Chief | Justice Hughes on the Supreme Court, the | inside | FIRING AT PAPY Papy for his efforts to obtain legislation permitting sale of liquor within 300 feet of the San Carlos school will strike most Key | Westers as unjust. Several Florida newspapers have con demned the Papy bill as an effort to ‘chisel \ at” a general state law, and Governor Hol- | land indirectly handed the representative i a rebuke for urging passage of a bill which | would set a bad precedent. The situation arose here because of a peculiar, although generally accepted in- terpretation of the law restricting liquor | sales in the neighborhood of schools. Until | a recent decision of the attorney general’s | 6ffice, it had been understood that the 800-foot limit meant the route which nor- mally would be taken by a person walk- | ing. | | Criticism levelled at Representative | © | Thus the assumption was that a person wishing to go to the Boat Bar from the school would not walk across the street, a distance of about 20 feet, but would, in com- pliance with traffic regulations, walk to the corner, cross the street and walk back, a distance of more than 300 feet. The new interpretation, therefore, serves, not to prevent the opening of liquor stores Inthe neighborhdod"of schools, but | to éliminate three businéssés which have | been assumed to be perfectly legal. In Papy’s defense, too, it might pointed out that few, if any, cities have schools on their main streets, preventing the sale of liquor in the two busiest downtown blocks. } Thirdly, the fact that the tiny school be brings up the question local lawyers are studying of whether the 300-foot law ap- plies. During national prohibition in the United States, foreign consulates were per. mitted to serve liquor on their own grounds, and in the present ease it would appear that other foot, SPREADING A NAVY “TOO THIN” John T.. Whitaker, Chicago News cor- respondent, writing from Portugal, asserts that American naval intervention now would strike a telling blow and “block three major German offensives now bela | developed.” Mr. Whitaker points out that British sea-power is being spread thinner than ever before, “so thin that somewhere, ac- cording to German strategy, it will break.” Says Mr. Whitaker, "You can spread less heroism of the: British navy which, while, it fights the battle of the Atlantic, must also fight battles in Syria, Iraq, Pales- tine, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, France and Spain.” TWO ACTIONS TO THE SHAME OF THE FLORIDA HOUSE (Tampa Daily Times) ‘House, as a body or as individual repre- 0 of a special le Coui rmit the sale of of the House to prohibit the employment of legis- lators at horse tracks. Representative Papy, of Monroe curiously enough, was interested in both. He was particularly active in behalf of the proposed new Key West liquor place and read a telegram from | the head of a Cuban school there, who said that | sales of liquor “do not harm our interests.” The | House then voted 45 to 14 to override the Gover- County, nor’s veto. This chiseling away at the State law does harm | to the public interest in Florida, which is the only | valid point for the Legislature to consider. The employment of legislators at horse tracks is even more dangerous to the public interest. Rep- resentative Shivers, of Washington County, com- mendably proposed to ban it, pointing out that sev- eral legislators—perhaps as many as will accept jobs—are paid $8 a day by the tracks, and if they ion’t vot&@Hight” inthe strsion, wine hot likely to get their track. jobs. back. ia Again it was Representative Papy who asked “Aren't you going a little far afieid to deprive any member of this body of a livelihood? It is reasonable to wonder if the horse track jobholders told the voters before the election that the only way they could make a living was by working with gambling interests, would voters elect that kind of representatives?

I've always insisted that _ this state was the original and only genuine “Fishermer Paradise” and if I couldn’t argue a guy into my way of thinkin’ I'd take him out and PROVE it. The fact is I've bragged much about Florida fishing over the years that folks come to me from up country a “All right, we're < on you and your so good”. That's exactly what happened ast week when Vernon from Suffolk, Virginia, in the office and starts | talkin’ like a guy from Missouri =he’s gotta be shown. » I knew. that most ofthe ‘ound here didn’t even ny water in ‘em, let.alone not, to take any chances and I takes him down to Lake Okeechobee. At Bill John- son’s camp they tell us the fool |fish have just naturally been |tearin’ the lake apart; i been strikin’ like a flock ef de- |fense workers, and BIG ones. So we rents a boat and kicker, hires a guide, and we're off to do battle with the bass. I don’t know about Vernon, but I per- |sonally made one thousand nine sixty-three more or less perfect c harvested a ton and a half of pepper grass, and never got fish ONE. Accordin’ to the guide, the | wind was too high and the water was dirty, but it ought to be-all |right in the morning. Well, bein’ suckers for salve and feverish for | fish, we're up before breakfast {and at it again.-We slung spoons, plugs, bucktails, rubber frogs, |horsehair mice and other assort- ed hardware from hell to break- | fast, whippin’ the lake into a | slitherin’ foam, and our rewand {for all this labor was FOUR— jcount "em—four little bass none of ’em old enough to vote or sprout a whisker. The guide explained that it was too calm and the water was too clear— you really need a little ripple, but it ought to be just right late |in the afternoon. By this time Vernon is focusin’ me out of the corner of his eye and is startin’ to mumble in his beard and my red face ain’t all chargeable to sunburn. { “Hold everything”, says, beatin’ him to the draw. “I got a better idea: we'll go salt water fishin’—it ain’t far to Ft, Myers and the waters around there are so full of fish you can’t cast} without hittin’ one—mackerel, ' trout, redfish, snook, mango snap- per, tarpon, ladyfish, jacks—and they'll hit anything”. Bein’ a patient and tolerant, guy, Vernon lets his faith in hu- | man nature get the better of his good judgment, and acceptin’ my / explanation about our experience | at Okeechobee bein’ “one of those ; things”, we head for Ft. Myers. { I stumbled onto Grover Hack- ; ney who was with the Conserva- | tion Department for years and; knows more about fishin’ than | the guy that wrote the book. He} assured us we'd come to the right | | place and tells us where to go to! get the best boat and guide in| those parts. We made a deal to! go out the next mornin’ and sat} round the fish camp all that | evenin’ listenin’ to stories about Florida fish and what they do} until we were fairly pop-eyed. | e the fish will be row?” TI asked. | he says, “why they} run as consistently as Jerry Car-} ter”. we fellow I ne guide was a repuies | the boat was a honey, andi was perfect.

The guide explained that there were days like that, He said he'd seen it when you'd go all day and not catch a fish and then along about sundown it would get WORSE. It sure did. Sometime I'm goin’ fishin’ when it's not too hot or too cold, too rough or too calm, when the water isn't too dirty or too clear, when the tide is right and the moon is right and everything is RIGHT, And if I don’t catch fish I’m goin’ out and lynch myself, and then.
