SSOCIA ARE WE AT WAR te. Charles C. Tansill, Professor of Watery at Georgetown University, is eredited with saying that “we are at war etth Russia right now” and that “it is now » battle of books and ideas but it may extend te other fields of conflict.” The teacher of history is credited with saving that it was the American idea t beat Germany to a pulp and that, as a eewalt. there is ne power in Europe capable of balancing that of Russia. This ie the same argument that the tete Adolf Hitler used in his propaganda, chestg acd separate the British and Americans from the Russians during the war. B ie a type of defeatist philosophy, oomeelling compromise with an admitted ool! & order to strengthen one’s position for © pomsible contest that might develop oy the future. We think that the United States, if it wt the polley of crushing Germany, de- eomeme the thanks of civilization. Regard- tom of whether it becomes necessary to Seht Reese. or not, the complete defeat ofthe Manis was necessary for the proper development of civilization. It has been eeeompliched and will be an asset to the world enles: the people of the United ates and Great Britain become unwilling & wey the price of reaping the harvest thet their fighting men produced. & fer ae Russia is concerned, there & @e seme whatever in the suggestion that we are “at war", although there is a pos- obiiity of a conflict at some future date. hh might be just as well dor the people of thie country to have some faith in their eee power in order not to be enticed into eebreciog some evil for the sake of bolst- ering their morale There is no time like the pleasant.

Considering that Floridians are taxed ; for everything, except air and sunshine, we were inclined to look upon the gover- | nor’s declaration as something of a sock- | dologer. | We read an article in Life, three weeks ago, written by a now prominent English author. He told how he had strug- gled in his formative years as a writer to attain recognition, and added that now it had come it meant little to him because the British government was getting nearly all of his earnings. Of course, not even Floridians are taxed as heavily as the British, yet the taxes we are paying are making us hunch- backs, so great is the load. Realty is as- sessed at 100 percent of its value; Talla- hassee takes one-third of the amount we pay for every gallon of gasoline, and one- fifth of what we pay for cigarettes. The State Beverage Department is recurréntly bleating about the vast amount of revenue it gets from taxes on liquor, a matter with which we have no quarrel, and taxes from other things continue to pour into the state’s treasury in a never-ending stream. The fact is, Tallahassee has so much money in the treasury, nobody there seems to know just what the amount is. Comp- troller James M. Lee, when he was a can- didate for renomination to succeed him- self spoke of it as $100,000,000, ‘and a month or so ago he said that there was $53,000,000 in this fund and so much in | another fund, and so on and so on. Other Tallahassee officials have | given varying amounts, one of them plac- ing the sum at $80,000,000. Tallahassee is like that well-known rich uncle, it has so much surplus cash it really doesn’t know how much it is. “Reactionaries’, indeed! Burden bearers, ‘trudging in the desert, with not | an oasis in sight, is an apter term to apply | to the tax-weary people of Florida. | Poets are born, not paid.

An article in The Citizen last Monday about the proposed .Pan-American high- way stated that Merida, the chief city of southeastern Mexico, is the port into which ferry service from Cuba will move. This is not correct for Merida is an inland city, and the port for that area is Progreso. AN EXPENSIVE WAY | With the introduction of the Wagner- Murray-Dingell compulsory health insur- ance bill, the old struggle of socialism versus private enterprise is back again. It doesn’t matter whether it is fish and chips, electricity, pills, or cigars, the socialist wants a government label instead of the trade-mark of private enterprise. Dr. R. L. Sensenich, testifying before theeSenate Education and Labor Commit- tee, said the bill which is designed to bene- fit those too poor to pay for medical serv- ice, is by no means cheap. In commenting | on the estimate of Arthur J. Altmeyer, | Chairman of the Social Security Board, that the cost would be about $27 a person | a year, Dr. Sensenich figured that in a | family of three, three times $27 would be no small contribution. He also made the point that even a system of compulsory health insurance will not bring medical service to those who are negligent of their health, and claimed that many of those who are not treated for ills today are among that group. The American Medical Assoeiation advocates a national program to improve the general health of the nation. Dr. Sen- senich contends this could be accomplished | by a voluntary plan or plans which would provide facilities for the care of the sick, with local government contributing neces- sary funds or faeilities in especially poor areas. “The entire pfblic should not be Tegimented into a plan to care for a rela- tively much smaller group,” he said. y OES | mour, is the most conspicuous,” ' for assault, which was given by | walks of life.

They pull down the piles and palisades; they hew down the barriers with axes. — His’ high black plume floats abroad over the throng, like a raven over the field of the slain—They have made a breach in the barriers— they rush in—they are thrust back!—God of Jacob! it is the meeting of two fierce tides—the conflict. of two oceans moved by adverse winds!” “The assailants have won the barriers, have they not?” said Ivanhoe. é “They have—they have!” ex- claimed Rebecca—“and they press the besieged hard upon the outer wall; some plant ladders, sore swarm like bees, and endeavour fto ascend upon the shoulders. of each other—down go stones, beams, and trunks of trees upon their heads, and as fast as they bear the wounded to the rear, fresh men supply their places in the assault.—The ladders are threwn down,” cried Rebecca, shuddering; “the soldiers lie grov- elling under them like crushed reptiles—The besieged have the better.” “Saint George strike for us!” exclaimed the knight; “do the false yoemen give way?” “No!” exclaimed Rebecca, “they bear themselves right yeomanly —the Black Knight approaches the postern with his huge axe— the thundering blows which he deals, you may hear above all the battle —Stones and Bea are hailed — on the bold champion—he ards them no more than if ieee we ers!” L ere thistledown or feath- “RY Saint John of Acre,” aa Ivamhoe, raising himself joy- fully on his couch, smethousht there were but one man in*Eng- land that'might do such a deed!” oe j srtivides gate shakes,” con- tinued Rebecca, “it crashes—it is | splintered by his blows—they rush | in—the outwork is won— Oh, ; God! —they hurl the defenders from the battlements—they throw.| them into the -moat—O men, if ye be men, spare them that can resist no longer!” “The bridge—the bridge which communicates with the castle— have they won that pass?” ex- claimed Ivanhoe. “No,” Teohied Rebecca, “the Templar has destroyed the plank on which they crossed—few of the defenders escaped with him into the castle. | “What do they now, maiden?” | said Ivanhoe; “look forth yet again—this is no time to faint at bloodshed.” | “Tt is over for the time,” an- | swered Rebecca; “our friends | strengthen themselves within the outwork which they have mas- tered, and it affords them so good a shelter from the foeman’s shot, | that the garrisor. only bestow a few bolts on it from interval to; interval, as if rather to disquiet than effectually to injure them.” “Rebecca,” said Ivanhoe, thou hast painted a hero; surely they rest but to refresh their force, or | to provide the means of crossing | the moat—Under such a leader as thou hast spoken this Enight to be, there are no craven fears, no cold-blooded delays, no yielding up a gallant emprise; since difficulties which render it ardu- ous render it also glorious.
