We note that some newspapers are
taking the position that every coun-
~ should endeavor to establish a
system Of good roads within iself,
and entirely ignore the great main
highway that it is designed shall
come down through the State. The
Telegram does not believe this idea
is the best and broadcast. A system
of good roads within each county is
very much to be desired; but there
is nothing in such a system incon.
sistent with making portion of il
form link of the Big highway We
can't live to ourselves alone, ant
we want this great road to ira
verse our county, and allow travel
lers over it the privilege Of seeing
our splendid city.

THE SINKING OF THE LUSITANIA

This nation Is profoundly shocked
by the news told in the dispatches
today OF the great Lusitania trag-
edy. in which the lives OF l.500 in
noeent and unoffending persons
were sacrificed 10 the fiendish fury
of war The great conflict that for
many months has been raging in
Europe doubtless has .iven birth 10
tragedies OF greater magnitude. in
volving far greater numbers: but no
occurrence OF the war has come so
directly home 10 the American peo-
pie and SO deeply affected them
Many Of the victims OF this war hor-
ror were people Of our own blood
and clan: some OF them by their
prominence in various walks OF life
had made their names household
words throughout the land. and they
seem to the average citizen almost
as acquaintance All OF them were
peacefully and inofeusivelN- pnrsu-
ing their legitimate missions or avo-
cations. Without proyocaton or eX-
cuse they were hurled into eternity.
The murder of these innocent peo-
pie was Observation-Disclosures
and cruelty plotted
The eNi.encies of warfare demand
much that makes humanity shud-
der. But il does not demand a
fendish, piratical warfare on limo
cent and helpless women and chill
dren of a neutral nation.
Whatever may be the course of
action taken BIZ our government,
this incident will destroy the last
vestige of sympathy for Germany on
the part OF the American people.
From all over this nation there will
come a demand for reprisal Yet
passion and haste should not rule
The president asks the people to re-
serve their Judgment pending an in

Investigation can ever establish JUS

murder; yet all good citizens should

THE BRAvEsT BATTLE.

The bravest battle that ever was
fought,
Shall I tell you where and when?
On the maps of the world you will
find it not;
It was fought by the mothers of
men.
Nay, not with cannon or battle shot,
With sword or noble pen;
Nay, not with the eloquent words, or
thought,
From the mouths of wonderful men,
But deep IN walled-up woman's
heart
Of woman that would not yield;
But patiently, silently, bore her part,
Out there in that battle field.
No marshalling troops, no bivouac
song;
No banner to CLEAN and wave;
And, o, these battles they last so
long
From babyhood to the grave!
Yet, faithful still as bride of stars,
She fights in her waIled-up town
Fights on and on in the endless wars
Then silent unseen-goes down.

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

BY ASSOClAIED PRESS.
Philadelphia, Oct. 28.-It was
learned today that a petition for a
writ OF habeas corpus to show cause
why Frederick Herreshoff, golf play
er, and a member of prominent New
York family is being held illegally
and deprived of his liberty in a sani-
tarium at Gladwyn, Montgomery
county" has been allowed by Judge
Patterson in common pleas. The pc
tition will be argued as soon as Her
reshoff's impaired nervous condition
will permit his appearance.
Judge Patterson allowed the petit
ton week ago. 1t was learned that
Mr.. Herreshoff managed to escape
from New York being committed to
an institution at Hastings-on-the-
Hudson at the instance of his father,
J. B. Francis Herreshoff.
Young Herreshoff has been in the
sanitarium two weeks.

CEREUS GROWS WILD
IN FLORIDA.

In speaking of a night blooming
cereus in Pensacola, The Journal of
that city says: eff anything SO pure
ly white and so exquisitely beautiful
could be called gorgeous, surely it
would be the night blooming cereus.
It seems to breathe of things colorful
and exotic, in spite of its wonderful
wilderness and its perfect petals, set
so formally on the red and brown
stem. Perhaps it is the flame of the
cut, the slow unfolding of heavy per-
fume, but the wonderful bloom seems
to breathe of the Orient and is sug-
gestive Of radiant nights throbbing
with music" These wonderful plants
grow wild in the hammocks of Flor
ida, and because they are beautiful

HALLOWEEN PARTY FOR
SCHOOL CHILDREN.

The Halloween party to be given
on Friday evening at the Armory hall
by Miss Ada White and a number of
the public school children, for the Doll
and Toy Fund, has aroused a great
deal of interest. The Journal has
been asked to re-publish the Hal
lowe'en ideas written up several
weeks ago in this department, which
follow:
Dye or paint the ends of the straws
In the old broom carried by the witch
so they will be varicolored. Here Z
bunch of red straws, there a bunch of
yellow, blue, black, white, green OF
purple. Blindfold the guests in turn
and let each one pluck straw from
the magic broom. When all are pro-
vided with straws let the witch mum
bic or shrilly cackle the following:
If your straw is bright and red
Blessing shall be on your head,
Yours will be a happy marriage,
And you'll ride in a fine carriage,
But to make the spell come true
You this magic gum must chew.
She gives each one who has drawn

a red straw a stick of gum. The gum
has been rubbed with a little quinine
and the faces made by the chewers
will furnish much fun for the rest.
If you've drawn straw Of blue,
Sadness soon will come To you,
Unless on hands and knees you crawl
Thrice around this ghostly hall,
That alone will break the spell
And bring you happiness as well. Z
The holders of the blue straws
crawl around as directed. Then the
witch continues:
Golden yellow straws mean wealth,
Success in business perfect health;
But to make the charm your own
Seven times you must heave groan,
And each groan must different be,
From all the rest, Tee hee, Tee hee!
After the grooming the witch says:
II the straw you hold is green,
You'll wed one you've not yet seen
Some one handsome, bright and great
Who owns a lot of real estate,
But jealousy will cause you harm
Unless you drink this liquid charm.
She gives each drop of tobasco
sauce. Then she continues:
If your straw is inlzy black,
Pain and trouble you'll not lack
Unless the amulet you wear
All the evening, then I'll swear
All your woes will turn to fun,
All next year, Now haste to me,
I'll pin it on so all may see.
She pins big red paper circle
bearing goose cut from white paper

The Halloween party to given this
evening at the Armory hall promises
to be a very wonderful successful
deed it cannot fail to be, for the boys
and girls of Pensacola are giving it,
and when you get them to work for
any cause its success is well assured.
Halloween parties and secrecy go
hand in hand, so it is not possible
to tell of all the wonderful things
that are planned but there are whis-
pers of witches and Jack o. Lanterns
and some very funny games.
The fund that is raised through
this entertainment will go to the St
Nicholas Doll and Toy Fund, which
is raised each year for Christmas
work.

lowe'en party and associated with
them in the work are Mrs. C. M. Will

BUT ONE LIFE.

| have but one life to live,
'Tis not the highest in Life
To make Living,
How much more Glorious
To make Alive
Those that are Dead,
And who would remain Dead,
Did not give my Life for their Lives
But who through my Life laid down,
Shall Live forever.

Because He laid down His life for US,
And we ought to lay down
