Consolidation of County and City Governments, The Sun has set, but The Star con- CONSERVATIVES HOLD THE COURTS| The voting strength of the people of the United States is divided fundamentally between conservatives and liberals, just as the same divisions exist in the electorate of every country in the world. Democratic and Republican parties are divided, with each including liberals as well as conservatives. For years a divi- sion has been threatened but the voters, for their own reasons, have been slow to change the party clothes. The liberals won a_ victory when Roosevelt was elected and they added another triumph in the 1934 Congressional elections. What they will do in 1936 re- j mains to be seen but they took a terrific beating when the Supreme Court, essen- tially conservative, passed on legislative measures. In other words, the liberals control the legislative and executive branches of the Federal government and the conserva- tives dominate the judiciary. This is the cold fact, without disparagement to the good fortune of the conservatives. They are entitled to what they have. If the liberals constitute a majority of the peo- ple of the nation and cam convince the voters that their policies should be carried out, it won’t be long before the liberals will control the judiciary. pa ae!

Our own idea is that farmers are | more interested in government payments than in the organization that makes the payments or where it gets them. H Since there is no higher authority, it is self-evident that the supreme court is infallible when interpreting the con- stitutionality of the law of the land. Perhaps Governor Hoffman did not want to have Hauptmann electrocuted on the anniversary of the birth of Benjamin Franklin, the discoverer of electricity, which was Friday, January 17. To be a suce ul seller you must know what the buyers want and*then let the buyers know that you ha it. The Citizen will carry your message with alacrity and to all that might be inter- ested. La Turner, the artist now visiting this city, say; she has always looked upon Key West as the period at the end of a sen-j tence. A visit to Florida is not complete | until Key West, the period, is seen. Once} seen the visits will become period-ical. Look out for gasoline thieves.

Some 25 years ago the | writer saw Jose Miguel and his son, the} new president, come out of the woods, | worn and bedraggled, after an unsuccess- ful coup d’etat in revolt of the existing | government. Neither was punished as it; was a sort of an old Spanish custom to re- spond to the cry “A la Manigua,” when the former; the pocket of a man sleeping in a subway, Woodard’s too many fingers got jammed and his arrest followed. Recounting some feats of women avia- tors, a writer reminds us that the first wom- an airplane pilot in the world was Harriet Quimby, who obtained her license in 1912. She met the fate of most pioneer flyers, be- ing killed in a crash while giving a stunt exhibition in Boston. A Winnipeg bank holds an involuntary deposit which is not likely to be checked out. When two robbers entered the bank, and one asked to have a $10 bill cashed, the teller spied revolvers under their coats. He beat them to the draw, and they fled, leaving the $19 bill on the counter. The death of Samuel Edwards in Cin- cinnati recalled to old-timers a riot it that city in 1884, in which 50 petsons were killed and hundreds injured. The riot fol- lowed a jury’s verdict of manslaughter, in a case in which the mob demanded the death penalty. Edwards was the last sur- viving member of that jury, and died at the age of 72. Anders Hansen of Copenhagen was choking to death from a crust of bread lodged in his windpipe, so he stuck the blade of his pocket knife into his throat just below the obstruction, and got relief until a regular surgeon could be called to finish the job. In the present chaotic condition of af- | fairs it might be well to ponder this para- graph from Macaulay, the famous _his- torian: ‘All the most noted destroyers and deceivers of our species, all the founders of arbitrary governments, have been ex- traordinary men, and nine-tenths of the calamities which have befallen the human race have had no other origin than the union of high intelligence with low de- sires.” This odd advertisement appeared in a Seattle newspaper: “Neighbors hostile; will trade silver cornet for revolver or shotgun.” Perhaps if the advertiser gets rid of his cornet the neighbors will abate their hostility, even without his resorting to firearms for protection. Correspondence courses are helpful to many, but they have their limitations, as Urban of New York can testify. Studying to be a detective, he tried to follow written instructions for the handling of a revolver, and shot himself in the leg. Prince Saijoni of Japan is quoted as saying: ‘He who would be a politician in Japan can not say what he thinks, can not do what he says, has to be a hypocrite, and at times tell lies.” It seems that Japan diately and the proposals will be: opened February 18.
