Splendid Training
Ground for Men.

In undertaking a campaign for the
Y. M. C. A. of Pensacola, the Rotary
Club has taken a step forward that
can lead only to good results. Since
its organization the Rotary Club has
interested itself in projects and enter
prises which have been beneficial to
the city, but nothing undertaken by
this organization has been of greater
importance or calculated to accom-
plish more lasting good than the
campaign just launched in the inter-
est of the Y. M. G. A.
Many of the men who now form
the Rotary Club were lads when the
Z. M. c. A. was inaugurated here.
They are young enough to fully APP
preciate its benefits, and the good in
fuences which it has thrown about
the youth of the town. An influence,
however, which is not confined to the
younger generation, but which is
exerted whoIesomely upon the entire
community.
Pensacola's Y. NJ. C. A. is one of
its most successful and most inpor-
tant institutions. 1t pays back into
the community life every dollar in
vested in it, and more than liquidates
the debt.
To produce strong, virile, moral
men a community must start with
strong, virile, moral boys. The Y. NJ.
G. A. is a splendid training ground of
both.

Show Your Interest
In Practical Wav.

1t is not often that The Journal
lends its columns to the endorsement
OF any special amusement or enter
talnment. But in commencing the
men who are back of the Ministries
to be given for the Carnival Plum
makers Association, The Journal
feels that it does not err on the side
of bad taste.
Each year the men who make up
these organizations spend much valu-
able time, energy, effort and some
times money, that they must take
from their reserve fund-time and
effort from social and business life
in order that success may be made
Of the Pensacola Carnival.
Everybody in Pensacola cannot act.
Everybody in the city cannot give
time to organizing such work, and
few have much money to give. But
there are few in the city who cannot
afford a ticket to the minstrel show.
If everybody in Pensacola who can
afford to do SO would buy ticket to
the Carnival Phunmakers' Minstrel
each would have part in the Carni-
val success. If you think the Carni-
val helps the town, show your appre-
citation of the efforts of these men in
a practical way.

Pensacola and It's
Centennial Celebration.

Pensacola has entered upon new
era. But in looking forward to the
great future which is already toucl.-
ing the present with the golden wand
of a dawning brightness, the past that
has been the parent of both today and
tomorrow, must not be forgotten.
Pensacola is not only the oldest city
In the United States claim which
has long ago been proven, in spite of
some dissenting chroniclers of Flor
ida-Pensacola is the most interest
ing city from a historic standpoint.
The legislature of 1915 passed o
resolution authorizing the governor
to appoint five commissioners from
she state at large to confer with the
commissioners from the city of Pen
sacola, and committee representing
the people of this city and other cities
and counties of West Florida for the
purpose of @ascertaining and deter
mining and reporting at its next ses-
sion the manner and means in and
by which the state can most appro-
priately lend its aid and cooperation
to the city Of Pensacola in the hold
ing Of an exposition in the year 1919
or 1921, for the purpose of commence
rating and celebrating the -cession Of
Florida to the United States"
Senator. John B. Jones, in the reso-
luton that was presented said that
"the city of Pensacola and its vicin-
tiles were the scene of the greatest
events which led to the cession of
Florida by Spain to the United
States"
In a recent article appearing in The
Journal Mr.. r. Pope Reese stressed
the Importance Of marking the his
toric spots in and around Pensacola
with marble tablets, properly in
scribed, and commended to the Civic
League or some other public spirited
organization the work of thus pre-
serving in the memory of native PEN
saoolians, the landmarks Of their
home city, and of placing before
strangers and newcomers to Pensa-
cola the places of historic associa-
ton
Mr.. Reese proposed a fund to
finance this work, contributing as the
nucleus for the work, the sum of ten
dollars. The Journal believes that
this work would not only be a means
of properly preserving the traditions
of the city, but that it would arouse
an interest and keep in mind the work
so necessary, IL Pensacola is to have
O centennial celebration of any mag
nitude. Such celebrations are not the
accomplishment Of day, they are the
work of many months. Not only are
means TO be raised, plans of work are
to be mapped out, and basis of OPP
Grafton devised, If such work is to
be carried to successful conclusion.
The marking Of spots made inter
esting and sacred by deeds of valor
and events of interest in the past,
would be an important beginning OF
the movement towards the ultimate
celebration to commemorate the
splendid part that Pensacola and
West Florida have taken in making
state history.
