LEARN A TRADE.

The value of learning a trade be-
comes more and more apparent every
day. Scarcely week passes but
some young man is asking us to
point out a field of labor for him.
With good attachments, perhaps, or
an Unsuitable desire to be at work at
something whereby an honest penny
may be turned he finds himself land
ed as IL were at the first ebb of the
tide. The slightest recession of the
waters deposits him on the shore
among the weeds of idleness and
unwholesome vapors becloud his
mind. There is scarcely a man in
business but has had an experience
like our own; his young friends con-
tinually enyying him the privilege of
working a well-defined field, and
wishing that like him, they had
something to strike at.
These young men are generally af-
flicted with the disease of ambition.
They want to be something more
than common, and mistaking often
their desires for ability to satisfy
them, they flatter themselves that
they are fit for something better
than the common run of humanity.
achieve manhood without serving an
apprenticeship to it and they find
themselves, when they should be
prepared for their lifework. wonder
ing what it will be, and fretting be-
cause it does not declare itself, and
in nine cases out of ten waiting in
vain for such a call, they get into
politics, agencies, etc.
The great remedy for all this is
trade thoroughly learned. The time
between school and twenty-one
should be spent at the carpenters
bench, in a machi;.e shop or at an
anvil so that when the young man
commences his battle with lie in
any vocation he can, if worsted at
his first attempt, turn to his trade
with confidence that his skilled lab
or will at least procure him living,
and perhaps a competence. Time
frittered away in trying TO discover
desirable roads to success foots up
a considerable total on the loss side
of the balance sheet.

Love and Machinery.

The man who does not love his
farm machinery never ought to have
any. He ought to be compelled to
do his blowing with a crooked stick
and brush his grain with the top of
tree, because he will let his tools
rot and rust out in the fence corner
and laugh at you when you tell him
there is better way. Love takes care
Of the plows and binders and the
threshing machines. Nothing else will.

COOLING The FARMER.

Under the caption line of "Fooliag
the Farmer the Washington Post
comments on the passage by the SEN
ate of the Fordney emergency tariff
bill in rather sarcastic vein. The Post
takes the same position as that held
by The Journal, that the law is dis
criminatory, sectional and absurdly
unjust. The Post says:
The emergency tariff bill passed
the senate by vote of 43 to 80, and
now some of the 43 senators WHO
voted for it are looking with longing
eyes to the white house. fearing lest
the presidential veto be not forthcom-
ing. For it is no secret In the halls
of congress that the bill was passed
under the distinct belief and under
standing that the president would dis
approve l.. If that belief should prove
unfounded. some OF the 4S senators
will have considerable explaining to
do.
The bin is. If anything, more obfec-
lonable now than when ii went from
the house to the senate. for the rea
son that senators have increased some
or the inordiuately high tariff rates on
farm products voted by the house lis
purpose is plainly to prevent the as
ricultural interests from losing money
on last years crops. and that n,,rnosa
can only be accomplished by imposing
add'uonal charges on the cost of Iiv-
ing. Should the bill become a law. its
erect would be to take ST 600 OO0 oOn
from the pockets of the American peo-
pie and hand them over TO speciaI in
terests.
That the bill is class and sectional
legislation cannot be denied. 1t sin
sies out one industry-one with a ire
inendous voting potentiality-for pref
erentiai treatment and leaves others
10 languish and revive under the ten
der mercies of economic laws.
Untll about week ago some repub-
lican senator's were in a jam with re-
spect to this bill They could not af-
ford to vote against the farmers. and

A DAILY MESSAGE
BY DR.. WILLIAM (. BARTON
HUMAN NATURE

1t is very popular to abuse human
nature. When a man does a contemp-
tibly mean thing, we say, well, it's
human nature" We assume that it is
human nature to be dishonest, selfish,
unkind. That is true. It is human
nature to do and be all that ever has
been charged against it.
But human nature is the very best
nature we know anything about on
this earth. 1t is better than the ma
ture of worms or snakes or wolves or
tigers.
If there is any hope for the world,
it is not in turning human nature out,
and giving the planet over to the owls
and bats; it is in making human ma
ture better.
/ knew a man who was by nature
selfish and mean. / will not pretend
that he ever wholly overcame a nature
that was what il was by inheritance
and long training. But he became a
better man, and lived kindly and gem
erously. To be sure, there was always
an element of stinginess in his gen
crosby; a SAVIOR of meanness in his
goodness; but there was O. great
transformation.
The wonder was not that he was
not perfect, but that being so imper-
feet he did so we'll
Human nature is not fixed and I'M
alterable. It has changed since the
day of the cave-man. 1t has not
changed as much as it ought to have
changed, and some of the changes
have not improved it much. But after
all it has changed.
The human jaw has shortened, and
the forehead has risen; the kindlier
passions have a larger place in the
mind of the individual and the spirit
of the race.
/ have read history too much and
too carefully to suppose that in my
own generation / am going to witness
any miraculous transformation of hui
man life. But 1 do expect to die see
ing the world little farther along
toward the goal, and human nature a
little more human than when I began.
That hope gives me great courage,
and 1 should like you to share it with
me.

A BUSINESS VISIT.

A party of Pensacola business men
and women lett yesterday for seven
day trip down the East Coast of Flori-
da. The purpose of the trip is 10 show
and to be shown. The Pensacolians
will see what the people of the east are
doing and will show the people of the
east that the folks of west Florida are
active in finding out things.
The value of the trip Will not come
by what we say and learn of the peo-
pie of the east coast, except inciden-
tally, but the great value viii be the
advertising which the people of Pen
sacola and Escambia county will re-
ceive in the papers of the east coast.
Such trips as the one being made
now are but extensions OF the friend
ship" tours inaugurated by the Rotary
club last year. The Rotarians confined
themselves to trips into the cities adj
jacent to Pensacola where they made
many friends and learned many things
about the riches OF this section of the
south.
The trip to southeast and south
Florida will be OF value in that it will
give the people of the two sections
of the state opportunity to meet and
compare ideas, and will give the peo-
pie Of the east and south an oppOrtun-
ity and a reason for talking favorably
about us. Naturally our people are
going to be favorably impressed.
The east coast is remarkably devel-
oped. Great riches have been poured
into the east and greater riches have
been taken out. These things, the To-
cal people will learn, and the lessons
will prove profitable

The elder Mrs. Graham shuddered
fastidiously.
You always did have low tastes,
Richard" she said, caustically. and L
wondered if she did not mean to con-
vey the intimation that one evidence
of her statement was the selection of
his wife. My impression was con-
firmed a moment later, as she turned
to me:
"Of course you would enjoy this
farm idyl sort of thing" she said iron
ically. THAT is a foregone conclu-
sion after your selection of this house."
It was one of those cutting catty
speeches which are very hard to bear.

the occasion of her insults to Harry
and Lillian Underwood to make my
mother in-Iaw understand that she
must never interfere with my affairs
again. / had firmly resolved that 1
would bear, without murmuring, all
the little pin pricks she chose to give
me. She was an old woman, Dicky's
mother, and a semi-invalid. 1 could
surely afford TO pass unnoticed the
trif1ing annoyances if I had my own
way in the big issues.
So | turned a smiling, unmoved face
upon her and spoke cheerily:
why, yes, mother, do like those
farmhouse resorts, but If you don't
and cannot go to them, why, perhaps
Dicky can find some other place where
we can all GO"
/ confess ] was quite surprised to
see Dicky throw a wrathful glance al
me instead of the grateful one for my
forbearance which 1 half expected.
'Dicky will do nothing of the kind"
he declared, emphatically. You and
are going to have week of trout
fishing in the mountains, no matter
who disapproves. If you'll name any
place that you'd like to go, mother,
Wen take you there first and come
back after you when we get back from
the trip"
ooh. don't mind me- returned
Mother Graham, with the Christian-
martyr about he thrown TO the
lions expression which she often af-
fects. II can stay right here. I'm a
little too old to be taken around any
where as If l were a child"
I thought mischievously that that
was just what she was, a child, and
fearfully spoiled one at that, but

it that / had never heard him use

I opened my lips to rush Indignantly
to his defence, but Dicky forestaned
my speech.
II am sorry, mother" he said, with
dignity, that you should imagine me
capable Of counting on your inability
to go with us. I simply did not think
anything about your heart attacks in
connection with the mountains when

lieve you will find that you could go

authority. From all I've learned,
Madge's mother had very serious

interjected, tossing her head, while
mentally scored Dicky's foolishness.

cars as they move through the down
town and residential sections at night.
We do not claim the use of shining
lights on vehicles is as dangerous as
speeding or violation of many other
traffic laws. However. it is at least
nuisance and occasionally does cause
accidents. The chief argument to be
made against them is that they are
wholly unnecessary. But one AUTOMOBILE
list cannot be expected to discard his
bright lights when the man he will
take the initiative is to invite perso-
nal injury. The elimination must be
general and simultaneous. And one
bright light encourages the use of
brighter one. There Is no class quite
