Tampa welcomes the Reds, but only once a year, and they all come from Cin- cinrati. Significantly or insgnificantly, but the Miami Herald states editorially that the gambling in Miami has been ordered closed “again.” Key West is lucky in having a gasoline tax tried out in other places Florida first.

The government is not so soft as pri- vate mortgage owners who often defer foreclosure 0 mortgages for long periods. The HOLC a covernment agency, is more ike and. foreclosing on 1,246! There is this difference also; the | government does not get the lambasting private owners get wi *n they foreclose the mortgage on the old homestead. Wher the death and funeral of Sidney J. Catts, former governor of Florida, was chronicled in the press, there were few expressions of regrets, and at the inter- ment there were only a handful of mourn- ers. The Citizen thinks he lacked sin- cerity, for once he told the writer (not in confidence) that he was friendly to the big-wigs of the corporations, but added “I don’t want my 40,000 crackers to know that.” Catis was a good hater and that brought him only enemies. In Palm Beach a woman gave birth to triplets. First she accused one man to be the father, then another, and each ex- pressed willingness to marry the mother. The court decided to wait a year and see whom the triplets favored in appearance before passing judgment as to the par- entage. A Solomonic judgment might be rendered by giving one child to each of the two accused of the fatherhood, but what about the third of the triplets? Per- haps another Barkis who is_ willin’ and just as guilty may be found and that should settle the case satisfactorily. icesis became at stake, in ; measures to uphold | furma | tions .» c.vak aggressive and ! signs in war. j; commerce made all parts. of | business are those who think any curtail- } sert some ominously stern notes i peacetimes. | and knowledge concerning the world af- | fairs into which our nation has to plunge. DISCUSSING NEUTRALITY In case of a European or Asiatic war almost every American would be in favor of neutrality; that is, that the States take no <ides but be an impartial ob- server, unless and until cur own vital in- | which event most Americans would support military the honor, prestige and rights of this country. “Jonor, prestige, and rights’—a | rather .omplicated and all-comprehensive which has come down from past centuries and has been often used by na- selfish de- In the United States Senate-during re- cent weeks there has been a considerable ; discussion of these factors under the gen- | eral term of “neutrality” legislation. Wide | and varied differences of opinion have been shown to exist and no one is probably wise enough to know which is the safer and happier course for this nation tc definitely determine upon. There are some who would want our country to continue in the same isolation which was possible in the earlier years, be- fore improved transportation and modern the world close and complementary. There are few, on the other hand,-who would go the full limit of international cooeperation in an effort to avoid war. They would have this country join the League of Nations, be- come a member of the World Court, and a a do everythirg possible to strengthen concentrated power to avert war. Atother viewpoint, one with surpri ing strength, has been represented by those who would be interested only in keeping out of war, regardless of whether it helps or hurts any other nation, or even our own commercial interest. Opposed to this viewpoint of iimitation upon ordinary ment of our rights to trade would be in derrogation of our sovereignty. The “freedom of the seas,” a tradi- tional international policy pursued by this country, has in the past, and would in the future, cause irritation and possible war if we insisted upon the right to trade with belligerents in the area of warfare. Dur- ing the World War our State Department to the British about their interfering with our privilege to use the seas as we had in i | The general discussion of these prob- lems of foreign policy are encouraging. .o nation can ever pursue a democratic ana peaceful Joreign consistently niss its people have some understanding ! i ) policy Some one ‘as said that ‘‘the time to pre- pare for peace is during peace.” One of the © s’Jp informed as to the problems of our foreign pol.cy. WHO IS EDUCATED? —— Amidst the confusion among various schools of thought regarding present-day educationa it is really difficult to find a satisfactory yardstick with which to ure that indiyidual, the ated man, Many hold the view that no one truly educated unless he is familiar with the classics, proficient in several lan guages living and dead, versed in higher mathematics, and so on. Another school, while recognizing the desirability of a classical education when circumstances permit, denies that the classicists have ex- clusive claims to real education. In this connection a thought express- | ed by the Boston philanthropist, Edward T. Filene, is pertinent. He declares that “the educated mind today is the mind which best learns how to use the knowl-|} edge in existence particularly those truths which apply to the thing which he is do-} ing.” Zz And that seems to be a good | definition. | elusive is very Out near Seattle there is a cow re- ported by Norman W. Gregg, the well-! known Chicago publicist, to have produced 38,606 pounds of milk and 1,402 pounds of butter fat in a year, thus breaking all world records. That is about eight times the milk and butter of the average dairy cow. The governor and other leading of- ficials in the State of Washington paid tri- bute to the famous cow. Very properly her name is Daisy—and isn’t she a daisy?
