Uncle Sam is always in for the shortest end of the horn, but that’s whab-he gets for being a big brother, but our edusins across the sea want ever so much méré. Some day the elongated bewhiskered gentleman will find himself short of cash and-then where will he get it?

At-one time’and another, The Citi | has’ diseussed at some length ‘the in- adequacy of facilities in Florida for the examination and. incarceration of the men- tally diseased. _. Perhaps it has been discussed to-the point of boredom, but the shooting yester- day'of Hugene Edwards, a negro, is another ‘example of what ¢an happen under the present system of ‘waiting until a period- ically insane man actually kills, or at- tempts to kill someone. Officers here knew that Edwards was dangerous under‘ certain conditions, He had attempted to kill a man before, and when, after a period of normal behavior, he threw a bottle at a woman yesterday, the comment of the officers was simply: “Old Chucker’s gone haywire again. Let’s go round him up.” When he finally was “rounded up” second’s hesitation on his part that kept Constable Perez from being the one who eaught the bullet. tion, is that: Edwards was far from being the only one.of his kind in Key West. without any -particular cause; sometimes they’re normal until they take a drink. In any case, officers here know of a number of men who, at times, are dan- gerous, Ordinarily, the crimes they commit in their “bad spells” are trivial—open use | of profane language, assault, assault with | a deadly weapon, or whatever they happen to be doing at the time the neighbors call they are quickly freed, and actually it seems unjust at the time to *keep them locked up when they have returned to nor- mal and don’t remember what it was all about. ‘The problem is one for doctors—not policemen. And until there is some provi- sion for taking care of men who go tem- porarily insane, there will be more cases like yesterday’s. OUR CHURCHES GROW It is interesting to report that a large percentage of the population of the United States maintains membership in the 50 reli- gious bodies of this country. Figures for 1940 show that forty-nine per cent of the people in this country are members. of some religious body. The record shows that there has been a gain in membership and what is more significant, a slight increase in the percentage of the population which belongs to organized churches. The Yearbook of American Churches, idsued under the auspices of the Federal Counvil of Churches of Christ in Ameriea, which was recently published, reveals some interesting facts.about the religious life of our people. In 1940, there were 64,- 501,594 church members in the country, attending 44,319 churches. The total of 250 religious bodies exceeds any previous figure recorded. Leadership in membership for a single sect goes to the Roman Catholic Church, with 21,284,455 members. The Protestant bodies, as a group, however, have an en- rollment of 36,103,984 members. The Jewish church is credited with 4,641,184 members. First among the Protestant bodies is the Methodist Church, with 7,377,487, fol- lowed by the Northern and Southern Bap- tist Churches, with an enrollment of 4,- 949,174. Dr. Benson Y. Landis, editor of The Yearbook, estimates that nearly $600,000,- 000 was contributed to the churches of the country in 1940. The largest beneficiary, according to his estimate, was the Meth- odist Church, which received $48,601,995. Other leaders were the Presbyterian Church, $42,062,598; the Southern Baptist Convention, . $37,186,531; and the Pro- testant Episcopal Church, $82,451,076. “CENTER OF WORLD POLITICS” From Batavia, in the Netherlands East Indies, comes word that Washington has | been considered as the seat of the Nether- lands Government-in-Exile. The reasons advanced for the idea are interesting: that Washington is the center of world politics, that its importance will grow and that the fate of the Indies depends upon decisions made in Washington as to defense provisions. + esa A the sheriff.
