WELCOME TO PENSACOLA.

Today Pensacola is entertaining The
State Bankers Association, and later
will be host to The American Bankers
Association of Florida. At any time
in its history. Pensacola would have
welcomed the presence of the bankers
of the state, but at this time, particu-
larly, the people of Pensacola and with
dial greeting. and expresses hope for
a convention of value to the men who
are at the head of the financial insti-
tutions of the state.
No body of men has borne a heavier
load than have the bankers of the
United States, during the past years of
war; and since the cessation of hostiG-
ties, their burden has been heavier, if
possible, because of the unstable con-
dition of industrial affairs, which men
ace this, and every other country.
Upon their shoulders fell the heavy
task, not only of financing the United
States during the years of colossal and
staggering expenditure, incident to the
world war, but also to so finance mat
tiers here that they might be in posi-
tion to extend credit to foreign coun-
tries.
In the recent symposium of bankers
published by an important trade jour
nal of the South, the statement was
made that the banks of the United
States now hold about $4,000, ,000,0 of
government paper, principally Liberty
and Victory bonds, as collateral for
loans.
1.-THE treasury department was able
to finance the war through the in
strumentality of the Federal Reserve
Banks, and they, in turn, had the CO.
operation of the banks of the country.
who were able to offer extremely lib
eral terms to buyers to carry bonds.
They were all partners in patriotic
enterprise, and this partnership can
not be broken overnight, now that
the war is over"
This is the opinion of Joseph Wayne,
president of the Girard National Bank
of Philadelphia, and it seems TO be a
| god opinion.
What plans the bankers will work
out, in solving the financial problems OF
| this nation, are theirs, and they will
handle that problem in the able man
ner with which they have met every
| turn of events. no matter how unfor-
| tuftous But, as Mr.. Girard says. the
| government the banks and the peo-
| pie went into a patriotic partnership
during the war, and the people have
their duties to the government and to
/ the banks, no less than the govern
ment and the banks have to the peo-
pie.
! Six billion dollars worth of govern
ment bonds as collateral in the banks
! of this country. suggests that there is
something wrong, somewhere-and It
may be that it is the fault of the peo-
| pie, who are rushing into reckless ex-
/ travagances and expenditures.
Certainly, no class of men in this
country carried on" more valiantly
and faithfully, than did the bankers.
and to them Pensacola opens its doors
with a deep sense of appreciation, as
well as pleasure, in having the mem
bers here in convention.

A Distinctive Speech.

n
The Fort Myers Press is a great be-
lever in the judgment of the people.
1t does not hold the opinion that the
clear thinking people of Lee county
are going TO be hoodwinked by the ex-
travagant promises and gross misstate-
ments made to them by one Sidney J..
Cats, just now the occupant of the
high position as chief executive of this
| great state, who seeks to succeed the
able Duncan u. Fletcher as United
! States Senator.
From the standpoint of pure cam
paign rot the speech of Governor Cats
in Fort Myers today was distinctive
(accent on the second syllable). His
remarks were intended to appeal to
popular prejudices and his effort was
of the crudest possible sort. Repre-
sentative Blanton of Texas and Con-
gresham Huddleston, of Ala ALBANIA,
recognized demagogues, would have
4 been green with envy had they heard
the ''HoHer Than Thou harangue de-
ivered here this morning by this po-
litical Moses, who promises to lead the
, children of Florida out of the will

what would F'lorida's sister states think
of her If the people of this state
should so far forget themselves as to
send to the senate this political harle-
quin? Will Florida repudiate the val
liable services of Senator Fletcher a
polished and efficient public servant
who has long stood the acid test? We
think not.-Fort Myers Press

INDIVIDUALITY OF FLORIDA
PRESS

The Journal has had many kindly
and gracious things said about its edi-
ltoria1 page by members of the state
press during the past few months, all
of which have been deeply appreciated,
but perhaps nothing quite so flattering &
has been handed us, as this from the
Miami Herald in a recent editorial
Z Individuality in The Florida Press, .
which we e-publish in full:
| Even a brief acquaintance with the
many morning and evening papers that
make up the list of the fourth estate in
Florida brings to the reader the con-
viction that Florida is a state blessed
with an unusual amount of individual
ity and character in its newspapers.
From the little four page weekly of
some remote farming town to the Sun
day issues of the big city dailies, the
rate of ability seems unusually high.
There is a great lack of the usual
small town stuff" that handicaps so
many state papers. The ratio of err
rors. in writing or in printing, is ex-
ceedingly small 1t is difficult. even
for the penetrating shears of the
colyumist looking for printers mistakes
as a vehicle for some heartless joke or
other. is hard put to it TO find much
of this sort of provincialism among the
eADOnenIS OF Ine pTeSS- IL -
quite evident that the elements of
progress, of energy, of advance in in
! tellectual standing and in mental alert
ness must be presented in the towns
and cities of Florida which make these
papers possible. Those who accuse
Florida of being backward as a state
would be refuted by a glance at the ag-
gregate of Florida newspa pers.
And in addition to their tone of
progress and enlightenment, the state
newspapers have each strongly de-
veloped personality. We have editors
who are original thinkers because they
do not all agree and especially be-
cause they are not content to swallow
whole any predigested opinions, canned
editorials or similar slipshod substi-
tutes. Whatever their opinions, on
prohibition or cattle dipping, on no.
fence laws or the League of Nations,
they indicate a high average of men
tai initiative.
OF these last The Tampa Morning
Tribune and The Pensacola Journal
stand out as especially individual. We
do not always agree with them. We
sometimes think that they too energet-
ically bark up the wrong tree, but we
always turn to their editorial columns
with a sure feeling of getting vigorous
thought, original ideas and a very
forceful individuality. The Tribune,
especially, has a breadth of outlook
and sweep of understanding most
praiseworthy And the smaller Pensa-
cola Journal, if it sometimes lacks that
masculine impersonality in politics,
makes up for that in a finely wrought
intellectual appreciation of more cul-
tural affairs which is a very high
order.
This praise is gratuitous. we hasten
to add. Each paper in the state de-
serves a paragraph to itself. in praise
of its own individuality. But its chief
purpose is merely to recognize the
fact that any state which has justi-
fed the existence of a vigorous and
healthy public press cannot be classed
as backward or lacking in progress.

Pheasants To Face HardshipS
Here; LIE COmpte Wants Trial

illinois is IS claimed that the birds are
not only breeding. but that they are
doing so very rapidly. and that the
pheasant problem seems to have been
solved
A similar degree of success is re-
ported on one large Missouri preserve.
Here the birds have not strayed for
the reason that the club making the
preserve has leased the hunting rights
TO nearly a whole county, and the
range is too great 10 tempt the birds
TO seek a wider one This preserve
was opened for shooting last winter
for the first time and a number of the
birds were killed.
To the average American there is
something repulsiye in the mere mem
ton of pheasant shooting on a pre-
serve. If he will analyze It, the feel
ing will no doubt trace back 10 some
story Of hunts on other preserves in
Europe. where the birds were driven
into nets and slaughtered after the
manner of chickens in pen. But no
such thing has characterized sport on
the American estates. On the Miss
ouri preserve in question. they were
hunted in exactly the same manner as
partridges.
The English pheasant is a larger
bird than the partridge, and not so
swift of flight. making rather easier
shooting. Still, since they are geneT-
ally found in the brush. it is by no
means an easy matter TO kill one when
II hushes and darts away. Some hunt
ers found sport shooting the birds

Since the sportsman shoots for the

tho time moving. this is by no means
bad sport. Still. it will never take the
place of the more general sort OF
shooting with shotgun over Dlrd
