An exchange says that somebody is going to make a mistake and march Representative Zioncheck to an asylum. But that wouldn't be a mistake. me day A chap interested in polities made the statement today he would like to know what the surprises will be in the election today. If they were known, there would be no surprises. = Judging from the many ‘walk-out: recently, there soon will be a demand for an organization bearing that name. Al Smith, of course, would be named Presi- dert, and Dr. Townsend, vice president. All who walked-out an anyone would.be legion; enough, perhaps, to| start another political party. those There is group of Wilcox rooters awaiting the election returns of today be- fore launching a ‘Wilcox-for-Senate” boom.

Ladies of unquestioned | standing are frequenting boxing bouts in large numbers, Considering the unsatisfactory ex- hibitions which have been staged of late, even among fighters who have held or as- pired to world championships, it is remark- | able that the boxing game has been able ° | to hold its customers so well. It is natural, are being the therefore, that comparisons old-timers. Many have speculated, for example, | on what would have happened if John L. Sullivan in his prime had met a fighter like Jack Dempsey or Tunney, No one will ever know, but when it is | remembered that Sullivan and Kilrain | fought 75 rounds with bare knuckles in the last championship contest under Lon- don prize ring rules, the stamina of thos be discounted. That was in 1889, since which time gloves have championship battle new rules. Under the old London bare knuckle rules a round did not end until one of the tighters was on the ground. Then, after only 30 seconds rest, they went at it again. As Jack Dempsey has pointed out. while Sullivan in his decline was defeated by Jim Corbett in a glove contest, Sullivan went to his grave as the undefeated bare knuckle champion. In comparison with Sullivan, most of our modern fighters seem like mollyeoddles, HANDICAPS OVERCOME An anonymous writer has called at- tention to some of the handicaps which were overcome by those whom the world recognizes as geniuses and leaders of the} first rank. Among those mentioned are the following; Demosthenes, who became the world’s greatest orators, stuttered his youth, Julius Caesar and Napoleon aparte, two of the greatest generals state:men of all time, were epileptics. So was Mohammed, who founded a “religion which now has more than 200 million ad- herents. Alfred the Great, considered “the wisest, best and greatest king” of England, had a lifelong internal disease. Among authors and poets Carlyle was Byron had a club foot, Keats had tuberculosis, Milton was blind, and Pope was a hunchback. Darwin suffered from a nervous dis ease, and Beethoven composed some of his most majestic musical works become totally deaf. In our own generation, the great electrical wizard, Charles P. Steinmetz, was a deformed dwarf, and Helen Keller, one of America’s most accomplished men, has been deaf and blind from hood.

THE KEY WEST CITIZEN -You and Your Nation’s Affairs A Rabbit Hops Out of a Hat, Tra-la By GUS W. DYER | Professor of Economics and Sociology, Vanderbilt University A new school of economics has been founded. It repudiates all eco- nomic systems based on scientific re. search, natural laws and business ex- perience. 3t makes econom- ics and business direction ad- juncts of poli- ties. The expo nents of the new school are not in the least abashed as they see 12,000,000 workers unem- ployed, and the relief roll larger than it was in 1933 They know the cause of the un- toward conditions and they have the remedy. By brilliant diagnosis, the eco- nomic wizard of the new school has found the germ of the industrial dis- ease—the chief cause of all our in- dustrial ills. Our trouble, we are told. is due to a “lack of buying power.” Marvelous discovery! There is only one discovery in history equal in bril- liancy and originality. That was the discovery that a certain creek was dry in time of droughts because it had no water! Now that we have the diagnosis, the remedy is simple. Create new buying power by political action! Raise wages, cut down hours of work. increase costs, and unemployment will disappear, and presto. the prosperity rabbit will jump out of the hat and run merrily over the country! ness man, seeking azing discovery, would find himself engaged in the following dialogue: S.B.M.: “Thousands of business en- terprises today are having a hard ; time to keep going. Some can't meet the increasing costs. Thousands of others are in a little better condition, but government gets almost all the profits. What is the trouble? What is the remedy?” Expert: “Your trouble is in your low costs. You should increase wages and cut down hours of labor. If your pay roll is $10,000 a week you should raise it to $15,000 for the same amount of work. This will increase ‘buying power’ $5,000 a week. Increased buy- ing power is what brings prosperity to busine: S.B.M sn’t this bringing about prosperity in business by simply giv- ing away money Expert: “You are right.

However, we | may look forward to the time when ; the necessity for work will disap- pear, and it wilt only be necessary for working men to drive down to the plants in their Cadillacs and Lin- colns and leave their visiting cards.” S.B.M.: “Where are we going to get the money to meet the heavy increase in cost Expert: “Don't worry about costs. The increase in ‘buying power’ from the money you give away will take ; care of all cost and leave you a hand- | some profit. Look at Government! It doesn’t worry about costs. It thinks only of spending and giving away money. It scatters bil- lions to the four winds without any thought of costs. Go thou and do like- wise, and enter into the more abund- “Won't this great increase in cost force up prices?” Expert: “Of course the prices will rise. But this will greatly increase sales. The higher the price the greater the sales. If a clothing merchant wants to increase his sales he should put a sign in the window: “This gar- ment sold for $15.00 two weeks ago. The price is $25.00 today.
