SYMPATHY FOR SISTER CITY.

The heart of Pensacola goes out to Mobile in
its hour of great distress. Mobile has already
announced that no outside agencies will be called
upon for aid, and that the people of Mobile are
able to cope with the emergency.
Pensacola with other southern cities, stands
ready to aid Mobile in any possible way, while
admiring the fine spirit expressed in the follow
ing editorial from the Register:
Mobile is taking up the work of providing for
the wants of those who are sufferers from the
destructive conflagration of Wednesday, Our
people assume this responsibility and fell that
they are equal to it. No outside help is required
nor viii any be asked for. The big and generous
heart of Mobile responds to the call. Every one
viii do his part.
s'The whole community has immense sympathy
for the distressed. Words cannot describe the
extent of the pain, embarrassment, heart trouble
and deep sense of loss that affects hundreds of
our people, sufferers from the devastating ele-
ment; homes destroyed, property consumed
unique and cherished belongings lost, shelter
gone, comfort replaced by greatest discomfort,
and often even the necessary clothing missing;
only the greatest fortitude and courage carry
the victims through the bitter ordeal We have,
however, the spectacle of people braveIy meet
ing their trouble and fighting their way through
it, and we feel sure that the community viii rally
to their assistance and as far as is humanity pos
sible relieve them of their distress

to look after the root rot of sugar
cane and the tobacco flea. The amend
ment carried an appropriation of $25,-
600 for this purpose. but it was swal-
lowed by the house to save the canker
appropriation.
Some people were surprised that
Mr.. Wilson, Mr. Strom's colleague,
votad AGAINST it.
The following day when the bill
was up the last time, and the oppo-
sition had forced the advocates of the
bill to permit one cent box tax on
citrus fruit for the purpose of help
ing to pay the expense of eradication,
Mr.. Strom asked that the vote by
which his $4,000 amendment had
passed be reconsidered.
In support of this reconsideration.
Mr.. Wilson said it was seldom that
he felt called upon to oppose his col
league on the floor of the house or
out of it, but that he had informed
him before he introduced that amend
ment that he would vote against it,
and he had done SO. That the people
of his county were not asking any
help from the state. They did not
need it, nor did not want it.
The vote on the amendment was re-

UNIONS SPEAK FOR LABOR.

voice. individuals have opinions, but the col
lective mind demands organized expression.
The sneer about 100000 unionists speaking
for 100000 unorganized workers turns easily
into sneer at the claim of voters to express the
democratic will. Children, unnaturalized and
other non-voters may disagree as individuals
with the will of the voters, but their individual
differences with each other are greater. Had
their mass mind means of formulation and ex-
preston it would, in general, coincide with the
expression of the voters.
The illustration limps and falls short. Labor
is more homogeneous than the general citizen
ship It's interests, opinions and desires are more
nearly Identical
Unions represented labor when they had but
five or three or even one per cent organized
The policies they expressed with 100000 mem
bers drew to them 100000 more. They could
give no more convincing proof of approval. Or
ganizing the 100000 more would not change
the policies.
The unions represent all labor in industrial
struggles That ten per cent in union have
thousands of times called, conducted and won
strikes with the consent and loyal allegiance of
the remaining go per cent does not prove in
timidation but that the unions voiced the aspira-
tions of ALL Denouncing such a situation is mere
ly scolding facts.
Union demands are the universal demands of
labor. The unions of England, France, Italy and
all the rest of the world announce the same prin-
ciples and follow the same aims as those of the
United States. Everywhere unions ask shorter
hours, higher wages, leisure and education for
children democratic institutions and voice in
determining the conditions of labor in industry.
On these labor everywhere is agreed. They have
been written into the great peace treaty. Where
they have been gained it has been through the
unions, by the of the union shop, the strike,
and collective bargaining.
Unorganized labor never lacks for volunteer
spokesman. who always assert their greater fit
ness as representatives of its opinion than the
millions who are organized. These spokesman
were pretty certain that labor was disloyal. The
unions affirmed their loyalty. The result showed
that again the unions spoke the voice of the
great mass of labor, organized unorganized.
These same spokesman now tell US that the I'M
organized workers are turning to Bolshevism.
They assure US that non-union labor is In revolt
against the conservatism" of the unions. The
truth is, that, for better worse, the organized
workers are always the most progressive, but
they are not irresponsible fanatics. They are not
Bolshevists. The future will show that they are
representative of all labor.
Reactionary employers and radical demagogues
agree that unions do not represent labor. The
experience of half century proves them wrong.
What the unions think and do today all labor
thinks and does tomorrow.

NO INCIDENT in the capita-labor conference now in

SEEING THE WORLD WITH

Navy offers him opportunities for
reaching the top if he concludes to
stay in the service
On man of war these days the sail

OF seeing the world in exchange for
his services, with pay and excellent
keep, but he is provided with every
Facility OF seeing everything in a profit
able way. There is plenty of liberty
and before he goes ashore the Navy
sees, by placing the most attractive
and comprehensive literature in his
hands, that he knows what to see and
how to see it. The Navy sends a
young man around the world these
days with a guide book of its own
making.
Travel is the best finishing touch
young man can add to his A. B.,
or to his school acquired knowledge
even if he hasn't the A. B. The world
happens to be very interesting place
these days and there is more to see
than ever. 1t so happens that the
conditions of the time demand the
cruising of the ships of the Navy. The
young man who goes in the service
these days does see the world There
is no backing up rivers and secluded

A SPITEFUL ATTACK

Estate Register, Laurel. Del. Oct. 25)
The spiteful attack made upon p s
dupont and the School Code. which
appeared in several of the subsidized
newspapers last week, bears the ear
marks of the press agenting which
was carried on last year by a clique
working for would-be politician who
knew nothing but hate, and was will
ing to spend millions to satisfy his
hatred This hatred still exists and
this man is willing to spend millions
to thwart the purposes of one who
seeks to spend millions for the good
of his State.
The propogandists are working to
obtain the ends of this purYeyor of
hate, even at the cost of the education
Of the children of our State and the
papers who sell their editorial COL
umns for the mere pittance of a few
shekels OF silver are guilty of the
same crime and in the end will no
doubt see their mistake.
In one of these papers the writer
mas called for straw vote of Sussex
countians regarding the school code
and makes a prediction that the code
would be defeated by large majority. |
This cannot be fact at this time, for
the people Of Sussex county are be-
coming more enlightened each day in
regard to better education, despite
the rawlings of one who cares not for
The future Of our boys and girls but
only cares to satisfy his venomous
