VOX POPULI


gratulate you upon the handsome an
niversary issue which you sent out
Twenty years IL a long time and
yet how memory antedates that Time
The Advance Gazette was my first
newspaper friend I was always loyAs
to It and then The Journal
have known the paper from its
first issue and I was glad when from
its columns all whislxey advertisements
were banished. although 1t must have
been at a considerable pecuniary loss.
It, is . fine testimony to those clean.
manly principles and high ideals for
which Frank L. Mayes stood.
Success is not measured by dollars
and cents. and that man or woman
who has lived and left behind them
Standard for others to follow, has
done well.
Upon a recent visit to Pensacola
walked over the old familiar ways,
but oh, the wonderful change!
We are glad to see these things for
stagnation means death. but there is
still a sadness that fingers in the heart
for the passing OF that which may
never be again.
/ The Journal is a paper OF which
| Pensacola may be proud. 1t Is clean,
never sensational; progressive, without
egotism: generous in it's policy ana
always Pensacola's friend and Flort-
da's ally in winning the way to bet
ter things.
Twenty years from now. measuring
the rate Of advancement by the past,
with the greater impetus which is q
resulting factor In the final achieve
ment, what may we not hope for, what
dreams may come true?
We trust that The Journal may
never change it's name for another, the
familiar heading seems like home, and
it Is truly journal Of Pensacola life
/ Pensacola, city of romance, OF
tragedy, of memories, quaint stories OF
real life.
/ For years a dreamer by the sea, but
now an awakened city whose vision
lis one Of achieved ideals, whose spirit
| is strong and true. and brave enough
to go ever upward along the way OF
great progress.
And The Journal is a part OF Pensa-
cola. FLORIDA PINE

 The regular session of 1919 charged the law to provide for a primary the second Tuesday in August. Attention has been call ed to the fact that this will be too late to elect delegates to the na- tlcnal convention, which will probably be held in June.
 Should this be done, and the primaries placed on a date three months earlier than now provid- ed, politics would take, on renew ed interest at once. and the army of candidates would begin to de- eide definitely upon their course.

PEOPLE NOT TAKING ADVANTAGE
OF FREE DIPTHERlA ANTITOXIN

While Henderson County probably
comes near as any county in the state
to being free of diptheria, Sill there
is no section in which the dread dis
ease does not occasionally manifest it
self. And according to the State
Board of Health people in all sections
are spending money unnecessarily in
stead of availing themselves of a SER
vice which the state stands willing to
perform.
; Why the people of Henderson Coun-
ty and every other section Of the state
lcontinue to buy diptheria antitoxin at
from $500 to $500 per dose when they
can get it for Csc per dose, is not al
together understood by the State
Board. A recent investigation of
f1fty-seven cases of diptheria in North
Carolina shows that antitoxin was Sc
cured for twenty-five of the patients
at twenty-five cents a dose, while for
thirty-two it cost from $500 to $500
per dose. The bill paid by one man
for diptheria antitOxin of a private
brand was $4665, whereas if he had
bought the antitoxin provided by the
State Board of Health he would have
saved over $40.
In keeping with the policy of the
State Board to investigate all deaths
from diptheria to know where to place
responsibility for the deaths, the
Board has arranged to furnish the
people of the State diptheria anti-to1-
in practically free, only twenty-five
cents per package. Henderson Coun-
ty people might do we'll to reques:
the chairman of the county board OF
health, who is also the chairman OF
the county board of commissioners
to keep a sufficient supply of this pre-
ventive on hand to meet demands.

PAYING FOR GOOD HIGHWAYS
Improved Roads Have Always Beef
Necessary Adjunct 20 State,
Community and Individual.

Good highways are and have always
been necessary adjunct to the wei
fare Of the state, community and fndi
vfdual. The argument, "Good roads
cost lots of money" may in reality be
true when figured in dollars and miles
but is Incorrect when considered IL
reality. Good roads must be paid for
but they are paid for whether they are
built or not. The wear and breakage
on teams, harness and vehicles, an6
the increased cost of hauling on pOOI
roads is costing the grower far more
than the price of building and keeping
in repair the very best roads. He Is
actually paying for the roads without
getting them; and, besides, is put tc
much Inconvenience and worry.
In short, good roads cost nothing

1t is evident that most Gf the KHAKI
is going to disappear from the streets
of Hendersonville and other towns in
the near future. as Do5h officers AM
enlisted men will be forbidden after
discharge, to 1a4- the army uniform
except upon Occasions Of Ceremony"
T. is not known JUS What constitutes
n occasion of sufficient ceremony
to justify dragging out the old brass
buttons, but that's the way the order
reads; maybe it means weddings only.
Official orders from Washington
state that discharged soldiers ma!
wear their uniforms from place o.
discharge to their homes within
three months after leaving the SCI
vice. Thereafter the officers may wear
uniforms only on occasions of cere-
mony. Enlisted men must return
uniforms within four months, al
though there is bill now before
congress to allow the men to retain
uniforms permanently.
The order follows:
present law authorizes a discharg-
ed officer or soldier to wear his uni
from from the place Of discharge
from the service to his home, within
three months Of the date of his dis
charge from the service. Thereafter
the officer may wear his uniform only
upon occa sions of ceremony.
"The enlisted man must return his
uniform within four months of date
Of discharge; but can wear it only as
stated above. ,i.s~ :zsss:: ss4p
AN act is now before congress,
which if passed, will authorize en-
listed men to keep the uniform which
they are permitted to wear home, anc
to wear that particular uniform, only,
provided some distictiVe mark or in
sigma to be issued by the war depart
ment shall be worn.
ut will thus be clearly seen tha,
neither under existing or proposed
law will discharged soldier be per-
mitted to wear uniforms made by CT
villain or other tailors. They may
legally wear only the particular uni
form which they have been permit
ted to retain.
Commanding officers of camps,
posts and stations will give the widest
publicity to this information, both
among the soldiers among their COM
mands and in the local press.
No persons will be permitted to So
licit orders for, or deliver uniforms
to soldiers about to be discharged,
Persons or concerns persisting in
selling uniforms to such soldiers, after
having been warned not to do so, will
not be permitted to come on or dc
business On the reservation"
