THE KEY WEST CITIZEN WILL always seek the truth and print it ‘without fear and without favor; never be aftaid to attack wrong or to applaud right; always fight for progréss; never be the or- gan or the mouthpiece of any person, elique, | faction or class; always do its utmost for thé public welfare; never tolerate corruption or injrstico; denounce vice and Praise virtue; commend good done by individual or organ- ization; tolerant of others’ rights, views and opinions; print only news that will elevate and nov contaminate the réader; never com- promise with principle, - We used to worry about getting into a rut. Now we only hope to get out of the hole. One. of the advantages when people won't speak to you is that they will surely not ask you for a loan. Someétimés a woman who boasts that she wouldn’t marry the best man in the world finally marries one of the worst. The gil who corapletely wins Edward Reynolds, of Pittsburgh, must perform a double task. Physicians have discovered that he has two hearts. Appropriately enough, the twn of Halfway, Mo., is a 50-50 proposition. The census showed that it had.a population of 100, of. which 50 were males. and.-50 females. oe a “ Sweden may be taken a3 thé model of what a political community ‘ought to ‘be. Swedish politics are seldom heard of, and therein it symbolizes their healthiness. Switzerland is another country that is gov- erned well. William Rufus King of Alabama, was duly elected vice president of the United States in 1862 and being ill, in Cuba, was there sworn into office by the American consul, byt never lived to enter upon his office in Washington, Agmy desertions fell off nearly 50 per cent in thé fiscal year 1932, according to the annual report of Major General J. F. Prestoii, inspeet8¥ general’ During these trying times a good place to eat and sleep is not to be cast off lightly. Persons with big noses are as a rule en of action. It is said when Napoleon nted any work well done, he asked for man with plenty of nose. Rostand’é no de Bergerac was a strong character did he have a big proboscis? Jimmy Ditante, the film actor with the outstand- ing\ olfactory protuberance, has his “snogzle” insured for $10,000. Without that beak, Jiminy might not have made good gm the screen. G DEBT CANCELLATION Giving attentive ear to the voice of the people, President Hoover informed debtor nations that they must pay their December installments. A temporary relief is held out to them by waiving the payment in "| gold requisite to the fulfilment of the eon- 1 tractual obligation and permitting the pay- | ment in the present depreciated currency. This coneessidn is 4 great loss to the Amer- iéan people but it can be borne, and the political leaders of both parties have ac-| quisced. While the plea has long been made that only .by a cancellation of war debts and war reparations can Europe be re- stored to economic stability, this plea seems somewhat specious in view of the persistence of these debtor nations in main- | taining huge armies and navies, and their failure to agree upon a reduction in these expensive armed forces. If the European nations will not pay, there is nothing much that Unele Sam can do about it. Certainly we are not going to war for the sake of a few billions of dol- lars. Unless the nations will meet our de- mands for armament reduction and better trade arrangements, we shall probably let the matter rest a while longer. Even holding this debt over thé heads of foreign governments may have a potent influence for world peace, because a new war would have to be financed somehow, and we would hardly lend more money for a new war.before the former one has been paid for by the nations responsible for it. EFFICIENCY —ECONOMY—SERVICE In boom times extravagant govern- ment is a luxury we can’t afford. In normal times it is a drag on indus- tty and the individual, acting as a barrier to progress that would otherwise be achieved. In depressed times, it is one of the greatest obstacles we must hurdle in the work of recovery—an obstacle creating more unemployment, more mortgage fore- closures, more husiness failures, a deeper depression. Soon congress will again convene. will have before it many bills, which will deal with the problems of de- pression. It will have as its duty the-ad- vancement of a recovery which has already started. There is no way it could be of greater service to us all than to réduce the cost of government. It ean do that without in the least harming the real, the necessary functions of government. It can eliminate useless and duplicating bureaus, archaic commis- sions, purposeless departments within de- partments, It can cut millions from the budget. Doing that would not only help’ relievé the tax burden—it would set a sorély-needed example to states and muni- cipalities, which cost us a great deal more than does the governnient at Washington. Efficiency, economy, servicc-—those ate the watchwords of progressive busi- nesses now. Théy must likewise be the watchwords of overnment, in all its branches. It PROSPERITY SUICIDES Suicides these days are usually attri- buted to hard times. Reading of them in the newspapers, one gathers the impres- sion that they have greatly increased in the past year or two and that the depres- sion is the direct cause. Statistics gathered by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Com- pany suggest something quite different. During the years of thé World War and for several yeats following it, suicide rates were well bélow the so-called normal level. The lowest point of recent decades occurred in 1920. Aw inérease in suicider began in 1925 and rose rapidly through the prosperous years 1928 and 1929. Today the suicide rate in New York is lower than it was in relatively prosperous years at the beginning of the century. Other countries throughout the world experienced the Same decrease during the war. The ex- citement and adventure apparently took people’s minds off their own personal troubles and discouragements. If that is the explanation for com- paratively few suicidés from 1915 to t925, what is the explanation for the many sui- cides of the prosperous boom years? The Survey Midmonthly suggests an answer by asking a question: “Does not social disil- lusionment as wel] as individyal adyersity lie behind the rising numbers of men and women who quit the game?” most of} THE KEY WEST CITIZEN C600 OOOOOSSSCOOCOOESOOCOHOOEOOOOCOOSSECOROOOREECE Daily Cross-werd Puzzle esecce ACROSS a Bagi ters, ne 6 ps the side of (HIOISIE! lEIVIEIR RATTiEt INJEIR| is) | | | %.
