THE OPEN MIND

The rarest possession in the world
the Open Mind, 1t is the disting.

Is a serious mistake 10 be going
along with system that is so OBJ
yiously backward and unbusi-
n@SS-like as a seven or eight

strengthened BY the experience
the other counties have had in
adopting the smaller sized

The impracticability Of having
a Board of such size is at once
apparent, and yet that is precise
~ the situation that confronts
us; to say nothing Of the many
other strong reasons that lead If
resistibly TO the conclusion that,
sooner or later, the county is
bound TO come to the smaller
Board plan. The fallacy of the
"one Commissioner for each Dis
trict" idea cannot survive much
longer.
The Three Commissioner plan
that has just been rejected at the
polls is one of those forward
movements that cannot help sue

yearly always require more

The plan itself is fundamentally
sound and that it is bound to pre-

what is the matter. Why all this
fussing over Ku Klux or Protestants!
As long as I can remainder. I'M
Catholic Church has had organiza-

openly anti-Protestant? Can any
Protestant join any Of these? Don't

Why, then. is 1t sin for the Prot

Bruce to the United States Sen
ate, the voters of Mary land have
done. much more than yindicate
the judgment OF the Democratic
party III nominating a candidate
superior to his Republican oppon-
ent; they have redeemed the
State for the cause of sane Amer
icanism and have re-gained the
self-respect which ali common
wealths, like individuals, must
have in order to truly fulfill their
mission in fife.
His victory, therefore, is cause
for the deepest qualification and
relief, for had the outcome been
otherwise, the alien elements
within our State who hail Sena-
tor France as their champion and
to whom he made special APP
peal, would inevitably have con
sidered themselves newly liccns-
cd to put into practice their IN
sidious doctrines and would have
done So with a brazenness they
were just beginning to assert.
BE il said for Senior France
that ne rose from tho obscurity
of a non-tntity III county and
State politics TO a figure Of ma
tionai, and even international
prominence, because Of cxcep-
tionally diligcnt application 10
his public duties, as he conceiv-
cd them to be, and BY fervcnt de-
votion 10 the cause he adopted.
But by that very conservation he
grew TO be a serious menace in
matters of State and national
government, for the allcgianccs
he formed and the policies" and
doctrines he promulgated were
weird and unnatural and hostile
to Spirit Of American institutions.
His retirement therefore, from
official life, before his misguided
activities got any further head
way. was demanded i'll the inter
est Of the public peace and vel
fare.
And William Cabell Bruce was
the "man Of the hour 10 accom-
plish this. As the New York
Times aptly expressed II:
"ndwn in Maryland Or. France.
whose bank balance is perhaps
more satisfactory than his intel
lectual balance, and who pants for
recognition of the Soviet Govern
ment of Russia as the hart pant
eth after the water brooks, ought
to be beaten by his Democratic
opponent. Mr. William Cabell
bruce. great lawyer, an expert
onced man of affairs. profoundly
versed in legal constitutional and
historical knowledge, man OF
the steadiest Judgment aud of
crystalline intellect"
This is what others think OF
the man Maryland has chosen as
her next United States Senator,
and the Just pride We feel in him
is naturally swclled by the
knowledge that the rest OF the ma
ton shares it with us.
For the House OF Representa-
tiveS. the Filth Congressional
District has again chosen Sydney
L. Mudd. While The Maryland
Gazette earnestly endorsed and
supported his Democratic oppon-
ent, Clarence NJ. Roberts. and
naturally regret his defeat. we
extend our sincere congratula-
tons to Mr.. Mudd ON his victory
and wish for him the best of luck
and success in all his cndeavors
for the District with which he
and his family has been SO long
and closely idsntihed.

FOR OUR BOYS AND GIRLS

The following resolution was adopted at the last annual
meeting of the Florida Federation of Womens Clubs and will
be presented the Legislature proposed amendment
to the Constitution.
As it pertains education every every club in
the Federation should give this matter great publicity.
Whereas The State Board Of Education, present
stued consists entirely of exofco members viz, the Gov
eno Secretary of State Attorney General Treasurer and Su
perintendent of Public Instruction. and
Whereas Except for the last named official the burdens and
responsibilities of those Offices such that impossible for
the holding them give the question Of public educa
ton the time and consideration demands; especially since
these officials members of many other boards; and
Whereas The Board of Education as constituted is parti
fractional body although the schools supported by
all the people regardless of political religious affiliations; and
Whereas As constituted change of administration may
bring into power and inexperienced body of
practice dangerous fatal the best interests of edu
cation; and
Whereas As constituted women are probably for a long
time if not astngy excluded from serving this board
service for which of broad culture educational
perience, progressive ideas and leisure are emneny hed
and
Whereas Florida one of only nine states in the American
Union aderng to this anquaed method of forming its Board
of Education, therefore be it
Resolved That the judgment of the Florida Federation of

Resolved That we petition the next Legislature to submit
to the people of Florida constitutional amendment providing

which each Congressional District will be represented by

SENATOR PARK
TRAMMELL BUSY
WITH CAMPAIGN
Headquarters In Heron Building
Center Of Good-natured But
Earnest Campaign

Senator Park Trammell is to be
found these days in the two sparsely
furnished rooms in the Heron build
ing where he has established cam
paign Headquarters. His time is well
taken up with the preparation of lit
erature, the conduct of his usual run
of correspondence, conferences with
his campaign manager and chats with
old friends who drop in. He is never
too busy to see an old friend or to
talk with a constituent who has been
hearing opposition talk and wants to
get the straight of things.
Senator Trammell is even better
looking than his pictures indicate, and
this is doubtless because his pleasing
cast of countenance is backed up by
strong personality, an impression of
good health and a voice pleasingly
modulated and we'll controlled. He
is not easily excited. He displays no
venom or bitterness in discussing the
campaign or any issue connected with
it, and his review of old-time cam
paign tricks was notable for the spirit
of humor he put into it,
The recent intimation in an oppo-
sition paper that he pays too much
attention to dress also amused him.
81 have never been more than a reas-
onably neat dresser" he explained
casting an eye down his clean but I'M
pretentious attire, land | learned to
be that from my father who told me
when l first started in law to wear
clean shirt and keep decently dressed,
or people would conclude that | was a
poor lawyer and would take their bus
mess elsewhere because looked down
and out"
While not denying any mans right
to dress sincerely in any manner that
pleases him, the Senator believes and
says that the time is past when a
candidate dressed like a tramp to
prove that he would make a good SEN
ator.
All other objections and limitations
are handled by him in the same quiet,
good natured manner. On a table near
at hand, he keeps the published re-
ports of his whole political career, and
turns to chapter and verse whenever
he wishes to settle a point, appar-
emily making not the slightest effort
at evasion, but showing a readiness
with the reasons for believing
measure right or wrong
Senator Trammell and his campaign
manager and close friend, Judge John
S. Edwards, are receiving messages
of assurance from all parts of the
state and are confident that the SEN
ator will receive the generous sup
port of the people, a support that has
never failed him yet.
Perhaps the reason for his success
is embodied in the conversation of
two women who were leaving from
short conference with the senator.
He is splendid. like him." said
the one who had met him for the
first time.
you've said it," responded the 9th.
er. He has a good record, but the
main point is that the people like
him. 1t will always be hard to keep
the people from voting for man they
like"
