The Citizen urged all local civic orgahizations and public officials to get busy and go after a por- tion of ‘that one hundred’ million dollars “for the erection of a new Key West postoffice. If any action was taken in the matter, either in Washing- ton or Key West, the facts were not given out for publication. For a representative in Washington to promise to keep an eye on a proposition is far from sufficient. If the Key West postoffice had been gone after at that time in a united, vigorous and determined way and continued with increasing enthusiasm, the postoffice building for, this city might have been authorized at the session of con- gress just closed. There is some consolation, however, .in ‘the fact that the Key West postoffice building was mentioned in a general way by Congressman Joe Sears during the last hours of the session, the Con- gressional Record of June 26 quoting him as fol- lows: “Mr. Chairman, recently w paascad thé d pubic ‘ building bill authorizing the appropriation of $165,000,000, $50,000,000 of which. was to. go .to the District of Columbia. ..1 am not complaining, because I believe the Capital of. this country should have the finest buildings in the world: . I ‘simply want to call the attention of the committee to, the fact that in the fourth congressional district of, Florida there are now 16 cities that are entitled to and should have and: must ‘have public buildings which are not now taken care of. I hope’ ‘at the next session of the Congress, because: of the ‘won- from the North, East, and West into that great State, they will appreciate the:congested conditions down there. The Post Office Department has co- operated with me, and I have endeavored to coop- erate with them, but unless we, get. buildings we can not’give the service. “At Key West, Fla., ever since, 916. we: have had the site for a building but no appropriation. ; At my own home town of Kissimmee we have owned a site ever since 1913, and we only have a small inadequate rented building. Certainly something should be done to give those people the relief to which. they are entitled.” About two years ago I called the attention ¢ tite’ Post Office De! partment to the fact that Mianti; by an expendi- "ture of $20,000—now auithorized b} law, I believe; and if I am wrong, I hope the chiaitman of this committee will correct me—could complete the open temporary construction theré’ now, ‘and I tried to get,them to do so and thereby double the size of the addition at the Miami postdffice building. They practically told me that would be done, but recently I have been down at’ Miami, ‘and nothing has been done. The mail sacks are out in the open, where the rains can beat in on the mail, and the employees have to work out in’the rain, ‘and I sincerely hope that the Post Office Department will see that the $20,000 now authorized will be spent at Miami and also that like sums at Qriando, Fla., and other cities will be made and give the cit- izens at least some relief until an adequate public buildings bill can be passed. At West Palm Beach, Fla.,’we are paying something over $11,- 900 a year rent fiow, as I understand it, for a post- office building. Certainly the Government, when it can borrow money at 3 per cent, can save money by making an appropriation suffiéient to build a building at West Palm Beach and also at other cities where post-office buildings are absolutely necessary. a There is no district in the: countty, where the mail is more congested, where there is more con- *usion. where the departm nt has becn <ubject to more trouble and expense than the fourth con- gressional district of Florida. Mr. Chairman, 1 am having returned to me mail, answers to letters | I have received, and I imagine those good people down there imagine I am not attending to my du- | ties because they do not get a reply. It is not the { feult of the employees, bat it is the fault of new i clerks being sent in there, and ‘because of inade- | quate buildings and crowded and congested con- | ditions,” NO USE FOR PUSSYFOOTERS Assistant Secretary -MacNidet of the war de- | partment denounced pussyfooters in politics, peo- | ple who decline to take a clear eut position, in a | recent graduation address. It will be agreed that | we have too many of those folks. | When a man goes out for public service, he} faturally wants to get elected, and there is a | temptation for him to play politics to please spe- cial elements. But those who have gone on to | high careers in politics never did that way. The | people like to see some toes trodden on, and to | hear the squealing that results. i THE KEY WEST CITIZEN eocecccsesee eeovecceooce BY CHARLES P.

EB ng- ham gave him the idea, and Curaway e0.twisted the conversation that the Nutmeg State senator appeared to be agreeing with him that that was what really happened. ‘When one considers that the Penn- sylvania primary was a Republican primary and that Bingham is a Re- publican senator and thet Caraway is a Democratic one, it immediatcty becomes apparent how awkward this was for Bingham. However, he brought it on himself.
