Don’t get excited and rock the boat. Florida is more solid today than the state has ever been before. ; Take notice. The banks that are closing their doors are all among the new and unwisely created institutions of the kind in the state. All the old- time banks are as firm as banks could be and are stemming the tide with all ease and safety. of them can be seriously affected by the condi- tions that close the doors of these mushroom banks that sprung up amid the excitement of the “boom” period with resources and backing mostly imaginary. They are like the fly-by-night newspapers that have been started in the state only to flash and fade away. 2 Nothing more could have been expected of the class of banks that are reported as failing at dif- ferent points in the state. They were not needed, and being entirely unnecessary, they naturally would not secure the backing of the substantial citizens and enterprises of a community. Let them go. Florida is a great deal better off without them. Key West is as solid financially as at any time in the city’s history. In this regard it is more happily situated than any other city in Florida. Business, with the exception of the abnormal real estate activity here last year, is just as good here in all lines as it was this time last year, but it is always lighter than usual at this season. None There is neither probability nor possibility of any financial slump in Key West any more than the summer season always brings. And if the peo- ple of the state at large will just keep a level head for a while they will find that excellent conditions will follow in the wake of any flurry that might come. 150 YEARS OF FREEDOM One hundred and fifty years have passed since that great day when the assembled delegates of the American colonies signed their declaration of in- dependence, and established a new era in the his- tory of mankind. \It would be hard to pick out any known date that stands out so high above ozdinary history. The exact date of the birth of Christ is not known, and of course that stands in a class by itself and is not to Be reckoned with any secular event. But next to that, the date of American independence seems the most significant event of history. It was something more than the mere decision of a nation that it proposed to regulate its own af- fairs. It was the establishment of a new theory of human society, destined to revolutionize the world. * woe * Previously, the world had been governed by kings, emperors, and aristocracies. It had not been supposed that the common people were fit to rule, hence there must be means provided from outside their number for governing them. The American patriots decided that the time had come for a change in that theory. So they an- nounced the principles, that government must de- pend upon the consent of the governed, and they built up a great nation on the theory that in an intelligent country, the people can govern them- selves better than anyone else can do it for them. This principle has proved the lutionary idea that has entered world politics, and it has spread until most of the greater nations are now handled on that basis. It is broadening the opportunities of mankind, and producing more happiness, and the whole world can well celebrate enthusiastically the date of July Fourth, when this great turning point of history was passed. most revo- TAKE FACTORY TO FARM ae In a discussion of the farmer’s problems be- fore a recent electrical convention, Chairman Guy E. Tripp of the Westinghouse company pointed out anew the trend of manufacturing concerns toward } the smaller communities. He declared that the centralization of indus- try has gone too far, and that the reaction which is now beginning to be felt is only the logical re- sult of the congested conditions in the larger cen- ters. He believes that considerable economies for both industry and wage earner can be secured by establishing relatively small unit plants small towns of the rural districts, thereby making available part time labor of many farmers, who enabled to add to their incomes. will thereby be Besides this, such an arrangement would bring. j; about a more widespread use of electricity on the the factories could be easily and economically the because service connections made to nearby xtended to farms in the vicin relieving farm family from much of its present drudgery. Mr. Tripp quoted with approval Henry Ford's ‘the country will be traversed by chains of small towns clustering around individual factories and inbabited by peo. ple who will divide their time between the fac tory and the farm.” Such a condition would doubtless prove most | helpful in solving the farmer's problem of surplus crops by giving him another outlet for his energies. instead of fercing him to continue the maximam raising of products which often must be dumped | “pon an already glutted market. in the | SATURDAY, JULY 8, 1926.
