Chicago. Detroit. Kansas City. Atlanta THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 5, 1S1 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- '5 LEGISLATIVE ODDS its 83 S B H H B S H B I3.CS BBBHQ3HB ' BV JOHN C.

Bill was raised in Tallahassee and acquired a habit of hanging around the capital during the exciting close of tne sessions that bangs onto him in later life, even after he has tried to eivorce 'himself from this section. ; This has been a precedent-making leg islature. that is one end of it has, but 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. It la claimed . by those who represent themselves as being in position to know, that at the primaries next summer there will be opposition to every man now occupying an elective state nouse jod. 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. - ' iSv a -v m y ?w s s v i J XL fl W I " . .

It was Introduced, the rules waiveft i4.nl the measure placed on its final passage In less than two minutes, senator Moore sked; "W1U this law t punish me if my rooster gets over the fence and fights the neighbors' roosters?" He received assurance that he need not be - apprehensive on that score. Sena te r Turnbull made a vein effort to have 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 church." It was stated that the bill was rassed to remedy a Tampa situation. Major General John V. O'Ryan, Lit. CoL Theodore Roosevelt, and Lit, Col. Henry L.

Aside from cutters, most of 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 variousoperations and furnishing a 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 two men's clothing factories studied by the training service representatives.

The congress of the United States, recogniz ing the value of proper training of American boy hood, granted a special charter for the organiza tion of the Boy Scouts of America.

The best promise for the future is the peaceful character of the steps already taken. Industrial autocracy is bargaining away its power, not fighting to retain it intact. , We are moving toward democracy in all things; 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 ably we can pass on without violence.

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 the discus throw, which do not. look so , formidable to the continental authorities. GARMENT MAKERS GIVEN TRAINING BY GOVERNMENT Washington, T. C, June 3.
