FOR PUBLIC PROTECTION

The accident of Sunday afternoon at Bayview
park is to be deplored, and, whether or not there
was any fault connected with it, should be a.
warning to those in charge of the recreation
centre
Bayview in the past has been peculiarly free
from accidents, and for that reason has been ex-
tremely popular with residents and visitors, who
have found much of healthful sport in the waters
of Bayou Texar.
But it is not possible to be too careful in safe
guarding the pleasure-seekers who go to Bayview
for their diversions. When the park was in
charge of the Pensacola Playground committee
every effort was made to see that life was pro-
tected, through the placing at the head of every
department those who were fitted to cope with
its problems.
The Journal does not wish to impute any blame
for the accident of Sunday, but does contend that
every precaution should be taken, and would sug-
gest that Hfe-saving crew be maintained at the
park, in order that assistance be rendered those
in distress, either while boating or bathing
This is the in other cities, has been the
case under other management in Pensacola and
If it is not the case now at Bayview, certainly
some steps should be taken to render the sports
on the bayou less hazardous.

WHY NOT TO-DAY?

The drive for the Salvation Army Home Fund
is tagging, not for any lack of interest, not be-
cause of any serious handicaps, either as to COM
mittees or finances in Pensacola or West Florida,
but rather, it would seem, from sort of misun-
Outstanding which has arisen in the minds of
contributors, who are holding back their contri-
buttons, because no one has called upon them for
subscriptions.
This has been so, more or less in every drive
and has always been detriment to success
There is no more reason why you should wait to
be called upon to give your contribution to the
Salvation Army than the committee should wait
for you to bring it in. One is quite as unreason-
able as the other. But the point is simply this
The committee has its hands full. They are do
ing the very best they can. And they do not ex7
pect you to take your contribution to them, if it
is particularly inconvenient for you to do They
are perfectly willing to send some for it, and
will do so, if humanity possible.
But why not save them the trouble? If you
are going to make your contribution anyhow,
why not write our your check here and now, AM
send it over by the stenographer or the office
cause at the same time?
Or why not take that dollar or that half dollar,
that may seem very little to you but possibly all
you can afford, and take it over to headquarters
and give it with your good wishes for the success
of this drive? A word of good will is cumulative.
Because you are not able to give literally is no
reason why you should not give at all. Give with
a smile. And if you cannot give much, maybe
you can help by going out today to collect from
those who have not time to take in their contri-
buttons
| But the main thing is to GIVE NOW if you are
going to give at ALL 1t is safe to say that if every
man woman who intends to give something to
this fund had already made their contribution
the fund would have been oversubscribed long
ago.
Give today, and give as literally possible, fol-
the Salvation Army Home Service fund.

of them are in congress. Who they are and what
their motives will sooner or later be discerned
But if ever there was time when the men
and women of America needed to study the prin-
ciples of Liberty, if ever they needed to stand
fast TOGETHER for these principles, that hour
is now.
Today money is the cheapest thing in the
United States-the easiest thing to get. Loyalty
is the most precious. In the hour of our coun-.
try's peril stood together. Now let US not dis
integrate and allow the enemy to enter and take
from US that for which our sons and their fore
fathers have died.
Great legal minds have claimed that the reason
for the stability of the constitution of the United
States is ITS ELASTICITY. It is not mass of
detail but it is the expression of great underly-
ing principle, and for that reason it has been able
to cover every issue that this country has faced.
Let us remember that, and let us not read into
that constitution a mass of detail that has no
place there. Let us look to our leaders, and par
ticularly the president of the United States to
STAND BY THE PRINCIPLES of the consti-
tuition, and if the great fundamental principles
are regarded, we may safely trust that in the end
the details may be worked out along perfectly
legitimate lines, if these details do not suit
every person concerned.

Yours in need,
THREE RUCE
Thomas Hornsbv Peril.

She slipt past hooded harbor lights,
Past muffled buoy and lightless quay.
Past silent bars meath silent stars
Out to the silent sea
And no man saw the good ship sail.
She dropt her moorings unaware;
The only word her captain heard
Was the name flashed through the
sky.
Far into lurking sea she went,
The danger laden months passed by,
She kept her way and every day
Her name flashed through the sky
Till hushed one day her distant voice
AS still as bays where shadows sleep,
And on mems lips she joined the ships
That sail the fantom deep.
Fair galleys lost at Salamis
whose ghostlike crews are nlen who
: To haunt a sea at war.

GOVERNMENT TO LEAVE FREIGHT
RATES UP TO PRIVATE
OWNERS.

western Newspaper Union news Service
Washington, Oct S.-The railroad
Administration will make no Increase
In freight rates before return of the
railroads to private operation Jan. 1.
Director General Hines has just
written I. De Witt Cuyler, chairman
of the railway executives, that 1t would
be impossible for the government to
establish any general readjustment of
rates because earnings OF the roads
under the abnormal conditions pre-
vailing In the early part of this year
did not afford fair test of income"
The manifest desire of the public to
have the Interstate Commerce Com
mission exercise full authority In any
reimbursement of rates to be effective
under private control also was cited
by the director general as an objection
10 the Railroad Administrators un-
dertaking such readjustment.
my view," wrote the director gen
eral, 'has been and is that this i'm
pOrtant matter must be handled In ac-
cOrdance with the two following con-
slderations:
"First-The question OF an increase
in rates could not properly be cOnsid-
cred on the exclusive basis Of the un-
favorable showing which the Railroads
Administration was making in the
early part of this year, because that
showing was very largely due to an
abnorInally small freight business.
"Second-It has seemed to me that
the public would not be satisfied I'M
der existing conditions to have any
general Increase In rates put into eff
feet without the concurrence Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
"Since the foregoing controlling fac
tors must be respected, It IL evident
that II would be Impossible for the
government to establish any general
readjustment OF rates prior to Jan. !,
1870. 1t Is also evident that the new
basis to be established for the future
should naturally be considered, not
from the standpoint of unified opera
ton of all the railroads, but to great
er extent from the standpoint OF the
necessities of the separate railroads.
II, therefore, see no escape from
the conclusion that II the corporations
desire to make progress at this time
with this matter, they enter them
selves upon study of the problem
to determine what tariffs they think
ought to be proposed, with a view to
filing tariffs accordingly with the ap-
propriate public authority"

HEAVY FIRE TRUCKS SMASH

WRECK UNAVOIDABLE
WORST ACCIDENT OF ITS KIND
IN DENVER IN MANY
YEARS.

Denver, Oct. 11.-One young WON
an was probably fatally injured. si1
flremen were hurt, one seriously, and
scores of bystanders had their lives
endangered when two automobile firt

section of Seventeenth and Blake
streets In this city.

raced their machines through the
downtown streets.
Truck No. 4 was heading down
Seventeenth street and truck was
coming up Blake street, both travelling
at terrific rate. Neither Driver
George Lucock OF truck nor c. j
Van Slack of truck 8 realized the
nearness OF each other and the two
machines arrived at the intersection
to the second.
Realizing that collision was i'm
minent, both drivers veered theil
trucks in opposite directions, an act
which probably saved many lives, but
even after swerving, the two ma
chimes sideswiped each other with ter
rifle force, causing truck to turn
over, while truck 6 continued a head
long advance over the curbstone and
into the doors Of cigar store owned
by N. Perlman.

troops under the command of Gen.
Won Der Goltz, whose recall from the
Baltic provinces was demanded by the
allies and ordered by the German gov
eminent, have been making their way
back into Germany.
A recent report out of Petrograd
stated that Won Der Goltz, who at one
time declared that his army of 2OO,OOO

The move on Riga is not only In
direct defiance of the demands of the
allied powers recently presented to
the government In Berlin, but also in
defiance of the Berlin leaders, who In
reply to a note from Paris reported
that Won Der Goltz had been ordered
to demobilize his forces and return to
Germany. A crisis has been feared on
the eastern front for weeks.
