Far Out Of Step With
Kentuckys Progress

Morrow has gone far back to Augustus E. Wilson's
administration for comparison of expenditures BY do
ing this he has shown lamentabe lack of knowledge of
the Of today and Of the yesterday in which he has
been living.
He has shown, too, surprising lack Of knowledge
of the onward sweep Of progress that Kentucky has been
making.
Seemingly he does not know that since Gov Will
sons term Good Roads Department has been estab-
lished and it has built 74o miles of good roads, cost
to the state of $3o40,o11.00.
Seemingly he does not knoW that Kentucky now has
$1,000 rural schools while under the Wilson adinistra
ton there but 5000 Is it any wonder $2sooOoo
more has been spent for educational purposes?

Morrow's Todays Are All
YESTERDAYS

Seemingly, he does not know that it is Gov. Black
who is his opponent in the present His entire cam
pagn has been of what he would have done"
He has said he would have kicked out the School
Book Commission, though he must have known that
that would have made him lawbreaker. The question
naturally arseswould he governor for the laws
of the state?
He has criticized the tax law, though he knows
that he gave it his endorsement and that it bears the
name of fellow Republican. Not he-but Gov Black
nsteadhas made constructive criticism of this law,

TAX DISTRICT
IS ADVOCATED
BY ROTARIANS

The Rotary club of Pensacola went
on record unanimously Tuesday as
favoring the creation OF special
school tax district for Pensacola
Action was taken after a thoughtful
and logical address by w. III. Watson,
seconded by an address by j. III.
Sheriff. Mr.. Watson stressed the
necessity of adopting this means of
meeting the very serious problems
which confront the cause of education
in Pensacola, and the authority of such
a district as provided by law. He also
showed the invaiidity of the objections
which might be urged against the
creation of such a district. Mr.. Sheriff.
made an earnest plea in behalf of the
schools. Both addresses Were heartily
aplauded.
Guests of Rotarians yesterday were
Rev. Arthur Moore, now conducting 9
series of revival meetings at the First
Methodist church in Pensacola; o. w.
Stapleton and J. c. Reid, members
of the evangelical party.
Rev Moore made happy speech in
which he referred to the Rotarians
wherever he has met them all over
the nation, as forward looking men,
He illustrated this with a story Of a
preacher who, after serving a small
church for several years, was called
to a church paying a larger salary
While the minister locked himself up
to pray over the call, his wife began
packing up.
Mr.. Reid favored the club with a
masterful rendition of-his own compo-
sition, American HASH on the piano
AS an encore Messrs Stapleton and
Reid sang Il Amt Wearied Yit, and
Beautiful Ohio" both of which made
a decided hit.
Yesterdays meeting of the Rotarians
was the largest attended held in sew
eral weeks.

SETTLING HOUSING PROBLEM.

Andalusia Ala is working out its housing
oblem. through Home Building Corporation
rxing in conjunction with its Chamber of Com
cree. The Andalusia Star says:
In order to get homes constructed that Will
be within reach of low-wage, well as high
wage persons, IL requires the concentration OF
capital IN amounts sufficient to build number
Of homes to keep down the cost. Home Build
ing Corporation. proposed by the Secretary of
the Chamber of Commerce, in which the shares
Of stock sold all of diversified interests in
the city In order to obtain their corporation has
been found to be the most successful plan.
The properties purchased and improved by
the corporation should not be retained and rent
ed, but sold on low cash payment as possible
and the monthly payment should be greatly in
excess of the normal rental
One of the greatest calamities of today is that
81 per cent of the people are tenants, and ten
ancy is increasing at rate of per cent every
ten years. which If not stopped will eventually
bring us TO the point where the land is held in
the hands of a few at the expense of the many.
The one family type of houses should be
couraged and is the only kind that will bring
out the individuality of the occupants.
The birth rate in some states is decreasing As
per cent annually due in large measure to the
multiple family house, called in cities the
apartment building, which is than a
high-cIass tenement. Such places never arouse
civic interest in the minds of the occupants
make the citizens that single family houses
make, nor such conditions conductive to the
raising Of larger families. If you want to make
a real citizen of man let him home.
He will then have part in the community and
something to defend. No nation ever sprang to
arms In defense of a rooming house and no man
ever displayed great civic pride until he became
an owner Of home. The unstable worker who
lives in suit and floats from place to
place is the man who causes a large per cent of
labor difficulties throughout the country.
Every retail merchant likes to do business and
extend credit to the man who owns. is buying
his home, because he knows that such a custom
err Is permanent citizen and not a fly-by-nfght
and that by extending him credit he is not talk
ing any chance.
No man was anarchist who owned
his home in which he lived. The mere fact that
he had financial investment in his home makes
him a capitalist, and the division of his hold
ings become another story.

TO COMPLETION

The boy scout recruiting campaign
that has been in progress in Pensacola
for tho past three months is now
drawing to a close. The results ara
good. though far from being what the
committee had hoped to accomplish
VA decided impetus has been given
the movement in the city, which IL IL
hoped will grow into still larger pro-
portions.
It was the plan of the committee in
charge of the work of organization "a
organize the boys within the various
churches, or at least get troops affil
lated with them, as a starter for 4
more extensive organization Fer
various reasons the hopes OF those il
charge in this regard has not fully
materialized. 1t is hoped, however
that men who ought to be leaders OK
boys, and helping to bring to tire boy
hood of our community the very best
program that is to be had--a program
that will enable them to come TO
fuller manhood. and a better citizen
ship--will interest themselves in this
great movement and make 1t fulfil
larger mission in community life.
On next Monday evening the COM
mittee Will hold a meeting. at which
time all that has been done Will be
gone over Thoroughly, and plans made
for the continuation of the work. The

manent organization and make appli-
cation to headquarters for a council

someone as scout commissions 70,
carry on the recruiting work and
otherwise supervise the activities,
among the boys.
The commissioner serves as a VOL

he may have to the work, which nec-.

cruiting activities, though the work.

In connection with the movement for the Flor

ublic official long connected with municipal affairs
calling attention to the Importance of business
of this community standing solid1y back of the

"A prominent st. Louis business man. who

instance how large Boston firm was induced

PLANTING CABBAGE AND ONIONS.

The latest government crop estimate report
shows that the acreage planted to cabbage in the
cabbage producing states of the north is about
10 per less than harvested last year. ami
the average condition of the crop August I was
only 70 per cent, compared with Sc per cent on
August 1 last year
As for onions the estimated production for this
year the fourteen onion producing is about
nine per cent less than produced in the same
states last year.
The profits to be made in Florida from such
crops cabbage, onions and Irish potatoes depend
in large to the amount of such products
that are produced the northern states during the
previous summer For example the cabbage and
potato crops almost a total failure in the
north in 1916 and result many of the potato

1917 the northern states largest crops
Of cabbage and potatoes they have ever produced.
As result prices lower all during the follow

row how many of our farmers failed to sell pota-
toes enough to pay freight and how the cabbage
farmers of South Florida let and tons of cab
bage rot in the field.
Every farmer who has suitable land and knows
how to grow cabbage onions would do well TO
study the figures mentioned above and plant the
crops accordingly. Certainly every person regard
