THE SCRATCH PAD
By THOMAS EWING DABNEY.

The way the republicans are shout
ing for war now, makes one think
that had Hughes been president, no
would have precipitated war with
Carranza that would be known in his
tory as the Battle of the Boards"
Let us hope that the Greek named
Porous" who enlisted in Mobile will
not have to go to war, lest some pre-
else Mexican decides to make him live
up to his name and shoot him full
of holes.
Solomon could afford to have a
thousand wives. In those days there
were no automobiles, vacation trips, or
movie theaters; and it is notorious
that the women went bareheaded.
Now watch the republicans, who
last week were frothing at the mouth,
because of a possible war with Mexico,
change faces and shout the battle cry
of the political plum tree.
Teddy offered to lead an army into
Mexico; but if little political fight
could send him to the hospital, we fail
to see what use he could be on a
battlefield.

VOX POPULI
PLANT IS
PENSACOLA'S NEED

Editor of The Journl:
Allow a friendly suggestion. A
stoelz-raising conference was held at
Moultre, Ca, June 81 and 18th. I'm
doubtedly some reference will be
made of it in the Journal. A mere
mention should not be considered suf-
ficient, for the reason that any ma
terial advancement that Pensacola
will ever make must start from the
establishment of cold storage ware
house where country produce incIud-
ing meats, can be stored until disposed
of. This would soon develop into a
packing plant, and when that plant
is established under proper manage
ment, nothing can prevent Pensacola
from leaping into the lead of all
| southeastern cities.
1t is plain, therefore, that too much
cannot be said, nor too much printed
about other small towns that have
found the seed of success right in
this same proposition. have worked
| for this thing for several years, and
have presented plans in detail several
| times to Pensacola men who are ac-
copied leaders, showing how start
could be made, if necessary in a small
| way, with almost no cash outlay. AL

dorsement of some public-spiritet

MORAL: FORGET IT.

Maybe you're discouraged tonight
And, of course, you look outside your
self for the cause. The boss has been
grouchy; or you have had to do yourself
what boy could have done, only you could
not find the right boy; or it is hot and you
never can stand heat; or your neighbor has
flivver.
And maybe you will now go home and
spread your melancholy over the whole
family. And in half an hour your wife will
be 'in mood" and one of the children will
be crying, and the older boy will be hunting
an excuse to get away from home for the
evening.
And you're sure your Encouragement is
not your own fault But nine times out of
ten it is. You have eaten too much, or have
slept too little, or haven't exercised at all.
Nine times out of ten Encouragement is a
physical reaction and quite within any
mans control-if he will look inward in
stead of outward for the cause.

Reports that representatives of the

the public was concerned neither side
made a move to end the strike.
Fred Merrick, who was held for court
under $4,000 bond on a charge Of incit-

the afternoon. as was Anna Bell, a
strike leader, who had been arrested
for striking an electric company ofiic"
