Perhaps in keeping with its in- habitants who have been forced to tighten their belts. ; A ministers’ association recommends ' fasting and prayer as a means of ending the depression. Prayer might help, but fasting has been going on for quite a while with little benefit. Hiram Johnson, the senator from Cali- fornia, is impelled to support a Roosevelt, be he republican or democrat. In 1912 he was vice presidential candidate with Theo- dore Roosevelt, republican, and this year he is supporting another Roosevelt, Frank- lin D., democrat, And yet the bard said that there’s nothing ina name. You simply can't depend on these bards. Those who read McelIntyre’s column “New York Day by Day”, wonder what his initials O.O. stand for, They are for Oscar Odd. But don’t call him Oscar; it makes him Wilde. He claims the initials stand for nothing and we agree with him. Those initials also come in handy during these days of depression as they seem io symbolize our present condition, and may further be used to express our feelings on the morning of the night before. ~ Seven ‘Supreme Court Justices for Florida sounds abnormal on its face. Geor- gia, with twice our population, has five. South Carolina, a half million ahead of us in population, gets along well with three. Alabama, with nearly three times our pop- ulation, has five. Listen to the big ones. How many justices have New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Illinois? Yes, seven. Upon what meat has this our Florida fed that it should grow so great judicially as to require a Supreme Court of the New York, Ohio, Iinois or Pennsylvania size? —Tampa Tribune. The Citizen would like to see an uneven number of Justices of the State Supreme Court, but instead of seven the number should be five. ciated Press te exclusive! | ly entitled to use bileation of all néws dispatches credited to | otherwise credited in this paper and also | A FINE SPEECH—BUT— We recently listened to a radio cam- | | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN | paign speech by Norman Thomas, socialist ' candidate for president.

These leaders must have power over their fellowmen, and power is an even more potent incentive than mere wealth. In the hands of unscrupulous imen it is always abused. Nowhere in the world is there a more flagrant abuse of power than in Russia, where practically eyery vestige of in- dividual liberty has been Jestroyed under the Soviets. The common people are little if any better off than they were under the tyranny of the Czars. Yet Russia _ rep- resents the very apotheosis of the socialist idea. Mr. Thomas made a fine spcech in support of a fine-sounding theory. The only weak point about it-is that it won't work, so long as human nature is what it is, PEOPLE ARE INTELLIGENT Instead of calling on the memory of Abraham Lincoln for endorsement, the political masters of the republican party might well have gone to his precepts for advice. It was Lincoln who said that the people could not be fooled all of the time. The masters of the republican organ- ization, the men who provided the cam- paign funds and took down the profits pro- vided by tariff and financial legislation, managed to fool the people from 1920 to 1932, but twelve years is a long time, even in the history of a nation. The American people are intelligent. They can reason from effects back to causes and they have done so. It took almost ten years for the volicies of the republican organization and its na- tional administration of public affairs to dissipate the profits and wealth of the American nation. It has not taken the American people long to realize what these political pro- fiteers have done to them. They are in- telligent enough in the mass for that. SOME FORCED ENDORSEMENTS Political leaders of experience in re- publican politics admit that the Hoover campaign has collapsed and that the next two weeks will see a panic on the part of | republican candidates everywhere, with many of them throwing the national ticket s : KG 3 overboard in a frantic attempt to save their own candidacies. Following the speeches of the presi- dent, both of which proved to be “duds” after the first emotional wave of sympathy had spent itself, the political leaders called on the shades of Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt to help out. Abraham Lincoln knew nothing of the type of politician in control of the repub- lican party organization of today, except that men ef the same type in his day were bitterly opposed to him. physical slavery and probably would take a stand against industrial slavery were he alive today, Copious tears were shed by many fans after a football game at Okmulgee, | Okla., recently, after Tulsa high schoo! had | | beaten the home team by a score of 14 to 0.
