The Key West Citizen wins on a tech- nicality when it says that all hens are roosters—at night. But they don’t crow about it.—St. Petersburg Independent. It seems to have been decided by the nations of the world that destiny is to be won by the sword, andj in no other way. All our efforts should be bent toward maintaining peace and putting off the inevitable warfare as long as we can. It looks like a dish of crow for” the Literary Digest. Its mistake’ came from sending out only half the ber of ballots it did during the last D dential campaign. That display “a pecuniosity made its pido ication a failure, and henceforth the poll of the| Literary Digest, if it ever has another, will be just another poll. A clergyman, receiving an anonymous letter reproaching him for driving to church in a fine new car, and reminding | him that this was not our blessed Lord’s way of traveling, read the letter from the pulpit. Finishing reading, the clergyman} said: “I admit that it is not. But if the writer of this letter will come to my home next Sunday, bridled and saddled, I shall take great pleasure in following our Lord’s example in this as in all other matters! within my power.” i } “I believe in the United States of a erica as a government of the people, by the people, for the people, whose just! powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a perfect union, one and inseparable, es- tablished under those principles of free- dom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their}! lives and their fortunes. I therefore be- lieve it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against | all enemies.”—William Tyler Page, | probably she should be punished, but | HERE’S TRAGEDY, A young woman, found guilty by a jury of men, faces a prison term in the State of New York after being convicted ; of the slaying of her ee son a few | hours after his birth. The girl in question, as a defense for the act, asserted that pain and terror rob- bed her of control of her actions, that she | fainted and the infant rolled from_,her ! arms on the roof of a building and re the ground. The story sounds-a' but, after all, who can im tal condition of an unwed i after delivering an unwanted~ child - with- out aid in the bathroom of her home? Certainly the young woman was; guilty of serious mistakes in the affair and j there is a point in the comment of Miss Lillian Rock, associated counsel for the de- fense, who declared that the conviction “‘is an example of what is to be expected of a jury of men trying a girl in a_ case like | this.” Since writing the above comment on} this case we read that the girl in question was released on parole by the judge who tried the case. In response to pleas for clemency from her attorneys and with the acquiescence of the prosecuting attorney he extended mercy to the unfortunate young woman. So it seems, after all, that Miss Rock’s comment about men was ill- founded. It is worth pointing out that the prosecutor explained he had no desire to punish the girl any further but that some action had been necessary because, just | after her act, there had been several simi- lar occurrences in the same neighborhood. | the depression came and was actually WHY HE WENT CRAZY This story, with various modifica- tions, has been doing duty for a good while, but for the benefit of those who have not chanced to run across it we tell it again. It concerns an inmate of a_ lunatic asylum, who on being asked by a visitor how he got that way, replied: “It all started when I married a wi- dow with a grown-up daughter. Then my father, being a widower, married the daughter. That made my step-daughter my step-mother, and my father became my step-son; my wife also becoming the mother-in-law of her father-in-law. “Then my step-mother had a son, who was my brother, being my father’s son; but as the boy was the grandson of my wife, he was also my grandson. “Then my wife and I had a son. My j; father’s wife is my son’s half-sister, aad also his grandmother. Now, it is easy to} definitely | see that my father became my step-son by {Sun rises marrying my step-daughter. Therefore, being my father’s father, 1 am also my own grandfather.” The visitor stopped the lunatic at this point, thoroughly satisfied as to why he went crazy. “WHAT'S IN A NAME” (The Pompano Sun) A Chicago lawyer named Rogers made “plication for registration of thé. words Brand” Regi ap- “Limestone as a trademark for a cathartic medicine. ration was denied on the ground that the medicine contained limestone. Mt. Rogers as- sured the government that it contained no lime- stone, Then the application was again denied be- cause such a trademark was deceptive, which stir- red Mr, following withering bits of sarcasm: “Ivory is a good trademark for soap not made of ivory. Gold Dust Washing Powder is not made of gold, Old Crow whiskey is not distilled from crows. There is no bull in Bull Durham. Royal Baking Powder is not used exclusively by royalty, nor is Cream Baking Powder made of cream. Pearline contains no pearls and White Rock is water. « “There is no cream in cream of Bitar’ in cold cream or in chocolate creams; no milk_ in milk of magnesia, milk weed’or "in- the cocoanut. These are all as remote fromthe | cow as the cowslip.

Applebutter is not butter. All the butter is taken out of but- termilk and there is none in buttercups, or in butternuts, and the flies in the dairy are not butterflies.” And as a finishing touch, he pointed out that the most diligent and exhaustive researches had Rogers to write a brief containing the | failed to find any trace of pork in pig iron. ke | years, but little is said of what is You and Your Nation’s Affairs Where Do We Go from Here?” By GUS W.

Much is said of the huge public debt that has been put upon taxpayers in the last three In 1933, the new policy was adopted. In substance this policy was that the government must raise a huge fund of many billions by means of mort- gages placed on the p! and in- come of the masses of the people, and use this fund to spend our way out of the depression. In distributing this fund we have given away billions in charity, and spent other billions in non-productive enterpri The re- sult is that the public debt has in- creased from less than $17,000,000,000 involved in the new policy that is| in 1931 to over $34,000,000,000 in 1936, responsible for this debt.

The public | never more speculative than they are debt was $1,159,000,000 in 1903 when | today. Under the present policy it reduced to $1,132,000,000 in 1905. From 1903 to 1915, the public debt was never as much as $1,200,000,000. In all of the serious depressions of the past, all of the phenomena that result from depressions were present —heavy losses in business, reduced production, low prices, unemploy- ment. But no heavy tax burden was put on the people, and strange to say nobody starved, and no group looked to the Federal Government to take care of them nor to provide jobs for them. The first time in our history that our government resorted to the pol- icy of raising a large fund by mort- gaging taxpayers was in 1916. At the get out of the next depression, the next and the next. If we hold on | to this policy and continue on the { road we are traveling, how long will | it take to bankrupt the government, bankrupt the people who have made loans to the government, and destroy the foundation of our whole. indus- trial order? It is not the present condition of business that is of relative impor- tance. The question of supreme im- portance to every patriotic American citizen is, “Where do we go from here?” Are we incapable of thinking, or have we lost all interest in the future welfare of our country?
