He attributed the present sound econditidf{ in a considerable measure to the working of the federal reserve act.

We had a very bad one in 1920 and 1921, nd that was due principally to the fault of the peaple. They ought goods with such headlong abandon, paying. any old prices for them, as to create an abnormal and dangerous condition.

THE KEY WEST CITIZEN THE JEFFERSONIAN PRINCIPLES . a ced 1 Much note was taken this year in Democratic circles, of the birthday of Thomas Jefferson, and reverence was paid to the principles which he set forth, and which have so largely created the faith to which the Democratic party has adhered during the 138 years of its history. finding out that they must return to these essen- tial ideas, of which Thomas Jefferson was perhaps the foremost exponent. The rights of the individual man regardless of wealth or station, with special attention to the needs of struggling people, and the independence of the local community from much interference by the federal government, were the principles pro They which need strong emphasis todey, and the Demo- eratic party stands for those ideas. The present is said to be a period of great prosperity. Nevertheless, there are many people who have a hard time to get along. They find it hard to support a family, a great. many women claimed by Thomas Jefferson. ere have to become wage-earners because the men alone are not able to support their wives and children. Many of these women are’ not able to spend time enough at home to give their children suitable care. The country is still full of economic evils that | ought to be corrected, and the Democratic party | feels that its mission is to correct them. It is not | so much concerned whether the wealth;of the coun- | try is advancing as a whole, as to whether that wealth is fairly diffused among’ the ‘ommon peo- | ple. It is specially anxious for the welfare of those who have the hardest time, and it will devote it: full energies to equalizing opportunity and seeing that the under dog has a chance. AUTOMOBILE MANNERS It has frequently been remarked that auto- mobiles were ruining the manners of the American people, but perhaps some of them who are showing discourtesy did not have any to ruin. ° However, it is amazing how differently some people will behave when they get behind a steering wheel. If these same people came to a party or dance, and if thy pushed their way down the cen- ter of the room, jostling everyone in the way and perhaps knocking some of them down, treading on people’s toes, and making people jump to avoid them, they would be considered the roughest kind | of boors. , But;these people will de the same thing in a crowded street, and the public is so used to that no one pays much attention to them. And not merely do they make themselves ill mannered, but they cause many serious accidents. It seems strange that some people who are ordinarily decent enough, will yet act in such a coarse and arrogant way when they get inte an automobile. They seem to think that it is the duty of everyone to wait for them and get out of their way. If they blow their horns, they consider that they have done everything necessary. But some people become so confused by the many cars on the road and the constant hornblowing, that they | get in the path of a car coming fast from some unexpected direction, and then there may be an accident. The law is doing what it can to punish viola- tions of the rules of the road, but something also | needs to be done in the way of instructing such | They should be shown | people in good manners. that if they want to be considered gentlemen, they must behave like that type of character when they are driving cars. While women usually drive more courteously, some of them even may need such in- struction, ACCIDENTS (Morgantown, W.
