Their car was smashed after | being stolen by two juvenile | delinquents on Friday.

Then the two bikes stolen by | the same boys, belonged to their | relative James Hilton Pinder. The bikes were found abandoned traded them in for the stolen | car. The last straw for the Trevors came yesterday. They found that | on their charter boat “Osprey” — bounced. So today they| are but $60 in bad checks.

DEATH MANUEL MARION WHIDDEN The 'Souihernmost Corner By CHARLES DUERKES Try as one may, it is diffcult to avoid politics. Ignore politics, especially during branded a “civic slacker,” ‘‘politi- cal coward,” ‘‘welcher,”’ or what have you, by the professional vote getters. Voice your opinion, stick in your tuppence worth, and you are stick- thar’. The machine boys slyly threaten you with the old “‘axe,’ if know what I mean, cousins, you are still more than somewhat moist be- Lind your shell pink ears. The political. “machine” is a | mighty big hunk of mechanism. It costs a pretty penny to build, takes a heap of wampum to keep it oiled, and the up-keep is no two-bit pro- position. The pretty pennies and wampum, of course, comes from Johnny Q. Citizen’s coin purse. A political machine has to keep functioning, come Hades or high water, or the moolah will cease to flow into the greedy channels goug- ed by patronage, special interests and machine bosses. The machine chaps tho are step- ping out of the political picture have picked their successors. New names and faces, free from em- barrassing capers in public office, men with no record of administra- tive inefficiency, are in the lime- light, backed by the old, establish- ed machines. Through these ambi- tious lads the machine manipula- tors are able to challenge candi- dates who are running without be- nefit of the unholy alliances with “syndicates,” racing tycoons, or other powerful special interests. Charges and countercharges fill the old ozone, the word “Smear” comes into its own, and the chap whose sincere ‘‘special interest” is that of the tax paying public finds himself having a rough battle on his hands. Florida has been blasted in print and on the air, nationally, as a state teeming with corruption. The gdallty officials screamed loudest in protest of the revolting revelations. Most of them seemed to believe it their right to indulge in bribe tak- ing (and giving) and to ignore the oaths they had sworn, the respon- sibilities they had assumed, and the trust their constituents had placed in them. The adverse publicity resulting from the Florida political scandals has severely shaken much of the good work and honest effort set forth in the interest of the state by Progressive business men, cham- bers of commerce and other clean, civie organizations. Just as the most guilty of our elected officials screamed loudest at the revelations of their ineffi- ciencies and crude conduct, so the voters have screamed at the shock- ing actions of the men they elected. But those men were elected by the voters, and by persons who did not vote! Too many voters sell their price- less heritage by tossing their votes in the direction of some cagey character who can, in a pinch squash a traffic ticket, or promise a soft job to one of the voter's shirt tail relatives. an election campaign, and you are | ing out your neck from here to | you know what I mean.
