NATIONAL ADVERTISING REPRESENTATIVES FROST, LANDIS & KOHN ew York; 35 East Wacker Drive, jeneral Motors Bldg., DETROIT; Walton Bldg., ATLANTA. Jonah says that all he knows is what he sees in the papers, and he think’ Will Rogers is lying when he says the same thing. The management of the Sarasota Herald says that it is, and will continue to be, a Democratic newspaper, reports emanating from Sarasota to the contrary notwithstanding. Abuse, oral or written, particularly when untruthful and unwarranted, has a tendency to create sympathy instead of the expected emotion. Those impregnated with the virus of hate, should take notice. The classical tale of the lost traveler: “After having walked for hours and hours without having traced the print of a human foot, to my great comfort and delight, I saw a man hanging on a gibbet; my pleasure at the cheering prospect was inexpressible for it convinced me that I was in a civilized country.” Secretary Ickes, after spending $3,- 300,000,000 on the rest of the country, be- lieves his own quarters need improvement. He proposes a new interior department building in Washington to cost the taxpay- ers $10,000,000. But what’s $10,000,000 to a chap who is just through allotting ing more than $3,000,000,000. these arithmetical ciphers make your head swim yet the whole array represent naught. In Duxbury, Mass., there is a Cup of Coffee Club. To qualify for membership one must be able to drink a quart of coffee without taking the huge mug from his lips. There is speculation how many Key West- ers could qualify, for we sip our coffee, like the Germans sip their beer. If there are any habitues of Pepe’s Coffee Shop who feel capable of performing the Gar- gantuan task, this column will stand the drinks. An inquiry by Dr. Raymond Pearl of Johns Hopkins University disclosed that of three classes of drinkers, (1) total ab- stainer4f (2) modern drinkers and (3) Aruna’ the shortest lives. were those of the drunkards and the longest those of the moderate drinkers; the total abstainers coming in between. So drinking in modera- tion is not only harmless but healthful. Morally there is also virtue in temperance, none in prohibition, unless voluntary. One-armed naniditey: as practiced by the slot machines, pa nothing to the pub- lic treasury for its skimpy cloak of semi- legalization, Whirli Install a marble machine, which claim re- spectability at least on the count of being a game of skill, and the city license boys will be down next day to collect their $5 per machine. But you can have enough slot machines in your store to grab the nickles and dimes of every kid in the neighborhood simultaneously and they will cost you noth- ing in taxes. Up until a few slot machines were officially law and taxes were not them. But a cireuit court deeision now recognizes them as “vending machines.” A city government clamoring for new tax revenues hasn't even taken the trouble levy against the one-armed bandi Whir- ligig hears there are better than 1,000 of them Miami's city limits.—Miami News. i learns. can months ago outside the levied against to inside | executive orders barring persons likely to Don’t all! | Whirligi BOGUS BENEVOLENCE re is constantly being brought on Congress and on the Immigration Bu- reau to relax our immigration laws and to let in various classes of people from Eu- rope. There is likewise steady resistence to any legislation that would check con- stant additions to our working population | from seaman desertions, and from western hemisphere immigration that now has no quota limitation. This kind of immigra- tion is now held in check only by temporary become a public charge. Since the enactment of our quota laws in 1924, it is estimated that over two mil- lion foreigners have been added to our working population at a time when labor saving devices and industrial changes were throwing our own people out of employ- ment by the hundred thousand. Under these circumstances, every im- migrant worker who has no job has had to be supported, and every immigrant who gets a job is displacing someone already here who needs that job. This immigra- } tion, therefore, has added just so much to the burden that we now have to carry. The taxpayer’s plight is bad enough, but the burden falls heaviest on the thou- sands of homes where former earners are unemployed and the savings of previous years have been steadily melting away, while the bitter humiliation of seeking aid | is coming nearer and nearer. It is the jobs that should go to these people ito) PT these bogus benevolents wish to present to outsiders. It is these sufferers, and not those favoring more immigration, who will have to do the paying if we relax our ex- ecutive orders and allow visas for admis- sion to be given out more liberally. We hear a great deal about humaniz- ing our immigration administration. There more humbug than humanizing whe:. the endeavor is made to. oblige our consuls to issue visas to those for whom bonds are given guaranteeing that they will not be- come a public charge. What guarantee is there that they will not be given the jobs for which there is bitter need among our own workers? By all means let everything possible be done for the helpless and suffering o all peoples, but let it not be done in a way. that will be paid for by those of our own people on whom the present crisis is weigh- ing most heavily. Let there be humanized administration of our immigration laws, but let us see to it that it is the real thing. WHITE COLLAR JOBS Boys should be taught to think less of fitting themselves for “white collar’ jobs, ys Prof. F. G. Nichols of Harvard, who points out the greater opportunities for! promotion in industry than in clerical pur- suits. The young man who starts at the bot- tom in a factory often soon outdistances one who begins, say, as a bookkeeper. The idea is that while the clerk or bookkeeper may have a white collar job from the very first, the ambitious and intelligent indus- trial worker has a better chance to rise to an executive position, so that when he does reach the white collar job it means some- thing worth while. Advices along a similar line is given by President Thatcher of the Massachusetis Agricultural “College, ' who defends” voca- tional schools against the reproach some- times leveled against them by the classical student. He that “the idea erroneous that vocational schools are un- dignified because they work with matesials near at hand and not with a knowledge of things that are ancient and far off.” Literally, however, the proportion of white collar jobs is constantly increasing. With the continual advent of new machines for doing the “dirty work” of the world, the time may come when nearly everyone | may have a “white collar” says is iob. Juvenile Judge Beckham is doing lot of quiet cheering for Whirligig these | days because he, too, deplores the ‘‘one- armed banditry” being perpetrated by slot machines, ay The judge has filed complaint ainst them with every ranking law en- | forcer in the county. Earlier in the week pointed out the semi-legalized machines were operating without benefit of license. City commissioners promptly ordered an ordinance providing a fee of $50 per machine.
