AN EMPTY JAIL THAT STAYS
EMPTY.

A recent issue of Capper's Weekly
tells of a county which is proud of
its Jail because it is empty and stays
empty. Washington County contains
900 square miles. 1t has $4,000 in
habitants. In the days before prohi-
bition it had use for a county Jail
with accommodations for sixteen pris
oners. But vacant county jails in Kan
sas and vacant poor houses, are an
oft-told story. The paragraph is
printed for Eastern consumption
merely. How long could $4,000 people
in any wet community get along with
out a Jail and perhaps an insane
asylum? Even in sparsely settled ru-
raj Kansas prohibition has proved
that it was booze and the open saloon
which promoted about rs per cent of
all the crimes

Winthrop Seeks Ideal Of
Service.

Rock Hill, July 1t is becom-
ing more and more a settled idea that
the plant of the great educational in
stitutions should be in use all the
wear and Winthrop is fast approach
ing that ideal. Over 1000 people have
met for various activities at the col
lege since commencement May 81.
Two days after the students left
from every county in the state came
400 women and girls, representing
the home demonstration clubs and
the tomato and pig clubs. Before they
left the members of the State Sunday
School association came in to the
number of 727 from outside the city
over 40 counties being represented
A few days after this meeting the
summer school began. for which
about 1000 registered. There was an
attedance Of AZ upon the conference
of city superintendents and high
school principals, held during the past
week.
Other meetings scheduled during
the summer session are short
course for women, July a to 16, a
conference of nurses and hospital
workers, a conference of teachers OF
adult illiterates, and conference OF
members of the League of Women
Voters.
With the opening of the Segular
session September 21, Winthrop will
pretty nearly have fulfilled the ideal
of all the year work. In fact the ac-
tivities will be suspended only long
enough to permit the renovation of
the buildings in preparation for the
coming session.

A DAILY PRAYER-cREED.

o Lord, grant that today I may be
kind
To those around me; that may be
blind
To their faults and failures. Help
me to praise
Each honest endeavor and through
the days
Hard tasks to smile. o Lord, help
me to speak
A CHEEKY word to all the faint and
weak,
To speak word of comfort to the
sad;
And when the day is done may hearts
be glad
Because 1 have been serving Thee.
o Lord, grant that today I may be
brave
Against each temptation; that thou
wilt save
Me from my sin. o Lord, help me to
be
All that Thou wouldst have me be.
Speak to me
And gently lead me back unto Thy
way.

PAY MORE FOR SHORTER LIFE.

The British life insurance expe-
fience continues to give exact data
as to the more favorable life expec-
tations of insured abstainers and the
financial advantage which it is to
them under the practice in certain
companies of giving them better
rates.
At the annual meeting of the
Eagle, Star and British Dominions
Life Insurance Company, May 12,
1921, a report was given. of the
"Sceptre Fund" which represents the
old "Sceptre Life Insurance Com
pany taken over by the first named
company some years ago. The Scep-
tire Company always had very care
fully selected class of risks as shown
by the low general mortality rate.
Records, given in this annual report
show that for a period of thirty-six
years in the General Section, out OF
100 death expected 1878 occurred;
in the Temperance Section out of 100
expected deaths only 81 (50.9S) oc-
Cured.
The abtainers do not have to pay
for the drinking habits of the insur-
ed moderate drinkers, but receive
their insurance at rate about 10
per cent less than the General Sec
ion. In other words, the moderate
drinker pays an additional 10 per
cent for the privilege of shortening
his life.
Of 100 expected deaths, General
Section, 78 occurred.
Of 100 expected deaths, Abstinence
Section, only 81 occurred.

The Waitress Revenge.

This girl doesn't pretend to be in
the craftsmanship class. But she
showed telephone manager thing
or two in simple justice.
She had had occasion to do some
long distance telephoning fom Still
water, where she is waitress in a
restaurant. She did not get the party
with whom she wished to talk. Never
theless she had to pay for the mes
sage under the Burlesonian station-to-
station, person-to-person system.
A day or two later the manager of
the telephone company at Saltwater,
to whom she had protested in vain
for charging her merely for "the re-
port" that the party she wished talk
to was not available for conversation,
was waited on by this waitress.
Among other things he ordered was
cherry pie. He was advised that the
larder was innocent of cherry pie at
that time. AS he came up to the CASH
ier he noted on his check that the
pie was charged to him just the
same.
He protested, somewhat violently
just how violently one may imagine
by picturing himself in his place. But
the waitress was there with the quick
reply that the charge was for "the
report" that there was no cherry pie
to be had.
This pie story ought to travel the
length and breadth of the land. The
charge the waitress made was exactly
as legitimate as the charge she had
been compelled to pay.-Sioux Falls

Foch Sends July 4th Message
to United States.

Paris, July 3.-Marshal Ferdinand
Foch of France, commander-in-chief
of the allied armies, today sent
through the Associated Press mes
sage to the American nation on the
occasion of the anniversary of the
declaration of independence.
The message embodies a tribute to
the American army, paid by the man
who led to victory the allied forces
with which that army fought, and to
the people of the United States as a
whole for their "unparalled effort in
every branch of national activity
which did so much to bring ultimate
triumph to the allied armies.
1t was Germany's intention, says
the marshal to settle the fate of the
entente before United States could
engage effectively into the struggle,
but America, "acting strongly and
quickly. ruined the plans of our ad-
versary."
Mashal Foch goes fully into the
record and details the various steps
through which American help was
given the forces arrayed against Ger
many in the great struggle. He points
out the needs of the allied fighting
front in the early stages of the cru
cial 1918 campaign, and how, item
by item, the American aid to meet
those needs was given-in men, ships
and supplies-as result of the con-
centrated national effort, and final
ly the great and telling part played
by the American army organization
on the battle fields and behind the
lines in France.

HIGH COST OF LOW LIVING.
By DR.. James I. Vance, in Charleston
Mail.

By DIR. James l. vance, IN CharlesIon
Mail.
It was not a preacher but a law
yer who said it. That makes it ar
resting. He said it in an after dinner
speech, which makes it more arrest
ing: "The high cost Of low living"
Low living comes high. The most
expensive thing in the world is sin.
Let the young man who has wasted
his substance in riotous. living go on
the witness stand and tell what he
thinks about it.
Walk through an alcoholic or
syphilictic ward in hospital, and.
look at the rotting bodies of the poor
wretches who are paying the price
of sin, and reach your own conclu-
sion.
The cheapest thing in the world is
just to do right.
But the money cost is the smallest
item of expense in low living.
The man who stamps on conscience
and crucifes ideals and follows the
beck and call of the lower side of his
nature, following on in the track of
lust and sensuality, sacrifices the fin
est and noblest things in life.
His own nature is paying the price.
He is daily dropping down into the
animal. The law in his members is
triumphing over the law in his mind.

The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1921-02-07
NATIONAL EDITORIAL
ASSOCIATION

In Just a little over a month, on
March II for exactness' sake, the
National Editorial association viii
visit Pensacola. The meeting here will
be one Of the most valuable publicity
and news advertising events ever
known to the city Florida is extreme
ly fortunate in having the National
Editorial association hold it's meeting
here ut all, and IS even more fortunate
that it is this year of all years.
Florida is on the threshold Of be-
coming the richest state in the union.
The western states are worked out.
Most of them are filled UP. The rich
lands have been taken and the pio-
neers who filled the west have been
halted in their march by the blue
waters Of the Pacific.
Now it is the South's turn. This
Is the new frontier. Florida is sure
TO become the mecca for a great num-
Der of settlers who will come TO seek
wealth and health. They will come
as the pioneers of old who built the
great empires Of the West, ready to
work, ready to fight and certain to
win.
The South is ready for the newcom-
ers, ready for men with strength and
determination to build up the unset
tied territory so that the entire state,
city and country alike. shall profit
and grow rich.
Nothing will more quickly change
the current of migration from the
West to the South than publicity, and
no publicity which could be bought
would be so valuable as that which
Florida will receive from the visit of
the National Editorial association.
Pensacola has the distinction of
greeting the editors first, and just as
In ordinary business life the first i'm
preston is exceedingly important, so
is it in this case and the impression
created by the progressiveness of the
Pensacola people will do much to
make the visitors glad they have come
and write back to the folks at home
that this is the promised land.
