Mrs. Patrick Campbell, the English actress, interviewed at Daytona Beach, is quoted’as saying: “We are telling the trath nowadays—the bitter truth. But it takes-humbug to give life flavor.” And that reminds us of the saying of Barnum, the showman, that “the world wants to be hunibtigged.” ‘They are probably right. In his essay on Education, James Mill saidt: “Nature herself forbids, that you shali-make a wise and virtuous people out of a starving one. Men must be happy themselves, before they can rejoice in the happiness of others; they must have a cer; tain vigor of mind, before they ean, in the midst of habitual suffering, resist a -pre- sented pleasure; their own lives. and means of well-being, must be worth some- thing, before they can value, so as to re- spect, the life, or well-being, of any other person.” | formly grave. man who! CLOUDS OVER CUBA (Boston Globe) | None who has watched the news from ! | Cuba during the past year, and especially ; during the past three weeks, is unaware | that the situation in that troubled republic is rapidly preparing an explosion. Several of the most competent news- papers in the United States have recently sent special correspondents to the island to make surveys, The reports are uni- Censorship of all the Cuban domestic press, of all incoming papers from abroad and of all outgoing cables has | made such expedients in news collection necessary. The investigators, returning with their material, have eluded this effort they reached home before preparing their copy. Here is the substance of their find- ings: A reign of terror is operating under the direction of President Machado. Poli- tical assassinations of opponents are the order of the day. Criminals let loose from the jails have been given authority to in- eugurate 2a regime of the bludgeon. Free- dom of press, assembly and petition is dead. The Supreme Court, which opposed Machado’s decrees, has been reorganized and brought under his thumb. Secret police infest the island. Miscry is almost universal and the rumbles of approaching revolt are swelling into a diapason of warning which the Machado regime thinks to answer by redoubling its barbarities. The question whether the United States should intervene in this has ‘been lately discussed. Under the Platt Amendment, doubtless, intervention is possible. But intervention in Cuba isa course of doubtful wisdom at best. It would create new difficulties throughout Latin America and would revive policies better never attempted. If intervention is to be rejected, how- ever—and let us hope it will be—then it should be understood, alike by Washing- ton and by Senor Machado, that it will not be available to him hs an escape if and when the storm breaks over his govern- ment. By staying out of Cuba now our government is strengthening its policy of letting Latin American States formulate and support: such governments as they are willing to accept. When they are no longer willing to support Machado it should be their unembarrassed right, regardless of pressures here, to demolish him and all he represents and to institute a regime more in keeping with Cuba’s ideals. VERSATILE MR. REVERE Paul Revere is known to fame chiefly because of his historic ride from Boston to arouse the “minute men” on the night of April 17, 1775, before the engagement with the British at Lexington and Concord. But, aside from this notable exploit, he was an uncommonly active and versatile citizen. He had taken part in the Boston Tea Party, and became a_ lieutenant-colonel during the Revolution, after serving as a lieutenant of artillery in the Crown Point expedition of 1756, during the French and Indian War. In civil life he displayed a variety of talents which a recent biographer thinks entitles him to be known as America’s first ‘Sack of all trades.” He was a goldsmith, a copper roller, a dentist, an engraver, a powder manufacturer, a maker of picture frames, a hardware merchant, and, de- plorable as it may seem, a seller of hard liquor. Documents recently made public by his great-grandson include bills of Jading showing that Paul Revere sold a consign- ment of rum at 60 cents a gallon, also gin at a proportionately low figure. This same ' great-grandson now heads a copper busi- ness founded by his distinguished ancestor, which still bears the name of Revere, in Boston. But Revere’s chief pride seems to have been in his dental skill, and he once sent a circular to prospective clients, which would be considered highly unethical today, in| which among other things he said, refer- ring to human teeth: “He fixes them in situation , THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ‘Our Government —How It Operates By William Brackert etree eee eee nore TO CHANGE INAUGURATION DATE "T Hose of us whose span of life’ carries us beyond the end of 1935 are almost certain to witness | €n epochal change in our govern- ment. After more than 150 years, | our nation is about to alter a basic’ {date in our system of governinent, | 1 | | | | | | i | i i | terms of our Presidents, Vice Pres- | {dents and senators and representa: | tives in congress begin. In all prob ability the change will hase been | ordered in advance of 1936, but it | will not take effect until early in} 1987. i The fundamental ‘revision is to take place through adoption or rat- | {fication, by the several states of the so-called “lame Duck Amend- ment” to the federa! Constitution. it Is the consensus now that its rat- | ification as a part of the organic law is only a question of time. So, in a few years then we will witness the convening of our con- gress in January of each year for sessions of no fixed duration -or llfe up to one year, and each four years we will see a President in- | ducted into office in the saime month. Congress now meets in De cember, of course, but its sessions, started in the odd years, end auto- | matically on March 4 of the sue- | ceeding even year; the sessions he- ginning in Deceinber of the even i years may run through to the fol- lowing December, if the legislative body so choose, The new amend. ment will start the sessions on Jan- uary 3, of every year, and they may continue until that date of the next year if the work bas not been done | tn the meantime, | In the case of the Chief Execn- tive, he will take office on January 20, of ‘the year following his elec- tion. The term of office beginning next’ March 4, therefore, appears certain to be the one break in a steady succession of four-year terms for President since the forma- tion of our government, for it will be reduced by the difference of time | from January 20 to March 4, in or- der that the succeeding Presiden- tial terms may be for four full years. 4 The purpose of the amendment is, in the words ‘of its author, Sena- tor George W. Norris, of Nebraska, “to bring congress closer to the peo- ple.” And there is not a great deal | of disagreement about that. It will | make congress a body more respon- sive to the pevple, because geimn tors and representatives who “re elected in November will take office in just two months thereafter, Considerable research has failed to disclose how the term, “Lame Duck” had its origin. It has long been applied to the unfortuuate pol- itician who guessed wrong as to what his constituents wanted, and was defeated. He has served through another session of congress, how- ever, before surrendering office to a successor. While the hew amendment will make congress more responsive and closer to the people, there is and probably always will be some Jark | of unanimity of opinion as to its | value, The school of thought in congress that opposed the amend- ment felt there was danger that eon- gress would be too responsive to public will; that there were sueh | things as whims and public de- mands based on misinformation, and that the present period of delay af- forded time for the electorate to “cool off.” ‘Those who look at both sides of | the question see that danger.
