It is said that opposites should marry. How about a rich guy and a gold digger? It must have taken an expert to figure out that 3.05 per cent beer would be just right. a Whatever else 1933 brings forth it is giving us the last and worst lame duck congress. Of course Cuba has freedom of speech. You can talk your head off so long as it favors Dictator Machado. There are published in the United States 2,451 daily papers. The last figure stands for The Citizen, southernmost daily paper in the United States. Governor Sholtz has reduced his own #elary 10 per centum, so that he can con- sistently ask others on the state pay roll to do likewise. Atta boy, governor. Smoking in Russia was at one time denounced as a deadly sin, based on the text in the Bible, ‘The things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man” (St. Mark VIL. 15). “The government is going to put a stop to the Santa Claus propensities that have prevailed. No more milking Uncle Sam coming and going. Government employees who have been receiving full salaries as Well"as war time compensation, must dis- “gorge. According to reports, President-elect Roosevelt is not lacking in intellectual audacity so necessary to true progress, and will-not simply repeat in parrot fashion the knowledge inherited from the past. The true leader is a few jumps ahead of the thoughts of the crowd. Germany had to call on a former Aus- trian to fill the chancellor’s shoes. Hitler, a firebrand, jew-bater and dead-set against further payments in reparations and war debts, has reached his goal. Now that he is clothed with authority, he may féeT its responsibility and lose some of his fiery wildness, but he has got himself a job no-one’ will envy. More breakers ahead for the Vaterland, ; The immigration department is mak- ing a drive against aliens, especially those who overstay their leave. A recent case in Key West was that of the Cuban colored fighter, “Kid” Chocolate, who was de- ported because he overstayed his leave the last time he was in this country. Miss Maureen O'Sullivan is being interrogated and announced later that she was leaving Hollywood. John Farrow, another movie actor, is under $2,500 bond; he also is charged with overstaying his leave. The interest in the ten most beautiful mords continues, and opinion naturally is diversified and as there is no accounting for taste there is also no accounting for the sound or music in words, They become beautiful or ugly by connotation. Many words in one language mean something quite different in another. For instance, to the English-speaking person “hell” means something terrifying, if one be- lieves in its existence, if not it means noth- | ing: on the other hand “hell” in the Ger- man language means “clear.” When in- terest in the ten most beautiful words lags, let’s hope no one will have the temerity to start a “Ten Most Ugly Words Contest.” ee THE WASHINGTON EXODUS One month hence there will be a pro- cession from Washington which will. in- clude all the victims of the late unpleasant- ness at the polls. Headed by Herbert Hoo- ver and Charles Curtis, the bombing parade will include Stimson, Mills, Hurley, Mit- chell, Brown, Adams, Wilbur, Hyde and Doak, all members of the Hoover cabinet. There is not a name in the list that will cause a shade of regret in its passing. Never has there been a more un- ! popular administration of our national af- fairs, with the possible exception of the administration that went wild from 1918 to 1920, after the illness of President Wil- son had removed the dominating spirit of that era. The names of McAdoo, Burle- son, Daniels and a few others of the mem- bers of the 1920 hegira from Washington and will readily recur to the memory. But the outgoing president and cabinet will have additional company in its re- treat. Such political supports of big busi- ness as Smoot, Moses and Watson, to- gether with a few minor lights from the senate, will accompany them back to the home firesides. The retreating forces will in addition have a long train of professional reformers to keep them company. The parade and its general direction, away from Washing- ton, will be viewed with considerable popular acclaim. The congressional lame ducks will be an added feature. FAILINGS OF THE GREAT It has become quite common of late for authors and critics to dig into the Private lives of great men, with a view to exposing their human frailties. There can be no particular objection to this, so long as it is not attempted to belittle the service these men have rendered to mankind. Every man and women has certain de- fects of character, and this has always been so. It is a further fact that some of those who have contributed most to civil- ization have been guilty of moral offenses which would be sternly condemned today. As a matter of history, many of the world’s greatest leaders have led repre- hensible private lives, as measured by com- monly accepted standards. It even may be asserted that in the case of the very high- est types of genius this has been the rule rather than the exception. But in estimating the permanent place which should be accorded these men in the esteem of the world, only the service which they rendered to humanity should be con- sidered. A recent writer well expresses this idea, thus: “Every leader must be tested not by his private conduct, but by his public be- havior. Did he serve well his day and generation? If he did, all else will be for- given and forgotten.” THE LATIN AMERICAN FUTURE In concluding an article summarizing Latin American trade in 1932, Wallace Thontpson, editor of Ingenieria Inter- nacional, says: ‘‘On the whole, the Latin American situation, with its limited num- ber of unfavorable factors and its TALY sound reasons for optimism, promises . .~. as sure a future for that great new region as it has ever offered . Latin American par- ticularly with the aoe States, is steady- ing more effectively than that of any other regional group. This trend will show ad- ditional improvement when the figures for 1982 are completed, according to Mr. Thompson. Efforts to solve the principal difficulty in our trade with Latin America, that is, the exchange and debt situation, have been started. As Mr. Thompson observes, if even a partial solution is achieved, it will result in an immediate improvement in business, with the United States in a par- ticularly good export position. It will af- ford a growing market for the products of | American factories, and, consequently, em- ployment for thousands of American work- men who are now seeking jobs. American citizens are tremendously | interested in helping Latin America. commerce, Gamblers believe in hunches.

There were 25,000 pounds of drum fish in the catch. Captain Cates reports he could have caught 50,- 000 pounds if he had known that they were marketable. The vesse! also brought 900 pounds of blue fish and 1,100 pounds of pompano.

U. S. Deputy Marshal Lopez is on the lookout for the steamship Olivia supposed to be on her way to this port. The Olivia is libeled for having sunk the government dredge Edwin R. Kimble in Sabine- Neches canal last year. Damages asked amount to $17,500. If the vessel touches this port she will be attached. The U. S. S. Hannibal, formerly a@ government collier, arrived at the naval station docks last night. She will leave for the Cuban coast for survey work accompanied by Subchasers 156 and 353. Forces of workmen under the! supervision of City Engineer Curry Moreno for the board of public works are doing grand work on the streets of Key West now. Streets are being graded and oiled and the sidewalks are also coming in for a share of attention.
