Greatest Event

All human experience looks back to
motherhood as the wonder of wonders
The patience, the fortitude, the sublime
faith during the period of expectancy are
second only to the mother love bestowed

DEAD HOPES.
n. 3. Bates, ST. Andrews, Fla.
AAAA~A~AA~AA~A~.

Bleak winters chill and biting blasts
Are sweeping DER the plain.
Denuded trees and falling leaves
Proclaim the frost-kings reign.
The signing breeze and muffled stream
Chant dirges, soft and low,
Of friends and hopes and blossoms
wrapped
In winding sheets of snow.
As storms and clouds make dark the
days
While weeks and months go by,
Full many weary hearts grow cold
AS hopes. like roses, die.
But not for aye is winters reign;
With all their brilliant train
The fragrant flowers again will bloom
And verdure clothe the plain.
Yet our beloved will still sleep on
Amidst the summers glow.
Their forms as cold as when en-
wrapped
In winding sheets Of snow.
Still these will live as lives again
The verdure and the flowers;
When God commands our friends will
rise,
With death -defying powers.
All, yes, our dead will live again,
Again the flowers will blow;
But our dead hopes will rest for aye
In winding sheets of snow.

English Censorship is
Disgusting the World.

The English news censorship is typi-
cal of the assumption of superior
knowledge and arrogance Of power
that has always been a part Of the
official life of the British government
The policy of suppressing facts may
have had some justification centuries
ago when the great majority Of the
people were both ignorant and super
stitious, but in this 20th-century age
of universal intelligence the attempted
conceaIment Of a great fact that has
to do with the lives and property OF
millions of people is nothing short Of
idiotic.
If a British battleship is sunk, why
should not the people who built and
own the battleship be entitled to In
formation on the subject?
If a British regiment makes a he
roic record in battle, why should the
friends and families of the soldiers who
got killed or wounded or who escaped
he denied a statement of facts in the
case?
The highly technical art Of war may
belong to only a select few, but that
art. with all of it's superiority. can
not rise higher in the end than the
source which feeds it, and that source
is the people themselves. Let those
people become suspicious OF dissatis-
fed and the art of war becomes a
failure.
The English war officials would be
foolish of course to publish their fu-
ture plans of campaign, but they are
infinitely more foolish in the policy of
suppressing the facts of past events,
In fact, their news censorship is not
only unsatisfactory to the English
people, but it is disgusting the whole |
world.

Our Hat Off
to This Astrologer.

The man who can predict something
cheerful Is always assured OF an
audience, no matter whether the pre-
dictfon inspires faith or not. Since
the declaration of war it has been
pointed out that hostilities were pre-
dicted by number of astroIogers, but
to the present time only one has
relative to the end of the war. Prof.
w. w. Marsh, of Cincinnati, who en-
Joys quite a reputation for ability to
secure good and bad tidings from the
planets, is out with a prediction that
the war will end in April and that
the end will be followed by an era of
the greatest prosperity IN this coun-
try. He says:
THE planets indicate the year 1915
will be the most prosperous year
known in the history of this country.
There will be great waves of prosper
ity throughout the United States:
plenty of labor for the laboring
classes: better conditions for the
poorer classes Peace will reign
throughout the world. The European
war will end during the early months
of the year, not later than April, with
satisfactory results to all nations"
Good for Prof. Marsh. That is the
kind of talk we like to hear, no mat
ter what the source OF the inspira-
4ion But the professor does not stop
with predicting good times and the
end of the war for he delves into the
future and predicts good rains gen.
orally throughout the crop season next
year, ''weH scattered" And while
there IS a tendency on the part of
some people to make fun Of all kinds |
of professional Projectors, our hat goes
off to Prof Marsh if he has the dope |
mixed so that it will take.

VOX POPULI.
DECISION OF COURT IN
FAVOR OYSTER INDUSTRY

Tallahassee, Dec. Il, 1914.
Editor Pensacola Journal.
In reading your most excellent paper
a few days ago, took note of the
article regarding the decision of Judge
Wolfe, copied from the Apalachicola
Times. You will note the heading is
somewhat misleading In as much as
you say: The County Commissioners
had no authority to make certain ap-
propriation,F' while the article says he
decided they had. In order that you
may make new matter out of the item
am giving you some data on the case
as follows:
The State Shell Fish Law provides
that the county commissioners Of the
various counties in the state Of Florida
may appropriate and expend such
sums of money as they may deem
proper for the purpose of planting or
transplanting oyster shell or cultch,
out of any sum in the county treasury
not otherwise appropriated.
The county commissioners of Frank
lin county decided that it would be
wise thing to do and they appro-
priated the sum of $4,000 with which
to replant the depleted oyster beds of
that county. The replanting was COM
menced under special contract when
an injunction was granted by Judge
Malone. restraining the county COM
missioners from issuing warrants in
payment of bills for the work. Final
arguments in the case were made be-
fore Judge Wolfe, account of the pro-
longed absence of Judge Malone from
the circuit. Judge Wolfe very wisely
dissolved the injunction and the county
commissioners are now permitted to
proceed with the good work under
taken by them.
This is the first test the law has
had before the courts as to its con-
and in a victory for the
Shell Fish Commission of Florida as
this point was raised.
