The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1922-12-16

Louis P. Stassinos is dead. He was
good man, and true gentleman,
loyal American and fine citizen.
While he was a native of Greece. he
loved his adopted country and con-
Quoted himself as all liberty loving
Americans should do.
Louis Stassinos was a fine example
of what integrity, energy and right
living will give to a person. He was
successful in business ana everyone
who knew him was his friend, and
today his friends are sad.
Though taken from this world at
time when life's sun was high in the
heavens, Louis Stassinos left here a
name for himself that will endure in
the hearts Of all who knew him, and
the world is better on account Of his
short sojourn.
John Beard didn't agree with the
editorial in The Journal Friday morn
ing about the direct selection of presi-
( dents. In fact, Colonel Beard says
mo intelligent person in the United
States agrees with The Journals po-
sition,"
The Colonel has right to his opin-
ion.
What I think the Colonel really
meant was that he is the only per-
son in the United States with intelli-
gence sufficient to choose presidents.
Colonel Beard says he is going to
write an article showing the folly of
The Journals position. 1 hope he
does. He writes fluently, entertain
ingly, but I don't think he writes
convincingly.
I am sure he will not when he I'M
dertakes to convince the average man
that he is incapable of voting for the
man for president he thinks will best
serve the country. And I think he
will have a harder time of convincing
Mr. Average Man that he should not
have that right, even if he be suffi-
GENTLY intelligent.
At any rate we shall all be pleased
to read what Colonel Beard has to say.
He is a friend of mine and l like to
talk with him, even if we seldom agree
on public questions. He says exactly
what he thinks, which is a quality
admire.
Journal readers Friday morning got
short changed in their paper. They
should have had twelve pages of live,
crisp news and attractive advertis-
ing where they only got eight.
During the last several weeks The
Journal has been adding new equip
ment so that no paper in the country
will be more attractive in appearance,
and that the advertisers may have ex-
cellent service. Putting in this
equipment has delayed the delivery
of The Journal for several days, and
on Friday morning one of the ma
chimes in the stereotype department
went to pieces after eight pages had
been rolled, which necessitated the
leaving out of the other four.
I wonder whether you have been
getting the cary edition of The Jour
nal that is issued Saturday night. If
you have failed to do so, it might be
d good idea to get a copy while You
are down town tonight and take it
home with you to read the magazine
section, the funny papers and in this
way get an early start on your Sum
day reading so you can go to Sunday
school Sunday morning.
You will be pleased to know that the
comic section and the magazine Sec
ton of The Sunday Journal is printed
right here in Pensacola, in The Jour
nails office. This is the second week
this has been done, and no other
newspaper plant in West Florida is
equipped to do this work. There are
many other improvements in The
Journal that will be inaugurated from
time to time, so don't miss an issue.
