THE ORACLE | MONOGRAPH THE BACKWASH »~Max Marks, inspector for the State Hotgt Commission, says he has found some !reoththg houses in Key West that do not pmeasure up to the plane set by the com- tmisaion, and that one in particular should the stopped from operating immediately. it #0 turns out, Mr. Marks explained that this particular rooming house is not jeqagueted by a Key Wester. The inspector jeehteR that he spoke to the tourist who, jwitir‘his wife, is accupying the room, and ‘that his resentment was so pronounced he declared “a ‘he goes back home he advise all h IPFA y to is friends to keep “way from Key West. | “ft told him,” Marks said, “your atti- tude is wrong—don't blame it on Key ‘West. There are many excellent rooms in Key West, and I don't think it’s right for lyvou to denounce the city just because you happened to get a room that is far under the standard.” Pudging from what his inspection has gfly disclosed, Mr. Marks said that vbably the state will order from 30 to 40 rooming houses in Key West to discontinue én operation until required improvements are made. Having been born and reared in Key West, he stated that his sympathy is wholly with the city, and that, with the fxeeption he noted, he maintains that prem), Key Wester should entertain a himflar attitude Key Westers should feel that they should not do anything that will harm the tity asa tourist center. Neither should they rent rooms that are unfit for occu- ome nor charge exorbitant rents. If a urist feels he has been gouged, he will make it a point not to return to Key West. That reaction has happened elsewhere in Florida, and recently, Owners of hotels, apartments and rooming hoya complained of a poor season while tesorts elsewhere in Florida were doing a geod The reason for the ” n Was the backwash of gouging. in at least one case business poor TOM JEFRERSON ‘The National Patent Council of Gary, Bidiana reminds us that Thomas Jefferson Was originally unsympathetic to the idea granting patents. because of the “mon- ovoly”—for a limited period of time— that they gave to individuals. Later, as Secretary of State under Washington, when he became one of the administrators of the U. 8. Patent System, he completely ehanged his mind on the subject. “Certainly,” he wrote, “an inventor qught so be allowed a right to the benefit uf hisGnvention for some certain time. No- hody Wishes more than I do that ingenuity ® vould receive liberal encouragement. pen Se Seti Success accounts for much envy that folks generate. of the Many old sayings sometimes develop flaws but some withstand the test of time. One of the latter is, “Blood is thicker than water,” He is a foolish man or woman who dips into quarrels between brothers and sisters. One Key Wester said that he fool- ishly took sides, several years ago, in a dispute’ between two brothers, and that when they became reconciled, both “jump- ed on” him. A similar result ‘applies to quarrels between husband and wife. Let them settle their own differences, as they, will eventually, without- any .oriticism or. comment from an.outsider. Yesterday a story from Kearney, N. Ji, | was given nationwide publicity about two brothers, Dan and Robert Noble, who had quarreled 20 years ago. They never spoke again, but Robert, who made a sizeable fortune in a soft drink industry, left prac. tically all his fortune, amounting to half a million dollars, to Dan, Robert had never married. He resided in a mansion in Glen Cove, N. Y., while Dan was struggling to make both ends meet. He is a street sweeper in Kearney, and was paid $35 a week until recently, when he was given a $15 raise. Dan refused to explain the reason for the quarrel between him and his brother. Pressed by reporters to tell about the quarrel, he merely said, “It was just a tiff.” He added that, regardless of the windfall, he would continue to sweep streets. It is doubtful if he will continue his job as street sweeper when he comes into possession ef his fortune. It would have been more interesting had he told frankly just what was his reaction when he heard his brother had left his fortune to him. Whatever his feeling might have been, one may be sure he was remorseful in recall- ing the quarrel, because that is one of the results of the truth that “Blood is thicker than water.” Parents of young children should find time to teach them courtesy and good man- ners despite the press of other things. THE FARMER'S STAKE Calling attention to negotiations which will begin in April, President Tru- man has suggested that the United States cooperate with other nations in order that all peoples cain sell each other the products of their agriculture, labor and industry. This, he thinks, will be a sure _ foundation for economic peace. : Secretary of Agriculture Brannan, writing a House which is beginning public question of extending the Reciprocal Trade Agreement, calls attention to the fact that the farmers of this country “nor- mally produce many commodities in greater quantities than are required for use in the United States” and adds that any acceptable farm program must he as- sociated with keeping open the channels of international trade so that our agricul- tural products can be sold abroad. “The American farmer,” declares Sec- retary Brannan, “must not have his prod- usts excluded from foreign markets by excessive tariffs and other barriers, or be discriminated against through preference and other special deals between foreign governments.” e The observations of the Secretary of Agriculture are pertinent and particularly interesting to the farmers of America. The agricultural production of the United States, in tobacco, cotton, wheat and other products, far exceeds the consumption in this country. The excess must be sold in foreign countries or it will create huge sur- pluses to depress prices in this country. Conséquently, any program that enlarges the scope of world trade will help to main- tain markets for our surplus agricultural products. Charles F.
