Kaas NEARING THE’ SCHOOL END Only a few weeks more of the school and col- lege terms, and those who have never done today what they could put off until tomorrow, need to remember final examinations. It is pretty hard to make up in. a few weeks or days all the losses caused by indolent study for | most of a year. Still, it is to the idea that too many precious school days have been wasted, and it is time to get busy and prepare for one’s work in the world. ti Such a waking up time comes to most people, but unfortunately it comes to many of them after their chance to obtain an education has passed. Then they see that knowledge is a key that unlocks all doors, but Old Lady Opportunity was not recog- * nized by them on that day when she called and waited around awhile to give them their chance. PROVINCE OF A NEWSPAPER (St. Petersburg Times) - It would be comical, were it not somewhat pathetic the way newspaper offices are besieged every day by their friends, urging them to “roast” this and that; to “see to it” that this and that is corrected; to have this and that done in the city | or county, to start this and that kind of movement | to correct evils in the state government. These friends actually appear to believe that it is the newspaper's business to handle all these affairs. But a self-respecting newspaper, though ready and willing to carry all reasonable. responsibility, | must remind its readers that they—the people— are the authority upon whom rests the responsibility | for the present state of affairs local, state and na- tional. A self-respecting newspaper tries to report | the-news of what actually happens, not what ii night wish had happened. The relation of a self- respecting newspaper to the general public is not always understood. It is the duty of a newspaper to be in a position to support any good act and criticize any bad act of public policy. This relationship cannot exist where favors are asked and granted. Honesty is the only policy | for a newspaper, If objectors don’t like the way things are going, they should qualify as voters, and then raise Cain about it. ae MEMPHIS BEATS THE MOSQUITOES (Sanford Herald) Florida ‘citizens, and particularly those who summer along the East Coast, should read with interest and encouragement news of the ‘successful | warfare which Memphis people have waged against the mosquito in the Mississippi lowlands. | Appreciating the menace of the mosquito to | health and comfort, citizens of Memphis bdnded | themselves in what is perhaps one of ther most per- | fectly co-ordinated health campaigns launched in | many years, and with helpers recruited from all | walks of life, took the field to oust,the “skeeter.” And by the application. of methods ridiculous- ly simple, the mosquito has been banished to such | an extent that Memphis people can now enjoy eve- ning on their piazzas without the protection of wire | sereens, and deaths and sickness from malaria have | been materially checked, business conditions better- | ed and real estate saved from depression. Instead of buying oil at twelve cents a gallon | for spraying breeding grounds, Memphis effects a considerable saving by collecting waste crank case oil fram garages and filling stations, and the price of containers is cut by the sheriff's contribution of kegs and barrels designed originally for husbanding | moonshine. Boy Scouts, business men, women and children, policemen and road gangs, all turned out against | the common enemy under the direction of health officials, whose contention that the mosquito can | be beaten has been proven, and another victory | chalked up to co-operation. | An analysis of the Memphis mosquito war will | show that its success is attributable not so much | to the materials used or the methods employed by | the workers, but was pushed toa successful con- | clusion by determination and% co-operation, two mighty principles which make possible super-human achievements. In ousting the mosquito so thoroughly, Memphis: | has given the nation and the world a valuable ex- | ample of what'can be done by co-ordinated effort, | and sections troubled with the mosquito menace ; would do well to profit by the system of control | applied there with such good results. — | A DISSATISFIED COUNTRY It seems unlikely that the coming elections | can produce any majority of straight. Republicans | in Congress. About the most that the party now in | power can look forward to, is that the nominal | control may continue in their hands., But that will: mean simply that a large part of those elected as | Republicans represent districts that are dissatisfied | with the conduct of the government, and belieVe it is too much under the control of corporate inter- | ests and great wealth, i That will produce an irresponsible condition in Congress in which the Democratic party will be! able to do nothing because it has no majority, the | Republican party will not be able to do much, be- | cause a sizeable fraction of its adherents arc*out of sympathy with the party majority, and*the so- | called Progressives will be unable to accomplish } much, because they are only a small minority. — It would seem the more logical course, ifthe | people who have been voting for the candidates who themselves: Republicans, : would realize that they are not getting results by electing that type of people. k What they should do is to vote for the Demo- cratic candidates; and then they would be placing power in the hands of an organization that is in a | position to accomplish something, and which would be able to put through a number of measures tend- ing to relieve distress, call Progressive This courftry has always prospered under a two party system, and our ‘form of government is not adapted to a three party arrangement, where no one element has power?or responsibility. If peo- ple glo not like the Republican administration, the logical thing for them is to vote straight Demo- eratic, and not throw their votes-away on an ele- ment that is not in a position to aecomplish results when it gets into congress. AN OPERATIC DEBUT John, a Georgia donkey, made his debut in grand opera in Atlanta recently as the mount of Sancho Panza in “Don Quixote,” with the Metro pelitan Opera Company of New York. He exhibited a splendid stage pi with Mack, the trusty steed of thé:hero, in faithful- ee, vying ly interpreting his role, and was .geterously plauded. In fact, his reception was almost as en-\ | thusiastic as that accorded Marion Talley at the | hands of ‘her Kansas City admirers a few weeks ago. | As a further mark of his true genius for opera, j John later developed-an unmistakable artistic tem- | perament. When the time came fer him to perform | the menial task of hauling the crushed body of the | chivalrous Don from the stage, John decisively balk- | ed, and the curtain went down ‘with Sancho Panza vainly striving to induce him to do his stuff. Competent critics’ predict for John a brilliant future as an operatic star. ap- Many husbands approve of the cash and carry system, so long as their wives carry the bundles. | ing one word each day. ‘THE KEY WEST CITIZEN COCSCOSOO TOOTH OOSOCOCOOEECOOOOOOOOOOISOOOCESOOODEHEHLHOOOOSOLOOEEE Swarming BARBS A serious shortage of people with | out spring’ fever is reported.
