Judging from the reports that
have been sent out, The Panama
Pacific Exposition at San Francisco
Is a success in every way. 1t was
announced last winter by some Of
the leading periodicals of the coun-
try that on account OF the war the
foreign part of the Exposition
would be greatly lowered from
what it was ut the previous c3t-
positions. But the European ma
tons are making good regardless
OF the contentious at home.
After we elect a Republican
President and Congress in
1916 it will take one year to
clean up the idle factories
and pass a tariff law that
protects our home industries
and labor. 1t will take US
another year to get the
country back to where it
was when Wilson was elected
But when the Grand Old
Party takes hold Of the rcins
the wheels of progress begin
to move forward with an
cyer-increasing speed.
Little Mary, who often
appears in Lippincots's Mag
azine, had been sent to
the store to get some fly
paper. She was II long time
in returning, and her moth
er began to feel anxious.

yet he has not come into his own.
In his last issue he says that al
though his paper has been doing
all in its power to boost Crestview
and Okaloosa county" for six weeks
receipts have been below disburse-
ments. ''Bill' states that the total
of his receipts has been 1926,
while his expenditures have amount
ed to 1921. All of this amount"
says BILL" except the $40 for pa
per. has been turned loose in Crest
view and distributed among the
business houses generally" What
Editor Mapoles says in this regard
is true of all newspapers. All of the
money they spend, except what goes
for paper and ink, remains in the
community.
Though "Bill' has not yet hit
the smooth road to prosperity the
chances seem good that he will
soon. Okaloosa is young yet and
when everything gets organized the
county paper will doubtless be ap-
preciated and supported as it de-
Pensacola News.

THE CIRCUS AND BOOZE

circus. 1--WE noticed the difference
in Missouri; always the days re-
ceipts were better in a town that
had gone dry under local option than
in town where saloons were open.
And business is better in Kansas
than it was in Missouri
'Let me give you an example. We
showed in Charlottesville, Ind, this
summer, and that town is dry. 1t
was dry in more ways than one this
year, for the rains were scarce and
crops had and hard times apparently
pushing on. Yet we showed to ca
,, pacity crowds. A few days later we
pulled into Shelbyville, Ind. where
the streets are lined with open sa-
! looms. Rains had been plentiful in
this region, crops were fine, and
| there was plenty of money. The
streets were crowded with people al

section was delayed by wreck ant
we didn't get our parade on unit
about noon. BY that time many OF
the men had gone into the thirst
parlors and spent their cash ovel
the bar. They didn't have any de

WHAT IS AN EDITORIALa

Probably never before in the his
tory of journalism have editorials
been more widely read. which means,
by the same token, that never be-
fore have newspapers exercised so
wide an influence. The editorial is
an expression Of the newspapers be-
lief or sentiment To be of any
value, it must have behind it the
papers reputation for fearlessness,
truth and unfettered incorruptibility
Without these the influence Of the
editorial is nullified before it reach
es the printing press. The news
papers first duty Is to give the
news. It's second duty is to com
ment on the news-show toward
what end the news is tending,
whether political, educational, social
or religious, crystalize the sentiment
in its particular community in re-
gard to that tendency, and finally, to
give its own honest and unbiased
opinion. The editors duty is sa-
cred one, and he should be fully
alive to it's responsibilities. His
opinion on any subject should be
given only after serious study, but,
when it is given, 1t should be frank
and above board. No one else is
bound to think as the editor thinks,
but the editors opinions go down in
black and white and he ought to
have good grounds upon which to
base them. Those reasons. expressed
in the editorial. make it valuable.
In fact, the editorial stands or falls
because of the reasons it sets forth
showing how the editor arrived at
his opinion. The "fgting editor" is
usually q man of deep thought-one
who bases his opinion on solid foun-
datons and is willing afterward to
come into the open and fight for

member that every day of his life
At the end of the first year Jim re-
membered it occasionally. He was
tending bar in one of the island sa-
looms At the end of the second year
he had a hazy recollection. Then he
was doing odd Jobs, in his sober mo-
ments, along the wharf. At the end of
the third year, when he was nothing
but a beachcomber, he remembered
again, this time more clearly.
He remembered it when the month
ly vessel arrived He expected that
it would carry a letter for him. No let
ter had been at the post office; and
yet, when Jim looked up and saw a
young, athletic American, neatly
dressed, with sun helmet and blue
glasses, approaching him. he was sure
that he had come upon business con-
| corning Elsie.
Jim looked up lazily from among the
! little group of fellow loafers, and won
dered how any man could find the
| energy to walk at that gait in such a
sun. The young man drew up to the
| group and stopped.
Any of you men know fellow
named Jim Bennett" he inquired.
The man nearest Jim nudged him
lazily; the rest did not even shift their
eyes from the far horizon.
I'm Jim Bennett" said Jim, rising.
He saw the establishment upon the
young mans face.
will you please come over here?'
asked the stranger.
He led him about fifty yards away,
out of the hearing of the others. He
might have saved himself the trouble,
for those who were not asleep in the
shade had already forgotten Jim's ex-
! istence When they stood together up
on the sand the young man took Jim
| by the shoulders and swung him round
facing him.
Are you Jim Bennett or are you
lying" he demanded, in crisp, nervous
accents.
OF an instant jim lell lu" ieoehI
ment that would have come to any nor
NAL man at such treatment, but then
he remembered that he had left his
manhood behind him at the whisky
bar in Tam-tam town.
I'm Jim Bennett" he answered dog
gedly What do you want with me?'
The other breathed hard. Where
do you come FROM" he demanded :"
must have proofs of what you say
Who is the woman to whom you are
engaged"
You mean Miss Dale, | suppose,
drawled Jim, and the other let hi
hands drop from his shoulders anC

far.
Three years ago he had left San
Francisco to make his fortune in the
South seas and come back to marry
Elsie Dale. But her father was many
times a millionaire, and had other
ideas for Elsie's future. Everything
depended, then, on Jim's making good
on the copra trading trip, in which he
had sunk his little capital.
At least, so far as marrying Elsie
was concerned. Her father would
never consent. Jim knew Jack Dale
