An optimist receiving a life sentence would console himself with the thought “that life is short, anyway. | a No one need doubt the ability of wo- | **-men to see new light, from the more favor- able opinion the girls entertain of a boy when he shows up with a new car. The Florida Conservator in the Octo- ‘ber issue says: “Below Miami and on to Key West, where the weather conditions are not subject to much change, tarpon ‘and other fish are found in the waters, ~= such as sailfish, amberjack and so forth, and they may be caught the year round. Boats and guides are available at Key e: * Largo and other keys along the Oversea Highway to Key West.” Probably nothing that has appeared on the political scene recently is being watched more closely than the American _ Liberty League, with Jouett Shouse, John W. Davis and Alfred E. Smith as its guid- ing lights to lead the nation toward Amer- | _ican principles. Its potentialities as a poli- “tical factor were best illustrated by the immediate efforts to discredit its forma tion, : *- Arthur Brisbane, who knows news and newspapers, has this to say concern- . ing them: “Newspapers are not ‘merged,’ they die, like horses, cows and human be- ings» Sometimes they die prematurely, when the wrong newspaperman or some- > body who is not a newspaperman gets hold + of them. A newspaper's death is called ‘merged’ because that saves the pride of some newspaper failure. Government! might save newspapers from being ‘mer- : ged in death’ by buying and running them. “But that would be expensive, and if the! government does not believe that, let it} try.” Another easy way out, when a news- paper dies, is to say it “suspended” pub- lication. Pe : RAINBOW’S VICTORY After losing the first two races of the recent series for the America’s Cup, the American defender Rainbow scored four straight victories over the British challen- |, ger Endeavour, thereby retaining the world’s most famous yachting trophy on this side of the water, where it has been held for 83 years. In the opinion of most yachting ex-| perts the Endeavour was really the; speedier boat, but the superior seaman- ship of the Rainbow’s crew, under her great skipper, Harold S. Vanderbilt, en- abled her to triumph in the most exciting series of races ever sailed for the coveted cup. Captain Sopwith of thé’ Endeavour handicapped himself by using a crew com- posed mostly of amateur sailors, after his professional seamen struck for more pay shortly before the yacht left England.. As it turned out, this was fatal t6"his hopes, although every race was decided by a close margin. i, -8 The prize cup, which so long has been sought by British yachtsmen, was first won by the American vessel] America, which defeated her English competitor Aurora on August 22, 1851. Since then no less than 15 British challengers have tried | to lift the cup, but without success. 1834-1934 The Chicago World’s fair has been running under the name “Century of Progress,” which suggests a fascinating thought, as to what the century has given | us. A thousand years ago, a century saw no great gains. If you study the history of the year 934 in Europe, and compare it with the year 834, you will see no great difference. Indeed, about that time, civil- ization seemed to be slipping backward. But from 1834 to 1934, in science, in- | vention and education, the world probably made more advance than it did from the year 1 at the birth of Christ, up to 1834. In 1834 toy locomotives were just begin- ning to pull dinky little trains. There were no telegraphs, no telephones, no auto- | mobiles, no radios, no airplanes, practically no machinery. The inventive powers of the world have now blossomed forth like-tales of magic. But how is it as respects mora) progress? The same old faults that created poverty and misery in 1834, are still with us. When will man awake to the | need for accomplishing in the field of human conduct and welfare, triumphs comparable to those of science?
