Facts About Mortality
Of American Babies

Three hundred thousand American ba-
bies die every year before they are one year
old AT least 10000 of these could be saved
under proper methods.
One hundred and twenty-four out OF
every 1000 babies die in steel-making and
coal-mining towns as against 81 out of each
1000 in suburban residential sections
Even greater contrasts prevail between
the death rate in the congested parts of big
cities and the choicest residential districs
In New Zealand, where babies are cared
for more scientifically than in any other
place in the world, the death rate is but 80
in every thousand; there being loss there
of but 2 to our s.
No concerted action by us as a nation
at-large has yet been taken to prevent these
inroads into our next generation. BABY
Week, to be conducted nationally during
the week of March by Uncle Sam, under
the direction of Miss Julia Lathrop, will be
the first of such recognition of this neces-
sity of conserving our infant life.
We spent more on battleships and pigs
than we do on babies. The figures have been
often quoted. Many congressman fought
an extra appropriation of S25, 900 to collect
statistics on infant mortality, while voting
for many times that amount to cure hog
cholera.

those who pay their taxes indirectly
than the nomination and election of a
commissioner in succession to the
commissioner whose term expires in
June; nothing could more vitality af-
feet the city's present and future eff
forts to reach the goal of its ambit-
ion to shine as one of the particular
stars in that armament Of progress
sive, prosperous cities which now il
lumines the horizon of the entire
Southland.
Never in Pensacola's history as an
incorporated community, has a docu-
ment so fraught with import to all of
the people, been submitted to the con-
sideration Of its citizenship, as will
the report Of Auditor Hagerman
prove, when it has reached the peo-
pie. It's cold, impartial, impersonal
details, will stand for themselves, and
with these details before them-de-
tails which are indubitable in their
nature and substance, because they
are a compilation of facts, revealed
by the city's records-that element of
Pensacols's citizenship whose patriot
ism and civic pride raises them above
the small, the nasty, the sordid, con
siderations Of political expediency
may exercise their suffrage rights
with intelligence, plus a due regard
for the city's best interests.
Not only should the city committee
defer the date Of the primary until
at the earliest, the early days Of May
but it should demand of the commits
sioners that an entirely new registra-
ton of the voters Of the city should
be provided. The latter, in order tt
obviate the possibility Of a recurrence
Of the scandalous manipulations Of
the registration which have occurred
in the city in the last three years.

Two Ways of Talking
To Strangers

A representative of The Journal staff on
an East Hill car yesterday was an t1nwtll-
ing listener, while one Of the worst kind OF
Pensacola knockers got in his work. The
man holds an important position, which,
while subordinate, yet depends very large
~ on patronage of visitors to the city, as
no other business in the city reaps greater
benefits from those who come to the city
during the winter season Yet in short
conversation with absolute strangers, who
had lust arrived and were leaving last night
on the evening train for New Orleans, this
man, in the most careless way, gave these
people the impression that yesterdays grey
day was typical of Florida weather; that
the view from the car lines could give one
an adequate impression of the town; that
''he didn't take much stock in the carnival,
and in fact he put the worst possible face on
every side Of life in the city.
It was with a feeling of much satisfaction
that The Journal representative replied to
a question put to him, and thus was given
an opportunity to do what he could to cor
rect the very wrong and unfair impression
given to the stranger.
In pointing out that the day was unusual
w grey, and that the winter had been open
anu QG1gIllIul, that IIlC #DCSl view III IltC
city could not be secured from an East Hill
car line that the carnival was as yet hardly
under way; that the aviation station, the
forts, the bayshore, and other points of in
terest were worth remaining over to see;
and that the best way to get acquainted
with Pensacola, if one cannot remain for
visit, is to read the public prints of the day,
where this city is given more unsolicited
advertising than any other city in the
South, the representative felt that he had
partially corrected the wrong impression
made on the mind of the visitor to the city.
The fact that this visitor would not leave
Pensacola tonight to repeat the idle com
ment of an irresponsible employee without
having also received afew facts calling at
tention to Pensacola's many advantages,
was some satisfaction. But the fact remains
that bad first impression is hard to oblit-
crate. People who can do nothing for the
city that gives them their daily bread, but
to depreciate it to every passing stranger,
should change their place Of residence.

THINKS PRIMARY SHOULD
BE AT A LATER DATE

Editor Pensacola Journal:
I note in the news columns of The
Journal of yesterday that the City
Democratic Executive Committee has
called primary election for the NOM
ination of candidate for city COM
missioner to succeed Commissioner
Greenhut, to be held on April II,
proximo; also that the committee is
asking the commissioners to open the
registration books for the registration
of presently unqualified electors, until
April 3, proximo.
1t occurs to me, in view Of all Of
the circumstances in the case, that the
committee has set date altogether
too early for the primary; also that
insufficient consideration has been
given to the question of registration
and altogether too brief a period
allotted for proper registration.
The committee evidently has over
looked the fact that a thorough and
exhaustive audit of every department
of the city government, by a special
examiner of public accounts for the
state, has been in progress since last
October, and that before the people
are called upon to determine whether
the present incumbent of the commits
sionership which expires next June,
is to be retained in office, or another
selected in his place, they are en-
titled to have the result of this audit
before them, with a reasonable time
in which to study and digest same.
This, they will not have If the date of
the primary is not deferred by the
committee.
am in position to know that the
audit above referred to has been COM
pleted and the result of same is now
being put into proper form of report
to the governor. This detail will be
completed in all likelihood, by the end
of the present week. Under the law,
this report, which will cover every
detail of the conduct of the city gov
eminent, supplemented by an ex-
haustive analysis of all of these de-
tails, must be submitted to the gov
ernor, who in turn must order its pub
lication in one of the local papers for
the information Of the citizenship of
the city, before the people have ac-
cess to its contents.
Whether or not the governor will
feel it incumbent upon himself to
study and digest the details of the re-
port, is of course predetermined; but
4 if he does, not less than two weeks
will of necessity be consumed in this
/ process. If this is done and the re-
port Immediately thereafter is return
ed here for publication, another week,
at least, must elapse before its publ
cation, for the reason, that owing to
the volume of the report and the fact
that this volume is principally made
up of figures to be published in tabu-
lar form, neither of the local papers
could possibly get it into type for pub
LEGATION in period under a week.
Thus, if Auditor Hagerman gets
his report into the hands of the gov
ernor by the early days of next week
practically all of the present month
viii have expired before the citizens
and voters of the city viii have access
! to the report, for study and digest
ion.

FRIDAY. MARCH .. 1915.
Pensacola Citizens Will Be
Asked to Donate 81, 900 Today


Today every director of the carnival as
ISOLATION will join in movement to raise
one thousand dollars for the expenses of
the carnival They will visit the merchants
of the city and others and ask for assist
ance in the work they are doing for Pensa-
cola
This is not pleasant duty. It is no more
their carnival than it is yours They have
already given a great deal of their time and
their own money to this movement It is
your obligation to help them, if you believe
in Pensacola.
Never before has this city had such an
opportunity to demonstrate the advantages
of Pensacola, as it has today The carnival
has never before been staged in just the
way it is staged this year. The carnival pa
rades will be the most beautiful ever given
in the South, and will show to wonderful
advantage those facts which are placing
Pensacola before the eyes of the world at
this time.
The magnificent parade depicting scenes
from Pensacola's past will be but one of
the many features of the carnival which
will be of interest to visitors in the city.
The ships in the harbor, the aviation school
and the flights made by Uncle Sans aero
nauts, the midway and the carnival balls,
the Jackies and the Phunnakers, all of
these have gone to advertise to the world
the carnival of 1916.
The carnival is in the air, the people are
pouring in on every train, and there are ex-
penses to be met. There is money enough
to meet these expenses for never before in
the social history of the city has there been
more entertaining than this winter. There
is money enough for the pleasures and the
comforts of life. If each person who is able
to do so would contribute as literally as
possible to the cause the amount would be
raised in very short time
The celebration is going to be one worthy
of the times and the town.
The directors of the carnival association
are making an earnest effort to put on a
carnival which will be a credit to the city,
and they deserve the cooperation of every
citizen.
This celebration is not for individuals. 1t
IS tor Pensacola. No one has right to take
any part at all IN the fun who does not con-
tribute to It's success in some way. The di-
rectors are making sacrifices to put on this
big event, and while some mistakes may
have been made, yet every effort has been
put forth with the intention of helping Pen
sacola.
The carnival association has only the
power to present the carnival features Il
IS your part to make its success. The week
OF festivities will be safeguarded through
the best of police surveillance. Of this the
association has been assured.
Let us all work, then, for Mardi Gras
celebration full of fun Let each one re.
solve to help keep order by being orderly
himself, and let everyone who can possibly
do SO, contribute in some way to the carni
val Of 1916, SO that it may go down in loca
history as the best that Pensacola has ever
had
