This Wednesday, October 1, 1919.
marks the beginning of new era in
the history of Pensacola. Today the
venereal clinic opens. We of the nice,
chaste rural section adjacent to the
city wish to extend congratulations
and suggest that this be declared an
annual holiday by the city commission.
Let the da.y be celebrated with appro-
pirate exercises. BY all means let
there be parade made up of the
unfortunates, who have and are and
will be emaEcipated by the clinic. The
Rotarians, who become so interested
as appeal to the city government for
aid for the clinic after aid had al
ready been extended ought also to be
allowed an honorable place in the pa
rade. 1t is a gree thing to have an
office and a specialist to treat snake
bites when there are snakes on every
hand and the best of US are liable
to be bitten at any moment-at least
any night when snakes creep out Of
their holes and fasten their fangs in
the unwary and the unwilling. But,
we out here In the country being
somewhat modest are wondering just
how the venereous ones of Pensacola
(and they must be many will connect
up with the venerea1 clinic. 1t is true
the office is back in a sort of I'M
used part of the city, but unless there
is some. sort of underground passage
to and from, or some other method
of getting In and out unobserved I
should think many sufferers would
suffer on rather than run the risk of
being seen going or coming by some
very near and dear relative or friend.
What's the matter with the good fam
lily doctor whose ethics compel him
to strict confidence? Somehow we
out in the country, though altruistic
to the core and all members of the
Society of Uplifters. cannot see the
urgent. need of the clinic that is hailed
with such rejoicing by the newspapers
and others. Anyhow. we believe in
the old Ben Franklft doctrine that
IAN ounce of preventive is worth a
pound of cure" Therefore we have no
dance halls and If one among us is
fool enough to stick his great toe out
to be bitten by a viscious snake we
say good for him. he gets what IS
coming to him. However in Pensa-
cola it Is different. There veneceal
diseases are infections and contagious,
and seem to be just as insidious as
the Flu and overtakes so many great
and good people when least expecting
it that we of the adjacent rural dis
tricts are bound to join in with Pen
sacola in her rejoicing that the day
of her emancipation is at hand. But
if the unfortunates. of whom there
must be legions. will just stay cured
when they emerge from the clinic
with elastic step and clear eyes. our
rejoicing will know no bounds But
well we shall see Here's hoping.

MORE HOUSES NEEDED IN FLORIDA

Pensacola and Escambia county continue to enjoy
increased activity in real estate. The Montgomery

In Pensacola, especially home seekers have been

But this deficiency is being remedied New
houses going up in many sections of the CITY,
and arrangements being made for thousands
of dollars more to be spent the same way in the
future
This enhancement of property value is not con-
fined to Pensacola alone "One of the most en-

But, in spite of this fact, there still great

more than any others, need home, and are living

RIGHT OF WAY FOR
STATE ROADS URGED
Road is Worth Grant to Any County,
Says Board Chairman.

Tallahassee, Oct. 1.-The question Of
rights of way for state roads in Florida
is one which is giving the state road
department a great deal of serious
concern at this time, and in this con-
nection the chairman of the depart-
ment authorizes the following state
ment:
I'm various counties where roads
have been designated state roads, and
even in some where construction is
going on, the counties have refused
to furnish the right of way. There has
been designated for future construc-
ton a system of roads comprising
something over LOO miles, and the
public will readily see that If the state
of Florida is called upon to pay for
rights Of way, carrying all of this

left with which to build roads.

which is composed of property own
ers and tax payers of the state of
Florida, like other citizens. that a
state road, with an amount of money
from the federal government and
from the state of Florida as this
designation carries, should at least be
worth the right of way to any county.
and it is the earnest hope and belief
that when the people of the counties

wake up to the Importance of a stole
road, that they will unhesitatingly
grant, free to the state Of Florida, a
proper right of way for the construc-
