And an amus- ing thing in that connection is that they | fume and even snarl at times when they learn that anybody eise is aspiring for their How, true, how true! You run across that attitude almost daily even in a small city like Key West. Blessed is that man or woman, hold- ing a public office, who realizes that we live in a democracy and that any member of that democracy has the right to aspire | for any office, the election to which is sub- ject to the will of the people, either di- | rectly or indirectly. Many a time, we have heard public of- ls in Key West and elsewhere denounce a man simply because he has the “effron- to try to get the office this or that lic official holds. How well some Key Westers realize at they have just as much right to hold 2 public office, provided they get a suffi- cient mber of votes, as anybody else, has often been demonstrated by their running very time an election is held in the city r the county. And tpey are not to be blamed for aly: political race. If they can not be cor pe by former defeats that they have fot a chance to win, that is their ! own misfortune, though they do not con- such, for we have heard each of hem remark, after a defeat, “Ill make > grade next time’, which is remindful of what some poet said, “Hope ings eternal in the human breast.” And it is well that there is such a thing s hope to spur us on to renewed endeavors, se we would, indeed, be miserable beings.

There; was a feverish quality in theirs laughter. They seemed to be, waiting for something and were keyed to face it. Julia was sitting by the large circular table in the corner oppo- site the bar behind which Robey stood serving drinks after-Moore had mixed them. He set a glass of champagne with a flourish in front of Virginia Jarvis, a cool, thin heiress who had made her debut four years before and had been popular in cafe society. Lately she had been Frank’s constant companion. She } was perched on one of the. tall red leather covered stools in front colorless in her gray evening gown except for the jade of the bar. She would have been | 34. klace and t “For that it will cost you two dollars a day more in lodge dues,” Ike told him and laughed.

He went on quickly so that his present performance as a jovipl host showed no rift. Turning to Isaac Steinway he offered a tall pink drink that Moore had been shaking up. “Pink Lady for the Blackmailer of Broadway.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION We are glad to note that a Superior Court Judge has ruled that the Chicago Board of Education's practice of releasing pupils from school to attend religious edu- cation classes “is in direct conformity rat er than in opposition to the Constitution’s 3ilfjof Rights.” se we-understand the scheme,students are permitted to attend the churches of their choice for the purpose of reédfying religious instruction. While it ‘may possible that the childten ‘could be given such instruction on Sundays there is no risk in permitting them to have the opportun- ity on weekdays. The effort of some misguided liberals to divorce the government entirely from religious activity seems to be misplaced. The ban is on any tie-up between state and church, not the encouragement of relig living and beliefs. So long as a school board does not attempt to compel students to-go. to particular churches, or to any 2 all’ the idea of state-religion is entirely absent. be The evidence of a little person is the fear of competition.

The excess of Ye- ciprocal aid is largely the result of the very cooperative attitude of Belgium in un- stintingly furnishing from its own limited resources whatever was requested by our armed forces after liberation,” the official joint statement of the two governments Says.
