DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen “““K good record is always a valuable asset, as James Nolan of Washington can testify. Arrested for intoxication he pointed to past years of sobriety and was released with an admonition by the judge. Nolan declared he had never drunk liquor until he was tempted to thus celebrate his 81st birthday. Add to the list of recent animal heroes a 60-year-old parrot Which gave the alarm of fire to save G. C. Way’s family at Ban- don, Ore., and a police dog whose barks called rescuers for Mrs. Samuel Rush, who had fallen into a 30-foot well at Normal, Ill. Mrs. Rush found eight feet of water at the bottom of the well, but managed to cling to its sides until help came. New York scientists are experimenting with 500 juvenile delinquents in an effort to discover why bad boys are bad. The éx- perts are going on the theory that crime is due to physical or mental defects. Which seems plausible as a theory, but of little practical value unless means can be found to cure the defects, An important new process whereby anthracite may be produced from bitumin- ous coal is the discovery of C. S. Lomax, a Chicago engineer, who has a plant in oper- ation with a capacity of 600 tons a day. The process is described as one “which does if a few hours what nature has taken millions of years to perform.” An unusual instance of motherly de- votion is reported from Manchester, N. H. Costas Tergis, aged 70, was charged with selling liquor, In order to save her “boy” from the law’s vengeance, his 103-year-old mother took the blame and pleaded guilty in his stead. Another election joke ona high dig- nitary comes from Louisville. Our ambas- sador to Germany, Frederic M. Sackett, re- turned from Berlin to his old Kentucky home to vote, but upon arrival he was de- nied the ballot because he had not register- ed'in accordance with a new law passed in his absence. Henry Ford was also unable to vote this year because he had neglected to register, as well as Norman Thomas, the Socialist candidate for the presidency. The recent death of Samuel Edwards in Cincinnati at the age of 72 recalled a riot in that city in 1884, when 50 were killed and hundreds injured, and much property destroyed: The riot followed a jury’s ver- dict of manslaughter in a case in which the OPPOSING COMMUNISM Headed hy Major General Mark ‘L. | Hersey, retired, who commanded the | Fourth Division ofthe A. E. F. in France, \ the American Alliance will seek the enact- ment of pending legislation | aimed at the suppression of communistic ! activities whose object is to overthrow our | present form of government. Among the measures favored by the | Alliance are those for the expulsion of alien communists from this country; to make it a crime to advocate the overthrow of our ther investigate the spread of communistic propaganda; to prohibit the importation into the United States of products from Rus- sia or other countries in which the freedom of labor, individual liberty, private enter- property are not protected by law. It is the contention of the American | Alliance that all imports from Soviet Rus- sia are manufactured in whole or in part by forced labor, and imported into this coun- try in direct competition with free Amer- ican labor and taxpaying industries, and that it is the duty of congress to protect our people from this unfair competition. The organization is »lso in accord with the Wilson, Harding, Coolidge and Hoover policy of non-recognition of the Soviet Union. On the executive and advisory com- mittee of the American Alliance are many distinguished and patriotic citizens, includ- ing Admiral Richard P. Hobson, it. Rev. James E. Freeman, bishop of Washington; Mrs. J. D. Sherman, former president gen- eral of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs; Rabbi Abram Simon, president of the Washington Board of Education; James E. West, chief scout executive of the Boy Scouts of America, and scores of other notables. The Citizen believes their program to be in line with sound Anierican principles. ROOSEVELT’S OPPORTUNITY President-elect Roosevelt faces both a terrific problem and a wonderful oppor- tunity. His name will be written in the pages of American history as a great presi- dent or one who failed to rise to the re- quirements of a national need. The odds are greatly in favor of ac- complishment on his part, for the situation ean hardly become worse and the field for improvement is almost unlimited. He is not hampered by qualities of either ob- stinacy or belief in his own omniscience. He has always displayed a kindness of dis- position, a willingness to listen and an ability to discriminate. He has never been without opinions and very definite opinions, but he has never been arbitrary in elements of his mental composition. President-elect Roosevek is the type of man who will enhance his own accom- plishments by surrounding himself with the best intellects of the nation. He has al; ready done this in his political campaign and he will do it in his administration of the affairs of the people. His opportunity is great and those who know him best are confident that it will not be wasted. DON’T CHEER It is to be hoped that Key Westers will be content with the rebuke administered to Mr. Hoover and will refrain from gloating over either the president or those of his gupporters whose actions were founded on honesty of belief and earnestness of pur- pose. That President Hoover labored to the best of his ability in the public interest must be believed. As far as he saw the light, he followed it. He did not spare himself. Believing that he was following the best course, the repudiation his ideas have received at the polls must be a_ terrific shock to him. A political campaign such as he has waged takes its toll in wear and tear of the nervous system. Time alone will heal the hurt he has received and time alone will lessen the bitterness of the ordeal through which he has passed. It might be well for us all at this time i} to recall the immortal werds of Captain Phillip at the Battle of Santiago—“Don't cheer, boys, the poor devils are dying.” While nobody is doing any dying, it is not a time to cheer over the misfortunes of the vanquished.
