would eat ice cream and drink scald-
ing coffee at the same time unless
there was pain to warn them. Steel
will not long withstand rapid sudden
changes, but we have less intelligence
and respect for more delicate organs.
It is pain which keeps woman
from pinning her hat to her head in
stead of passing it through her hair.
Men would stick nails through their
skin and trousers, too, in order to hold
the latter up but for the pain. The
insertion of sharp instruments into the
skin would cause bleeding and per-
haps infect the body were it not for
the pain
We would stay up all night in badly
ventilated places unless we had head
aches to remind us to rest some and
breathe good air.
Some people would forget to eat
and keep the body alive unless they
had hunger pains. 1t is true that
many are too lazy to listen to the calls
of nature until pain compe1s them to
rid the body of noxious material.
Pains are not as always true in
dices to conditions nor are they always
reliable guides to the locations of the
trouble, but they are certain indi-
Gators of some disorders somewhere.
Nor are painful sensations necessarily
described in terms Of pain. There are
degrees and expression of pains which
are misinterpreted.
Disagreeable odors and sights are
painful to the individual, but are not
interpreted in the same manner. New
ertheless they are expressions of men,
tai hurts, and serve the same warn
ings. On the other hand, the purely
psychic insults are expressed in GER
tain forms of nervous discomfort, as
impending fear, insomnia, palpitations
or gastric unrest Just as we see in
dividuals who seem to have no sense
of physical pain, as evidenced by "hu-
man pin cushions" ''fire eaters" and
other freaks, we have very many
more people who have lost the sense
of mental and moral pain, so that they
apparently are capable Of doing things
which would cause others pain in
what we call remorse. 1t is as essen
tial to have sensitive moral sense as
physical one. In the moral sense we
can be educated by the examples of
others as we'll as we can profit by the
experiences of those who have suf-
fered from ignorance of physical con-
sequences. In moral affairs we can
always beat the offense to the bar
rier by being sorry first.

AMBASSADOR GERARD's SPEECH

If Ambassador Gerard's speech was cor
rectly reported, he has been guilty of
grave diplomatic indiscretion, and deserves
severe reprimand
While it is an ambassadors duty to fos-
ter friendly relations to the very last, never
theless to declare in the face of recent sub
marine problems, that affairs between the
two countries were never on pleasanter
or more secure basis, was to say the least,
the uper-enthusiasm of zeal which is COM
monty thought to characterize the brains
OF cub reporters
Again the reference to President Will
sons note as an olive branch was not only
IN bad taste, it was contradiction of the
presidents own declaration that he was not
only not proposing peace, he was not even
offering mediation.
Finally the statement that SO long as
Bethmann Hollweg Zimmerman, and
others, controlled the German policy, there
&, uld be no friction between the two
countries, is open to the Interpretation that
the United States has taken it on itself to
dictate who shall be the officials of a
friendly nation-an intermeddling with
domestic affairs, the least suspicion of which
is intolerable.
The state department has cabled Gerard
for his version of the speech, until which
It's very embarrassing situation all around

dorse its agents reputed action could not
repudiate it without raising still graver

CRIME AND PUNISHMENT.

A few weeks ago we read OF Il judge who
sentenced a boy. for hitting a playmate
with a stone, to throw thousand rocks at
mark The fatigue gave the boy such a
lesson as no amount of corporeal punish
ment or scolding could have accomplished.
Now we read of a man. charged with
beating his wife in fit of drunken rage,
who has been sentenced by New York
Judge to, go to church every Sunday for the
next year-incidentally signing the pledge.
Thus IS crime coming to Be recognized as
a psychological manifestation more deserv-
ing of correction-like disease-than re-
venge-the laws remedy is, becoming more

INVESTING IN THE FUTURE.


Historians of the future may wonder
why the Alahamiss movement wasn't in
stituted long ago. Everybody is now too
busy translating the enthusiasm of Fridays
meeting into provision for the present and
preparations for the future.
Consistent advertising made the Texas
wilderness to flourish, created fertile fields
OF the Kansas desert made wonderland
Of California, and sent thousands of Aneri-
cans and eighty million American dollars
to develop the bleak expanse of Canada
which, with three months growing sea
son, is smitten with snow the rest Of the
time.
Who will deny that our land is as good
as the desert lands of western romance,
that three or four crops are as profitable
as one, that abundant rainfall is as cheap
as irrigation, that proximity to the markets
is as good as distance?
If the future ever was foreseeable then
a successful termination of giant publicity
campaign, exploiting the Golden Coast
from Santa Rosa county, Florida, to Pearl
River, Mississippi, and extending hundred
miles inland, is the one great certainty OF
human life.
An advertising fund of S250,000 is to be
raised and will be distributed over period
of five years; it will be under the control OF
central committee of twelve, who in turn
work with the community committees and
will be spent on newspaper and magazine
display features, booklets, lectures, stereo-
photographs, etc. Publicity experts will be
employed to do the work
Mobile has practically guaranteed to
raise $125000 and Pensacola will con
tribute about $4,000, or $4,000 a year
Probably more will be raised, as our people
are convinced that this is no donation, but
an investment in property. That the frs
money for the movement should have beer
raised in Pensacola, speaks well fol
progress here. Not only will land devel
opers and hotels profit by an influx of tour
lists and colonists, but every store, lawyer
doctor, restaurant, bank, barber shop anc
shoe polisher will profit directly. Not only
have the largest cities seen the light, bu
the smallest hamlets, the most remote com
munities, have lifted their faces at the glac

TWO MORE NOTES.

TWO MORE NOTES.
War, for which preparations were solong
a-making, could not be expected to be end
ed at the first suggestion. Even the most
optimistic, when Germany made her peace
proposal, recognized the possibility of an
other spring drive Having worn Germany
down by attrition, the Somme push failed
of crushing success because the weather
rendered the ground impossible, and the
Entente must of course finish what has
been begun before it can logically demand
the terms. to which it is really entitled. The
battle Of New Orleans was fought after
peace was ratified, and there is nothing in
consistent with the hope of a relatively
early peace in planning at least one more
campaign
Declaring they did not desire the politi-
cal destruction of Germany the Allies, in
their reply to President Wilson's note, out
lined their terms, the principal of which are
the restoration of Belgium, Servia and Mon
\ tenegro, with indemnities, evacuation of in
.vaded territories of France, Russia, and
Roumania, with reparation; expulsion of
the Turk from Europe, with Constantinople
no doubt for Russia, though this isn't spe
officially mentioned
Germany has already offered, unofficial
~, the evacuation and restoration of land ;
in fact it is confidently stated that she has
expressed a willingness to indemnify Bel
giur1, the invasion of which the German
chancellor declared on August 4, 1914 in
the Reichstdg, to be contrary to interna-
tional law and said he would repair the
damage. 1t is therefore on the indemnih-
cation of the other nations that the question
will hinge, and this is a point Germany can
not be expected to yield without one more
struggle, much as she has yielded already.
Coincident with the reply of the Allies,
Germany has addressed another note to the
neutral powers, telling a tale of injured in
nocence and seeking to discuss the cause of
the war Two years ago Germany would
only talk about the conclusion of the war
significant change. An overwhelming
majority believes that Germany provoked
the war; but that's not the question; there
can be no dispute, however, about the ig-
noring of neutral rights, the disregard of
promises, the atrocious throw-backs to bar
barism in conducting war, the Lusitania
slaughter, the enslavement of a civilian
population; the bombardment of churches
it is for such things as these that Germany
must pay an indemnity, and not for starting
the WARRIOR which indeed no punishment
is adequate.
That the allies should have declared
against the political destruction of the real
Germany-the great Germany OF art and
industry and science and finance
greater purity of purpose than military
Germany evinced when, thinking she had
the power, she announced her intention Of
subjugating Belgium and retaining ali G
cupied French territory. When Germany
accepts the Allies terms, Europe will see a
juster peace than she could expect from a
victorious KaSerbund
