FOR PUBLIC HEALTH.


At a meeting Of the city commissioners yes
terday, DIR. O. H. Cox, past surgeon Of the United
States public health service, made report on
the work which is needed in Pensacola, that
which has been accomplished, and that which is
planned for the future.
Among other things, DR.. Cox said: .'In many
ways, progress along public health lines has been
made. It is more apparent to those active in the
work. Still, it is evident to anyone who thinks
and looks. To have the majority Of the people
know these things and act intelligently. in con-
junction, to further matters, would be ac-
complishment greatly to be desired. Pensacola
and Escambia county must proceed in the spirit
of the times.
'In the light of what has existed and what
has been done so far. there appear several rea-
sons why something definite must be organized,
which will promote the health Of the community.
Let US enumerate these:
'It is the sign Of progress to 50 organize.
The times demand more thought on the part
Of those in authority for those who elect them.
''When town becomes city stricter regula-
ton of individual action becomes necessary.
'You have had it demonstrated to you that
sanitation pays.
'sThe people who have borne the cost and trou-
BILE Of certain improvements will now demand
ssThe center and driving force Of your needed
organization will be health officer in the shape
Of man who knows what to do and how and
when to do it. He should be the sanitary ex-
pert on whom you can depend for advice on all
civic affairs into which the question Of health
enters. This means that he viii need to give all
his time to the affairs Of his department. You
may think that such person cannot be found.
Create the position and then the man will be
found. Once he has authority to act the indi-
Gated personnel can be found and trained under
him. The question Of expense enters here. AS
has been shown above, the percentage system
can be used as applied to annual income, or you
can settle on so cents to 81 per capita as the
need seems most indicated.
"a desirable health officer could hardly be
found for less than $4,000 per year with main
tenance Of car in addition. But bear in mind
that the state board has appropriated $1,000 to-
ward this in order that he may serve the health
possibly be another source. 81 skhallodshrdlueta
needs Of Escambia county"
More and more is the public waking to the
realization that in order to protect the health Of
the people, the work of the health department
must be placed in he hands of one competent
man, who will devote his entire time to this work.
The city and county are growing and the needs
of both must be met.
Upon the sanitation of any section largely de-
ponds it's development. The more clearly do we
realize this, the more quickly shall we take our
rightful place in the procession of progress.

y hero to greet his friends and ascer-
tam what he can do for his people
a1fer he goes to washington. His term
OF once began on March Z last.
Asked how It felt to be . congress-
man. he said. '.Just exactly like Il
Ieeis 70 be . Florida cracker there's
not any difference" Mr.. Smithwick
VIII stay here till Congressman Frank
Clark arrives. Mr.. Clark has written
Nj. Smithwick that he would be here
early this week and the latter has de-
caded to wait at the capital till the
distinguished gentleman from the Sec
ond arrives.
Hon. william A. Blount Of Pensa-
coi1. was here for . few hours Sat-
urday on legal business. He - look
inG well and enjoyed greeting mum
erous acQuaintances that he has here
among the residents Of Tallahassee
and the members Of the legislature.
Members OF the legislature who re-
side at the Leon hotel and have been
guests OF that delightful old hosiery in
the past were pleased to hear today
that ]. A. (Buck) Peel, the former
night clerk who has been serving in
the American Expeditionary Forces in
france, has arrived in New York and
VIII soon be back In Tallahassee.
One member Of the senate who IL not
happy unless he is punning says he
has figured out that the only thing
to do Is to take the Bull-shevik by
the horns.
The house committee to which the
measure was referred has decided to
report fAvorably the child welfare bill
which provides for county commission
ers to pension dependent mothers.
Discussion Of the matter with var
iouS members leads the correspondent
to believe that there is little chance
OF a constitutional convention even
being submitted to the people at this
session. The cost OF the proposed
convention will kill it. Already ap.
preparations asked for total up into
the millions and q resolution pIedging
economy had been adopted. It is said
that q constitutional convention will
cost almost as much as q session OF
the legislature. AS one senator re-
marked, all you have to do to defeat
that resolution Is to get up and repeat
the words zone hundred and fifty
thousand dollars" over and over just
before the vote IS taken.
An athletic bill that will permit
boxing, another to allow Horse racing
at fairs and . general law permitting
Sunday baseball In cities OF a. given
population or over are all being talked
about here and may be introduced dur
ing the session.

PAN-AMERICAN SOCIALIST CONFERENCE.

PAN-AMERICAN SOCIALIST CONFERENCE.
Nearly AL Of the countries Of the western
hemisphere are expected to be represented at the
Pan-American Socialist Conference, which is to
assemble in Buenos Aires April Is. The confer
ence was to have been held earlier in the year,
but it was postponed because Of conditions
brought about as q consequence of the general
strike in Buenos Aires.
The chief aim Of the conference win be to
agree upon program looking to the amalgama-
ton into one body Of al the socialist and labor
organizations Of the two Americas. The promo
tiers realize the fact that with regards to the
United States and Canada there is little imme-
date prospect Of bringing together the socialist
and labor organizations, but it is hoped in time
to bring them into closer relationship. In
Mexico and in the countries Of Central and South
America the same difficulties are not likely to
be encountered, for in the Latin American coun-
tries the socialist and labor organizations are
virtually Identical in their aims and purposes.
The conference is openly planned to be for di-
rect political purposes It is intended to strength
en- the purpose Of the socialists in South and Cen
trail America to overthrow existing governments,
and to set up new regimes. modelled to large ex-
tent upon the Russian plan.
During the recent general strike in Buenos
Aires evidence was brought to light indicating
direct connection between the Russian leaders
and tho socialist organization in Argentina. Rus
sian agents have been travelling freely through
out South America and there is reason to believe
that Lenine and his associates in Russia helped
to finance the Buenos Aires strike.
The coming conference is expected to show for
the first time the strength Of the socialist
lutionary element in the South American repub-
lies. That the socialists have been rapidly in.
creasing in strength and influence during the
past few years is fact 50 well known that it
has given much concern to the established au-
thorities. Buenos Aires Is regarded as the CEN
ter of the socialist organization In the southern
hemisphere.

EXAMPLE OF TRANSPORTATION

EXAMPLE OF TRANSPORTATION.
The japanese. who are supposed to be imita-
tive. have set an example in the line Of trans
portation that is unique.
Last fall the imperial railways raised passen-
ger and freight rates 90 per cent. In answer to
the criticism this move provoked and also to win
back traffic that was diverted to water routes
the managers of the railways, early this year,
offered to guarantee promptitude in every
branch Of their service or make refund to the
patrons of the railways in accordance with the
extent Of the delay to which they were subject
ed.
Now. if shipper dispatches freight from
Toxic to Osaka he may get q guarantee from the
railway if he so desires that his goods win be
delivered to the consisnee on schedule time, that
is, six days later. A patron travelling by pas
senger train may obtain guarantee Of delivery Of
his baggage at Osaka within four days IF the
railway fails to keep its contract the patron may
collect 10 per cent rebate for the first two days
his baggage or freight Is overdue and 10 per cent
more for the next ten days and 30 on until the
company makes delivery.
Japan railways do not have the volume of
freight of American systems, but their troubles
are as many if not more. While the bulk Of the
traffic Is on the main island considerable por-
ton is with the other islands Of the archipelago
In making up their schedule the managers Of the
Imperial railways have had to take into account
the time required not only for loading and for
carriage on the main line but. when the goods 80
