WHO SAID 1T FIRST?

Verify your quotations" is old advice,
but the advice is sometimes difficult to fol-
low. In the case of many famous sayings
it is hard to find out who really said them
first There are many instances of striking
phrases which have been attributed to
prominent persons who had really Dor
rowed them from others.
For example, Lincoln's reference to a
government of the people, by the people,
and for the people" Almost Identical
words were used by John Wyclffe in the
14th century, and by Robespierre, Thomas
Cooper, Joseph Story, Daniel Webster and
Theodore Parker Long before Lincoln ut
tered them at Gettysburg.
Even the Golden Rule, which appears
in two forms in the New Testament, was ex-
pressed by Confucius five centuries before
Christ. arA by other ancient teachers. I
Perhaps the most catchy phrase ever
uttered by the late William Jennings Bryan
contained his crown of thorns and cross of
gold" metaphor. which is credited with Sc
curing his nomination for the presidency in
1896. It has been and still is generally be-
Heved that the phrase was original with
BRYAN. but the Congressional Record shows
that it was spoken by Congressman Samuel
w Mccall i'm a speech several months be-
fore.
No one whose words have been APP
propriated by another could have shown
better spirit towards his imitatOr than Nc
Call showed toward Bryan in this instance.
When questioned about it later, Mccall
said:
Yes. Bryan borrowed it from one OF
niys congressional speeches. And probably
| stele it from somebody else"

WHY A LIEUTENANT?

In view of the fact that Key West
firemen and policemen are forced to wait
for months to get their pay under existing
conditions, their purpose in asking legis-
lative permission to add lieutenant to the
payroll is something of mystery.
1t appears that what most of the police
:: persion for their wives in case of their
own death or serious injury, but by tossing
'nzthe proposal for the lieutenant and by
ignoring city council, they do not seem to be
helping their cause on the pension.
City councilmen, who thought they
should have been consulted about the legis-
lative bill prepared by the fire and police
chiefs, are unlikely to do anything now to
help the pension cause along.
Neither will the many citizens who
feel that the city should cut down, rather
than increase, it's expenses until there is a
little money ir the treasury.
Police Chief Elwood, one of the signers
of the bill, has explained that with the
growth of the city, the police department
also must grow. A lieutenant, he says,
is necessary to the department at this
time.
Granting that Chief Elwood knows
what his department needs, most people.
here are of the opinion that if the city is 60
irg to grow, the best way for it to start is by
getting it's financial affairs, which are
known to be in deplorable condition,
Strengthened out to a point where there is
money available for the many improve
ments that are vitality needed.
Also in connection with the police de-
partment's need for a lieutenant, the logical
way to start getting him would seem to be
an explanation of the need to city council,
rather than a jump straight to the legls-
lature If council, in direct control of the
city, cannot see the need, it will be doubly
hard to convince anyone else.
AS far as the pension is concerned,
police and firemen should have fund set
up which would support their wives in case
of injury or death to them Whether the
three per cent deduction from their
ealaries would turn the trick is question
able. but the present law undoubtedly is
not complete as long as it does not provide
for the wives of men in their hazardous &C.
equations.

Something of this Pilgrim
spirit and fortitude is needed
among pedestrians today. All
around them are dangers, but Pc
destrians heed them not. Instead,
they cling to the out-dated idea
that they can use the streets
when and how they please, dis
regarding the fact that their ranks
are thinned by many thousands
every year." IA. '''',i
The booklet points out that H.
500 pedestrians were killed in
1910 and more than 100000 others
were injured. Of the pedestrians
killed, more than "a per cent,
and of those injured, 81 per cent
were crossing streets against the
signal, crossing between inter-
sections, or coming into the street
from between parked cars.
Such figures point once more
to the major role that human
carelessness plays in the sad
drama of the highways. They
shout the need for caution to
those who travel afoot.

Why? Because the white man
recognized danger and strove to
meet it. He learned to walk with
the stealth of his red brother, to
avoid open spaces in the forest,
to sharpen his senses. to move
quickly and surely. Then he
taught these precautions to his

In the past efforts have been made to
abolish by law the habit of tipping but it
has never been done satisfactorily. What
ever belongs to a person he has right to
give away. According to the National
Restaurant Association. tips left on tables
by American diners last year amounted to
the appreciate sum of $2000 100000. We
overdo the custom. The European method
is the better; there 10 per cent for the

Gem about how much or how little to give,
