The $12,000 a month relief money is undoubtedly helping merchants to re- coup their summer losses, and people of Key West are eating. But-—where is the money coming from? These same people are going to have to pay it back in taxes, in greater sums than they received. _In- terest is piling up on money borrowed, and the government surely had to borrow it. The best plan now for Key Westers is to start thinking how they can get along with- out the relief money, because its days are numbered. WOODEN CAR TRAGEDY Railroac ~“cidents have been few | recent years, at least so Zar as death or in- | jnry to passengers is concerned. Now and imen a train ‘. lersiled, but such accidents are rare, and recent statistics show that | train travel is about 25 times as safe as| i that by auto.cobile. But a few days ago a wreck occurred on the Erie Railroad in which 14 persons | we-e killed and 25 seriously hurt, as the res. of placiig a wooden coach between two heavy stee: ones. When a milk train rammea a fast express in a rear-end col- lision that wooden coach was crushed like an ege shell vetween the steel cars which made up the rest cf the train. In the steel cars no one was hurt. This demonstrates the fact that wood- en coaches should have no place in modern railroad transportation for passengers. While it would be a hardship on the rail- roads to do away withe the many wooden cars now in service, no more cars of this ob- solete type should be built. And when} wooden cars are used, they should not be sandwiched in between steel ones. A train should be either all steel or all wood. An all-steel train is the saftest means of rapid transportation ever devised by man. In all the millions of miles travel- ed by steel Puilmans, not a single passen- ger has been k: ped in more than a year. BRAIN TRUST BUST UP Recently, a good deal of criticism has been leveled at President Roosevelt’s so- ealled brain trust, composed of college pro- fessors who were called in to tell how to run the government. Several of these es- timable gentlemen have already given up their jobs and it seems likely that more of them will go by the board soon. With his usual perception of things in general, Will Rogers makes a timely com- parison of professors and politicians, and predicts that the professors will soon be finished and washed up. He Says: “T believe that Mr. Moley, chief of the ‘brain trusters’ getting out is the start- ing of the end of college professors in gov- ernment. A professor gets all of his out of a book, but the politician, bad as he is, does have some understanding of human uattre. Theories are great, they sound great, but the minute you are asked to prove one in actual life, why the thing blews up. Sc --vofessors back to the class- “oom, idealists back to the drawing room, Cemmunists back to the soap box (and use seme of it). But old Congressman Hokum and old Senator Hooey are still the Musso- linis of the country.” WAR BIBLES RETURNED There have been many instances of haiile flags being returned to a former en- emy 28 a gesture of good will after the pas- sions of war had cooled. A large number of Civil War flags were thus returned by both north azd south. But something rather novel in the re- storation of war trophies. is not reported from England, where under the‘ auspices of the Quakers, a large number of Bibles are being collected and sent to their for- mer owners in South Africa. It seems that during the Boer War the British soldiers got the habit of collecting family Bibles“as sbavenirs~ Several thous sand of these Bibles from Boer homes are said to have been taken to England. Now the Quakers. with the cooperation of the soldiers themselves, are gathering and re- turning these Bibles to the original own- ers or their children. Inscriptions or family records in the books make this pos- sible in a majority of cases. A good many, entries would be neces- sary to bring these family records up to date after a lapse of more than 30 years. } | Many a father who worked his ay | througk college is now working his son’s way through.—Miami Herald.
