Roosevelt is going forward George Allan England, returning from Key West to his summer home in New Hampshire, writes back to the Key West Citizen that he escaped the northern heat wave and aciually is cool, but in pass- ing through Virginia encountered cimex lectularious, “a kind of wingless mos- quito that lurks in beds and bites you 67 times at onée.” Isn't that libeling the mos- quito?—Miami News. = “When a ship enters the Atlantic at Fort Pierce,” says Laurie Gates, urging a southern route for a cross-state ship canal, “it goes directly into the Gulf Stream, with an-increased speed of about three miles an hour. With this added speed, a ship can travel to Diamond Shoal light off Cape Hatteras in about two hours more time than it would take from Jacksonville.” A shorter cut across the peninsula, he be- lieVes, would enable ships to make a net saving of five hours on this route from the mouth of the Mississippi to North Atlantic ports. We haven't checked up on it, but if experts keep on figuring they may find the best way of all to be to follow the Gulf Stream all the way and eliminate the camal. Orhas Key West already done that?—Miami News. REVISION OF MORALS America must revise its morals. There is no exactness in morality. The morals of one generation or of one country may not be approved by the people of another generation or another country. In any one country, however, a re- vision of morals upward is accompanied by symptoms of social disorder. , When the public rebels at the eurrent moral ¢ode there is social and economic upheaval. This country has just had such an ex- perience. We call it “depression”. Pormer President Hoover went a lit- ma deeper into the logic of the matter by THE KEY WEST CITIZER saying that the depression was due to loss | ‘ of confidence. He should have gone a step further and | said that lack of confidence is due to the } bad morals of the country as manifested in the practices of its financial, social, and political leaders. Bad morals cause lack of confidence. iness stagnation, Of course morals depend upon char- | the | acter. Hence character becomes foundation stone of eredit and prosperity. The upward trend of public. confi-| lage agaee ses dence and of business improvement just now is due, in the final analysis, to the | of President |: (Av Ga aaee ae aa 282 | Pere Te character and the morals Roosevelt. The people believe in the integrity of | his character and approve his morals. They must continue in this confidence and must’) also approve the character and the morals |: of those who are the president’s confiden- | tial advisers. HOW FREE ARE WE? It has always been the pride anid boast |. of America that it is “the home of the free.” But just how free are we? With our hundreds of thousands of federal and State laws, to say nothing of city ordin- ances, what citizen can go through a day of 24 hours without consciously or uncon- scidusly violating one or more of them? Yet, “ignorance of the law excuses no rman.” And yet, again, not one official, in a hundred is. familiar with. all. the laws. and ordinances which he is sworn to en- | force. Tt is true, of course that the ever in- ereasing complexity of our civilization— ov is it civilization? —appears to make new laws necessary from time to time. But is there any justification for the orgy of law- making, with its inevitable _accompani- ment of law-breaking, which this country has witnessed in reeent years? The most disturbing result of all this is that really serious crimes, such as mur- der, burglary, arson and the like is sel dom punished, while the ordinary decent citizen ‘is harassed in his business and in his private life by a maze of laws and bu- reaucratic regujations which require an army of officials to enforee. And at that they are not enforced. Tt looks as if we are paying a tremen- dous price for government, the principal object. of which appears to be the destrue- tion of these fundamental rights for which our forefathers fought and died. TOLERANCE GROWING Mest intormed observers will agree that in recent years a growing spirit of re- ligiows tolerance has been manifested in the world, especially in the United States. It is not unusual to find Protestant, Cath- olic and Jewish clergymen or the same platform in aid-of some worthy movement. In recent months representatives of these three great bodies of religionists have united in mass meetings and else- where to protest against the persecution of Jews by the Hitler regime in Germany. But an incident hitherto without pre- eedent occurred a few days ago in Cincin- nati, when Rabbi James G. Heller of the Center Temple. Jewish congregation of that city was elected a director of the Cin- cinnati and Hamilton County Y, M. C. A A Jewish official of a Christian welfare society! And why not? Rabbi Helfer, ac- cording te the Cincinnati Times-Star, “has se identified himself with the commoanity life of this city thai it is quite impossible for any unprejudiced observer to compile }* a list of its eultural and religious leaders without including this distinguished rabbi among such leaders.” The Ohio Y. M. C. A. organization is to be congratulated on its religious toler- ance and good common sense. - Uy Pt tt Lack of confidence caused credit to be | withdrawn and lack of credit brought bus- |: offered the post }command.Troop I and Scoutmas- * | Methodist Church tendered a de- Crary aa8e28 ams Pear | Gl Ly, Wh aa28 de Wi Cesenroceoeee |.
