The republican administration has made the election safe for the democrats. The world does improve in some lines. For popular education, until comparatively modern days, was a matter of charity on the part of the wealthy. T. T. Thompson, founder 6f The Citi- zen, who never lets anything stronger than water pass his lips, states that if we get the bridges, he may be persuaded to take Just a “we drapipie.” ~ Bridge parties are the appropriate form of amusement in Key West at the present time and significant. And if the R.F. C. grants us the money, . won’t we have SOME bridge party—one never to be forgotten. Mrs. Edward Everett Gann, sister of Vice-President Charles Curtis, recently made a plea “to keep our pilot at the helm until the tempest has subsided.” But it is & tradition of the sea to change the pilot if the ship in his charge is wrecked. Secretary of Commerce Roy D. Chapin conservatively states that it ‘looks as if the downward tide has halted.” This hesitat- ing statement on the eve of election does not spell hopefulness for the republican party, but it appears more sincere than Hoover's “prosperity is just around the corner.” ~~ Richard Washburn Child, the noted author and former ambassador of the Uni- ted States to Italy, has taken the lead in “forming ah orgatization of republicans to campaign for the democratic nothinee, and is another sttaw to show which way the wid is blowing. Womati-like his former wife, presitinably just to be contrary, comes outin a radio message for Hoover. In- cidentally it may be mentioned again. that Mr: Child was a fotmer employee of the Key West Electric Co,, in Key West, A HUGE PROBLEM: is more of a problem than any One may ¢au ‘solve. It is a problem for the collaboration of our brightest executive minds. It is a one that no general remedy can solve. _ Our country is so vast that. its divi- sions so varying in their , interests, the different sections. Governor Roosevelt ris bright enowgh and practical enotigh to’ realize this.fact. He is going about the what will best cure them. Were he to of- has been: our governmental policy, socialist, anarchist, destroyer of business and numerous other undesirable types of re- } former. Anything he might propose would be So distorted as'to frighten the people. There would be nothing in the way of criticism at which his opponents would stop. Fai? play and fair dealing in potitieal cam- paigns are unknown when personal profits are being attacked. Governor Roosevelt realizes all this and has adopted the policy | of taking the people into his confidence as to cotiditions and asking for their advice as to the proper remedies. Our problem to- day is one of efficient leadership and we seem to have the leader im sight. The main weakness of President. Hoo- ver and one of.the causes of most.of our governmental difficulties would seem to be his idea that his personal views must pre- vail. He either lacks confidence in his ad- visers or he is surrounded by incompetent aides. It is possible that he is controlled in the majority of his opinions -by the real heads of our government, the leaders of national profiteering, but is permitted to | have his personal preferences in matters whith do not affect the profiteering. This Would accotiht for his deference to what Theodore*Roosevelt termed “Malefactors of great wealth” and his insistence on such personal policies as prohibition and control of our moral welfare. 1} resident Hoover reminds us of nothing so much as a politieal Sanday School teacher of the old school. Our strict churthgoitig friends will please remember that we have said “poli- tical” Sunday School tedcher. Religion and politics rarely mix well. HOOVER’S DES MOINES SPEECH Président Hoover éniered the eam- paign With a strong defensive speech at Des Moines last Tuesday night. The president went exhaustively into the record of the past eighteen months and made a good showing for the administra- tion during that period. He placidly ac- cepted alf legislation as passed as the work of his administration and credited every- thing that did not pass to the democrats. As an explanation of the work of his party after the debacle his speech was very good and undoubtedly made many votes for hini, but the speech did not go into the period prior to the business panie and no attempt was made to explain or justify the policy of the government in assuring the American people that business conditions were good and that nothing but prosperity was in sight. The Hoover speech has been attacked by the’ democrats as not having gone far enough into the record and going too far in taking credit for the work of the coun- try in uniting to combat the adverse condi- tions of business and unemployment. A GRIM RECORD Death came peacefully in sleep some time ago to William .C. Patterson, “the world's oldest hangman and first electro- cutioner,” at his home in Hornell, N. Y., at the age of 84. Mr. Patterson was hangman at Auburn ptison, New York, for years before the elécttic chair was substituted for the rope, and duting his time as executioner had put 54 convicted criminals to death. These included Kemmler, the wife slayer, the first man to meet death in the electric chair; Maty Farmer, first woman to be so executed; Leon Czologosz, assassin of President McKinley, and many others Whose crimes attracted wotld-wide atten- tion. His was a grim reeord, but He seems to have taken his job philosophically, and from the ripe age he attained it appears that if he was ever haunted by memories of his victims his days were not materially shortened thereby. problem that embraces many angles and | that | ; special measures must be worked out for ¢ work of ¢uring our ills inthe right way, by } first determining just what the ills are, and | fer a plan of solution different from what | he | would be attacked as a quack, demagogue, | Bringing the country out of its troubles |@ MOND 83 7 80 ee : tLowest .. i Mean ..
