FOR PUBLIC SAFETY.
Secret service detectives are now engaged in a
nation-wide search for the perpetrators of the
attempts against public men, through the bomb
outrages which have been twice attempted and
twice checked. :
The secret service of the United States gov
ernment has made a record during the war, and
since the signing of the armistice which has re
newed the confidence of the American people in
their powers of protection. But there is nothing
to which people as a rule become so used a3 the
presence of danger. Life is lived at such high
tesion, there are so many dangers faced daily in
our every day avocations, that the American peo
ple have become not so much foolhardy, as blind
to the condition that surround them. Were it
not for the vigilance of the secret service men,
the red flag might long ago have been placed
upon the parapet of many a public building and
the soviet government in the United States might
be more than a name.
The fact that the level-headed business and
working men of this country'have joined hands
in . preventing public disaster, by placing their
problems on a common plane of understanding,
and with a joint determination to conserve this
country to Americanism, pure and simple, the
same state of affairs would rule here as under
those autocracies which pretend to defend the
principles of liberty, and carry on their escutch
eons the skull and cross-bones as their insignia
assassins of land, instead of pirates of the high
seas, but with little difference in intention or
method.
There is much that the private citizen may do
as a preventative measure against the work of
the anarchist in this country. And one of the
chief of these is to keep the ears open and the
mouth shut. '
Do not talk Bolshevism, and do not let anyone
else talk it to you. And when he does, report him
to the proper authorities.
Aifother thing that might well be loowed into,
and particularly in Pensacola, is the ease with
which the anarchistic element may communicate
wit hone another. It has been called to the at
tention of The Journal that the writing on the
sidewalks of this city, might easily constitute a
menace to the public safety. It is a matter of
history that during the war there was a sign
language which was used to convey its sinister
meaning far and wide, and that just as tramps
once marked certain houses, that the Bolsheviki
marked certain public places for annihilation.
It is impossible to prevent a certain amount of
writing on the sidewalks of the city, perhaps,
though the habit seems to be more prevalent
here than in most cities. But it would be well to
keep a neye on the sidewalk writer, and watch
his goings out and his coming in. These public
signs have proven worth watching in other cities.
Why not in Pensacola?
FOR FINER MANHOOD.
the benefit of Boy Scout discipline, training and
practice.'
The future of the nation depends, of course,
upon its youth. The fathers and mothers of
American boys will be gravely derelict in paren
tal duty and in national obligation if they fail to
give their hearty support, moral and financial, to
this great American Boy Scout movement Not
only is every Boy Scout given useful knowledge
and training which equips him better for the bat
tle of life itself, but there are inculcated in him
the duties, obligations, ideals and higher concep
tions of American citizenship. , ., .
Each year the Boy Scout movement is turning
nut thousands of "better bovs and creating the
finest types of future American patriots. No
cause should appeal more strongly to the mothers
and fathers of America than the Boy Scout cause,
The Boy Scouts raised several hundred million
dollars in the Liberty Loan and War Savings
Stamps campaigns. They did splendid work for
the Red Cross in its several national campaigns.
They served the government in many other ef
fective ways during the great world war. It is
an organization of gallant patriots and deserves
the encouragement and support of the nation.
The week beginning June 8 and ending June
14 has been set apart as Boy Scout week for the
purpose of enlarging and strengthening the Boy
Scout organization. Associate memberships in
the Boy Scout organization will be offered to the
mothers of American boys and to other adult
American citizens. This, if successful, will pro
vide a supporting adult organization to the Boy
Scouts of America which will assure the enlarged
usefulness and effectiveness of the Boy Scout
movement. Surely there are millions of other
American citizens who are willing to contribute
a small sum to put the Boy Scout organization
on a strong and permanent basis which will as
sure the continuous training of the youth of
America in the finer ideals and conceptions of
citizenship in the greatest democracy on earth.
DEMOCRACY SPEAKS.
It is power-sharing, not profit-sharing that in
dustrial progress is bringing. Power is always
the prize in social struggles. It has been so from
all time. Love of power rather than love of mon
ey is the root of the evil of class conflict and the
motive that drives men to pile millions upon mil
lions in excess of any real need. The power to
impulse is more universal than the hunger for
profits. - '
Equal distribution of power is the foundation
of democracy. It is all of democracy. Without
it there can be no democracy. With it all things
democratic follow. When democracy enters in
dustry it is inevitable that it should speak in
terms of power rather than profits. This ex
plains why labor fights harder for union recog
nition, the closed shop and collective bargain
ing than for higher wages. It explains also why
employers resist these things with greater de
termination and animosity. -
For the same reasons profit-sharing has
proved so puzzlingly disappointing as an indus
trial solution. It was hailed as an industrial
panacea in the early eighties by many philan
thropic, well-meaning capitalists. Books at that
time proclaimed it the righteous road to social
peace. Few of the highly promising experiments
of those years survive. Many went down in bit
ter industrial struggles of the very- character
they were supposed to prevent.
au tmngs, including proiits, ioilow power.
Profits remain with power; they are taken with
power.
A violent fight for power is rebellion or revo
lution according to its success. In any case pro
duction stops and product and profit disappear
until the question of power is settled.
Democracy was established among men that
struggles for power might not bring violence.
Democracy fails if it does not do this; and the
most frequent cause of the failures of democracy
is lack of sufficient democracy.
The greatest test democracy has ever been
asked to meet is its extension from the political
to the industrial field." This change is now well
under way. Collective bargaining by unions full
of power, recognition of labor in the peace treaty,
many experiments in joint management, exten-

of the sesalon of the legislature. Bill

a habit of hanging around the capital
during the exciting close of tne sessions

after he has tried to eivorce 'himself
from this section. ;
This has been a precedent-making leg

from the discussions of mese precedents
by the members it is presumed there
win be less attempt to ' follow them in
the future than to forget them.
The governor's original - message, at
the beginning of this session, on the
good roads subject, which Is now so
strongly agitating the minds of the leg
islators, is being read 'with renewed
Interest. And with the light of the
present situation, before the public, it
has an entirely new meaning. J
Those who have been complaining of
the dirth of political announcements at
thl session of the legislature, .probably
have changed their minds within the last
few days.

themselves as being in position to know,
that at the primaries next summer there
will be opposition to every man now

save perhaps one. Here is a chance to
do some of your very best guessing. .
The prospective opposition, .however,
need not be charged hurrreetly to dis
satisfaction with the men now occupying
the places. It more illkely comes from
an unusually large crop of place hunters.
In this connection, it Is thought that
some members of the legislature y may
have saved themselves om " em harass
ment by waiting until after the session
to announce their political aspirations.
It gis 'thought some of .them may find
It Unnecessary to make any announce
ment at all now. - '

SENATE PASSES

BY HERBERT FELKEU.
Tallahassee, I June 4. Sentiment In the

when a , bill "to prohibit contests be

In less than two minutes, senator Moore

He received assurance that he need
not be - apprehensive on that score. Sena

the bill committed. " One senator da
clared: "You will soon have it so a
man can't do a thing but walk a straight
path froni his own doorstep to the

workers in garment factories have had
their initial training in Europe. Where
training has been introduced it has
been a great help in standardizing the

practical means by which employees
can better 'themselves. It has also
overcome the shortage of labor.
' The need for standardization is
shown by the contrast to be found in

The best promise for the future is the peaceful

We long ago passed the fork in the roads It is
too late to go back. We can only choose the
method of progress. If we share power peace

RYAN TOO BIG
TO TAKE PART
IN PARIS GAMES
Paris, June 4. The French authori
ties took a good look at Pat Ryan's
latitude and longtiude, comprising 275
pounds of beef, bone and muscle, and
voted unanimously - against allowing
Pat to throw the hammer in the Inter-allied
games at the Pershing
stadium.
"Too much of man," was their ver
dict, loosely translated They were
afraid that Pat might "bean'' one or
more spectators with the heavy pro
jectile and the Stadium, built by ,the
Y. M. C. A., for the International
games, is a large place at that.
Pat is really the only great ham-mer-chucker
over there, "anyway, ajid
as the allies have no expert in that
line his part of the ' meet would be
in the nature of an exhibition. So
Pat is training for the shot-put and

so , formidable to the continental authorities.
