ADVENTURES OF

said Nancy looking around under the
trees for a sign of him.
"Surest thing, you know" answered
Flippety- Flap peering around in the
grass and low bushes of the Green
Oasis. Nick ran over to the edge of
a little pool of water, thinking he

sandy, you must know that an oasis in
the middle of a desert is the incest
kind of a place. Cool and green, with
plenty of water to drink.
But Caliph Camel was nowhere to be
seen, although the snoring seemed
near.
Out in the hot sun it was really al
most hot enough to fry an egg, if one
had an egg and a frying pan. and In
the midst of the hot sand was heap
of something that looked as though

A DAILY MESSAGE
BY DR.. WILLIAM

My train pulled into Baltimore just
as another train pulled out. and l saw
on the platform on the side next the
ticket -office a woman in a wheeled
chair. A man with a red cap was
wheeling the chair.
She was to be taken aboard another
train on the farther side of the sta
ton, and our train had run in between
the train from which she had alighted
and that which she was to take. Just
then a. second train ran~in beside ours,
making two trains between her and
where she wanted to go.
An official approached the wheeled
chair and had a word with its occu-
pant and the red cap, and then ran
yes. ran-to a telephone, which | sup
pose was connected with the office of
the train dispatcher.
Hold Eighty Three for an invalid"
I heard him call.
Then he ran to another box, which
conjectured communicated with the
bridge where the signals were display
ed, and again he shouted, Don't let
Eighty Three, out till I call you
again!"
Then he IN up the steps OF car
on our train. ard opened the vestfbule
on the other side. and entered the
vestibule on the second train and
opened that on the farther side and
shouted to the conductor of the train
farthest over, the one that bore the
number. Eighy- Three.
Hey, Bill" he called. Hold your
train! There's an invalid here must
be got on"
They actually cut one train in two,
and waited for the other to pull out,
in order that that woman in the wheel
ed chair might get on board. And
everybody was interested in the ac-
complishment of Il.
Railroads are managed by corpora
tions, and trains are run ON schedules
and these take no account of invaIfds
and wheeled chairs. But railroads and
corporations and train schedules are
managed by men with hearts, and
hearts control many enterprises.

A Good Measure

A Good Measure
This newspaper trusts that savings
to be made under the anti-fee law
have not been overestimated. And 1t
is inclined to think they have not been
at least, so far as possibilities go.
We have not concealed our disappoint-
ment over many things done-and not
done-by the legislature. But we
would not withhold from it due need
of praise for the enactment of this
wholesome measure. And our pleas
ure is all the greater when we recall
that it was given the unanimous sup
port of the Hamilton county delega-
ton.
1t is now up to the people to make
this new laws possibilities realities.
If it is susceptible of saving to the
taxpayers $4,000 year, they should
see to it that it does just that. The
salaries provided are ample compensa-
ton for the services demanded. There
will be no dearth of candidates. What
should especially interest taxpayers is
TO see to it that men are chosen to the
county offices who will pledge them
selves to as vigorous collection and
conservation of the fees of their Off
ces as If the same all went into their
own pockets.
Grover Cleveland's old slogan that
public office is public trust has lost
considerable of it's force in modern
practice. 1t is high time that it should
be revived and revamped. A sort of
community among officeholders. But
officials are public servants. Taxpay-
ers are entitled to their first consid-
alton. Perhaps they would more read

more attention to it. Our officials US

Getting Not Giving
Among the comment going the
rounds of the Florida press is that
which says the New York press club
is planning to debar from membership
alleged newspapermen who are mere
ly posing as such for improper and
selfish purposes
Therein lies thought for the mem
bers of these organizations.
For the organizations there is the
question: How many of our members
for what they can get out of the as
ISOLATION?
For the members there is the ques-
ton: Am l member because / hope
to reap benefits or because l want
to put what intelligence and ability
possess into the good purposes of the
organization?
If every organization would rid it
self of all members it believes are
leeches upon its good purpose. and,
if every member who knows he is get
ting more than he gives to the cause
would resign, none OF the organiza-
tions would boast of large member
ship, although all of them might find
that what they would have lost in
numbers they would have gained in
strength.
America has more associations,
lodges, orders, organizations and clubs
than any other nation. Most of them
are doing a great work. But what
greater work they might do, If all
their members were sincere in their
pledges and gave to their associations
and to their principles more than they
hope to reap for themselves.
But, of course, America. has not
reached that height OF perfection
wherein men are unselfish. On the
other hand selfishness rules and sell

from their efforts to band togethAs

PRESS COMMENT
Things Have Changed

Florida newspapers have offered sug-
gestions innumerable to the legisla-
ture and no doubt the members have
read and considered some of these vol
untary offerings of help, and it may be
that new ideas have been brought to
view in one matter or another of pub
lie interest. IT is found that opin-
ions vary in some sections of the state
proposed laws and changes,
and the most diverse views are ex-
pressed in the newspapers-but on one
subject they seem agreed, and that is
the necessity for a change in the cleo
ton laws.
gram "a truly conservative newspa-
per, recently spoke as follows:
Revision of the electten laws is
one of the duties which will con-
front the legislator. The attorney
general is preparing a bill to place
women upon exactly the same
states as men with regard to reg
istration and the payment Of poll
taxes. That is all right, provided
the women want such restrictions.
They should be consulted, how
ever, as they constitute half the
voting strength of the state,
though not half the representation
in the legislature. and they will
certainly resent any laws which do
not meet their ideas of justice.
And, while about it, the legislature
ought to devise the whole voting
system. The registration and poll
tax requirements are sufficient to
keep undesirables from the polls.
Or, If not, an education qualifica-
cation can be embodied in a con-
stitutional amendment and sub
mitted to the people. The ballot
ought to be simplified and made to
conform to the rules adopted in
other states. We have two parties
in Florida, and it is not worth
while to pretend to ignore that
fact. Both parties are entitled to-
exactly the same advantages so far
as the election laws are concerned.
The ballot should contain the
names of candidates. grouped mn
der party headings, with symbols
to more readily distinguish them,
and sample ballots, just as they
are to be voted should be publish
ed and posted about the polling
places Instead of making it diff
ficult to vote intelligently, it
should be made as easily as pos
sible.

The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1921-04-26

When it is recalled that the present
laws are in force because the last leg
islature failed utterly to agree upon
new laws-not that the statutes, then
and now on the books were satisfac-
tory, but because the legislators would
not, or could not come to a reasonable
understanding in regard to changes, 1t
seems necessary to urge an early con-
sideration of this important matter.
There are but few defenders of the
statutes now in force and 1t is of
course necessary to make certain
changes on account of changed condi-
lions but the election laws as whole
can well be studied and the general
opinion appears to be that great
changes are desirable. If left to late
consideration there may happen again
what happened last time, and the peo-
pie be further disguised by the COM
plications and vagaries of the existing
laws.-Times-U Union.
