T. H. Alexander, a clever Southern columnist, sometime ago facetiously sug- gested that all lawyers ought to be hanged. “In reply to many protests from members of the legal profession he apologized, say- ing: “They should have known I didn’t really mean it. They should have known ... that not more than three-forths of the law- » ter, Vailie Harper, in your car. yers should be hung.” Alert solicitors of classified advertis- ing might work up some business along the line of the following notice which ap- peared in a West Virginia paper: “You are hereby notified not to-take our daugh- Anyone not heeding this notice will be dealt with to the full limit of the law.

The American contender, “Statesman” ran third. The English have long made horse racing and diplomacy their specialties. More Englishmen turn out voluntar- ily to witness the races than there will be Americans to view Chicago’s so-called “Century of Progress” in the same length of time, notwithstanding all the radio bal- lyhoo of this radio-subsidized show on Lake Michigan. Since the depression has taught us to revert to a few of the forgotten fundamen- tals it should have taught us to reflect the wisdom of George Washington’s advice against “entangling alliances”. President Roosevelt shines best in his handling of domestic problems. He was bitten by the bug of interna- tional idealism during the Wilson regime and will have to watch his “p’s” and “q’s” if he is to avoid putting this country to the task of pulling John Bull’s chestnuts from the fire. x RETURN TO THE LAND (Daily News, Orange, Calfiornia) The return to the land movement, given impetus by the depression, is not confined to the inhabitants. Investment money promises to follow the same path. The 1929 crash in industrial securi- ties has gone a long way in emphasizing the truth of the old axiom that property is the real basis of wealth. Land and commodities, physical manifestations of wealth, are the root of trade. Money is not wealth, but the measuring stick of wealth. Some respectable economists) believe that argreat deal of investment capital withdrawn from the real estate field dur- ing the fat years of,stock gambling will again return to that field. The inflation- ary movement on which the country is launched will tend inevitably toward the increase of commodity prices, and as in- evitably react on land values. Land will take its ancient place as the foundation stone of the economic structure. As currency expansion shrinks the idle dollar, so the urge to invest increases with the promise of rising commodity pric- es. Real estate should feel some of the first effect of the return of investment money to the firing line. Currency: ex- pansion, an invisible tax on money, in that it reduces public and private debt, with a compensating relief: of taxation on land and commodities, must direct the attention of the investor to Broperty investments. STARTING OVER AGAIN (Eccentric, Birmingiam, Mich.) The little world in which most of us have been living has sort of toppled about us like a frail house in a hurricane along a sea-coast. Many of the institutions that seemed impregnable to us have under the stress of world re-adjustment, melted down like ice on a hot summer’s day. Many of today’s adults, who yesterday were feeling secure and safe upon life’s highway, have been confronted with the necessity of starting all over again. Well, if a new start is necessary, then to be a good racer it’s: “Ready! Get set! Go!” (And don’t forget that the Lord loveth a cheerful loser.) THE PRESENT GENERATION (News, Van Nuys, California) Today there is more sentiment and brotherly feeling manifested in the world than for many generations More are living on the same level. Un- til the present there were thousands, who because they had not experienced it, could net sympathize with those neighbors in financial distress. Suffering and privation bring people closer together. A certain generosity of heart comes to the surface where before many never knew it existed. The problem at Geneva, as we under- stand it, is to balance military strength so nicely that each nation may be certain of winning the next war. bilge If Was tone ot eo Boy ¥ Fowara . Instieu 21.

Mr. Lowe will leave tomorrow for Tampa, where he will be joined later by Charles Sands, commanding the Key West Cadets and Troop 1, Boy Scouts, announced today that these two organizations will as. sist in the beautification program now under way by the Rotary Club and chamber of commerce. All wooden fences will be torn down, if the owners agree, and hedges planted. Langford and Moreau, golf course afchitects of Chicago, have notified the board of pub- lic works that the proposed golf course, of 18 ~holes, will cost $157,000 which is $7,000 more than estimated. The construc- tion of a nine hole course would cost $74,000 the advices show. It now looks as though an 18 hole course will not be constructed. A meeting will be held Sunday by the board of public works, city council, Rotary Club and cham- ber of commerce to discuss the situation. The U. S. S. Tacoma is com- ing te Key West with a broken propeller shaft. The tug Bay. spring left port this morning to! assist the disabled ship. A radio message reteived this morning told of the Tacoma encountering heavy seas while about 300 miles from Key West and the resultant injuries. Caban Consul Domingo Milord received a message today from P. Hernandez, Havana Chief of Police, extending thanks to the people of Key West for the cour- tesies and good treatment accerd- ed the Cuban police baseball team. Editorial comment: That which is worrying you today will be for- gotten tomorrow. Se, why wor. ry about it today?

Jewish ex- clamation { jthat route from New York Miami, Key West, Havana, Yucatan, and inter- being } promoted pretty well all along the proposed route—in Florida, Cuba and Central America. Au- gusta should be represented. The road as shown on the maps being. ja out comes up from San Sal- vador to the tip of Yucatan, with 120 miles of ferriage across to the western tip of Cuba; to Havana, via a 90-mile ferriage to Key West; and thence to Jacksonville and here it divides, one prong go- ing up the Coastal highway and fone coming through Augusta via No. 1, A division is shown, at Augusta asa main point, one prong going north via No. 1 and one going toward Chicago over No. 25. A division is shown go- ing from Miami via Tampa and up through Atlanta. But the main route to Chicago and the northwest is given as through Augusta. The maps and literature state it will be 1,600 miles nearer via to | Panama than via the Texas and Mexico City route. It is con- j tended this saving in distance will | | wat be put in across send the majority of the inter- national traffic via the Florida route notwithstanding the two ferriages. Augusta would be a great beneficiary of that develop- ment, and all sections to be bene- fitted are called upon to co- operate. Is Augusta, co-operat- ing? No; not yet, though the promotion is over a year old. It is proposed that modern fer- the two water gaps—by the governments, {if need. be—by the United States, } Cuba and Mexican governments. | Wiliam Byrd, commander of the} j American Legion, presented the} {silver cup to the winners.

From the tip of Yucatan a road 526 miles }long to San. Salvador, would be necessary; as yet unbuilt, Geor- gia builds more than that much mileage every year, as a rule. It should not be difficult to get that stretch of 526 miles built. From San Salvador the international , Panama and to South America, {with much in both Central and South America now built—and paved. South American coun- tries are at work in wholesale }fashion building their portions of this international read. The ori- ginal layout was from San Sal- | vador through Mexico City and ; Texas—and to New York, ete, It is now proposed to provide an eastern branch also, from San Salvador northward, as described, through Yueatan, Cuba, to Miami. Without question, a large amount of South ‘American travel would come up that eastern branch of the international highway. Many travellers would go one way and return via the other.
