President Roosevelt says he doesn’t expect to make a hit every time he comes to bat. That’s the kind of language you and I can understand. In understandable language he lets us know that everything he suggests may not turn out successfully, that some things he proposes are in the nature of an experiment which must be tried out and may not yield the results ex- pected. The law of averages frustrates perfection. Last week President Roosevelt added three names to the already impressive list of newspapermen he haz appointed to high positions in his administration. He named Robert Hayes Gore, publisher of three Florida papers, Fort Lauderdale Daily News, Daytona Beach Sun-Record and De- Land Sun-News, as governor of Puerto Rico. Harry B. Mitchell was nominated as a member of the Civil Sérvice Commis- sion, and William Darius Jamieson, of Towa, was named Commissioner of Patents. The latter was at one time a contributor to The Citizen with a feature letter under the caption “The Window Seat.” ECONOMY LEAGUE’S PROGRAM. Considering the purposes it has out- lined, the Eeonomy League of Key West is well named. ; ‘ If it accomplishes what it has set out to.do, it will save many thousands of dol- lars annually for the taxpayers of Key West and the rest of Monroe county. Several of the money-saving changes the league advocates have been favored by | 3, The Citizen for many years. Indeed, The Citizen has gone even further than the league by advocating the consolidation of |‘ the city and county governments. Residents of Florida will have an op- portunity at the geriéral election next year to go a step forward in the consolidation | 36, Pra; of offices, when one of the proposed con- stitutional amendments to be voted on will make, if approved, one office of the county assessor and collector. However, the aim of the Economy League is not confined to reduction in the cost of government but also to the better- ment of government and the upbuilding of the community in general. Anything that the league feels con- vineed is promotive of the interests of Key West, it favors, and that reason was what prompted it a week ago to “get behind” the scrip issue in Key West. Members of the league maintained that if business men and residents generally readily accept the scrip it will fulfil in every way the requirement of money in local trading. Money is purchasing power, and if scrip is given that power it is just as good as real money, and should it be so viewed it would add materially to business by in- creasing the amount of money in circula- tion in the community. But the thing advocated by the league that will help Key West more than any other activity is the determination to put an end to the widespread practice in this eommunity of buying from mail-order houses. Every member ef the league has pledged himself not to buy anything out of Key West that can be purchased here. If that pledge is kept, it will unquestion- ably mean a decided revival in business in Key West, because the league’s member- ship now. numbers approximately 100, which means, in the immediate ‘families along, the purchasing power of 400 or 500 people. It should be borne in mind also that each member will not only do all the pur- chasing he can in Key West but also will try to influence others to do likewise. Another thing that should be con- sidered is that the league has enlisted a membership of 100 in three months and in continually striving to add to that mem- bership residents who have the welfare of the community at heart and are willing to work to promote that Welfare. The Citizen has fought for years against mail-order houses and has pleaded with the people of Key West to patronize home trade. If that object is attained by the league, it should receive the whole- hearted commendation of the community, ‘because if Key Westers keep their money at home by trading at home.there will be no hard*times in Key West now or at any other time. x GANDHI TO FAST AGAIN From his Yeroda jail cell in Poona, India, the fanatical Mahatma Gandhi an- nounces that he will impose another fast upon himself this month. He says he will abstain from food three weeks as “a pro- vess of self purification.” No specific demands are made upon the British government the granting of which would cause him to abandon his fast, it is said. Last September he broke his fast after about a week when the British agreed to some of his proposals with respect to the status of certain low- caste natives of India. This time he seems to intend to starve himself on general principles. To those unacquainted with the work- ings of the Oriental mind Gandhi's attitude and his whole career are mystifying, al- though his sincere desire to aid India’s unfortunate millions is not doubted. Oc- cidentals are usually not so keen to be- come martyrs. Either as an international good will gesture, or as a tribute to a charming per- sonality—or both—Mlle.
