My friend:
| take pleasure in presenting to you the
first prize, which has been awarded under
the terms Of the essay contest on alcoholism
1t is gratifying to me that you have 50
GOOD an understanding Of the evil effects OF
alcohol and the Importance OF preventing
it's introduction, sale or use among Indians
It has now come about that there is a
worldwide campaign against the liquor
traffic, not only from moral point OF view
but in recent years it has become essentially
an economic question and it's Punishment is
advocated from the business office as
strenuously as from the pulpit; more re-
Gently the use Of intoxicants has been offl-
cially denounced by many of the great
European governments as destructive to
military discipline and efficiency.
Generally throughout tie Indian country
there has been splendid cooperation III our
efforts to free the Indian from the mal1gn
influence and destructive effects of whiskey.
| am greatly pleased with the helpful
spirit manifested among adult Indians and
for the intelligent and sympathetic response
from the Indian schools, as exempllfied IN
this contest Your friend
Signed CATO SELLS,

Congress on Child Poverty, which
will be held under the auspices of
the Panama Pacific international Ex-
position September 81 and 22.
The leading figures at the congress
and, in fact, its organizer, is Judge
Henry Neil, nationally known as the
father of mothers pensions" sys-
TEN now in effect in twenty-five
states. Judge Neil has travelled
throughout the western states in the
interest of the coming gathering OF
philanthropists, social service and
child welfare workers. He expects
large attendance of those who are
interested in the care of orphans and
dependent mothers with children and
who are working to prevent them
becoming direct state charges.
"If we could get taxpayers to real
ize the tremendous expense caused
by child poverty they will abolish
child poverty by seeing that every
boy and girl has proper care regard
less of the vice or virtue of the par
ent or parents" said Judge Neil
Continuing he said: Society does
not prevent child from going to
school because his father is bad or
Indifferent or inefficient. Then why
punish child by neglect, as is done
in the majority of our states today?
Why ruin the child for the shortcom-

Cave Trip Very

Mr.. and Mrs. c. B. Lamkin, H. h.
Lamkin and Mrs. E. H. Bush en-
joyed pleasant trip to Josephine
caves last week. They left here
Thursday morning and camped at
the Grants Pass Commercial Club
camp at the foot of the ten-mile
trail to the caves that night. At the
camp they found excellent accommo-
dations and are loud In their praise
OF the enterprise Of the Commercial
Club of the Pass city. Prices for
everything were found to be reason
able. Friday morning the party rode
to the caves on horses secured at
the camp, the trip occupying four
hours. After three hours spent in
the caves the party rode back and
drove on in the same evening to Ash
land. The beauties of the trip and
the caves furnish all Of the members
Of the party unending material for
description and praise.

ings of the parent? Nay, save the
child by giving it proper care, and
save the mother, and save the tax
payers who have to foot the burdens
caused by allowing children to grow
up and become state charges"
Judge Neil contends the principle
of mothers pensions is right socially
and morally, because, under its pro-
visions, the mother is allowed enough
money by the state to give her Off
spring maternal care and attention.
Visitors to the congress will be &C
corded a splendid opportunity to see

Organized labor has the best of
reasons for favoring the Government
ship purchase bill of an oversee mer-
chant marine-which 1t does.
Those reasons apply with equal
force to the men in the forecastle and
to the licensed navigators and engi-
neers.
Under individual and corporate own
ership, Americas oversee sailors have
been obliged either to quit the sea or
to compete. as to wages and working
and living conditions. with the lower
wage and living standards of both Eu-
rope and Asia. There has been no
production against pauper labor COM
petition" for them, not even the false
pretense OF 1t which tariff protected
industries incorporated in their cam
paign arguments to delude workers
ashore.
Under Government control, Ameri-
can merchants and manufacturers
would be assured of means to get
their goods to foreign customers:
American seamen would be assured
of uniform fair pay and humane treat
ment; the service would call back to
the sea thousands OF competent Of
ficers and tens of thousands of born
sailors who would constitute g. natural
naval reserve, available for instant
enlistment upon the country's war

ships in time of need
When the European war began,
England had 5000 ships in the oversee
trade. Germany 1000. the United States
six
These three are the worlds great
est exporters and importers, the chief
users of the seas.
Had the American Congress, during
nearly q third OF century last past.
deliberately and reasonably schemed
to destroy this countrys once great
merchant marine service. 50 that Eu-
ropeans might monopolize 1t for their
profit. the Congress could hardly
have achieved that end more COM
pletely than 1t did by legislation which
may charitably be described. in the
main, as merely dunderheaded.
President Wilson recognizes what
every American navigating officer has
long known, namely. that there are
but two ways in which this country
can reacquire maritime service COM
petent to carry Americas foreign
trade. and that but one of these two
ways Is practicable. One way Is to pay
subsidies to private ship owners, and
public sentiment has decisively in
4.
owners would profit, but the country's
seamen would gain no betterment of
their condition, and the ships flying
our flag to get the subsidies would
continue to be manned mainly by for
eigners owing allegiance to other ma
tions.
The one practicable way TO estab-
lish a competent American merchant
marine, able to sustain the comped-
ton OF foreign services. Is to establish
1t under Government ownership and
operation, as the national administra
ton proposes. What the privately
owned and sometimes subsidized for
eign services pay out In profits the
American Governmental owned service
can pay out in higher wages: thus
the American marine can compete as
to rates with foreign services and
can at the same time enlist American
officers and sailors for all of it's ships
and maintain the higher American
wage and living standards upon those
ships.
Do Americans wish to be crowded
off the seas? To leave their foreign
commerce at the mercy Of foreign
owners? Gov. Colquitt of Texas de-
nounces the administrations plan for
Government ships. Would his cotton
growing constituents be glad to have
Government ships now available to
carry their cotton to Germany at $3.50
a bale? Or are they so enamored of
private ownership that they would
rather pay the current rate of $12 to
SIS a bale to escape the menace" Of
Government ownership?
Every American interest-manu-
facturer, merchant, farmer and wage
earner-has q vital interest in the
success Of the Presidents shipping
plan.

Republican Party
Employs Usual Tactics.

The republican party has always
been a great poser in the limelight
as the protector Of American indus
tries, but ia the time Of national crisis
It has invariaaly taken the role OF
obstructor.
A glarlng instance OF this is in con-
nection with the shipping bin now
before congress. which was framed as
part OF the administration program to
relieve the country Of some OF the
hardships that have been imposed by
the war in Europe. 1t is conceded that
drastic action is necessary II the pro-
ducts of this country are to be enabled
to reach the manufacturing cities OF
other parts Of the world. Ships are
necessary, and they are not available.
the few that still have the freedom Of
the seas being owned principally by
the railroads and the corporate inter-
ests which demand extortionate rates
for the handling Of every article of
commerce
Government control Of the ocean
carrying trade Of this country Is one
solution OF the problem, and while
the republicans are fighting the plan.
they have failed to offer any other
solution. In fact the fight, thus far.
seems to be dictated solely by desire
to aid the great flnanclers who contri-
butte so literally to the republican
slush fund
The low price OF cotton in the south
today is due principally to the fact
that ships cannot % secured to carry
the staple abroad. The price OF wheat.
quoted today higher than in forty
years, is due in measure to the
price offered in Europe because of
it's scarcity. while the granaries of
this country are filled to overlooking.
We have too much wheat and Europe
has none. and the facilities for secur-
ing supply in Europe are extremely
meagre. With adequate transportation
AclAAAAACS 6N1AAtbhAC LIE SPCGuAkAL1Nb LG1L-
ures would be removed to great ex-
tent from the wheat market and while
prices would naturally be higher than
in time Of peace, they would not reach
a figure that borders upon extortion.
Other high prices are because OF Sim
liar conditions.
The disciples Of the G.. o. p. are
fooling nobody by strict adherence to
the trust propaganda that has char
acterized that party for generation.
They are making no effort to relieve
the situation but on the contrary COM
placently obstruct legislation framed
for the public veal and devote their
energies to furthering the flow Of dol
lars into the golfers OF the trusts.
Obstruction win be boomerang thar
win return to smite the thrower at
the polls in the fall of 1915.

SOME MORE SUGGESTIONS
BY GILFILLAN SCOTT

Editor Pensacola Journal.
Advantage should be taken OF the
coming of the feet Of submarines, tor
pedo fiotillas, mine layers and aero
planes to advertise and make business
for Pensacola.
Advertisements should appear In
newspapers of the North, East and
West booming the event as an attrac-
ton for tourists, which 1t most GER
tainly will be.
The railroads should be asked to
run weekly cheap excursions and to
advertize them all along their lines.
AS the fleet starts South next week
and viii lspend three months here the
opportunity should be made the most
Of to boost Pensacola, to fill tbs city
with tourists looking for novelty. and
to bring business to merchants, ho-
tells and rooming houses.
