FIRMS
INVESTIGATED
FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION
TO ASCERTAIN ALLEGED &C
INVITES OF, TOBACCO TRUST.
BY GEORGE II. MANNING.

Washington, d. c.. June 2f.-The
Federal Trade Commission is organ
izing a force that will in a few days
begin the investigation of the tobac-
leo business ordered by the house Of
representatives two days before ad-
journment to ascertain if the 'Tobac-
co Trust" is beating down the prices
to the growers and making enormous
profits out of the manufactured
smokes.
This investigation will extend to
alleged violations of law by corpora
tons or individuals engaged in or in
terested in the purchase or sale of to-
bacco that are alleged to have re-
suited in depression of prices of
Goes compared with the price of the
manufactured product. ~
The house resolution required the
Federal Trade Commission to report
it's findings to congress and the de-
partment of justice not later than De-
cember 9Th. The resolution is broad
enough to cover the various types of
tobacco grown in the United States.
1t was charged on the floor of the
house of representatives that the ITO
DdCCO 3 trust mas unQuly maRnl1led
the unsettled money conditions in
Europe, where a considerable portion
of the American tobacco crop is mar
keted, to depress prices to the grow
ers to unwarranted extent.
The growers of large portion of
the tobacco raised in Virginia, Con-
necticut, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio
and other states, after being COM
PEELED to pay high prices for labor
and land faced the situation of selling
their crops at less than they cost to
produce in 1919 and 1920, when the
prices offered took a violent drop,
brought about, it is alleged, by
collision between the large tobacco
interests
The sudden price drop was not
caused by production because
there is world shortage of tobacco.
The drop first occurred in the types
produced practically for export and
then extended to those raised for do
mestic use.

ROBBER BANDS INFEST
SZECHUEN TRADE ROUTE

Chengtu, China, June 29.-Depreda-
lions OF robber bands along trade
routes in Szechuen province have be-
come so fragrant and widespread that
urgent appeals for the use of troops
to combat the menace have been sent
to the Chinese provincial authorities
by foreign firms operating in Szec-.
huen. The outlaws have become SO
bold that mail consignments, hither-
to immune from them, have been
seized.
One recent report that was brought
to Chengtu was OF the robbery OF a
pack train on the big road" which Is
the main. highway between Chung
king and Chengtu. In this 40 bags OF
mail were opened and rifled by the
outlaws and ''the whole hillside was
Covered with stolen mail"
Elm another case q caravan had been
beld up and robbed by band Of
bandits when a second stronger band
of brigands appeared and compelled the
return of the stolen goods. The leader
OF the smaller band was then shot.
The chieftain who did this declared
that he had guaranteed tho safe pas
sage of this particular caravan, having
received substantial consideration.
The activities Of the bandits are felt
as much by the individual as by The
large commercial interests in the
opinion of one Chengtu mission work.

PROSPERITY TO STAY

Irwin s. Cobb has been making q
swing around the circle and in the
Saturday Evening Post has described
the prosperous condition of the towns
through which he has passed.
His comments on big wages, big
spending and big ideas, are most in
teresting.
In speaking of the prosperity OF
North Carolina, Mr.. Cobb says
"Once upon q time / thought North
Carolina was one OF the most back
ward states in this Union. Today
am sure It must be one OF the most
prosperous of all our great sister
hood. Certainly no state is presently
more progressive. In the outskirts of
such a town as Wilson or Gastonia OF
Durham or Winston-Salem one pas
sing through on a train beholds more
convincing evidences of substantial
improvements than formerly one
would have seen in ride across the
entire state. Trim and tidy bunga-
lows are replacing the shacks and
shanties of q preceding decade. Big,
broad-winged brick school buildings
rear their bulk in rural settings.
Neatly painted fences surround flower
beds and grass plot where once were
yards of bare, ugly turf. Along with
civic pride an individual pride has
blossomed. Oftener than not, in the
background there rear up those tall
iron standards which carry the har-
messed energy of distant watercourses
hundreds of miles across country to
be transmitted into heat and light and
power.
Il drove through one North Caro-
lima town with a population which
could not have exceeded three thou
sand. On the principal business
street, which. indeed. was the only
business street. took account in pas
sing of eight buildings, all in process
OF construction and all being con-
structed OF brick. On one corner a
big general store neared completion.
Diagonally across from 1t a three
story building for offices and lodge
rooms was going up. There was a
structure which could mean nothing
else except a new movie palace. One
next door plainly was destined to be
a garage, and there was yet another
whose purpose could not divine off
hand. Possibly it is to be a service
station for ouija boards the folks are
getting to be most terrifically up to
date in North Carolina"
Times are better than they have
ever been. in all the history of this
nation. And this in spite of, and not
because of. high prices.
There is just one reason for this.
and it is prohibition. The German in
terests in this country are not taking
the money out of our pockets and
sending it over to fill the Golfers in
Berlin.
The interests working so assiduous-
ly to put wet plank in the demo-
cratic platform will fail because the
people do not want the whiskey in
terests in the saddle again in this
country.
Prosperity has become habit. So
has decency and right living. Never
again will the men and women Of this
country barter away their rights to
happiness by putting weapon in the
hands of lot of German brewers to
slay honor and self-respect.

Der of Tennessee and Alabama and
Georgia.; entirely apart from the fact
, that it 10 the nearest large port to the
Panama canal, this city has advan-
tages over St Petersburg, Miami and
West Palm Bech, as pleasure resort
and location for permanent homes.
What do people want when they
seek a resort or a home? First OF all
i-climate.
Pensacola,s climate is unsurpassed
anywhere in the world. The winters
here are open and delightful. Their
delights are such as to offer lure to
any winter tourists seeking a climate
unsurpassed. But, more than this, for
the home maker will find here an all
the year-round climate, such as no
other city in Florida can offer. The
summer climate Of Pensacola is ideal.
The Gulf breezes. sweeping over the
pinelands, act as an invigorant and
stimulus.
Then the winter tourist wants to
lead an outdoor life. Here he will
find not only the best fishing but the
best hunting in the state of Florida
How often do we tell visitors OF these
things? How easy do we make it for
the men and women who come to this
city to enjoy the pleasures of boating
and swimming. OF fishing and hunt
ing, of golfing and motoring? That
is what they come south for. But do
we offer them ample facilities for the
enjoyment of these diversions? II we
did SO, would they not be apt to re-
main with US to make their homes. for
is it not true that people who get
Pensacola sand in their shoes" never
want to make their homes elsewhere?
Another thing that the tourist from
the north is looking for is pure water.
Pensacola has the purest water in the
state, proven to be so by government
analysis.
The tourist wants beautiful and
interesting background. Pensacola
has that background. but the trouble
is that it is literally a background. II
we would finish our Gulf Beach High
way and other roads; build a hotel on
the Gulf Beach: with suitable golf
links, and guides for hunting and fish
ing parties; establish a pleasure line
with good schedule, going to and from
the Island, the sound, and other re-
sorts, and provide adequate housing
facilities, we should soon have tour
lists pouring into this city. And these
tourists would become permanent res
idents.
There is absolutely no city in the
state that is so naturally desirable as
a place for permanent residence; and
there is no city in the state which has
so steadily sets its face against that
which it has and is constantly reach
ing out for that which it has not. II
the people of Pensacola would stop
crying for the moon and would get
together and concentrate on these
things which have been agitated, off
and on, for so many years. people
would be drawn to Pensacola because
Of it's desirable location as a home,
and having come as home makers. the
industrial growth of the city would
naturally and most surely follow.
Let us make the best of these OPP
portunities that are ours. Let us go
forward in the next ten years. with
the determination to be what nature
meant us to be-the summer and
winter home for hundreds of thous-
sands of happy, busy people, in the
most desirable location with which
any people We're ever blessed.

VANCE WRITES FOR
JOURNAL READERS.
BY Dr.. James !. Vance.

"All Gaul is divided into three parts.
So are all men. YOU can classify man
kind by the verb which registers their
activities and reveals their standards.
There are three great life verbs. and
men may be rated as they place the
emphasis on the one or the other of
these three.
There is the verb to have, and there
are those who make possessions the
main quest of life. One is important
in proportion to his baggage. He is to
be judged by his salary. He is great
in proportion to his bank account. He
has brains if he has things, and he
possesses merit il he commands credit.
Genius and money-bags dwell together.
and cash and character find each
other. According to this estimate, Soc
rates, Plato, Aristotle, Milton and
several other gentlemen, whose names
persist in the worlds temple Of fame,
were failures. They travelled without
baggage. The apostles were small
men, and Jesus of Nazareth common
place.
There is next the verb to do. There
are those who make activity the main
quest OF life. They dearly love to be
busy. 1t does not make so much diff
ference what, just so they are at it.
They love the stir and hustle of the
streets. They worship the hum and
grind of machinery. They adore the
strenuous life. They are great souls in
action--no repose for them. life is
too short to waste the precious mo-
ments in wicked and wasteful leisure.
They count no day well spent that does
not see a new organization launched,
and no goal reached that has not been
reached with sweat. Such men of
might are in peril of installing size for
sense and noise for power.
Then there is the very to be. There
are those who make character the
main quest of life. Their baggage be-
longs to them; they do not belong to
their baggage. They are concerned not
so much with what they do as with do
in it well. Their god is not quantity,
but quality They would rather be
honest than rich and sincere than ia
nous. You can leave them and. when
you return, you will find that they
have kept faith They do not need to
be watched. Their Master dwells with
in.
These are the truly great. Here are
the world-builders. whether known to
fame or not-those who daily, earnest
ly. honestly strive to be and to be-
come.
They have class, the do class, the be

'RAH FOR TOM Upton.


like a man. a real man.
Who is a good sporty sport
And that's why I'm hoping
That Tom Upton
Or Sir Thomas Upton
Will have the whooping good lucl
To witness his Shamrock Nv
Whip the silk socks off
All the other boats in line
When the big ocean race
For fast boats is pulled off!
I'm loyal to this country
From the start to the finish
But I'm saying right out loud
That the majority Of Americans
Would feel very highly elated
II Upton should win the cup.
For so long as many remember
Upton has been blowing In
Vast mountains of mazuma
In order to win a race on water;
And every time he's been licked
He took defeat most gracefully
And went back home smiling.
Then he'd sell some more tea,
And gather in more simoleonS
To build another racing boat
With which to win the title!
he never put UP q WuillpSr
And never uttered a groan-
And never claimed in any way
That he was unfairly licked.
And that Is the reason
Why I'm hoping he will win.
He calmly blows his '.rocks"
In on his Shamrocks-
And then sees his boat,
In every event, up to date,
Get a puncture away back
Near the third quarter-post,
He never loses his good humor-
And never cherishes a crouch.

Press Comment
The Finest Ever.

no rineSt EVER.
Every year the meeting of the
State Press Association is voted the
finest that has ever been held, but
certainly the meeting last week in
Pensacola is not only the best that
has ever been, but will prove in COM
ing years to have been the most Law
ish in the history Of the association.
The hospitality of Mr.. and Mrs Her
vey, of the San Carlos Hotel, of The
Journal and the News of Captain
Christy, Colonel Mauldin, Captain
Stewart and the Pensacola Shipbuild-
ing Company of the Reynalds Com
pany, of every member of every COM
mittee appointed to have a part in the
entertaining, was absolutely without
equal. The members of the associa-
ton think of it as the banner year for
festivities. meeting which they will
always recall with greatest happiness
There is, however, the feeling that it
is not expected that each city or dis
trict that entertains the association
should feel that they must excel what
has gone before. Pensacola had no
such idea, their one thought was to
make the editors have a good time.
and seemed to have the feeling that
they were the honored ones, instead
of the visitors. Tampa will entertain
next year Tampa is also a large city
and judging from past experiences,
they will be Ideal hosts. But there are
smaller cities which will at times wish
to entertain the state press and if en-
tertainment becomes more and more
elaborate. 1t Will be impossible for
these smaller places to take their part
in the entertaining. 1t would be a
wise idea to have this years meeting
in Pensacola. the red letter year, and
to return to less elaborate entertain
ment, for the benefit of smaller towns
who may entertain in the future. Mt.
