PLEA FOR RADIO SETS Secretary Hoover recently made a plea for the dgnation of radio receiving sets for use by lighthouse keepers as a means of relieving the mo- notony of their isolated lives. The appeal is a most, worthy one. Few realize the loneliness experienced by light keepers on remote coasts and islands, where weeks | and ¢ven months elapse between visits of vessels. Before the advent of the radio, there was no means whereby these temporary exiles might keep | in touch with the rest of the world, so they were compelled to make the best of the dreary existence | impoged by their occupation. A few have obtained receifing sets, but as their pay is not large, many | ° are Gnable to afford them, and itis on behalf of these that Secretary Hoover has made his appeal. There are. approximately 700 lighthouses in American waters, and it seems that the government might furnish them with receiving sets at a cost which would mean little to the national treasury. builtt—Times-Union.

In the opinion of the committee of award, each one of these men has achieved the relative rank of artist in his job. | One of them was just a hod carrier, and at least one was a day laborer. titled to no special honor. But these builders evi- dently feel that the work of any kind of an oc- | cupation, even dne that seemingly calls for the least originality, can yet be done in such a superior way | as to give better service and make the work go better. The prevailing idea in the industrial and busi- | ness world of recent years, has been simply to work for the money there is in it. A great many people, perhaps the majority, have seemed to have | no pride in their work, and they do not care wheth er they do it well or not so long as it gets by. The giving of these certificates of craftsmanship is an endeavor to‘ promote a spirit of greater pride in | all forms of work, and a desire to do them in the best possible way. Ditch digging is sometimes spoken of ay one of the crudest and humblest types of labor. ditch diggers are no doubt much superior to the rest. If a man would study how to use his muscl so as to get the greatest amount of this work done Many would say that these occupations are so ordinary that they are en- | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Some with the least amount of fatigue, and how to finish} up his work so as to cause the least trouble to his fellow workers, that man would be a kind of artis’ ditch digger who would be entitled to special honor. The achievement of men like that is noticed, and they do not have to stay long at the bottom of the ladder. We can find plenty of opportunity for them to go ahead here in Key West. GOLDEN RULE IN POLITICS A plea for the establishment of the Golden | Rule in international polities was made, by Sir Esme Howard, British ambassador to Washington, in an address to Rotary clubs at Toronto, Ontario, recently. It could apply as well also to, internal polities. y The Golden Rule, that is the doing to your neighbors and people generally’ what you would like to have them do to you, is considered by many in these advanced times, as too impractical to apply in ordinary every day affairs. And yet if it had been applied to world affairs during the last dozen years, it would have added infinitely to human happiness and saved incalculable misery. For just one item of its effect, it would have saved the World war, and all the terrible losses and suffering caused by that struggle. No war would ever have occurred if those nations had shown even a moderate desire to follow the Golden Rule. If that spirit had prevailed, would not for many years have been grasping to see which should get the most territory and trade advantages, regardless of right and justice. There might have been strenuous competition under the those nations Gokien Rule, for that rule should not be stretched | to forbid people from emulation and doing the best they can to render superior service. But it does insist that we should give our neighbors’ and al with whom we have relations, just as fair a deal as | we expect or consider reasonable for ourselves. With a little of that spirit, those difficulties over boundaries and colonies and armies and navies that caused all that disaster, would easily have be: smoothed out and settled peaceably. man who sneers at the Golden Rule is sneering at The business something that would improve his business and | make everyone happier if it could be applied uni versally. LABELLE’S LYNCHING (Tampa_ Tribune) Governor Martin acted with promptness in taking steps to keep down race dis order at Labelle. appears, from the facts as stated, to have been commendable The lynching of the negro there without even the usual provocation for such deeds of violence. There was nothing to show that the negro victim intended any offense whatsoever. He merely, according to the story, called at the back | ~ door of a residence and the lady of the house be. came alarmed, although the negro made no show of either Violence or unlawful intent.

The governor called on National Guard to the scene. Later reports indi cate that quietness has been restored. Lynching is bad enough when it has some provocation; but the Labelle case, lacking that, a blot on the good name of the state.
