LA FOILETTE'S ENEMIES.

The senior senator from Wisconsin iiaS been III the public eye for de cade or so and during that time got comfortably close to the Republican nomination for the presidency at least once.
 lie has made more enemies than any other congressman since the civil war;
 Must of the senator's difficulties is due, we think, to his slams at the American press. Such tactics have never been known to get {. man m public life anywhere and might even tually drive LaFsollette to the wall.
 The nations chief pacifist, is des- lsnatlon that can be hung on LaFol iette-and yet this fact would not have created the vitriolic comment it has we're it not for the senator's war fare with the press.
 The American press is not perfect it doesn't claim to be--but neither is Senator LaFollette. Between the two, we think the press will last the longest. A congressman who goes cut of his way to hack at the press Y lShould pause to consider that the printing press will be working long after he is dead Such a thought may tame his ardor.

the enormous waste by fire, and of means to prevent this waste. In some cities the ministers will devote "a part of the sermon hour on Sunday to discussion of fire prevention.
 President Woodrow Wilson is alive to the danger to the nation 1rom preventable fire, and recently issued this injunction:
 'Preventable fire is more than a a'rlvate misfortune. It is public cerellction. At a time like this of emergency and of manifest necessity for the conservation of national re- sources, it is more than ever mat ter of deep and pressing consequence that every means should be taken to prevent this evil"
 Pine Bluff offers a fertile field for gre prevention work, and October 9. Fire Prevention Day, is a good time to direct attention to the loss in life and property from fire, and to means or reducing the loss and minimizing the danger.

PENSACOLA'S GREAT RECORD.

Pensacola, by the immediacy of its re-
spouse to the Liberty Loan, has made for
itself a record of which any city might be
proud.
While other parts of the country were
from thirty-three to seventy-fve per cent
behind their quota, Pensacola's aIi0tmcEt
had been practically achieved, and now it
is known that she will exceed her share.
Even New York city, with all its boosted
wealth did not subscribe as fast, proper
tiOnateIy speaking.
The remarkable thing is that PensaCO-
lians thought there wasn't sufficient inter
est or money here to raise half our allOt-
ment. Nothing succeeds in Pensacola. was
the chorus Of gloom. Its not the first time
a city or a prophet has been without glory
to the home folks.
There is, Of course, no difference in the
patriotism Of Pensacola and the rest Of
the countrv-if its manifestation is greater
here, if the response was prompter, it is
simply because we are especially fortunate
in the men composing the Liberty Loan
cOmmittee-WhOse names we don't even
permit Ourself to mention lest we he
tempted from our theme, pleasant though
the task would be to sing their praises in
dividua1ity
But in saying that we possess the gold
of enterprise and enthusiasm that is lack
ing elsewhere, we also say much for the
| future OF our city, for the same efficiency
that worked for the government will work
| for the community
We have received an object lesson in the
conquest OF cooperation, in the success OF
sacrifice. We have discovered new re
sources-faith and ability and leadership
more important than climate and loca-
tion-possjbilities unsuspected-possibiIi-
ties that will make success in manufacture
ing, agricultural and Development lines
| generally, as they have in patriotic.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1917-06-13
CROP OUTLOOK.

That our present wheat crop will be
100000 bushels in excess of last years,
is the forecast of the department of agri-
culture The estimated crop 64000O,0O0
bushels, will, however. be way below the
average, which is 100000 bushels.
According to Herbert Hool rs estimate,
our allies will neq1 a billion bushels Of
grain, most of which will come from the
United States and Canada. OF the United
States the normal consumption is 600,O00,-
coo bushels year, which would leave only
56OOOOC0 of wheat to 60 abroad.
Fortunately, however, the south has
made a mighty response to the national
need, and the corn crop promises to be a
bumper. Of oats the crop will be the third
largest in our history; the rye crop will
beat the record. and barley, too, will make
{ big yield. The latter two will help out
in Europe and relieve the pressure on the
American market. But for Americans 80
outlook is still one of great conservation.
especially in wheat We sOuthrons of
course, are trained and accustomed to the
use Of cornbread, but the north will have
to learn to eat he splendid dish, while we
will have to double consumption.
Greater demands, too, will be made on
the south, not only for corn production,
but also Tor the smaller grains and food
stuffs generally. Our farmers, developing
companies and banks should lay their
plans accordingly.
