DARNALL, Former Editar of The Key Weat Citizen ‘“"When Fred Kowalski, “Brownsville, Tex., justice of the peace, ties a nuptial knot it stays tied. Checking up recently he found that 4,000 couples married by him in eight years only one has been divoreed, Wisconsin, long known as the Badger State, should get a new nickname, accord- ing.te Forester Tinker, whose rangers found less than 100 badgers in all the state’s forests. But they estimate that 7,- 300 weasels are running at large, so Tinker suggests that the name be changed to the “weasel state.” A force from Bolivia wearing U. S, Army uniforms recently advanced against the Paraguayans, eausing ¢onsternation among the latter, who thought Uncle Sam had joined their enemies.

Spikler refused to oo to the hospital, say- ing: “I don’t needa doctor; I need a carpenter—that leg is made of hickory.” Gambling for bibles is unusual, but it has been indulged in at St. Ives, Eng., since 1678, when Dr. Robert Wild left a { fund for the yearly purchase of bibles to be. cast for with dice by young people of the church. Formerly the ‘dice were thrown on the communion table, but. of lateranother table; placed in the chancel, has Deen used, ee New Orleans police charged that one W. C.

Withi these minor exceptions, Mr. Anderson seemed to be a pretty good guy. "Phose of us who were country boys half a.century or more ago remember compen-toed boots and shoes of those days.

Economy results from consolidation because the latter reduces overhead. What is true of general business, in that regard, is just as true of the con- solidation of civic or political interests. For that reason The Citizen is solidly behind the movement to sonsolidate the city and county governments in Key West. That longed for saving of taxpayers’ | money has been advocated editorially by The Citizen for many years, All over Florida and in other states, particularly Georgia, movements are afoot to consolidate city and county offices, and should the advocates be successful large sums of taxpayers’ money will be saved. The local movement is sponsored by Senator Arthur Gomez and Representative William V. Albury. The former will in- troduce a bill in the senate, and Mr. Al- bury will work for the passage of a like measure in the house. Judging from the present outlook, the chance of the proposed measure’s be- coming a law is excellent. Economy, with its fountainhead in the White House, is now sweeping the country in governmental matters. Year after year, this. century, the cost of government, fed- eral, state, county and city, has been mounting, and the people have deter- minedly called a halt. To what extent the protest of the public has been heard and listened to was forcibly illustrated by ‘the passage of the ecenomy measure with labge majorities in both the senate and the house. The adoption of such a law would not have been possible in congress even only a few months ago, and at no time, so far as The Citizen can recall, would it have been possible in so short a time. Had such a bill been» passed heretofore, it especially during Bs FLORIDABRINGS | 65 PASSENGERS The steamship Florida arrived from Havana yesterday afternoon} with 65: passengers, four aliens! and one automobile.

Other can- didates for office, particularly those who ran for legislatures, promised the same thing, and The Citizen believes, in view of the temper of the people, promises also will be kept. So far as the city of Key West and Monroe county are concerned, the measure proposed by Senator Gomez and Rep- resentative Albury unquestionably pro- vides the most potent manner for the re- duction of the cost of government in this city and county. Consolidation of public offices (Presi- dent Roosevelt is going to do it with bureaus) is only another term for economy in moverament, SENATE HAS CLASS The present senate holds out con- siderable hope for legislation of the right kind. It contains many men of signal ability. Some of these men were expected to jof the Associated Press (A. P.),/ hecome members of the Roosevelt c: but they are in a much better posi serve their country where they are. Such men as Johnson, Norris, Glass, Cutting, Robinson of Arkansas and Wag- ner are men of real legislative ability. In the senate they will be of the greatest assistance to the Roosevelt ad- ministration. They will keep in subjection such political nuisances as Rebinson of Indiana and Borah of Idaho.
