PensacoIa succeeds Pensacola

Herbert Fellel has resigned his
position as associate editor of the
Tallahassee Democrat and taken a
similar place with the Record Of that
city. He is succeeded by J. p Rob
erts, Jr., both of Pensacola Felkel
and Roberts are both good newspa-
per men, trained for their business by
experience on Pensacola papers,
where they formerly worked together,
and both the Tallahassee papers are
to be congratulated on getting two
good, up-to-date newspaper men.

been much improved in the past year

Counting the Babies In
Europe; Caring For Them Here

Figures recently compiled show that the
proportion of boy to girl babies is larger in
England and Wales than at any time since
1854, and England rejoices, for she will
need many a fine man child to replace her
pitiful losses in the war
New babies are all carefully counted in
Europe today. Foreign governments know
that babies are the most important of all
national assets. Without babies there can
be no national wealth, however great the
nations resources may be.
Uncle Sam knows this, as we'll as John
Bull But along with other accepted wastes
of Americas extraordinary resources,
Uncle Sans people have been VIGOROUSLY
wasteful of baby lives.
According to census estimates, we lose
124 of each 1000 babies born. In England
and Wales, the rate is 95 per 1000; in
France rs; in Norway 65; New Zealand 81.
There are twelve countries in which the in
FAINT mortality rate is lower than in our
own
Figures like this hurt Uncle Sans pride.
Poorer countries, some of them lacking
free school system, can raise their babies
better than we can. 1t must be our own
carelessness and neglect which causes our
embarrassingly high rate of infant NOR
tally.
Uncle Sam believes that we will all do
better if we know better. Therefore he has
ordered national baby week, beginning
March 4. for the purpose of bringing home
to parents and guardians the simple knowl-
edge which is required for baby salvage.
We have all acquired the habit, lately, Of
dealing in futures.
Perhaps it's our preparedness plans, or
the constant repetition of after the wal" "
or the promise of our coming commercial
supremacy-at any rate, we are making
the problems of posterity our own prob
lens.
First of them all is our duty not to waste
Our babies, as we do now, at the rate of
100000 year.
The children's bureau of the department
of labor is planning the baby week cam
paign and is now in communication with
2029 communities which will make about
2029 different kinds of exhibits.
These exhibits are not all for mothers
and nurses. If we are going to save the
most of our babies, fathers must help.
Among a baby's chief needs is good
home. That's where good father is mighty
handy.

Just Imagine It.
Candidates, you should speak kind
ly of your opponents and praise their
virtues, if you can do so without vio-
lence to your conscience. Old General
Scott, one Of the first governors of
Kentucky, told the voters to vote for
his opponent, for che is much better
man than I. If, however, you are
foolish enough to elect me, ] will do
the best I can for you," he said. This
article is written with two prominent

We VIII Not Stand For Repeal
Of Laws By One Nation

"All's fair in war" is the maxim that
moves the countries in conflict to tear UP
the laws of nations and humanity
But when the world gets back to normal
what shall be said of the United States, the
greatest neutral, the peaceful bystander, if
it also throws to the wind all that civiliza-
ton has built up by consenting to such vio-
lations?
It is Our task to keep semblance of
sanity alive in the world while the coun-
tries of Europe are in bedlam. Thus Pres
ident Wilson refuses to stand for the VIC
lations of international law and humanity
at sea- We will not permit the blowing up
of armed or unarmed merchantmen, with
out due warning and the removal of pas
sengers, because that is against humanity
and international law, as it was before the
war started-beforc a part of the world
went staring, stark crazy. We will not even
warn our countrymen against taking pas
sage on merchantmen, armed or unarmed
because that would be marked recognition
OF the unreasoning, irrational assumption
that one nation can change rules made by
all at its own sweet will.
This is the policy of the United States
government. We are taking this stand be-
cause, for one reason, we know Germany
would have approved it before this war;
we know she will approve its principle
after the war;
Imagine an international conference in
peace times passing rule permitting any
government to change the laws of nations
during war, permitting any group of office
holders illegally and ruthlessly to kill inno-
cents at sea in any manner frenzy sug-
gestsl Germany at peace would itself Be
the fiercest opponent of such a mad propo-
sition.
international law is not dead because all
the countries at war have violated it any
more than the law against murder is dead
IN the United States because I, 800 people
were murdered in this country in 1916.
international law can only be killed by
the neutrals-by the countries at peace be-
coming accomplices in its assassination.

Splendid suggestion

The Pensacola Journal makes the
splendid suggestion that we should
keep register of winter tourists. The
Journal thinks this would be valuable
in many ways. The suggestion strikes
us as a good one, not only for the in
dividual city, but it seems that some
statewide registration system could
be adopted which, with the assistance
of the press, could be made uniform.
No more interesting information could
be obtained. Who will be the first to
suggest the best plan Arcadia

he this winter killed Is hogs which
averaged about $50 pounds, and fat
tened exclusively on peanuts. In order
to preserve this large quantity of
