The eye of God may be a fear or it

outlines of His presence as He leads
them on. I may see your figure a

not enough for him to see the diff

PRIDE OF ACHIEVEMENT.

4 Pensacola has a number of attrac-
lions to offer visitors, but it is with a
certain sense of pride of fulfillnent
that the people Of this city will intro
duce the visitors of the various con-
ventions soon to convene here to the
Pensacola shipbuilding plant, tn 9
Bruce dry dock and the work now pro-
crossing on the high density cotton
compress.
There are many other things of
which Pensacola is proud. There are
number of farms in this section which
are worth visit of any delegation
of interested agriculturists. There are
a number of Industrial plants, such as
the two large tar products compa-
MES, the chemical fertilizer plant, the
Southern Cotton oil plant, and many
other industries, besides the govern
ment reservations, both the naval air
station and the army post and the
Notifications Of Pickens and McRae.
But the shipbuilding plant. the Bruce
dry dock and the cotton compress are
so linked with the recent development
of this port as to give to all Pensa-
colians a just sense Of pride in their
establishment here. Each represents
the sustained effort of men who have
worked fervently and unremittingly to
put forward this city in a commercial
way, through each of these enterprises
the city and entire section have
profited. Each represents something
more than an investment of few
men. Each means employment of la
Dor at good wages, wages spent here
in Pensacola with Pensacola mer-
chants.
To these and such enterprises as
these. Pensacola may well point with
pride, and it is with no small degree
of satisfaction that the delegates to
the various conventions soon to meet
in this city will be introduced to these
evidences of Pensacola's commercial

LET,s GET READY.

Now that the excitement OF elecuon
days is past and the city has once
more settled down to normal condi-
lions, The Journal would call attention
to the need of a cleaner and more
tiful Pensacola. At all times it is
detrimental to any city to be in an
unsanitary or untidy condition, but
lin view of the coming convention OF
the Florida State Press Association.
lit particularly behooves the peoples OF
this city to place every home, every
business house, every industrial plant
and office building in such condition
as may reflect credit upon the COM
munity.
The streets OF Pensacola are by no
means in the state of order and clean
illness which is to be desired. The
business section would be greatly inn
proved by slight renovation of many
Of the buildings. which could be made
with little outlay of time or money.
Al coat of paint goes far towards inn
proving the appearance of any piece
of property, and also tends to increase
Its lease on life.
Every home in the city. every busi-
ness house and every manufacturing
plant of whatever character should
make preparations at once to be at It's
best, on the visit of the state press
members, who meet in Pensacola June
|17-19. The press convention will be
one of the most important meetings
ever held in Pensacola, for such a
representation from members of the
Fourth Estate means that this section
will receive mention in practically
every paper in the state of Florida.
Let us make our welcome such that
the visit of the press members may
be a pleasant one, long to be remem-
bered. But let do more than that. Let
rs send them back with not only the
memory of delightful visit but with
the realization that Pensacola is not
onlv one of the Invest and most pro-
rressiye cities in the state, but that
II is also one Of the most beautiful.
Let us not allow any untidiness or
carelessness of home or business block
or mar the City Beautiful. but let US
put every street. every yard and gar
den. every store and office building
in such order as may suggest the spirit
which has put Pensacola forward dur
ing the past few years. to take rank
with other larger cities of the state
in progress and prosperity.

CONVENTIONS
60 YEARS AGO

Chicago, June AT the first re-
publican national convention held in
Chicago so years ago:
One Iowa delegate walked $50 miles
to get to a railroad to come to the
convention.
Special railroad rates were made and
Chicago's population probably doubled
IN convention week.
Hotel rooms were $3.50 to $3.50 a day
Crowds were so great that billiards
tables in the hotels were pressed into
service as beds.
The 'Wigwam'' in the convention
was held was probably about the size
of the annex to the Coliseum in which
this years convention takes place.
The Wigwam's profuse decoration
was largely furnished by the republic
can women of Chicago. They were
invited to come armed and equipped
with those formidable weapons. need
les, thimbles, scissors, ETC., ETC."
When a special train pulled in with
the Massachusetts, and New England
delegates, rockets were sent up and
a cannon doomed to announce their
arrival to waiting friends.
The gallery in the convention hall
was reserved for women and their
escorts. Because of the great number
of men unable to get in. one man was
reported trying to get into the gallery
with an Indian squaw selling mecca
sins as his credentials, but was ex-
cluded on the ground that she was no
lady.
The two chief nominating speeches
were made in less than 80 words. Abra-
ham Lincoln was placed in nomination
in 26 words.
The making of the presidential
nomination was announced to the city
by the firing of a cannon placed on
the roof of the convention hall.
That night cannon and rockets were
fired, bonfires lighted, and multitude
nous parades formed, their partIci-
pants carrying anything that would
to rakes and fishing poles.
The foregoing data was Obtained
from the library of the Chicago His
torical Society, which has various rel
les of the convention and the cam
paign that followed.

BIG CATTLE DEAL.

Each issue of the Holmes County Adj
vertiser carries some story of develop
ment which indicates the strides that
West Florida is making in agriculture,
the raising OF live stock. or in volume
of business. In a recent issue of the
Advertiser. the following mention was
made OF a big cattle deal, at that
time pending:
Mr.. r. w. Dunlap, member Of a
large firm of live stock men in Green
Cove Springs, Clay county. Florida, is
in town today consulting with County
Agent ]. j. Sechrest. relative to the
purchase of two or three carloads of
pure bred Hereford cattle.
Mr.. Dunlap has been looking over
the herds of Mr.. ]. B. Davis. j. S.
Spell, j. E. Sims and ]. NJ. Brock and
the sale of this number of cattle will
no doubt be consumated If the cat
tie can be shipped out of the county
under the rigid tick quarantine which
is now on against the movement of
cattle from this county
Holmes county was at one time the
banner county of the state as regards
pure bred cattle. and there is no rea-
son why she should not regain her SUI
premacy. The eradication Of the cat
tie tick is the one thing needed to en-
courage the live stock industry here.
This sale. if 1t goes through, and
there is no reason to doubt 1t, will
be the largest single sale of pure-bred
cattle in the history of Holmes county.
Mr.. Dunlap. in going over the county,
at the good appearance of
the soil, saying he wished they had
as good in Clay county. He is also
highly pleased with the cattle he has
seen here.

HOSPITAL PATIENTS
GET MUSIC BY WIRE

An electro-static talking machine
introduced recently in the Walter
Reed Hospital in Washington reaches
patients individually by means of a
special electrical device. From a
connection established with the main
instrument music is supplied to the
invalid through a bedside receiving
set, by merely raising the small re-
ceiver to the ear. In this way con-
valescent patients may derive enjoy
ment from the music without disturb
ing those too i'll to listen to it.
Still another feature of the inven-
ton is its ability to transmit news of
the day to the listener. The news
is read aloud into the receiver in the
library and Immediately is within the
reach OF any patient who desires to
hear It

Ring again as long AZ live,

Is this not an achievement to which

in any way or manner contribute to Its
career of usefulness, may well be ded1-
Gated /? Already men and women OF
Florida, and other states, who are
broad of vision, practical as to intents
and purposes, are seeing the great
goodness that is in the work of the
the Montverde Industrial school and
are assisting in every way possible to
promote that work.

May this school, on the hills in the

more needed than now. and at the

Press Comment
Johnson,s Promise.

Johnson's Promise.
Senator Hiram w. Johson's promise
not to bolt the republican party even
II his presidential aspirations should
be quashed by the Chicago conven-
ton has been received by the repub-
lican national committeeman with
visible relief" But this does not
mean that Hiram can be ignored here
after. II the republican national COM
mitteemen will give the matter few
minutes of consideration they will per-
ceive that they are not yet free from
cause for worry so far as the Cali
fornia candidate is concerned.
Johnson did not bolt the party in
1916. No word OF his in that cam
paign could be construed as disloy-
atty to the republican organization or
to it's nominee; yet the fact remains
that while he, as a candidate for the
United States senate, carried Cali
fornia by a majority SO overwhelming
as to amount to a landslide, Mr..
Hughes lost the state. To thoughtful
republicans, bordering the California
phenomenon of 1916, it may occur that
Johnson, nominally loyal but with a
grievance, may be just as dangerous to
the party as he would be as a bolter.
He had a grievance in 1916. II he
fails to obtain the nomination this
year, or fails to obtain adoption of
his pet policies, is he not likely again
to have grievance
Regardless, moreover, of what his
personal inclinations may be, there is
good reason to doubt if he can hold
his followers in line for the republic
can nominee If he goes down to de-
feat at Chicago. Johnson has attracted
a following Of German-Americans be-
cause of his opposition to the peace
treaty, which they want the United
States to repudiate. That Johnson can
not swing the voters to any republi-
can who may be nominated appears
from the statement of their spokesman,
George Sylvester Viereck, president OF
the Fatherland Corporation, that II
Johnson, or someone like him, is not in
the running the COMMUNICATIONS
will vote for Eugene v. Debs, the
socialist nominee. Other elements Of
Hiram's following. Anglophobes, lib
erals, radicals will be equally diff
cult to control.
Johnson's promise not to bolt is of
little moment.-Tampa Tribune.

The Unnecessary Vacation.

ne Unnecessary VdSdsioHs
Once upon time a man decided that
he did not need any vacation, so he
stopped taking them. When there
came a luli in his business he took
outside employment, and be Dragged
to his friends of his imperviousness
to fatigue. Whenever one of them be-
gan to plan for the annual fishing or
camping trip he would say. I have
not had a vacation in seven years. Not
so bad, is it 2"
Now, il his friends were truthful
instead of tolerant, they would tell
him that it is just as bad as 1t can
possibly be; that in the seven years,
while he has increased his labors,
he has not increased his income ap-
preciably; that from one Of the most
eauable Of human beings he has be-
come irritable and petty; that a sense
of human so delicate, yet so compre-
hensive, that it was a daily delight to
all who knew him, has disappeared en-
tirely; that he magnifies casual re-
marks into studied insults, and the
ordinary preoccupation of people in
their affairs into deliberate neglect Of
him: that his wife has grown to hate
him and is considering divorce. and
his children, who used to adore him
as the finest playfellow in the world.

to be pacified until he gets out Of the
