Also a good deal of pains is taken to see that the home merchants are not déprived of a chance to buy tickets to local enter- tainments. PUTTING IT OVER (Tampa Tribune) Real estate men of Los Angeles have put across @ good one on the Californians. These western realty sellers, it seems, are in a bad way and are having a time of it thinking up ways to keep the market ac- tive enough to support them. They have been especial- ly worried for fear a whole flock of Californians might break away and see Florida, knowing that if they ever did see for themselves the advantages of this state the comparison would be pretty hard on the Pacifie state. The Winter Haven Chief tells about their stratagem. An excursion had been arranged from California to Winter Haven and other Florida points at half the usual cost, but it has been canceled, says the Chief, because the Los Angeles realtors ran a page ad in the Los Angeles Times on January 17, ef- fectively pointing out alleged superiorities of that state over Florida. Realtors are usually the better class of real estate dealers, and the framing of the ad makes one wonder. “Stay at home. If you travel, you may grow dissatisfied with home,” is the tenor of the ad, though not in those words. There are plenty of unfair com- pariséns made, one of the most striking being thei: statement that in 1923 the lowest temperature at Los Angeles was 28°while in Jacksonville the lowest was ~ only 10 degrees. With equal fairness we can say “that the lowest ever recorded at Key West was about 40 degrees, while it goes below zero frequently in the mountains of northern California. All fairly frue, but as misleading as plain ties. The same with a ‘bunch of statistics on value of products of the two states, proving nothing. Florida extends sympathy to the almost ex- * cursionists who were kidded out of a trip, and con- @ratulates the alleged realtors who succeeded in the kidding. oun weiss ta ment THE KEY WEST CITIZEN FLORIDA’S CASH BALANCE The Florida Digest says Florida started off the year 1926 in good financial condition, as indicated in the annual treasurer’s report, which show’ that there was a balance of all state funds in the state treasury Dec. 31, last, of $7, 552,224.47. This despite the fact that disbursements for the last month of 1925 exceeded receipts by $1,000,000. BIG BIRDS OF MERCY The airplane is reported to have been used ex- tensively this winter in scattering food for starving birds in the snow covered forests and mountains of the north and northwest. There could be no checking up on the extent of the efficiency of this plan for feeding the feather- ed tribe, but the fact that they were sent out upon a mission of mercy is sufficient, since it indicates the extent to which humane people are awake to the wel- fare of the birds during a time that they are so help- less because bleak winter has cut off their source of food supply for an indefinite period. In this way the big flyers made by man may furnish food and life to the little winged creatures given to brighten out lives by the great Maker of All Things who notes every sparrow that falls. CONTROL BY FINANCIAL INTERESTS The complaint is often made that the country has come under the dominion of the big financial in- terests, and that they are shaping the laws and policies so as to favor the great corporations, with secondary regard to the ordinary run of people. Wealth must be our servant rather than our mas- ter. But if wealth is regarded as an enemy, we can try doing with it as they have done in Russia, that is, confiseate it. The result would be that capital could not be obtained for industrial and public en- terprises. This would produce universal destitution and make everyone worse cff. People of wealth often became so absorbed ‘in the struggle te make good in the business world, that their policies. A business may be very successful on the side of making dividends, but if it has not sold its goods at a fair price, and if it has not provided healthful conditions and fair pay for its workers, then its results are not profitable to the country. Se the people who make the laws must be able to keep these two principles clearly in view. We must have business policies that will enable business to operate at & profit, but we-must not forget that the welfare of the people is the object of all busine§s."A business system is_not satisfactory that just provides good times for a minority of the people. That pros- -perity must be communicated to the masses. The mass of the people must co-operate heartily and cheerfully. There are many plans and theories that look fine on paper, but when they are tried out in actual operation, they do not fit the facts of hu- man nature. We must place the management of things in the hands of people who have had practical experience in knocking ‘up against the world and studying the popular psychology. “ACCOUNT OVERDRAWN” (Fort Pierce News-Tribune) If the editorial comment in the current issue of the New Smyrna News is a fair sample of work done ordinarily by Editor Harry L. Rood, readers of that paper need look nowh re else for editorials of merit. Under the above caption, the News prints the follow- ing, which for terseness, logic and timeliness is not to be excelled by anything which has appeared in the state for some time: A small fire broke out in some trash a servant had carelessly left under the veranda back of his house. A call on the telephone promptly brought the fire department three blocks away. The fire was extinguished. Five minutes wait and his house would have been a mass of ruins, the financial loss great, A week later, a policeman patrolling the alley at the back of his house saw a skulking figure near one of his windows. By prompt action he captured a burglar full armed. Had this man succeeded in breaking into the residence, heavy loss of property, perhaps even life, might have resulted. One of his children graduated from the graded school and another left high school with honors. Their education had cost him nothing. Each had been in- structed in the best schools in the world. While he slept, a well organized street depart- ment had swept the street before his house. In the morning the trash, ash and garbage collectors had car- ried away the debris from his furnace and kitchen. When the city election took place he went to busi- ness as usual, refusing to vote because city politics are rotten and a gang of politicians run his city. They are still running it. Summoned on a jury, he lied te the judge to get himself excused, allowing a coufthouse hanger-on to take his place and try the burglar who tried to enter his house. He was not a good citizen. Are you? Is your account overdrawn with your city? Are you-—doing your duty by it one-half as well as it is by you? Do you vote in municipal election?
