PATERNALlsM is RANK SOCIALISM
(Florida Metronolis.l

(Florida Metropolis)
Herbert Hoover never made Il more truthful
statement than one included in the address which
he delivered before the National Association of
Real Estate Boards in Chicago Friday:
Unless we would destroy individual initiative
and drive ourselves straight into naturalization
and paternalism, the government cannot under
take to reduce raise wages, to deal in COM
modities, matter how it is camoufaged."
There forces at work in this country doing
all in their power to Daternaze the government;
various plans, leagues and organizations maintain
headquarters and propaganda departments which
are expending their energies in efforts to make
foster children of the interests they represent,
and it appears they have not labored entirely in
vain, for some members of congress and other
influential officials have been converted to the
paternal idea and are encouraging their efforts.
While only the socialists favor the paternalza-
ton of things generally the principle is in
volved in government control of railroads and
other industries, and those representatives who
are inclined to supervision few things are
the fore-runners of general program of govern
mental direction
To the government is given certain rights; to
the citizen others are reserved, and when one
encroaches on the rights of the other step is
taken toward either paternalIsm or revolution,
both disastrous.
The government has its duties to perform,
likewise the individual and each owes something
to the other; but the line of demarcation is dis
tinct and the schemes to obliterale it are not
prompted by the principles in which this nation
was conceived and upon which it has developed
its present strength.
Paternalism is socialism in it's rankest form,
and to father few industries is to take into the
system of government the germs of socialism.
The safest course is to steer clear of all SEM
dances.

UP TO MIAMI

The city of Miami boasts, not without some
reason. of being the most cultured, liberal and up
to-date city in Florida 1t has just secured city
government which is unique in its personnel But
it is also confronted with problem
That problem is to protect the Rev. Philip s..
Irwin, British subject and Episcopal minister, from
the Miami mob.
1t makes no difference what doctrine with re-
gard to racial relations MIR. Irwin is preaching
He within his rights so long as he violates no
law of Florida. And the moment he violates the
laws of Florida his right 10 fair trial in court
of competent legal jurisdiction arises.
Yet the mob presumes to prescribe what doc
trne he shall preach from the pulpit. Furnishes him
with tar and feathers as well as stripes, when he
breaches what the mob considers heresy, and
threatens to repeat the treatment unless he re-
nounces his pulpit. 1t is square test of legal
supremacy-the mob vs.. the lawn case in
which the victim apparently has the courage of
his convictions. What is Miami's answer2

REVIEWING BOOKS
palm Beach Post.)

1t is generally regarded example of mis-
placed ambition for a country newspaper to
print original reviews of current books. The
Post testify to tfA contrary in at least one
instance, which is gratifying to not only
because it corroborates this papers judgment
in undertaking to run book reviews once week,
but also because it is further testimony to the
alert interest of this community in books. On
Sunday, under the caption, Genial Realst, the
Post reviewed Booth Tarkingtons Alice Adams;
Miss Maude Clarke, librarian, stated last night
that since the review was published she has had
in the neighborhood of fifty requests for the book
attributing the interest almost entirely to the
review printed in these columns. The book is
now in the library.

THE SIMS CHARGES


Nothing but partizan politics is to be discovered

the inside history Of the war--a subject which
there is justihable and as yet utterly unsatished
curiosity-they are as worthless as George Creel

That the country was unprepared is well under
stood That, however, is not a matter of re-
proach. Unpreparedness had been the policy of
the country. and it is to be hoped that no change
in that policy will be inaugurated; since to be
prepared, as Germany was-and anything less

and his assistants took the navy as it was when

WHY NOT A LIBRARY?

Can Lakeland afford 10 go on any longer with
out free public library? That Is question Of
Importance, when the value of such an institution
is considered and the welfare of the rising genera
ton taken into account
This is an age of books and periodicals. All the
thought of the world is collected in type and
placed at the disposal of the public. But books
have followed the upward trend of prices and
have moi yet started down. Magazines have done

Very few people can afford to subscribe for all
the leading periodicals. AT least thirty could be
named. including, of course, the Atlantic without
which the last word in current culture is not
obtainabIc; the North American, which condenses
the political thought of the world each month;
the Century, Harpers, Scnbner's, the Bookman,
and dozen others which are required to keep one
abreast of current literary thought; the New Re
public, which is the exponent of Liberalism; the

rent news and editorial thought the sporting movie
and technical journals and a number of others,
which every person ought at least 10 examine each
month, and without doing which he can not be
classed as well informed
"A book week is certainly low average
for one who wishes to keep abreast of the times,
yet even that is impossible to the person Of mod
crate means.
The free library supplies all this. A few min
utes each day enables enc to see exactly what the
world is doing-to keep abreast of literary, re-
liglous or scientific progress just as he keeps
abreast of the news by reading the daily paper

they cater to novel readers. This is true in
