Gardner, of Atlantic City, 94, believes longevity runs in families, and while she neither drinks nor smokes, does rot attribute her ripe old age to those deprivations. “I probably would have lived as long if I did those things,” is her opinion. The automobile world is becoming trailer-minded. You see them everywhere. That sort of travel appeals to people with slender means, and most people have slender means, so its future popularity is evident One can fish with rod and reel in the streams along the route and have at least one free meal—and the fish would be fresh. The trailer-way has much to commend it, but the railroads and bus lines are not welcoming this innovation in travel. CLASH OF IDEALS When men and women get out and fight for a cause, endangering their lives, this is some evidence of sincerity of con- viction as to such a necessity. In Spain a bloody warfare is proceeding between Spaniards who disagree with each other as to what form of government their coun- try should have. Reduced to a simple form, not with complete exactitude, the struggle represents the age-old conflict of con- servatism with liberalism. The ‘Popular : Front’? Government of Spain leans to the Left, with liberal tendencies. Opposed to the Government are the conservatives, who fear the danger of further progress to the left, therefore, they are willing to set up a militaristic dictatorship. The Spanish Government is being sup- ported in its battle against the Rightists | is | by the Communists in Spain, which natural, for obviously any liberal govern- ment is more in line with the extremes of communism than a fascist of a dictatorial government The struggle in Spain has its inter- national reactions. Italy and Germany, both governed by dictators, are sym- pathetic to the challenging rebels. In ‘neighboring France, the liberal and demo- | cratie government is in sympathy with the governmental] forces in Spain. There is considerable danger of Euro- pean warfare if either fascist Italy or Ger- many or liberal France takes any measures to assist those in Spain possessing similar political viewpoints. Some commentators see in the strug- gle now going on in Spain a beginning of a battle between fascism and democracy. It has been openly charged that both Italy and Germany aided in the fomenting and arming of the rebellion. The diplomatic maneuvering going on follows the course of international events of the past year or so. The dictatorial coun- tries, Italy and Germany, force their views, capitalizing on the known fact that the Democratic countries France and Britain, will give considerably in an effort to avoid war. We are rather of the opinion these ons sharpen the appetite of the militarists and will gradually lead them to more extremes. Italy and Germany do not understand the conciliatory attitude upon the part of their opponents but as- cribe such an attitude to weakness and fear. Sooner or later the liberal and demo- cratic countries of the world will have to act to control the militaristic nations, such as Italy, Germany and Japan. FOOD AMPLE—ABOUT PRICES Discussion as to probable increased prices for foodstuffs as a result of the drought brings to mind the fact that the Department of Agriculture assures the public that there is ample food in sight to feed the nation. Some wheat will be imported from Canada, perhaps, in ordey to obtain hard’|* wheat for bread but if the American peo- ple would be satisfied with soft wheat there would he no need for seeking sup- plies elsewhere. In fact, while the huge wheat surpluses have been eliminated the country as a whole, will probably have some of the soft wheat types available for export. Trices for food are about thirty per cent higher than they were. three years ago, as measured by the cost of feeding an average family but in 1933 prices were about at the bottom. Compared to 1929 prices the cost of the market basket, as cal- culated by government prices is not so bad. Food costing as much as $6.21 in 1929 could be purchased on June 30, 1936, for $5.02. , + A RUNNER, NOT A SALUTER Adolf Hitler's Nordic theory suffered a severe strain when Americans demon- strated that they could beat the world’s best in racing events on the track of the Berlin Stadium, where the Olympic games are being held. With all the salutes and ceremonies attending the reception accorded Herr Hit- ler it is not surprising that one Negro, John Woodruff, after winning the 800-metre race, gave five different salutes to the dig- nitaries and said, “I hope I didn’t offend anybody. I would have given more salutes, but I didn’t know them.” He added, unnecessarily perhaps, “I am an 800-metre runner, not a saluter.” perhaps | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Professor of Economics and S “Ameri¢an equality” is little un- derstood by. the pank and file. This is unfortunate. It expresses a vital, essential principle of American citi- zenship. The phraseol- ogy used in de- seribing the status of the American citi- zen is borrowed from the field of political sci- ence. Those who are trained in political sci- ence under- stand the exact technical mean- ing of sov- ereignty and equality. Sov- eignty means supreme power in the domain gov- erned by the sovereign A free and independent sovereign. regardless of population, extent of territory and wealth, holds the status of equality with all other sovereigns. He recog- nizes no power over him. takes orders from no one, and demands that he be treated as an equal ir all his rela- tionships with other sovereigns. A sovereign cannot become dependent on other, sovereigns and retain his sovereignty. Any sort of dependence is antagonistic to and destroys sov- ereignty and equality The sovereign must carry the responsibility of tak- ing care of himself. He inust be inde- pendent. Under the constitution the Ameri- can citizen is made a sovereign, and is given the status of equality with all other citizens. This means that Ameri- can citizenship puts him at the top; that no other citizen has any sort of power over him. But of necessity, sovereignty and equality are tied up with indepen- dence. Sovereignty and equality can- not exist without independence. It is a contradiction of terms to call a de- pendent a sovereign, or to refer to a THE WEATHER Highest Lowest Mean “ Normal Mean ....

Dependency means the surrender of both sovereignty and equality ‘rom the beginning of our history it has been recognized and accepted as the duty of the government to take care of those who are mentally, morally or physically incapacitated to take care of themselves. But these are not really American citizens. | They are the wards of the govern- ment. It is really inconsistent for the wards of the government to hold and exercise the right of suffrage. In Eng- land some years ago people were not permitted to vote who had accepted public charity within a specified pe- riod. Doubtless this is the law today. | It would not only be inconsistent but | destructive to social order to permit the wards of an institution to vote any appropriation they pleased from | the pockets of tax payers for their | own enjoyment. If dependents are permitted to ex- | ercise the full rights of suffrage, we are in danger of a new type of slavery in this country. The great army of dependents today, together with an army still greater who are seeking to : be classified as dependents led by a ! third large army of office holders con- stitute such a large proportion of our | pepulation that the self respecting | hard working independent citizens | may be forced to surrender and be- come the slaves of their mendicant masters. This is certainly a new deal! An American citizen cannot ask for special aid from the government. The government has no money. When a man asks for special aid from the | government, he is really “beggin” from his neighbors. It is for each to decide for himself - whether he will surrender his sov- , ereignty and independence as an , American citizen, and as a ward join | the great army of dependents, or fight the good fight as an American citizen and defend and protect his priceless birth right. One votes either as a , citizen or a ward. (Address questions to the author, care of this newspaper) 1 !
