RAINBow's VICTORY

After losing the first two races of the
recent series for the Americas Cup, the
American defender Rainbow scored four
straight victories over the British challen-
ger Endeavour. thereby retaining the
worlds most famous yachting trophy on
this side of the water, where it has been
held for 80 years.
In the opinion of most yachting ex-
perts the Endeavour was really the
speedier boat, but the superior seaman
ship of the Rainbow's crew, under her
great skipper, Harold S. Vanderbilt, en-
abled her to triumph in the most exciting
series of races ever sailed for the coveted
cup.
Captain Sopwith of the Endeavour
handicapped himself by using crew COM
posed mostly of amateur sailors, after his
professional seamen struck for more pay
shortly before the yacht left England. As
it turned out, this was fatal to his hopes,
although every race was decided by close
margin. =
The prize cup, which so long has
been sought by British yachtsmen, was
first won by the American vessel America,
which defeated her English competitor
Aurora on August %, 1851. Since then no
less than Is British ehallengers have tried
to lift the cup, but without success.

HOME EXEMPTION NEEDS SUPPORTERS NOW
lakeland Newsl

The time for newspaper to support the
Homestead amendment is when it will do the most
good by crystalizing public sentiment. Now is the
time support is needed and not after it is seen
whether not the opposition will have money to
spend for paid editorials or stories against its
passage. They going to spend the money all
right; they are organized and have been for
months and next to the liquor interests will wage
about as strong campaign and spend about as
been done in Florida.
Then the fight will be carried right into the
legislature. The fellow who can get lined UP
properly with them was done in the arsenic
fight, the fruit marketing dispute and be paid at
the legal rate for all the "under cover" publicity
that will be offered feather his nest in good
shape.
But the peoples interests are at stake in this
Homestead exemption project. Real estate is in
the balance and the home owners rights should be
considered first Of ALL OF course there is no gem
eral organization to lead the way for Home ex-
enlption; home owners cannot become organized
any more than the citrus growers of Florida can
organize. They are scattered far and wide, in
every nook and corner of Florida. but there is a
principle involved that should command the atten-
ton Of every citizen who has a home or who is in
terested in the future of Florida and home build
ing That principle to shift the tax burden some
way in fairer basis of distribution and the only
way to do it is to meet the issue, vote for the
amendment in November and let the legislature
fight it out.
If the genuine newspapers and representa-
tives OF the people cannot be depended upon to
take the lead for the people of Florida and the
home owners in particular, then there is not much
left because all the large and special interests are
fighting them by employing the best talent pos
sible and forming great wall of resistance that is
determined and desperate in keeping the tax stua-
ton in its sided form. The time to get right
is now and not few days before the election.

The Chicago Worlds fair has been
running under the name Century of
Progress - which suggests a fascinating
thought, as to what the century has given
us.
A thousand years ago, a century saw
no great gains. If you study the history
of the year 934 in Europe, and compare it
with the year 834, you will see no great
difference. Indeed, about that time civil
ization seemed to be slipping backward.
But from 1884 to 1884, in science, in
vention and education, the world probably
made more advance than it did from the
year l at the birth of Christ, up to 1884
In 1884 toy locomotives were just begin
ming to pull dinky little trains. There
were no telegraphs, no telephones, no auto
mobiles, no radios, no airplanes, practically
no machinery.
The inventive powers of the world
have now blossomed forth like~tales of
magic. But how is it as respects moral
progress? The same old faults that
created poverty and misery in 1884, are
still with us. When will man awake to the
need for accomplishing in the field of
human conduct and welfare, triumphs
comparable to those of science?

. Arthur Brisbane, who knows news
and newspapers, has this to say concern

they die, like horses, cows and human be-

when the wrong newspaperman or some
body who is not newspaperman gets hold
of them. A newspapers death is called
merged because that saves the pride of
some newspaper failure. Government
might save newspapers from being 'mer-
ged in death by buying and running them
But that would be expensive, and if the

CAMPAIGN SET-UP.
Only Rhode Island Is Left
to Pick Candidates to
Fight New Deal.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

With nomination of party candi-
dates and adoption of a platform by
Republicans of New York, the G. o. P.
has virtually completed its set-up for
the congressional and State campaign
of 1884 Only Rhode Island remains
to nominate candidates and adopt
platforms.
Notwithstanding the hold the
Roosevelt New Deal seems to have on
people, the Republican State platforms
in the main strongly condemn many
acts of the New Dealers.
Except in isolated spots, the Repub-
hcan leadership is attacking the New
Deal vigorausly-although not indis-
criminately.
New Mexico which held its Repub-
lican and Democratic State conven-
tions this week, provides one spot
where the New Deal is dealt with
more kindly by the Republicans. They
could not, indeed, renominate Senator
Cuttings they did-and consistently
attack the New Deal. And Senator
Cutting, in accepting the nomina-
ton, announced he would support .

down by the President. his only quail
flcation being that it conform with
the real interests of the people.
Old Guard Gusts Macy.
In New York, however, the Old
Guard Republicans ran roughshod
at the State convention over w. Kings
land Macy, who was retired as chair
man. Mr.. Macy ~long has been a
thorn in the side of the Old Guard.
When it became known he would sup
port Judge Samuel Seabury, independ-
ent Democrat and foe of Tammany,
for the Republican nomination for
governor. the regular Republicans
laid their plans to defeat and retire
him without more delay. This they
did at Rochester. in convention, Fri
day. They picked for the guberna-
torial candidate Robert Moses, park
commissioner of New York City, an
