Someone once made the remark that
experience is book which all OF us
write but which no one ever reads
There is great deal of food for
thought in that little remark If we
could only read the experiences of 9TH
ers and profit by them how much rou-
bio and pain would be saved for us.
But each one must experiment for. him
self and write his own little book. II
all these books could be collected We
would probably find thousands of dup
licates of nearly ever experience
known to man. Yet We all plunge wild
~ on, the wise as well as the foolish.

lind within himself the means OF avert
ing disaster 1t sometimes seems like a
blind hopeless muddle. Yet trouble, pain
and sorrow are wonderful rntiners OF
human thought and actions. trobah bly,
IN this they are serving their purpose

February is the month during which
We celebrate the birthday of the two
men who have often been conceded TO
be the greatest in country OF great
men Lincoln and Washington. We
often hear of debates when people try
to decide which man was the greater
ia question which We claim cannot
be decided. Each man and the con-
dilions of his time were so entirely diff
rcrent that it is no possibl" for us who

Let us not waste our time looking
for great work, but cheerfully do the
duties nearest to us, for God never de-
signed that many of us should do great
deeds 1t is the little things that make
up life. What the world wants daily
is little, kindly deeds" So many OF us
are standing idle because we cannot
do lofty work; we should improve the
opportunities as they come; then when
the opportunity itself we shall be pre-
pared TO meet 1t. .....

GOMPERS' STAND.

1t should not be necessary for Sam
uel Gompers, president of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, to defend
his attitude toward the Russian soviet
government, which is backed up by
action of the executive council of the
federation. American labor has moth
ing in common with sovietism.
In letter addressed to several CEN
trail trades unions, President Gompers
denounces as "unpatriotic Americans
the labor leaders who have criticized
him for the stand taken by the fed
Grafton toward bolshevistic labor or
CARNATIONS of Europe. President Com
pers says that this criticism is based
on misinformatlon concerning condi-
lions in Russia. The executive council
OF the federation has declared that the
soviet government of Russia is the
enemy of industrial workers. What
was proclaimed as the savior of labor
has become the oppressor, in the judg
ment of the federation leaders.
Labor bodies which set themselves
up as defenders of the soviet system
will find themselves at variance with
the sentiment of a great majority of
American citizens as we'll as with the
executive committee of the American
Federation of Labor.

| Editor Journal:
Your paper has asked opinions in
regard to the annexation of the nine
western counties of Florida to the
state of Alabama.
If such a transfer is made, it will be
the best thing that ever happened FOR
West Florida. Leaving sentiment out
of the question, there is no argument
against it. Romance and sentiment are
very beautiful, but they neither feed,
clothe nor shelter us. Suppose Pensa-
cola did once belong to France and to
| Spain; would not Alabama place just
as high a value on,these historic facts
as Florida?
This state is sosrich in old associa-
| lions that the Loss of Pensacola should
not cause any sentimental regret on
| the part of the rest of the state.
Geographically, this part of the state
| is Alabama, while jthe Peninsula is the
real Florida.
This section is the neglected step
child of the state. On the contrary, If
annexed to Alabama, this would be
the most favored, because the most
valuable acquisition of that great
state. Ever since the civil war this
section has existed almost wholly on
the timber and naval stores Industries.
Southern papers have for a year
past been calling attention to the fact
that ten years will see the end of
these twin industries. The war time
demands for timber and naval stores
are past In our greed we have killed
the goose that laid the golden egg.
Now the baby pines are being slaugh-
tered for excelsior and turpentine We
will soon be paying taxes for refores-
tration, as other states are. doing.
Pensacola needs money from the
outside. What have we for export? A
recent article in The journal urged
people to deal with the retail mer-
chants. The bulk of this money does
not remain here. 1t goes to northern
manufacturers and wholesalers. Pen
sacola has the grandest harbor this side
of Newport News, by far the finest on
the gulf, but this fact is ignored by
our own state. II annexed to Alabama.
West Florida would have behind it
rich farming state with coal and iron
for export. Pensacola would have fac
tories, docks and good roads. In ten
years time the city would so increase
in size and prosperity that we would
hardly know the old town.
Alabama needs a harbor on the
gulf We need to belong to a state that
will appreciate PensacOla's adv TN
tages, as Florida never has and never
will. ALICE SHEAR.

AMERICA DEPENDENT ON
EUROPE

In an address at a joint meeting of
the Illinois Manufacturers association,
the Chicago association of Credit Men,
and the Chicago Association of Com
merce, in the Hotel La Sale, Chicago,
recently, Francis II. Sisson, vice-pres-
ident of the Guaranty Trust company
of New York, said:
I'VE are too prone to think in terms
of what the United States means to
the remainder of the world. 1t is high
time for us to realize fully what the
rest of the world, and especially Eu-
rope. means to this country. We have
lately put too much emphasis on our
help to other nations; we need to I'M
derstand that we require their assist
ance.
Ever since the Pilgrim Fathers
landed on these shores three hundred
years ago we have looked to Europe
for help in developing this great land.
And we need Europe's aid today as
much as, if not more than, in the past.
IL is u different kind of assistance.
however. that we require now. Here
tofore we have sought and obtained
Europe's money and men. Today we
do not need either of them, at least in
the quantities that we received before
the world warm fact, it would be to
our serious detriment to take them in
such quantities. But we do need Euro
pean markets to preserve our nation
