Annenberg, who is al- so publisher of the Miami Daily Tribune, hence local interest in his newspaper ac- tivities. Mr. Annenberg also owns the New York Morning Telegraph, Daily Rac- ing Form, Radio Guide and Screen Guide, besides Teleflash and Nation-wide News Service. The Inquirer purch price is $15,000,000. That Mr. Hearst is associated in any way in the transfer of this old and valuable newspaper has been denied. Mr. Annenberg would give his right eye if he could secure the Miami Herald, but. Mr. Shutts is quoted as saying that he would never sell the paper to him. In that trans- action the name of Hearst, too, was whis- pered. } OLD TIME CAMPAIGNS While political campaigns are _ still waged with vigor, and are often enlivened with spectacular oratory, they do not com- pare in picturesqueness with those of the old days. Back in the nineteenth century campaign parade was an feature of the pre-election activities, pecially in presidential years. the with banners and transparencies, and led by brass bands, something made up proces- sions miles long in the larger cities, while he smaller communities held similar ral- lies on a lesser scale. It was the custom of rival newspapers to enlarge upon the length of parades by their partisans, while depreciating those of the opposition. The late Vice-President Marshall once told of such a_ circumstance, in claims of rival newspapers held a humor- ous touch. A great parade in behalf of the candidacy of Governor after which, Mr. Marshall says: “In the morning the Democratic news- papers announced that it was the greatest torchlight parade ever seen in the city; that it took two hours to pass a given point. The evening Republican paper quoted this statement, admitting it was true, but added that the given point was Mike Mulhol- land’s saloon.” THE HARDY DOG TICK Scientists of the Department of Agri- culture have been making an_ extensive study of the life and habits of the common dog tick, and have found it to be one of the toughest of living creatures. By way of illustration, it is declared that the tick can live as Jong as three years without a particle of food or drink, and that freezing fails to kill it. The tick is known to be the means of spreading Rocky Mountain spotted fever, which in recent years has been carried to a number of Eastern states. The government scientists are study- ing the tick with a view to developing im- proved means for its eradication, which | would aid in the control of spotted fever infection. i } SIDELIGHTS 8y MARCY B. DARNALL, H Former Editor of The Key West Citizen Word comes from Waukon, Ia., that the 50 cents bounty on rattlesnakes will! not be paid in future unless four inches of each snake's tail is presented to local sup- eivisors. Formerly bounties were paid up- on presentation of rattles only, and some! farmers are said to have raised snakes as a} business, obtaining several sets of rattles irom the same snake. The Smithsonian Institution will pub- lish a transiation of the first medical book written in the western hemisphere, orig- | inally in the Aztec language, in 1552. ~ It} contains remedies for many ailments, in- | cluding feeble-mindedness: If it really prescribes a cure for morons it should have wide distribution. John Kaczmarek of Chicago started ! for a ride on a “scooter” powered with a ga:oline motor, without learning how to stop the thing. He hung on until he crashed against the side of a building, and had to be sent to a hospital by police. He de- clares he will try it again as soon as he is able to take a lesson on stopping. { sf © Carelessness on the part of a_ little | daughter of Ambrus Selle of Ujpest, Hun- gary, raised her family. from poverty °to comfortable circumstances.

Perhaps no better illustra- tion of our in- tellectual care- | lessness can be H found than in j our use of the ! terms conserva- é, liberal, and radical. Not many people can define these words BS is- factory. Not many people can define these classifications clearly and satis- factorily to themselves. 1 may call myself, or be called, a liberal. 1 be- lieve a large proportion of the peo- ple like to call themselves liberals. Why? I aso believe that a large pro- portion of our people secretly ex- perience a sensation of satisfaction If we should ime for the mo- ment that a conservative is a person who wishes to conserve something. and that a radical is a person who wishes to tear up by the roots or erad- icate something. what is a liberal? If he stands between these two ex tremes. does it mean that he neither to conserve nor to e = in short that he does not know what he wants? Or does it mean that he de- sires to conserve a little of this and | eradicate a little of that? If so, what does he wish to conserve and what would he eradicate? Furthermore. what would the conservative con- serve and the radical eradicate? | It would seem fairly obvious that | ‘You and Your. Nation’s Affairs Open Season for Slogans By WALTER E.

For example, when a man points with pride to hiniself or friend and says that he is a liberal, why should we not be intelligent enough ‘> look be- hind the trademark and see specifical- ly what the man stands for? What has he done? What does he do? We should do the same for the conservative and the radical. Then perhaps we can see where we stand with respect to these individuals and their vague classifi- cations. The same general procedure should be applied to popular slogans. It is interesting to notice how subtle and insidious some slogans can be. They carry people off their feet. This is be- cause people are too lazy mentally to look at them squarely. Under analy- sis a slogan is likely to prove to be a foolish thing. And yet they sweep o-er this nation, they agitate people they culminate in disillusionment and disaster, and. in time, their force is spent and they disappear. A slogan is never something to accept at its face value; it is something to scrutinize and to analyze. Then there are our modern arrest- ing or disturbing epithets. They, too, are symptomatic of a certain type of unhealthy mental attitude or condi tion of “icse who employ them2Gen- erally speaking, they are popularly tute for a deliberate and objective meeting of argument or presentation of fact. But they have nothing to do with fact, or accuracy, or truth. They are merely a, manifestation of an un- schooled intellect, of uncontrolled | passion. What does.a discussion of these | things have te do with an understand- ing of our current economic prob- lems? Simply this: there can l~ little hope of arriving at fundamental eco- nomic truths so long as we permit these popular everyday devices for misleading ourselves to control our mental processes. The way to funda- mental truths is via the route of these terms have little r-ality unless: a highly-developed but wholesome skepticism. ; (Address questions to the author, care of this newspaper) Temperatures* : 88 7 | H'ghest Lowest Mean oa 82} Normal Mean ee Rainfall 4 Yesterday’s Precipitation .03 Ins Normal Precipitatio 13 Ins. | is ending at Tomorrow's Almanac Sun rises Sun s Moon Moon sets | mt P.M. | 5:46| High u2 11:28 Barometer 8 a. m. today: Sea level, WEATI (Till 8 p. m., Tuesday) Key West and Vieinity: cloudy tonight and Tuesda “FORECAST! moderate variable winds.
