The New Preacher

A fine, ana we are sure deserN-
ing, tribute was paid by the WASH
ington IN. c. Daily News Tuesday
to Rev. w. d. McInniS, who IS
giving up the passionate Of the FIRST
Presbyterian church there TO accept
4 like relationship with the First
Presbyterian church in Henderson
He comes here the last Of March.
Henderson has been blessed aho
inspired and uplifted by the quality
and character of the Christian
ministers who have served the sew
,ral denominations here in recent
years. Their influence has been
wholesome and their cOmradeShlE
and cheerfulness enjoyable ano
beneficial TO all who have allowed
themselves to form their acquaml-
ance
y community without churches IL
not worth living in. And when Il
congregation is led by Hodly, CON
Secrated minister. the good that Is
done and which is within It's reach
to be done is immeasurcahle.
Rev. Mr.. McInniS comes to Hen
derSon with an enviablC reputation
on which to make good. His career
and ministry in Washington have
reached the entire community t'
the extent that he leaves lis iilc
better because he was for SO long
4 part of it.
AppraiSals of his service ana
devotion indicate that HcndcrS"H Is
Under obligation to the Presbyterian
congregation for bringing him here
to he one of us.
Under the heading, "A Real Loss,
the Daily News wrote OF Mr.. Nc
lnniS as follows:
This city and section will OK
perience real loss in the departure
of the Rev. Mr.. William D. MrlnnI',
pastor OF the First Presbyterian
church, WHO announced to his con-
gregation Sunday his acceptance -!
call from the First Presbyterian
church of Henderson.
Deeply as members OF his own
denomination. as well as the legion
of friends from without which n"
has made. regret to see him depart
all are fully aware that he is out
obeying the duties imposed by his
high calling; that his decision va
not reached until he pHayerfully
asked the counsel of the Master
whom he is so fully serving.
Mir. McInniS' residence in WASH
ington has meant bencfjcent III
fluence for the city not only within
the confines of his church but
without. He has been prominently
identified with many civic activities,
all with an eye to and with a pun
pose of the city's uplift. Il is harI
to replace such men. All too many
of us are SO bent on the pUr>uit o.
worldly affairs that we are prone t
overlook the better side which he 50
ably represents.
Henderson is the gamer and 10
Mr.. McInnis and his family go the
WarmeSt and best wishes Of d city
he has so capably served for de-
cade. His works and his deeds and
the inspiration brought through his
inspired eloquence will not soon be
.Orgotten.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct.
28-Approximately so percent of
Florida counties are now receiv-
ing maximum Aid to Dependent
Children cash grants, which in
clude an additional 20 percent
allotment made possible by the
use of funds carried over from
the previous fiscal year, accord
ing to announcement today of
the State Welfare Board
Twenty counties, the an
nouncement said, can add five or
less additional Ado cases and IA
counties can add more than five
cases. The remaining 80 are at
saturatIon point.
In Monroe county, "a families
(65 children) received S785 dur
ing September, an average of
$32-71 per family and $12.00 per
child.
Expenditures for this public
assistance category are current
ly on the basis of S947, 1892 an
nually. OF this amount, $500, 200
is in the form of a legislative ap-
preparation, paid from the bever-
age fund, which is matched by an
equal amount of federal money,
while $73,946.86 represents the
unexpected balance from the past
fiscal year, which also is match
ed by the federal government on
a dollar for dollar basis.
Despite increased expenditures
made on population ratio so
that all counties may share alike
"a total of 1850 applications
were pending as of September 30,
the statement said.
In some of the heavily popu-
lated areas which have fairly
high economic levels a greater
proportion of Ado applications
have been taken care of that has
been possible in counties of lower
economic levels and small popu-
lation, according to the Welfare
Board.
No further expansion of this
program is possible, State Wei
fare Commissioner c. c. Codring-
ton explained, unless state ap-
preparations are increased. This
could only be done by the Legis-
lature when it next conveneS.

Answer Party Criticism
STATE ROOSEVELT HIMSELF MIXED PARTY
ISSUE; COMPARE WITH WASHING
TON AND JEFFERSON

Democrats have asked re-
peatedly the following question
of members of the Willkie Demo-
cratic Club of Key West:
How can you as Democrats
conScientiously vote for a Re-
publican candidate for the presi-
dency?"
DR.. ]. Y. Porter, president. and
Sam E. Harris, secretary. this
morning issued the following an
sWer to that question:
This question of the differ
ence between a Republican and a
Democrat has been made a joke
by Roosevelt himself. His run
ming mate, Wallace, is a Republic
can and all his forbears were Re-
publicans. including his father,
who served in two Republican
cabinets.
Roosevelt himself forced the
Democratic convention to nomi-
nate the Republican Wallace for
vice president. Besides, ROOSe-
welt has three Republicans in his
cabinet, IckeS, Knox and Simp-
son, and had four up to the time
Wallace resigned as secretary Of
agriculture after his nomination
for the vice presidency.
"In view of those facts. it
shows poor taste and poorer rea-
soning for Democrats, who are
sticking to Roosevelt. to ask US
how we can cOnScientiously
vote for a Republican when they
will also vote for a Republican
In the person of Wallace, who has
curbed the sugar industry in
Florida, time and again, and
whose sympathy is with the
farmers in the central states,
where he and his father before
him were born and grew up.
Clewiston, Florida, which rs only
a couple of stone throws from the
mainland part of Monroe county,
has the largest sugar plants in
the world, but what is the use of
having them if Wallace is elected
vice president and uses his in
fluence, as he did when ne was
the head of the AAA and, later,
the department of agriculture, to
curtail the sugar output in
Clewiston?

Democrat, is justified in appoint

High School Grades
Too Low --O'Bryant

''In general, the grades earned
by pupils in Key West High
School for the first six weeks in
struction of the year are very
disappointing. Entirely too many
pupils are bringing in low grades.

such cases, the youngsters are

of turning in reports for the first
