The practice of nepotism is distaste- ful to most voters and for a candidate to boast that he will look after his relatives if he is elected to the office to which he aspires, simply spells his defeat. Among visiting politicians in Sanford last week was Sam Getzen, the duPont candidate for State Treasurer. Getzen is running against the present Treasurer Knott who would simply be retired on a pension if Getzen should win. Might as well keep Knott on the job.—Sanford Herald. And avoid tinkering with an ex- periment. Treasurer Knott has the experi- ence; his retention in office will also save the taxpayers of Florida some $2,500. ; —and the people retain their liberties.

And it is difficult to see how any man with a knowledge of world history, | expired term The | Roland ancient and modern, could disagree. two greatest treasures any people can have are a free press and the right of speech. They constitute the ba: of all liberties. They are the very social, economic and; political freedom. They are the friends of representative gov- ernment and the enemies of dictatorship. The newspapers of America shown courage in aggressively resis efforts to curb their liberties. In doing this, they perform a duty to the people of the nation—and they show that they are worthy of the great responsibility that is theirs in these discordant times. have PERSONALITY PLUS Pathfinder tells a sad story which neverthel has a_ decidedly humorous side.
