WE WANT ASSURANCE Ernest F. Coe, director of Everglades National Park, has sent a letter, with copies of other letters, to a Chamber of Commerce committee, comprising William W. Demeritt, Fred O. Eberhardt and Wil- liam M. Arnold, in which he clarifies sev- eral questions pertaining to the boundaries of the proposed park, one of them con- cerning commercial fishing. He eneloses a eopy of a letter on that subject, concerning the only other mari- time park at the time the letter was writ- ten, which is the Arcadia Nationa} Park in | Maine. . There fishermen, the letter says, are permitted to ply their trade, with only state restrictions enforced. The term “fish- @ revenue is to be derived are 5 cents a line.

He was born and bred in Georgia. \\He has never lost touch with the people of Georgia. And lo and behold, under his leadership, Georgia becomes the first of the southern states which now have the poll tax to re- peal it. Do take it that the people of Georgia are “more liberal in their think- ing” than the people of Mississippi, for in- stance ».. or Alabama or South Carolina? Governor Arnall thinks it possible. And yet, the experience of democraey has shown that anywhere, in any state. or in any nation when the people shout loud enough, liberal steps are taken. And when the peeple are apathetic and let their lead- es do the shouting, the clock of progress sms to stand still. The greatest sand out because we names in our history | as leaders, they humbly | considered themselves servants of the peo- | ple. They kept their ears acutely attuned | to what the people were thinking and say- ing. If a democracy is to work, the will of | the people must be done. We the people | are at fault if any one of our elected lead- | ers is allowed to withdraw into the ivory tower of h own convictions. It is our re- citizens of a democracy, to make ourselves heard. There lies the hope i of sound and liberal government. | sponsibil 4 NEGLECTED CHAPTER OF HISTORY !ermen” applies also to spongers, so that, | if the Everglades National Park is operated on a basis the same as the Arcadia Park, then fishermen will be permitted to con- | inue operation in the waters that would | be included in the park. | Of course, that question should be set- in favor of the fishermen tled definitely, | before opposition that has developed here ‘to the park will be withdrawn. As Mr. Coe himself knows, thé waters that come within the outlined boundaries are among the best for commercial purposes along | and an authoritative the chain of keys, statement from a national source should be received as an assurance that the fishing vill be continued after the waters in ques- | tion become a part of the park. The park would be of inestimable value not only to:the Florida Keys but to all Florida also, but it would be unwise, in getting the park, to curtail the source of ithe livelihood of many residents and sev- eral commercial im Monroe County. enterprises Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt will continue her column, “My Day”, but probably under another title. There is a vast difference be- tween the daily doings of the first lady of \ the land and just another “excrescence” as | the late President termed the columnists. | PROBLEM OF EDUCATION, “The problem of American education is not to secure adequate financing,” de- clares Dr. Allan V. Healy, but “to set up a tem of schools good enough to be worth financing.” The New York educator thinks that American education is, “aimless, unorga- nized and purposeless” and adds that while Federal funds are “indispensable” to the soluffon of education’s postwar problems, the gift of such money at the present time | to the states to use as they please will be money thrown away. There will be many persons to agree with the outspoken sentiments quoted above, but a considerable number will de- mur to the indictment of the educational | system. It is no doubt quite true that the s; tem of education now practiced is not per- fect. The same can be said for the at- tempts of the home and the church to pro- duce an improved human race. There are | many factors to be considered in appra ing our institutions which, on the average, | perform about as well as the people de- mand, Hidden away under the mountainous entation of this war are 18,000 pages of testitmony taken in the long, meandering, | inconclusive mass trial of seditionists which ended in Washington when the presiding | judge died. Only about 1,000 pages of the whole vast array of words is actual testimony by witnesses. The rest of the palaver is what the legal fraternity calls “lawyer talk”, wrangling, stalling, objection-raising, mo- tions for this and motions against that. It’s too bad that the facts have got ob- secured by all this tured verbal fog. For there probably was “sedition and treachery” in many of those hearts.

We’ve always been so happy.” é : “But you wo.’t be with him al- ways,” Ned pointed out. “You'll marry and leave him. Then he’d be lonely.” But Kay could not be com- forted.
