"Wouldn't it be a great joke if the ‘Philippines should demand dependence upon the United States? Trade goes where it is invited, and the best way to invite trade in Key West is through the columns of The Citizen. Senator Trammell voted to permit Senator Huey Long to continue longer with his filibuster. Believes in untrammelled freedom of speech. In most of the bread lines of the coun- try “drunks” are quickly expelled. One “Place where a fellow can’t “eat, drink and make merry.” A Scotland tax-collector was chased for two miles by an infuriated cow. The bevine must have been rather suspicious of that type’s well known “milking habits.” Did you ever stop to think that sci- entists are most of the time trying to “un- learn” what was “learned” them. Sort of obtaining a synthetic by means of a re- duction process. 4 A monkey got loose in a Washington, D. C. office recently and chewed all the | it.

It certainly has taken those well educated men and! “women a long time to realize that there | must be a “leak in the dike” somewhere .and that the only way they are going to get their salaries is to ask state officials the “why” of everything in that line. A SCENE OF DRAMA Once upon a time, as the good old} story books said, there was a burglary in! a little old country town. It was a serene sort of a burg then, nothing stirring but a | few Dobbins peacefully trotting down} street, or lazily switching their tails at the hitchingposts. A burglary was some sen- sation in that quiet picture. People asked anxiously, what to do, if some night they woke up with a bold and bad man pointing a gun at théir heads? Some days later a man was _ arrested | charged with that burglary. The amount | stolen was not large, but the excitement of | the village was intense. It took the big- gest hall in the town to hold the crowd that gathered for the trial of this case. Such a scene of drama was without known precedent in that God-fearing com- munity. The spectators, tense with excite- ment, followed every move of prosecution and defense. The emotion thus mani- fested was typical of pre-gangster days. It would have been the same in thousands of other places. Suppose we were to visit that old town today, and that someone was charged with a like offense? How much excitement would there be? Would a similar crowd pack that old hall? Not by any means. Probably the office of the local justice would accommodate all spectators for these ; proceedings. Crime is not so common in that type of community even now. But the people read about such things every day, and are hardened to them. And small towns are not free from these evil deeds. Crime has become a commonplace of life. People feel it can’t be helped, and it ceases to excite them. We must not lie down so passively under great wrongs. Our homes, schools, and churches, here in Florida must concentrate on “character building. Plant the seeds of ambition in a boy’s heart, and you choke the dirty weeds of criminal desire. 1 BACK FROM THE TOMB A weird story concerning the mother of General Robert E. Lee is told by War- field Lee, of Cattlesburg, Ky., a grand- nephew of the famous chieftain. While the incident he relates is not mentioned in historical works, he declares it to be true. It is said that Mrs. Lee apparently died after a long illness in 1806 and after lying in state in the home for several days the body was placed in the family mausoleum. On the seventh day after her supposed death the sexton entered the vault to lay flowers on the casket when he heard faint calls of “Help, help, help.” He rushed frorn the tomb, but later returned, after deciding that what he had heard was only imagined sounds. While strewing the flowers over the glass lid of the coffin he saw the lips of Mrs. Lee quiver; restoratives were ad- ministered and her rapid recovery fol- lowed. Fifteen months later Rabert E. Lee, who was to become the idol of the south, was born. His mother lived until 1829, the year in which Lee graduated from West Point. If the story is true it shows how near the world came to being deprived of one of its noblest characters. It also illustrates what caution should be exercised to pre- vent the possibility of burying anyone alive. FROM AN OLD LETTER During the Civil War a good lady of Georgia wrote a letter to the Columbus Enquirer, expressing her horror at the cus- toms being introduced by the “modern” women of that day. Extracts from the letter will give its general trend: “Tam a country woman. Have been in your city. I was shocked. I saw—you'll scarcely believe it. I saw—can hardly tell dresses held so high that you could see their underskirts all around. My country- women surely will refrain when they are informed that it is a Yankee fashion. Yankee ladies care no more about showing their knees than they do their faces, and if you indulge in this fashion, in ten years you will care no more for showing yours than they do—and in ten years more you | will be walking the streets with your faces | painted as theirs are now. Oh! be warned | in time.” \ Had the writer of that letter lived un- | til the present day she would have had | much to inspire her pen. And possibly | would have wound up by bobbing her hair and donning knee length skirts herself. 1 | | jail. THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Across 1. Soft mineral 6. City in Wis- 10.
