Lesson in Miami for FeUOw Citizens

I SEE by the papers that the state of my birth
seems to be swinging back into the Republican
column. I advise my fellow citizens up North to
come to Miami right away, not only to profit by the
lovely climate (today is honey, but also to get a
hrS-hand lesson in the nefficiences of rugged ind-

The mood of residents is to ascrbe the damage
OF the blow to bad luck God. Neither the Creator
nor the Goddess of Chance should be asked to take
the blame Sitter building requirements. grounded
power lines and ordinances against hanging signs
would render a storm like that of Monday no more
damaging than any one of. a dozen thunder showers
Which New York takes in its stride every summer
And think one other thing should be impressed
upon Florldlans With any reasonable regimentation
every dWeler in an exposed spot could be assigned
TO safe building for temporary shelter in the
event of hurricanes. The hotels to be sure were
generous enough in offering their obbes to refugees
whether with money or without But that applied
only to whites. The Negroes with very few excep-
tons, had to take the storm in their own flimsv

be avoiding the reactionary tag.
Farmers, reading his speech,
could not find out just what he
would do for them, though he said
that the farmer must get fair
price for his products comparable
to those of other industries, that
farming is a national problem, and
that the farmer is entitled to equal
protection in the domestic mar
ket with industry-all of which
has been conceded before by Re-
publicans as we'll as Democrats.
The Kansas Governor, appar-

ment on method. The Roosevelt

He seems to have accepted as

Gov. Landon favors relief for
the unemployed, but, as he put it,

The Landon campaign has been

parent some weeks ago that the
Administration spending program
was likely to become the most ef-
fective Republican issue. So the
Landon people began to pass out
stories about the Governors rec
ord of economy in Kansas.
"The Coolidge of Kansas" they
began to call him.
TN his Cleveland speech, the
l. Governor stepped right into
the pattern.
He told how he established a
"pay-as-you-go" policy in Kansas
by expanding the so-called bud

ecessor, Harry M. Woodring, and
by his "cash basis" law preventing

Gov. Landon, it is reported, was
averse to getting himself into the
race for the nomination too early
and was sorry, after he had ac-

His idea was to remain out of

In addition today we have a special bargain for our pa- irons. in the shape of fine imported French beauty cream, discovered by one of .Napoleon's distractions, and while the limited supply lasts we offer a two-dollar jar of clean ser and purifier, a two-dollar tube of the flesh food and dollar fifty bottle of crack -tightener all for $1.89. Another day the market man offers choice hams of a parti- cular brand along with some ad- vice and a remedy for liver trouble. Today his handbill brings homily on domestic hygiene and an un- precedented offer of a pound of coffee. and don't get the idea that this IS an obscure butcher. No indeed, 1t is one of the big market men.
 There Is no law to prevent the corner grocer, if still extant, from handling out health hokum along reason why the big business people should get away with all the soft money. If this is the line the Yan- kee public wants, why shouldn't the small grocer dish it out too?
 Speaking from the health view point as well as the economical. should like to see the cracker box, the molasses barrel and all the rest of the institutions of the little cor ner grocery restored to community life. Those institutions kept the profits in our own community, made jobs for our boys and girls, maintained the happiness and morale of the people. It is time the little grocer woke up and called the bluff of the fancy package charlatans. It is time, too, for the head of the family to snap out of 1t and quit squanderinG the budget on pretty pictures and imposing talk.
