A STATE OF MIND

Something quite new and original in the way of
explanation CT the widespread conditions Of unem-
plcyment is forthcoming from Canadas commits
sioncr of labor who frankly says that unemploy-
ment is state Of mind The inference is that it
is because of human thinking that certain things
are SO; the gentleman making the assertion has
evidently read Shakespeare If this be true. then
dIeness. hunger poverty are all mental condition
and not'by any means reality. 1t may be taken
for granted that the tired mother and her starving
brood would like to be able to convince them
selves that an empty cupboard is but state of
mind and by the use of the same mystic art of
thinking, clohe and feed themselves. In one sense
the statement of the Canadian may be partly true
thinking, capital and labor have been thrust far
apart SO that biased opinions and misunderstand-
ings have taken the place of sane reasoning, which
should lead to recognition of mutual interests and
mutual rights. Canada is said to have not less than
two hundred thousand idle men this winter while on
this side Of the boundary line the number is
enormously greater. If plentiful work and reas-
enable prosperity are to be restored by some
process of thinking the sooner a start is made the
better. In the meantime the practice of sane
living, the having of a due regard for rational
and normal needs and sense of brotherhood for
others less fortunate than ourselves. will at least
tide over the rough places and make us mentally
fit for the return Of better times.

PLACING THE RESPONSIBILITY

After as thorough preliminary examination as
possible, experts agree that The destruction of the
giant dirigible Roma on Tuesday afternoon was
due to the collapse Of the elevatng rudders follow
ing their faiare to properly function 1t is thought
that they either jammed or gave way after the
pict found TIE big ship was not responding to con-
troll. This resulted in a sort of nose dive which
was impossible tc overcome. Then came the con-
tact with the high voltage electric wires the ignition
Of the hydrogen gas, the terrific explosion and the
roaring furnace Of flames, said to have shot fully
eight hundred feet into the air. An aeronautcal
society in New York now resolutes in favor CT the
government stepping the use CT hydrogen gas, al
ways dangerous, and the substitution of the more
expensive helium gas, which is non-explosve. This,
of course. would eliminate the dangers that follow
a crash to earth of an airship OF blmp and in The
case of the Roma might have meant the saving of
at least score OF human lives that fell prey to
the devouring heat 1t is to be hoped the probe
being made into the Roma disaster will develop
every possible angle OF defect or shorcoming, ether
in the matter of construction or of operation. Only
by SO doing can the experts benefit by this awful
experience only through this process can the sac
nfce of human life be made to count for some de-
gree of gain in the realm of science.

CLEAN PEoPLE-cLEAN CITY
(St. Petersburg Times.)


Mayor Frank F. Pulver is entitled to common
dation for his efforts to cleanup st. Petersburg
But along with Mayor Pulver there are others
who should be commended. These folks are those
who have listened to his appeals and have Joined
with good spirit in effort to keep the streets,
the sidewalks and especially the alleys in better
condition.
Carelessness had resulted in a condition in
some Of the alleys which was deplorable. 1t was
not the intention of the good people to allow these
alleys to become infested with all sorts of trash
and old boxes and paper, but the rush of business
and other interests kept the business men and
others SO occupied that the alleys and the side
walks we're forgotten
Naturally the business men of St Petersburg
are clean. So are the majority OF citizens
Clean people want clean city and it was only
necessary for the mayor to suggest in a kindly
way the cleanup campaign to make it effective.
Sometimes he compelled to be a bit firm
in his attitude, but never was he obliged to take
the law in his hands to gain his end.
The Times hastens to commend them all for
their action and to ask that they keep the good
work going in order that there may never be a
return to the condition which existed before this
campaign was started.

BOUGHT AND PAID FOR
(St. Augustine Record.)


THE Jacksonville bridge across the ST Johns
river was opened July last" says the Tampa
Tribune. ut figured it would pay for itself
and all operation in about twenty years. Receipts
cash receipts, since the opening date show that
the bridge is paying for itself and it's operation
in such fast and steadily growing manner that
it will be bought and paid for within seven years"
The Tribune urges this as proof of the fact
that bridge across Old Tampa Bay, reducing
the distance between Tampa and st. Petersburg
from the present SO miles to 10 miles, would also
buy and pay for itself within reasonable time.
AS matter of fact all real improvements pay
fer themselves in less time than one would think
possible before they are made good road,
substantial bridge, a needed and really disable
waterway, the raising or lowering of railroad
to avoid crossing at grade-all these things
bring in sure and speedy returns
Medical inspection in the schools is another
investment which communities sometimes hest
tate to make on the ground of expense This also
soon pays for ITSELF
The difficulty in public matters is the same as
In private ones-to avoid waste and needless
expense. With these excrescences Topped off by
honest and intelligent officials Improvements
which really improve may be undertaken by any
community with courage and confidence as to the
financial outcome.

them all the public snaps, and hope for better

have some surplus dimes. And we forget how in
the past we've heard the same old song, heard
statesmen make their pledges vast to right our
every wrong; and idle as veering blast we're all
those pledges strong And we elect those gaudy
birds who make the eagle scream, who charm us

appreciative people who in the term prom
Use Of what this state is to be to automobile trav

the desire of every automobile owner in the coun-
try to spend a month season on the roads
of Florida. The most beautiful drives in the Unit
ed States can be made through the tropical set
ting of this sunny land.
Already, too fine beginning has been made
in Florida road work. According to c. S. Lee, d.
rector of the Highways Information service, New
York City, Florida is leading all the states of the
South in both street and road construction. In
statement recently issued; the New York man
notes that during the five months ending Deem
Der 81, 1921, the state, counties and towns in
Florida have voted total of II 100000 in bonds
for roads and $1,664,000 for new streets, and
that official reports show a probably additional
expenditure of $6,52O,OOO for roads.
Here in South Florida report comes of prob
able early completion of the Tamiami Trail which
is to provide road across the state connecting
Miami with the West Coast, and giving wonder
fully interesting drive through the Everglades
that for so many centuries have been waiting to
yield up their treasures. And there are other road
projects in contemplation that will greatly in
crease the highway mileage in South Florida.
Wherever good roads built, the territory
along their course is transformed in one growing
season from the wilderness to productive farm
ing land. Pretty homes are built, then neighbors
come, then village springs into being. The mo-
torist finds paradise" that is emnently prac-
tcal along with its beauty, and is more likely than
not to choose some spot along the route for his
Florida home.
