Warren presented a bouquet of flowers from the young peo- ple of Key West to Mrs. Owen just as she boarded the ship for her departure to Den- mark, she asked to have her thanks for the remembrance expressed through The Citizen, and this paper delights in being asked to be the medium of expressing her gratefulness. On the return from Havana the Tampa veterans will stop over in Key West for a turtle steak dinner.—Key West Citi- zen.

HURST PROTESTS William Randolph Hurst, the bad boy of American newspaperdom, does not like the power that is being given to President Roosevelt. Mr, Hearst, in messages to his news- papers in all parts of the country. protests against the power being given to the execu- tive to compromise with the nations of Europe in the coming world conferences. Mr, Hearst does not like England and he isn’t any too fond of the French people, The owner of many great Americad newspapers was rebuked in no uncertain terms by both England and France because of his conments on their domestic affairs and informed him that his room was infin- itely preferable to his company. Both England and France seemed to reflect in no small measure on the truth- fulness of Mr. Hearst’s statements. Mr. Hearst, through his personal rep- resentative, Senator McAdoo, cast the de- ciding votes for President Roosevelt’s nom- inatioh at the convention in Chicago. He did this, not so much because of his love for Roosevelt, as because he feared the defeat of Roosevelt would mean the nomination of Newton D. Baker, a man Mr. Hearst regarded as a friend of both Eng- land and France. Naturally, Mr. Hearst doesn’t want anything to be done in the way of helping his enemies. So Mr. Hearst protested violently, even if ineffectively, against the Congress giving to the president the power to do anything that might help the countries which prac- tically closed their gates in his face. But Mr. Hearst didn’t get very far. The Congress decided that the people were speaking in a little more influential tone than even Mr. Hearst and his news- papers. SILENCE OF THE GRAVE Before Harry Houdini died, that greatest of magicians agreed with his wife that he would try to communicate with her from the spirit world, although he had long scoffed at spiritualism. After his death in 1926 his widow watched and waited for a message. Finally Mrs. Houdini confessed: that she had abandoned hope of ever haying a communication from beyond. the grave. and said: “The silence is impenetrable; there is only a void.” The Society of Psychical Research re- fuses to accept as authentic any» of the many reported messages from the “other world.” After 48 years of painstaking investi gation of thousands of alleged communica- tions through mediums and relatives of de- ceased persons, the society has not found a single one which has stood the test of scientific examination. Yet many sincere persons believe that they have had such communications, and no one could convince them to ‘the con- trary, so strong is the power of belief and imagination. HIS FATAL MISTAKE This ‘is the story of a prudent man, as told by.a-Kansas newspaper: He brushed his teeth twice, a . day, wore rubbers in wet weather, did his daily dozen, slept with windows opéh, was care- ful with his diet, had a medical examina- tion twice a year, never smoked, drank, or indulged in any kind of excesses. He was all set to live to be 100 years old. The funeral was held last Wednesday. He is survived by 18 specialists, four health institutes, six gymnasiums and numerous manufacturers of health foods and antiseptics. He had forgotten to look out train at a grade crossing. for a SILVER WILL BE FEATURED It is reported that one of the world problems in which the Administration is es- pecially interested ts that of silver. ‘It will be a featured subject in the forthcoming economic conferences. Any plan to restore world trade and international economic stability, must take account of silver. It has been called, and justly, the poor man’s gold. It represents the medium of exchange of countries with a majority of the world’s population. Its present low price has deprived these people of billions in buying power—much of which would haye normally purchased the pro- duets of American farms and factories. Restoration of silver will be a long step in the march of recovery. J« ACROSS 1, Turkish cap 4. Writing table 3% Reach across 12. Salutation 13, Persia 14. Narrative 1. Cast Indian weight 16.
