This was stipulated in the Emergency Relief Act of 1936. In the light of this requirement, how in heaven's name will the relief rolls ever be decreased? It isn’t in the human makeup to leave.a soft job for a harder one at the same pay. The Spanish bishop of Jaen tried to amugele out of the country Some 8,000,000 pesetas through his sister who had them hidden in her corset, but the bulkiness of her bust, ample in many Spanish women, caused suspicion and yielded the pesetas. The result was further outbreaks against the clergy, in which the innocent suffered with the guilty.

At an Institute of Pacific Relations, being conducted at Yosemite, Cal., the; question of the Philippine Island’s future naturally came up for discussion. The Japanese delegation advocated a treaty between the United States, Great Britain and Japan to guarantee per- manently the independence and neutrality of the islands. Among the Japanese pres- ent were Lieut. Gen. Banzai and former | Minister Yoshizawa, a member of the | House of Peers. It was therefore assum- | ; ed that while the Japanese did not speak | officially their views had the _ tacit ap-| proval of Tokyo. The idea met with general approval among other delegates although there were those among the British and Amer- ican delegations inclined to be cynical. They saw little value in creating another scrap of paper to be dropped into the in- ; ternational wastebasket. Facing a world in which nations drop | all pretense of being bound by treaties to | secure what they consider advantages what nation would depend upon such treaties security? Obviously, only those who could not otherwise defend themselves. Suppose for example, that such a treaty came about with Japan, the United States and England guaranteeing the independence of the islands, Would Japan honor its terms any more than.she for to China? Who can say? The disquiet with which | Americans in the present fighting in Spain. Italy seems willing and ready to take a hand, if she can gain something out of the situa- tion, such as shall we say,. vital ports on} the Mediterranean coast or islands in that strategic sea, Let us suppose that the United States | T gets into difficulties with some other na- | tion. What would be the attitude of the powerful nations of the world? Would they sit back and hope for an early and peaceful solution of our dispute? Some would, it may be assumed, but are there some who would not? Would Japan, or Italy, or Germany, or Great Britain take advantage of the situation? Most of us are convinced that somewhere, some na- tion would make the most of our diffi- culties. Facing such a troubled scene it is the part of wisdom for the people of the United States to insist that their navy shall be the equal of that of ‘any other nation and that our army, small in size, shall be at least adequately armed and equipped. Moreover, with airplanes to fly the sky, we want an air force able to command the | respect of any nation that looks towards these shores with hostile eyes. LONG PUBLIC SERVICE Of all the men who have served in Congress since the beginning of our gov- ernment, Joseph G. Cannon, “Uncle Joe,” of Illinois holds the longest .record, 46 years, all of which was in the HouS8e of Representatives, although Po Au. not continuous, Justin S. Morrill‘ of Vertis longest continuous record in Congress. little less than 44 years, divided “ee House and Senate. For total service in the Senate, that of Francis E. Warren of Wyoming was the longest, more than 37 years. But for long- est continuous Senate record William B. Allison of Iowa achieved the distinction with more than 35 years of uninterrupted service to his credit. None of these records are even close- ly approached by any present members of | either branch of Congress, and it is likely that they will all stand fora good many years to come. Ss THE DIGEST POLL UNDERWAY Once again the Literary Digest an- neunces its famous poll to ascertain the | sentiment of voters in the United States | and to anticipate, if possible, the results of | the election to be held in November. The magazine's past efforts along this line have been remarkably successful, although commentators point out that | each of the last three presidential elec- tions have been determined by an over- | whelming sentiment and that no close election has been accurately forecast, One of the novel features this year is | the fact that results of the poll will be an- | nounced three nights a week, fago. THE KEY WEST CITIZEN You an Nation’s The Oath d Your Affairs Of Office’ By GUS W. DYER Nothing is so fundamental in-rep- resentative government as the sancti- ty of the oath that representatives are required to take. The foundation principles of civilization are given in the Ten Command- ments, and they are the bases of the funda- mental laws of civilized socie- ty. It is signifi- cant that the sanctity of an oath is given unusual promi- nence ard em- phasis among the Command- ments. fr. a eharge given to a jury by a distinguished Federal Judge some years ago, the na- ture and the sanctity of the cath that the jurors had taken were discussed af length The learned Judge spoke as follows: ‘Gentlemen, there can be no mo" ~ solemn obligation. Upon the first tab- le‘ of th» law delivered by the Al- mighty to Moses amidst the thun. -s of Sinai was inscribed the Command ment: ‘Thot shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain, for che Lord will not hold him guiltless who taketh his name in vain.’ “That Commandment as interpret ed by the old Jewish rabbis and the best biblicai scholars of the past and present is primarily against perjury It includes ahy other wilful r ».ana- tion of the name of the Diety The reason why it alone of all the Com- mandments ts coupled with the dec- laration that the Lord will not hold ‘im guiltless who violates it, 1s doubt- less Lecause it 1s a wilful insult to the Almighty tc call upon Him to witness | (Address questions to the aut.

For a limited time only {gree brings fri ! tune, attained chiefly through the ; Professor of Economics and Sociology, Vanderbilt University to the truth of a deliberate false- hood.” The makers of the constitution un- derstood the serious nature of an oath. They understood that the sanctity of an oath is the very foundation of civ- ilized, representative government. They assumed that American citizens placed in positions of trust would ac- cevt in full the obligaiions of the oath. Hence in their desire to protect the constitution against all who might at- tempt to destroy it, or in any way make it ineffective they provide in th: constitution that “all Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the members of the several State legislatures, and all executives and judicial officers both of the United States and the several states shall be bound by oath (or affirmation) to support the constitution.” The President is given enormous power by the constitution. The sacred responsibility that the Chief Execu- tive must carry is almost beyond com- prehension. Realizing this fact the makers of the constitution provided. » the instrument itself, the form and the words of the oath that the Presi- dert nust take before he is permitted to take over the awful responsibilities of his office. The oath prescribed is: “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the of- fice of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability pre-, scrve, protect and defend the consti, tution of the United States.” < The President has never ‘publicly explained how he reconciled with the above oath, oi Congress to disregard any doubts they might have with reference to the constitutionality of a certain bill and tc vote for it. Those who construe this appeal as a violation of the sanctity of the oath have eagerly looked for a convincing explanation. ‘hor, care of this newspaper) ange of sign byings aj more nature, easily adaptible to environment, and with a very sociable disposition.
