Original Illustrations by
F. Walter Taylor on VieU
In Library OF Congress.
Since, a few years ago, the Cabinet
of American Illustration and estab-
lished under the Division of Fine
Arts of the Library of Congress, a
considerable number of original
works by American illustrators has
been added to the National Collec-
ton. The latest addition consists of
illustrations by the late F. Walter
Taylor, the gift of Mrs. Taylor and
the Philadelphia Public Library.
These constitute an exhibition which
opened at the Library in the upper
south-curtain hall on December S.
F.. Walter Taylor was born in
Philadelphia in 1874, the son of
Frank H. Taylor, Civil War artist
and one-time correspondent for the
Daily Graphic. He studied at the
Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts,
and, at the age of %, won the
Hutchinson travelling scholarship
and went to London and Paris to
continue his studies. On his return
to this country, in 1898, he opened
studio in Philadelphia and soon
made distinguished place for him.
self as an illustrator. In 1915 he
won the gold medal of honor at the
Panama Pacific Exposition. In May,
1921, he was appointed to the fac
ulty of the Pennsylvania Academy
of Fine Arts. His death occurred
but two months later-July 81. In
February of the following year
memorial exhibition of his drawings
was held at the Knoedler Galleries

voTE-DON'T CRITICIZE!

Tomorrow is election day throughout
Florida and the United States. All kinds
of issues, from the .t$30-every- Thursday"
project in California to the question OF
taking the Florida national guard out OF
politics, will be settled by the voters. 1t is
their golden opportunity to express them
selves in the true democratic American
manner so that by failing to vote the citi-
zens of the city, county, state and nation
are helping to destroy our democracy and
indirectly aiding foes from within and
without the country to tear down our free
Institutions
In Monroe county there are no real is
sues confronting the voters, but they should
record themselves at the polls tomorrow
anyway. William H. Monsalvatge, Brax-
ton B. Warren, Carl Bervaldi, Norberg
Thompson and T. Jenkins Curry have no
listed opposition for county commissioners.
The same holds true of Clarence H. Pierce,
Allan B. Cleare and Ralph K. Johnson who
are running for membership on the board
of public instruction
On the STATE CICkeL, u. -. OSHdtOT
Claude Pepper is being opposed by Thomas
e. Swanson, Pat Cannon is being opposed
by j. S. G. Gallagher for member of con-
gress, while Jerry w. Carter and Eugene
Matthews have no opposition for railroad
commissioners. David Elmer Ward is UNI
opposed for state senate from this district,
while State Representative Bernie G. Papy
stands alone for reelection. fof
There are four constitutional amend
ments to be voted upon, and the Monroe
County Democratic executive committee
believes all of them should be acted upon
favorably. 1t is particularly important to
vote for the amendment requiring the
legislature to provide revenue for the uni
form system of public free schools and
state institutions of higher learning, as
well as that taking the Florida national
guard out of politics and placing it under
control of the war department
AS pointed out by the Democratic ex-
ecutive committee of this county no citi-
zen should criticize our public officials if
he stays away from the polls. In other
words, if you want good public officials
help elect them and don't blame the other
fellow if an incompetent man is put in of
flee. Remember---"A Vote that is Not
Cast Cannot be Counted.

TWENTY YEARS AFTER

Amidst rejoicing throughout the
world, the Armistice of November IL,
1918, brought to an end the greatest war
of all time. That struggle was referred to
as ''the war to end war;" and "the war to
make the world safe for democracy" But
it did neither.
Twenty years after the Armistice
finds the nations of the world armed and
arming as never before; with frightful wars
in progress in Spain and China and seri-
ous1revolt in Palestine; while another gen.
eral European war has just been narrowly
averted, perhaps only temporarily.
Ethiopia has been conquered; Austria
shasabeen seized, and Czechoslovakia has
been dismembered, while Germany, after
being rendered powerless by the Treaty, Of
Versailles again has built formidable
var machine which threatens the peaceI of
Etbe world -s#.a
Democracy has Jared badly in these
twenty years, while relationships have
arisen and flourished. The two great
European democraeies, England and
France. have been Inundated by Germany
to an extent which has irreparably dam
aged their prestige in the eyes of the
whole world. All important treaties and
pacts designed to preserve peace have
been scrapped. and the mad armament
race has become fiercer than ever.
Thus all that America fought for in
the last war has gone into the discard.
Only the lesson of that experience re-
mains. We should at least remember and
profit by that lesson.

This month"; two years ago, our
first letter appeared in The Citi-
zen. 1t contained an account OF
the execution of Gen. Bermude7
before the assembled armies OF
Cuba on the morning of August
IL, 1898. The late Grover Allen
gave us the story of Bermudez
whose friend he was. This story
may some day be recognized as
one of the great episodes in the
struggle for Cuba Libre.
