Life is a question of balance—to be exact, bank balance. And like the tight- rope walker, we must keep our balance and can't afford to slip. The way to have good government is to have honest voters as well ag honest of- ficials. The acceptance of the price of the poll tax is as guilty as the proffer of the crooked candidate, Governor Sholtz’ batting average is | reaching new highs. His recent appoint- ments are meeting with popular approval, | but he has pulled some awful boners. us hope he is out of the slump and keep his batting average up.

It depends mostly on the | tourist business for sustenance. On July Fourth, it is estimated, 8,000 automobiles | entered the town for recreation. While this is the focal point for some 25,000,000 | people, Key West's distinctive feature is | that when the bridges are built it will be the focus of every automobile owner the most southern . city in the States, reached over a unique as ) tavifi on farm ploducts from abroad, and | ; 052,000 bushels, gf wheat, paying a tariff | i of 42 cents a bushel; 20,427,000 bushels of i pounds of cotton ; ‘ponding reduction in employment of farm | rather futile business, and the sooner it is | of physic | ing in a metal disc, against which one end | of a stick. of wood is placed, the othér end! | chapels in his home land and plans to use | guns. } United | road _ that; goes out to sea. FOOD FROM ABROAD Figures compiled from government sources show that great quantities of food- stuffs had to be imported into the United States from foreign countries last year to make up the shortage caused by domestic crop curtailment poiicies and the effects of the drouth of 1934. j This happened in spite of the heavy these imports represented food which | should have been produced on more than 15 million acres of Ame: n land, Ireluded in these imports were 14,- corn, paying a tariff of 25 cents a bushel; | 22,393,000 pounds of butter, paying a tariff of 15 cents a pound; 3,476,000 seed oil, 11,000,000 bushels of barley, besides considerable quantities of other agricultural products. Needless to say, exports of American farm products, except cotton, dwindled to near nothing, and cotton exports were greatly reduced. The reduction of crop acreage in the United States naturally caused a_ corre- labor and a consequent increase in public expenditures for uemployment relief. Tinkering with the law of supply and demand by politicians thus appears to be a abandoned the better it will probably be for the entire country. AID FOR THE DEAF Through an invention recently ex-| hibited by Dr. Frederick Bedell, professor ; at Cornell University, a great | many persons who are supposed to be! deat can hear music satisfactorily through their teeth. Briefly described, the apparatus used ; is a special phonograph receiver, terminat- | i | being held lightly between the _ listener’s teeth. The sound vibrations pass directly to the auditory nerves through the teeth and } jawbones, even though the eardrums have been destroyed. Of course, destructon of the auditory nerves themselves would for- ever preclude hearing, but many cases of deatness result merely from defects in the outer ear. In such cases Dr, Bedell’s in- vention would make hearing possible. An idea advanced in connection with j; the new device is that the special trans- mitters might be placed near a_ radio or} phorograph, or even attached to the seats} of a talkie picture theater. The deaf lis- tener could provide himself with the nece sary wooden stick and “listen in” at h pleasure, using his teeth as normal persons } use their ears, There would even be some advantage in such a procedure. The listeners would not be annoyed by the irrelevant.remarks and alleged wit of ‘“‘back seat’ auditors, KAGAWA’S CHRISTIAN PROGRAM Christians in the United States will probably be interested in the plans of Dr. Toyohiko Kagawa to -establish 1,000 chapels in Japan to serve as commurity and religious centers. 1 Dr. Kagawa, one of the noted ex- nvonents of Christianity in Japan, has re- cently been in this country on a prolonged tour. He hopes to set up a_ thousand them in the day time for day nurseries; in} the evening for night schools; on Sundays | for church services; and in the Winter for agricultural institutes. It will be observed that the Japanese leader will attempt to carry religion into ; the full acti of the individuals whom | he expects to serves Possibly, his program ' and the reasofing behind it could be studied with? g50@effeet™by the churches in other sectiofis of the world. 4 } S .

Fed- THE KEY WEST CITIZEN -You and Your Nation’s Affairs Let’s Get Together By ERNEST MINOR PATTERSON President, American Academy of Political and Social For the next few months the spell- oinders will point with pride and view with alarm. A presidential cam- paign is a period of emotional jazz and there seems to be no way to avoid it, Millions of thoughtful men and women, however. are sincecely anx- ious to reach a calm decision. For years the lines of distine- tion between our two major partieshave been blurred. Recentsy there has even been an actual or at least a seeming reversal of position on some issues. Historically the Re- publicans have stood for a strong cen- tral government while the Democrats have been advocates of states rights and local initiative. During the last eral activity and control have greatly increased and the Republicans are protesting. As a result, there is confusion in both camps. There are many Republi- cans who call themselves liberal who believe that economic and political life is now too complex for our old organization and procedure. They are Science opposition is clear and is reflected in the Republican platform adopted at Cleveland. There are the to-be- expected criticisms of the Roosevelt Administration. There ts also a grati- fying recognition that conditions have undergone sweeping changes in the last few years. There is an acknowl- edgment of the national significance of the problems facing the farmers. the unemployed and other groups. Much that has been done cannot be undone whetker we like it or not Those who regret it must now with entire frankness accept the situation as it is and consider the next steps. Of course they will demand a Repub- lican leadership. Of course there will be some attempt to catch votes by be- ing “all things t. all men.” But these are new times. The faulty and foolish experiments should be abandoned. Experience dictates many improve- ments that should be made in politi- cal organization and methods, and these should be demanded by the conservatives of both parties. But how about those who have fa- vored these changes and perhaps want others like them? They also should hesitate. Even if the movement has been in the right general direction, mistakes should be acknowledged. Our tinkering with the gole dollar been failures and should be given up. Serious abuses have developed in the administration of public relief. Why not acknowledge these errors, even if sympathetic toward some of the re- cent changes. On the other hand, many Democrats are strongly opposed to so much concentration of control in Washington and are deeply resent- ful of many of the procedures that have been followed. Some even an- nounce that they will this year vote for the Republican candidate. This shifting about need not sur- prise us. We are in the midst of a world-wide upheaval. Many of our problems are not peculiar to the United States. In different forms they exist all over the globe. Profound re- adjustments are taking place. Start- it be done only tacitly? On the broader issues. too, the tib- erals or radicals ought to make con- cessions. Even if they welcume what has happened they should realize that the pace should now be moderated. There is such a thing as too rapid movement, even if it is in the right direction. It is time to call a nalt. It we are moving in the wrong direction we should certainiy stop. Even if the di- rection is right we should pause and consolidate any gains that have been made. Aside from a few fanatics the American public do not desire any- ing in Russia they have worked west- ward. At present they are definitely to the front in France where a new government is wrestling with them. Many alterations have come in all countries and doubtless others are on the way. Fortunately in the Unitea States it 1s possible for the two conflicting points of view to be reconciled, at least in part. The position of the thing approaching a political or eco- nomic revolution. Many improvements are demanded and should be made. Fortunately the Republican platform concedes many of them. If we can only see it, there is a common ground upon which thoughtful citizens can unite and whose significance should be clear to the victorious party. Let us get to- gether.
