Twenty-Five Florida boosters, men,

enroute from their international con-
vention at San Francisco, California,
learned something about Minnesota
while guests of St. Paul and Mime
apolis Lions at the St. Paul Hotel.

The speaker for the occasion was H.
G. Hotaling, secretary of the Ten
thousand Lakes Association and state
tourist commissioner.
Comparing California from whence
the members of the party had just
come and Florida, their home, with
Minnesota Mr.. Hotaling produced a
number of arguments overwhelmingly
in favor of the North Star State. In
part he said:
"Our visitors today have just re-
turned from a trip to the great state
Of California, their chief competitor
in the tourist industry, and today they
are in the bounds of the North Star
State, which boasts third place in the
playground and tourist industry of
the nation. I too have just returned
from a trip to the Golden State, visit
ing practically all the points of adj
vantage. 1t is great state. It
ranks wonderfully in it's production
of oranges, lemons, asparagus, straw
berries, cantaloupes, yet all these
crops combined brought in only $780,
175,OOO or $12,OO0,0OO less than Min
nesota's corn crop alone last year and
$31 100000 less than the previous
year. Why, our oat crop in 1924 was
more than all these products of the
Californians. Even our humble po-
tato brought in almost as much as
their oranges"
In comparing Minnesota to Florida
he said: again quoting government
statistics, all your cabbages, corn,
cotton, tame hay, lettuce, oats, pea
ltlts, potatoes, rice, sorgum, syrup,
sweet potatoes and tobacco only
amounted to s69,OOO,OOO or a little
more than the oat crop for Minneso-
ia. You produced 13,4OO,OO0 boxes of

oranges with a value of SIS, 900, 900 or

oranges with value of $4,000, 900 or
an amount practically the same as
that paid for Minnesota 5 barley crop.
Your potatoes which US folks up here
pay for in the winter months, brought
a little over 100000 which we
could have paid for with our flax and
have enough money left over to pur-
chase your entire crop of celery which
brought in $8,O0O,OOO. We are known
as the bread and butter state of the
Union. Our manufacturing is adj
vancing by leaps and bounds.
"We have a genuine bread basket
and could if we were so disposed
build wall around the state and find
within our commonwealth everything
necessary for the comfort, support,
sustenance and pleasure of our peo-
pie. We have the sheep and the flax
to furnish clothing, we have the wood
and the peat to keep us warm; we
have the bread and butter, the fish;
the meat, the native game to sustain
and strengthen our bodies; we have
the iron and the steel, the brick, the
granite, the stone and the lumber to
erect sky scrapers or humble cottages,
we have the cement and the clay. But
why enumerate, as we have no desire
or inclination to live alone.
"And just as sure as Florida is to
be the winter playground of the ma
ton, just as sure and certain Mime
sofa is to become the summer play
ground, provided we are careful in
conserving the wonders of nature
with which a great God has endowed
u.s."

manifestation of a mental quirk with
which many persons. present and

An Armistice at Moscow.

Yielding to irresistible pressure,
Leon Trotsky and his five associates
in the movement to defeat Stain and
his Soviet general staff at Moscow
have publicly repudiated their actions
and promised to disband the fractional
groups that have been formed under
their leadership. Associated with
Trotsky in this recent movement to
gain control of the policies OF the
Bolshevik organization are Zinovieff,
Kamenef, Pyatikoff. Sokolnikof and
Yevdokimoff. Opposed to them are
Stain, Bukharin, Rykoff, Kalinin and
Tomsky. The Trotsky group two
weeks ago made a public attack
against the central committee in a
meeting, which was denounced as
illegal and in manner which the
central committee called "a shameless
violation OF party discipline" 1t is
evident that Trotsky and his friends
were given the choice Of a surrender
or severe punishment. They chose
tho former.
IN their public declaration the Trot-
sly half dozen announce that they
continue to hold their own views. but
they thsreupon surrender all the ma
chinsry which they have constructed
to the end Of making those views effec-
tive. They promise to conffne their
opposition of opinion within the

THINK 1T OVER
The Melting Pot.
By William Mather LetUis.
President George Washington University

II the melting pot is to function We
must keep the fire burning under It.
In small Illinois city there was
rooming house occupied by scores OF
Rumanian laborers. Almost every
night the neighbors summoned the
police to suppress some disturbances
in this home. 1t was the sore spot I'm
the community. Then the leader OF
progressive group of young business
men came to the mayor and asked per
mission to use a ward school near the
rooming house two evenings a week
for the general purpose OF adult edu'
cation.
The young citizens invited the Ru-
manians to come to the school. They
extended warm welcome; they
taught their guests the English Ian
guage; they discussed American ideals.
and from that night on the complaints
Of neighbors became rare.
The American school Is open on
the average less than 200 days a year.
With an Americanizatton problem fac-
ing US, with the need which exists In
many neighborhoods for social and
discussion centers, we should have our
school doors open much more than
we do today. Thus would our fine
school plants more and more Justify
the money invested in them. Thus
would illiteracy be reduced. real Amer
icanization promoted and community
welfare increased.
The stranger within our gates can
be more quickly led into our ways by
intelligent service than by the strong
hand of the law.

The First Glimpse of Washington.

1t is stated that as Queen Marie Of
Rumanta stepped out Of the Union
Station in this city last evening for
her first view Of Washington she gave
an exclamation of surprise and pleas
ure at the vision Of the dome Of the
Capitol Illuminated in the dusk of the
southern sky. This Is the reaction of
practically every visitor to this city
arriving after nightfall. It is one Of
the most impressive spectacles in the
world. Washingtonians, though IA
miliar with 1t, are constantly thrilled
with the sight. AS the city is ap-
preached by motor from out Of town
the dome glows as a jewel. 1t Is the
symbol Of the Capital, the symbol Of
America.
It must be borne in mind, however,
that for those who enter Washington
by train in daylight hours no such
spectacle is afforded. The dome is
there: the perfect lines Of that re-
markable creation surmounting the
legislative building are in evidence.
But the vista through which It Is Ere
sented is not one Of charm. The i'm.
mediate foreground. planned as a
park, has been neglected, Is utilized
for war emergency structures. and is
marred by relics Of the old occupation
before the Government undertook the
creation Of the Capitol-Station plaza.
After some years of delay Congress
at the last session provided for the
purchase Of the remaining portions of
this area to be developed as a park.
That work should be pressed speedily
to conclusion. In the shortest possible
time the land should be taken, its
temporary" occupants removed, thd
full sweep developed on lines of
beauty. Then newcomers to the city
will get their first impressions of
Washington with the same reaction
Of pleasure and admiration now felt
when the dome shines forth In the
darkness.
Washington's welcome to the visitor
should be just as impressive by day
as by night.

tee," but give up their claim to the
right to defend them after the major
ity has voted them down. The prac.
tical point of the matter Is that this
surrender insures the silence Of the
Trotskyites at the next session Of the
party conference, October 25, when,
the central committee rules. there
shall be no discussion Of these con-
troversial questions.
This is a strange sort Of surrender.
1t is yielding to force and not a
yielding Of convictions. Evidently
Trotsky and his associates are tenn
porizing. even as Stain and his forces
are compromising. The actual issue
between these groups is as to the ex-
tent to which the communist policy Is
to be carried into execution. Trotsky
claims to be the heir Of Lenin and
the standard bearer Of extreme boil
shevism. Stain has been carrying on
In series Of readjustments from ex-
treme communism to meet the eco-
nomic needs Of Russia in the face of
the opposition of foreign powers to
the radical regime Of the proletariat
at Moscow.
Trotsky's promise to abstain from
controversy and contention will prob.
ably be trustworthy only to the de-
gree that he can be kept In fear of
the power Of the majority. The fact
that he and his friends specifically
avow their belief in their own doc.
trines and submit only as a matter of
discipline is practically a notice that
this present arrangement is merely
an armistice. The civil war brewing
in Russia is simply postponed.

Q. How is 1t possible to tell time
