Half a eentury ago when the New York’ police force num- bered 8,000 (it now exceeds 20,000), the New York Sun editorially pointed d¥it'that if two or three policemen were found guilty of grafting or otherwise violating a law, the city’s press, asa rule, blamed the So it has been with most of the Florida press since the legislature adjourned last Friday—blame has’been placed on the en- tire membership for having dawéfed away the 60-day session without having enacted measures that would have provided for the operation and maintenance of the state for the next two years. In-this case, the majorities in the house and the senate should have been de- nounced, not the entire body, for frequent news came out of Tallahassee of efforts made in both chambers to pass legislation that would have been requisite in provid- ing the state with operational and main- tenance funds. : The attitude of those men was epito- mized by Senator James A. Franklin, whose district ineludes Key West, when he told the presiding officer: “I wish to apologize to the people of Florida for the lack of constructive work during this session.” As Franklin and a few other senators had strived in the senate to have bills pass- ed that would have assured the state suffi- cient revenue for the next two years, so a few members in the house worked hard to have similar measures adopted. But the majority in each house hired its ear to persistent and conniving lobbyist. It was said that at no other sessions had lobbyists so openly worked against meas- ures that would have affected their in- terests or the interests of the firms or in- dividuals they represented. When a special session is called, as it must be called to keep the state financially sound, the lobbyists should be given a warning similar to that given Navy wives in Washington by Defense Secretary Louis Johnson to stop lobbying for the bill that would increase the salaries of the armed personnel. There are people in the world who be- lieve that a cash contribution is all that they are required to do for their com- munity. : MODERN CIVILIZATION / Mr. Winston Chuchill, fermer Prime Minister of Great Britain, has received general recognition , as a student of his- tory and a writer of repute. Recently speaking to a university au- dience, the war leader of the British peo- ple said that “despite anxious, critical and even agonizing moments,” modern civilization is “undoubtedly a higher form of society than ever prevailed in ancient worlds.” This is a conclusion which many moralists, reformers and do-gooders will dispute. In fact, the stock of trade of some human beings seems to ‘involve the ne- eessity of denouncing the present genera- tion, with the implication that, for some strange reason, men and women have suddenly degraded themselves. We have no sympathy with such a} view of the present generation. It is ap- parent, we think, from a study of various civilizations, including habits, customs and civilizations, that the world today is housing a race of people. on the average, which is more intelligent, more healthy and more spiritual than any other genera- tion of the so-called human race. There is no way to tell whether Rus- sia wants war or not; you won’t know un- til you see what the Soviet does in the next few years. YOU CAN DO YOUR PART Every citizen of Key West can make a contribution to democratic government. It is not by abusing Soviet Russia, the Communist Party or Joseph Stalin. It is not by urging a war against the Commun- ist ideology or the Russian people. All that any person here has to do to make a fight on dictatorship, or Com- munism, is to see that democracy works in our own local, state and national govern- ments. When there is a deviation from the ac- cepted principles of democracy in the government of Key West or Monroe Coun- ty, on any other unit of American Govern- ment, it can be scored as a gain for the isms that we say we abhor.
