Schoolboy’s paper: “The Greeks started the custom of each man _ having. otily one wife, and they called it mo- notony.”” Fred Girton, editor of Miami Friday Night, says he is mighty glad he is a free American, Congratulations. Tell us, or if necessary whisper, how it’s done. We would like to be free, too. Key West has produced a_ three- péund avoeado, nine inches long, 17 inches around. Is this the Florida: record?— Tampa Tribune. If there are any larger we congratulate the grower. A fellow was seen furtively looking about while weighing himself. Possibly in fear of a cop catching him tipping thn seales, These hoary ones come in handy since the non-tipping ordinance has be: come a law. The “no-tipping” ordinance in Key West, that provides a fine for those found guilty of the offense, is a step in the right ditéction. It gives hope that Key West will really be a unique Winter resort.— Jacksonville American. When checks were not forthcoming to relief workers at Huntsville, Ala., be- cause they had not put. in their full time, several scores of them promptly threatened to-hold officials “prisoners all. night’, whereupon they were paid. Nothing like standing up for one’s rights. According to the Miami Herald, the United States meteorologist of Miami in- forms this paper the bureau is responsible for the dissemination of storm information in Monroe county with the exception of Key West and the adjacent islands. After iweleding Key West and adjacent islands there isn't much left in Monroe county ex- cept Cape Sable.

He was also the Socialist party’s candidate for Congress from California in 1920, for the United States Senate in 1922, and for governor in 1926, as the He is the founder of the Intercol- legiate Socialist Society, which has been actively devoted to the spread of Socialism in American colleges and universities, and wherever else it might disseminate its doc- trines, How President Roosevelt views the nomination of Sinclair by the Democrats has not been disclosed as this is written, but the situation which it has created ‘is most interesting, and will furnish the sub- ject of much speculation during the mainder of the campaign, re- Sinclair will be opposed in the Novem- ber election by the present Republican gov- ernor, Frank F. Merriam, who to the office upon the death of Governor Rolph a few months ago. OATHS FOR TEACHERS Teachers in both public and private schools in the state of New York will be required to take the oath of allegiance, in compliance with a law recently passed and Bills con- taining a similar provision are proposed ir several other states. It might seem to some that such a law is superfluous, but the fact that many teachers have protested against taking the oath indicates that the requirement may not be a bad idea. It is said that no less than 800 teachers in New York City alone have objected to swearing allegience to the government and the Constitution. Every official must take the con- stitutional oath of office, and as there are few positions in which loyalty to the nation is more essential than that of a teacher, it is difficult to see why therc should be any objection to it, unless the teacher be a Communist or other enemy of American institutions, e A loyal teacher could have no valid reason for not declaring his or her loyalty, while a refusal to make such a declara- tien would be rather conclusive evidence that the teacher in question was unfit to teach future American citizens. WHERE WILL THE MONEY COME : FROM?
