One George Wilson was sentenced in 1830 to be hanged for robbing the mails and for murder. President Andrew Jackson ‘exercised his prerogative and sent him a pardon. Wilson declined it and in- sisted. it was not legally a pardon unless he ac- cepted it. The Attorney General found the law silentlon that point and the question was referred to the Supreme court. Chief Justice Marshall gave the décision. “A pardon,” he ruled, “is a paper, the value of which depends on its acceptance by the person implicated. It is hardly to be supposed that one under sentence of death would refuse to accept a pardon, but if it is refused it is no pardon. George Wilson must be hanged.” And he was.— Tampa Tribune. KNOWING HOW TO ADVERTISE There are a good many business men who be- lieve in advertising in a theoretical way, and would say that without doubt it is a tremendous factor in building up business. But they can’t seem to find time to think out the things they want to say in an ad, and they hardly know where to begin. Yet every article in their store, if well se- iécted atid sold for a fair price, is a good subject for advertising. The prospective adver#ser need not think there is anything difficult in advertising. If he knows how to talk, he should know how to write a wood ad. If he can describe the merit of some article as he talks to a customer, he will be able equally to set these ideas of his down on paper and tell the reasons why he thinks that certain articles are worth the money which he asks for them. He will always have in his store certain lines specially suited to that particular season. The people look through the newspaper to see who is offering these articles, and they are disappointed if they do not see them described and see prices quoted. The wide awake store that responds to that desire by telling what it has to meet the needs of that special season or date, is going to be looked to as an attractve center of trade. Similarly the store needs to report the special things it has done to meet the needs of its cus. If it has bought some specially good lot at a price that it considers favorable, if it handles tomers. lines chat it considers superior, if it wants to turn | ask mother.” certain goods into cash, it should report these de velopments just as they are. “People will then say that store publishes newsy advertising, and they like to read it to see what is going on in the field | of trade, and afterward to supply their needs at | that place. Congressmen if they ‘ GREAT DREAM IS COMING TRUE The Citizen is publishing elsewhere in its columns today a brief summary of the legislative bill creating the Monroe water district, passed by the legislature and signed by the Governor in November, 1925. years past seemed to be beyond the realm of pos- sibility. Now the first step has been taken. sincerely wishes to see an ample water supply in the city of Key West should give his support un- reservedly to one of the biggest things that has | happened in Monroe county for many years. With an ample water. supply it will be pos- sible to construct hotels and apartment houses; to maintain attractive homes surrounded by flowers, shrubs and trees and it is an earnest desire of the | people of this city to assure those who come to make their homes here that the citizens of Key | West are desirous of giving them the things to | which they have been accustomed. The problem before the Board of Trustees is | a large one with numerous details to be worked | out, and it will require many days of hard and | conscientious work, or mutual agreements and con- | cessions among the parties involved before the pipe | line, heretofore a dream, becomes a reality. The citizens of Key West should cooperate with the Board of Trustees in helping to clear up the many | details which are now pressing. The board, as a responsible body with its duty to perform to the citizens of Monroe county and to individuals and companies who may supply water and provide necessary pipe lines, can not give out private conversation on matters which are subject to negotiation until such time as the matters have The men on the board are responsible citizens in whom every one should have implicit confidence. Their one. idea is to supply water to the Florida Keys as cheaply and as quickly as it can be done. been whipped into shape for final discussion. ANOTHER INVESTIGATON Bills intended to serve some constructive pur- pose frequently encounter determined opposition and meet defeat in the Congress of the United States. But a resolution calling for an investiga- tion of something almost invariably has easy sail- ing, There appears to be no limit to the amount of money Congress is willing to spend for vestigations. This was forcibly brought to the attention of the Senate a few days ago by Senator Harreld of Oklahoma, who opposed a resolution calling for an investigation of the oil industry. He stated that he had no objection to the investigation, ex- zept on the ground that it would entail a useless expense to the government. Senator Harreld enumerated a number of in- vestigations ordered by the Senate, with the amounts spent for each, showing that these had cost $8,332,593 in the past eleven years, with practical- ly no benefit to anyone. This amount does not include the Teapot Dome ‘investigation, or those made by the Federal Trade Commissiop and the several executive departments of the government. Of course, the cost to industries and firms un- der investigation was enormous, in addition to the cost to the public. While there could be no legitimate objection in- so an investigation based upon tangible evidence | a |FOR MEN WHO WORK HARD j field”? of its necessity, these are usually ordered on the mere suspicion of some member that something wrong possibly may be brought to light. Often it appears that a Senator is merely seeking a little notoriety for himself through de that something or somebody be investigated. Of course, the oil investigation was ordered, although more than $200,000 has been spent by the sovernment in six former investigations of that demanding industry in the past ten years, with no benefit to he taxpayers who paid the bill.
