Let our inquiry be how the Judge
does his duty and not how much mon
ey he makes. Like all men, the more
money he has the more exempt he is
from temptation. Scarcely anyone can
preach honesty better than a man who
needs no money. The sole issue is
whether he has done anything which
critics could condemn aside from the
fact that he is getting money. Thu
Chicago man who says that he "soiled
the ermine and Slapped judicial
strength by yielding to the temptation
of avarice" probably covets his office
In any event the test of Lands ac-
lions is his fitness and. not the amount
of money he makes.
Story made large sums from his
books and other judges have accumu-
lated fortunes outside OF their judicial
salaries, but they discreetly hid it UNI

of the astonishing growth of the kud-
zu, cutting no less than ten tons to
the acre of the finest hay, valued by
the commissioners of Florida at $35
per ton. It is a soil builder after the
| first year and no replanting and no
fertilizing. 1t is a perennial lsgume
and contains more bacteria on its
roots in which to inocculate the soil
than any other known plant, and no
other plant can produce such a hay
and produce such wonderful rich and
strong meal as is ground from the
kudzu.
Now this great napier grass can
never take away the value Of the
kudzu for either hay or pasture, but
the napier grass yields a cutting GO

wait one year for the kudzu to give
hay from the first cutting. The napier
grass will grow on any pine land in
response to goo dtreatment, but It IS

there is no grass or hay plant that will
give immediate returns like the napier,
as it will give constant cutting from
60 to 80 days after planting, and

stock raisers will take pattern after

Common Sense Ways to
Keep Well
INFANTlLE PARALYsIs
By Or. R.H. BISHOP

4
Despite its name infantile paralysis
is not confined to babies and children.
1t sometimes affects adults. It is a
contagious disease. yet just how it is
spread is not definitely known. In
direct from sick person to a well
person, yet 1t may be passed on by
a third person who has been in con-
tact with q victim Of the disease.
The early symptoms are, as rule,
fever. weakness. frtefulness or irri-
liability, and vomiting. Later there IS
pain In the back, neck, arms or legs,
accompanied by great weakness.
Often cases do not result in paralysis
land these are known as abortive
cases. These, however, are just as in
Ifectious as the more serious case. If
paralysis is to occur it usually appears
from the second to the fifth day after
the disease has developed.
The germ or tiny virus OF the dis
ease is present In the discharges from
the nose. throat and bowels of those
Ill from infantile paralysis. 1t may
also be present in the noses and
throats Of healthy children in the
same family.
Thus it is necessary to keep the
children from a family in which there

ftnti1e paralysis are required By law
to Re rerorted to thu .ocal department
|of heslth, which VIII t.sen placard the
house.
During an epidemic of infantile
paralysis it is well to observe some
rules and precautions that win pre-
vent a great deal of the disease.
The house should ne kept absolutely
clean. Screen all windows against
flies. Garbage should not be allowed
to accumulate and the receptacle
should be kept tightly covered. All
forms of vermni, bed-bugs, reaches
and body-lice. should be killed. Bodily
cleanliness is especially important.
The best preventive Of lnfantiIe par
alysis is absolute cleanliness and strict
observance Of these few important
rules Of hygiene.

MExIco,s FUTURE

Brandy flows freely in Mexico,
which is celebrating the Tooth ami
versary Of its independence from
Spain.
The celebration would cause much
glee among the ancient Mexican Az
| tees who were butchered and en-
shaved by Cortes and his Spaniards.
The Aztecs had the first real civili-
cation on the American continent. We
don't know much about that civiliza-
ton. for when Cortes and his plud-
erers destroyed 1t they also burned the
Aztec picture records.
History, IN the long run, remembers
only the destroyers.
One OF the greatest mysteries Of
antiquity: Where did the Aztecs orig
mate?
In Egypt, some scientists think.
Maybe the Aztecs crossed the Atlantic
on the bridge of land, the Lost Land
of Atlantis, which according to fable
once connected America with Africa.
Supporting the Egyptian theory are
the stone pyramids which Aztecs built
near Mexico City. One of these, erect
ed by sun worshipers, Is 216 feet high
and 761 by 721 feet at the base.
But on those pyramids are hierogly-
phics which Chinese claim resemble
their writing. Did the Aztecs come by
boat from China? That's possible.
There were mighty civilizations in the
past. Ours isn't the only one.
Cortes began destroying Mexico in
1919. He did a thorough job; thought
he had won Mexico for Spain for all
time. He was wrong.
Sept. is, 1919, the village priest ut
Dolores rang his church bell and start
ed the first big Mexican revolution. A
year and six days later. Mexico City
was occupied by rebels. Independence
followed.
Since its emancipation Mexico has
had two emperors-and shot them
both. Presidents usually leave office
feet-first. Trouble south of the Rio
Grande is nothing new. Revolution
in Mexico" was q headline in news
papers that told Of the assassination OF
Abraham Lincoln.
Don't blame the Mexicans for their
revolutions. Blame the Spaniards.

rebellion in the Mexican blood.

USE HOME LAsoR

Editor Pensacola Journal:
Referring to the mass meeting to
be called I would say a few words in
advance. The money is borrowed and
may as well be spent so that the
city may be getting the good of it.
But while they are using labor as a
pretext. be sure to see that labor,
HOME labor, gets the benefit, and not
have another "Chalkey Hatton" job Of
it, letting some one get the cream and
labor take the leayings.
I see the mayor says the city is in
a good financial condition because
there is a lot of borrowed money on
hand, borrowed at a fearful loss, and
the city has just sold $145.O00 notes
to pay a debt long past due. A strange
way of looking al it. In good financial
condition because we owe a vast
amount of money.

QuezOn Calls Meeting
With Harding Triumph
By MANUEL ouEzoN-
President Of the PhiIippine senats

S'aSHt 81 kne rhtllppIne Senate.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 16--As j
leave the United States for home,
look back on my conference with
President Harding as one of the greet
est triumphs of my career.
! am now able to go back to my
people and tell them:
That in no case will the United
States pursue a backward or reae-
tionary policy in dealing with the
Philippines.
That no radical changes in legisla-
ton are planned.
That President Harding aims to
keep administration of the islands
fully consistent with the best interests
Of the Philippine people.
OF course, the great national aim
Of our people is complete and abso-
lutte independence. I shall have to tell
my people that President Harding was
unwilling to discuss independence with
me because he had not received official
reports from his commissioners, GEN.
eral Wood and former Governor
Forbes
But our desire for independence IL
nevertheless still alive and will re-
main so.
1 expressed to President Harding
would be the most powerful factor
conceivable for future world peace.
More than this-world peace is ac-
tually an impossibility until the Philip
pine question is settled.
I urged upon President Harding
that the status Of the islands be fixed
at the earliest possible date.
I pointed out that lengthening the
present condition OF uncertainty can
have nothing bat an evil effect on
Internal political conditions in the
islands.
And / expressed my conviction that
Americas position in the Orient will
be much strengthened If the United
States will adopt firm and perma-
nent policy toward the Philippines
General Wood will take office over
an open minded people. His pre-em1-
nent fitness for office is not ques-
toned by any thinking Filipino.
However, the necessity OF appoint
ing any American as chief executive
Of the islands will be questioned by
every thinking citizen.
It Is not that we question Amer
ica's motives. This question never
has arisen. America has proved her
self our champion and we love her
for it.
Even II we secure independence
there viii be no break with America.
We want her friendship and always
want to demonstrate our friendship
for her.
We are looking forward to eventual
independence. Meanwhile the results
OF my visit TO Washington are high

More About Napier Grass.

Editor Pensacola Journal:
I notice in your issue OF today an
article written by my friend, Mr.. d.
III. Rudd, giving personal experience
as regards the growing Of the napier
grass. I am glad to see that some pro-
gressive farmer Of Escambia county
has taken up the subject and planted
this wonderful grass. and all II needs
is a man Ike Mr.. Rudd TO start it and
be an inducement for others to start.

Challenge of the Law .
New Thriller, Coming


At the Magic City Theater tonight,
Thursday, Challenge Of the Lew" a
William Fox production, will be
shown. The popular William Rus
sell is the star and E. Lloyd Sheldon
wrote the story.
"The Challenge of the Law is de-
scribed as a smashing dramatic pro-
duetion, filled to the brin with sus-
pense and heart interest, which holds
the spectator until the very end.
As a captain Of the Royal North
west Mounted Police, Russell cleans
up a fur-smuggling exchange single
handed, pursues a band of despera-
does across the desert, runs down the
murderers of his pal, and, Of course,
wins the girl he loves.
This picture can be recommended
as one of the really worthwhile pro-
auctions of the season, because of
the clean and wholesome atmosphere
throughout, and because it is a vivid
story interestingly told, with plenty
Of thrills and action.
Helen Ferguson, who appears as
Russell's leading woman in this pic
ture, is an actress who combines
beauty and winsomeness of manner
with marked histrionic talent. She
is well and favorably known through
out the country.
''The Turning Point Friday
Rather than see James Edgerton,
a society youth, waste his life in mere
pursuit of pleasure, Diana Tenant,
played by Katherine Macdonald in
''The Turning Point" which opens at
the Magic City Theater Friday, holds
her love in abeyance9 and risks his
hatred to point out the way Of man
hood to him.
''The Turning Point is the third
and declared to be the best of the
productions of ''the American
Beauty following the forming Of her
own production unit and the nego-
tiations with First National Exhib-
itors' Circuit to distribute her pro-
auctions.

Keeping the secret of a clandes-
tine love affair of a friend nearly
proves the undoing Of the happiness
of Polly Hopkins, played by Mildred
Harris Chaplin in ''PolIy of the Storm
Country" to be seen at the. Magic
City Theater Saturday.
Evelyn Robertson, who some years
before had been secretly married to
an uncouth farmer, Oscar Bennett,

owner and enemy of the squatters.
Rather than betray this knowledge,
Polly risks the loss Of the man she
loves.

Three More Lyceum
Number To Be at ''Y''

There are three Lyceum numbers
still to be given this spring in con-
nection with this winters excellent
Redpath Lyceum Course which the
Y. NJ. C. A. Educational Committee
has arranged for Bogalusans.
The next number viii lappear at
the Y. M. C. A. Tuesday night, Feb
ruary 18th, at 8:15 o'clock sharp.
Harold Proctor, an eminent Irish
tenor, and the supporting artists,
Miss Mae Rees, violinist, and Miss
FIeta Lawrence, pianist, are a trio
which come to US recommended as OF
extraordinary attainments.
Mr. Proctor has sung throughout
the British Isles in concert and ora
torio under such men as Hans Rich
ter and Gaul and other leading COM
posers and English singers. For two
years he was tenor soloist in the
Temple Baptist Church of Los An
geles, the largest church west of the
Mississippi. He has travelled through
out the United States in companies
headed by sue hpeople as hlCCy COR
don, FRITZ Scheff and Charlotte
Greenwood. His voice is one of won
derful softness in gentler cadences
and yet vibrant with power in the
stronger passages.
Miss Mae Rees is of Wlech descent
and comes from a noted musical
family. DR.. Dan Price of Royal Col
lege Of Music, London, England,
spoke of her work as both brilliant
and artistic" and Of her appearance
as "a triumph"
Miss Lawrence is in her third Ly-
ceum season and this word speaks for
her as soloist and an accompanist.
"She is dominated by that fine spirit
of understanding and sympathy so
necessary as the background of an
artist"
