Hun- dregs of othera,will go during the summer. { The slump fi trans-Atlantic travel caused by a chtting down of immigration had left the steam- shigs with much unused passenger space. It was decjded to fit up these quarters in modest though confortable style and offer low rates to American desiring to visit Evrope. The plan has met with muck success and it is enabling many students, who would have been unable to do so otherwise, to have the benefits of a European trip. | At the same time the new arrangement is benleficial to the steamship companies, permitting them to utilize otherwise waste space. It also en- atiés the companies to make good will among an important section of the country’s youth, who will ene day be able to travel on these same lines in first-class staterooms. THE REFERENDUM Diseourage anyone who tries to becloud the issue. today will not involve the country in any way nor for any amount. It will merely be an expression from the people on the interest guarantee clause in the tentative agreement with the C. A. P. Tur- ner Company. The bridges must be entirely completed and must have been in operation twelve months before tke conditions stated in the clause will apply, and then if the tolls have amounted to a certain sum, the county will not be called upon for any money at all. Any one who will observe and study the toll bridge situation in South Florida and Jacksonville will readily come to the conclusion that Monroe county may not have to pay out any money as a result of the interest guarantee and will very like- ly receive profits from the bridges instead. There has never been in the history of the whole world a system of bridges to equal the traf- fic that will pass over the over-sea highway each season, and the income from tolls is simply bound to be enormous to an extent that is. difficult to comprehend. The Gandy bridge at Tampa, the bridge at Jacksonville and a number of others in the state have proven marvelously profitable, and the over- sea highway bridges would certainly by far eclipse all of them. Monroe county has everything to win and noth- ing to lose. You cannot afford ‘to vote anything but “YES” in the referendum. SLOPPY WORK It would be interesting to get the viewpoint of people with long experience in the business world, as to whether they think there, has. been a decline in the spirit of thoroughness of work. There would at least be many people who would say that a great dea! of very imperfect work is being done nowadays, and that people are constantly made subject to trouble and expense, because someone has neglected his duty, or has done something in an incomplete way. It will happen over and over again that work has to be done over again, because it has not been done right the first time. The world has always been full of superficial and thoughtless workers. Whether there are more of them now than ever before, is something that could never be proved either ‘way. The people whose minds are far away while théy are perform- ing their daily duties, who are thinking of the high jinks they are going to have, or of, their various outside interests, are not very useful workers, and it often takes a great deal of time to correct their mistakes. 3 People’s home troubles also have an effect on their work, and the man who can’t get along with his wife or whose children make him endless trouble, may find it difficult to concentrate his mind on his work, and he has some excuse for his neglect. People need not expect that they are going to have any considerable success, unless they ac- quire the faculty of concentration. Their work may seem dull and uninteresting, but if it does, they will never see much better days ahead, in that employment anyway. If they could only get the idea of doing that work in the best possible way, and constantly improving it, prob-. ably it would seem more worth while to them, and they would not make the annoying blunders and oversights that cause their services to be so im- perfect.

STEWART. NEA Service Writer ASHINGTON — What chance: would a wet presidential candi-, date—that is, a candidate who favored a national prohibition refer; endum, which would be wet enough for all practical purposes—stand 1928? It's a question under pretty serious’ consideration at both Republican and Democratic party headquarters here. Not that either national commit= tee wants it to become a presidential issue. On the contrary, it’s an issue that both are deadly afraid of. ‘They simplygirertorced to analyze the uation; “because of reports thi receiving from xarious—and humer: ous—parts of the country. eee HERE'S no denying. as the part: managers see it. that a bloc of wet states has sprung up in the last year or two—states which would subordinate every other issue to that In this group the managers in- clude, as certainties. New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Connecticut, Dela- ware, Rhode Island, Missouri and Wisconsin, with 113 electoral votes among them. Counting other states which are suspected of having wet leanings, the political dopesters reckon that a@ molst candidate might start off with as many as 167 electoral votes sewed up from the very beginning That many votes assured, out of the 266 required in the electoral col- lege, would be a pretty nice mest eae.
