aroused much interest and has slim
ulated the children to fairer play and
greater endeavor
The health possibilities for children
in Pensacola are particularly good at
this time, because of the health cam
paign which was carried on in Pensa-
cola about year ago. at which time
every school in the city. and every
neighborhood was under examination
by the state board of health. The
conditions at the schools were far
from what they should have been
at this time, because the crowding
was such that the sanitary facilities
were necessarily inadequate. Pensa-
cola was not the only city which came
under examination at this time, as
the examination of its schools was
simply part of the welfare work
instituted by the state. But the fact
that this campaign came at a time
when Pensacola was getting ready to
enlarge and improve its schools. and
was raising a fund for this purpose,
made it possible to greatly profit by
the state campaign, and to make many
sanitary improvements. The splendid
sewerage SYSTEM llduBuldtcu Ch-
saeola years ago, also aids in this
direction.
While Pensacola deserves no special
credit for it's healthful location and
pure water, these certainly may be
counted in as assets. The community
work in Pensacola and the fact that
this city has an excellent Juvenile
officer, throws protection about the
youth of the city which is helpful
to the community life. With good
schools, organized play, young peoples
clubs in all the churches, and with
Pensacola known as city of churches,
the social and religious opportunities
in this city are excellent. In housing
facilities, Penacola probably compares
fairly well with other cities in the
state. but nevertheless falls far short
of what these facilities should be.
The opportunities for the child in
Pensacola are good. That they might
be much better no one can deny. That
they will improve, with the feminine
influence exerted upon civic affairs
is certain.

Press Comment
Old II. C. l..

Even the most serious subjects have
their humorous sides. Editors through
out the country have penned both Sc
rious and humorous paragraphs about
the high cost of living Both kinds of
writing have been well received by mo-
ton picture patrons when shown on
the screen in the Literary Digest
Topics of the Day" This time We
are touching on the lighter vein and
present the following smile stuff:
Since my wife started to fight the
high cost of living she peels potatoes
with my safety razor.-New Orleans,
La, State.
Hair cuts will soon cost so much
that they will be performed by sur
geons and called operations.-New
York World.
We should worry about wearing
patches on our pants; advancing
prices have us with our backs to the
wall, anyway.-Brooklyn Eagle.

dence Tribune.

fore 1t was referred to the people for
a vote, but now they come out and
declare it unconstitutional. The Trib
une is proving further that these sam
men are either directly or indirectly
interested in monies or jobs handed
out by the city at the present time
and if the commission form loses they
will be all clover and If it wins they
stand a chance of being cut out of
the pie and soft jobs. Another thing
which should impress the people of
Tampa is that with the commission
form of government, they are simply
employing a man to represent them
and look after their interests just the
same as a corporation employs men
to take charge of certain departments.
If they don't suit, they can be fired,
and knowing this the employees of the
people will be mighty, careful of what
is done. Added to this, Tampa will
get rid of that stencil that hangs over
it's head with reference to graft in
cemeteries, scandals and mix ups in
the police department, sanitary rumb-
lings and tax collector shortages, and
especially the special favors that have
been shown those who line up with
the political administration to put
over some of the dirtiest things that
have ever happened ini any town in
the South. Tampa people generally
have not approved of what has oeen
handed them, but the rotten ring there
had such a control that they could
not help themselves. One example
of how special favors have been shown
has just come to light when it has
been learned that one member of the
council, without permission officially
from anyone. went ahead and erected
a building on city property or on prop
erty he had no right to at least-there
is no telling how many such things
have transpired in Tampa under that
same regime and they are just Begin
ming to come to light. If the people
of Tampa will vote for commission
government they will vote to clean out
such a gang and such things as this
will not transpire again. If commits
sion government fails any place it is
because politicians and selfish. de-
signing persons with method in their
madness, work the situation them
selves. Then it is time for the people
to take hold and clean house.-Lake-
land Star.

Florida Is Prompt.

You must give it to those Florida
boosters for being on the job all the
time. They had strong delegation
at Boston in June to urge the Ma
tional Editorial Association to hold
it's next annual meeting in F'lorida.
They didn't care what town or what
part. Just so the editors chose Flor
ida.
The boosters got their wish, and it
was left to them to make up plans
and programs for some time in March,
1921, before everything closes down
for the summer and while the weather
might be the most delightful down
there. Now Secretary George z. Hos
mer, of the committee having enter
tainment in charge, has submitted to
the executive committee tentative
program for the entertainment OF the
convention which is at least so tempt
ing that we imagine all of our pub
fishers will be crazy as the girls
say, to attend this annual meeting of
the n. E. A.
The first gathering of the editorial
party will be at Pensacola, with the
formalities of the convention taking
place in that city, followed by sight
seeing and banquets and then a jour-
ney on March IL to Tallahassee. JACK
sonville is the point OF interest and
entertainment on the 18th. and on thu
13sh the party will arrive at St
Augustine, the oldest city in the
United States. Here three days of
business session and pleasure viii be
enjoyed by the members OF the asso-
citation, and then follow two weeks of
travel by train and boat and automo-
bile to all the more important cities
of the peninsula, with entertainment
galore.
We are for Florida strong since see
ing this tentative program. and if they
carry it out. we hope a lot of Iowa
and midwest publishers will be on
hand to enjoy it.-Corn Belt Publisher.
