Since songs are remembered longer than sermons, why don’t pastors sing ’em instead. On second thought-we recall! that ~~all pastors do not sing so well, Better leave -it as it is. Fi - Aside from the dryness, of the Con- - gressional Record is the display of weak- ness by the members of Congress of con- stantly “yielding” to their confreres. They’ should exhibit more stamina, but what ean one expect from the gentry. The world’s most powerful odor is that of skatol; it is also the most vile. If one gram of this liquid were widely dis- tributed its odor could be detected by the ~~“ entire population of the earth, scientists state. If the oder matches any way near that of the skunk, we’re ferninst it. President Helfenstein, of the Suwanee Democrat, published a single issue in tab- loid size and then returned to the standard sized format. Deformed sheets do not ap- pear to stand up well except in the larger cities. It is human nature for people to want something that is -erem, and not stunted. The Citizen believes in individualism but when the members of a profession prove that they are unable to protect the public ftom sharks operating under the protection of the “ethics” so-called, it is __time for somebody to regulate the profes- sion. ' Stalin’s will, already strong, was strengthened by the recognition of Soviet Russia by the United States. It made the _dictator sufficiently cocky to warn Japan , and Germany in inelegant language to shinny on their own side, and “not to poke their, swinish snouts into the Soviet potato ." As a diplomat, Stalin makes a per uses, four r, twelve *!para- The average daily Pi of ps ita ad ot neh, .i0b; because es that the paragrap! has.to have 48 separate and distinct subjects to write about each day.—Times-Union.

It has been estimated that placed end to end, these little bills, each six inehes long, would stretch some three ~and & half miles. They are in $10,000 notes and will not be current, being held in “the vaults. Gevernor Sholtz is quoted as saying: “If candidates for Circuit Judge and State Attorney want to spend the time and money involved in making a campaign, with full realization of the uncertainty of final appointment because of the practical as- surance of the adoption of the constitu. tienal amendment reducing the number of circuits, they should be given that priv- ilege.” With this gentle hint, most prospec- tive candidates will stay out of the race, though an expression by the electorate as to preferences might prove advantageous. INDIGNANT GENERATION (World Herald, Omaha, Neb.) The newer generation is partly young in age but it eontains many who are ripe with years. If it is to be distinguished by an adjective it may be termed the in- dignant generation. Its indignation is directed at a leader- ship which proved either false to its trust or incompetent. It is directed against philosophies that have heen found hollow. The indignant generation has ob- served, for example, that many of the same bankers who are now expressing such deep concern over the national monetary policy have as yet remained silent at the revelations of profiteering by some of the men who yesterday were their leaders. The indignant generation is aware that the same economists who seek to alarm the wage earners by platitudes for- get the platitudes they uttered to soothe and disarm the people in the hell for leather period of the fraudulent boom. The indignant generation notes that the same politicians to whose lips come so readily the cheap phrases of the soapbox orator are attacking a President whose every public utterance, from the day of his inauguration, has been free of demagogic words or political claptrap. The indignant generation is impatient with fuss-budget judges, technicality law- yers, pandering journalists, venal office holders, boss ridden politicians, doddering diplomats. It is through with a group whose history has been an attempt to run the government for the henefit of the few with the crumbs dropping down to the many. It won’t have a leadership silent and inactive and incompetent in times of stress but vociferous and blatant when the strain begins to ease. It is through with. formulas that work only when everything is going well. ~The indignant generation is a con- siderable part of today’s body politic. It is courageously and confidently bent on re- constructing a way of life in which men may find work, live in reasonable comfort, and be happy. If it destroys a few pet illusions in the process, so much the bet- ter. THE OUTLOOK FOR 1934 (American, E) Reno, Okla.) Nineteen thirty-three will go down in history as a year of reconstruction which was plenty tough on most business men, a trifle brighter for the farmers, and much more reassuring for those of the un- employed who have had -_ backs to the wall for so long, Nineteen thirty-four anecld. ‘see im- pressive gains in business of all kinds, the restoration of millions te paying jobs and the further restoration of eonfidenee which was so badly shattered a year ago. Credit agencies report wonderful in- creases in husiness in the past few months, banks and other financial institutions are on a sound basis, the deposit guarantee law is ready for launching Friday, home loan and farm loan agencies of the government will soon begin pouring: in cash at the place where it will do much good, exten- sion of the agricultural relief steps to in- clude : farm products..is, beginning to imprové the agricultural status, and alto- gether the outlook is rosier than could have been contemplated a year age... 2” y. <*> HRowever, the situation’ fs ‘hét so” ‘bright as to lead one to believe that the depres- sion is all over. A long hard pul) remains ahead with each step a laborious tax upon the strength of everyone. It will be neces- sary for all to proceed with caution and to exercise every ounce of judgment he has. But the main difference is that there is the goal of success in sight now, where hither- to it has been obscured in the mists of doubt. PLAYING THE GAME (Topic, Mt. Dora, Fla.) The true spirit of the time, which should govern the actions of every patrio- tic American in our war against the de- es pression, which is being se valiantly fought, was expressed in one of Bruce Bar- ton’s inspirational editorials by a certain man of large affairs whe, when asked if he thought things happening to us now was Socialism, exclaimed: “It's all right with me! Under any name or set-up, the game will still be interesting. I make no com- plaints because it isn’t the same game our fathers played. Fit it up in any way that is best for the largest number of players. I will take my chance. All I ask is, just tel me the rules.” Tne KEY WEST Criizin Daily Cross-word Puzzle papi Solution of Yesterday's Puzzie eagccces " 2, Meta) fastener t Lake a 34.

Much excitement was created ast night about 10 o'clock when, at the corner of Eaton and Mar- garet streets, a gang of men start- ed after a negro fireman of the tevening train. It is claimed that the gang rode up to the negro in an automobile and shot at him. The ‘negro took refuge on the porch of A small boat near the Gulf Re- fining Dock was seen to burst out in flames last night and an alarm! ef fire was sent in from Box 131/ at Caroline and William street. The chemical truck responded and im @ shert time the flames had; been extinguished. The Citizen has received many; quiries as to the location of the veperted well of flowing fresh water said to be on one of the keys about 18 miles from Key West. The Citizen published the, story merely for what it was worth, explaining that the pres- ence of such a well somewhere on the keys is a possibility. Big Pine’ Key is about 18 miles from Key} West and at one time there were | several fresh water wells found) there. Where the particular well is, is not known to The Citizen. “Why don’t you fellows keep after the proposal to establish’ Chester Thompson. No further in- formation could be seeured this morning. Editorial comment: The action of the county commissioners in appropriating $1,000 to be used in the fund for continuing the band concerts until the end of the sea-; son will undoubtedly meet with} ithe approval of the people of this community.
