BRIGHTER BRITAIN.

The Tribune takes time to wonder what will
happen when all women get the right to vote.
Just what happens wherever women now have
tions all the world over.
The Tribune man might take day off and
find out what has already happened where wom-
en- have the ballot. 1t is interesting reading.
Take New Zealand for example, where the wom-
en- have had the vote for years.
That's where the Ansacs come from, and down
in New Zealand are the happiest, most content
ed people in the world. In December, 1914, there
were six banks of issue doing business and the
average amount on deposit was about S139,0OO,-
900; on December 81, 1914, every two persons in
New Zealand had savings account.
But New Zealand has something better than
money in the bank. 1t has children in the home.
Through the Infant Life Protection Act New
Zealand women have saved the babies as the
women of no other country have saved them In
New Zealand 949 babies per thousand LIVE
only fifty-one out of thousand die. In the
United States 876 out of thousand live and 124
die In Dunedin, one of New Zealand's largest
cities, only thirty eight babies die, per thousand.
1t is the healthiest baby city in the world
New Zealand women have stood back of the
effort to establish technical schools, giving equal
cure scientific temperance instruction in the
schools as we'll as measures for the general rails
ing of the standards of public instruction.
In 1911 the standard of literacy in New Zea-
land was brought to the point where there was
no such thing as illiteracy in the length and
breadth of the land. At the age period of fif-
teen to twenty, 90 IL of the whole population
could read and write.
A wife may divorce her husband on the same
grounds on which husband may divorce wife.
Divorce is also granted to a wife or husband
for wilfuI desertion for five years, for drunken
ness, and in the case of the wife, for failure to
support, and for cruelty in the of either wife
or husband These laws have equilized the stand
ards of morality in New Zealand to a remark
able degree.
The vote of the men in New Zealand is "a per
cent and the vote of the women 80 per cent. AS
the men have long had the privilege of voting
and the women have recently been initiated, even
the scoffers must admit that there is no evidence
in New Zealand that the women are backward
about casting their ballots, and certainly New
Zealand men are not the ones to deny that the
woman's vote has done much to make New Zea-
land what it is acknowledged to be: The Most
Comfortable Place in the World to Live, where
they have few labor troubles, and where the Boil
shevists have been beaten by twenty-five years
For it was a quarter century ago that New Lea-
land began to revolutonize itself into the Bright
err Britain, as it is Familiarity called.

HIGH DENSITY COMPRESS.

Prospects seems good for high density cot
ton compress for Pensacola, but it will require
the cooperative effort of the business men to
make these prospects materialize.
That Pensacola's harbor is its greatest asset
goes without saying. But what do assets profit
a man or port unless they are utilized? The
shippers of Pensacola have expressed themselves
as favorable to the erection of high density
cotton compress at Pensacola, and realize its I'M
portance to port development.
American ships will not take cotton COM
pressed in the old way. Shippers say there will
be no difficulty in securing ships for this port
provided the cargo may be secured. The hlgn
density compress would open this port in Won
derful way.
Other ports are over-crowded in handling cot
ton it is claimed, and the erection of such COM
press would be great thing for this section, as
it would mean not only the labor in handling the
cotton and operating the plant, but it would
mean a large amount of work along the water
front in handling ships, and also large amount
of business to those furnishing fuel and other
supplies.

THE REAL SPIRIT.

Patriotism is no longer mere word-glibly
spoken and easily forgot. 1t is the essence of
what we term today Americanism, it is the bone
and blood of a nation.
Pensacola and patriotism have become indis-
solubly linked together during the years of the
war, and loyalty to country has been expressed
in varying but unmistakable ways. The army
and the navy have been always a part of the life
of Pensacola, even since those early days of
Spanish occupation, and civilian and service life
have been closely allied. But perhaps the close
cooperation of city and service was never more
emphasized than in the great celebration of the
Fourth of July, when the army and the navy
Joined hands with the city in making the indie
pendence celebration memorable as an observ-
ance to honor the men who gave their lives for
their country.
For to give ones life for ones country does
not mean merely to die on the field of battle One
may just surely offer up his life in service in
camp flying field, where life is risked with
each passing hour and sacrifice and service are
ones~
One of the things which stand out against the
background of the war, as related to Pensacola
is the wonderful response during the world war,
from the army and the navy, whenever there was
call for patriots.
These men had offered their lives for freedom,
they awaited government orders. That would
seem to be enough. And yet without hesitation
the army and the navy, the marines and the
aviation, threw themselves, heart and soul, into
every movement which stood for those standards
for which they fought, those ideals to which
they were consecrated.
The war is practically at end But the
joint celebration of July the Fourth is not per-
iod at the end of chapter of history Rather
is it the heading of new story-a story of CO.
operation, of loyal and friendly support, of that
new comradeship that the war has brought
about.
= The celebration of July Fourth some
thing more than an observance, it was, in itB
way, pledge. It not only honored the dead and
paid it's tribute to the living but it stood for the
future-it did more than this-it cemented the
bond of comradeship between service and civil
ian, comradeship not only marked by social in
tercourse, but which against the background of
war work, spells future cooperation which will
mean much for the spirit of true patriotism that
will ge far towards building greater Pensacola

STABLE FINANCES.

Pensacola has made wonderful record in
many ways during the past few years, but par
ticularly has its financial development been not
able. In spite of the many handicaps which it
has suffered, along with other southern cities,
it has good financial rating throughout the
country. This fact stressed at the recent
sale of time warrants in connection with the
educational improvements in the county, these
warrants selling above par, bringing a premium
of S1,700. One of the best evidences of the sta
bility of any county or community sthe readi-
ness with which its bonds placed, and the
premium that these bonds or time warrants
bring.
The fact that some of the best houses in the
country are bidding on our paper, is indication
of the fact that not only the potentiaities of
this port and back country recognized, but that
at the present time its securities are sold at par
in the markets.

THE 1CAIL OF THE WOMAN'S

We hear of The Call of the West
The Call" OF this, that and the other
hut louder and more insistent than
them all is the call of the Woman's
Home-to the people of Pensacola for
q better home than the present, a
home properly equipped, properly pro-
vided for financially-a home where
each woman can have room to her
self instead of two or three persons
being crowded into one room-a home
that will do credit to the generosity
and thoughtfulness of the people of
our city.
We need strong men and women too.

man of the city present at the last
meeting of the managers on July 1.
He represented other business men Of
Pensacola and he sought to acquaint
himself with the conditions existing
in the home, its needs, financial and
otherwise. He spoke of having the
home shelter old men as Wei as old
women but that would never do. An
institution that would care for cid men
would indeed be a blessing Let Us
hope that such a home may be built
in the near future but IL is not yet.
