Man’s final ends are ideals—always ideals. It is natural that a nutty family tree should bear a ‘‘nut.” We’re not getting “back to normalcy” —we'’re moving forward to sanity. The score of the Bighteenth Amend- ment versus Repeal is now 16 to'0 in favor of the latter. We have a balanced budget and the weak kind of beer served us now also keeps us balanced. Now that congress has adjourned the solons may have time to read some of the laws they passed. The radio crooners must have gone mighty “‘stale” the last few: days with the price of cotton going up so‘high. Well, the announcement in The Citi- zen of Governor Sholtz’ sélection of ‘the ‘members of the bridge commission, is an- other step forward. According to Ripley, Sharkey’s true name is Zukauskas, meaning black bug. He was born in Lithuania. But after Car- nera got through with Zukauskas his name | was mud. oneiiilinincatitiaged Jonah, The Citizen porter, says that it was liniment that made him smart. Some- thing made him smart, alright. Given two guesses he can tell which way the eleva- tor’s going. At the Ocala husting today, repealists are making ready to spike the guts of the antis. Both meet in battle array soon to decide the momentous question imsofar as Florida is concerned, Trying to “get” your competitor by other than fair means is a negative pro- gram which can have but a positive re- sult—failure. And the ill-will of your fellow man, without whose goodwill there can be no success, It’s a crime to’ put a 3-cent stamp on letters for local delivery after today, but not one which Uncle Sam will prosecute, though he may wink the other eye and grin in gratification. Save a cent, and you do the ha-ha-ing. One of the first things Floridians will want to see at the Century of Progress Ex- position is the Miamian wrestling an ablli- gator. This feat could have been seen near the Magic city at almost any fime, but the allurement of distance wasn’t there. It has always been the policy of The Citizen to keep its head up optimistically, not down pessimistically. Crabbing comes from a morbid mind and gets one nowhere. Smile, and the world amiles with you, weep and you weep alone, as Ella Wheeler Wilcox would say. The drys are at least consistent. When the Literary Digest poll showed a decided wet vote, they stated that the drys refrain- ed from forwarding their preference, and now that the wet vote is still preponder- ant, they accuse the drys of shirking their duty and staying at home. HAIL TO A SAFE FOURTH Independence Day of old was. cele- brated with reckless abandon. Hundreds of persoris of all-ages lost their lives play- ing with fireworks, guns and explosives. | Others were drowned or killed in motor accidents. Now, the Fourth divides cat- astrophe ‘“‘honors” with almost any week- end; except by virtue of the ceaseless ef- torts ef safety organizations and accident and fire prevention workers, it is apt to be.a shade safer. Last year, on the “morning after”, the Associated Press reported ‘119 motor ve- hicle deaths, 90 drownings, 10 fireworks fatalities and 26 deaths from other causes | —total of 245. This is disgraceful enough, | but superior to the 1931 toll of 354. No one knows the extent of serious or minor injuries, because only a fraction of them is reported. The National Society for the Prevention of Blindness estimates that 50) persons lose completely the sight of one or both eyes and that 500 more suffer minor eye injuries every year. This record is made by fireworks alone. In recognition of the chief holiday hazards, fireworks, automobiles and swim- ming, the National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters offers the following advice: drive safely; keep to the right; drive at a reasonable speed; have 500 feet of clear distance ahead before you attempt to pass other cars. Watch out for pedes- trians. If you go in swimming—swim in safe places. Things to examine are tides, cur- rents, depths, sunken debris and impuri- ties. Be sure to stay within your own limits. Wait at least two hours after eat- ing, and then take along a friend for safe- ty’s sake. If you must use fireworks—be on the alert every minute. Give yourself plenty of space. Keep them away from inflam- mable materials. Keep away from smal- ler children and animals. Cauterize all small cuts and bruises immediately—te- tanus poisoning is swift and deadly. The best advice about fireworks is: Use some- thing else. Remember all safety rules: and “All | hail to a safe Fourth!”” BUILDING’GUNBOATS Already four of the new gunboats, which will be added ‘to the navy under the national recovery act, have been allocated. One of the two-thousand-ton fighting craft is to be built at the New York Navy Yard, another at Charleston. Two submarines of 1,300 tons each are to be built at Ports- mouth. That’s a ratio of three ships for the north and one for the south, They are sources of re-employment and there will be other craft, 29 more units, aggregating an expenditure of 86 millions of dollars within the year, to be let out to private shipyards. The expenditure of 86 millions would not be justified merely to give employment. The products of a public works program should serve an economic purpose. The serious reduction of the country’s navy in recent years makes the addition of the new craft most timely. The spirit of nationalism is rampant in the world; ef- forts to arrive at international understand- ings appear to be futile. Nothing can guarantee us freedom from hostile aggres- sion by some-of the nations today except preparedness. Plans to abandon such posts of de- fense as Key West, Lakehurst and New Orleans is the rankest of nonsense. Their maintenance would fit inte the recovery program most admirably, supplying em- ployment now and bases for the new de- fense craft later. NO HALF-WAY POSITION “Hf private capital is to be encouraged to continue doing business and paying tax- es in this country, the government must re- frain from competition with that capital. If private capital is to be driven out, then the government can no longer tax it and we must completely reorganize our present system of government. There can be no half-way position on his issue.” This is a quotation from an editorial in the Burlington, Vermont, Free Press, in- spired by the Muscle Shoals bill It would be a good thing if it were blazoned in the council chambers of every legislature in theland. We are gradually drying up our sources of tax revenue through government interference and competition—and at the same time we are crying for more taxes. The logical end to such a situation is ec- onomic ruin. THE KEY WEST CITIZEN "Dp ACROSS . Measure of paper . Informal con- versation . Deadens . Not separated by any in- tervening medium .

Pancoast, president of the Miami Beach chamber of #8ettion, not enough aggressive-' chiet of engineers, commerce, was a visitor in Key West yesterday and spent the day with Dr. J. Y. Porter, Sr. He was accompanied by Mrs. Pan- coast and son Russell. Arthur Pancoast, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Pancoast, is constructing the Pan- coast Hotel at Miami Beach at a cost of $1,000,000. William Henry Gillette, region-} al consultant of the United States Publie Health Service, and Theo A. Blinn, M. D., of the Florida State Board of Health, are here and will remain for a few days putting on a health campaign for the Florida East Coast Railway employes. Lectures, moving pic- tures and other features will be component parts of the campaign.) Arriving in Key West this week were 152 aliens, mostly Hebrews and Spaniards. They are en- route to Tampa. Today, with the new quotas allowed different countries for entrance to the United States, foreigners are flock- ing to the “promised land” in search of wealth. Already sev- eral countries have exhausted their quotas according to George Schmucker, in charge of the im- migration bureau in Key West. George Cleare, known as “Bul- ly” and Stephen Maskowski, both serving a year each in the county jail for larceny, escaped today shortly before noon. This is the sixth time “Bully” has escaped. from the jail or gangs at work, and though he had a ball and chain attached, he managed to get leaving them behind.
