It sounds logical. Is it possible that Peggy Hopkins Joyce has caught up with her marrying at last? ‘ A doctor gets- paid according’ to his knowledge of his patient’s physical and financial condition, The Puritans thought it was wicked to have a good time.

The fear of taxation has simply ruined the building of air castles. The law mak- ers would class them under the head of in- tangible tax, presumably.

The Scotch, as a whole, seem to be proud of the impeachment that “they keep the Sawbath and everything else they can lay their hands on,” but they add the characteristic proviso, “provided it is worth the. keeping,” Through burdensome taxation con- tinuing unrelentleasly, all the honey is taken from the beehive and only a little _ Poor quality molasses left to conserve our strength to make more honey for the state. If that isn't statism we don’t know a homerun from a base hit. The Times-Union reprints squibs, tag- ging those that meet its fancy as Today's Best. In the May 7 issue it gave thia dis- tinction both to the Tampa Tribune and the Key West Citizen. There can’t be two bests, go we modestly hand the palm to Ed. Lambright. He probably knows best, any- way. BRITAIN SHUTS THE DOOR The British government made a a protest against Japan’s threat to bottle up China economically, giving an impression | that it didn’t want to get into any trouble | with Japan, and regarded the matter as a} closed incident. That didn’t look so good | to Americans. After our fitm ‘stand, cit seemed to leave America alone and i el | the burden of Japanese ill will. Then_Britain went ahead.and mat did something. She announced a policy of self-defense against Japan’s textile trade, | which has been flooding the British Empire i with products strangling British textile in- ; dustry. This was done through the British Board of Trade which is controlled by the government at London. President Walter Runeiman proposes to establish a_ strict | quota system against the cheap Japanese imports. Possibly Japan is now wondering | whether she really wants to shut British } goods out of the Chinese market, at the cost of losing British markets. There is not a country threatened by the recent Japanese declaration that could not adopt the British policy. Japan, if she rd THE EY WEST CITIZA AMERICAN LEGION War: PICTURES { insists on closing the open door to China, | ! may find her world matkets ‘closed. The | Chinese market alone is eg but China | herself might start another boycott against | Japan. The Chinese are adept at that game. —a MOTHER'S DAY FOLLOW-UP {: ! — { Mother’s Day observance is doubtless | a fine thing. - Mother deserves a little spe- cial attention and appreciation now and then. If she would rather have it spread through the year in smaller doses than all concentrated in one day; she is polite and says nothing about it. Much of the value of the day is lost, however, if-it is observed merely by a sentimental effusion of gifts and compliments. In his proclamation concerning the day President Roosevelt proposed that everything possible be done “4 rough our churches, fraternal and welfare agencies, for the welfare of mothers and children who may be in need of the necessities of life.’ Why not follow up Mother’s Day with adoption or improvement of mothers’ pension laws? The maternity death rate in the United States is. shockingly high. Why not support whatever work is being done to eliminate the causes of that high | death rate? Let Mother’s Day serve not only as a time to give Mother a bouquet and a box of candy, but also as a starting point for improving conditions that bear unduly hard on many mothers. MURDER CONTRASTS There were 21 murders in London fast year. ‘That is an astonishingly low figure for so large a city, but that is not the only notable fact about London murders. Ac- cording to the annual réiort’ of the London Commissioner of Metropolitan Police, only one murder was left “unsolved.” In that case the. person tried for the crime was ac- quitted. In 11 cases the murderer committed suicide. Arrests were made in the other 10 cases, with nine convictions. It is a record which should shame New York and Chicago. In the United States the homicide rate for 31 cities in 1933 was 10.7 per 100,000 of population. On that basis London would have hundreds of murders a year, as do our own large cities. Murderis far more common over here and more often un- solved. Dr, Frederick L, Hoffman, con- sulting statistician, who compiles yearly crime figures, writes of American cities: “Tt would appear that blood-lust on the part of countless numbers of men and women in this country is reaching unheard- of proportions. Brutal crimes to a con- siderable degree are committed by men and women of education and refinement supposed to be outside the category of per- sons with criminal intent.” Obviously something needs to be done about American law enforcement and also about American character and self-control. Unstrung nerves, explosive emotions and a peculiar indifference to human life are re- sponsible for most of the American homi- cides, ———- SS So ooo ee eed bern in Juan Photo No. 1 shows President Wilson and the Joint Resolution of the 65th Congress declaring war against Germany.
