There was a time when property own- ers paid their taxes with pride, now many dodge them with pride or at least with lit- tle shame. Since there is chaos and insanity in Europe, is there any reason why we should become crazy, too? Not if we retain our reason, and go about what is our business ; and what concerns us only, Fifth U.

Tallahassee Democrat thinks “David Elmer--Ward will be the freshman of the Senate, and may prove to be the boy won- der of the session.” Senator Ward was the “Boy Judge” at Fort Myers and has a distinguished record.—Tampa Tribune.

The legislature may up- set alfplans for the future and there is not muchptime to waste in guessing about the. matté®i—Perry News. “And while the lamp. holds out to burn, the vilest sinner may return.” Last session of the Senate passed the Neely bill at the insistence of the National Con of Parents and Teachers, the Motion Picture Research Council and other consumer groups, but no companiva bill was taken up in the House. Block-book- ing and blind selling, which the Neely bill seeks to outlaw, is the practice motion pic- ture distributors follow in requiring theaters to take bad pictures along with the good, all in a mass to the exclusion of other theaters not in the combine. Before his departure from Warm Springs-where he had been vaeationing, President Roosevelt promised the folks of that place he would return in the Fall “un- less there is a war.” When he left Key West on his recent visit here, he expressed the same fear that he might have to cut short his trip to the Caribbean on account of the European situation. Our inter- natignally-mipded President should calm himself. Even if there is a war in Europe we need not be dragged into the maelstrom unless the warmongers create the pay- chology that will eventuate into realize- tion, FORCE ALONE WILL STOP HITLER | When Hitler came to power in Ger- | Many, the Saar basin was the focus of pos- | sible internatiognal trouble.

Then he said: “Germany wants only | peace. She does not want to add to the sorrows of other nations.’ Shortly afterward he pushed the Sudeten question to the fore and pursued | it until September, 1938, when at Berch- expanding his demands and when the powers forced the Czechs to yield, assured the British Premier that this was “the end About a year later he threatened the | :| almost-captive Schusschnigg to capitulate, tesgaden he amazed Mr. Chamberlain by | of Germany’s territorial claims in Europe.” | Less than six months later he took ad- | ventage of defenseless Czechs and an- nexed their entire nation, although its ter- ritory was supposed to have been “guar- anteed” as a result of the cession of the Sudetenland. Last week he advanced again and ac- quired Memel.

A VERDICT AGAINST A UNION A Federal District Court jury, in Phil- adelphia, recently returned a verdict of $237,310.85 against a branch of the C.LO.’s American Federation of Hosiery Workers as an outgrowth of a seven-weeks sit-down strike in a hosiery plant there in "1987.

HOW TO LIVE LONG : Readers of The Citizen who find life interesting and wish to live a long time Dr. Malcolm MacEachern, of Chicago, The Chicago surgeon says that every- body should work eight hours, play eight hours and sleep eight in every twenty- four. Moreover, people eat. too much, worry too much and overlook teeth, tonsil and appendix infection. The doctor urges a balanced diet. He would end worry, which retards the func- tions of vital organs.
