But it is usually lightweight stuff and not very serious It is no crime to take or give a drink in a private home A great deal of the alleged drinking however is vocal People love to brag about booze Much of it is fol-de-rol But much of it is also the honest-to-goodness stuff A GROWTN COUNTRY DRAZIL is able to manipulate and predict populations just as well as the boosterism of the United States At the present rate of increase Brazil expects a population of 240000000 by 1990 spread over a territory larger than this land of the Yankee Based on the last two censuses the 1930 population will total 42-000000 and within 30 years it will equal that of the United States today These figures are of interest to Miami and reveal the tremendous opportunities that are beckoning to us in Latin America This city expects to become one of the principal clearing houses between these two continents each with populations of hundreds of millions of people Brazil demands respect today The Institute for Commercial Expansion in Brazil cites the figures showing it has 220 dailies ranking sixth in the world It is among the leaders in the production of cocoa maize cattle swine horses It is growing rapidly industrially It has 23000 schools The United States does not fully appreciate the size and development of South America But it is beginning to understand and in seeking to promote the relationships Miami has the chance of being established as the center for the intercontinental exchange of commodities and news and as the hub for commerce and Committee Makes Arrangements To Start

Reeder gcneial (hatinian is cooperating with the Red Cl oss Permanent Disaster Committee An organization of minute men known as the Pioneer Squad will be would seem in the way establishment of a United States of Europe or even a confederation of the various countries on that continent will be to eliminate the age-old prejudices and hates which have existed among the various nationalities almost since the beginning of their histories A gifted cartoonist has pictured the situation as it is seen from this country very well in a recent Northern paper Through a window may be seen some of the leaders of the movement for a confederation grouped together trying to get the note by which a song of harmony may be sung Outside of the window however Is a blatant band playing all sorts of instruments labeled the band evidently drowning out the faint notes that come from inside the pictured house In discussing the possibilities of forming a permanent and useful confederation of European states it is often pointed out that the 13 colonies which finally united and formed the American union found but little difficulty in arriving at an understanding They surrendered some of their original rights to a federated government and the success of that experiment has been pointed out as a clear example of what Europe may be able to accomplish by following in a degree the actions of the fathers who established this republic But while there were many differences to settle before the present constitution of this country was finally adopted the people composing the colonies had never fought each other What conflicts they had were merely academical and oratorical They did not resort to arms to establish any claim that they might have had one with the other They spoke one language They adopted a uniform currency they broke down all tariff barriers between the states They gave the citizens of one state sojourning in another state all the rights privileges and immunities he enjoyed in his own state But in Europe the various nations have intermittently fought with each other for more than a thousand years Not a single country on the continent that has not been harried scarred and devastated by some other country There are innumerable major and groups" whose language is different each from the other whose traditions are dissimilar whose methods of education are not like those of the others whose prejudices hates and suspicions of outsiders have been cultivated for generations This seems to be? the problem tfor those statesmen who hav- ing learned a lesson from the great war now seek to make permanent peace in Europe by form ing a confederation that will permit the various nationalities to retain their forms of local govern ment while sweeping away the economic barriers that now keep them so far apart The world will wish the move ment well at the same time it will recognize the almost insur mountable difficulties that lie in the way of an even reasonably perfect union among the continental countries SUPPRESS THE MASHERS "'OMPLAINTS are being received 'J concerning the actions of certain men who hang around the Bayfront park Ladies who desire to enjoy a few hours or minutes in the park are being accosted by a type of man who does not hesitate to impose his attentions upon women who are alone for the time being These mashers and reports of their conduct are becoming altogether too frequent should be dealt with at once The park is for the enjoyment of respectable people and they should not be forced to accept the attentions of strangers and women especially should not be subjected to Insult One or two of our efficient police officers stationed for a time at the park would soon put an end to an annoyance that is fast becoming unbearable to women and girls who visit the park A few arrests and a few days of imprisonment for offenders would break up the obnoxious practice indulged in by certain would-be mashers FOL-DE-ROL JAY HOUSE Philadelphia newspaper columnist lacks the courage of his convictions He has backed down He has lifted the banners of his old home state the dry Kansas from the wet muck in which he had flung them So our faith in newspaper columnists is weakened They are not men of their words In a letter to Rev A McClellan superintendent of the Kansas Anti-Saloon League House alleged that he had been served liquor in 13 homes where he was entertained in Topeka last winter and that four drinking parties to the block were maintained nightly This of course aroused prohibition Kansas Gov Clyde By EDGAR A Gl'EST Falln re UP here In the North the spring came late And my gardener tells me he had to wait Until middle June ere he hoed the weeds And made the bed for my zinnia seeds It is later now and along the wall Is a row of zinnias thin and small Struggling to master a bloomless fate But it's ail in vain They began too late The frosts will come In a week or two And nip the buds which are breaking through And these thin frail plants will meet their doom For their day has passed and never bloom There are men and women whose common fate Seems never to bloom though the urge is great In a world of glory their lives are cast But chance held them back till their day had passed (Copyright 1929 by Edgar A Guest) By IIOWE r-pHIS Aristotle you hear so much J- about did not have much respect lor ordinary people He said that a liberal education Is not lor workers or lor business men It is not lor workers because they can't take it since labor debases the body and it is not lor business men because trade debases the mind That may have been good sense in Aristotle's time but it now- A liberal education is 1 or anyone who takes the pains to acquire it and make such use ol it as his natural equipment will permit Aristotle was a student philosopher cad I have seen it charged against him that he set back the world many centuries his lollowers Insisted on his mistakes and delayed much learning ol real value IN considering his rights everyone places lirst a lot to eat Then in presence ol lood he eats too much to Insure that he is getting his God-given rights Frequently he recalls the hordes ol oppression determined the newspapers have warned to starve him and stulls a lot ol surplus lood In his stomach as a storehouse as barbarians are said to have done thus

to your own allairs Being a good party lodge or churchman is secondary to being a good citizen good husband father and neighbor Help your own household first then your neighborhood your country and the world A little man going about saying in a voice no one hears that he is saving the world is ol little consequence compared with the larger-sized man who is a force in his own community and helps it and himself Cruel stories which apply to only a lew are told on all the people Everyone locks his doors at night because a lew are known to be thieves There should be a law against girls flirting with married men And girls do it every time they appear barelegged in public There never was a married man so noble he could resist flirting This Is his main weakness and the law should protect him

TOLL A typhoon in the Philippines is almost as fatal as a holiday in the United States Buffalo Courier-Express By BOB HOLLAND ACK Irom New Tone and glad ot it There may be better places to live than Miami but the City ol Crazy Taxis is not one ol them In all the essentials ol comtort Miami is several long blocks crosswise the city ahead ol the town that has to choose uetween Jimmie Walker and a man named La-Guardla lor mayor a choice that means a mistake no matter how the decision is reached or who is chosen Noise and dirt abound in New Tork and neither is comlortable And the crowds are becoming worse yearly and will continue to be worse because the enormous number ot skyscrapers being erected means more congestion where workers congregate No prophet ol a quarter ol a century ago could have predicted the New Tork ol today and no prophet today can tell what the New Tork a lew decades hence will be Incidentally I learned that I am the worse sailor It seems that there are some individuals who never get seasick and others who always have that experience I am one ol the others On the trip Irom Miami to New Tork three nights and two days I was not seasick but I was on the verge ol that undesirable condition all the time though the ocean was tolerable calm and the steamship behaved as handsomely as any steamship could But It is not comlortable to have your tummy threaten to cut up capers any time when you assume a position that is not horizontal' and in your berth On the trip back we run into a meager and unsatlslactory storm soon alter leaving New Tork Saturday night and I never lelt my stateroom until we were in the harbor ol Charleston Monday morning Some ol the time I was seasick and the rest ol the time I was merely dying Then at times I would be comlortable unless I tried to stand on my lorked end I had no desire lor lood and it would have been a waste ol energy and time to swallow it It would not stay put So I have decided that I will never make another sea voyage to a point that I can reach by train motor car horseback or on loot There is something wrong with me something that prevents my enjoying an ocean ip I might as well accept that lact and I do accept it simply not a seafaring man JENTION of Charleston recalls that spent an enjoyable day there One of the Clyde liners that left New York Saturday stopped at the historic old South Carolina city nearly all day Monday My wife had always wanted to visit the place principally she says because it was built with the gable end to the street and so we stopped there Lawrence Pinckney of the real old Pinckney family who writes insurance when he is not enjoying travel far from home took us in tow and drove around and showed the city or at least such interesting portions of it as could be visited in a few hours We drove over the Cooper river bridge about which Sidelights commented when it was opened a couple of months ago It is an interesting structure and was constructed in a marvelously brief time We spent an hour or two In the Charleston museum the first museum ever organized In America which dates back to 1773 It Is not a large museum of course but it has some interesting exhibits and a collection of sea shells which ought to delight the heart of Charles Torrey Simpson And its collection of colonial furniture while not extensive is admirable and much of St would deserve a place in the famous American wing of the Metropolitan Museum in New York CHARLESTON is really the attractive feature about Charleston The houses in the old part of town with their ends abutting on the sidewalks and with no door in the wall entrance being effected by a door leading onto an enclosed porch Mr Lawrence explained that the prevailing winds in the summer in Charleston are from the south or west or the southwest and so porches are always built on the south or west sides of the houses A wall on the street gives the desired privacy for the residents who spend much of their time on the porches We saw one of the famous gates of Charleston which has numerous gates of wrought iron that show skilled workmanship The gate in question is known as the sword gate and it combines In its design swords and spears And there are many doorways as fine as any Massachusetts town can boast Under the Charleston ordinances windows that overlook a neighbor's homo and are close to the dividing line must have shutters of the jalousie pattern and if the owner does not furnish them the neighbor is privileged to have them put on the house at his own expense Through streets in Charleston re marked on "silent at Ahe street intersections with the word This means to the knowing motorist that he must stop before crossing such a thoroughfare Merely another proof of the necessity for uniform street markings so that a motorist in a strange city would know what signs mean THINK OF THAT!

the gold reserves by Germany France and other countries Bank may seek to curb these withdrawals But any increase perturbs Great Britain as it may hit trade and industry It may also perturb Wall Street as this might lead to gold shipments from United States and a further tightening of the credit structure in America Perhaps that threat helped to contribute to the market slump yesterday when a billion dollars in quoted values were wiped out Demand for gold and credit expands dangerously There is not enough to go around Hence the higher price for money CHAIRMAN Legge of the new federal farm board says he needs time to build a structure of permanent relief for agriculture But the senate is impatient It is politically minded It believes that a law a resolution an will solve all problems Just press the button GOOD TAX NEWS OWER TAX RATES bring in larger totals in taxes Uncle Sam has proven that by test and intends to profit still further by the lesson The income taxes received by the government since January 1 and up to September 21 total $1900578000 or $233000000 more than had been received for a similar period last year At the present rate the grand total for the year should reach $2500000000 In view of this immense income the treasury will recommend a further reduction in income taxes by the next congress effective March 15 Despite our vast expenditures our huge debt that is being whittled down rapidly and the large appropriations in prospect the federal government is in a position to cut down taxes This reflects not only our prosperity but the efficiency and good busi ness in government If state and local governments could only do likewise Americans would have reason to rejoice In this curtailment of taxes it is probable that the benefits will be extended both to individuals and corporations raising the exemptions and lowering the rates The corporations still pay a large percentage which in turn is borne by the individual investors and the public When they are relieved of burdens it aids all business booms incomes and thus adds to the totals of taxes America seems to be doing very nicely NOT PUNISHMENT TAISCUSSION of the Baumes laws in New York and similar laws in other states usually make the mistake of assuming that life imprisonment for an habitual criminal is a punishment for crimes committed That is not the theory under which life imprisonment is the sentence for a crime that has heretofore brought but a short sentence in a prison The Baumes laws proceed on the belief that the habitual criminal cannot be reformed and that as a matter of protection to the public he must be sequestered and must be kept where he cannot carry on his criminal' practices The matter of punishment does not enter into it for it is assumed that previous punishments have failed to effect a reform and so punishment is futile The difficulty is in determining just when a criminal becomes habitual just when the individual is dangerous and must not be allowed at liberty The Baumes laws put the limit at four convictions for felonies and for the present this would seem to be fair One thing these laws do that is an advantage to the public is in curbing the power of parole boards many "members of which seem to think they are not doing their duty unless they are paroling criminals Minnesota has recently been complaining that its parole board has been too lenient and so restrictions are being applied in accordance with rules adopted by a state crime commission but not approved by the legislature The Minneapolis Journal says these restrictions are beneficial and demands that the legislature approve them and make them permanent felon should be eligible to declares The Tribune he has served at least the minimum of his sentence no matter how much he may is hard enough to catch and convict a says The Tribune one Is caught and convicted he should be kept in prison as long as is legally possible as there is always a fair chance that his liberation is going to mean a Other states Florida among them have had similar experiences with parole boards and may profit by watching Minnesota It is absurb to have a parole board often influenced by politics and politicians undo the work of courts and police departments and take from the public the protection that should be accorded the first in the field in the storm aiea Guai will
