The Journal Is glad to print
short communications from read
ers on any topic Of interest.
Letters should be typewriter II
possible. and double spaced.

Dear Journal:
/ have read with much interest the
letter by Col. w. j. Simmons, imperial
Wizard of the knights of the Ku
Klux Klan, and fully believe that
his statement as regards the assoeia-
ton is true, and that there is moth
ing detrimental to any state or CITY
to have an organization of that kind
in our midst.
/ am against any body of men,
care not under what name, that ere
not law abiding and will help to keep
down wrong and crime. I fully in
dorse the old Roman edict engraved
on the law tables, Fiat Justitia fuat
cullaum, DO right even though the
heavens FAIL but there are always two
sides to anything and to any ques-
ton, and also there must be and is,
a motive, and the reason why anybdy
either man, or few men, will run
the risk and make themselves liable
to punishment by the laws of the
country in which they live. to COM
NIT any act detrimental and injurious
to the locality Of either the city or
the county, 1t is not reasonable.
There must be some good reason.
To rid the community of law break
ers is right and as a citizen of this
fair city of Pensacola for fifty five
years, and have children and grand
children, and the bones of my loved
ones resting under the floral declSed
soil of this city, / want to help and
do all in nay power to keep the name
of Pensacola clean and to aid, with
all my might in preserving an IN
soiled reputation, and that the oldest
city in the United States viii always
be entitled to the word "Shulouto."
Oh, what beautiful sight and what
a beautiful city, not alone in outward
appearances, for the old saying is,
beauty is only skin Deep" but that
the people, the inhabitants, that make
the community and city, will be known
as law abiding and law enforcing and
righteous living citizens. When each
one will do his level best and that
all may work together for the up
building and the uplifting for a great
err Pensacola, not alone in the phys
ical health giving proposition, but in
the moral and spiritual and see to it
that no acts, either by the individual
or any number or public will do acts
that will reflect or blacken our "Shu-
louto."
There is a bad element in every
community and this element can only
be minimized and kept in subsection
by a constant vigiIence exercised by
the guardians of the public god.
Remember that eternal vigilance is
the price of liberty.

Vacations.

For vacation, the sensible city
BILE country man goes to the city. The
mountaineer goes to the plain, and
the plainsman goes to the mountains
or forests. The landsman, if he has
love for water, fresh or salt, and
water is accessible. INDUCES that
taste, The seaman takes his reerea-
ton on land. The wise society mon
ger hunts a solitude. The iweller in
lonely places seeks society.
Contrast is the thing, and the quest
of new interests. The body, possibly,
needs rest, but mere physical rest can
be had almost anywhere. The big
thing is mental and spiritual change,
the shock of new scenes and new
people and new customs. And for the
best results. perhaps it is well not to
go to the same place with the same
people year after year. however diff
ferent the place and its spirit may be
from home. Such a method of yaca-
tioning may be charming, and if GER
tainly saves trouble, but it means an
other, rut and an increasing lack of
the stimulus and change needed.
This is a big. varied world. fuIlsof
such a number OF interesting ana
stimulating things that nobody can
ever exhaust them; and the more Of
them person comes in contact with,
the more he grows. Vacation is the
only time when most people have a
chance at this romantic and whole
some quest OF novelty.-Tampa Tri5-

PRESS COMMENT
A Paying Proposition.

n Faytn9 FFoPoStboHs
Few persons recognize the fact that
a community spirit of wholehearted
and helpful cooperation is something
that pays every member Of eommu-
nifty in actual dollars and cents. But
that this is a fact is so evident that
it should require no argument. Noth-
ing pays SO well in actual money vail
ue as well as in the feeling of general
wellbeing, as a healthy and active
spirit of community cooperation,
Too often is it the case that as soon
as a business man begins to show
signs of progress and manifests ten
deney to get out OF the rut, the pack
is at his heels, trying to pull him
down. Perhaps this is simply sur
viyal of the primitive instinct that
demanded that any departure from
the pack average must be punished 10y
death.
1t Is automatic that no member of
community can prasper in a large
and real way, and that no single in
terest or group of interests can pros
per and progress, without passing
along share of his or their prosperi-
ty to the rest of the community. When
the builder, the developer, the real
estate operator, the manufacturer,
makes money, the butcher, the baker,
the grocer, the ciothier, and the taxi
driver, shares in the prosperity; it
simply cannot be otherwise. The man
who makes a bungalow grow where
none grew before, may be making
money out of the operation, but at the
same time he is employing labor, he
is buying materials, he is adding to
the taxable property of the community,
and thus is passing a large share of
his profits on to others.
Development of a real, tangible
spirit of cooperation and mutual help
fulness is the first step in the direc-
ton of community progress and de-
yelopment. Absence of such a spirit
is evidence that community is either
standing still or slipping back; in
ninety-nine cases out of a hundred it
means the latter, because no commu-
nifty can stand still for long, any more
than can an individual cease to grow
without deteriorating.
Nobody likes to be preached at, even
when the sermon is designed to put
money in his purse. But some things
require saying; some texts demand
sermons; and help yourself by help
ing the other fellow fall in that cat
egory,
A well developed community spirit
of helpfulness and cooperation makes
the community grow and makes pros
perity for every member of the COM
munity; the other kind of spirit halts

Hope for Ireland.

North and south Ireland at last
have come together. The Ulster gov
eminent has come into conference
with the Sim Fein government. Bel
fast and Dublin are talking things
over to see If they cannot find ground
on which Ireland can act as unit,
with regard to the recent British adj
vances. De. Valera, after all, lis not
committed against going to London,
on Lloyd Georges invitation.
The irish situation therefore looks
better. With the once relentless Brit
ish cabinet STOPPING to Cancellation,
and leaders of the Irish factions look
ing for way to compromise their
differences. there is hope.
Irish unity, or some working ar
rangement which will serve the pur-
pose of united action, is the first
requisite to settlement of the Irish
question, Efforts in that direction at
Dublin last year failed. There seems
to be a better chance of agreement
now. The new parliamentary govern
ment established in Ulster stands as
an example and invitation to South
Ireland, and Ulster has grown sur
prisingly mild and conciliatory. The
Sim Fem surely is beginning to real
lie that it Is hopeless to expect to
win complete independence, either
by force or negotiation, and to sus-
pect that possibly the time is ripe
now to obtain the maximum degree
of home rule by peaceful methods.

HOW TO GET A HOME

AT least one Pensacola man is in
terested enough in the matter Of own
ing a home to ask and answer ques-
tons about it. He has learned that
at Peoria, H., there are great num-
Der of homes owned by men who did
not have large savings when they
started to acquire their property snd
tells Journal readers how they did it
in the following letter:
There are in the city of Peoria,
with an quarter of a mile of each 9TH
err, about two dozen homes which were
acquired in this way, namely. dollar
down and one dollar week bought the
lots, which cost about 5000 each.
"As soon as spring came the pur-
-chasers and their families moved on
to the lots. some in tents, some in
hastily constructed sheds which We're
later used for coal. They saved the
rent which they would have paid ne
landlord. BY fall, they could buy
enough material to make the first
two. rooms. Of. a. substantial home,
which they built before cold weather
set in.
TN year they had cash saved from
rent paying to venture on neat home.
BY living the pioneer sort of life for
couple of years they had acquired
substantial homes and were independ-
ent of landlords They were dead in
earnest and game enough to stick it
out. Are there any in Pensacola who
would care to try this? Hands up.
How many?

CHICAGO NEEDS MORE
THROUGH TREETS-THEY
ARE A NECESSITY

We heartily endorse the conclusions
reached in the following article from
the North West Side Business Mems
Bulletin:
J. L. Jenkins, in a recent Sunday
Chicago Tribune writes under the title
Motorists Demand Through Roads in
Illinois Bond Issue SYSTEM and cites
the general demand for the building of
the roads for which the people of
Illinois voted a year ago.
If Mr. Jenkins were as mindful of
the demand of the motorists of Chi
cago, or if his paper would permit
him to write on the subject, he would
write under the title Motorists De-
mand Through Streets in Chicago's
Bond Issue" This at least is the way
the people feel. They are able to see
through the flimsy excuse which the
Tribune and other loop interests are
advancing for blocking the improve
ments.
The need for additional through
north and south streets in Chicago is
apparent every minute in the twenty
four hours of the day as evidenced by
the congested conditions on Sheridan
Road and Michigan Boulevard, the
only reasonably good north and south
thOroughfare in Chicago. To delay
the construction of the West Side con-
nections is to prepare disaster and
discontinue to every motorist in Chi
cago
Many people avoid automobile driv-
ing because of the Michigan-Sheridan
road conditions. A large part Of ma
chimes now obliged to use this thor
oughfare could make the trip over a
widened and connected Ashland ave
nue., or Robey street, or Western ave-
nue., in a shorter time and more com
Portable drive.
Is it not time for the large auto
mobile clubs and the large automo-
bile selling companies to express
themselves? The people have voted
for the bond issues for these i'm
provements. Are we going to stand
by and permit a few loop soreheads
to hold them up while so urgently
needed? Let US express ourselves in
an unmistakable manner.
