Consolidation of County and City Governments, on ments,’ An educator advances the novel idea that children should be taught how to spell. All share-the-wealth plans are fan- tastic and substitute optimism for political economy. Any soap-box orator can spout of the greedy rich and predatory wealth; it takes a statesman to skip this stage and plan sanely, justly and wisely. A headline reads—“‘Newspaper Man Loses Bankroll.” There ain’t no such ani- mal.—Sarasota Herald. It might have been just a little bitty roll. Why not abolish the Ten Command- ments? They have always been irksome, and should be outmoded, being so much older than the Constitution. Politicians are dropping dead from heart failure, not only in the United States but in Europe as well. Trying to be all things to all men entails a terrific strain. A heavy toll is expected from, the ranks of politicians favoring the Townsend plan. Experience does one good according to the power one possegses tovlearn.

And that, the Sentinel adds, “shows 4 he danger of Utopian schemes and their ability to drive froin office good men, men who have the courage to speak out and ‘warn the public.” Many will share its doubts, however, that ‘“‘such a thing will happen in the case of Mark Wilcox.

PRINTING THE- NEWS When to print a disagreeable story and when to leave one out of the paper is one of the most troublesome problems of a small-town editor. In the case of a per- son who is unfaithful to a public trust, or one who is guilty of serious crime, it is not difficult to decide, because the public in- terest, as well as the public’s right to have = ~ | the news, demands that it be printed. There are some cases, however, in which the offense is entirely of a personal nature, and in which publishing. the story. would bring sorrow and embarrassment to; innocent persons without serving any bene- ! ficial purpose. In these the making of a ! proper decision is often not easy. If the story is printed, relatives and friends of the person concerned will feel that it is unnecessary; if it is suppressed, the scan- Gal-mongers will be disappointed, and many will insinuate that the editor was “bought off.” _ These same scandal-mongers would howl the loudest, however, if their own shady actions were held up to public gaze. So it’s hard to please everybody, and .no editor of sense tries to please every- - body. He must let his own judgment and his own conscience be his guide. If h. errs on the side of kindness and sympathy for the unfortunate, his error will be forgiven and forgotten by the more enlightened readers’ of his newspaper. SIDELIGHTS By MARCY B. DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen A New York observer recently made a wisecrack which seems to have some ‘truth in it. He said he did not believe the stock market was a true barometer of business, but rather a thermometer to reg- ister the temperature of cold feet in high places. About 5,000 persons in New York City call the telephone exchange each day to ask the correct time. One operator on duty for the purpose-answers all calls, al- though she does not hear the inquirers’ voices. She simply announces the time every 15 seconds, and all who are con- nected with her line can hear. Some years ago John Gellatly .Washington left an art collection worth about five million dollars to the Smith- sonian Institution, and later his remaining fortune was lost. When he died at the age of 78, his family had to borrow money :with which to pay his funeral expenses. At Augsburg, Germany, a memorial tablet is to be placed on a house nearly four centuries old, where what is claimed to be the world’s first newspaper, The Aviso, was established in January, 1609.

Mrs. Edward Jefferson, of Danville, iil, applying for a 1936 fishing license, wrote the clerk: “My mother’s maiden name was Fish and my father’s name was Herring; I was born at Fountain Creek in the “Sucker” state of Illinois; now you know why fishing is my hobby.” One of the oldest persons in the Uni- ted States with an authentic birth record was Mrs. Sarah Ellen Johnson, who died recently at Thomason, Ga., at the age of 112. She was born at Wrightsville, Ga., on July 18, 1823, when James Monroe was President of the Ynited States. Mrs, Johnson was well and active until a few hours before her death. The 200th anniversary of the birth ra: James Watt, the: sloper: ofoth engine, was celebrated in Great Britain and other countries on January 19, and ex- | | ercises held in England were broadcast | throughout the world.
