Boys and girls who get that notion are not much desired in the business or social world. It | , is up to them to show that they can make good on | their own account, without help from the promi- | rence of their families. Gov. Ross’ boys set an | biibeapia that the idle children of many prominent | could well follow. PATRIOTIC DUTY OF LOYAL KRY; WESTERS It is the patriotic duty of every ‘byel citizen to vote, and an opportunity to do so ‘should be gtasped as a pleasing privilege. As a result of indifference and carelessness the usual number of citizens are not qualifying to participate in the approaching June primary, when really “there should be more than in former years. It is not to be believed that any citizen of Key West, either man or woman, would pass up this patriotic duty in order to avoid paying the paltry sum required for poll tax, but for some reason or other the people of this country are not taking the interest in election that they. should. The men seem to neglect to qualify until it is too late, and the women, who cried loud and long for suffrage, represent only fifteen per cent of those tiow qualifying, according to latest reports from the registration office. Are women less patriotic than men, or are they eighty-five per cent more eateless about the affairs of their country. than are the male citizens? In all the history of Key West and Monroe county, there has never been a time when it was more imperatively necessary to have good. and capable men in office than just at this time. It would be a very serious error to remove a good man from office, or to retain one tHat does not measure up to-every requirement, and greater would be the mistake to select a new, unsuitable and incompetent person for any office. “God give us MEN” should be the prayer of every voter who casts a ballot. It is a sacred duty devolving upon every loyal citizen, men and wo- men, to qualify, and to vote, as this is the only way that capable and desirable people can be se- lected to fill the important offices of the city, county, state and nation. For this reason it is of utmost importance: that ‘every one who can should qualify and vote. “The still stall voice within” is the safest guide in the world in‘ seeking a decision between right and wrong. Any elector who honestly and sincerely follows the dictates of his own science, regardless of influences that may be brought to bear, cannot go far wrong in casting a ballot. It is to be hoped that more speed will develop in the matter of qualifying to vote in the June primary, and that a representative ballot may be ¢ast at this election, which will be one of the most vitally ‘important political contests ever “held in Key West and Monroe county. con; OUR DEBT TO ITALY Italy is rather prominent in world affairs just how, the interest of the. United States in that Sountry ‘being chiefly concerned with the settle- ment of its war debt. The personality and policies of the Italian premier and dictator, Mussolini, are also the subject of much discussion. Without here entering into a consideration of thesé current problems, they may well remind us ‘of the debt the world owes to Italy for the part played by her thinkers, writers and artists in thscuing mankind from the decadence of the Dark ‘Aes. From the seventh until the fourteenth century was @ sorrowful period in the world’s history. Be-, tween the emperors and the popes, whose power ‘was supreme, the intellects as well as the bodies of the great mass of humanity were cruelly enslaved. Tt was truly a period of darkness—intellectual, moral and spiritual. _ About the year 1400 there arose‘in Italy that great movement known as the Renaissance, or re- vival of learning, in which was the virile germ from which all modern culture has sprung, It has been’ described as “the rise‘of a new impulse in litera- ture, the welling up of an enthusiastic delight in | freedom of thought, speech and action.” With this movement were associated the names of such great talians as Filelfo, Politian, Sealiger and other illustrious scholars, with Peru- gino, Leonardo da Vinci, Rafael, Michaelangelo and their immortal companions in the field of art. The impulse of their genius soon spread throughout | Europe and left its indelible impression upon hu- | man history. The world owes much to Italy, whose con- | tributiom to science, philosophy, literature and art | marked the dawning of a new day, after seven centuries of medieval darkness. THE POLAR EXPLORATIONS A number of expeditions are setting out this | sting te explore the regions about the North Pole. Many will raise the question what good such expeditions can do, even if they are successful. While these regions are terribly desolate of the possibilities for human comfort, no one can know precisely what treasures are concealed there. It is conceivable that there may be valuable mineral | deposits in some of the Arctic lands. Possibly at some future date means may be found for utilizing their resources of fish and land asimals. But even if such possibilities are never real- | ted in our time, these dauntless explorers give a | splendid example of hardihood. Im a soft age, it is well that some feel moved te set an example of | endurance of difficult conditions. aeeecceecce to 12 o'clock m. and from 2 o’clock | p. m. to 5 o’clock p. in. for the registration of electors for the general primary election.
