Our Country F Right or Wrong


THE PEOPLE CHOSE WISELY
In electing Millard Caldwell as their gov-
ernor for the next four years, the people of
Florida made a wise choice, for during these
parlous times we need a man at the head of
our state who is level-headed, sane and con-
servative and who will act always for the
best interests of our state and its people.


SAMUEL FINLEY BREESE MORSE
The one-hundredth anniversary of the tele-,
graph occurred last Wednesday, May 24. On
that day, congress unveiled a plaque to Sam-
uel Finley Breese Morse, an American artist
of note,, who after years of heart-breaking
experiments in working out communication
by electricity, saw his fondest dream come
true, May 24, 1844.
"What hath God wrought!" was the first
message to flash over the first telegraph line,
from the chamber of the United States Su-
preme Court in the capitol at Washington to
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad station in
Baltimore.
The store of this first great electrical
achievemeihtis niore fascinating than theli
best-selling novel. Morse, a portrait painter
by profession, was often in financial difficul-
ties which forced him to drop his telegraph
experiments. But he always returned to them.
* While he was painting a portrait of Gen-
eral Lafayette, who sat for him in the White
House at Washington, Mrs. Morse died in
New Haven, Conn. Because of the slowness .
of communication, Morse did not receive word'
until seven days after the funeral.
From then on, his struggle to perfect his
telegraph idea was unabating. A few cour-
ageous individuals backed him. Finally, in
1843, congress appropriated $30,000 to build
a telegraph line from Washington to Balti-
more. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad granted
the use of its right-of-way, and on May 24,
1844, telegraph communication became a
reality.


THE WAY TO AVOID BANKRUPTCY
More people would take more interest in
the problem of the growing federal debt if
they were told frankly that unless the solv-
ency of the government is maintained, every
war bond will be worthless. They should be
told frankly that buying bonds will not save
the country from bankruptcy. But ,there is a
way to keep out of bankruptcy-by paying
taxes and by rigid government economy.
Everyone who owns a war bond, a life insur-
ance policy or a dollar of savings has a direct
interest in this problem. It is no longer a mat-
ter for "the other guy" to worry about.
It is now estimated that before the present
war is over the federal debt may reach the
staggering sum of $300,000,000,000. If this
could be divided equally and spread over the
entire population, it would mean a debt of
about $2,300 for every man, woman and child
in the United States, a debt of about $4,700
for every person gainfully employed, and
based on four persons to the family, a debt
of $9,200 for each and every family in these
United States.
This debt cannot be passed on to the other
fellow or evaded. If the American people
value their freedom, they will insist upon
meeting the debt squarely-the hard way-
by taxation, and frugality in government.


THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME
The record-breaking flight of the Lockheed
Constellation from coast to coast in less than
seven hours is not only historic, but is a por-
tent of things to come. The performance
graphically illustrates that we will have a
more closely knit world and that we must
think in terms of time rather than space. Fur-
thermore, it proves that the United States
must be ready with the planes and with the
fliers, for what we can do, others will do.
And when this age of flight begins at the
conclusion of the war, with its rapid trans-
pQrtation of goods, materials and passengers,
where will Port St. Joe 'be without an air-
port? That is a sixty-four dollar question
that all of ..us should study carefully.

hand, there are some people down there who

the sun is like a curse,

Somewhere. in the Pacific, where.
a girl is never seen,
Where the sky is never cloudy
and grass is never green;
Where the flying foxes' chatter
robs of man his blessed, sleep,
There isn't any whiskey, and for
beer the briny deep.
Somewhere in the -Pacific, where
the mail is always late,
Where a Christmas card in April
is considered up to date;
Where we never get a payday, so
we never have a cent,
But we don't miss the money,
'cause we. never get it spent.
Somewhere in the Pacific, where
the ants and lizards play,
And a hundred fresh mosquitoes
replace the ones you slay.
So take me back to Florida; let me
roam o'er sand and shell,
For this God forsaken island is a
substitute for Hell!
