WtNxtGSZ<W search for
\SeMEE S mythical
Fountain of Perpetual Youth
that led Ponce de Leon, the
Spanish explorer, to land near
the present site of st. Augustine.
His rediscOvery of Florida in
1913 was on Easter Sunday,
hence the name, which is from
Pascua Florida or FlOwery Pass
over, which is the Spanish for
Easter Sunday.
The French we're the next set
tiers, founding a colony on the
st. Johns river. Spain promptly
took action to maintain her own
ership of this region and sent
over an expedition which erected
a fort under the leadership of
Menendez at st. Augustine in
1865 and exterEinated the Huge
not colony. st. Augustine is the
oldest city In the United States.
There followed a period of hos
tility between the English col
Onists in the CarOlinas and the
Spanish in Florida. BY the trea-
ty Of 1868 Spain coded Florida
10 England in exchange for Ha-
vana, which England had cap
tured a few years previous. 1t
remained an English colony un-
ill the last years Of the RevOlu-
tiOn when Spain recaptured it.
There were two provinces,
East and West Florida. AS the
Spanish ruled Florida with a
very loose form of government,
this region became the refuge OF
pirates, smugglers and lawless
characters. Such an element to-
gether with the unruly Seminole
Indians naturally caused a great
deal Of trouble. To overcome
this, President Monroe pur-
chased Florida from Spain in
1919 for S5,000OO0 or about
eleven cents an acre. Ii was
organized into a territory and
in 1915 was admitted to the I'M
ION.
Florida is sometimes called
the Eyerglade State on account
of the vast swamp-land in its
southern part. 1t is also known
as the Peninsula State and Is the
southernmOst State Of the Union.
Its area is 5S.660 square miles.

PHENOMENON

Prices that went up must come
down." said a Racine landlord, an
nouncing the second reduction in
rents on his apartment houses in five
weeks. Il like my tenants and want
to keep them Time alone viii tell
if this chap is merely foolish or if
he has Iong-range vision. 1t was the
merchants who started first to cut
prices and unload high price goods
who suffered least in the slump last
year-the men who saw it coming
while their competitors failed to read
the signs of the times and held on
to get their money out" Sooner
or later the landlords are going to
find themselves in the same position.
There will come day when the de-
mand for houses and flats will all of
sudden disappear. Rents will begin
to go down, and the owner who has
acquired the reputation of treating
his tenants we'll will be sitting pretty
while the lad who boosted to the last
notch and refused to redecorate will
be wondering why all the folks are
moving out and none coming in. The
Racine landlords reasoning is not
given, but one suspects that perhaps
the housing shortage in Racine is
suffering from building boom.
That's about the only prescription for
reducing swollen rents.-State Jour

Those who console themselves
by believing that the anti-Sem-

will be surprised to read the fol-
lowing clipping. The surprise
will come not because these
paragraphs were reproduced
also in Ford's paper, but because
they were actually published at
first by a reputable religious
sheet which pretends to advocate
and develop American public
opinion:
1--WE have received a publica.
ton issued by a committee IF
Jews in New York, the purpose
of which is defensive propagan--
da. If the Jews get in bad repute

they will let us. But America is

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
WORTH STAR.TELEGRAM.

The Jewish Monitor congratu-
lates the Fort Worth Star-Tele-
gram most heartily upon the
completion of its new building
and plant. 1t is no small thing for
an institution like a newspaper
to represent a layout of a mil
lion dollars in any city-to rep
resent such an amount in a city
of 100000 is phenomenal. The
whole Southwest is proud of the
record of the Star Telegram, and
rejoices with it.
To Col. Louis Workman and
Mr.. Anon Garter, we want to ex-
tend our personal congratula-
tons. That these men represent
brains, energy and vision, is
more than obvious. It takes real
men to build an institution like
that paper-and these are real
men, and their paper, is a real
paper. Always fair, honest and
truthful, it gives the news as it
happens. The scholarly and in
teresting editorials are builders
of public opinion, and the clean
ness of the Star-Telegram is
characteristic of the best news
papers on the continent.
The Star-Telegram has always
been a friend of Jews and Jew
ish Monitor.
From the very beginning Of
tbs journal, we have received
the encouragement and the good
will of our contemporary. And
the publishers and the editor Of
the Jewish Monitor have appre-
ciated their interest, and they
take this opportunity of extend
ing to Messrs. Workman and
Carter, Shuman and North and
Record, their thanks.
We wish for the Star-Tel..
gram continued and increased
success; we wish it renewed
strength in promulgating, and
defending, if necessary, those
lofty American principles of de-
mocracy and freedom, broad
mindedness and friendliness for
which the paper has stood; and
to the older members Of the cor
poration, to Col. Workman and
Mr.. Garter, we wish many years
of health, happiness and success.

that Mr.. Harding uttered on the
Decoration Day Celebration May
30th, at the Arlington National
Cemetery. He delivered a splen.
did address, but there were two
or three sentences that attracted
our attention more than the rest
of the address. These are the
sentences that especially i'm
pressed themselves: "Our coun
try" said the president, "has
never failed to measure up to
any demands in behalf of hu-
mainly and it never will. When
it ceases to meet these demands,
it will no longer be our country;
it will be, if that time ever
comes, the wretched and decay
ing memorial of another civiliza-
tion that has crumbled, of an
other ideal that has failed, of
another ambition of mans hap
piness that has somehow gone
awry."
We wonder whether the presi-
dent thought of the barbarious
immigration bill which he sign
ed, when he spoke these elo-
quent words-words eloquent
indeed, with the past history Of
our glorious land; we wonder
whether the president realized
as deeply as those who have
been accepted into the bosom of
America, that for nearly a cen.
fury, this was the land of hope
for all that part of humanity
that suffered for conscience's
sake, that it DID answer the de-
mands of a portion of humanity,
by offering itself as an asylum
for the oppressed; we wonder
whether now that Congress has
withdrawn America from the
ranks of the nations that offer
freedom to the oppressed, we
have arrived at the stage of be-
ing memorial of past glorious
civilization"
To us there is no question
about it. The elimination of the
clause permitting the entrance
of those who are being persecut-
ed because they refuse to
change their faith, has changed
one of the hottest traditions Of
The land-and though President
Halding would not admit it, we
have failed to measure up to the
demands of humanity.
Perhaps the President will see
that the elimination of America

that hold out their arms in vel.

Titled; let us REMIND tne man Oh
boy who wrote this rot that q
Jew it was who first set foot Oh
this continent; that a Jew it was
who made it possible for Colum-
bus to discover America, and
that were it not for the Jews, the
writer of those lines would not
have been in America. If the
Jew has gotten liberty and free
dom and opportunity here, he is
as much entitled to them as is
the fellow who wrote those fool
ish statements. We ashland
we receive-nothing that any
other Americans do not ask for
or receive.
The insinuation that particu-
lar Sabbath is AMERICAN, or
that the Jews "prostituted" Am
erican theatres and motion pic
lures, is as false as it is vile.
How anybody who calls himself
Christian" can indulge in such
open violation of the command
ments of God, is to us a mystery.
How anybody who writes a
screed like this can call himself
religious, let alone a follower of
the "lowly Nazarine", is as pro-
found a mystery as is that any
man worthy of the name, can
throw himself into the mire of
anti-Semitism. The fellow who
wrote this stuff is clearly a dis.
ciple of Ford, and the pity of it
is, that thousands of men, wom-
