upon to undertake onebof.Gh s1adsts diff
cult and seemingly hopeless tasks any
leader ever faced. 9d A5c
Whatever may be Finland's ultimate
fate, the brilliant feats of Field Marshal
Mannerheim's little army have already
written glowing page in the annals of
defensive warfare. In the first month of
the war it is estimated that Russian losses
in killed and wounded have been more
than ten times as great as those Of the
Firms.
Marshal Mannerheim is Of Swedish
Finnish ancestry, and comes of an aris-
tocratic family. He served 80 years in the
imperial Russian Army and was once COM
mander of the Cars bodyguard He was
major-general when Russia collapsed in
1917, and was forced to flee to Finland
during the revolution.
He organized a Finnish army in 1918,
and with aid from Germany drove the
Communists out of Finland, which be-
came an Independent state. He had an
important part in Organizing the new Fin
nish republic, efter which he went into re-
tirement in 1919. He was called to head

What amazes us is not the antiquity

Fundamental problems of their, existence.

day what the future holds for present

While it is interesting to discover new
facts about existence in former eras and
to speculate upon the "shape of things to
come," the people of today must cOncen-
trate upon the problems of the hour. In
testing possible solutions, it is we'll to weigh
the basic principles involved with the
knowledge that comes from the past and
to be certain that they do not conflict with
basic human instincts.

AN IGNORAMUS

Education, when it takes, makes an
individual receptive to new ideas.
1t is supposed to enable "a person to
distinguish between epithetse ard reason
when considering any matter discussed.
.s--. Usually, it humbles those who begin
to know some of the little truth that
human beings have been. able TO disco@dr.'
When you see an individual afraid of
new ideas, preferring to use epithets in
stead of reason and presuming to know
the answers to all questions, you can be
quite positive that you are viewing the &C
tions of an ignoramus no matter how many
words he uses.

EVERGLADES PARK--NOW

1t seems to us that Governor Cone has his
with him to expect the votes of south
Florida after what he had done to delay action on
the Everglades National park project. He has
held up legislative appropriations for the specific
purpose of bringing the project to the point where
the federal government willitake it over, and he
has never, SO far as, we can, reeaR intimsesdI at
any time that he wtes even CEynpatherfc to rttee

Now he is running for senator, and repeating
the old line about being senator for all Flor
ida" South Florida, however, may feel that the
proof of the pudding is in the eating
1t may not be too late yet for the governor to
do something about it, and perhaps gain himself

suggests, and agree, that he should make up
for lost time by energetcally pushing the park in
The months that remain to him. The federal
government is already impatient at the delay; the
people of Florida have similar attitude; so what

Publicity boys are clever, but not
when -they ask newspapers to publish long
articles on every imaginable subject and
expect they be published in toto When
the publicity hounds ask for clippings of
the articles without enclosing the stamps
required for the purchase, they are just
piziI dnmb. Today The Citizen received
three tong essays on Sugar" with promise
of some more and the usual request for

ceived." Not feeling very grateful at the
