A jergt part of the professional men and women are doing solid reading during the summer.

Highway Association to think about. It came from L. E. Spencer, formerly local agent of the Florida East Coast Rail- way. He told the Rotary Club about it at the meeting a week ago. Why not build ferryboats now to con- nect the present water ends of the Over- sea Highway? Why net? The highway is building; much of it is being traversed today by mo- tor cars. Mr. Spencer suggests that the day which Icey West anticipates might well be hastened by the construction of four boats, two for each gap, with capacity of possibly twenty cars. each, If the boats are looked upon more fav- orably as a temporary adjunct to the Road for a year or two before it is completed, it is wholly probable Key West might derive instant and direct benefits from the use of such a quartet of ferries as soon as they could be constructed. Mr. Spencer further pointed out that where these boats landed the centers of four small towns would instantly spring into being. This would be an immediate asset in the development. oe property in Monroe County, As a tentative figure, $50,000 Splece was suggested, or $200,,000' to complete the four. When the Highway was fin- ished. the boats could be.sold or put to Florida coastwise or harbor use, The idea is progressive and it is prac- tical. It opens up a vista of thought that ought to crystallize. in to actions before the next season begins, Why not build ferryboats now? DEMOCRATIC RECOVERY The Democratic hosts should not feel that be- cause they are thrown down at one’ election, the same results are going to follow right along. It has proved many times that the people on some sudden impulse will vote very strongly against the Democratic faith, and then in a couple of years they will turn right around, and come back to Dem- ocratic position. those fat discovery to, and it is constantly being found truths are being neglected.

In 1924 the country threw down the Democrat- ic party again, largely as the result of the contro- versies that developed in the national convention of that year. recurrence of these disputes during the present campaign. The Democratic party is built on the idea ‘that in order to secure justice and a fair opporiunity for the common people, the power must largely be kept in the hands of the common people. The peo- ple of wealth and aristocratic position may say they are better qualified to run the government. But even if they were, they frequently fail to grasp the needs of the common people. The government should be in the hands of those whose first aim is to secure human welfare to the masses.‘ There seems no reason to expect the CRUELTY TO HEATHEN Reports cf an almost unbelieveable outrage erican missionary, branded a small Korean boy for stealing a few apples.
