Totalled indiscriminately, there are something over 14,000 news- papers in the United States, ranging from the smallest country weekly which prints only two pages in its own shop with addi- tional pages printed by a syndicate, to the great metropolitan dailies which employ thousands of persons each. For the smallest, probably not more than 25 pounds of paper is.required each week, while the Chicago Tribune uses for one Sunday edition all the paper produced from timber grown on 240 acres of land. According to Grove Patterson, the well-known writer, the New York Times employs 3,100 persons, with a payroll of $25,000,000 a year. Hearst’s newspapers and magazines use more than $50,000,000 worth of paper a year. But in spite of the disparity between the smallest and the largest of American newspapers, the publisher of the small town daily need not be overawed by the size of his metropolitan rival. The local newspaper has a place in the life of its community which the great dgilies can | not usurp, if the locat® Ubi er. i€alive to | his opportunities ahitcina kes thestost of them. 4 ¥ als aa h° Now, as alwaysyahe hometown: news- | paper is the best and cleanest exponent of constructive journalism. ze STERILIZATION (Pensacola News) Sterilization as a means of bettering the human race has become an important topic in Florida since the recent inspection of the Florida state hospital for the insane and recommendation that the meastire be adopted in this state by legislation at the next session of the state assembly. The State of California will on Thurs- day complete a quarter of a century of sterilization in the course of which 10,200 feeble-minded and insane persons, both men and women, have been sterilized. The Human Betterment Foundation of Pasadena has issued a ‘report: analyzing the results of the eugenic measure stating that sterilization is not a panacea but that in the light of California’s experience it does appear to be an integral, and im- portant part of any farsighted and modern program for dealing with the tremendous problem of mental disease and deficiency, for helping to reduce the burden of taxa- tion, and at the same time for preventing some of the most poignant misery and suf- fering that now exists. Since the law was placed on Cali- fornia’s statute books on April 26, 1909, three-fourths of al sterilizations have been performed on the insane, and one-fourth on the feeble-minded, according to the re- port. The number of men and women sterilized is about equal. Most of the feeble-minded patients who have been al- lowed to) leave the state institutions have heen sterilized, for some years past. Only.4 anR-BeY almBsION ip Five.or six, ogtpeaio sane has* beer sterili f° The law’ pro- vides for*tompitlsory sterilization, “but in practice the written consent of the nearest relatives is sought and nearly always ob- tained, the report explains. “California’s experience represents as many operations as have been performed officially in all the rest of the world put together,”” the Foundation points out. “However, more than 150,000,000 people have been brought under eugenic steriliza- tion laws since Gov. James N. Gillett signed the first California statute on April 26, 1909. Sterilization is now the law in n states as well as many foreign countries, and some other states are now performing operations more rapidly in proportion to their population, than Cali- fornia.” . 5 Since the operation does not unsex the ! patient, it is not a punishment, but a pro- | tection, the report emphasizes, and as such is in most cases eagerly welcomed by the patient and his family. Careful study showed that instances of untoward con- sequences ‘vere practically non-existent. | Hospital authorities, probation and parole | officers, social workers and others in touch with the administration of the measure, have expressed themselves almost unani- mously as convinced that the law has ; worked well and that its scope should not | be extended. 4 aa THR KEY WEST CITIZEN Che FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 1934. nd by Charles Dickens The Hitherto Unpublished Mienseriot Kept | Secret 85 Years Editor's Note—The inconsistencies in punctuation and spelling which appeared in the original manuscript, intended, by Dickens only jor the eyes of his children and not for the printer, have been followed in the present publication. CHAPTER THE FIFTH. QNE of the Pharisees begged Our Saviour to go into his house, and eat with him. And while Our Saviour sat eating at the table, there crept into the room a woman, of that city, who had led a bad and sinful life, and was ashamed that the Son of God should see her; and yet she trusted so much to his goodness and his compassivn for all, who having done wrong were truly sorry for it in their hearts, that, by little and little, she went behind the seat on which he sat, and dropped down at his feet, and wetted them with her sorrowful tears; then she kissed them and dried them on her long hair, and rubbed them with some sweet-smelling ointment she had brought with her in a box. Her name was Mary Magdalene. : When the Pharisees saw that Jesus permitted this woman to touch Him, he said within himself that Jesus did not know how wicked she had been. But Jesus Christ, who knew his thoughts, said to him “Simon”—for that was his name—“if a man had debtors, one of whom owed him five hundred pence, and one of whom owed him only fifty pence, and he forgave them both their debts, which of those two debtors do you think would love him most?” Simon answered “I suppose that one whom he forgave most.” Jesus told him he was right, and said “As God forgives this woman so much sin, she will love Him, | hope, the more.” And he said to her, “God forgives you!” The company who were present wondered that Jesus Christ had power to forgive sins, but God had given it to Him. And the women thanking Him for all his mercy,- went away. We learn from this, that we must, always forgive those who have done us any harm, when they come to us and say they are truly sorry for it. Even if they do not come and say so, we must still forgive them, and never hate them or be unkind to them, if we would hope that God will forgive us. = AFTER this, there was a great feast of the Jews, and Jesus Christ went to Jerusalem. There was, near the sheep market in that place, a pool, or pond, called Bethesda, having five gates to it; and at the time of the year when that feast took place great numbers of sick people and cripples went to this pool to bathe in it; believing that an angel came and stirred the water, and that whoever went in first after the angel had done so, was cured of ill- ness, he or she had, whatever it might be. Among these poor persons, was one man who had been ill, thirty eight years; and he told Jesus Christ (who took pity on him when he saw him lying on his bed alone, with no one to help him) that he never could be dipped in the pool, be- cause he was so weak and ill that he could not move to get there. Our Saviour said to him, “take up thy bed and go away.” And he went away quite well. Many Jews saw this; and when they saw it, they hated Jesus Christ the more: knowing that the people, being taught and cured by him, would not believe their Priests, who told the people what was not true, and deceived them. So they, said, to one another that Jesus Christ should be killed, hecause he cured people on the Sabbath Day (which was against their strict law) and because he called him- self the Son of God. And they tried to raise enemies against him, and to get the crowd in the streets to murder Him. BUT the crowd followed Him wherever he went, blessing him, and praying to be taught and cured; for they knew He did nothing but Good. Jesus going with his dis- ciples over a sea, called the Sea of Tiberias, and sitting with them on a hill-side, saw great numbers of these poor people waiting below, and said to the apostle Philip, “Where shall we buy bread, that they may eat and be refreshed, after their long journey?” Philip answered, “Lord, two hundred pennyworth of bread would not be enough for so many people, and we have none.” “We have only,” said another apostle—Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother—“five small barley loaves, and two little fish, belonging to a lad who is among us. What are they, among so many!” Jesus Christ said, “Let them all sit down!” They did; there being a great deal of grass in that place. When they were all seated, Jesus took the bread, and looked up to Heaven, and blessed it, and broke it, and handed it in pieces to the apostles, who handed it to the people. And of those five little loaves, and two fish, five thousand men, besides women and children ate, and had ‘enough; and when they were all satisfied, there were ‘ywathered up twelve baskets full of what was left. This was another @f the, Miracles of: Jesus Christ. Our Savior then sent his disciples away in a boat, across the water, and said he would follow them presently, when he had dismissed the people. The people being gone, days left today for the Magic Cit; “Christ and the Fishermen,” by Zimmerman, a reproduction masterpieces modern Christian art. The original first was exhibited at the Jubilee Exposition in Berlin in 1886 and now hangs in the National Gallery in Berlin. he remained by himself to pray; so that the night came on, and the disciples were still rowing on the water in their boat, wondering when Christ would come. Late in the night, when the wind was against them and the waves were running high, they saw Him coming walking towards them on the water, as if it were dry land. When they saw this, they were terrified, and cried out, but Jesus said, “It is 1, Be not afraid!” Peter, taking cour- age, said, “Lord, if it be thou, tell me tc come to thee upon the water.” Jesus Christ said, “Come!” Peter then walked towards Him, but seeing the angry waves and hearing the wind roar, he was frightened and began to sink, and would have done so, but that Jesus took him ky the hand, and led him into the boat. Then, in a moment, the wind went down; and the disciples said to one another, “It is true! He is the Son of God!” yesus did many mere miracles after this happened and cured the sick in great numbers: making the lame walk, and the dumb speak, and the blind see. And being again surrounded by a great crowd who were faint and hungry, and had been with him for three days eating little, he took from his disciples seven loaves and a few fish, and again divided them among the people who were four- thousand in number. They all ate, and had enough; and of what was left, there were gathered up seven baskets full, He now divided the disciples, and sent them into many towns and villages, teaching the people, and giving the... power to cure, in the name of God, all those who were ill. And at this time He began to tell them (for he knew what would happen) that he must one day go back to Jerusalem where he would suffer a great deal, and where he would certainly be put to Death. But,he said to them that on,the third day after he was dead, hq would rise from the grave, } andl" ascetid”to Heaven, where he would sit at the right hand of God, beseeching God’s pardon to sinners.
