coon ADVICE FROM TRIBUNE

The Tampa Tribune gives praise to John t. G..
Crawford national democratic committeeman, for
the success efforts to have the national dem
ocratic convention held at a date late enough TO
enable Florida democrats to select delegates in the
primaries But" says the Tribune, in gaining
time for the proper selection or delegates this does
not mean the democrats of Florida should make the
mistake of trying to instruct for any man. when
the convention meets. There is goin6 to be a
chance for real democracy to rule in the coming
convention There are a great number of men, any
number of men, any one of which would make a
magnificent theoretical standard bearer for the
party but conditions are not. yet moulded into
A mans record is going. to be the thing whereby
his democracy and his fitness for this high honor
are to be measured
I'VE hope the Florida delegation will be men Of
the highest and most undoubted democratic prin-
cples of ability to think and reason and study
out the wherefores and wherebys Of any political
move made at the convention, and these should be
unhampered as to and instructed merely to vote
Florida for the man whom it is proven, or whom it
is most evident is a democrat in reality; who has
a platform that is democratic in its entirety, who
will pledge himself and the powers he may have
for the economic running Of the government, and
an absolute impartiality, when it comes to consd-
ering any and every man.
There is no graver duty before the democrats of
Florida, in the coming June primary, than that of
selecting sound men for delegates to the national
democratic convention and sending them, unshackled

AGAINsT TIME OF NEED

In line with other communities all over the coun-
try, who celebrating Thrift Week, this is Life
insurance ray in Pensacola. rot in all the hisserJ
Of the United States has life insurance assumed so
important a place in the financial reckoning. as
during the past few years.
There are many reasons for this, the foremost
OF which is the practically of life insurance as ap-
piled to business and social conditions. The war
taught this, il it taught nothing else through
the recognition of the United States government Of
the fact that there is such bulwark against pow
erty. as that erected by paid up policy.
Another evidence of the Important place that life
insurance is taking the affairs of the nation is
the support the bankers Of the United States are
giving the movement for Thrift Week. and the fact
that one of the prominent bankers of the city has
given his endorsement Of the movement, by becom-
ing chairman Of the Life Insurance committee.
Recently the Northern Trust eompany-bank Of
Chicago and Marshall and Hsley bank Of Milwaukee
have conducted an advertising campaign urging
savings accounts out of which to pay life insurance
premiums. In its opening announcement the for
mer says: Life insurance should be included in
any definite scheme of purpose and progress 1t
provides for the hearth of existence backlog of
protection; an assurance that lfe's uncertainties
safeguarded."
If every man were fully able to offer his family
financial protection there would be no need at all
for life insurance. But few are so situated
to make enough to meet the daily cost OF living. and
have reserve fund large enough to cover every
emergency in case OF death or disaster In fact. it
is hardly too much to say that has pro-
vided for his family for the money the greater
commercial and financial obligation, a general
rule; so it is that the richest well the
saIared man, needs life insurance for protection.
A life insurance policy is good collateral in any
bank That is one reason the moneyed of this
country carry such large insurance policies it is
always easy to use them to secure loan. If the
man of wealth needs that protection. how much
more the man of small means.
1t does not cost much to keep up an insurance
policy the sacrifice if any, is than squared
in the time of need.
The year of 1919 will close with the most stupen-
dous increase in the amount of life insurance pol
ices written and paid for that has been known
according to men in position to judge. Nearly all
the federal reserve banks are asking their member
banks to use financial statement blanks forms
which inquire to the amount of life insurance
carried and as to who is the beneficiary.
But the best recommendation in the world is that
widow who is living in comfort that boy who is
going to college; that little girl who is warm, fed
and happy because some some woman had
sense enough to take out life insurance policy
and backbone enough to sacrifice few minor pleas
ures, in order to keep paid that insurance policy,
which has kept the wolf from the door.

Florida Press Opinion
Significance of Section Six

Significance of Section Six
| 1t is apparent from the vote cast by southern
senators that the south is not acquainted with the
benefits which it must necessarily reap if section
six of the Cummins railroad BILL now in conference
becomes law. This section was written by Sen
ator Underwood of Alabama with full realization
OF its value to the railroad properties which
the south, and it was accepted by Senator Cummins
as drafted although it has been opposed with vigor
by the powerful railroad interests, which rely upon
the north and the west for their earnings
Under section six the interstate commerce COM
mission is directed to readjust freight rates so as
to provide that all rail lines may earn at least 51A
per cent on the money actually invested and when
the physical valuation of the roads is finally de-
termned, So cent upon fair valuation of these
properties.
The group Of railroads which will profit most
decisvely by such program of rate making will
be the southern roads which, for the most part
have barely remained solvent or have actually gone
into the hands of receivers The financially strong
roads like the Pennsylvania, New York Central
Northern Pacific and the Milwaukee, it is pointed
out, viii not need protection at the hands of the
government and they seem to be hostile to any
measure which would allow the poorer roads the
same degree of prosperity which they have enjoyed
in times gone by.
The south has a very direct and a very important
interest in any legislation which will guarantee to
its lines of transportation sufficient revenue not
only to insure good service. but to make possible
extensions, upon which the development of south
ern territory must depend. 1t seems to the casual
observer that Senator Underwood has initiated
very vital piece OF legislation from a southern
standpoint and that he should be given the fullest
support in his efforts to keep section six in the
railroad bill. He has this support from certain
northern sections, but has not been able to count
upon it from that part Of the country which
he has right to expect it.-Richmond Times Dis
