FACTS ARE STUBBORN THINGS.

1t cist Jacksonville $27, 933.89 to run its
high school last year, and its enrolment
was only 500.
Pensacola, with almost three-fourths the
attendance, spent barely third as much.
Or, expressed otherwise, Jacksonville
spends $52 per year per pupil on high
school work, Pensacola $50
Small wooder that our students are
without an adequate corps of teachers are
without laboratory or library facilities
worthy of the name.
But Jacksonville is not content yet. Not
only to improve her high school, but to de
velop all educational facilities, Jackson
vile, constituted special ak district in
1914, has voted a million dollar bond issue
Tor school purposes, and her building pro-
gram contemplates the erection of fifteen
or twenty new buildings and several addi-
tions--all freproof
Jacksonville, thinking not only of the
present, but anticipating future needs, is
not murmuring under its eight-nill extra
assessment, because Jacksonville knows
that no better investment could be made
than to take stock in the brains of its
children
In Pensacola we are working for a three
mill assessment

THE SCRATCH PAD
BY THOMAS EWING DABNEY.


The poet who wrote, 'sMan wants
but little here below" was a liar, but
he was food prophet.
This time last year people were
saying that the Hon. Honk Ford
must have meant another year.
1t all resolves itself to this: Ger
many has lost the bone she wanted
to pick with the allies, and now wants
to chew the rag.
This is the time of the year when
dad begins to wonder if the kids were
in earnest about that promise to be
good.
What has become of the old-fash-
Toned Nat Goodwin, who used to get
married oftener than some men
change their collars.
Whatever excuses may be claimed
for new years celebrations in other
directions, certainly there has been
no willy orgy of bill paying so far.
The Syracuse Post Standard says
Boston is the faucet of Massachu-
sets. Alas, poor Yorick! Can a wet
election so soon sweep away the In
tellectual beans?
Miss Ruth Law was very nervous
at the banquet given in her honor, but
what would be the condition of the
| banqueters if she had them in heI
| element?
The fact that 500 gallons of booze
were poured into a water wagon with
which to sprinkle the streets Of
Phoenix, may explain why so many
people preferred to ride behind that
conveyance in automobiles.

PROMINENT MEXICAN SAYS

Queretaro, Mex, Jan. 3.-Felix M.
Palavacini, former secretary of pub

for General Carranza, declared before
the constitutional assembly late last
night that the international situation
was grave.
General Carranza, said the speaker,
had refused to resume conferences
with the United States representa-

withdrawn from Mexico uhcondition-

PAYING BACK THE GOVERNMENT.

An interesting sidelight is thrown on the
ever interesting subject of credit and hnafl-
cia1 responsibility, by the announcement,
from Washington, that eighty, if rot ninety,
per cent of the loans made by the govern
ment to Americans, war-bound in Europe,
will be repaid.
In order to rescue the thousands of
Americans whose business was wiped out,
or who were temporarily rendered desti-
tute by the paralysis of banking facilities,
the Tennessee was dispatched to Europe in
1914, and the sum of $9,600,0O0 loaned
them by the United States to enable them
to get back home. No security whatever
was asked-the loan was debt of honor.
Many paid Immediately upon their re-
turn; others Jagged and the government
published a list of the delinquents, which
stimulated reimbursement to an astonish-
ing degree, and the number of installment
payments that were brought forth sug
gests bona fde difficulties. The point is,
no coercion at all is employed-you can
pay it or leave it, is the attitude.
A business that lost only ten per cent of
its bills would be a miracle. Now many,
if not most of these people did not scruple
to defraud the government of customs
dues, and any credit man will tell you that
a much larger per centage than ten per cent
of them will beat the grocer, the tailor, and
the doctor. Wherein, then, lies the gov
ernment's magic?
Is it in the honor system, or is it in the
publicity? Or is it combination of the
two? Men are naturally good-sometimes
they overestimate-the bite off more than
they can chew, and that is what makes bad
bills Would the fear of public opinion
make them purchase more circumspectly

.REPORTON BRITISH ARMY
SCANDAL Is PUBLISHED
81 AssoCIATEn PRESS


London, Jan. 3.-Army scandal in
volving the exercise of influence over
high officers by Mrs. Corvallis West,
mother of the Princess of Plees ana
the Duchess of Westminster, rs de-
scribed in the report of the court in
quiry issued tonight.
Mrs. CORVALLIS West and several
generals were. severely censored.
Such inquiry recently demanded by
the house of commons on the ground
that the honor of Lieutenant Patrick
Barrett, of the Welsh Fusileers, was
involved.
Mrs. CORVALLIS West is said to
have interested herself in Barrett's
advancement until he was protected
and then sought to discredit him.

THE LAFAYETTE MUSEUM.

There is something very fine in the
thought that Frances monument to liberty
over here is to have cempanion-piece to
humanity, the purchase of the Lafayette
chateau in France by Americans and its
dedication as a memorial museum and
home for soldiers orphans and soldiers dis
abled in the great war.
''The welfare of America is closely bound
up with the welfare of mankind" said
Lafayette on his departure for America, a
century and quarter ago, when the
mighty blows he struck for freedoms cause
hewed him out nice niche in the Aemrican
heart alongside of Washington's own
This was the same Lafayette VIII re-
nounced the titles to fight the battles of
liberty of his native land and to whom the
republican excuses of the Bloody Revolu-
ton later became intolerable as the beastly
excuses of monarchy; the same Lafayette
who, though tempted by the offers of public
honor, refused to support the ambitions of
Napoleon when the vote to make him first
consul for life was taken; the same Lafay-
cite who, when Bonaparte became emperor,
declined the offered'b auble of peerage; the
same Lafayette who, thinking OF the man,
and not the monarch, offered to help Napo-
leon to America after Waterloo.
Strange though the contrast will be be-
tween the relics of the present war and the
war of '76, which are to be preserved in the
Lafayette museum, they are but different
forms of expression of the same thought
For the cause of liberty is no less surely
being decided at the Marne Verdun and the
Somme than it was at Lexington, Valley
Forge and Yorktown,

SAFE KEEPING ON
PART POLICE DEPT.

"Held for safe keeping" appears
after the name of a white man named
Manning, who was locked up at the
police station last night. He was
kept there all night.
Manning, it seems, was found by an
officer and sent to city jail when it
was discovered that he had displayed
quite a sum of money while under
the influence of liquor, and the Off
GERS were fearful lest some harm
come to him. When searched at the
station, so that his effects could be
cared for, it was found that he had
at least $46.

we understand the allies are SO laboriously
striving, in order that-as defined IN their
reply to the German note they may end
once and for all, the forces which have con-
stituted a perpetual menace to nations?"
What will insure peace the allies are so
eager for that they won't stop fighting?
There is something very pathetic in the
dispatch in the New York Times, which,
while its source, for obvious reasons, is
carefully yelled, could have been prepared
by the German embassy or the Department
of State, stating:

Germany's abuse Of neutrality and desecra-
ton of humanity, even, new contributions
to international crime? Have not other
nations broken pledges and committed
atrocities in the past? And if they re-
formed, may not Germany reform without
being broken on the wheel?
Or suppose the war was fought until
every German man, woman and child was
killed? Suppose every German book was
burned, every German institution obliter-
ated, the country itself torn up with great
steam shovels, loaded onto barges and
dumped into the ocean, would that be an
effective guarantee for the future security
of the world?" Does the capture of one
burglar eradicate crime?
The man who says that the demolition
of Germany would prevent a war between
say, the United States and Japan, is not
only illogical-he is ignorant
