BOTH NATIONS HoRRIFlED

Americans will beeherrified by news
from China that lepers are being appre-
hended and executed and that blind per-
sons are also believed TO be doomed to
death.
The news dispatch does not indicate
how far the campaign has extended but it
is apparent that the authorities are wag-
ing a war of determination in some areas.
Meanwhile, we suppose, educated
Chinese are amazed at the news from the
United States, where, they read, one hun
dred Americans are killed every day on
the highways where automobiles speed at
dangerous PAGES. They probably find
themselves Mortified at the death toll and
murmur in pity at the injury of hundreds
iof thousands every year.
In this country we are immune to the
slaughter of the highways because we are
accustomed to it. In China they do not
worry much about those beheaded be-
cause, over there, it is an old story.

FREEDOM OF RELIGION

Some amazement wac felt by observ-
ers when Premier Mussolini recently pro-
claimed himself the protector of Islam"
while visiting Libya few weeks ago.
This, it seems, was unnecessary because
the Italian dictator is now backing Ro-
man Catholic mission to Ethiopia and other
missions in that area are being ordered to
abandon their work and go home.
Inasmuch as several American mis-
sionaries are affected by the order there
will be howl in this country by the
agencies affected. However, it is just as
well to bear in mind that if Mussolini Is
ruling Ethiopia and running affairs in that
region, it is his buriness and if American
missions are not desired they might as well
come home.
Such incidents, however, should
cause all Americans to. rejoice in the free
dom accorded residentsof this country in
matters of religion. Unhappily this is not
the rule in many areas

pay the debts and provide for the
general welfare Of the United
States amounts to an unlimited
commission to exercise every power
which may be alleged to be peces-
sary for the common defense Or gem
eral welfare. No strongerS proof
could be given of the distress under
which these writers labor for OBJ
jections than their STOPPING to such
a misconstruction.
aHad no other enumeration or
definition of the powers of the Con-
gress been found in the Constitution
than the general expressions just
cited, the authors Of the objections
might have had some color for it:
though 1t would have been difficult
to find reason for so awkward
form of describing an authority to
legisIate in all possible cases. A
power to destroy the freedom of the
press. the trial by jury or even to
regulate the course of deScents or
the forms of conveyance must be
very singularly expressed by the
terms to raise money for the gen.
eral welfare.
But what color can the objection
have when specification of the OBJ
jects alluded to by these general
terms Immediately follows, and is
not even separated by a longer
pause than a sefaicolon2 If the diff
ferent parts of the safnesinstrument
ought to be SO expounded; as to give
meaning to every part which will
bear it, shall one part of the same
sentence be excluded altogether
from share in the meaning. and
shall the more doubtful and indefi-
mite terms be retained. In their full
extent. and the clear and precise ex-
preston be denied any Specification
whatsoever? For what purpose
could the enumeration of particular
powers be inserted. if these and all
others were meant to be included in
the preceding er,al power?
Nothing is more natural and COM
mon than first TO use the general
phrase and then to explain and
qualify il by recital of particulars.
'But the idea of an, enumeration
of particulars which neither explain
nor qualify the general meaning and
can have no other effectthan to con-
fuse and mislead is an absurdity
which as we are reduced to the di-
lemma of charging either on the
authors of the objection or on the
authors of the Constitution. we must
take the liberty of supposing had
not its origin with the latter"

ltion clarity. for the Pres ident. what

The Citizen learns that city govern

The Citizen learns that city govern
ment in Florida is the most efficient, the
state comes next. and the counties last.
There are exceptions to this rule, and Key
West is one of them. Here the county
commission is the most efficient body,
while the city administration is not highly
thought off, in fact the city and county
governments should be emerged at a con-
siderable saving to the taxpayers, but our
local politicians are shying from the
proposition as if it were a contagious dis
ease.

still remain and presumably the animal life con-
tinued to exist. As the separation grew wider and
deeper and the walls became more vertical,
succeeding animal generations found themselves
completely isolated from the mainland"
There is no reason why they should have be-
come extinct The forests still gave them food
and shelter and probably pools of rain water
formed in the rocks But even if all the water had
disappeared the animals could still adapt them
selves to live without it. Nature accommodates
itself to such conditions in many deserts. Some
mammals who live there never have to drink
They get all the liquid they need from vegetation
1t is doubtful that any large mammals still
exist on these plateaus. Deer probably would
have left before the separation was complete or
would have died from intensive inbreeding But
smaller mammals such as squirrels, chipmunks,
pack rats, pocket gophers and other rodents
would have no reason to desert their home before
the isolation was complete.
