Fletcher, though buay as presiding officer of the senate in- vestigating cémmittee looking into the conduct of the mighty House of Morgan, still had time to introduce a bill in con- gress that enables the bridge advocates to take another step forward toward the de- singd goal. ™ “Senator Hodges is recorded as vot- ing for the proposa) to retire circuit judges ompart pay after a certain number of years on the bench,” the Tallahassee Democrat remarks. “The measure was ited, and properly so. It wasn’t any- thing else but another scheme to pension somebody, and we wonder if there is any so#t of a pension bill that man Hodges wohldn’t vote fer.” The St. Petersburg Timés suggests approaching Senator Hodges on the subject of pensions for edi- torg. Perhaps the president-elect of the senate would introduce it, if the editor of the Democrat were excluded —~Miami | although all Southern States also observe DECORATION DAY Each year more and more graves of our soldier dead claim the loving atten-| tion of relatives, friends and living com- rades, who on May 30 place upon them flowers and flags as tributes to those who sleep. This beautiful custom is said to have originated at Petersburg, Va., where on June 9, 1865, the citizens decorated the graves of a number of Confederates who had fallen in battle while defending the town on the same date a year before. In 1868, Mrs. Logan, wife of General John A. Logan, then commander-in-chief of the G. A. R., happened to visit Petersburg on its annual Memorial Day and was so im- pressed with the idea that she recom- mended to the general that it be made a national custom. Accordingly, he issued a proclama- tion next year, calling upon all posts of the G. A. R. to observe May 30 as Decoration Day, or Memorial Day, by which it is also known, and this day is | now a legal holiday in 40 states and in all United States possessions. In recent years, especially since the World War, this.date has been observed j.. Y | ; more generally in the South; usually un- der the auspices of the American Legion, Confederate Memorial Day, on different dates in the various states. These dates are April 26 in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and Florida; May 10 in North and South Carolina, the second Friday in May in Tennessee, and June 3 (the birthday of Jefferson Davis) in Louisiana. National Decoration Day on May 30 is the occasion for especially impres- sive ceremonies at the tomb of the Un-| known Soldier in Arlington Cemetery, near Washington, where the president and high officials of our own and foreign gov- ernments usually participate in the ex- ercises. HIGH RATE OF HOMICIDE | Statistics from 180 American cities: reveal a murder rate of 10. 8. per 100,000 population for 18382. That rate happens to'be about 216 times as high as England’s. The rates vary greatly in different cit- ies, with the south making a worse show- ing than any other section, Memphis, for example, has the highest of all, with 54.2 homicides per 100,000. Cities with more than 100,000 population have high- er rates than those under that figure, sug- gesting that as population is concentrated the causés leading to murder are aggra- vated, There are cities with no killings at all. There are many causes for this dis- turbing homicide rate. A chief one is too easy access to weapons, particularly fire- arms. Inadequate public provision for taking care of mental cases is another. Gang warfare has contributed. a generous quota. Why other peoples do much less taking of human life than Americans, and why some cities here are less homicidal than others, is a problem not yet solved by! the sociologists; or the There is. only “one reasoning thing about: the figures of 1932—the homicide irate was oxactly the same as in 1931. It had Men gacreeied but neiher had it increased. COMING BACK The country is coming back. Times ave distinctly improving and on _ every hand, in every line of business, in every section of the United States, conditions are getting better. The general feeling of all classes of people is that the days of our adversity are now passing and that the future holds plenty of hope. The statement of the Internal Reve- nue Bureau at Washington to the effect that tax collections have for the first time im several years shown an increace over the previous year is an indication of how the tide is turning. The inerease in market values, -how- ever, have been of too recept an occur- rence to have reached as yet the ultimate beneficiaries, and until these have been reached, the increased values will net show their effect on business in general. But the time is rapidly approaching when these increases will show results, and when they do, business throughout the land will respond vigorously. The fature is full of hope. criminologists. | Daily Cross-word Puzzle ACROSS Solution of Satur 1. Knocks . Talk idly 1 10. Strikes vio- tently 4. Gem cf fruit . Sufficient: Bersian f Persian fai .
