Fi A new departure in newspaper pro-f‘ duction has been made in Albuquerque, N. M., where two newspapers, separately owned and editorially opponents, are published from a single plant under a joint business management. That’s an Utopian plan but it will work when both owners of separate papers are level- headed and not inordinately selfish. A simi- lar situation is prevailing right here in Key West; where in The Citizen plant the Sun- day paper, the Key West Sunday Star, has been printed for four years, but Sam E. Harris, the editor, is not a megalomaniac, aud.does not suffer from delusions of gtitideéur. It’s easy te get along with a fellow like that. Su Phe Fourth congressional district, of whieh Key West is a part, like a huge anaconda, reaches from one extreme end ofthe state to the other. The legislature whieh meets next month should remedy this situation and reapportion the state so that. the representatien in coverage will not.be so out of bounds. A! new district shwild be created and the representative at large eliminated. To form an idea of the*vastness of Representative Wileox’s domain, let the mind’s eye traverse the European countries of Holland, Belgium, Germany, France, Switzerland and Italy, and you have the distance between Jack- sonville and Key West, which comprises the Fourth Congressional district. KEY WEST IN THE LIMELIGHT There has just come to our editorial desk a copy of the “Boat Club News,” published in Detroit. This magazine, on the finest of coated paper and splendidly illustrated, evidently reaches a very high- class clientele of yachtsmen and _ boating enthusiasts, in the Middle West. The really interesting feature, however, from Key West’s point of view, is that the lead- ing article is an illustrated reprint of an article on our turtle soup industry, by George Allan England. This article, which originally ap- peared in the “Agwi News,” and reprinted in The Key West Citizen, seems to be at- tracting considerable attention. Let us hope the good work continues. Every line of publicity which appears about Key West, is just so much clear gain. Our principal problem is to “tell the world” what we have here, and we can safely trust the world to do the rest. If everybody concerned would get out and boost for Key West as strenuously as Mr. England, her adopted son, results might be more quickly aehieved—in the words of the poet, “a consummation de- voutly to be wished.” CURRENCY WAS NEEDED The total amount of money of all kinds in the United States, according to the official government figures for the year 1932, was a little more than $9,000,- 000,000. Of this $9,000,000,000 a little more than $3,000,000,000 was not in circulation, being held in reserve in the treasury. Thus the sum of about $6,000,000,000 was available for trade purposes and of this sum a considerable amount was being hoarded or locked up im safe deposit boxes for the purpose of concealing in- come returns. Allowing the sum of $1,000,000,000 to represent this inactive money and we have only about $5,000,000,000 cash of all kinds. This would mean less than $1.00 in real money for the purposes of exchange and distribution of more than $60.00 in actual intrinsic value. Ts it any wonder that the channels of trade became clogged because of lack of cash? Currency was in demand and when the demand grew in the hectic days of F #929 the public could not get it, and not understanding why they couldn’t get it, they became frightened. A liberal supply of currency would probably have helped matters at that time. STRANGE COOPERATION An odd story of cooperation between enemies was related in the House of Com- mons recently during a -debate over Britain’s attitude toward hostilities in the Far East. As reported by the Associated Press, purchasing agents representing China and Japan chanced to meet. in the waiting room of a London munitions manufacturer and during some delay in obtaining an audience with the head of the firm they engaged in friendly conversation. Finally they got te comparing the prices they were paying for war material and decided that both were paying too much. They agreed to go to the manu- facturer together and do a little ‘collective bargaining.” By putting up a united front each obtained prices about 40 per cent be- low those originally quoted by the manu- facturer. BUSINESS PROSPECTS Business prospects are decidedly bet- ter than they have been for some years past. To begin with, there is a decided re- newal of confidence in the government. Projects which have been in abeyance will be developed and the entry of the government into the field of employment of labor will have a buoyant effect. The passage of the beer bill, yester- day signed by President Roosevelt, will have a tremendous stimulative effect, re- viving an important and far-reaching in- dustry. Other industries will follow and the increase in currency circulation will help. Altogether, the outlook for the coun- try is bri¢hter than could have been ex- pected a month ago. The League of Nations, too, is wor- ried over some important holdouts this season, THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Our Gieesaidia! —How It Operates, By William Brackare THE PRESIDENT’S JOB ‘T IS quite apparent to anyone that | the job of being Président of | the United States carries with. if | something more than the honor that t attaches to that great office. ‘Those | who have observed the perform. ances of even two or three individ uals in their service as President arrive, I believe, at two trrevocable | conclusiens respecting Presidents. One of them presents a problem for j which I can offer no solution. The i other constitutes a fact that is a | glorification of a nation producing | such men. These convictions are, first, that the office of President of our na- tion is a burden too great for any one human being to bear and, sec- ond, that no person ever has served long in the office without yielding to the guidance of some impelling re- ligious philosophy, regardless: of the State of mind he had when he as- sumed the.duties. Tt was only a comparatively few years ago when-it was a common sight In Washington to see the | President strolling about the city | unattended, meeting and greeting | people. The tasks were not so on- | erous in those days. But the du- ties of the President in late years have become so complex, the re sponsibilities so great, that his work actually: never is dor * And add to the worties.of the this fact: he is never free from eriti- cism, some of which is sincere but much of which is purely for politi- cal purposes. As the nation has pushed forward and its government has capenteds | more and more responsibility rests with its Chief Executive. It has resulted in a condition wherein the | Presidency carries with it entirely too much work, The fact long has |, been recognized, but the solution is not apparent. A President has Con- stitutional obligations, and there is| io way by which he can be relieved of them. It is obvious to all that the Pres- ident cannot personally be in touch with every activity of the far-flung governmental machinery, yet he is held to account for them. He must leave them to others.” He has to he content with attempts to co-operate the whole and determine general policies, In an organization of some 700,000 persons, it is not difficult to see how unwise decisions may be reached by various subordinates, }; aud in out two-party system of gov- ériiment, the “onts” overlook no op- portunity to capitalize the mistakes of the “ins.” And so it goes, An error of an un- wise decision or a piece of malfeas- ance becomes as a snowball and grows as it rolls, The President, therefore, has to be: concerned with all of the theu- sands: of activities, and assume re- sponstbility for results without be, ing able at the same time to super- vise them except indirectly. Nor is there ever any noticeable short-") age of critics and agitators to ‘enll attention to the vulnerable’ spots. ‘ There are close advisers to the President, of course. He Bas. his cabinet, But loyal as are the cab- inet members and wise and careful, as they may he, the head of the na- tton stil} must lead. He must frame the policies relating to international affairs; he. must think clearly re- specting the nation’s economic needs; and he cannet escape the thought that from every word or deed of his flows consequences so far reaching that our nation may be, plunged Into war or its whole peo- ple may suffer the privations of “hard times.” Even further, from! the things he says or does may come’ blasted reputations qf unmerited Tiches. Perhaps it fs the constant thought of this great responsibility that makes men consult the depths of the: souls for the gufdunce that they aved, It ls # fact, nevertheless, that whatever they have done or what- ever their source of wisdom may have been prior to becoming Presi- dent of the. United States, their private thoughts during their termg of office have shown their regard for the truth as ft is imparted in one or anottier of the retigious teach- ings. Things of this sort about the Pres- ident seldom reach the people. It is one of the namerous things witch eannot become known. The Prest- dent is entitled to some privacy, though he gets very little despite all of the effort w provide i. My thought always bas heen that the President ought to bare @ lot of sympathy. Everybody is se anxious te get a glimpse of him or to talk with him that he is aot given the fime to have ® good hard-bviled grouch, however much he may feet Vike: it, It might be just as well, therefore, that the fond mother who looks apow her first-born as a President-to-be might change her hope. If'she seeks happiness for him, it may come through the homer that attaches te the Presidency, but patriotism does not prescribe that there shall be a continual rending of beart strings and a searing of souls for all who serve their country. abseribe for The Citizen—20e ie week, BOOSF8000O00O0CO OOO OOOOTSSESOSOUSHOHSOAAOERSORS ~ Daily Cross-word Puzzle. covcce © Ce cdcccccanssccsvesccocccosomesoscss Solution of Yesterday's Puzzic [4121 al Zimjal>| a u 20° Bwretling piace | 22, Mixed witty 26. 27.
