Florida, under Act of Conrress, March 3, 1879 Represented In the General Advertising- Field by CONE. LORENZEN & WOODMAN New York. Chicago. Detroit. Kansas City, Atlanta TUESDAY MORNIKG, MAY 27TH, 1919 ARE YOU AN AMERICAN t In the last few months the Bureau of Naturali zation, U. S. Department of Labor,, has distrib uted to public schools upward of 114000 copies of its textbook on citizenship, authorized by act of Congress, May 9, 1918. Besides this, thou sands of candidates for citizenship have been awarded certificates of graduation by the Bu reau of Naturalization, showing that the course has been completed, and that the graduates are prepared to undertake the duties of citizenship with the full undertsanding of those duties.. In Boston there have been successfully com pleted a series of examinations. There a school of citizenship has been started from which al ready 150 aliens have been graduated. These graduates have themselves instructed large classes of foreigners, one teacher having within three months taught 450 aliens and assisted them to get their naturalization papers. And this is all very well, as far as it goes. But it does not go far enough. The schools should be extended, beyond the confines of the public schools and the aliens in this country, and classes in citizenship might well be conducted with much profit to those born and bred in this country. It might even be that these schools of Ameri canization might with profit to this country be conducted within our legislative, halls and within our senate chambers. If ever there was a time in the United States of America when we needed to acquaint ourselves j with the great fundamental principles of liberty, j that hour has struck. And while we are teaching the men and women from foreign lands the prin ciples of democratic government, it might be well for those of us who were born heirs to these prin ciples, to take counsel with ourselves, and decide whether of not we are worthy of our steward ship. In every crisis in which the United States has been involved a great leader has arisen to steer this Ship of State into a harbor of safety. That is a hackneyed metaphor, but truth is always more or less hackneyed. . Washington was maligned, but that he was a great man, and that he was largely responsible for founding this republic, no one will deny. Lincoln was maligned in his day, was laughed at, and held up in desirion, particularly by mem bers of his own cabinet. But north and south, in spite of the awful carnage of the civil war and the terrible days of reconstruction, Lincoln stands as one of the wisest leaders of men. - Wilson is today the most maligned man on the face of the earth BY TRAITORS IN HIS OWN COUNTRY. Those of his own household seek to discredit him. ' No one who has made a study of the man will deny his human qualities. No one will claim that his administration has been perfect. No one will say that he has not made mistakes. So did Washington, and Jefferson, and Lincoln. But no one can deny that Wilson is the great est man that this era has produced. He has made mistakes. He will continue to make mistakes. But spending time in criticism of the mistakes of Wilson, will not in any way change the vic torious outcome of this war, unless it CHANGES IT FROM VICTORY TO DEFEAT. Here are a few of the things that the United States has to be thankful for, and which it owes to Wilson and his administration : WE WON THE WAR. It may have cost us a lot of money to winit, and a lot of money may have been wasted in the winning, but we won with less bloodshed than any other nation in volved in the war. AND THERE IS NOT A MOTHER IN THIS COUNTRY WHO WOULD NOT RATHER SEE MONEY WASTED THAN TO SEE HER SON SACRIFICED. All the Bolsheviki are not in ambush. Some of them are in congress. Who they are and wnar. j their motives will sooner or later be discerned, j But if ever there was a time when the men and women of America needed to study the prin ciples of Liberty, if ever they needed to stand fast TOGETHER for these principles, that hour is now. : -L;.v " Today money is the cheapest thing in the United States the easiest thing to get. Loyalty is the most precious. In the hour of our coun-, try's peril we stood together. Now let us not dis integrate and allow the enemy to enter and take from us that for which our sons and their fore fathers have died. Great legal minds have claimed that the reason for the stability of the constitution of the United States is ITS ELASTICITY. It is not a mass of detail but it is the expression of a great underly ing principle, and for that reason it has been able to cover every issue that this country has faced. Let us remember that, and let us not read into that constitution a mass of detail that has no place there. Let us look to our leaders, and par ticularly the president of the United States ttf STAND BY THE PRINCIPLES of the consti tution, and if the great fundamental principles are regarded, we may safely trust that in the end the details may be worked out along perfectly legitimate lines, even if these details do not suit every person concerned. 3 VOX POPVU , S 8 -.. 3 SUFFRAGE. Editor Journal: I have been a voter ever since I was 21 years old, which dates back some years. Burin g that time I have Been so much detestable doing; among: the politicians, both 'democrats and republicans, that when woman suf frage was 'talked of I Just wanted to get between woman and politics as I would between her and a contag ious disease or some bodily harm. But, since they have been called to all sorts of responsible places and have made good, and as they want th ballot, I say let them have it. They certainly have a right to it. They have the intelligence; they have the property rigts. I have known for eigners to vote when they had no property and when their ballots had to be marked for them. I" hope our representatives will put it up to the voters nexk election and. let the peo ple decide the question. Respectfully, J. N. AISPREWS. 11181111 WHY NOT TODAY? The drive for the Salvation Army Home Fund is lagging, not for any lack of inteerst, not be cause of any serious handicaps, either as to com mittees or finances in Pensacola or West Florida, but rather, it would seem, from a sort of misun derstanding which has arisen in the minds of contributors, who are holding back their contri butions, because no one has called upon them for subscriptions. This has been so, more or less, in every drive, and has always been a detriment to success. There is no more reason why you should wait to be called upon to give your contribution to the Salvation Army than the committee should wait for you to bring it in. One is quite as unreason able as the other. But the point is simply this The committee has its hands full. They are do ing the very best they can. And they do not ex pect you to take your contribution to them, if it is particularly inconvenient for you to do so. They are perfectly willing to send some one for it, and will do so, if humanly possible. j But why not save them the trouble? If you are going to make your contribution anyhow, why not write our your check, here and now, an 1 send it over by the stenographer or the office boy, and get it off your mind, and help a good cause at the same time? Or why not take that dollar or that half dollar, that may seem very little to you, but possibly all you can afford, and take it over to headquarters and give it with your good wishes for the success of this drive? A word of good will is cumulative. Because you are not able to give liberally is no reason why you should not give at all. Give with a smile. And if you cannot give much, maybe you can help by going out today to collect from those who have not time to take in their contri butions. But the main thing is to GIVE NOW if you are going to give at all. It is safe to say that if every man or woman who intends to give something to this fund had already made their contirbution, the fund would have been oversubscribed long ago. Give today, anj3 give as liberally as possible, for the Salvation Army Home Service fund. ' Ft. Barrancas, Fla., May 23, 1919. The Salvation Army Headquarters, Pensacola, Fla.

FOR PUBLIC PROTECTION The accident of Sunday afternoon at Bayview park is to be deplored, and, whether or not there was any -fauit' connected with it, should be an warning to those in charge of the recreation centre. Bayview in the past has been peculiarly free from accidents, and for that reason has been ex tremely popular with residents and visitors, who have found much of healthful sport in the waters of Bayou Texar. But it is not possible to be too careful in safe guarding the pleasure-seekers who go to Bayview for their diversions. When the park was in charge of the Pensacola Playground committee, every effort was made to see that life was pro tected, through the, placing at the head of every department those who were fitted to cope with its problems. . The Journal does not wish to impute any blame for the accident of Sunday, but does contend that every precaution should be taken, and would sugj; gest that a life-saving crew be maintained at the park, in order that assistance be rendered those in distress, either while boating or bathing. This is the case in other cities, has been the case under other management in Pensacola, and if it is not the case now at Bayview, certainly some steps should be taken to render the sports on the bayou less hazardous.
