The Topic urges M. V. Simpson to leave the County Commission and seek a seat in the Florida House. Proponents cite his record guiding Lake County road programs and bond issues and argue his leadership is needed in Tallahassee to advance reforms and counter West Florida conservatism.
A collage of reflections on marriage pride prohibition and social manners. The writer contrasts stubbornness and self restraint with the ruinous dam of words and the toll of silence, then mocks attitudes toward drink stereotypes and gendered expectations.
A humorous column notes Mrs. Henry Moscowitz in New York as Governor Smith’s ally who argues women lack male intellect. It contrasts with Mrs. Joseph Baur of Chicago, who blamed women for her congressional loss, while suggesting women resist a souring of political effort and prefer “taffy.”
Dr. W. J. Callaghan of Nashville reshaped the postal service by advertising and public education. In two years his system boosted efficiency by fifty percent and cut expenses, saving about sixty thousand dollars in aid. He used slogans Mail Early and Often Replace Waste with Thrift Be Sure There is a Return Address on Your Mail to rally cooperation and improve service.
The author extols J. C. Penny for promoting farming in Florida, praising Emmadine Farms in New York and Penny’s stock, management, and humane treatment of workers. The piece contrasts Penny’s success with a cautionary note on everyday hazards and insurance themes sparked by stories of Bobby Veach’s fall and death.
In the mental world the little crisis stuns. Most of us can meet the big tragedy, the big experience, with poise. But lives are wrecked on decisions and taut nerves born of pseudo crisis.
The death of Alton B Parker in New York last Monday removes a man longtime in state politics. He ran against Theodore Roosevelt for the presidency, was decisively beaten, and retired from active political life years ago. Reminiscences of a former presidential candidate follow.
The piece recounts Parker, a Kingston lawyer and longtime Hill ally, rising to chair the New York Democratic state committee and secure Hill’s 1898 presidential endorsement, then failing to energize voters against Bryan in 1904 and 1912. It notes Tammany Hall opposition and Parker’s cool, polemical style, ending with his 1912 Baltimore convention defeat driven by Wilson and James.
President Coolidge and King George plan a radio phone discussion to calm tensions in a quiet zone message. An upbeat, garrulous evening is promised as the two leaders converse on air and promise cooperation.
A man speaks softly to his wife while erupting at the umpire, his calm tone contrasting with lethal heat as the confrontation escalates in a tense moment. The incident centers on the spectator or participant’s behavior during a game.
