RELIEF, FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC.

Because $30,000000 in profits have been
made in the United States on sale OF Bel
gian relief supplies, and only 100000
have been donated to the cause here, we'll
meaning but illogical enthusiasts have de-
clared the United States to be a niggard
nation.
Nation is big word; it includes the
thousands who, unable to make ends meet
because of advancing prices, are held up
for contumely because they do not contrib
ute to the relief of distress elsewhere; it in
cludes the food strikers of New York whose
cry eve are starving so recently shocked
the country.
What percent of the 50, 100000 was given
by the men who made the $50 100000 is not
stated; doubtless a very small proportion
The relief ranters, therefore, have placed
themselves in the rather remarkable position
of demanding that hundred million people
pay the charitable debts of the United
States, while hundred capitalists reap the
| dividends.
Unfortunately the American people are
SO busy raising tribute for the food pirates
that they are unable to discharge the moral
! obligations of those gentlemen. If the cause
| of the relief commission is to prosper, there
fore, they should center their drive upon
i the profteers; and in addition to foreign
distress, it is to be hoped that an excess
profit refund will load an occasional ship to
alleviate the suffering in the United States.

THE SCHOOL TAX SITUATION.

Though it is a tremendous disappoint-
ment to find out now, when according to
schedule the elections should be held, that
there aresnot enough names on the petitions
Ito justify the county board of education to
submit the matter to popular referendum,
the cause of better schools is still far from
being lost. But it will be lost, unless
greater dispatch be employed than hereto
fore
If the necessary two hundred names are
added to the petitions before the meeting
of the board in March, the election can be
set for the 18th of April or the last of May,
at the latest This election will establish the
tax district. If before this election is held,
petitions are being prepared asking that
bond issue be authorized, this second cleo
hion, granting Of course the first carries,
can be held by the 18th of June or the first
of July,
AS hasbeen pointed out so often already,
the money raised directly by a three-mill
assessment, aside from being unduly bur
Idensome, would not be sufficient for Pen
saco1a's educational requirements, for
which reason bond issue on mill-and-a-
half basis, is urged Unless the district has
been created and the bond issue. authorized
before the meeting of the county commits
sioners in July, when the budget is pre-
pared, Pensacola will have to face another
year without high school building, to say
nothing about the inadequate facilities in
other educational directions
With the problem so simple, failure So
costly and the remedy so obvious, there is
no excuse whatever for delay. A definite
nomber of names are needed; they can be

lotted to a committee of responsible citi-
zens. The signatures must be secured
and that Immediately. Not only Pensa-
cola of the present, but Pensacola of the

ELECTRICAL APPARATUS AND
FIRES.

+ Fires that originate in such electrical ap-
paratus as pressing irons, curling irons,
coasters, heaters, etc., while they are usual
~ small, nevertheless their aggregate loss
IS large and occasional instances show cx-
tensive damage, as the $35O,0O0 fire in ex-
Governor Diapers Boston residence, traced
to an electric plate warmer, and the burn
ing of the John Wanamaker residence sew
eral years ago, due to an electric iron. I'1r-
thermore, they are increasing in number,
and, according to the National Board of
Fire Underwriters, already number 30,0tO
a year.
Inasmuch as they usually break otrt at
night, such fires constitute an espe >iai peril
to life. The fat iron, with the current
turned on, is probably the most deadly
menace of all. Most, il, not all of these fires
are preventab1e
Carelessness is indeed the cause of near
" every fire. Whether you forget to turn
the current off, or whether you economic
on fue construction, or fill the gasoline
stove while it is burning, it is all one: the
terrible reward of didn't think" is the
same.

PAPER BARONs SURRENDER.

With the threat of criminal prosecution
hanging over their heads, the newsprint
manufacturers have complied with Presi-
dent Wilson's ultimatum and agreed to
permit the federal trade commission to de-
terrnine fair scale of prices.
Thus situation is relieved that was be-
coming more intolerable every day; not
only were newspapers threatened with dis
aster, but the public itself was affected by
the increased rates.
AS was brought out in the government
investigation, there was no excuse what
ever, for the rise in paper prices, which
were created, not by the law of supply and
demand, but by collision. Caught with
the goods, as it were the manufacturers at
tempted to brazen it out, and it was only
when confronted with the alternative of
personal action by the president that they
became tractable.
| 1t is one of the most signal victories the
government has ever won against robber
business. An investigation of food prices is
now under way; and with this precedent es-
tablished, we can rest easy in the assurance
of four aces and clear conscience that the
food barons, too, will be forced to drcD
their unholy profits if President Wilson
proves their prices uniuStihed.

BRIDGE To
Be READY IN APRIL
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.


Lillian, Ala, Feb. 23.-ThOugh plans
had been made to have the bridge at Lii
Ian, over the Perdido river, ready for
the Pensacola carnival, to enable resi-
dents of south Baldwin county to attend
the celebration. unforeseen difficulties
prohibited its completion, and it is stated
that it will be April 1 before the struc--
ture is ready for use.
The inclement weather during January
is believed to be chiefly responsible for
the delay, for early in the year Mr.. Bar
clay stated that at the rate Of progress
then without a doubt the bridge would
be ready by MaTdi Gras. That such was
not the case is attributed directly to the
rain and fog, which were SO general to-
ward the latter part of the month, pre-
venting work over the river.
While it was not expected that the
bridge would be entirely complete for
ALardi Gras, it was believed that it would
at least afford connection So that vehicles
planned to have the entire bridge ready
by April l, which will assist Alabama
farmers in marketing their farm produce.
Plans are being made for the improve
ment of the road connecting the bridge
with Pensacola, and when complete will
afford easy access. between Pensacola
and South Baldwin to Mobile.
The bridge is being built by Charles r.
Barclay to take the place of a ferry
formerly operated at the site where the
bridge is being built The ferry was
damaged in the storm of July that the
owner decided to replace it with a mod
ern bridge. AS soon as the necessary
grant was made by the war department
and the plans approved, work was started
and has progressed rapidly.

Military service for men from II

country that may be the next to

law, it is estimated, would raise the

THE SHELL CONTRACTS.

AS the English company, Hadfelds, Ltd,
was not allowed to fulfill its bid, the United
States has been forced to restore the con-.
tract for 14-inch shells to American firms.
Because of recent agitation, however, the
government is saving about SAT- 900 as
compared with the original bids, three
American firms having lowered their bid
to $500 each. Hadfelds' bid was 1855, but
it is doubtful if the shells could be manu-
featured at that figure here-at least Under
present conditions.
1t is interesting to note in this connec-
ton that the Bethlehem Steel Company,
which Mr. Schwab so recently beasted had
been developed to greater capacity than
the Krupps, and whose noble and sacri-
fcing patriotism was manifested in the
highest bid of all, did not get single con-
tract, the shells being awarded 5000 to the
Midvale Steel Company, 5000 to the Cruel
bic Steel Company, and $500 to the Wash
lngton Steel and Ordnance Company. These
firms, by the way, have turned out better
shells than the Bethlehem company has
been able to do, and have undertaken to
do the work in less time

New York, Feb. 23.-Prof. Robert
L. Garner, who studies monkey talk
and nature, is going to Africa again
to bring back more specimens Of his
favorite subjects.
He says he knows 20 words of the
monkey vocabulary with which he
will talk to the apes in the jungle and
learn more about them than any
other man could.
Garner says the ape has a IAN
guage somewhat like mans, only it
has less sounds. We have 120 groups
of sounds, while the apes language
is built only on seven groups, he
says.
Garner came to this conclusion
after studying the ape in a large
strong wire sses house he had built

it is not necessary for rheumatic old
