President Ignores the Bosses;
He Appeals to the People.

president Wilson, in his tour of the states, IS es-
tablshlng precedent in American politics. and IS
thereby not only attracting the attention of the world
but is showing himself be what he has claimed to be-
and was elected to bea representative OF the people
In his advocacy of increased defenses for the
United States President Wilson has not gone to THE
BIG BOSSES who have too often directed the move
ments of the executive heads Of the government, but
he has gone before the people who placed him III Office
and before this tribunal he has placed his case.
Nothing that President Wilson has ever done has
fully shown the wisdom of the and his lit
for the high official position which IS his. The
people of the United States have right to be taken
into the presidents confidence And the other
hand the president the right in feeling the pulse
of the people.
He is the representative of these people, North,
South, East and West, and he has represented them

Germans Elated Over
Capture of the Appanl.

The Germans are elated over the
capture of the British liner Appam,
and well they should be. That such
could be accomplished and the yes
sci taken into Hampton Roads when
all the seas are crowded with Brit
ish war vessels, seems an impossi-
|bility. Yet it has been done by the
prize crew from German warship,
which is still on the high seas de-
stroying British commerce.
So far is now known, not an incl
dent in the whole raid was discredit-
able to German dignity, to German
humanity, to German loyalty to ac-
Ecepted principles of international law.
Persons who had been aboard the
ships sunk were saved and cared for.
When the Appan, on her way from
an African port to London, was cap
tured, the raider herself was SO over
loaded that no course was practicable
save to put a prize crew on the new
capture, and this was done.
Of the successful lodging of British
ships, of the continuous strain of
recognizing humanity's demands to-
ward large numbers of prisoners, and
at the same time maintaining Sc
curity against an outbreak of those
prisoners; of the periIs of the zigzag
voyage of several Thousand miles, the
prize crew or its commander could
best tell. Even landsmen can guess
at them. German seamanship has
made its high record. And, consid-
ering the fact that thirty years ago
nobody thought of the Germans as
maritime nation, the world has a JUS
LITIGATION for its establishment.
Queen Elizabeth's gentlemen adven-
turers never carried through reck-
less exploit with more success.

"ONLY GONE BEFORE"
Though he's gone you'll not forget
him,
In your memory he'll remain;
Though the parting be regretful,
You will some day meet again.
Cast your burden all on Jesus,
Now your heart is scared and sore,
He will guide you to your loved one,
Who has only gone before.
In that haven where the weary
From their toll and sorrow cease;
There he's waiting for your coming,
To enjoy eternal peace.
Then let not your hearts be troubled,
That you see him here no more;
For in Gods own time you'll meet
him,
AS he's only gone before.
You viii miss him, sadly miss him,
There viii be q vacant chair;
But It's God who hath bereft you,
Take it all to Him in prayer. p.
Why this burden be so heavy
Is not for us here to tell;
Let this be your greatest comfort,
That He doeth all things well.
Pray that sometime you will join him,
When the day of life has fed;
And with JOY in heaven to meet him,
Where no farewell tears are shed.
With the angels gently reckoning,
On that bright and shining shore
He with outstretched hands will greet
you,
Where he's only gone before.

Pensaco1a's Celebration
Was a Fitting One.

Regarding 1.-THE recent G. F. & A..
celebration in Pensacola, The Indus
trial Index, published at Columbus,
Ga, says editorially:
Pensacola celebrated most fit
tingly the arrival in that city of the
first train from Birmingham, or
through train, over the new Gulf,
Florida and Alabama Railroad.
Flags were flying, the business
houses were decorated, there was
music by a number of bands, and
a great throng of people, numbering
thousands, witnessed the arrival of
the train and welcomed the distin-
guished passengers which it carried,
including public and railway officials
and business men of prominence.
Following the arrival of the train,
there was great parade, led by
troops stationed at Fort Barancas and
sailors from various crafts in Pensa-
cola's harbor. In the evening the
visitors were entertained at a ban
quet.
1t was a notable celebration, and
one of unusual character in some re-
spects. Pensacola paid tribute to a
achievement-the building of a new
railroad to a connection with the
Southern Railway that gives the
Deep Water port another through
line of railway.
Pensacola. with its great port, is
a city Of magnificent possibilities
and prospects. It has achieved much,
and feels that there is now opening
up for it new era Of achievement.

Ia ALLEcoNESS IN BREAD
DISTRIBUTION SHOULD CEASE
Editor Pensacola Journal.
Not so very long ago this parti-
cular habitat of man was aroused to
enthusiasm upon the subject of COM
batting tuberculosis by lectures and
stereopticon exhibits. The result of
that cogitation Of hygienic principles
was the cleaning UP of a few square
feet of several back yards, the trans
fer Of trash piles from one lot corner
to another, reasons and bales of good
resolutions respecting domestic sur
roundings were resoluted. We deter
mined thereafter we'd always expec-
torate in paper handkerchief or
"termatter" can and so forth and so
on, ad libitum, ad infinitum, ad in
sputum all we're headed for health and
happiness.
Like all other matters designed for
the perfecting of our daily lives, en-
thusiasm over humiliation of germs
waned. Our economic mind goes off
at an unexpected tangent at times, as
witness the decree that all of the
steen thousand of Greek purveyors of
fruit shall ornament their fronts with
screens while their rears continue as
repositories of cans, bottles, deceased
felines and general floJsam that no
other created thing than man tolea
rates around its home nest, breeding
winged disease carriers by the mil
lion. Breed 'em at the rear, feed 'em
at the front. That's logic Whitfield to
a fine point.
We hire an inspector to NEEDLE
with the milk bottles and make life
miserable for the producers of lac
teal food, while the builders Of our
bread loaves are permitted their own
devious Cor devilish) way in making,
baking and taking the principal item
of our daily bill of fare.
A visit to some of our bread fac
tories would turn ones digestive or
gans to the point of regurgitation and
ones thoughts back to the bread
mother used to make Few are dis
posed to prowl around a bakery, but
all may observe the criminal care
lessness with which bread is distrib-
uted. Piled like cord wood IN open
wagons which, perchance may have
been the roosting place Of feathered
friends or furred nuisances the night
before; open at the front to clouds
of germ-laden dust, the loaves play
ing tag with the cigarette driver at
every bump-ity-bump over our al
legged paving.
Yea, verify, the screening law
might well be stretched to cover a
loaf and the source thereof. Whether
we believe in the germ theory or not,
all know dirt when we see it and a
person blind in one eye and unable to
see out of the other may perceive
filth in connection with our wheaton
food supply.

Proper Training
for Foreign Trade.

1hS greatest need IN each and
every line of business in the United
States today is the need of trained
men. This is especially true Of for
eign trade" declared DR.. Edward Ew-
ing Pratt last night at New Orleans
in an address before the foreign trade
conference on the subject of educat-
ing men for foreign trade. DR.. Pratt
is chief of the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce and honorary vice
president of the foreign trade confer
ence. IT have canvassed the men
at the head of many of our largest
and most active business establish
ments," he said, "and they invariably
reply that they can not find trained
men for foreign trade"
DR.. Pratt first called attention to
the recognized lack of properly trained
men in this country for carrying on
our rapidly increasing trade with for
eign countries. Then, having estab-
lished the present necessity for such
men, he took up in order the quail
fications they should have. Resource
fitness, adaptabiIity and diplomacy,
he said, are even more important in
for foreign trade than at home, and
they are largely qualities that are
come by naturally, although proper
training is not without its value. But
there are four essentials in the equip
ment of foreign-trade specialist that
can be acquired largely by training.
They are, languages, principles of
business, technical knowledge of for
eign trade and thorough knowledge
of ones own business.
A knowledge of the language of the
country IN which a man is to travel
and sell goods is of the first impor-
lance. "But," declared DIR. Pratt, gin
a very few institutions is anything
akin to commercial language taught.
Seldom is the graduate able to express
himself unhaltingly in the language
in which he has devoted so much time.
The school should do much better than
they are doing. The aim in language
study should be to talk in language"
"The study of language can not be-
gin too early" it was stated, "but
training in the principles of business,
in economics, in industrial organiza-
ton, can scarcely be undertaken be-
fore college. A man must have
reached a certain maturity of mind
and have acquired a fairly wide per-
sonal experience before he can really
comprehend the significance of such
facts. It is In the college or in the
school of commerce of college grade
that real training in the bigger as
poets of business can be given. The
aim of this kind of educational work
should be to provide man with a
knowledge of the economic bases of
business life. It succeeds when it
gives man solid foundation on
which he can build more specialized
superstTueture.
$50 far as technical knowledge of
foreign trade is concerned, the col
Ieges can do little. The school of
commerce is in rather better posi-
ton. Every school of commerce
should have a highly organized and
specialized course looking toward
foreign trade. Such course should
begin in the first year and continue
to the finish. The actual details of
foreign trade practice must be left
largely to the individual employer.
The manufacturer, exporter, or
banker can train his men more effec-
lively than any outsider"

A Splendid Spirit
Of Co Operation.

Two or three days ago, the pub
Lefty committee of the Pensacola
Carnival association wrote letters to
the papers throughout West Florida
and South Alabama relative to this
years Mardi Gras celebration, asking
their cooperation in making this the
best one ever held here. The result
was most gratifying and showed a
rare spirit of cooperation and good
win.
Nearly all of the papers to whom
letters were written have already re-
sponded and all of them contain as
surances that they are interested in
the success Of the 1916 Mardi Gras
and that they will do all they can in
the way of boosting and helping to
make it one long to be remembered.
The very tone of the letters re-
ceived from the press of West Flor
ida and South Alabama indicate that
the makers of the newspapers are in
hearty sympathy with Pensacola, not
only as regards the carnival, but that
they may be counted in on anything
that tends to promote the welfare Of
the Deep Water City. Their express
sions reveal the fact that the mould
ers and refIectors of public opinion
and sentiment In this territory re-
gard Pensacola as their seaport town
and realize that the making of a
great city here means the making and
developing of a great West Florida
and South Alabama.
In addition to saying that they will
devote their efforts and space in their
papers to helping Pensacola properly
celebrate the Mardi Gras season,
many of the editors state that they
will be here to personally enjoy the
carnival and contribute to its success.
This is the right spirit and will
do more toward establishing and
maintaining the proper relations be-
tween Pensacola and her adjacent ter
ritory than anything else could. The
newspapers of community, as rule,
reflect the sentiment of the people Of
that community, and, If this be true,
Pensacola, West Florida and South
Alabama are certainly working with
a unity of purpose as never before.
Such a manifestation of cooperation
and harmony is sure to bear fruit.
