So much misery and suffering seems to be necessary to teach the inhabitants of the world to look be instead of dwelling in the realin of y—and every inilestone brings us nearer to—what?

Aveording to the NRA codes, mer- chantmen and business men must receive a percentage of profit for their wares and ef- forts. This fact has been known to us for many moons, but somehow we haven't been able to educate our books to show it. Some beauty is only skin deep——Key West's beauty reaches into the very depths of one’s soul, stirs hidden chords, awakens dormant springs that flood the mind with weird fantasties, while the quiet murmers of the sea breezes, the exotic perfumes of tropical flowers lull one into romantic} ferent explanation of the prevalence of jcrime in the United States. bliss. vee A GOOD WILL DESK It has loag been the custom for na- to one aiother, and the United States has} sent and received many such mementoes. One of the most interesting gifts in the possessio. sf our government is a desk | in the White House executive offices, which was presented by Queen Victoria some yea:s before lior death. The desk ig of carved heavy oak and carries 3 brass Plate. with this inscciption: “H. M. S. Resolute, dcrmiag part of the expeditien sent in search of Sir John Franklin in 1852, was abandoned in lati- tude 74 degrees 51 minutes north, longi- tude 101 degrees 22 minutes west, on the 15th of May, 1854, and extricated in September, 1885, in lat- itude 67 degrees north by Captain Bud- dington, of the United States whaler George Henry. The ship was purchased, fitted out aud sent to England as a gift to Her Majesty Queen Victoria, by the Presi- dent and people oi ihe United States, as a token o{) good will and friendship. This table ws,s made from her timbers, when she was broken up, and is presented by the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland to the President of the United States as a memor- ial of the courtesy and loving. kindness which dictated the offer of the gift of the Resolute.” Sir John Franklin, in search’ of whose expedition the Resolute and many other vessels were sent, perished with his 134 officers and men while trying to find a northwest passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific. AN UNJUSTIFIED POLICY Here is a worth while quotation, from an article by Thomas Woodlock in the Wall Street. Journal: “We take rivers and spend hundreds - of millions of taxpayer’s mon- ey to make and maintain channels on which tugs and barges may ply free of cost. We allow these barges to charge what they please for carrying freight for port-to-port rates and these charges are not regulated, nor.even—apparently—always public. We take Some more taxpayers’ money and put government tugs and barges on the rivers and forego return on their cost. And we compel the rail carriers to permit these water lines to infilterate a wide territory outside which is naturally tributary to the rivers. | Upon what theory of fair dealing can such a policy be justified?” Mr, Woudlock might likewise have asked: Upon what theory of economics can such @ policy be justified? | Our wa- terways have been almost a national scan- dalforadecade. They have cost us more millions of dollars than we care to count. They have deprived the railroads—which pay heavy taxes, maintain their own equip- menc and take their chances on making a profit, without benefit of governmental | subsidies—of a vast amount of freight, and have thus been an important contributing factor to railroad unemployment and re- mission of return to railroad investors. Mr. Woodlock points: out that we now have a National Recovery Act, a prime pur- pose of w! is to bring about fair compe- tition, in all types of industry. In the op- eration of the Act, government would: do Well to begin at home with a revamping of the waterway situation. Brg Wins ok carson eee wa FOREIGNERS AND CRIME oe tSO In the light of an investigation con- ducted by the New York Times, it. appears that the oft-repeated assertion that our foreign-born population supplies the ma- jority of our criminals is wrong. Figures given show that so far as mur- ders are concerned, the greatest number per 100,000 of population occur in cities with the smallest number of foreign-born. Memphis, with a foreign-born popula- tion of only 3.5 percent, has a murder rate of 65, the largest in the country. Jackson- ville, with 3 percent of foreign-born, has & murder rate of 61.7, Nashville, 2 per- eent foreign-born: murder rate 38.7. On the other hand, New York City with 36 percent of foreign-born, has a mur- der rate of only 5.2 per 10,000; Lowell, Mass., 34 percent foreign-born, murder rate 1.7. Of course, the above figures do not in- dicate the actual number of murders com- mitted by foreign-born, as compared with native-born, but they do show that a large foreign-born population does not necessar- ily mean a high murder rate, but quite the reverse.
