Tt is a costly service but newsy ant. informative, essential particularly at thé’ present time. © We thought somebody would find a way to save editorial wisdom of sleepless nights. Now we learn that Herbert Fel- kel, of the St. Augustine paper, has a dic- tograph by the side of his bed, and when he-thinks up a bright paragraph in the dark, he speaks it into the dictograph. What do those things cost, anyway ?—Pal- metto news. We have no need for one of thase things because, having a clear con- selénce, we sleep well throughout the might. Besides we seldom think up a bright paragraph, anyway. ENCOURAGING BRIDGE NEWS Ever since the bridge project was in- itiated, The Citizen has kept in close touch with all activities pertaining to it, whether they occurred in Key West, Miami, Talla- hassee, or Washington, and the dispatches this week, published in The Citizen from the last named city, have been more en- heartening than during any other similar period. Keenly alive to the fact that the peo- ple of Key West are far more interested in the bridge proposition than in anything else, The Citizen, when the sceng of activi- ties moved to Tallahassee, requested The Associated Press to supply this paper with all news concerning the proposed bridges, and, later on, when Washington became the focus of the activities, instructed its correspondent there to keep it informed about every development in connection with the application for the loan, While nothing definite has come out of Washington yet, the readers of The Citi- zen have been kept informed about every development. This week several important dispatches about the project have been published in The Citizen, and all of them have been of. an encouraging nature. Probably the most important dispatch con- cerned the appointment of the three mem- bers of the state advisory board, the nam- ing of all of whom was highly pleasing to the bridge advocates. The Citizen firmly believes we are going to get the bridges, but whether or not we get them, The Citizen feels confi- dent that its readers will appreciate its efforts to give them the news and to give it to them as quickly as it could be flashed over the wires, about every important bridge development. Frankly, the cost for that service has been a constant drain on The Citizen, but it has been money that has been spent glad- ly; indeed, we have sensed a thrill in get- ting the news, regardless of its cost, in the realization that The Citizen, as a daily paper, has constantly performed a duty it owed its readers. News dispatches about the proposed bridges, published in The Citizen during the week, have been so encouraging, Key Westers generally feel confident now that |} the loan will be obtained. However, the object of The Citizen has not been to awaken or strengthen, as the case may be, the confidence of Key Westers in the proposition: its sole ob- ject has been to give its readers the news, FRESH NEWS, as obtained from the source of activity by able and conscientious re- porters. Those reporters, or correspondents, haye not been concerned in pleasing us or our readers. Those reporters wired us the news as it was given to them. Sometimes it did not please us or our readers, but it was sent just the same, as it was the news that they had obtained. Finally, all bridge news, and there has been a great deal of it from Washington this week published in The Citizen, has been pleasing to all Key Westers, because it showed progress, without a hitch, toward obtaining a decision from the Public Works Board on the application for a loan to con- struct the proposed bridges. FIGHT ON RACKETEERS War on racketeers has been declared by the Crusaders, an organization of mili- tant young men between the ages of 21 and 45, and claiming a membership of 1,250,000. This body was first formed to agitate for repeal of national prohibition, and now that it believes this fight is won, racketeering will be the next target. According to the Crusader’s chief, Fred G. Clark, the first battle will be against corruption among officeholders. He recently said: These political racket- eers, including corrupt politicians and self- seeking public officeholders in the Federal, state and municipal governments, must be Daily Cross-word Puzzle.
