FAULT SOMEWHERE

Wherever the fault may lie in the lack of
books for the children of the public schools Of
the county, the fact remains that there is ser-
GUS fault in direction.
That the children of this county, delayed in
their attendance for one month already should
at this last moment have their work retarded
through the lack Of necessary text books, borders
on the ludicrous.
When the schools were closed in October it was
q necessary step to guard against the spread of
influenza. The time that the pupils lost was
no fault of any human agency. But it was most
certainly within the province of some person or
persons to guard against such condition as ex-
lists in the schools of this county today
The ten-mill tax amendment has just been
passed by the voters of this county. The people
have pledged themselves to pay an additional tax,
III necessary, to support the public schools of
Escan1bi-.. But all the money in the world will
not avail to correct such condition as now ex-
lists in Pensacola.
The Journal is not in position, nor does not
pretend to lay the fault anywhere Who is to
be blamed cannot be settled in any off hand way
But it is very certain that there is culpabe blame
somewhere, either with the county or the state
authorities.
1t is said that this is not the first time that
the school authorities have had trouble in re-
gard to The books If it is not the first it should
certainly be the last Some means should be
found to correct present conditions and to guard
against such future occurrence in this county.

PEACE TREATIES

AS a rule formal ratification of peace treaty is
expected and necessary to make it valid
Peace treaties usually written by hand
throughout sealed with many seals and bound
with green silk ribbon
Peace treaties bind the signatory powers
either when they signed when they are
ratified. They bind individuals when they re-
ceive news that such treaties have been made.
The rulers of the signatory powers don't afix
their signatures seals to peace treaties entered
into by them. This important formality is car
ried out by specially accredited peace commits
sioners.
Each nation entering into peace agreement is
bound by all of the terms agreed upon by its
peace commissioners provided it cannot be shown
that such commissioners did not expressly violate
the instructions given them.
The effect of peace treaty is to put end
not only to war, but also to all complaints

GOOD ADVERTISING.

The numerous requests that nave recently
come to the Chamber of Commerce in regard to
the harbor the dockage facilities and the general
information in regard to the city, indications
of the increased attention that is being paid to
southern parts, and imply that with the coming
of peace and the increased export trade of this
country, this port will once more come into her
own.
Pensacola is at the threshold of the greatest
in her history, and from on the develop
ment of this city and section will depend more
the spirit of the people than at any other time
in all its history.
Pensacola has learned many lessons from the
world war, not the least Of which has been the
need and the effectiveness of cooperation. Men
who have never before interested themselves out
side of their business interests, have given
themselves, heart and soul to the success of the
Liberty Loan, Red Cross, the United War Work
campaign and other patriotic movements, and it
is this cooperative spirit back of these drives
that has made their success notable
And with that strange law of compensation
which never fails to work itself out, in spite of
all we can do, at the time when Pensacola has
been the most unselfish, at time when and
women have thrown themselves, heart and soul
nto the work for humanity, with no thought of
return, has been the time when this city has re-
eeived more advertising than it has ever received
ma has been brought to the attention of the
country never before
Taking the recent influenza epidemic as an ex-
ample, there was never any movement started
IN any community that was entered into with a
more unsefish spirit. Men literally laid down
their lives in the cause of humanity, women gave
themselves without thought of selfish interests,
the entire community lent isef to stamping out
the disease.
Pensacola did not enter this fight in any spirit
but that of the most complete self-abnegaton, yet
this fight has advertised this city hardly any
thing else could have done Not only was the
success of the campaign here taken an example
OF what migth be accomplished in other cities, but
this city has been cited by the Southeastern di-
vision of the American Red Cross as an example
Of what cooperative, unsefish spirit can do for
a community.
The Red Cross publication declares that while
every community, both large and small, has act
Ell with real herosm, in the struggle with the in
fluenza, Nashville, Tenn, Charleston, S. c.. Pen
sacola, Fla, and York, S. c., may be said to be
representative of the. best methods employed to
relieve the critical situation.
1t is this same cooperative spirit that is going
to place this city in the forefront in a business
way, if it is ever placed there.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1918-11-08

taken. A new war can be undertaken for similar
causes of complaint, but not for the same. The
peace is an oblivion amnesty of all past difficult
ties.
Latin originally was the language in which
all peace treaties involving Christian powers
were written. Later French was generally
adopted as the language for such agreements,
but nowadays it is customary for copies of the
treaty to be prepared in the language of each of
the signatory powers
Each signatory power is given an original copy
of the peace treaty. In addition, it is customary
to make and sign several certified copies of the
treaty for convenience. The original copies are
kept securely locked up in the archives of the
different countries, while the certified copies are
used for printing from and for reference
1t is customary for each copy of a peace treaty
to begin with the words, "In the Name of the
Most Holy and Undivided Trinity" It is also
customary however, to make exception in the
case of Turkey and other Mohammedan countries,
the copies of their treaties being altered to read
I'm the Name of Allah the Almighty God"
Peace treaties are not written straight across
the page, or pages, like ordinary documents. They
are written in parallel columns, each colum being
in the language of one of the signatory powers.
The text of each of these columns is an exact
translation of the text of all the other columns,
and the utmost care is taken in the selection of
words that will convey identical shades of mean
ing.

THE UNSEEN QUALITY.

The things that equip men for life's work
$50 varied that it's impossible to standardize the
requirements for the big jobs.
We may talk in general way about faithful
ness and loyalty and honor and the other quail
ties which are so necessary in the ideal man, but
one must have these-plus
And it's the ''pus"-the thing added-that
makes the difference And usually you can't de-
fine what this plus may be. You feel 1T inf1u-
ences others, and it's what wins in competition
with otilers-but you can't classify it.
1t may be something that handed down
by mans grandfather, or that to him
through lifetime of experience, Or that came
out of an inspiration-or shall we call it vision
which opened his heart and mind and made him
different, mostly in his inner self.
It's chiefly this inner, hidden life, which no
man can see, that gives the apparently ordinary
man the place of superiority.
But fortunately this road to power is open to
al-if we will but seek it. For the develop
ment of the inner life depends not upon wealth or
learning. but upon the cultivation of open-mind-
edness and warm heartedness, upon our willing
ness to understand others and principally, per-
haps, upon our readiness to permit others to win
the bigger places if they desire them.

Phoenix, Ariz., March 25,

Phoenix, Ariz, March 25, 1918. Dear Sir:
 Iu your editorial in this mornings s paper you say, you are asked to lend Uncle Sam any sum from 25 cents up at a fair rate of interest" While cir cular w. s. 113 issued from Wash ington reads:
 Q. Can l surrender my Thrift Card for cash?
 A. No.
 Q. If l must have money on my Thrift Card and Thrift Stamps. how can I obtain it?
 A. By filling the Thrift Card, etc. Therefore $4.00 is the lowest amount loaned to U. $. if you don't fill the card you give to U. s. from 25 cents up. I have never seen this mentioned by the papers. How many school children will lose, unless they understand this?

of the city to know that Thomas K
 Marshall, president of the State Temperance Federation and Grady
 Gammage, secretary of the federa- l tion, under an understanding with the board of supervisors of this i county employed detectives and se- ! cured evidence against the bootleg gers arrested last Monday night. The warrants were issued from the county attorneys office. Neither the city management nor the city police | knew what was going on until they
 were called upon by the sheriff to help make the arrests, and then through a leak some twenty boot
 leggers could not be found for whom
 warrants had been issued.
 1 desire to call the attention of l the voters to these facts, because the city management and their official
 organ, The Arizona Gazette, vehe-
 mently protested that there was no excuse for the campaign of reform | inaugurated by the citizsns of Phoe- nix. And that such things as gambl- | ing and bootlegging in Phoenix. ex- isted only in the minds of Dr. Wilk-

 was especially scandalized and in

 six weeks ago made the statement
 that the prohibition law was flag

 What do you think of the situa- 1 ton now? Thirty-five bootleggers
 arrested and some twenty for whom
 warrents were issued escaped. And
 what about the gambling? Many
 reputable people claim that gambling
 is carried on almost openly in sev-
 eral of our pool halls. The city
 management says that there is no l such thing. That that is only a
