RINGING THE LIBERTY BELL . MAY THOUGHTS May is said to be the month of promise, and promise is frequently not equalled by performance. The farmer plans a wonderful crop in May. Then along comes some pesky little bug and eats that crop for his breakfast and never says thank you. The home gardener, also often finds that the performance of May is not equal to its promise. He plants-those glorious flewers that look so fat and bursting in the seed catalog. And then along Mr, Sun and dries them up and Mr. Rain re fuses to give them a drink. comes However, each May is weleomed with new en- | thusiasm. If May’s performance was always equal te its promise, if all gardens and plans fully, there would bo nothing left for humanity to do. May simply says I give you 31 days of beauty and hope, and opportunity to work. pay you for your effort. ripened | if you take | advantage of them you will gain enough to amply | BRITAIN’S GENERAL STRIKE One of the worst industrial conflicts in the history of the world’would seem to have started in Great Britain, where a general strike in a number of industries has been called as the result of the | long drawn out dispute between the operators of the coal mines and their employes. Such a con- | flict is a very far reaching thing, and likely to have a good deal of influence on the labor move- ment all over the world. incuding this country. Labor troubles in Great Britain have more serious than in this country, partly because | the hard conditions created by the war bear with great severity upon the wage-earners, naturally creating much discontent, and partly because a bolshevistic spirit borrowed from Russia has led the wage earning elements in many cases to make | socialistic demands that would not help them and would work against national welfare. Many of the capitalists of that country have not seemed to thoroughly realize their duties to been their workpeople, and the employes in some cases have seemed to think that they could dictate to the whole country the things that should be done to relieve the situation. When two elements get into that irreconcilable attitude, there does seem much left but to fight the though the suffering created is pitiable. It is possible that this strike will be of short duration, as sometimes people draw back from. a rash step when they see its results really upon them, and a happy settlement may be reached soon. not situation out, American sentiment would say the way to settle such a question was to submit it to a fair | arbitration, and all parties should then submit to the decision. If they would do that, it would be far better for all concerned, and would save the incalculable lasses which a big strike will involve. TELLING TAMIAMI TRAIL TALK The Miami Daily News puts the question squarely up to the state road department in this way: “Collier naturally desires to have traffic across the Everglades on the highway whi¢h will pass through his county without touching Corp. other owners of large tracts in Monroe county the first | Monroe county, while the Chevalier and favor, of course, the route which will be of the | greatest benefit to them. But the citizens of | Florida, as a whole, would not give a penny for | the difference, seeking only an open state highway at the earliest possible moment. “If the Tamiami trail can be opened by Sep- tember 1, as it CAN BE, the people of Florida generally can see no reason for delaying the open- ing another year. “The question is squarely before the state highway commission for answer: “Shall the Tamiami trail be opened Septem- ber 1, 1926, or some uncertain date future | years?” | cros: in | THE POPULAR WILL | Elihu Root, former secretary of state, said in | a recent address that the popular will is not effec- tive in gettings things done, because it does not get to work early enough. He feels that political issues are largely settled before people wake up and find out what is going on, and then all they can do is to kick and criticize. The politicians all know what is going on, be- cause that is their business. The newspapers are | ready to tell the people if they will listen. The | Citizen certainly makes an effort to do so. Accord- | ing to Mr. Root, the people should join political | organizations, and follow the leaders thereof, and then their desires will count. | The real reason why so many people take no | crease our vocabulary by master-! riorida part in politics seems to be that there are millions | who take no interest in the subject; and either will | not take the trouble to register and vote, or else they forget about voting when election day comes. Considering how their interests are suffering as the result of political mistakes, this does not seem | like an intelligent point of view.
