Volver alla, como una limosna piadosa de Machado—duefio de vidas y haciendas en Cuba, seria aceptar el martirio de nuestra patria, donde el latigo de la usur- pacion no cesa de flagelar las es- paldas del pueblo, mientras una jeaterva de delincuentes asalaria- dos, asesina publieamente a tos cubanos mas ilustres, sin que sus autores sean descubiertos, a pesar Ide conocerlos la opinion publica. No, Sefior Artman, con Machado ly su regimen, no puede haber esa solucién de complicidad, que él jinsinua en sus diseursos vulgares, }porque el pueblo eubano, ya co- jNece muy amargamente, la insin- eeridad de sus palabras. dora,.virtuosa y heroica, enamo-' rada-eterna de la cultura y la ‘libertad, ha de emanciparse de este presente ‘que la esclaviza, sélo por la fuerza gloriosa de las nuevas ideas, que parecen hechas para recoger del ambiente e! genio i¥ la Inuz, que sin ayudes; pero sin festerbos extrafios que !o con- suman, forjara la patria nueva, por la déterminacién de los cu- i : jbanos, en quienes la libertad ha ifundido a la vez la virtud de morir’ lpor ella, y la inteligencia necesaria }para ejercitarla; de los cubanos que reunen al decoro con que su ;pueblo se edifica, el brio que de-' fiende sus derechos detentados, jpor los que han asaltado con agili-) viendas del poder. | Ud ha sabido enfoecar exac- itamente el problema politico de mi lpais.

(TRANSLATION) As a_ sincere and grateful) Cuban eitizen I want to con-) gratulate you for your understand-! ing article dated the 8th inst. en- titled “It Is Too Late, Mr. Ma- chado,” beeause in its just con-| ception, and wording you interpret} the feeling of 90 per cent of my! fellow citizens, who cannot offer to forgive and forget those who} have ruined the publie and private! fountains of richness to enrich; themselves, have maintained! prisons and pronounced death in many illegal ways. To forgive, and forget the vic- tims over the still warm blood and mutilated corpse, the agony of prisons and suffering victims, would make us accomplices to those faults. That the law be en- forced on those who are guilty, is the least we could desire. This does not mean that we are trying to cultivate hatred, nor that we stand for illegitimate poli- ties, small and passionate, sur-} rounding persons who should be! condemned. We are serving the ideas by which, from the beginning! of the past century our ancestors| fought, for so bitterly, it is for, those human ideas of liberty, as citizens! of elevated concepts, that} we have been fighting without any} material recourses even to the torturing illegality and tyrannical forces and violence have made themselves the power of Cuba. As a newspaperman who has/ never submitted to Machadoism, as' an honest newspaperman in the constant service of my country, nailed to one of the most _his- torically dark usurpations of} horror; that Latin-America has; ever had, I want to send you this in testimony of our acknowledge- ment of our high esteem for the! beautiful and eloquent demonstra- tions you have been showing as; an honorable newspaperman, from. the virile pages of “The Key West} Citizen,” and for placing your-| self im the defense of that un-) fortunate country with the pen of: a just. man. { You may be sure that in such; ideals we will not cease.

Methodist Ceities in a game of basketball played on Thursday eve- | ning at the High School gymna-! sium to the tune of 29-11. Methodist team was strengthened y the addition of Hernandez and Yates. The first half was hard-fought from start to finish. The Celtics} started off with a two-point lead, | the first and only time during the game that they were ahead. The half ended with a score of 10-7! in faver of the DeMolays. i The last ‘half, however, proved' to be disastrous to the Celtics. The DeMolays’ offensive comprised of (Johnson, Lopez and Kirschenbaum, } worked through the Celtics’ de- fense and proceeded to drop one basket after another with guards Baker and Cates proving to be a stonewall through which the Celtics offense could not filter. The Cel- ties fought hard but lacked the team work which distinguished {them in their last game. The line-ups were as follows: Celtics Pos. Keene fy E.
