AS TO PUBLIC health.

About so per cent of Pensacola has
been ras-proofed to date. In fact over
rs per cent Of all food depots have
been completed and these are consid-
cred, by the Public Health Service, as
more important than other structures,
DR.. Spencer has recently returned from
a conference with the Public Health
officials in Washington and desires to
state that the Public Health Service
feels it can not afford to discontinue
the work in Pensacola until practically
all structures have been rat -proofed.
The effect of the good work accom-
plished so far would be entirely lost
unless all rat-proofing is carried to
completion. The last few plague ro-
dents caught in February and March
have conclusively demonstrated the
necessity of this. These rats were
caught under stores while the floor of
the buildings were being rat-proofed
with concrete. Such places comprise
hidden foci of infection and can be
cleaned UP in no way except by rat
proofing. Trapping of rats alone can
never eradicate plague infection among
them and 1t is impossible to be sure
that every focus has been destroyed
unless all structures are at-proofed.
Property owners who have not COM
piled with the rat-proofing regulations
are doing a great injustice to the city
and its progress as we'll as to those
citizens who have complied with the
city ordinances.
Injunction procedures are contem-
plated by the State Board of Health
upon such property and measures will
be carried out as soon as the attorney
general of the state of Florida, who
now has the matter in hand, directs.
Any property owners having rat
proofing work done would save them
selves a lot of trouble if they would
stipulate in the contract that no money
would be paid until the work was APP
proved by the Public Health Service.

THE AMERICAN WAY.

/ Score another for American ingen-
uity and enterprise. Everyone is ia
milar with the story OF how the Ger
mans, obeying orders from Berlin
wrought all the damage within their
power to the great steamship Water
! land, when she was interned in New
York harbor. When our nation enter
ed the war the Germans determined
that the Vaterland should never be any
use to us.
After our declaration Of war, when
our naval officers boarded the Water
land they were appalled, at the destruc-
tion that met their eyes. The machin-
cry and equipment were in ruins. 1t
was not believed at first that any ex-
cept German workmen familiar with
the peculiar construction and possess
ing the original plans could restore the
vessel to her former condition. But
some of our marine experts thought
differently and they were given their
chance. All the world knows the re-
suit. Within an incredibly short time
the Vaterland, rechristened the I4evia-
than, was carrying United States SOL
diers across the sea, 10000 at a time.
Now for the other story. Transfer
nation of the Leviathan from a pas
senger TO a troopship was not so diff
ficult. But recently when our shipping
board proposed to restore the big yes
sci to its original condition as passen-
ger and freight carrier it had no plans
from which to work. 1t asked the
Germans for the original plans and
specifications and the reply was that
it could not have them for one million
dollars. A hold up, of course. The
Germans imagined the job could never
be accomplished without the original
plans.
Now comes word that American ex-
perts in the face of great discourage
ment turned to and began preparing
plans for the work and they have just
been completed at a cost not of mil
lion, but of a quarter of a million dol
lars. To obtain information concern
ing the vessel which the Germans had
ready to hand it was necessary to en-
pIoy a big force of experts. Exact
mea surements of every portion of the
giant vessel had to be made from stern
TO stern. The magnitude OF the task
may not be apparent to the layman,
but technical experts say it was enor-
mour.
Now our men have the double salts

money and defeated the rapacitys Of the

The BADGE OF SERVICE.

When Josephus Raniels, who until
presidents cabinet in the capac city OF
secretary of the navy. slips as 1t were
overnight into the role of newspa-
per correspondent. the incident is in
viting of comment.
Not everywhere in the world would
a transition of this kind be accept
ed as a matter Of course so ca silly as
1T is with us Americans. We would
seem to be in a more fluid state In
this respect than are most people the
world over. We make a school teach
into a governor, a merchant into a
senator. and an editor into a presi-
dent, all with equal facility. And on
completion of the term of office to
which we have called them, we may
send them back into the schoolroom
or office or wherever fortune may call
them.
Ancient customs and traditions re-
ceive less homage from us than they
do from peoples elsewhere. We are
less governed by what in the old
world are known as families. With
US a career is open to the individual
despite the influence or lack of in
fluence of ancestral connections. This
is it's essence is democracy, and,
though some may detect disadvant-
ages in this way of conducting our
affairs, it goes without saying that
the vast majority of peoples the world
over are coming in this more and more
to our way of thinking.
The average of this to the individual
is easily apparent 1t leaves him less
'hampered by caste and class. IN the
performance of his duties, in his quest
for a career, he may make his way at
will on his own chosen road to success.
Josephus Daniels now playing COL
league with the newspaper men to
whom he was but little while ago the
much pursued, is indicative OF what
has endeared democracy to us. AS CT
william he plies his trade just as any
man does. The more we make equal
ity of opportunity vital fact and not
an empty phrase, the more splendid
will be our democracy. The badge Of
service to society should admit any
one to any station in life.

As To Annexation

About every so often there Is more
or less agitation about annexing west
Florida, or the nine counties west Of
the Apalachicola river, to Alabama.
This agitation has recently been re-
vived and we expect it to end, as has
been the case in the past, in mere
talk. Alabama, like Florida, is already
too large and unweildy for good gov
eminent and we cannot see where any
advantage would accrue to west Flor
ida by being tackled on to state that
already has more, territory than it can
govern efficiently. No loyal Floridiar
will think Of submitting to any such
scheme.-Holmes County Advertiser.

State Publicity

Whether a state publicity bureau
would pay is question to be decided
in connection with the proposal to es-
tablish it. We can attract attention
in two ways: BY talking about our
selves, or by doing something to make
others talk about us. Western cities,
where publicity is science and fine
art combined, have tried both meth
DDS with success, and we can do no
better than study their results.
Los Angeles. the strongest example
on earth of the value of advertising,
has used both methods with profit,
but q careful study would doubtless
show that the greater benefit has come
from the things done by that city
rather than from the things said by
its spokesman.
few Of the things which have con-
tributed to its place in the public
mind may be named. 1t has managed

the methods employed by that city to
attract attention.
