ing these needs as well as to teach and
foster good Americanism.
The details Of the program to be

president of the college Of William and
Mary, when he said: 81 wish 1t were
possible for US to drive home to the
American people the conviction of

Thursday, Immigration; Friday, Natur-
alization. In addresses in connection

such subjects as American Ideals and
Americanism, The School and the Ma
ton, ETC., are being suggested.

A DAILY MESSAGE
BY DR.. WILLIAM &. BARTON
ouR NATIONAL Bird.

Our national emblem is the bald
headed American eagle. He is a noble
bird, proud, beautiful, mighty, king Of
birds as the lion is king OF beasts. He
scars with a marvellous grace end
!power; and when he swoops upon his
prey, he is terrible.
But America is not the only country
that claims the eagle as its own.
Russia and Prussia insist that the
eagle is theirs. There are not enough
noble birds and beasts for the nations
that are and have been and are to be.
Rome adopted the eagle as its ma
tional emblem many centuries ago.
That does not give Rome any perma-
nent right to our bird; and the eagle
is ours as much as it ever was Rome's.
But we have one bird that is our
very own, and that is the turkey That
bird grew all over America wherever
the Indian corn was cultivated, and
that was all the way from New Eng
land to Mexico and even farther.
When Cortez in 1919 first reached the
realm Of the Aztecs, he was Toasted by
Montezuma with royal splendor, and
the meat was raost turkey. The Az
tees had already domesticated the fowl.
Tt was plentiful also in its wild state
there and north of the Rio Grande.
The turkey was taken by the Span
iards first to Spain and then to other
Mediterranean countries, and thence
to the eastern nations of Europe and
the north as well. On June q, 1870,
when Charles TX. of France married
Elizabeth of Austria turkey imported
from the wilds Of America graced the
feast.
The Pilgrims of Plymouth had tur-
keys on the first Thanksgiving day.
England made the Christmas goose
national and notable; but America has
made the turkey international and
permanently famous.
If we must divide the eagle with
Rome and other nations, we have an
indefeasible right to the turkey. 1t viii
not disp1ace the eagle as an emblem,
but it is vastly better than the eagle
when served on the Thanksgiving plat
ter,

ONE VERSUS THREE HUNDRED

Following the article which appeared
in The News of Sunday, urging that
the case of the citizens committee

THE city commissioners have
decided that Palafox wharf is the
best site for a municipal dock.
In this The News agrees, and we
are satisfied the commissioners,
who all along have shown a very
commendable spirit, will be glad
10 submit the issue to the people
for a decision, provided Of course,
the disagreeing faction will abide
by the win of the people at an
election"
In other words, The News having
backed the city commissioners In its
losing fight, and the city commissions
ers having failed, now on the advice
of one Pensacola merchant as opposed
to the sentiment Of three hundred and
ninety-four, as recently expressed at a
public meeting, urges that the Palafox
dock site still enter into the PROPOSE
ton, and the question be put to vote
At the first mass meeting of citi-
zens that was held a vote was taken
and sentiment was SO strongly opposed
to the Palafox docks that more than
two thirds Of those who attended that
meeting signed themselves as opposed
to the Palafox docks, and in signing
their names to the slips that were
passed, pledged financial support to
fight the case in the courts, should
this prove necessary, the chairman at
the meeting having called attention to
the fact that signing these slips meant
q virtual pledge of financial support
Of the movement.
At the next meeting of nearly four
hundred persons, a standing vote was
taken and all but two in the audience
rose to show their opposition to Pala-
fox wharf as a site.
These business men who made up
this meeting, men who represented
practically every business in Pensa-
cola, We're SO sincere in their motives
that in less than twenty minutes the
sum Of five hundred dollars had been
raised in order to institute legal pro-
ceedings to restrain the commissions
ers from the purchase Of the Palafox
docks.
on the strength OF this meeting.
of men from all businesses
and organizations Of the city, legal
proceedings were instituted and the
court has rulued that the city COM
have no legal right to pur-
chase the Palafox docks.
Yet The Evening News, at the be-
hest Of one man, is virtually calling
upon the people of Pensacola to set
aside the opinion of the court, and to
60 to the expense OF calling an cleo
ton to decide something which the
courts have already decided.
In view of the fact that member
Of the counsel which is engaged by the
city commissioners to defend them. in
this suit, is also part owner of The
Evening News, the editorial In ques-
ton, to say the least, seems to be in
poor taste, at this time.
