Actor William Courtney, aged 57, ied jast week in Rye, N. Y, Old time goers of Key West who frequented rios theeter when it was a frame | building some two score years ago, may ! remember him as a child actor of juvenile | parts, being then about 12 years of age. | He wai a member of the troupe C. W. } Chase, Sr., brought to this city. Then Key West was known as a fine theater town and theatrical companies on the road were always eager to play the Island City be- caus@-of the cordial recognition of their } efforts and the packed houses sure to : greet them. Key West, even closer to the Cuban situation than Miami, senses the delicacy ‘gbired in intervention, says The Citizen, when we are “trying hard to win back the half-atineated Latin-American nations by convincing them that we have a complete Tespect for them and their institutions and * Mo inclination to imterfere.” There is little likelihood we shall hear soon that “The + Marines have landed and the situation is well in band.” The economists, the trade and tariff experts, will have the first | Dlaiite, and if they can improve business ‘eotititions for our neighbor, perhaps our ' intervention will be remembered as grate- : fully aj our military aid in '98.—Miami way, Newt a eee « THE PRESIDENT PROCEEDS President Roosevelt proceeds along the even tenor of his way, despite dark and gloomy forebodings on the part of the political leaders of the opposition regard- ing clouds of coming opposition to the ad- ministration on the part of members of congress, The president seemingly pays little or no attention to these gloomy predicters, President Roosevelt is not only a s statesman, but he is a real diplomat and knows his congressmen and senators. Not for nothing was he one of the administra- tion officials of 1914-20. He knows the typical Washington statesman and he knows how to deal with him. He realizes that the gentleman sent to Washington by his constituents must do some talking for the benefit of the home folks. He has given him the chance to do this talking. ? ? In his farm bill, the president simply offered to the senators a skeleton on which they. could hang any kind of propositioh they cared to discuss for the benefit of the farmer. Hé did not make the mistake of of- fering his own ideas. He permitted the measure to go be- fore the’senate in such a state that any- thing could be suggested. This was the wiser plan, as in this manner, the administration obtains the op- portunity of criticising the ideas of the senate, rather than having the senate criticise the ideas of the administration. President Roosevelt simply permits the senators to fight one another. The senators are quite a bit confused over the situation and don’t know exactly what to do. But out of the confusion will come a farm bill that will meet the views of the administration and the farmers, while seemingly a senate measure. Wise president! AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS Pérhaps in no other industry is there such a variety of conditions as in the news- paper business. Totalled indiscriminately, ther® are something over 14,000 ‘news- papers in the United States ranging from the smallest country weekly which prints only two pages in its own shop, with ad- ditional pages printed by a s¥ndicate, to the great metropolitan dailies which em- ploy thousands of persons each. For the smallest, probably not more than 25 pounds of paper is required each week, while the Chicago Tribune uses for one Sunday edition all the paper produced from timber grown on 240 acres of land. According to Grove Patterson, the well-known writer, the New York Times employs 3,100 persons, with a payroll of $25,000,000 a year. Hearst’s newspapers and magazines use more than $50,000,000 worth of paper a year. But in spite of the disparity between the smallest and the largest of American newspapers, the publisher of the small country weekly need not be overawed by the size of his metropolitan rival. The local newspaper has a place in the life»of its community which the great dailies can not usurp if the local publisher is alive to his opportunities and makes the most of them. paper is the best and cleanest exponent of Now, as always, the home town news- constructive journalism. A WALL-PAPER PAPER Last week The Citizen was shown a copy of its archetype The Daily Citizen of Vicksburg, Miss., printed on wall paper on July 4, 1863, the day this southern city capitulated to General Grant. Every item is devoted to the siege and other war news. Of particular interest is the last item in the paper: NOTE July 4th, 1863. Two days bring about great changes. The banner of the Union floats over Vieksburg. Gen. Grant has “caught the rabbit,” he has dined in Vicksburg, and he did bring his dinner with him. The “Citizen” lives to see it. For the last time it appears on “Wall Paper.” No more will it eulogize the luxury of mule meat and fricasseed kitten—urge Southern war- riors to such diet nevermare. This is the last wall-paper Citizen. . . . It will be valuable as . . .curiosity.
