BRIDGING THE EsCAMBIA.

The following editorial from the Milton Ga
zette gives very clear idea as to the views OF
the more progressive people of Santa Rosa
county in regard to the bridge across the Esam-
bia:
'Mr. DeLoach suggests that bridging the
Escambia is infeasible on account of wind
storms. However, in this connection we might
note that many larger streams than the Escam-
bia have been successfully bridged in this gulf
coast country, with bridges that are so con-
structed as to be safe from storm and tides. Mr..
DeLoach further suggests the use of ferries for
transporting traffic across this barrier. How
ever, if we are correctly informed, the obstruct-
ing of traffic by a ferry will practically debar
the county from securing government aid in
structing roads over such routes, which, in this
case would mean direct loss from that source
alone of 100000 the government has promised
in case the proposed bond issue carries in special
district No. 8. Further the proposition suggest
ed by Mr.. DeLoach contemplates the two
ties expanding $4,000 for proper ferry boats,
which lacks but $12,500 for each county of equal
ing the amount contemplated for the construc-
ton of the proposed bridge. This proposition
also fails to take into consideration the expense
of operating such ferries, which item would
amount to thousands of dollars annually, whether
paid by the counties in order to furnish a free
ferry or by the travelling public sa toll. When
the matter is considered in all it's phases, we be-
lieve that Mr. DeLoach as well as all other think
ing citizens will concede that the time has come
when Santa Rosa citizens, or that portion of
them residing in the proposed special road and
bridge district should lay aside personal mat
ters and join Escambia county, the state of
Florida and the United States government in the
construction of our part of great national high
way that will be of untold value to the people of
this special district, well of the county
a whole. Especially is this true, when will be
called upon to pay but twenty-five per cent of the
total cost of this bridge, and but fifty per cent
of the total cost of the roadway leading to it,

TO RISE ABOVE CONDITIONS.

A reading of the life of Theodore Thomas, the
musician, reveals a great and simple lesson for
any young man in any profession, trade or field
of endeavor.~
Thomas came to America as mere boy, and
was forced not only to earn his own living, but
to contribute to the family support.
This he did by playing the violin at entertain
ments about New York.
Like good many of US he did not like his job
and the prospect for anything better was very
dark.
His sensitive soul revolted against the class of
music he was forced to play.
But he schooled his will to rise above it; he,
imagined himself practicing and through all the
long, weary hours of those all-nght affairs he
drew his tone pure and clear.
It is stated that here he acquired the sense of
rhythm that characterized the work of the great
orchestras which he afterward directed.
His next work was in a Bowery theatre, where
Shakespeare was produced and when the other
musicians went out during rests to drink and
smoke and gossip Thomas stayed in the orchestra
pit to listen to and study the lines.
Then he went down south on horseback, CIV
ing concerts for the most part in hotel dining
rooms, but matter how small the audience or
how low the admission fee he gave good con-
ley's worth.
In 1851 he made second concertmaster of
the Italian Opera Company of New York. The
stars of this organization were Jennie Lind and
Henriette Sontag, perhaps two of the finest nat
ural singers that the world has ever produced.
Night after night young Thomas sat and lis
tened to those two women and trying at every
note to initiate their pure flute-ke tones on his
violin.
1t was through this experience that Thomas in
after life recommended that all singers study
the violin and that all vioinists study singing
Thomas was finally made concertmaster of
this organization opportunity - luck = always
seems to come to man who studies and works
for through the sudden illness of the director he
finally succeeded to that position.
Theodore Thomas took many large musical or
CARNATIONS across the continent numbers of
times and amid many discouragements and fl
nancial loss in his early days; but he did more
for the musical education of America than any
man that ever lived.
He realized all his lifes ambition
His was finally one of the three best orchestras
in the world and it was finally installed in per-
manent hall of its own.
His work and study ended only few days be-
fore his death.

THE HOPE OF THE WORLD.

Whatever else we may say of the world war,
however great its evils how terrible its results,
however questionable the future outlook, no one
can deny the great awakening which has follow
ed in the path of the awful carnage.
Many who were at the front have come out of
the war with clearer conception of the duties
of peace.
young man recently returned from the front,
when asked if he would like to go back again,
said 81 would not take million dollars for the
experience have had, and would not give a
dime to go through with it the second time"
This boy, when he entered the war was turned
down at first, but later he got by, in the second
draft, as he was merely in rundown condition.
He returned to the United States the very pic
ture of health He is going back again into Of
flee work, and in all probability, within year
he will have lost much, if not all that he has
gained, of physical benefit.
But ne will not lose all the benefit gained, by
any means.
The war took many like this boy and made
men of them. They have come back to the
United States cleaner, finer, better men in every
way.
They have come back with new interests, many
of thenl and with new understanding Some of
these men were born in homes of wealth. They
had never done any manual labor, they had
never known what it was not to crafty every
within. They had led careless, if not dssolute
lives. When they went into the army they
learned what obedience to authority meant, they
knew what it was to be tired, to be hungry, to
be heartsick
Side by side with them were the boys who had
always known what it was to work. Boys who
had hardly ever known anything but work and
responsibility.
If the selective draft did nothing else, it GER
tainly tore down some barriers in the United
States that needed to be torn down. They will
Dnever be erected again. The me nwho went to
the front, who fought together for freedom, will
always be brothers in arms. They cannot get
away from it. They do not want to get away
from it. 1t is these men who are going to save
the world for democracy. 1t is these men who
have found hereal meaning of freedom. And
these men are the hope of the world.
The soldiers who went to the front are the men
who are going to control politics in this country.
They have come back with that determination.
And they going to make dreams come true.
They are going to make the Unite Estates a real
republic.

At last the Hon. J. Hampton Jones
has found an appropriation bill that
he could vote for. He tried to help
his colleague pass through the house
a pension relief bill for an old soldier
in his county. The effort was no
doubt worthy one, and many of the
members would have liked to comply
with the wishes of the Nassau gentle
men, but there was more danger in
it than the passage of the two mill

of his life in fairness in combat. He
never hits below the belt and declares
he would rather lose a good fight
than win a meritorious cause by
abuse of official power.

resentative of the only county thus
far heard from that has not asked
for a single local ball at this session

Twas Oh New Years day in the
afternoon, and sister says let's GO

cold this year as il vas in the year
that is old and dear.
So she takes her sweater off the
hook, and then in the glass she
takes look. Then she buttons one,
two, three, but when she buttons the
fourth she eXclaims oh, dear!
Oh see what is in my sweater old,
| know its a bug for it feels so
cold. So mamma with the scissors
and J with knife, thought we
would rip the sweater and get the
bug out.
But no we could not do that this
year, for yarn is expensive, ! fear.
So we searched and finally find
hole, and we know right away that
is its route.
So we poke and wiggle it and
squeeze IT back. for its hiding place
