pondlnS QlSaDllltleS.
Each one of the nearly $4,000 acct
dents has an individuality of its own.
We have often pointed out that a
cause Of accident which would seem
to admit of none other than fatal
result often inflicts a slight disability
while some apparently trivial acct
dent results fatally. Indeed the more
accidents are studied the more i'm
portant appears the part played by
seeming trivialities.
Why, in war. does one man go
through fifty engagements and SUR
vive his comrades while another man
who never enters into an engagement
at all is killed by spent bullet miles
from the line? There is something
in the soldiers philosophy which APP
plies to accidents in everyday life.
Ii you get it you will get it, and il

rHF PRICE oF PRosPERITY.

With several hundred new members
added to the roster during the recent cam
paign, the Chamber of Commerce IS IN
nosition to continue and increase its de-
velopment work for Pensacola
But if the new members think that with
the payment of their dues all obligations
on their part ends, they are making sad
mistake. Necessary as money IS to any
undertaking, there is one element that IS
more important still-human interest Ii
men are not interested enough in their town
to work for it, or in their Chamber of Com
merce to identity themselves with its en-
deavor, any effort it may put forth will be
rendered futile. before it is made.
Sparta, when its walls were the breasts
of its citizens was invincible. Rome, with
its free corn stultifying the personal de-
velopment of its people, degenerated. But
falo, with its 500 new factories IN seven
wears. could never nave made its advance
had its Chamber of Commerce comprised
merely a due-paying membership.
Our Chamber of Commerce is an eco
nornic movement-not a charity. 1t is a
spirit, not subscription. Its members
must attend meetings regularly, for only
IN this way can they learn the lesson OF
city building-an intensely competitive
process, described in the phrase: Those are
helped who helped themselves.
Prosperity can not be bought with our
dollars, but with our souls.

WHAT ELECTED. WILSON.

The energy that found expression in pre-

the problem: Who elected Wilson?
John M. Parker says it was the Pro-

Viereck is of the opinion that Roosevelt
did it; Samuel Gompers makes no secret
that it was the labor vote; the Navy League
says that the preparedness policy was re-
sponsible for the victory; the suffragists de-
clare theirs was the deciding ballot; and
there are some who say that California did
because Hughes hadn't spoken to "our Mr.
johnson"
AS matter of fact, no one elected
Wilson. With half million majority over
Hughes, and the largest popular vote ever
given a candidate, Wilson is the choice, not
of party, not of section, not of any par
ticular interests, but of the entire people
Even the states that went against him were
shaken-in Maine, for instance, the majority
was greatly decreased, and Massachusetts
was deeply moved. Rarely indeed has the
country seen such universally of appeal
as elected Wilson and defeated state nom
inees on the same ticket
1t is an anomalous situation It betokens
unrest 1t is significant. Wilson has made
of the Democratic party the party of the
people They have recognized their leader
in him, but are still confused by inherited
shibboleths, and that explains the strange
vote, the new splits and the unexpected
alignments.
Is the movement to become more general
IN the next four years, and the party of the
people to be further strengthened by con-
verts at last convinced that here is a party
that is identified with no section but the
United States, no group of men but the
people, and no interests except those of a
hundred million population?
