We have in this world socialism, com- moniem, fascism, sovietism, and look who’s here-—Stateism, a benign system whose ob- ject is to push all men “into the soft bosom of the State.” Incidentally, stiil listening to the whisperers, it is said that Messrs.

Maybe groundless, but the whisper is passing around Washington that some- thing “new and big” is to be announced by the administration with President Roose- velt back at his desk. The whisperers say it is to be as startling as the AAA, the FWA and, perhaps, the NRA. A preacher in Goldsboro, N.

He tries at all times to define, so far as is humanly possible, the dividing line between fact | and theory, although he deals with both. New theories are given respectful ex- amination and if they can be proved they are assigned their places in the categories of fact. And when the scientific world in general reaches an agreement in any mat- ter, it is the best possible evidence of its truth. In an address before a scientific as- sociation some time ago, Chief Justice | Hughes said: | “We need your interest in knowledge | for its own sake; your ceaseless search for truth; your willingness to discard every disproved theory, however honored by | tradition, while you jealously conserve | every grain of the past.” ! While the scientific investigator, as a rule, receives meager material rewards in return for his services to mankind, all progress, both material and intellectual, has been primarily due to his labors. Without the leadership of inquisitive, investigating and indomitable minds, we should not have advanced far beyond the standards of the cave man.

A short impression was created the horticultural board meeting, asking no Key West representative, and practi: ally put the matter over by itself.
