IMPROVEMENTS FOR KEY WEST ADVOCATED BY THE CITIZEN Water and Sewerage. Road to the Mainland. Comprehensive City Plan. Hotels and Apartments. Bathing Pavilion. —$—<——$————— The key to Sears’ success was Key West.— Tampa Tribune. It is noticeable also that people who are un- able to work about home do not complain of the exhaustion they suffer from dancing. It being claimed that the young people are no worse than their elders used to be, they may feel they have to behave a little worse to attract attention. Let’s see, are residents of the Island City called to “sou’wester,” or Key Neither one. They Key Westers, analogous Westerners?—Tampa Tribune. are called Conchs. During the month of May this year 60,652 more vehicles passed over the Gandy bridge at Tampa than in the same month in 1925. Is this one of the signs that Florida is slowing up? Here's a new one that may check speeding. It is called a speed whistle, and was invented by Ed- ward Slosson, of New York. It is attached to an automobile, and when the speed reaches above a certain limit the whistle emits a screech that im- mediately attracts the attention of everyone near. Mr. Slosson is making an effort to have New York state officials try it out on the highways of that state.—Jacksonville Times-Union. EQUAL DISTRIBUTION OF FAVORS The defeat of Senator Cummins in the Iowa primary is one more vigorous demonstration that the people are thoroughly weary of the standpat character of the Republican party position. This was not a personal contest. The defeated senator had shown himself willing to favor the legislation that the state wanted for relief of the farmers. It was simply a demonstration of the fact that the people of the great state of Iowa, long considered one of the most rock ribbed Republican states of the union, are clamoring for a new deal. It would have been said a few years ago, that if the Republican party could not carry Iowa, they could not carry anything. And yet the chances for the election of a Democratic senator in that state would seem very good today, in view of the fact that the Republican organization is split wide open. The Republican party has been run in too It has looked out for the great protected interests, it has shield- ed them from foreign competition, it has permit- ted these wealthy. much of » sectional and class way interests to become very prosperous and the people have not been equally well looked out for, and they have not had a fair share of this wealth. The is a suggestion that pros- perity must be more diffused, Meanwhile the masses of Iowa result and that if special favors are handed out to one element, either those favers should be passed around to all the people, or they should be withdrawn, and more of an equal share in prosperity should be granted How any optimistic Republican can really ex pect that his party can carry congress this fall 1s something of a mystery. The county is demand- ing a greater diffusion of prosperity and a more equal share of the benefits of business. If as the result of Republican divisions, a Democratic con- tress is elected, it will take the first steps toward giving the ordinary run of people a fair chance. MRS. OWEN’S EXPLANATION Citizens of Key West and Monroe county were | confidently expecting the frank and entirely sati: factory explanation made by Mrs. Owen concerning the reckless and charge uttered by James M. Carson, one of her erroneous campaign workers that there had been stealing of | votes in favor of W. J. Sears in the Monroe county primary. It was inconceivable to the good people here that Mrs. Owen could authorize any statement re- flecting upon the honor of the people and offi- cials of this county, and they are highly pleased to know that their exalted opinion of this most cstimable lady and distinguished citizen was en- tirely correct. Now that the primary is over and the political atmosphere is clarified, let's all get down to busi- ness again, and, like all true Democrats, support the nominees when the general election day rolls *round. THE OLD HOME Ruth Bryan- | It is announced that President Coolidge, in | spite of his plan to spend his vacation in the Adiron- dacks, will find time somehow to visit his old home at Plymouth, Vermont. In these days of rapidly changing ownership, he is fortunate to be able to keep and visit his old home. The great majority of our people find now- adays, that their old homes have been sold outside ' their own families, so they are no longer free to go back to the old place, and gain refreshment and | comfort from childhood’s early scenes. It is a ve sweet thing to go back to one’s early home, if one | has a reminiscent disposition, though people com- that the present seems to count far more than the past. monly move so fast nowadays FAMILY FINANCES The Federation of Women’s Clubs spent much of their recent session on the problem of making better American homes, and one of the subjects discussed was that of family finances. Money said to be the root of all evil, and the lack of it | BY CHARLES P. STEWART |... the root of a lot of trouble when it is not managed | carefully.

BATS aise Bei Caner P A CASE FOR HARD FISTS (Palm Beach Times) It is a deplorable state of affairs when re- | | | ‘pectable women can not appear on the streets of | a city alone without being annoyed and insulted | by remarks or advances of the corner loafer or motor car masher. Such conditions prevail upon the stitets of he Palm Beaches today and it is up to husbands, srothers and other men who know how to respect vomanhood to effect a remedy. Some few days ago we were given a worthy example of one way to put a stop to the activities of these male gutter-snipes. Some mother’s two-fisted son, who sat in a ocal picture show saw one of these low-brows at cempting to force his attentions upon a 14-year- old girl. He acted upon his first impulse, collared he degenerate and escorted him to the polict sta- ion. ng morning and Judge Harry Hauck did the rest. The offender was fined heavily and placed in jail for a period of days. Judge Hauck expressed tis contempt for persons such as the one whom he entenced and indicated that he would see the ‘roper punishment is meted out in his court to all similar offenders. A jail sentence and fine is almost too good for his would-be male vampire. ate violence but there are times when a hard fist an do more good in a minute than could be ac somplished by 30 days in jail.
