CV We have the constitutional right to the pur- suit of happiness but it depends upon our own swiftness whether we catch it or not. To hear them tell it, it’s a shame how ‘some politicians are literally forced to run for office to satisfy jhe demands of the dear people.

BRIGHT BOY PROBLEMS We hear a good dea) about. the necessity for t attention to the dull child, and every aid Srhich may be given these unfortunates ought to be But a lot of bright boys need some thought Bnd practical assistance, too. “s — Education of the masses to a certain common wel is to be desired, but unless the boy who exegptional talent can be given special op- portunities to develop his latent powers, not only sbe, but the world at large, is the loser. “2 Thousands of mediocre boys go through col- with little benefit to themselves or to society, “Phile other thousands who have great gifts are the privilege, through lack of means. "> That any boy with. exceptional talent’ for ive work, scientific research or leadership id lack the opportunity to make the most of talent is a tragedy. Upon such boys and their t training depends the progress of the world. gata is true of especially talented girls. SF When our civilization is little farther ad- Banced, means will be provided that our brightest Grinds shall have every opportunity for their high- est development. Such means should be provided “mow. = THE WOMEN VOTERS A nation wide campaign to get out the vote at the coming election is being promoted by the Natiotial League of Women Voters, and the Ameri- ean titizenship department of the-General Federa- tion of Women’s clubs. They have a big job on their hands to induce many of the women to per- form their civie duties. Many gf these women who are staying at home on election day are splendid people who hare never become interested in politics. They have al- ways taken the older view of woman’s sphere, and have believed that it was the duty of their sex to look after their homes and families and let the men attend to public questions. But while these splendid housewives are thus attending to the household duties in an ideal way, and producing beautiful and well regulated homes, many ‘women who are either ignorant or unthink- ing, are being rounded up by politicians to vote tor. this or that cause that is undesirable or un- worthy. The scope of women’s activity has been en- Igpged as the result of agitation by the women themselves. It is up to those who were not much sympathetic with the movement, to realize that a new time has come in the history of their sex, and | that the older ideals of their field of service have been enlarged and they must co-operate to do their 5 Somie of these women here in Key West say they know nothing about polities, and if they went ‘the ‘polls they would very likely Vote for the wrong people. That is not a real “excuse, as it is their ‘ juty to know about these things, just as it is their dq ty to attend to disagreeable developments that come up in their home and family relations. They ‘will find political problems.very interesting once they become acquainted withthem. + PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL The beginning of major league baseball ‘season is a big event in the eyes of million, of men. and boys. All over the country the conflict of these gladiators of the diamond is watched with keen in- terest, and there are hot debates as to the fine Poltits of the game, and the respective. merits of the various players. ths Statesmen and orators often wonder if their words “get over” to the ears of the common peo- fle. But the sporting reporter who trots down to ball park each afternoon to tél the story. of t Homeric encounters, meed ‘never question attention of his audience. fat bo From the crowded metropolitan street car rh phiangers have to read their paper as the lutehes around corners, back to the cross roads ist-office where the village worthies gather to | What the wotld did the day before, there the th ate analyzing the results of these conflicts the revealing figures of théibox scores. | It takes a quite exceptional poise of teniper Ho: play major league baseball in a crowded arena.

Feeling the merciless scrutiny of the onlodkets, seen and unseen, his ‘arm: would go Wild atid his eye see crooked, and‘he would soon go biick to thé little old home town, without any brass bind dr committee of citizens to meet him. + It is not surprising that the professional ball player is much of a hero to the .of,mgn and boys. Not merely has he perfected a kind of skill | Be § to a marvelous degree, but in his calm mastery of | situations, he has qualities denied to most of us. In his heart there must be a certain bright con- fidence in his star of fortune, as well-as ability to think and act in infinitesimal fractions of a second, that gives him the power to perform feats of | spectacular brilliancy. | LAKE WORTH’S NEW BOOKLET j The Citizen is in receipt of a copy of the | rotogravure booklet that is being sent. out by the | Lake Worth chamber of commerce. Pictorially it is a work of art, the illustrations showing os) beautiful buildings and charming scenes in and | around Lake Worth, while the data containcd in | the subject matter presents a wonderful record of amazing growth and prosperity fur that community during recent years. From a population of 1,000 in 1920 the number of residents has increased to | 15,000. Lake Worth’s land valuation in 1913 was | about $13,000. In 1924 it had jumped to $6,000,- 000, and in 1925 it had gone up to $18,000,000. | The Lake Worth chamber of commerce, with its 2,400 progressive citizens as members, is doing | @ great service for their community in compiling and sending out this attractive booklet, and what- | ever it cost will be money well and wisely spent. | | | Citizenship being such a highly-prized privilege | and right, why shouldn't the churches, the schools, and all civic organizations urge this matter of regis- j tration? Why shouldn’t even those who so proper- ly and so regularly sound the praises of this state | take some time to urge citizens t6 register and, | later, go to the polls and vote, 2s becomes real citi- zens?
