July Fourth in many communities, was that the towns- | people of such places took no interest in having a celebration of the better type. The tradition had béen established that there were to be doings on that day to please the young people, and if nothing was arranged in the way of a pleasing public cele- bration, the younger element would have their own kind of a good time, which was commonly a law- less one. 3 ? The birthday of the American nation is a big event, and if it is passed unnoticed, it suggests some lack of public spirit. The kid who is training to win the footraces is not apt to sit up all night exploding fireworks | and menacing the town with his bonfires, And the good old custom of the Fourth of July oration should not be neglected. Some good speechifier is | always willing to talk about this grand country. HAVANA-MIAM}) EXCURSIONS, The excursions that have for some time been | operated from Miami to ‘Havana have served a splendid purpose that is pleasing and beneficial in many ways. Many Americans have taken advantage of the reduced rates to' visit the Island+Republic, of Cuba. These visits have given the two peoples a better understanding of each other and have made more | cordial the feeling of friendship between the two countries. Americans have had good times in Cuba as a_result of these excursions. They have spent a large amount of American money ' entertainment’ and amusement and many.) have made large investments there. In this way these excursions have been of iftcaleulable benefit to the city of Havana and to Cuba at large in a social as well as a financial way. But up to the present time these @xéursions have, only been going one way—from Miami to Havana. The splendid spirit of ‘reciprotity, gen- erally characteristic of the illustrious Cubans and people in geneyal of the Island ‘Republic, seems to have been sleeping. But now it is different. Ex- eursions from Havana are being inaugurated, the first ohe being scheduted to passithtoagh Key West on July 2. That is as it.should be, and The Citizen has often wondered why it has ‘not been done long ago. In the future people of Cuba will be visiting the people of the states. They will enjoy their trips over here; they will spend money in this country; and America will be benefitted also as only Cuba has been in time past. That is the prop>r spirit and.a most, admir: le ;qne. Key West will be benefitted by the tourists of both countries passing through this city, for they will take sight-seeing tours during their layovers here, and with the splendid showing this city can make in every way, there can be doubt that highly beneficial results will cae £ Special arrangements should be made for the entertainment and automobile tours of the city for visitors thus spending a while in our city at fre- quent intervals. ere for: >, WOMEN WANT PEACE A dispatch from London speaks of a crusade of women for peac@ Women from all over that country recently gathered in the capital city for this purpose, and they say they are tired of the talk of politicians and diplomatists, and they want real measures for international peace promoted. Women feel about the same in this country. The politicians are so busy hustling for advantages for their own sections and districts, and achieve- ments which will give themselves or their political “payties prestige and success at elections, that they frequently fail to see that their policies may in- fringe upon the rights and privileges of neighbor nations. if If the women were running the government of the world, there would be plenty of faults in sheir operation, due to their inexperience. But one can be fairly sure of one thing, that there | would be no more wars, They would say that ft | was better to compromise and make mutual adjust- ments, and consider the welfare of the whcle world, rather than adopt those aggredsive policies | that create the jealous and angry state of mind that leads toward ithe war. 5 + It used to be considered petriotic, to insist that the United States should decide for itself what its rights were, and if any,nation failed to ‘con-| cede the said rights, then it was desirable to go to \ war to establish them. But thaf idea is contrary to | the principle of arbitration, which says that nations | would do far better to leave these questions. out | to impartial tribunals, than they would to fight | about them. | As the women gain more power in politics, they will be a force that will make for such peace- | ful settlement of disputes. The politicians who | ignore their point of view make a Setious mistake, | as the women constitute at least 4@ per cent of the registered voters already, and their organiza- tions are becoming constantly more active in- the | political field. a cae a Families too often fail to sh.rpen the knife [with which to cut extravagance, THE KEY WEST CITIZEN MONDAY, JUNE 28, 1926.
