cheek of the door and the jamb. Her
cold silence was apparently too much

One Difficulty in the Way,

We will have to give the ST. Au-
gustine Record credit for an ingenious
scheme to secure the reapportionment
of the states representation in the
legislature.
Some time ago it proposed that the
members of the legislature who are to
be elected next November, get togeth-
er in formal or an informal session
and pledge each other that they will
not permit the passage of any legisla-
ton. even providing for their own SAL
aries, until a proper apportionment bill
has been passed and become law.
1t points out that no matter to what
agreements members of the legislature
may give their assent, when they get
to Tallahassee there is always so
so much individual log-rolling for To-
cal legislation that nothing can be
done and the appropriation movement
dies because of the necessity of max
ing individual agreements for the
special legislation desired by the
members.
So, the Record thinks, if the mem
bers of the next legislature will get
together and make a solemn pledge
not to move in any legislation what
ever until the apportionment bill is
passed, something may be done.
OF a surety, something oughtsto be
done to relieve the situation. The con-
stitution has been disobeyed by every
legislature that has met on the tenth
year after 1885, and it may be that
every other legislature also has dis
obeyed the plain mandates of the or
ganic act of the state.
There may be a question whether
any legislature that has met on years
other than 1905 and 1915 had the au-
thority to reapportion the state, and
that point has been raised when the
proposition has come up.
To settle that question forever il
would be well to pass the apportion-
ment bill and then leave it up to the
Supreme Court to say whether any
legislature this eide of 1925 can pass
the very much wanted law.
But this legislature boycott, il sue
cessful. could go very much further
1t could secure to the people the sub
mission of a proposition for consti-
tutional convention. It Guild secure
movement looking toward a division
of the state
OF course it has occurred to the
Record that the great difficulty in the
scheme is to get the legislators to con-
sent TO it and stick to it.-Miamj

Press Comment
Patrohize Home COLLEGES.

Ing an editorial under date of July
II the Tampa Tribune launches a
campaign which it is the duty of the
Florida press to vigorously push.
Patronize Home Colleges is a time
ly slogan for the hundreds of Flor
ida high school graduates to heed.
Citing the case of Southern College,
the Tribune points out that when the
institutions of higher learning of Flor
ida make such deserving records as to
receive large gifts from sources out
side the state, our own people should
carry the established principle of
"patronize home industry into the
education of our future citizens We
think no greater argument in favor Of
this point can be made than that
being developed by the million dollar
endowment campaign now being con-
Quoted by our own neighbor, Rollins,
Florida's pioneer college. One prom
inent man started the campaign with
an initial subscription of 100000. An
other northern man has contributed
nearly twice that amount. Winter
Park, a tourist town of less than 1000
population, has raised $4,000, and the
student body of 1926, made up largely
OF students from other states, gave
over $4,000.
When men of affairs from other
states are willing to invest in Florida
education to such an extent, and
young people from older and more
highly developed states want not only
to continue their education here, but
wish to held in charging the oppor-
tunities for Florida boys and girls, is
it not time for us to take advantage of
such opportunities?
Anent the campaign to patronize
Florida colleges recently inaugurated
by the Tampa Tribune, we should
like to point out that in nine cases out
of ten the high school graduate of this
state who attends a college in Florida
gets more out of his course aad at the
same time makes himself more valu-
able as a future citizen than he who
seeks higher education elsewhere.
Florida colleges have been estab-
lished long enough to prove themselves
and they have done so. Rollins, the
oldest of these institutions, has pro-
duced Rex Beach, the novelist; Fanny
Dickens Pinder, the poet: DR.. Ray
mond Alden, the distinguished pro-
fessor and author; Adolphe HempeI,
the scientist; Colonel Morgan L.
Brett, the soldier, and a score of 9TH
ers. The University of Florida and
the Florida State College for Women
are raising the standards of our pub
lie schools by giving them thoroughly
trained teachers. Stetson, with her
highly endowed departments, is ad-
ding to the professional life of the
state and nation; and Southern, in
like measure, is contributing to the
religious life. These institutions are
fulfilling their obligation to the state,
and they deserve the patronage of
every loyal Floridian.-Orlando Re-
porter Star.

THE JEW IN AMERICA.

It is not the nOn-Jew who suspects
cur patriotism. 1t is not the non
Jew that fears for our loyalty. 1t is
the Jew. I sometimes think that this
fear on the part of some OF our Fellow
Jews is confession Of weakness, n
confession of the sense of uncertainty
and instability in this land. 1t gives
me the impression that they merely
regard themselves as welcome guests
and strangers in this land; that they
raust be doubly grateful for favor
given to them.
That is not my Amercanism nor Inc
Americnnism of the Jew who is an
American. We do not look upon cur
prerogative of citizenship as GIT
bestowed upon lis. We have purchased
it with our blood, with our tells, with
cur sacrifices. .ual
When the first white man placed
his foot upon the soil of the Western
Hemisphere. the Jew was there. When
the eyes of the first white man behelo
the shimmering outlines OF the con-
tinent. the jew was there.
When the first men signed that state.
ment which heraldcd the Coming or
the Revolutionary War, tie Jew was
there. And when the Coionists strnS-
eled. with n great powc: TO gain their
own independence the Jew was there
And when America engaged in
bloody and fraticidal war to hherate
millions of slaves, the jew was there.
And when in the last five years Ainer'-
