Being an optimist we believe the world is getting better every day, but with all this wild life after the day is over, we are not so sure about the nights. : A world able to spend a billion and a half dollars on new battleships ought to be able to spend some money in the inter- ests of establishing international good will. it won't be long now before people with fine vegetables growing in their gar- den will have a lot of lazy loafers stopping at the fence to tell them how everything is looking. splendidly Cone closes Key West.

They have been issuing building permits at the rate of about one a day.—Sanford Herald. We've been on a long vacation; now we have to go to work again. Gee whiz! There is more rejoicing over the pay- ment of a little debt long past due and al- mest forgotten than over the liquidation of a large debt promptly paid. The Citi: wen bad this experience this week andj there was great rejoicing in th accountin- department, so much so that it would have killed the fatted calf had the.e been one. Instead we annihilated the purple cow. Tampico, Mexico, is called the An- wler's Paradise, and many others besides | Key West are called the Fisherman's Para- | dise. To angle or to fish is doing the same thing, but there may be a distinction with- out a difference, in that the angler has to doe considerabie waiting to capture his; prey, while the fisherman simply throws out his line and hauls ’em in, like we do; in Key West. Rhode Island got about $1,250,000 from horse racing and that’s about what; the state of Florida netted. If the little Rhode Island hen picked up that much, the big Florida rooster is entitled to more.

It is safe to assume that the New York newspapers, despite the interest in a! nomy, will find nothing objectionable in | this appropriation, The Citizen may have some doubts as to the value which the average citizen of the nation will receive from the appropria- | tion but let’s resolve them in favor of the proposal and hope that the New York fair will be a great success, of wide benefit to millions of visitors as well as somewhat profitable to its sponsor and to the busi- ness mén of New York. : z We wonder, however, whether the House of Representatives would readily appropriate as much as $10,000 for Fed- eral exhibitions in five hundred of the lead- ing local fairs of the United States. We warrant that the people of the nation would receive greater information about their government and more benefit through such an appropriation than from the $5,-' 000,000 to be expended in connection with | the giant exposition of the metropolis, \ We can hardly imagine that “| H metropolitan press would forget its ad- vocacy of economy and a balanced budget long enough to approve of such an effort to bring the Government into closer con- tact with many of its citizens who will not be able to see the exhibition in New York. A GREAT CARDINAL James Cardinal Gibbons, the greatest prelate America has given to the Roman} Catholic church, was born in Baltimore on July 23, 1834. He was also a great citi- zen, who found time for many useful civic } activities in addition to his ecclesiastical duties. P Cardinal Gibbons showed high ability as an organizer and executive, and ren- dered valuable services as a mediator in in- dustrial disputes. He was one of the kindest and most unpretentious of men, and his manner of living was of the sim- { plest. | He was ordained priest in 1861, be- came bishop in 1868, archbishop in 1877, cardinal in 1886, and bore the title of | “primate of the United States’ in his church. He presided over the third Amer- ican plenary council in 1884, and preached the formal sermon at the great Eucharistic congress in London in 1908. i He was the author of several works, ; among which “The Faith of Our Fathers,” | published in 1871, became especially pop- | ular and was widely read by Protestants as well as Catholics. It has been said of Cardinal Gibbons | that his life was one of continuous sacri- | fice and unremitting toil. His death in} 1921 was mourned throughout the civil- | ized world by persons of every creed. , } 77 gt | GAMALIEL’S ADVICE ! American citizens delight in boasting of their liberty and freedom and, times, apparently, undertake something | some- | just to show how free they really are. | It is interesting, once in a while, to} learn how affairs are managed in other | lands. For example, Edgar Kelmer, wr -| ing in The Baltimore Evening Sun, tells of \ visiting libraries in Germany and Russia. ! He reports easy access into well-stocked | shelf-rooms where thousands of volumes | repose but tells us that it is practically im- | possible for a native in these countries. to | get any book to read except those ap- proved by the authorities, } The point made by Mr. Kemler is | that much of the Nazi and Communistic ! philosophies would collapse if the people } were allowed to read the books which con- tain intelligent criticisms of the respective | regimes. | The story of Gamaliel, the Pharisee and doctor of the law, comes to mind every | time we read of such restrictive efforts on | the part of constituted authorities any-! where. His advice, given many years ago, | reads, “For if this counsel or this work be of man, it will come to naught; but if it be | of God, ye cannot overthrow it.” This is! good doctrine in 1937. It carries a lesson | which the self-righteous might learn with | profit in the midst of modern perplexities. { | approval before the necessary thirty- }in a circle view to completing ratification. But in spite of all only fourteen additional states iecetoeee i year. Early in January of 1937, the Pres- ident wrote a jal letter to the governors of states, urging tions to their legislatures in relation to the subject, What has been the result? Only four states, Nevada, New Mexico, Kansas, and Kentucky, have been added to the list of ratifiers. On the other hand, seven states hat again rejected the amendment. These are: Texas, North Carolina, South Dakota, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Nebraska. the failure of this North Carolina, are in South, a region which has been par- ticularly hostile to the idea of child Jabor regulation. Only one state in the group, Arkansas, has ratified the amendment. There is little possibility that any of these states will fall in line. Inasmuch as twenty-eight states have ratified the amendment, while seven have rejected it, there are only thirteen possible states left. Since only five of these are outside of the South, it is clear that at least three of the Southern states must give their explanation is that when were unwilling to give their ap) ndment. child !abor? Such is not the case, six states could be secured. There is little chance of getting the five states outside of the South to ratify, and there is even less chance of getting three states in the South to give their! strate in my next article.
