Many of them win sye cess by their enthusiasm, and the thorourhness with which they take hold of the problems of their _ state and country. Moody has nt political experience, that of human nature. ;Many young men in politics fai] because of theif lack of this form of wisdom. They obtain a theoretical view of the problems of politics, but have ‘Not sufficient background of experience to | know how things will stake to ideas. suceess calls for | one @£ the most difficult kinds of knowledge and | will work out and how people | ‘We need more young men in polities just as we need young men in business. The older men become too cautious and too politic, and too fear- | ful of defeat, and often they become cynical about refotm movements, and inclined to let things drag along in the old rut) The young man’s nature is | moré hopeful, and he is more likely to take risks | in a good cause. ‘We need the courage of youth as weil as the experience of age in the cause of good government. ; TOURISTS AND THE TOLL BRIDGES The American Automobile Association’s na- tional touring board, after a careful survey of the field, estimates that nine million automobiles will | carry thirty-six million people on long tours in the United States this season. A tremendously large portion of these millions of tourists will naturally visit the state of Florida, and most every one com- ing to the Land of Flowers would be sure to grasp the opportunity of driving over Monroe county’s scenic highway to the Fairyland of Florida, and would thus patronize the proposed toll bridges if they were completed. But the revenues from the toll bridges would not come alone from tourists and joy-ride parties. Commercial transportation is sure to represent a large portion of the income from the bridges. Firms in distributing points on the mainland would im- | mediately take advantage of the opportunity of selling goods to local merchants direct from large trucks, and truck lines would spring up to haul merchandise to and from Key West. In this wa; the freight situation during winter seasons would be greatly relieved, and the necessity for em bargoes, such as paralyzed business here last win- ter, will be in a measure removed. While at the same time it will mean a large income for the toll | bridges. | However, it is but reasonable to expect that | the most of the tolls will be collected from tourist and pleasure parties. So let Key West adopt the slogan “If You Haven't Been to Key West, You Haven’t Seen Florida,” and keep on telling it to the whole wide world in every conceivable way possible. But upon the building of -the bridges prac- tieally rests the future of Key West and Monroe county. With them this community goes forward, without them we go back. Those who vote “No” in the referendum next Tuesday, and claim to be j interested in the welfare of Key West are certain- | ly occupying a very strange position. PRICES STILL HIGH The high range of business and_ industrial prosperity that still continues is something over which the people can well rejoice. The past five years have on the whole been a period of very good times. And yet it is greatly to be regretted that prices still keep up their very high level. Nothing seems able to budge them very much. If in any industry economies are made so that the owners of it could afford to reduce prices, the workers in such industries are apt to demand higher pay, which makes it necessary ‘to Keep prices up to the old level. The increased pay. may in many cases be justified, and yet these conditions are hard for a vast mass of people whose income has never risen to an extent comparable to the advance in prices. Millions of people on fixed salaries do not have much greater income than they had 10 years ago. The farmers are the most numerous class of all who are thus affected, as their products do not as a rule bring as good a price. ‘relative to the price of factory products, as they used to bring before the war. The unrest in the farming districts, which | promises to be a prominent factor during the com- | ing political campaign, has grown out of this dis- proportionate state of things. The country will find it difficult to settle down to a permanent equilibrium, while prices stay on their present high level. Business will have to be conducted on narrow | margins of profit, since so many people feel the | necessity for economy, and will shop around a good | while to find anyone who will provide them service and merchandise at prices below the average. It | is a good time for advertising, because the mill of people whose incomes have not kept pace the level of prices, are looking for chances to save | money. } THE LAWN IN SUMMER | 1 The beauty of a city depends mvch on the way | grass is helped to grow on the lawns, but during the dry weather of summer many householders | find it imposs'bley’to keep them green.
