A HINT FOR PENSACOLA.
Every bill proposing municipal suffrage for
the women of towns represented by the legisla
tor who introduced the bill has been' passed by
this session of the legislature, and the governor
has promptly signed them. Orlando got such a
measure through early in the session; Winter
Park's measure followed shortly after, and the
St. Petersburg bill is now to be introduced, while
Miama's will soon be on the calendar, thanks to
the sensible attitude taken in the matter by the
city council Thursday night, says the Miami Me
tropolis, That the women of Miami are as fully entitled
to a voice in the city's afairs as are the men of
Miami is fully recognized by every honest man
and woman in the city. Some of the most help
ful organizations in Miami were represented by
the women who went before the city council with
their request for the charter amendment and it
will be found that these organizations and the
individuals composing them, together with every
other intelligent woman in Miami, will be im
measurably more helpful in the city's upbuild
ing and betterment, when they have a voice in
the management of the city's business.
The Metropolis hopes that Representative Wat
son and Senator Hughlett will see that the char
ter amendment is quickly provided and that
. svery Miami woman interested in civic affairs
will get her name on the registration lists.
NATURE AND GOD.
There is no doubt that mixing with men is a
great experience in training for your life work,
. but it is also important to know nature and books
and God. ; "..
If you depend exclusively upon your knowl
edge of men, you will unconsciously absorb much
of their narrowness and prejudice, and thus look
out upon life through the eyes of pessimism, and
there will develop in you a certain worldly-wise
attitude which will effectively shut out the sweet
est and purest things in human life.
But when you open your mind and heart and
allow nature to speak to you, and read the con
clusions and experiences of the world's best writ
ers as found in worth-while books, and if, prin
cipally, you are willing to permit God to rule and
direct you, it doesn't matter what your job may
be- you'll be bigger for it and it will be better
for you. .
Moses spent 40 years in the woods as a shep
herd, so that he might quietly prepare his own
heart and mind for the great task of delivering
the. millions of Israelites from the bondage of
Egypt. x
David likewise spent many years of his life
in solitude tending his father's flocks on the hill
sides of Bethlehem, where he "communed" with
nature, and with nature's God, and he became
Hhe "sweet singer of Israel" the composed of
the wonderful psalms which even today thrill the
heart of the world.
Paul, although splendidly educated in the uni
versities of his day, went into solitude for three
years, so that he might think things through,
before he ventured to become a preacher, but this
preparation helped him become the greatest
missionary in sacred history.
If governments can promote peace by insur
ing France against invasion, surely they have
power to promote peace by insuring workers
against unemployment and hardship in their old
age. ; -
LEGISLATORS AND
g LEGISLATION
(BY JOHN C. TRICE.)
' Tallahassee,- May 24. Judge Joseph
Bellr who formerly -was- county Judge
of Marion county but is now a prac
ticing attorney at Ft. Lauderdale, ,was
among those who came to the capital
on business this week. ' At the time
Judge Bell ..presided over the county
court of' Marlon county -by appoint
ment of Governor Broward, he was the
youngest judge, in the state. Judge Bell
is a brother of Miss Jefferson Bell, -who
for the past two sessions has been'one
of the brightest newspaper representa
tives at the capital. V
THE OLD COMPLICATION.
Everything is very simple.
As Roger Dolan once said: "The only com
plication is ourselves in .reducing things to the
simple."
Every problem has its solution.
Every question has its answer.
Every problem and every question has its so
lution and answer within itself it is just a
question of familiarizing ourselves with the
problem. . -
When a problem remains unsolved- why, it is
that tfie facts and conditions are not known
the problem has not been fully reduced to its
simplicity.- .
Our old friend and neighbor, the High and
Increasing Cost of Living, is a great mystery to
all of us. We used to blame the grocer; now we
blame the food packer, who points to the farmer,
who in turn is pointing back to. the city.
We haven't found him, but we are on our way,
and even though we do not know exactjy where
we are going yet we will finally find him our
old friend the H. C. of L.
We will finally reduce the problem to the sim
ple by knowing all the facts. . .. ' . . '
To illustrate that everything is very simple,
we will consider one of the sciences mechanics
a science understood by relatively few persons.
Take one of the presses on which this news
paper is printed and which is capable of turning
out many thousands of papers each hour.
It looks very complicated.
But study it a little and any of us will see that
it is a series of duplicate machines or units joined
together like duplicate rooms or stories of a
building,, and each capable of producing only a
few thousands of copies per hour.
Then study one of these single units and we
will see that it is based on three very simple
principles:
The wheel, the lever and the wedge; that these,
are the simple fundamentals of the whole science
of mechanics this machine or any machine.

Internal improvement fund. Senator
Singletary said he had asked for a re
port from the drainage offices as to
whether or not this bill met with ths
approval of .the I. I. board and up to
that hour the report had not been ren
dered. He was sorry Senator Hughlett
insisted on bringing it up at this tima
because he might be able to vote for it
at a later date, but could not do so
without more information as to its pro
visions Senators Bradshow, Andrews
Corporal Nat. "Walker, V, S. A., who
has been visiting relatives in Talla
hassee and Wakula county for the past
thirty days, returned to his company at
'Pensacola last, night. Corpl. Walker-
joined the colors long before his coun
try entered the world war.
. When he found his company was not
going over he got. a transfer to the
61st Artillery, battery E, and saw-service
over there for some time. On
br returned to Pensacola he se
ctored a furlough to come home for
;the first time during the three and a
half years he has been in the service.
Corpl. Walker is a nephew of J. C. and
J. I Trice.' .
"Old Man Bill Sheats" will have to
be reckoned with in the coming, prl
mary, and. those rushing Into the race
will have to do something besides an-
unce, if they get the office." ,-ThIs
statement was made to the newspaper
a few days ago by the present incum
bent, Hon. William N. Sheats. ' " Mr.
Sheats has held the office for a long
time, and is a most vigorous campaign
er, hence no one will doubt the state
ment. , -
Senator Hughlett yesterday took up
and passed by a vote of 24 to 3 the
house bill by Mr. Marshall amending

Oh Boy!

View this machine only from its extensions
and derivatives and it is complicated.
View it first from its simple fundamental
principles, and all its derivatvies and extensions
are easily understood,; ; - v
xind so it i? with, all our problems.' .
Every problem has its solution, every ques
tion its answer, but they are more quickly and
easily arived at if the simple basic . underlying
principles pre first sought rather than tracing
them down through" a maze of extensions and
derivatives.
Th3 three leading furniture manufacturing

ERASING THE "NE"
The pillars of Hercules one time bore this in
scription "Ne Plus Ultra,,- meaning "No More
Beyond." . ." I
This stood for a great many years until Chris
topher Columbus was blocked by, the American
continent in his effort to sail around the world
to India. -
Then the negative "Ne" was chisled off and
the inscription now stands 'Tlus Ultra or
"More Beyond." ; v :
Have you reached that stage in your life where
you have inscribed on the columns of your brain
"Ne Plus Ultra"? Do you feel that there is no
more hope for you to succeed in your present or
any future undertakings?
If so, get out your chisel and hammer and cut
off the "Ne." Chisel the "Plus Ultra" a little
deeper, wider and longer. " -;
Get underneath your skull the idea that there
IS more beyond. If you do you'll find it. Just
look what Columbus found by ignoring the "Ne."
There-is a jolt coming for the manufacturer
who believes that patriotism will lead good
Americans to pay him double the price asked by
Hun exporters for the same article.
Government has issued a passport to Mrs.
Gerry's dog. The precedent was established in
1914 when we issued passports to a lot of Wil
helm's hounds. - ........
""it may be that Wilson's point about freedom
of the .seas was ditched by common consent be
cause nobody could figure out what the darned
thing meant.
Empire appeals to the man who does the plan
ning. It does not appeal to the humble home
owner who must do the fighting to win and hold
empire.
Our own opinion is that the reason naturalized
American citizens so seldom appreciate fhe hon
or conferred on them is because it is so' easy to
get.
Note Congress may appropriate 500,000,000 for farms for service me
and Singletary voted against the bill
on final passage. ' :
That there will be a fight made In
the senate to prevent that body con
curring, in the house: amendment to
the citrus canker - bill,; which amend
ment provides for a box tax of one
cent, - was evinced today when the
measure came back to the. senate and
Senator Igou moved that the senate do
not concur The motion was not put,
however, because the house message
had the amendment to read a fourth of
a cent a box nd-the amendment ac
companying the bill had it a cent a
box. The message was returned to the
house to correct the apparent incon
sistency, and the matter never came up
again today. '' -
The amendments appropriating ten
thousand dollars for the protection of
the honey bee- to4tamp out the honey
bee mould, a disease which is said to
threaten that industry in Florida were
adopted by the senate.
