HURLEY BALL TEAM TAKES
TWO FROM BESSEMER
Bessemer Cot String of Goose Eggs
in Sundays Game. Hurley Grabs
Mondays Game 6 to 3.

Hurley made it two straight from
Bessemer by taking the Memorial
Day game by the score of E to 3.
Bessemer was shut out III Sundays
game while the locals piled up 7
runs.
With such old timers as Whit
man, Clifford and Emunson in the
lineup Hurley had an easy time of
it with Bessemer in Sundays game.
The local boys not only played their
positions we'll but also pounded the
ball to all corners of the lot, in
Guiding several that went over the
fence for two stations. Two Hur-
leyites, Harrington and Schwab,
made home runs. Rinto for Bess-
emer was landed on so hard that
he was forced to retire in the fourth
inning. His twisters were connect
ed with for a total of seven hits,
netting six runs. Rinto was sue
ceeded by Hoeft, but as Hurley al
ready had the game on ice there
was no need of continuing the
agony.
Lubi was on the mound for Hur
ley and he upset the theory that
he was a short. term slab artist by
pitching the full nine innings And
he pitched good ball too, allowing
but four safe ones and we'll scatter
ed at that.
That the Hurleyites played good
ball is evidenced by the fact that
but one error was chalked against
them. This one occurred in the
fifth inning when Whitman got in
front of grounder that was too
hot to handle. Nothing serious re-
suited from the error, however.
Bessemer made four miscues.
Following is the score by innings:
Ri &
Hurley -. Il / / 10 x-7 9 /
Bessemer 30 0 0 0 0 20 90 A 4
Batteres-Lub and Hunt; Rinto, Hoeft

Rinto 6, by Hoeft 6; time, LAO; umpires,
Aspinwall and Donich.
Hundreds of Hurley fans &C
companied the team to Bessemer
and witnessed the Memorial Day
game.
Another Hurley pitcher made
his debut in the person of Lefty"
Swedborg, who has been playing at
first Many of Lefty friends have
been of the opinion that he could
pitch and after seeing him perform
in Mondays game they are sure of
it. He had regular whip, put
lots of stuff on the ball and acts
like veteran. He Just twisted
them all around those Bessemer
fellows, only five whom connected
safely, and nine famed the breezes.
Hurley took the first two innings
to warm up and in the third opened
up on Hoeft's bill Of fare and
smashed it all to smithereens. Five
successive hits were gathered in
this inning, netting four runs. 1t

terry Of the Cosgrove farmhouse in the
Catskills which had so puzzled me.
After our first supper at the farm
house the evening before, we had been
shown d collection of pictures in the
farmhouse parlor from the brush of
Mrs. Cosgrove's brother. Robert Sa-

Dicky had recognized the artists
work at once, and had pronounced the
collection to be worth at least $4,000.

at the announcement, her ejaculation

all these things pointed in my mind, to
some dangerous secret in possession Of
the Cosgrove family.
But Dickys words had given me the
clue.
Robert Savarin must be alive, and

he was living.

A DAILY MESSAGE
BY DR.. WILLIAM E. BARTON
TIE ISOLATED MAN.

Words have a queer way of drifting
from their original meaning. The
word prevent" for instance, means ito
go before" It is a word built up as
plainly as a word can possibly be con-
structed, out of a Latin verb which
means to go, and a proposition which
means ahead. This was the simple
meaning of the word in the days Of
Shakespeare and the Pilgrim fathers.
Governor John Winthrop tells that
when the Massachusetts colony had set
a day of prayer for rain, the Lord
prevented our prayers; that is, it
rained before the day of prayer arrixed.
The English prayer book asks that
the grace of God may always pre-
vent and follow u.s." One of the psalms
tells us of a sorrowful singer who pre-
vented the dawning Of the morning
and cried" That does not mean that
he cried so loud the sun was afraid to
rise. but that he woke before the morn

It has come about, and we may well
be sorry for it, that the man who gets

An unwarranted Lnfrinaement-

AS recently stated in The Herald,
there is no reason why the people of
this country should be drawn into the
affairs of Ireland. Much as many of
our people sympathize with the cause
of Ireland, DESTROYS as is the entire
nation that the wrongs of that country
should be righted, it is still our duty
as a nation to do nothing that might
cause dangerous friction with a friend
Iy pOwer-One that was our staunch
ally in the world war.
1t is also our duty to see that the
rights of all visitors to our shores are
respected to the full; that no one who
desires to present a cause in a tenn
perte and lawful manner should be
prevented from so doing. Under such
a performance of national duty, the
Irishman and the Englishman would be
entitled to similar rights in presenting
each his cause to the American peo-
pie.
But as it is, many Of our hot headed
Irish friends rise in their Indignation
whenever an Englishman attempts to
speak in the United States on the Irish
Question. This was demonstrated a
few days ago in Chicago, when Sir
Philip Gibbs, a fair-minded and able
newspaper correspondent, was mobbed
by Sim Fem sympathizers and would
have been dragged from the stage had
it not been for the protection grant
ed by the police. /.
There is nothing rabid about Sir
Philip Gibbs-he was knighted by the
English government for his splendid
newspaper work during the war-as he
takes a mild stand on the Irish ques-
ton. This is his attitude, stated by
himself: Il am not anti-Irish or pro-
British. I'm reporting facts a I find
them, and my whole object, ii I have
any, is TO bring peace and understand
ing between the two countries" Such
a man is surely entitled to a hearing,
and it is an unwarranted infringement
upon his rights when any man, or body
of men, presume to deprive him of it

ing could not have occurred in an
ideally unselfish world: the man who
got there first would be a helper of the
next man to arrive. What a blessing it
would have been, and what a fine COM
ment on humanity. if prevent" had
come to mean ito help. in the sense of
person who has the advantage using
it for another's good. The change
might quite as well have been of that
sort.
But there is another change worth
speaking of. The root Lido" is COM
mon in Greek, and enters as a COM
pound into our words "idiom," "idio-
matte" ''idiopathic" and others. It's
meaning is "one's own or "one's self"
Naturally. our English derivatives
from this root are not all adjectives
and adverbs: there is a noun descrip-
tive of the man who acknowledges no
standards but his own, and seeks no
others welfare than his own. That
word, as everyone knows is idiot" 1t
means nothing more nor less than a
completely self centered person.
Now, it is interesting to see how this
word has modified it's meaning. The
isolated man who lives the isolated
life, the life of complete self-hood can
not be that of a person Of much learn
ing: So by Jeremy Taylor's day, the
word idiot was used of ignorant per
sons; and he said the Scriptures We're
good for them as well as for the learn
ed. But the word still changed, and
by the time Blackstone wrote his great
law-b book, he defined an idiot as "a
natural fool that hath no understand
ing"
Really, if you stop to think of it.,
that definition is not wholly strange.
If one could find man completely
satisfied with himself, completely will
ing to learn nothing and receive Moth
ing from any other human being. and
determined to do nothing for anyone
else, there would be some justice in
maintaining that the change in the
meaning of the word had done no great
violence to its generic idea.
A social world is no place for COM
pIetely self-Centered man.

The Same Old Effort To
Dismember Florida

The peculiar geogra phical formation
Of Florida, with the larger part Of 1t
peninsular and the rest Of it a long
thin line lying west Of the Apalachicola
river just south Of the Alabama line
presents a constant temptation to a
limited number of people in both Ala
bama and Florida to agitate the sub
ject of cutting off nine counties west
of the river and annexing them to Ala
bama by sale to that state.
Even the legislature of Alabama has
yielded to the temptation and has ap-
pointed a commission to confer with
a similar commission which it hopes
the coming legislature of Florida will
appoint, to meet and confer on the de-
tails of the sale. Alabama wants nine
of the counties, embracing ell the ter
ritory west of the Apalachicola and is
willing to pay for them, and we violate
no confidence when we tell her that
she will never get them.
In the first place Alabama is heavily
in debt and is having a hard time to
make ends meet as it is, and she would
never be able to meet our price, which
would be Of staggering size, even If
there was possibility of sale. And in
the second place the people of Florida
have too much pride and self-respect
and sentiment and horse sense to con-
sent to the mercenary butchertng of
their state that would take from them
one of its fairest sections, rich in price
less historic memories and fertile in
all the elehaaRtslbf natural wealth. And
in the third place the Florida legisla-
ture will not appoint a commission to
meet that from Alabama, if we under
stand the spirit of our people; the vOt-
ers would never ratify such sale,
and it is very doubtful if congress
would give it's consent.
Governor Hardee has announced
himself as opposed to anything of the
kind, and we don't doubt that large
majorityIof the next legislature thinks
as he does on the subject. Even Mex
leo, with an empty treasury, scorns
the proposition to sell the barren waste
of Lower California to this country for
a big price, nor will any people, who
have normal self-respect submit to the

for a mere money consideration

Personality

Personality
Two restaurants were set up in d
certain town. One was operated by
man who had experience in the
kitchens of a large hotel. He could
cook anything from flapjaCks to frica-
seed frog legs. Only one thing was
lacking. He was not congenial. Folks
were not impressed by him. He did
not know how to approach people for
he had never cultivated those personal
graces of mind and body which COM
mand attention and give ease and
poise in personal intercourse. AS a
subordinate in the kitchen he might
have been all right. AS manager of
a restaurant he failed.
His rival may not have been quite
as well versed in culinary science, yet
people usually left his place of busi-
ness feeling that they had gotten just
a little bit more than they paid for.
To begin with. he was q man of album
dant physical and mental vitality, but
what is more important, he never let it
fall below par. What he did was al
ways happily timed. What he said was
always appropriate. Somehow he had
discovered the magic formula for
mixing it with waffles and sympathy
with syrup. AS his prospective GUS
toner diagnosed the astronomical sit
uation he was diagnosing the mind
and mood Of the man who scanned the
menu. Sometimes il was an under
standing silence with an occasional
word of cheer and comfort.
Again il was humorous anecdotes
and witticisms. Do you wonder that
men loved to frequent his place Of
business and that he is still prosper
ing and doing we'll?
Character like a dynamo is no more
efficient than the machine to which it
is attached. Yet many men take more
pride in an automobile or pointer dog
than they do in their own personal
we'll being and appearance.
If others of less brain power and
more doubtful character are forging
ahead of you in the social and bust
ness world, nine times out of ten it is
because they are usipg what they've
got to advantage. You can do the
same thing.
Keep your physical machine at its
best. Take time to cultivate harmony
and gracefuluess in the bodily move
ments. It's not so much what you do
as how you do it.
Most people Judge you by what
you may consider the little things of
life. With them it's not the books of
philosophy or science you may be per
suing in the quiet hours of solitude
It's your personal appearance, the

your smile, the depth of your frown,

STE. THERESE.

At shutdown when the vesper gong
Chimes its notes with the evening
song,
A peasant picks his way along
The road to Ste. Therese.
With oaken stick he taps his way,
Through the dusk of the dying day,
In reverence TO kneel and pray
To God at ste. Therese.
There Is no sight within his eyes
To glimpse the gorgeous evening
skies,
And, while ne walks, his brave heart
cries,
you guide me, ste. Therese!"
They know him at the worship place,
And know that once the eyeless face
Was fair as any e'er to grace
The church of ste. Therese.
And then the warl This peasant lad,
Ger quick to so seemed happy, glad,
To give whatever gifts he had
To France and ste. Therese.
Somewhere out there IN Picardy
He met the hosts of Germany,
Who left him blind, no more TO see

And now. no matter what the day,
To church he picks his sightless way.
There walks beside him. people say,

The New Administration and CAGE
of Eugene Debs-

Indeed, there is something rotten in
Denmark when a prisoner-aye move,
a man convicted of espionage when
the destiny of this nation was in the
balances permitted to leave his cell
unattended and travel to the capital OF
the United States to confer with the
attorney-general about his own re-
lease.
This is what Eugene Debs did: and
it doesn't take a prophet to predict
that the prisoner will be restored to
citizenship and turned loose to preach
his socialistic doctrines once mora
disgrace, and an insult to every loyal
hearted American, and particularly to
those boys Debs sought to betray.
The war is over, yes; but the debts
are yet to be paid. And it is a strange
spirit which prompts the government
officials to even consider the cancel
lation of the debts the traitors-that is
really what they were-piled up
against themselves. and which should
be paid to the last moment of SEN
tence. The dead are still dead; the
wounded are still crippled; the Liberty
bonds are still unredeemed; all the
shadows of war still hang Iow-and
the idea of handling sunshine on a sill
yer platter to the unfaithful is pre-
posterous! Yet this is what the admin
istration intimates that it is about
to do.
On the precedent set, any convict
asking for a pardon should be permit
ted to visit unaccompanied the official
in whom the power of his pardon is
vested. Debs is a convict, and while
We believe that he is sincere in his
views, the prisons of this country are

prisons hold boys who violated the
rules of war; many of these are unso-
phisticated country lads swept off
their feet by the extraordinary circum-
stances in which they were so sud-
denly thrown, but who deep in their
hearts were Americans through and
through. Not all belong to this class,
but some; and while these are paying
the penalty for their offenses-mOstly
all minor ones-it is to smile to think
of the arch offender, Eugene Debs, go

STATE VOCATIONAL EDUCATION.

The third annual report of the state
board for vocational education has
been received. 1t indicates a great
amount of work accomplished with
limited funds and an even greater pro-
gram for the present year and the one
to come. The federal fund provided
by the Smith Hughes act increases
each year until 1926 and each state, in
order to avail itself of this fund must
match dollar for dollar.
Florida's gain in population in the
last decade was 2S.4 per cent. The
nation as a whole gained 14.9 per cent.
For that reason Florida is to receive
an increase in it's annual allotment
from the federal fund of $3,799.96,
maNing a total available this year from
the federal government of $37,7S7.34.
Last year the expenditures, exclusive
of the salary of the state director,
printing, supplies and community
equipment, was $SS, 1876, indicating
that the program for 1921, if it is car
ried out on the extended scale planned,
will require very consistent state aid.
1t is under this plan that the James
M. Tate school at Gonzalez is conduct
ed. This school has both agricultural
and home economies sections. There
are also two classes in industrial edu-
cation in Pensacola being conducted
under this plan and two courses were
conducted in craftsmanship.
The work is comparatively new in
the state and many do not know of its
existence, yet it provides an oppor-
tunity for those who have had little
chance to attend school, to learn while
they earn and thus to obtain the edu-
cation in their trades which will give
them advancement.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1921-04-01

companies are taking a larger
share of the new business develop
ed in their trade. while the United
States Steel corporations rate of
production shows a material de-
crease. However, unemployment
shows a steady increase. and ac-
cording to maximum estimates
now amounts to about 20 per cent.
of the total employed during the
boom period. But the depth of this
cut in employment Is not so i'm
pressive when it is remembered
that many of those employed in the
boom period were drawn from
farms and from positions of de-
dependence to which they can re-
turn.
