Mexican War" Nez0S

Men, women and children are dying
of starvation in Zacatecas, according
to an American medical missionary
who has arrived at Ell Paso, Tex, from
Mexico. He said that he examined men
lying in the streets, apparently drunk,
and found them exhausted from the
lack of food.
General Carranza signed decree at
Mexico City prohibiting bull fighting
throughout Mexico. The decree is the
climax of a campaign waged by the
newspaper Ell Universal, which attract
ed wide attention throughout the re-
public.

Babies, and How
Much They Are Worth

Twenty thousand dollars is not
enough to pay the yearly expenses of
three and one half year old boy, according
10 one New York woman; and a college
professor has computed the value of baby
at $50
This wide discrepancy, we are unable
to reconcile without more thoroughly
understanding the facts in the case.
Of course if the first-named baby had
contracted expensive habits, it is very easy
to see that $4,000 would be mere pit
tance in unfolding the dignity of his social
position.
Then again, our professor may have
reached his conclusion after experimental
ton with understood babies
OF course it stands to reason that a
little baby is not worth as much as big
baby Any livestock man will tell you
that.
If that twenty-thousand dollar baby
is worth only ninety dollars to begin with.
any business man will know that the
running expense is out of proportion to
the investment. No infant industry could
succeed with such large overhead.

In Summer Prepare For
The Winter Tourist Trade

Orlando is to have an eighteen hole golf
links. All over the state golf is coming
into its own, the citizens having come to
the realization that golf is one of the prime
necessities of the winter tourist.
Last winter Pensacola was visited by a
greater number of tourists than ever be-
fore in its history, and the golf links of
the Country Club were extremely popular.
Pensacola is to be congratulated upon the
fact that the Country Club has also de-
cided upan an eighteen hole golf course, to
be in readiness for play the com ng winter.
While the Country Club goh links are
primarily for the use and recreation of club
members, it is also one of Pensacola's win
ter assets, and great drawing card for
tourists. 1t is estimated that more than
thirty million dollars was spent in Florida
last winter by tourists.
Many persons in Florida, and particu-
larly in the western part of the state, look
upon the tourist trade as of little impor-
tance But it was the tourist trade which
made California. And it was Henry M
F1agler, Florida tourist, who expended
more than seventy-fve million dollars in
the development of South Florida.
Mrs Potter Palmer became enamored
of the west coast of Florida, and she and
her family now own nearly 100000 acres
of Florida lands, which are being develop
ed for colonization purposes, city building
and resort creating activities.
A winter tourist to Miami is building
a one million dollar winter home
And so the history of the development
OF the state goes.
Pensacola cannot afford to lose sight of
the possibil ties of its tourist trade. The
gulf coast Of West Florida is the most
beautiful in the state, and the climate sur
passes that of any other section of Florida,
because it IS equable and delightful, both
winter and summer.
Pensacola has many advantages to offer
outside capital, but none which compare to
its attractions as a tourist city.
The time to prepare for next winters
tourist trade is now, during the summer
| months. Not next winter, after tourists
have made their plans to visit other South
ern cities.

Rivalry That Is
a Sign of Prosperity

Pensacola and Jacksonville may be
rivals now to get ahead at the expense of
each other, but this will soon develop into
the finer rivalry of each to benefit the
other by seeing which can boost the entire
country the most
At Chipley will be formed on May
80 the West Florida Chamber of Com
merce, even as the North Florida Chamber
of Commerce had been formed some time
previous.
As our country fills up, it will be seen
that the welfare of one part depends en-
tirely on the welfare of the other. The
idea the man up north has about Florida
outside the artificial resort regions what
he derives from the alligator post card,
and the libelous accounts of Sun
shine land such as recently insulted the
reading intelligence in Golfers Weekly.
With an incompatible climate, a splendid
soil, and a rising market for everything
we can produce down here the prosper
ity race between Jacksonville and Pensa-
cola will have mighty far-reaching results.

Looking At Us

The Escambia County Cattlemen's
Association has under consideration
the building of at least ten dipping
watts in line with the campaign now
under way in West Florida to wipe
out the cattle tick. Twelve members
of the association have endorsed a
note for an amount sufficient to do
the work with and they hold them
selves responsible for the success or
failure of the movement.
The campaign for the eradication of
cattle tick in Florida is taking firm
hold on the whole State. People not
directly interested in the cattle in
dustry are becoming just enthusiastic
over the movement as those who are.
They are beginning to realize the
great good that the state will derive
from the eradication of the pest which
is costing many hundreds of thou
sands of dollars annually.
Prospects for the early and COM
plete radiance of tick in this State
were never better.-Jacksonville Me-

A Strong Testimonial For
Senator Nathan P. Bryan

About the strongest testimonial TO
mans worth that could possibly be given
i contained in the letter, printed on the
first page Of The Journal this morning,
from prominent citizens of Pensacola, IN
which thev declare themselves as support
ers of Senator Nathan P. Bryan. When
# IS known that these citizens, five years
ago, were vigorously opposing the nom1-
nation of Senator Bryan, that many OF
them were vice-presidents OF the Escambla
County Blount Club and others members
of that organization, then the full force OF
this endorsement can be realized.
These men were honest in their support
of Mr.. Blount in 1911 They represented
all political factions in Escambia county
had opposed each other in city, county and
state politics-but united in their support
of Mr.. Blount because they believed him
eminently fitted for the position of United
States senator.
Today these citizens are just as strong
in their advocacy of Mr.. Bryan. They are
doing SO for the reason that he has clearly
demonstrated to them his fitness for the
high position which he holds; that he is a
broad-minded statesman, in whose make
UP there is not an iota of prejudice; that
he has reached a position in the senate
of the United States that another can
not possibly attain within six years, and
that he towers head and shoulders above
any of those who are opposing him.
These are some of the reasons why the
Blount supporters of 1911 are Bryan sup
porters of 1916.

POLITICS AND
POLITICIANS.
Afraid of the Press

Afraid of the Press
Just what is newspaper story"
It is, where freedom of the press is
secure, a report to the public of what
is going on around them. 1t is the APP
peal of facts to the court of public
opinion. And public opinion, while
mistaken sometimes, is in the long
run pretty wise. To be afraid of a
newspaper story means that one has
something to conceal. To jeer at it
shows contempt for the public. The
newspaper story is, in these days, the
most powerful tool of democracy. No
one can afford to despise it, for
through it the people rule.-Jackson-
vile Metropolis. ..

men are dipping all cattle regardless
of ownership. They find that it is
