WELCOME TO PENSACOLA.


| To members of the Florida Fourth
Estate-Greeting!
The Journal in behalf Of the people
Of Pensacola bids you welcome. TIC
each and every member of the Florida
Press Association, families and friends
here in convention assembled, The
Journal extends its personal word Of
greeting. and expresses the hope that
the sessions may be of value and the
Irecreations planned may prove pleas
ant and diverting.
There Is no organization in the
state which has done more for the adj
vancement Of Florida than has the
State Press Association. and the peo-
pie Of Pensacola, with the people OF
other sections Of the state. are not un-
mindful of this proven fact.
But in meeting in Pensacola, the edi-
tors of Florida have come to discuss
matters of special import to the press
of this state. For the past decade the
price OF every commodity that goes
into the making OF newspaper has
steadily risen, until today the price OF
newsprint, ink. machinery and labor
has reached such a height as to have
placed many of the newspapers Of the
state with their backs to the wall,
fighting for their very existence.
The members of the press associa-
ton will discuss the various phases OF
their business and after the sessions
will devote the hours to relaxation.
These men and women have led a
strenuous life for the past few years.
and they need to let go bit, to re-
lax and play for at least a few hours.
The Journal believes that we have
here in our city on the Gulf many in
members and many diverting expert
|eaces to offer. whether it be dip in
the gulf of Mexico or a ride in one OF
Uncle Sans sea- planes.
Every visitor to Pensacola is well
come, but the members Of the Fourth
Estate are doubly so. During the past
few years the newspapers of the state
have banded together AN army of adj
vancement. with the principles of lib
erty as their guide, and they have done
much to uphold the honor of the state
and the commonwealth.
We cannot pay to them too high
honor, and our sincere wish is that
they may find their meetings of the
utmost assistance in the coming years
Work, anu the HOurS OIL recreation as
pleasant as the people of Pensacola
have planned that they should be.
The people of the state have many
interests in common. Each year they
are growing into closer union. May
the state press meeting in Pensacola
prove one of the strongest links in the
chain that should bind the cities and
counties of Florida closer together in a
common bond Of interest and friendli-
ness.

PENsAcoLA,s PART.

Not in many years, If ever, has such
an opportunity for nationwide public
ity presented itself to the people OF
Florida as in the meeting OF the Ma
tional Editorial Association, which
convenes in Florida next March.
Among the members of the Press
Association who is attending the con
vention in Pensacola, Is George F.
Hosmer. of the Manatee Record. to
whose influence the state largely in
debted for the coming convention OF
the editorial association.
The association numbers 5000 mem
bers. about one tenth of which mem
bership usually attends the meetings
Florda hopes to see that number
greatly increased, and to that end 1t
has been suggested that Florida make
1t a point to break all records for at
tendance. In this connection The Jour-
nal would suggest that the Pensacola
Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary and
the Kiwanis Clubs could do nothing of
greater value than to aid in this at
tempt to get the largest possible rep
presentation in Florida next year. Steps
might Immediately be taken, by getting
the names of every member of the as
ISOLATION, and when the proper time
comes. sending them an urgent invita-
ton to attend meeting. accompany
ing this invitation with Florida pub
licity, particularly that which pertains
to Pensacola.
While the program has not been ar
ranged. 1t is believed that in choosing
Florida, the intention is to tour the
state from one end to the other, start
s,~~~ - A.
Tallahassee and Jacksonville, then
down the East Coast to st. Augustine.
Daytona, Palm Beach. and Miami,
thence to Key West and by boat to
Tampa, st. Petersburg and West Coast
points. Automobile tours through mid
die Florida will probably also be ar
ranged.
Five members OF the association were
present at the meeting In Boston, when
the convention was secured. They
worked with jealous interest to gain
the consent Of the members to come
to Florida next winter. winning over
both News Orleans and st. Louis.
The Editorial Association is an old
and important organization which has
it within its power to do much for this
state in the way of publicity. There is
no state in the union which has been
so Disseminated against by the north
ern press as has Florida, and the plan
of covering the state, will do much to
correct this false impression and is
bound to promote the development of
every section of this state.
The articles which will be written
and published about Florida will be
the best possible advertising. The en-
tire state can but benefit, and every
effort should be made not only to well
come the members Of the association
in fitting manner, but to put for
ward the very best that this state has
to offer so that the publicity which
we receive may be of the highest possi-
BILE order.

Press Comment
Many Florida Babies Died.

The vital statistics report OF Flor
ida as compiled by DR.. S. G. Thomp-
son, statistician of the State Board OF
Health, shows that 1,947 babies under
one year Of age died during the year
of 1919 and that 3,427 under five died
during that year, says bulletin from
the director Of publicity.
How many of these deaths are due
to lack Of training on the part of the
mothers? ?" asks the State Board of
Health. More than they would care
to estimate Under the direction of
the Bureau Of Child Welfare mothers
are being educated. They are taught
the Importance Of allowing their chill
dren to be normal. Pamphlets on child
welfare are sent to parents on request.
ALSO in the Bureau of Vital Statis-
tics are books on the care of the baby.
which health authorities have agreed
are of the best In the United States.
These books are sent to young moth
ers Immediately on receipt Of a birth
certificate together with statement
assuring the mother that her baby's
birth has been properly recorded and
filed."-Miami Metropolis.

AS TO POTATO SHIPMENTS.

carried on its editorial page COM
munication from J. Lee Smith, County
Agricultural Agent, in which he refers
to criticism of the farmers of this
county, on account of their shipments
of Irish potatoes to northern markets.
The letter from Mr.. Smith is strong
plea for the rights of the farmer and
every point is well taken. II the farm
ers OF Escambia county can get better
prices for their potatoes by. shipping
them to northern markets. how can
there possibly be any room for criti-
cism?
Nothing could possibly be more
short-sighted than the effort that is
being made to confine the sale of vege-
tables to this one section. For years
