GET THE VOTE OUT

EDITOR & PUBLISHER has the firm con-
viction that it is part of newspapers func-
ton to conduct political campaigns, or to assume
the responsibility for party victory at the polls
For the press those are tasks carrying all of the
liabilities and of the assets of political
tivity-all the blame for defeat, credit for vic
tory A newspapers duty is done when it pre-
scnts all the issues of campaign cogenty and
fairly and when it impresses upon its readers the
Importance of casting ballot on election day.
We consider that last to be of tremendous i'm
portance this year. 1t looks like job that won't
be done unless the daily newspapers do it. The
active party members will carry out their assign
ments in both camps and, judging by 1886, the
total vote should approximate 45OOO,OOO If no
more than that number are cast, the next Presi-
dent of the United States will be a minority
President like all of his predecessors. Even Mr.
Roosevelt in carrying As States in 1886 and poll
ing more than 27,40O,OOO popular votes, did not
register a majority of all American adults eligible
to vote Mr.. Roosevelts popular vote the largest
in our history, was hardly more than 80 per cent
of the more than 100000 having the franchise
This page is not the place for discussion of
political issues and We only to point out
again that the people of the United States
November 5 will PARTICIPATE in the most solemn
referer IN of the 164 years OF their independence
Theirs is the decision on whether the nation will
depart from the no-third-term tradition the first
O ortunity for that decision at tn polls. Their
verdict on that question will be historic no mat
ter how it goes 1t will be new and great
landmark in American politics
That alone is reason enough for a registration
of the largest vote ever cast by Americans 1t is
not the most weighty -eason. The United States
is the last citadel of the civil liberties which
humanity won from the tyrants two centuries ago
Those liberties have not been diminished here,
but they can be lost if the citizens of the United
States do not prize them sufficiently to use them
There can be no stronger demonstration OF the
witty of our free institutions than veteIn the
Presidential election which will register the will
of not minority but of every zeligihlas citizen
who is able to get to the polling place There can
be no greater encouragement to tyranny and
dictatorship than the apathy which anything less
would indicate.

CONFINEMENT
BY FRANK C. SCHNEIDER

Picture a room with a fireplace,
The embers burning low,
Flames casting silhouettes on the
ceiling,
Outdoors all covered with snow.
A loving wife in her chair Gro
cheting,
Your faithful dog asleep at your
feet,
Tobacco in your pipe bowl glow
ing,
Wind drifting the snow up deep.
Lying back in your chair adozing,
Dreaming of the Spring to come,
For then the ice will leave the
brooklets,
The rainbow trout commence to
run.
Soon the wife lays aside her
crocheting,
Then softly calls you by name.
She knows you think you are
fishing
A grown man. but a boy just the
same.

Before 1t Is FOO Late y

If you have a gray-haired mother
In the old home far away,
Sit down and write the letter
You put off day by day.
Don't wait until her tired steps
Reach heavens royal gate
Just show her that you think of
her
Before it is too late.
If you've a tender message
Or a loving word to say,
Don't wait till you forget it,
But whisper it today.
VINO knows what bitter mem
cries -
May haunt you if you wait?
So make the loved one happy
Before it is too late.
We live but In the present
The future is unknown.
Tomorrow is mystery
The chance that future lends
So give life's richest treasures
Before it is too late.
The tender word unspoken,
The letter never sent,
The long forgotten message,
The wealth of love unspent-
For these some hearts are break
ing,
For these some loved ones
wait.
o, show them that you care for
them
Before it is too late.

NEW. FISCAL YEAR

NEW FISCAL YEAR is now
well under way at the Key West
Art Center. The program as form
ulated by the Florida Art Prof.
ect OF the Works Projects Admin
istration cOmprehends a very
busy schedule. 1t is going for
wand under the new legal spOn-
Sor, the Florida State College for
Women. The Art Project is in
deed fortunate in having such an
excellent body as legal guardian.
Dr.. Max Bernd-COhen, we'll
known art educator and artist,
VINO Is head of the Art Depart
ment of Southern College. has
accepted the Craftsmanship of the
Advisory Committee CT the state
Wide Florida Art Project, WPA.
1t IS with most sympathetic I'M
derstancing that this official
sponsor lends assistance to plans
to make the Art Project, through
all of its unit Art Centers, of ut
most value TO the state and par
ticularly to communities where
Art CenterS are located. That
the State College has undertaken
this sponsorship is proof positive
of the fine educational accom-
pliShment Of the Florida Art
Project under the able direction
Of Mrs. Eve AlSman Fuller, state
/ supervisor. All over the state
the public school system is call
ing for more and more service
from the Art Project and its pro-
feSsional artist teaching staff.
Possibly in no state in the union
has the teaching program of the
National Project been more sue
cessful or maintained higher
standards than in Florida. There
Is al1eaIy practical evidence
throughout the state that the
local sponsors of the Art Centers
are also recognizing this fine
achievement. With their sincere
corporation and support the
whole state organization is ex-
panding. 1t is the local sponsors
with a demonstration of real in
terest in the program, who arc
making possible the Art Project
services for the communities.

DURING THE PAST

DURING THE PAST three
weeks the Art Center held a spe-
cial display to popularize the
work of artists in the Commercial
field It was entitled the prod
uctS and Processes of the Art
Center. The idea was to &C
quaint business people in Key
West with the possibilities in the
use of simple art processes such
as are used at the Art Center for
art service to public agencies.
There are a number of artists
right here in Key West able and
willing to give such art service to
private business. Since the re-
Spouse at the galleries was some
what limited. as demonstrated by
the low attendance, the Key
West Society of Artists is being
requested to arrange the display
Of these processes in a promin-
ent Duval street store window
in the near future In this way
the ideas may be better brought
directly tn the attention of bust
ness people.
