A MUTUAL REGRET.

It is with distinct sense of loss
that the people of Pensacola will
learn Of the withdrawal of Mrs Carrie
Eldridge, as householder of the Pearl
Eagan Home, recently taken over by
the Children's Home Society of
Florida. ..-....
Mrs. Eldridge has been with the
home now for a number Of years, and
it is with mutual sense OF regret
that she gives up her young charges
But the fact that the influence of the
home is to be extended and, that chill
dren will seek it's protection from all
parts Of West Florida, made the duties
too heavy for the shoulders which
have SO faithfully borne their share
of the burden, which to her always
seemed rather in the nature of dear
privilege.
Not only will the children miss her,
all who have come to look upon the
home and it's small inmates with af-
lection, and the general public Of
Pensacola, will regret that the rela-
tions which have been so close and
cordial must be severed. Mrs. Ed
ridge has been offered another posi-
sition outside the home. which is less
combining and quite remunerative.

The message cheered them. l could

DON'T BLOCK GOVERNMENT
WORK.

The proposal to make certain changes
and amendments Of the proposed rat
ordinance is one which should have
the most careful consideration of the
people and the commissioners of Pen
sacola. Before the passage of this or
dinance the doctors will confer with the
commissioners and citizens at a joint
meeting, and the entire future Of Pen
sacola may depend upon the outcome
OF this conference, and the changes
Which are made in an ordinance which
is designed not only to protect the
people of this city but of the entire
nation.
II the bars are let down in the
slightest degree. and anything but the
most rigid surveillance is PERMITTED it
will mean that the United States gov
ernment will Withdraw the support
which it is giving this city in its cam
paign; that no coastwise steamers
will be permitted to touch this port,
that rigid quarantine will be en-
forced, and that the entire future of
this city will be jeopardized.
Pensacola is facing one of the most
important crises in all its history. So
far the deaths from bubonic plague
have been few. So prompt were ply
siciaps in reporting the disease and In
calling in experts for diagnosis and Co
operation, that a check was at once
placed upon the spread Of the disease.
So far there has been shown a
spirit of unanimity in the efforts. to
catch the rats and in all preventive
in Pensacola, but throughout the state
n
every precaution, sparing no expense,
to safeguard the ports Of the South.
Will Pensacola, after the steps that
have been taken and the quick action
which has brought such beneficial re-
suits, refuse to meet the demands OF
common sense and humanity, and
jeopardize the lives of the people and
the interests of this port?
The Journal does not believe that
there is a man or woman in Pensacola
who wants to see this city quarantined
Such action on the part Of the govern
ment would spell disaster for Pensa-
cola.
It will be remembered that San
Francisco was quarantined, some years
ago, for failure to meet the situation
at that port in the way that it
should have been met. And it ise
known fact that San Francisco is no
longer the first city in California, but
has had to give way to Los Angeles.
The local authorities the state and
nation have been prompt in meeting
Pensacola's needs has given the peo-
pie of the United States every conf
dence that the situation here will be
handled in the most expert way. That
it will be, if the people will abide by
the decision Of physicians and govern
ment experts no one can doubt. Let
the city commissioners and the peo-
pies committee beware how they
tamper with an ordinance rendering it
less effective, and thrusting upon this
city ignominy and future years of re-
PROGRESSION.

An the world will stand an stare.

IN THE LIGHT.
BY Frank L. Stanton.

It's a great old world-the winters
are chill, but the summer, it
comes round,
And the warm sun whispers secrets
to the seed that's in the ground
And though some seasons are weary,
there's hope when the storms are
past,
And We'll enter fairer country and
rest in the light at last.
Well rest in the light at last. in the
beautiful later light:
We shall kiss our hands to sorrow and
whisper last good night;
And storm and strife will be mem
cries that soon shall melt away
In that light OF beautiful morning
the light Of the later day

RESCUE FROM REACTION ;

Declares That Extravagant
Standards Of Government
Formed in Last Few Years
Must Be Eliminated.

Northampton. Mass. July 2.-
Governor Calvin Coolidge was for
mally notified today of his nomina-
ton as the republican candidate for
vice president in exercises which be-
gan with a meeting of the notifica-
ton committee and an informal
luncheon fos. the committeeman at
the Coolidge home at noon and con-
cluded with ceremonies Of notiflca-
ton at 5 o'clock on Allen field, Smith

This little college city was deco
rated with the national colors and
pictures of the governor were every
where displayed. All business was
suspended during the afternoon and
the city was crowded with visitors.
Rescue From Reaction.
Rescue from the reactions of war
was described as the transcendent
need of the nation in an address
which Governor Coolidge delivered
in accepting formally the republi-
. can nomination for vice president.
: The chief task that lies before MS, !"
he said, is to repossess the people
of their government and their prop
erty."
Governor Coolidge found another
source of gravest public concern to
be "reactionary tendency to substi-
tute private will for the public will"
He said there, had been disposition
on the part Of some individuals and
groups to inquire whether they liked
the law, and if not to disregard it
and prevent its execution by the
method of direct action. "The OBJ
seryance of the law" he said, "is the
greatest solvent of public ills" He
deplored attempts to create class
distinctions.
Notified on College Ground. (

theater. A platform large enough
