Strange that Capone was not among the favored Morgan stock holders, “Let the people know the truth and the country is safe.”—Abraham Lincoln. Cotton mills are reported to be the busiest in four years. How busy is that? It almost seems as though one-half of life is spent correcting the mistakes of the other half. A. Waterman sells water in Palatka, Florida, and a negro named White runs a grocery store in Lakeland, Florida. ‘A fat Alabama politician’s bed col- lapsed with him the other night. He should be more careful in choosing his bunk. : ‘The first thing all these new govern- ment boards should do is to begin prepar- . ing for their investigation by the Senate next winter. “Wot” is an old, obsolete word, used in the sense formerly (I) know or (he) knows. Now used mostly as an expletive, - like “wot t’ell?” Tf they expect to reduce the cotton crop this year they may have to revive the _famous Farm Board idea of plowing un- der every third row. A prisoner playing with a prison ball team hit a home run over the fence. He went to get the ball and is going yet. One time when “over the fence is out!” Governor Gore after his inauguration can write home to his newspaper editors and tell ‘em authoritatively whether his capital is written “Puerto” or “Porto” Rico. The fame of Brigham Young, the vir- ile Mormon leader, is recalled by the recent death of Mrs. Susa Young, Gates at Salt Lake City, Utah, at the age of 77. She was the eldest of 57 children born to him by his 19 wives. One should look before he leaps and think before he.speaks. Recently the State department received from our mini- stry in Bulgaria a cable stating: “Queen has given birth to a daughter. I have con- gratulated the prime minister.” Every move to put the city, state or federal government into business cuts the taxable assets of the country on the one hand, while increasing the tax bill on the other. As tax-exempt government pro- jects increase, business opportunities of the private citizen are destroyed—also his taxable income. Why not try the experiment of social- izing all industries and let the state take them over paying 8 percent on the invest- ment. Those industries netting more than 8 percent would oppose the proposition and those making under that amount would welcome the new industrial covenant Since there are more of the latter than the former the administration would not have much difficulty in putting it over, CONFUSION e The economic statesmen at London seem to be coming around reluctantly to the opinion that the United States, after all, isn't so hopelessly confused and dumb as it may have appeared from recent state-! ments of policy. | This isn’t the only country whose at- titude at London reveais the fact that in some inportant particulars, at least, it is up in the air.. All of the nations are con- fused. Nearly all of them are stalling and suspending action along some lines until the fog clears a little more. A world situa- tion which seemed static a few weeks ago turns out to be dynamic. There are tre- mendous forces at work. Nobody wants to move counter to natural forces of revival. Everybody wants to get into natural streams of revival, if there are such—and there seem to be in this country. There might be one exception noted in this general confusion. France, alone among the big powers, has seemed to know just what she wanted, and has been very much out of patience with us because we have not fallen into line with her, but have trailed rather with Britain. But even France isn’t always right. Any nation so consistently self-centered in her inter- national policy as France has nearly al- ways been is bound to spoil even her own game sometimes. The fog will clear sooner or later. And the solution will probably come from America. We have a power of decision, and when we make up our minds we act quickly—as our domestic reconstruction moves show. TRAINS FOR COMFORT The always funny Will Rogers reached really sublime heights recently in one of his syndicated articles when he attempted to name the worst possible punishment for a traveler. He propesed that those who are accustomed to pick up hitch-hikers shall aseertain the hiker’s nationality and that those from countries which have honored their debts to this country be permitted to ride the distance proportionate with their recent payments, and that those who have paid nothing be compelled to catch a bys! Will Rogers must have felt pretty sore over the debt defaults when he penned those lines, but he probably was uncon- scious of his failure to recommend that they be compelled to ride in comfort in a rail- way coach. He wanted to recommend, not comfort, but discomfort. He specified “busses.” : But the speediest, most comfortable land transportation yet devised is not the present day railroad coach. It is the new motor - driven, rubber - tired railroad coach of tomorrow. The most comfortable bus in the world has served a good purpose if its competi- tion with the railroads is responsible for the railroad’s latest steps to increase the speed and comfort of their services which have always excelled. It is most likely that the proposed new plan of co-ordina- tion of railway services to eliminate waste- ful competition between the roads will con- tribute more than any other single cause to- ward a revolutionizing of the types of trains and coaches. NEW NAVY PROGRAM Some details of the plan to strengthen the Ameriean Navy in accordance with re- cent legislation have been made public by Secretary Swanson. Stated briefly, they are as follows: A total of 32 new vessels will be built during the next three years, including two 15,000-ton aireraft carriers, four 10,000- ton cruisers, four 1,850-ton destroyers, six- teen 1,500-ton destroyers, four 1,400-ton submarines and two 2,000-ton gunboats. For this program $238,000,000 will be made available and the work will be divided between government and private shipyards, as is customary. It is esti- mated by Secretary Swanson that 85 per cent of the sum to be expended for new warships will go to labor. It will directly affect some 16 major industries and more than 100 different mechanical trades. Lest it be thought by some that we are setting a bad example at a time when efforts for general reductions in arma- ments are being made, it may be said that even with the addition of these 32 new ships the United States will still be far be- hind the strength permitted by the London treaty, while Great Britain and Japan have built their navies up to approximately treaty strength. jeaptain of the tug reports an ex THE KEY WEST CITIZEN 00S 0OOSCCCCOOCCO TSEC TECETOLESOESOUGIOOSECOOSLIECE Daily Cross-word Puzzle Solution of Monday’s Puzzle PIATRA SIElA) Plt | ate fe Tvista] LV IN| aaa aa ZL INIT{O} 3 1.
