A SENSIBLE COURT contrast with the tendency of many courts to thwart justice through setting aside convictions of erfiiinals on. trivial technical grounds, a decision of the Alabama Court of Appeals is worthy of comrjendatory notice. ‘The case of a defendant. convicted of secon’ degre§_ murder was ‘appealed on the ground that the jurors named J. Arnold Hale had an- Arnold Hale on the As a matter of fact, the juror in question one swered to the namé of A. venire. was commonly known simply as Arnold Hele and there -was no other person of that name in the country in which the case was tried. In affirming the lsntence of ‘the trial court, the Court of Ap- peals said: { “Highly technicat and captious criticisms of the fulings of trial’ eourts will not cause this court to deverse causes and grant new trials in criminal | casds, where it does not appear that some substan- | pe ©, of the defendant has been taken away him.” ae of convictions on account of insignifi cont ol clerical ertors and similar absurd technicalities | have e done much to weaken public respect for many appellate courts, As a distinguished jurist recent- ly sald: ' “tf some five hundred appellate judges in the | varig¥s states would agree to put an end to tech- nicalit? reversals, ahd would restore consideration ef thé subject of justice, the whole machinery of the ‘etiminal law would take on a new life.” SPEAK UP AND SAY “YES” Next Tuesday will be the time for the free- holders of Key West and Monroe county to speak | up and say “YES” to one of the most important question ever submitted to the representative citizens of this county in the form of a referendum. Years ago in a rural community an old church deacon who was so deaf that he had not heard it church meeting, and when a certain question to be voted on was under discussion he arose and said: “Brethren, I do not know what the question is, but I give you to understand thet I’m agin it.” And that’s the only reason any ‘one could vote anything but “YES” in the approaching referen- dum. They’re “agin” it just because they’re again it. And they would be against anything else the very game way and for the same absence of any reason. It is confidently expected that the vote will be practically unanimous in favor of’the proposi- tion, for only one or two have been heard to open- ly-express opposition to the interest guarantee clause in the Turner proposition. Should the county. ever be called upon to pay any portion of the amount of interest guaran- teed, it would be an excellent investment, for the bridges will already have been in. operation on¢ year, and will have brought about an era of progress and prosperity that will by far offset even | the full amount of the guarantee every year. Everything is waiting for the assurance that the toll bridges will certainly be built. Just as soon as that fact can be definitely known there will be a rush to this community such as has not been known since the people flocked to Klondike or to the Pacific coast in the gold rush days of long ago. Key West and Monroe county can’t possibly lose anything by voting in favor of the Turner eontract interest guarantee clause, and the future progress of this community may possibly rest on the nature of this expression at the polls. It would be a great expression of confidence in the highway and toll bridge plans to favor the yuestion unanimously at the polls, and The Citi has confidence that there will be few, if any, of citizens who will oppose this important measure. THE USE OF OUR HERITAGE In all the oratory that we have heard about American independence, the speakers have dwelt upon the wonderful heritage that has been handed on to us, and how highly favored this nation is to have all these traditions and this material pros- perity. But there is cousins about a heritage that demands good use, or it will do anyone more harm than good. The prodigal son of the Scriptures, for instance, demanded the heritage that was due him. He got it, and instead of making good use of it as he could have done, he squandered it: Not mere- ly was the money wasted, but his character was de- moralized by the low associations which the pos- session of this money obtained for him. We constantly see young people who are bless- ed with wonderful opportunities, education, money, talent. Yet if one does not use one’s opportunities aright, they bring a curse. The young person who has these opportunities and fails to make good use of them, is going to suffer a deterioration that will make such a one a less desirable character than one who never had any. It is the nature of anything that has real vitality to grow, and if it does not grow it.is de- eaying. A tree which fails to grow is not merely standing still. There is some inner decay in it that will destroy it. It is so with personal and national character. Our nation has wonderful opportunities, con- ferred on us by the sacrifice and effort of the fathers, the pioneers, and all who helped to build up our wonderful civic institutions. But many of the people do not seem to feel concerned whether | they add anything to these opportunities or not. They are like the tree that has ceased to grow. We | must constantly, through service to the community, be making additions to the opportunities given to | us, or our nation will find that it is receding in- | stead of going ahead. | COMMERCIAL AVIATION | The country was glad to learn that Edsel Ford, | when he visited President Coolidge a few days ago, was able to describe the very substantial progress that is being made in pushing commerc‘al aviation, and to know that he feels that there will be such an expansion in commercial flying as to make a large demand for airplanse. ‘ Airplane development is necessary for the United States, particularly purposes. | First, protection in case of war, and second, as an | accessory producing speed in business. It is to be | hoped that no kind of folly will ever make it nec- | | essary to use them again in war, but that can not be certain so long as human nature is as faulty as | it is now. But speed is always necessary in the | business and industrial world. The swift flight for two through the air will save many of the delays tha’ | j hamper industry. thunder in twenty years was present at an official |- | sores, | powerful | Price (liquid) | druggists. | College, Ohi: THE KEY WEST ‘CITIZEN There Seems to Be a Lot of Sign Disbelievers IOCOCOSOOOOHLS CO CEOOOCOOCOSOHSEEOVOO SOS OOS TTLOHET == 2ETODETASOSHSOSEOOZENES > LETTER BY CHARLES P.

Therefore agriculture Proposes, to deflate everything else, At two successive sessions of con- nress, the cern belt's relief measure 1as heen up for consideration, and | oth times congress has turned it town, Lower Other Prices Now corn belt senators and repre- entatives have pretty generally de- ided it is time to fulflll their threat ind launch a, tariff reduction dfive. That will be the main issue -in the coming congressional campaign, 80 far as the middle west. is concerned. The corn belt contingent, in short, will stop trying to bring farm prices up to the general level and under- take to bring the general level down to the pr of farm products. Congressional representatives from the industrial east, which thrives on protection, are considerably per- turbed at the prospect, moreover. If the Republican and hitherto pro- tectionistic corn belt flops, in the di- rection of tariff reduction, it will mean a great accession of. strength to the Democratic group which is committed to such a policy already. Free trade is practically dead even in the Demoeratic party, today, but most Democrats at least favor a ‘ower tariff schedule than the present one. East Is Worried Democrats and insurgent and corn belt Republicans combined might asily form a strong enough coali- to make radical cuts—on the commodities, of course, that the} farmer has to buy; not on those that he has to sell. The protectionists will fight this tendency hard at the. polls, but the outlook distinctly is not to their Mk- ing.
