The Citizen is not among those who like to declaim about the inconveniences of political campaigns because we know ; of no substitute for them in a democratic ‘country. We do look forward to the day, however, when a campaign for office, high or low, can be waged on an improved plane and when voters will be more intelli- gent and less likely to become the victims of emotion. Politics and political events are not the only interest of citizens and the pass- ing of an election does not mark the end of epoch. After the voting and celebra- tion we face the same problems that con- front good citizens everywhere and we should tackle them with courage and hope. Let’s forget the scars, if there.are any, and intelligently march to.a greater future as individuals of a great nation: SIDELIGHTS | By MARCY B. DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen A correspondent of the Chicago Tri- bune contends that Sarah Bernhardt was born in Rochester, Iowa, and that her real name was Sarah King. The encyclopedias, however, say she was born in Paris, France, but disagree as to some details of her early life, and even as to the date of her birth, which was 1844 or 1845. One book says both her parents were Jewish; another that her mother was Jewish and her father a Catholic, and that her real name was Rosine Bernard. Undisputed facts are that she was the greatest actress of her time; that she lost a leg by amputa- tion in 1914, but continued to act almost continuously until her death in 1923. High-toned funerals in Buenos Aires rival in expense some of those heretofore accorded American gangsters. One un- dertaker’s bill in the Argentine city in- cluded these items: 17 aged women to faint upon viewing the corpse, $225; women to weep one hour, $410; mourning handkerchiefs, $90; priest’s fee, $150. The | High total bill was $4,700, but a court deemed | Loy. the cost excessive and the mortician lost a suit brought to collect it. There are enough laws to make traf- fic safe if they were only enforced, ac- cording to a writer who has dug up a number of old ones which have not been repealed, including the following: I Iowa it is against the law to ride.qn,Su day faster than a horse can; walk 2in-De. nessee 10 days’ notice of an‘ gatomett trip is required to be given, thé ndtiees” be posted along the.roads to be traypagac in Lake Forest, Ill., an ordinance provid that a man on a_ bicycle shall precedi each automobile, while a St. Paul ordi- nance requires a motorist to stop and as- | sist the driver of a horse frightened by his machine.

While it is not probable that the deci- sions of this session of the court will be as far-reaching as those of the last two sessions there are some very important matters affect- ing the eco- nomic welfare of the country on which the court will pass. One of these is the second Frazier-Lemke act, granting a three- year moratorium on farm mortgages. In 1935 the Court, by an unanimous vote, declared unconstitutional the first Frazier-Lemke act, which grant- ed the five-year moratorium on farm mortgages. In the lower courts, the second act has been upheld in a few instances, but it has been declared ;invalid in many more cases, There ‘Appears to be little reason for be- ‘Jieving that the second act will be ‘Upheld by the high tribunal. )gn@nother matter which will receive | | under a 1934 amendinént to the'Rail: |) agri. consideration on the part of the es is the Public Bankruptcy law. it ‘the end of the last session of the court, this law was declared uncon- stitutional by a vote of five to four. The majority held that it was a vio- lation of states’ rights for Congress to extend bankruptcy provisions, pre- viously extended only to private in- dividuals and corporations, to politi- cal subdivisions of the states. After the adjournment of the Court, Asso- c te Justice Roberts granted a plea that the decision be suspended, pend- ing a reconsideration this fall. It is improbable that the Court will re- verse itself in this matter. There is a probability that the Court will again be called upon to determine the constitutionality of certain procedures of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Last spring, in the Jones case, the Court ; by a six to three vote held that the commission had acted arbitrarily and €nconstitutionally by prying into the affairs of an individual after he had withdrawn his application for the registration of certain securities. The constitutionality of the securities leg- islation itself was not passed on, and is cot apt to be passed on in the cases now pending. It appears certain that the highest whether the PWA may loan money to municipalities to enable them to construct their own utility. plants in competition with private concerns. possible that a case will come before ality of the TVA. The decision last February did not deal with the ques- tion of the constitutionality of the whole TVA program. It merely up- held the right of the government to construct a dam ostensibly to promote navigation and national defense and to sell electricity produced as-an ‘n- cident to the operation of the dam.

The logical way is to pay monthly, out of income, an installment on the principal and the interest, etc., and-thus, over a given period of years, pay off the entire mortgage and have the house free of all debt.
