The North Dakota supreme court
now has under consideration an ac-
ton attacking the consttutionality of
the States compulsory vaccination
laws: the senate has before it bill,
approved by the Nonpartisan league
majority Of each house, in secret eau
Gus, repeating these statutes altogeth-
er and providing that vaccination or
inOculation shall not be made a con.
dition precedent to the enjoyment OF
any privileges Of citizenship in North
Dakota.
In view Of these facts much inter-
est attaches to the following letter
given the press by Associate Justice
James E. Robinson, the octogenarian
league member of the supreme bench
Vaccination.

AS the question of compulsory vac.

assembly, | deem it proper to give

of the court is to decide the law and

today by Clifford Thorne, represent

incalculable injury would be suffered

Mr. Thorne told the committee the

be defeated overwhelmingly" He
said, however, that some gool things
had been done out of the wreckage.

It gives me pleasure to offer this
tribute to The Journal on its Tween
tieth Anniversary. Its period of life
has covered an important era of the
history of Pensacola. During the
score of years just past, our city has
experienced many changes, each
marking an advance in civic strength
and prominence, only to be appre-
ciated by reviewing successive devel-
opments.
I will not undertake to recount
those developments, but will suggest
that each of us "old citizens try to
recall and compare them. The re-
suit, I am sure, will justify greater
degree of satisfaction with our pres
ent status than many of us ''croak-
ers'' are inclined to confess.
We are now really a substantial
city, with good prospects for future
greatness as a Florida municipality.
