While Philadelphia has
been sleeping other cities have been
alive to their own interests.
Pensacola walked several years ago
to the fact that If this port is to take
the position in the worlds progress
which oy right It should take, It must
get to work, not to exploit any ficti-
tious values, but to call the attention
of the world to its real worth and its
indisputable Importance.
For the small amount OF money that
has been put into this work, Pensacola
is one Of the best advertised cities
natural advantages are so great that
it is impossible for anything to with
hold them from the attention of the
world.
A meeting Of hotel and business
men in the Quaker City was recent
ly called to discuss some means of
bringing the advantages Of Philadel-
phia before the world. The plan out
lined called for an assessment to be
paid by those interested in the move
ment.
The plan has now progressed to the
point where the business interests of
Philadelphia have substantially united
in pressing the municipal administra-
ton to make an annual appropriation
of 100000 for the conduct Of a NUM-
cipal publicity department.. The city
will be advertised as a great trans
portation, Industrial, marketing and
financial centre with the view to
bringing business and industry to it.
There is no comparison, now, since
the completion of the Panama canal,
in the relative importance of the
ports of Philadelphia and Pensacola
Pensacola's harbor, it's geographical
situation, it's healthful climate, de-
lightful winter season, and its I'M
equalled environment as a summer
home, give it far greater natural ad-
vantages than are possessed by the
Pennsylvania port. 1t would not need
100000 a year to advertise Pensacola
to the world, and compel the world
to acknowledge it's supremacy as
port. 1t could do it on far less.
But there ought to be sum set
aside for this purpose every year, X
necessary by private subscription.
Pensacola should not give up the
fight now for the re-opening of the
navy yard, nor should this city fail to
do all in it's power to attract the at
tention of the world to the advantages
this port has over all other gulf ports.
Mobile and New Orleans to the
west Of us are not idle, any more than
is Philadelphia, to the north Of us.
Pensacola cannot sit idly by and
say LET them see for themselves,
and prosper. Because while Pensacola
Is waiting for the world to come and
see. other cities are spending hun
dreds and thousands in compelling
them to see.
1t will not take so much money if
everybody will do a part in this pub
licity work. The Journal is trying to
do its share.

FRIDAY. APRIL "a. 1914.
Present Situation Means
Nothing Less Than War.

President Wilson does not want to
call the trouble with Mexico war;
the word evidently sounds too harsh
for him and he is said to cherish
some hope that war will. not be neces-
sary.
The entire country will probably
agree with the president in this mat
ter, but It seems that war already
exists. whether we would have 1t or
not.
For this President Wilson is In no
wise to blame He has been very
tolerant and has gone as far as he felt
that he could go with honor to the
nation to prevent war with the greas-
ers and even when the latest out
rage occurred, the arrest and the
public parading of Americans In Tam
pico, he was willing to let Mexico off
with the apology that is due from one
nation to another under similar cir
ecumstances.
But Huerta refused to do this
after first promising that he would
Add to this the hundreds of other
indignities that have been shown to-
ward the American people. and the
cause for resentment on the part
of the United States is great
1t MAY be said that the country
was growing extremely impatient Of
the conservative policy of the United
States. and the demand to call the
hand of the Mexican usurper was
great.
Had the president not needed 1t,
he would certainly have brought down
on his devoted head a shower of abuse
and condemnation.
President Wilson has shown great
forbearance. He has been slow to
resent palpable insults, and only
adopted extreme measures after the
arrest OF the American sailors at
Tampico. and the failure of Huerta
tn salute the American flag as was
demanded by Rear Admiral Mayo. He
was compelled to uphold this demand,
or tamely submit to continued in
suits from Dictator Huerta
The latter welcomes war because
he knows that he can never unite
arouse a spirit of national pride and
unite the contending factions.
The chances are good that Huerta
will succeed in enlisting the rebels
in case of war with the United States.
There are unmistakable evidences that
all Mexicans, whether federals or con-
stitutionalists, dislike the United
States. and it may be expected that
they will be soon making common
cause.
OF course the United States will
win. There will be some bloody
fights, but there can be but one term
nation.
All over the country the patriotic
blood OF American citizens is beginning
to boil and there will be plenty of
volunteer soldiers for war with Mex
leo.
Patriotic citizens Of the United
States will uphold the administra-
ton. There is no other course left
for them. The man who doesn't
stand by his country in time of war
is not worthy of citizenship.
