He raises virtue toa double power Now our political wiseacres may in- dulge in the pleasant pastime of guessing The south’s return'to the democratic fold proves one thing—that it wasn’t pro- hibition that induced its defection in 1928. Do you know that the Falasha, ancient community of black Jews Abyssinia, claim descent from King David. an in With 36,700,600 votes recorded, Franklin D. Roosevelt's plurality is 6,154,- 809, and 9,518 voting units still to be heard fiom. It was a glorious victory. It pays to have friends at court or in Washington. Under Californian Hoover's administration, the federal government spent some $475,000,000 in that state. While accepting President-reject Hoo- ver’s invitation to confer with him about international questions, President-elect Roosevelt let it be understood that the re- sponsibility rests upon those NOW vested with executive and legislative power. Not a chance to pass the buck. The author of “Ten Years of Wall Street” warns that although the depression will bring constructive results along many lines, increasing preductive capacity, with greater leisure, with greater*luxury indus- tries, unless controlled, may make depres- sions more acute rather than less so. President Hoover refused to consult with Governor Roosevelt by invitation con- cerning the St. Lawrence water proposition, a matter of international concern, but President-elect Roosevelt did not ignore President-reject Hoover's: proposal for «| KEY WEST’S MEDIUM How many Key Westers read The Citizen daily? The Citizen believes that Bptered at Key West, Floriia, as second class matter ' 4 conservative estimate is between 4,000 and 5,000, and here are the reasons: Time and again, The Citizen has heard of this number and that number of Key Westers who read each copy, and the sub- ject was renewed yesterday when Mavor Leslie A. Curry remarked, while in the of- fice of this paper, that eight persons read i his copy of The Citizen. The greatest number of Key Westers we have heard who read a single copy of The Citizen is 28, the depression, contribute five cents each to the weekly subscription rate, and after they read the paper, neighbors also read it, | so that the entire number totals 28. Of course, that number is on excep- tion, as is also the number that reas Mayor Curry’s copy. What the averzze is can not be determined with certainty, as there are several hundred subscribers that retain their copies in their home. Even at that, there is hardly an Eng- lish-reading home in Key West that is not reached by The Citizen, and it may sur- prise some that the term “English-reading home” includes hundreds of homes where Spanish is spoken. In normal times every family should j; subscribe for the home paper, but times are so abnormal now that the practice of | handing copies of The Citizen from house to house, after the subscribers have finished with it, is far more widespread in Key West than it has ever been. For that reason merchants who ad- vertise in The Citizen get what may be truly termed citywide circulation. “1 saw it in The Citizen” is a remark that may be heard daily in Key West, and it is heard just as much now as it ever has been, even though hundreds see the news in borrewed copies of the paper. The Citizen firmly believes that in no other way can merchants reach as many readers as are reached through advertising in this paper. Circulars may be put in every occupied house in Key West, but only a small percentage of them is carefully read, compared to the numbers of copies of The Citizen that are thoroughly read. Many persons ball up a circular and throw it away without even looking to see what it is about, many read it hurriedly and only a comparative few note closely its con- tents. The best way to reach the reader in a community is, therefore, through the medium of the home paper. In Key West The Citizen, published daily, is that medium. A POOR KIND OF SPORT Protests aye being made respecting the practice of pitting strong college football teams against weaker elevens of smaller schools, whereby the stronger teams run up scores of 50 or more to nothing. This practice is certainly a perversion of sport. It is as unreasonable as would be a ring battle between a heavyweight and a bantam. The weaker team is manhandled and trampled over in a manner which is nothing less than disgraceful. How specta- tors can get any enjoyment out of such an exhibition is inconceivable. ; It may be that players of the inferior teams are willing to undergo the drubbings they get for the sake of saying that they have played against such and such big col- lege or university, but such games are not good for sport or sportsmanship. And in the interest of the game such unequal contests should be eliminated in future. STIMULATING THE USE OF GAS The American Gas Association re- cently announced that a three-year adver- tising campaign te develop the gas busi- ness will be in operation shortly. This work will be in addition to that carried on by individual companies in their own terri- tories. Here is a campaign that will benef® the public to which it is addressed, as well as the industry whose sales will be stim- ulated. Like electricity, gas is one of man’s greatest mechanical servants. It has played a major role in the evolution of the home, and has added immeasurably to the economy, comfort and convenience of a conference at the White House to! domestic life. consider reduction of war debts, dis- armament and economic problems. Re- taliation would only have been human, but A good barometer of the degree of civilization reached by a people is found in their use of services such as gas and Governor Roosevelt is above such smallness. | electricity.
