Poverty and Ignorance Cause
Of Much Crime

The resolution calling for an investiga-
ton into the extent of child poverty in the
United States is made specially timely by
the accumulatinp weight of evidence that
child poverty is a>fertile breeding ground
for vice and crime, according to Professor
Scott Nearing, of the University of Toledo.
A Chinese proverb holds that Crime be-
gins in poverty" Most recent social in
phasis to the correctness of this statement.
The home surroundings under which
many boys and girls grow up furnish a
wholly satisfying explanation of the lives
of crime and vice into which the children
fall. Children cannot hope to learn
decency in homes where according to a re-
cent report on the poor school children of
great American city many have no beds
to sleep in. They cuddlc together on hard
floors"
Another investigation reports an entire
family living in one room; man, wife,
three children and two boarders eating and
sleeping in kitchen and one bedroom
Similar conditions force themselves upon
attention from the pages of every recent
study of standards of living, leaving no
doubt in the mind of the thoughtful OBJ
server that the children brought up under
such surroundings must necessarily ex-
press these surroundings in their lives.
Investigators who have looked UP the
girls and boys committed to reformatories
and houses of refuge are unanimous in
their conclusion that the child delinquent
is usually the product of poor home sur
roundings
Interpose homes of even modest pros
perity," high school or college education
and the proportion of vi@iousness and
criminality drop to minimum.

Mexican Policy of Wilson
And Lincoln Identical

President Wilson has been severed,
on account of his Mexican policy
The critics who are so severe in their ar
alignment of the president are loudest il
heir reclamation Of Lincoln as their ma
ions greatest leader, since Washington
yet here is what Lincoln wrote in regar'
o his ideas of Americas policy towar
Mexico:
For a few years past the condition
of Mexico has been so unsettled as to
raise the question on both sides of the
Atlantic whether the time has not
come when some foreign power ought,
in the general interest of society, to
intervene. to establish a protectorate
or some other form of government in
that country and guarantee its con-
tinuance there.
You will not fail to assure the gov
eminent of Mexico that the president
neither has, nor can ever have, any
sympathy with such designs, in what
ever quarter they may arise or what
ever character they may take.
The president never for moment
doubt that the republican system is to
pass safely through all ordeals and
prove a permanent success in our own
country, and so to be recommended to
adoption by all other nations.
But he thinks also that the system
everywhere has to make its way pain
fully through difficulties and embar-
easements which result from the action
of antagonistical elements which are
legacy of former timse and yer ydif-
ferent institutions
The president is hopeful of the ulti-
mate triumph of this system over all
obstacles, as well in regard to Mexico
as in regard to every other American
state; but he feels that those states are
nevertheless justly entitled to a great
er forbearance and more generous
syrnpathies from the government and
people of the United States than they
are likely to receive in any other quar-

Canning Vegetables Viii
Save Everybody Money

The Journal has already discussed the
Canning Club movement from the stand
point of public development; its own
value to the home, however. is no less i'm
portant.
How many farmers down here, for in
stance, are buying canned goods? Do you
know where this money goes? To your
grocer only small bit, and tine bulk goes
to freight to middlemen, to jobbers, to
farmers in northern or western states-the
most aggravated form of mail order BUSH
ness.
Canning is such simple problem! YOU
merely gather the produce, clean it, and
subject it to certain degree of heat, which
kills the decay bacteria, and make your re-
ceptacle alright to prevent the entrance
of other bacteria. And there you are!
The farmers who make gardens in the
spring time will not be living at home un-
til they plant an extra packet of seeds or
so, in order to provide their table with
home-canned fruits and vegetables when
the growing season is over. The farmers
who do this will be astonished at the bank
roll they will develop from the saving in
groceries.

farmers? There are hundreds of lots and
yard corners in Pensacola itself which
could be made to yield wonderful har-
vest Mother Earth is so kind that a gar
den so feet square-20 feet square-will
yield more than any one family can use
Turing the growing season; why not there
fore invest in small canning outfit?
It's not too late yet. 1t is never too late
to do anything in this blessed region.
Plant your seeds, eat what you can, and
can what you can't. You will save enough
between now and December to finance the
most imposing Christmas shopping of
your life.

HOME RULE MEN IN
SESSION, DISCUSS
COMING CAMPAIGN
NEARLY FORTY MEMBERS OF
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEET
AND DISCUSS MATTER OF
CANDIDATES.

Nearly forty members of the ex-
ecutive committee of the Home Rule
Association held their first meeting
of the campaign last night. The
gathering was in the court house and
the large attendance showed the in
terest manifested by the members in
getting good men to run for the
charter board.
In this connection it might be
stated that the state law authorizing
the election of a charter board gives
these fifteen men only the right to
submit amendments to city charters
for vote of the people. The board
has no right to change the charter
or in any way interfere with the OPP
Grafton eof any city departments Of
the city government. Only by vote of
the people can a change in the form
of government be made.
This matter was discussed at the
meeting last night, owing to the fact
that there seems a misunderstanding
and some, apparently opposed to the
election of good charter board are
attempting to confuse the people as
to the duties of the board after tax
ing Office. The board also serves
without pay.
The committee after a discussion
as to the best methods of securing
fifteen good men TO run for the
board, decided that each member of
the executive committee select the
names of fifteen citizens and present
them to the committee at another
meeting next Wednesday night at
1880 o'clock. From among the num-
Der fifteen will be selected by the
committee and then a general meet
ing of the Home Rule Association will
be held and the latter vote on each
of the names.

FOR LEGISLATURE
NEW CANDIDATE COMES FOR
WARD REQUESTING OPPOR-

w. NJ. Herrider announces this
morning as a candidate for the legis-
lature. He promises to make an active
campaign for the honor he seeks, and
expects to get over the county and
see the voters personally before the
primaries.
Mr.. Herrider has for some time
been before the public, engaged in
constructive work. His prominence
in working for the completion of the
Old Spanish Trail; his interest in
good roads, good schools, and good
government, are well known, and, as
he expressed it last night, first of all
he will stand for Economical, clean
and progressive legislation that will
bring development to the city, the
county and to West Florida as a
whole"
He has also taken a deep interest
in various movements looking to the
development of West Florida, and is
one of the most enthusiastic in tick
eradication campaigns. Another thing
he stands for is an adjustment of the
fee system as far as possible.
