Smith, the forgotten man of the democratic party. Bridges, not bridge, is uppermost in |, the minds of Key Westers now. After the bridges are built if the thousands of visitors on their way to Cuba only hesitate in Key West it will be enough to keep us going. The scorpion, a large form of spider, in structure not unlike a lobster, is said to be the most savage of all created things: Having once, only once, been stung by one of thie critters, and a little one at that, we can factually eae the statement. Jacksonville man who has been study- ing Spanish for two months went into a Spanish restaurant the other day and or- dered a meal in Spanish. He was very much surprised when the waiter replied: *“Me no hablo Dutch.!’—Times-Union. Pro- nunciation is half a language. Prominent Cubans are seeking aan | tortasnimenia hy churches: from: whigh |. “FISHERMEN’S PARADISE” Unknown to many Key Westers, the; Florida Keys, the last fouew sor five years, } ' have been gaining continually their right- ful title as the “Fishermen’s Paradise.” How. decided will be the gain when | the long bridges are constructed? One person’s guess is as good as another’s, but the guess of any of us prob- ably would fall short of witat actually will |: come to pass. And, in dollars and: cehts,, what would .it mean to the Florida Keys if 10,000 | angleys—only. a, small number of the’ esti- | mated 18,000,000 in the. United States— yisited the keys from Key Largo to Key West every. winter? Canada and many sections of this country spend millions of dollars annually in advertising to attract anglers to try their luck in the waters there, because it. is known that much revenue is derived from devotees of that sport. The day will come, and it will be ha:tened when the long bridges are con- structed, when fishing for sport will bring Kan income of millions of dollars to- the ' Florida Keys every year. The millionaires’ syndicate that is developing Angler’s Park hat Key, Largo is. aware of that fact. and the. day is not far off when we will be keenly | alive, to. it. PRESS FREEDOM UP TO PUBLIC ¢(Jayhawker Press) F insist that a free press is a matter in ! which the people have a deeper and more vital concern than newspaper men them- iselves. A wise people demand a free press, rnot for the press’ sake, but for their own sake—the sake of their, liberties and their t perpetuity. The newspaper men can go to jail or go to digging ditches for a living—when this temporary setback to employment has passed—but a free people cannot exist without full information as to what is trans- piring in the world, a free expression of opinion, and a full and free diseussion and criticism of issues and policies. At the best ‘the elector can know all too little about the | i; momentous questions he is called upon to decide; at the best the demagogue has too great, opportunity to delude and deceive. I | would not maintain that the American press. is today the great direct leader in political thought that it once was. Its function has somewhat changed in the last 40 years. Its mission today is to give facts as-fairly and accurately as possible, to picture the back- ground, to give the public the basis upon. which fo decide. ‘Fhe newspaper is more and more becoming a witness rather than a special pleader. That is as it should be. Whether this witness is free to tell the truth depends upon the ethical standards of the court in which it appears. And that court is the court of public opinion. It’s up to the public. EXTREMES IN NATURE An. interesting. list:of the. extugmes in, natural substances was recently compiled by Professor Hopkins of the University of Illinois, in which the following were named: Radium is the most expensive, being worth about 100,000 times its weight in gold. . Platinum is the heaviest of well-known metals, being 21 times as heavy as water. but the rare métals osmium and iridium are slightly heavier. Hydrogen gas is the lightest 0: rdinary substance, having only about one-tour teenth the weight of air, but a temporary {gas produced in certain vacuum tubes is somewhat lighter. } KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY Normal Precipitation, Fs | Pe COseewoccccccoccs Happenings Here Just 10.
