If some properly authorized indi-

Making the Best
of Things.

There is a great deal said and
written about making the best of
things. But there is a very great
difference in making the best of
things and putting up with the worst
of things. Very few things are 50
bad that they cannot be bettered, and
there is no especial merit in putting
up with a thing that is bad.
Making the best of a thing is by
no means sitting idly by and letting
bad become worse.
Socrates thought that if all of our
misfortunes were laid in one com
mon heap, whence everyone must
mon heap, whence everyone must take
a portion, each would prefer to take
back his own troubles, rather than tc

thing to bear burden brightly. But
it is a finer thing to make burden

The Effect of War
On immigration.

The effect Of the war on imn1igra-
ton is indicated by the figures given
out at the Bureau of Immigration
for the fiscal year beginning July /,
1914, and covering the eight months
to Feb. /. The total number Of i'm
igrants from all parts of the world
but chiefly from European countries
since the war began, which is practi-
cally for the seven months beginning
Aug. last year and including Feb
ruary, is 173,s61. For the period Au-
gust, 1918, to February, 1914, the i'm
migration was 6Ss,2O6.
The total immigration this fiscal
year is 234, eSs. This is the number
classed as immigrant aliens. In ad-
dition there were admitted s1,044
non-immigrant aliens, making the to.
tai number of aliens admitted BIS, 1882
Against this total must he placed the
number departing immigrant aliens
which, during the eight months, was
312,1s1, leaving as the net number Of
immigrants for the first eight months
of the. present fiscal year the insig'
nihcant grand total Of s,lo1, the
smallest eyer known in the history
of the country.

manipulation become that large buy
ing houses having their headquarters
in Savannah have instructed their
buyers at Pensacola to disregard Sa-
vannah quotations on the pale grades
Of rosins."
1t has been but very short time
since there were complaints from the
southwest that Savannah did not
maintain the official prices on pales
as it should have done, according to
the views there. Now it is condemned
because il does not lower the official
prices Of pales. Evidently those who
may be described as "paleophiles" are
most difficult to satisfy.
AS q matter of fact the Savannah
quotation methods are the same today
as they were last season, as they have
been every day of every season for a
quarter century or longer. The quo
tations committee is composed of two
buyers and two factors, changed
every thirty days. Every day the sales
are posted in full detail on the board,
in the presence of all the buyers, all
the factors, the newspaper represent
atives and others. With these sales
before them, exercising their best
judgment, knowing in general what
the conditions are, the quotations
committee directs what prices shall
be placed upon the board. 1t makes
absolutely no difference to them what
the sales or prices are at Pensacola
Or Jacksonville, or Mobile, or New Or
leans, or New York, or anywhere else.
Each Of those markets is independent,
stands on its own bottom, has its own
quotations committee, and makes up
its own report to the world.
In the case of pale and other
grades, when their receipts are rum
/ ming small daily, the judgment of the
committee prevails. If small sales
are made at prices different from the
quotations already. on the board the
committee decides, in the presence Of
! the assembled trade, whether condi.
tons justify change of quotations
to the prices reported paid for these
/ small lots. Sometimes it changes
sornetimes it waits for a day or tive
i until it is apparent that q change il
/ justified by actual conditions. To say
/ that methods that have been in vogue
for many years, that are used openly
and to the knowledge of the entire
1 trade and the world at large, consti-
tute manipulation" is SO ridiculous
as to be unworthy of attention ex
cept for the fact that some people

/ tions are made and be led to mis-

pressed with how much like the girl

It has been said that every great
war has brought with it hoop skirt

is that many great wars have been
fought when hoop skirts were in
fashion-it would be an Interesting
study to trace the analogy Between
the two. It may be that the ponp
and panoply of war induce dignity
Of mind and a stateIiness Of con-
duct, that hoop skirts seem to TT Or
can it be that the hard times that
wars always bring, have something
to do with TT Can it be that the
manufacturers and the merchants and
the as5iters of fashions put their
heads together, and fashion more
cloth into the gowns and the furbe-
lows, for the sake Of the extra shiIl-
ings?
Whatever it is, the styles are quaint
and not unlovely, and the girls who
wear them are quite as comely as
their mothers and erandnothers
used to be. in their war days, a half
century ago.

Comments on Roberts Cases-12pt
Timely CongratuIation.
The Pensacola Journal does well
to congratulate Santa Rosa county
upon the prompt conviction of the
three white nnurderers who recently
shot to death an old man and his wife
with the hope of getting money con-
cealed in the house. The day these
wretehes are hanged for their crime
will be a red letter day in the his
tory of that's county, for it will be a
practical sermon of the most elo-
quent and convincing character
against crime and in behalf of the
enforcement of law. Good people Of
the worthwhile kind, seeking new
homes, won't locate in a county
where murder goes unpublished and
such horrible wretches as the muir.
derers in this case can escape the
tolls of the law and be permitted to
live. When their vile necks have
ben broken on the gallows, others
of their ilk who can be reached by
no other kind Of argument, will get
it into their vestial brains that
murder doesn't pay and they NIGHT
do well to get some education and
become decent, law-abiding people.
John Stokes, who prosecuted this
case to a successful finish is one Of
the best lawyers in Florida and he
has rendered a service to the whole
State by his good work; also Sheriff
Harvell, Of Santa Rosa county, who
followed up the clews and put the
murderers behind the bars, has shown
himself an efficient officer deserving
of high praise.-Lakeland Telegram
