Last year 93,000 more aliens left our country than came in, and-that-helps some, The increasing number of women dip- lomats presages the end of secret diplo- macy. When a hen lays an egg that isn’t news, but when a rooster lays an egg that’s a lusus naturae. Another odd fact is that kindhearted persons and murderers agree in their op- position to capital punishment. Most people have found out lately that life’s hardest ups and downs have been keeping up appearances while: holding down expenses, It is interesting if not aggravating to note that six widows of the War of 1812 are still on the pension rolls, and the youngest. veteran of the Civil War is only 78 years of age. It is interesting to note that the higher social insects, especially wasps, honeybees and ants display phenomena similar to those of human mobs—high emotivity, suggestibility, rage, etc. A whole page could be used in listing the advantages of these days over the “good old days.” And yet you'll still hear people actually sighing for a return of those “godd old days.” It’s a funny world. Some people eat when they are hun- " gry; some eat when the clock tells them it’s time to eat, and a whole lot of people eat when, they get a chance. Some live to eat and others eat to,live, This eating busi- ness is the most ‘important problem today. In ‘defining a legal newspaper, othe frat > pate court ruled that to be so — hay, besides other re- Seibae tess or other! news bse gitimate newspapers see in this decision an acknowledgment of their rights, The best thing about this whole sit- uation is that people don’t look skeptical when anyone says that things are better. Instead, the other fellow agrees with you. We have passed beyond the region of hope into the realm of faith, faith in the future, generally shared by everybody. It won't be long, now. If the Jacksonville Journal isn’t care- ful, someone may get the idea:it isn’t par- ticularly enthusiastic about Florida’s junior senator. It reprints, in a two-column box on the front page, a comment by a former navy officer in The Outlook magazine re- ferring to Senator Trammell’s “‘outsatand- ing trait” as his “ineffectiveness,” adding : “The appointment of Senator Park Tram- mell of Florida as chairman of the naval committee may be regarded as an argu- ment against the system of seniority that gives high office to the man who does noth- ing but sit until his chance arrives.” Tsk! Tsk! The senator has always been good at remembering the home folks.—Miami News, { { FAREWELL TO ARMS (Miami News) Among other things, Ernest Heming- | way has written brutally and_bloodily about battles and bullfights. He has drawn his scenes from first-hand ex- perience and the treatment of the material is appropriate. The World war, as he saw it, provided the background for ‘Farewell To Arms,” the novel hy which popularly he is perhaps best known, In a sense he calls on the country now to follow the literal significance of that title. From Paris, in the magazine Esquire, he writes: What makes you feel bad is the perfectly calm way everyone speaks about the next war. It is accepted and taken for granted. All right. Europe has always had wars. But we can keep out of this next one. And the only way to keep out of it is not to go in it; not for any reason. There will be plenty of good reasons. But we must keep out of it. If kids want to go to see what war is like, or for the love of any nation, let them go as in- dividuals. Anyone hasa right to go who wants to. But we, as a country, have no business in it, and we must keep out. | Others before this author have read various meanings into the war talk, Too much of it, some say, is the surest way to precipitate a conflict. Where it’s all bark, others hold, there will be no bite; silence would be more ominous. But not less im- portant than the possibility of war is our attitude toward participation. It would better be determined now rather than after emotion has swept reason away. RECOVERY’S WORST ENEMY (News, Ridgewood, N. J.) “Taxation can become so oppressive that it defeats the very purpose for which it was levied,” said Alfred E. Smith re- cently. ‘And what becomes of it? It is charged as a debt against the very people | it was designed to help.” That is especially applicable in times of stress, when government—federal, state and local—is making laudable efforts tv stimulate recovery. Bills are passed de- signed to raise’ the public’s purchasing power—and then the danger appears that the cost of putting their provisions into ac- tion will in itself be a major detriment to purchasing and spending. Acts seeking to put men to work become part of the law —and it is possible, if.they are based on faulty premises, for them to destroy jobs through taxation, instead of increasing more, | There is a growing feeling on the part of business men, large and small, that the | next essential step on the road toward nor- malcy should be definite reductions in the cost of government. The tax collector has closed thousands of commercial doors, foreclosed on a multitude of farms, de- prived workers of their jabs and homes. He is the best friend hard times has. He’s recovery's worst enemy. : More efficient and economical gov- ernment, all the way ftom Washington to the smallest count} segt—that’s the need of she hour. aoe “HERE ..COME COMES, T! aivolnast< That Minmi:has not, has not learned her les- | son and is still gouging the tourists, her , \ best crop, is shown by the following from | “Whirligig”, in the Miami News: ie Read this and then reflect about the goose and the golden egg: A banker from Toronto came down with his wife to bask in Miami sunshine. He | carried a fairly well lined wallet, but the money he has he worked hard for, and he likes to get value received. He | looked about Miami Beach for a com- fortable spot to settle. They showed i him a back bedroom in a private home three blocks off the ocean; explained that if he and his wife would share the bath with four others they might have the room for $11 a day. He didn’t shy at the price until the landlord told him he could have a half hour, and not a minute more, to make up his mind. | The Canadian promptly told the land- | lerd te go jump in his very expensive ocean. The Toronto visitors were all set to go to California for the winter when some business connections learn- i ed they were in town and located them in a comfortable room at one of the Bayfront hotels. ‘| { i {board of | j | }hetel at which a number o} the Florida East Coast | had.

Ago Today As Taken From The Files Of The Citizen The report going the rounds! that it is intended to build a race track at Key Largo after that key} is connected with Dade county by a bridge, has caused a great dea! of excitement in real estate c os and another increase in price of realty on Key Largo. Some of the prices asked_for holdings on the key are considered exorbitant at this time but it is the conviction of many folks in the know that the charges are not unreasonable, ; and will be obtained after bridge is built. | Key West’s sponge man, which; ., has been on exhibition at the chamber of commerce for the past \several weeks, was started to Madison Square Garden last night. It was consigned to St, Augustine where it will be taken charge of by the industrial department of the Florida East Coast railway, and sent to New York to be a part of the Florida exhibit at the All- Florida Fair.
