POO ne senna ae If you hear those newly-made colonels on the governor’s staff rattle the sabre, don’t be deceived.. They are not expressing anger—merely disentangling themselves from.a former instrument of war with whith they are unfamiliar. Disraeli had a regular form of re- ceipt which was sent to any writer who sent hima book asa gift. read: “Mr. Disraeli intends to lose no time in perusing the book.” ‘The intention was quite plain and _yet.left no opening for offense. Smart chap, this Disraeli. __ Af one has a lot of money and doesn’t know what to do with it, we suggest in- vesting it in a newspaper in a community where there is no economic need for its existence. Running a hewspaper as a hobby is the thost expensive imdulgence imaginable. If you don't believe it, Ask Mr, Foster. “Norman E, Mack, who died in Buffalo, N. Y., on Christmas day, visited Key West several times, each time “siting the office of The Citizen. Like Connie Mack, the baseball magnate, whose monicker is Me- ewGillicuddy, Norman E, Mack.also had. .a name hard to pronounce. and - remember. He was christened McEachran, ‘but every- body called him Mack, the first syllable of | his name, and he became officially Norman E. Mack. Last week the largest department store in Tokio, Japan, was partially de- atroyed at an estimated loss of $4,0000,000, and on Christmas day firé destroyed the El Siglo department store, largest depart: | ment store in Barcelona, Spain. Its dam- j age was estimated at $3,500,000. About 8,500 were made jobless by these fires. It is-a remarkaie coincidence that these con- flagrations attacked like businesses, prop- | rty losses almost similar, made about the { “game number jobless, and all within a week. The French journatist, Blowitz, who | died in 1908, was one of the most amazing newspaper men of all times. At a great Conference of the Powers in Berlin in the 1870's, he managed to get daily reports off to London although the meetings were in secret and he was watched every moment of the day and night. A clerk, in his pay, ‘would dine at the same restaurant with him | nightly, exchange no word with him, but on leaving each would take the other's hat, F ahs together on a peg, the hat of the clerk, of cotirse, containing in the lining a report of the day. Imagine getting away _ywith a scheme like that in these days. CANS’T THOU BEAT IT? (Publishers’ Auxiliary) Consider the editor! A child is born! ! unto the wife of a merchant in town. The j i physician getteth 10 plunks. multitude that the child tippeth the beam at nine pounds. Yea, he lieth even as a }centurion. And the proud | father giveth | him a Cremo. Behold, the young one groweth up and} graduateth. And the editor putteth in the paper a swell piece. Yea, a peach of ai notice. He telleth of the wisdom of the! young woman and of her exceeding comeli- | ness, Like unto the roses of Sharon is she, and her gown is played up to beat the band. And the dressmaker getteth two score and four iron men. And the editor gets a note of thanks from the sweet girl graduate. And the daughter goeth on a journey. And the editor throweth himself on the story of the farewell party. It runneth a column solid. And the fair one remem- bereth him from afar with a picture postal eard that costeth six for a jitney. Behold, she returneth. and the youth of the town fall down and worship. She picketh one and lo, she picketh a lemon. But the editor calleth him one of our promising young men‘and “getteth away with it: And they send unto; the editor a bid to the wedding, aut:behold the bids are fashioned in a far city. . Flowery and long is the notice which the editor printeth. minister getteth his bit. The editor printeth a death notice, two columns of obituary, three lodge notices, a eubit of poetry and a card of thanks. And he forgetteth to read proof on the dead, and the darned thing cometh out “Gone To Her Last Roasting Place.” And all that are as kin to the deceased jumpeth on the editor with exceeding great jumps. And they pulleth out their ads and eanceleth their subscriptions, and they swing the hammer even unto the third and fourth ge eine wedding The WHO WILL PAY? Who will pay the taxes after all prop- erty has been confiscated and all capital has at last found its way into the coffers of the govefnment? a The optimistic answer is that that will never happen. Probably it won’t. But we are coming closer to it than we realize. In some middle western states more than 50 per cent of the farms. have been foreclosed and are being worked by lessees, not own- ers. In some cities it is cheaper to tear a good building down than to allow it to stand—because taxes.on the structure are greater than the income it produces. In other cases it is cheaper to close a factory —because, under present conditions, re- turns are not great enough to meet the tax bill and the other running expenses. It is very easy to advocate soaking the rich to help the poor. But over-taxa- tion of capital is the surest way to pro- duce distress, unemployment, depression. When people are afraid to invest their money in producing enterprises, because of fear of increasing taxation, the country faces a crisis from unemployment and actual confiscation 6f* ‘capital and jobs by taxtion. ‘The congress: now in- session » must deal with ar unbalanced budget. The next congress will have the same identical prob- lem. Unless expenditures are reduced, there will come a time when there will not be enough taxpayers to meet government’s high cost. MODIFICATION PROBABLE The vote on the ‘repeal resolution in the house of representatives is an almost certain indication that the congress now in session will approve a modification of the Volstead Act to permit an increased per- centage of alcoholic content in beverages, with the result of legalizing a palatable and wholesome beer. There is no reason for any of the 271 | congressmen who voted for repeal oppos- ing such modification. submission was a vote against prohibition and many of those who voted against re- } peal in order to protect their own states, The editor! lwriteth a stick and a half and telleth the The vote for repeal | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN KE: WEST IN DAYS GONE BY |Happenings Here Just 10 Yeats| Ago Today As Taken From | The Files of The Citizen ater | | —— | If you were born or this | | date 10 years ago, yout birth: | | day fell on Wednesday. i | | j Governor-Eleet J.
