wondering if the city can take care of the
crowd. There is no doubt on this
point for during the summer the capacity
of Miami was enlarged by three thousand
rooms and they are not all filled to be sure.
There is no use in urging persons whose
duty it is to live somewhere else to come
to Miami and that is not our intent at all,
but we will say that for those who can
come as well as not, there is no place in
the world which offers so much in the way
of climate and attractive living conditions
as Miami and we hope they will get down
to see for themselves.

We think we have outgrown the
simpler things of life, in this day
of rush and complexity but have
we? A few days ago almost the
whole city of Newark was down
on it's knees asking the life of one
of it's doctors who was fighting a
death struggle. A thirteenth
young man had been rushed to his
bedside for TRANSMISSION of blood,
twenty-one doctors were doing
their best and yet this man is not
a man with a national reputation.
He is DR.. Whitenack, doctor,
who has specialized in the care of
infants. Seven thousand little
ones in Newark have been brought
to health through him, and many
of them have been the babies of the
poor. He has never refused the
call of the little child and a whole
city loves him. Altho a Presby-
terrain, prayers were said for him
in a Catholic cathedral and a
Jewish synagogue and he is loved
because he is man of sacrificing
service. We are accustomed to
associating people moved to
prayer with the days of our grand
parents, but every once in a while,
we find that science has it's limits
and that help, if it comes at all,
must then come from God.

Considering this is the time to
cast up accounts for the past year,
we feel impelled to quote the words
of the late Frank Bacon, of "Ligh-
TENN B" fame on the value of the
common variety of success and it's
proper place in the scheme of
things. Not long before he died,
he said:
Naturally, l, for one, believe, it's never
too late to succeed. can't say though,
that | favor late starts. Lord knows /
was willing to embrace fame a good many
years back But don't imagine for a
second that | am complaining about the
late hour of my success. In truth that
which we commonly call success has made
not whit of difference to mother and me.
1t has brought us nothing we did not have
before-that is, nothing that really mat
tered. You see we had happiness before
We believed in taking our happiness as we
went along. When you do that there
isn't such thing as failure We were doing
our best, and we were happy. That is all
we can expect today. After all, your
name in electrics and your picture in the
paper adds little to the love of life

France is proving to be a merci-
less creditor. That nation doesn't
mind if Germany is driven to the
position of a fourth-rate power.
France is follower of the Mosaic
doctrine of an eye for an eye and
Germany started it, back fifty
years ago, when Bismark imposed
an indemnity on ruined France,
which was intended to put France
into the discard of nations. But
France hasn't any of the bully in
its makeup. By splendid thrift
and determination, France paid
with good coin and paid more
quickly than it seems as if a nation
could. Now, France having Germ
any in the same position, will not
forfeit it's chance to even things up.
France cannot forgive and hasn't
even begun to think of forgetting
the militant Germany, which her
own money helped to raise to power
While the rest of the world doesn't
think that it is a wise. financial
policy to ruin Germany beyond re-
covery, there is still sympathy with |
the French point of view and,
with it, is the knowledge that were
Germany the victor, the world
would have been bled white and
that without mercy. A whining
debtor if often the hardest creditor.

is one hundred per cent. Americanism.
He referred to the members of the
Legion as representing the strength
of a nation and referred to their en-
trance to the war as not being to
save their skins but to save the world.
He spoke in appreciation for the Gold
Star Fathers, said he was grateful OF
the recognition and kindness and also
of everything that had been done In
commiseration of those we had loved
and lost awhile. He believed the
dead no more heroic than those who
are still with us and to those still
living he extended his respect and
