Question now is whether Ford or the government is the strongest.—-Miami Post. Not who is the strongest, but who is right. There is a good story told of Sir Wal- ter Seott who, wanting to give a beggar something, found he had nothing smaller than.a shilling in his purse. “Here is a shilling,” said the baronet, “now remem- ber you owe me @ sixpence.” “God bless your honor,” was the reply, “may your honor live til I pay you!” and everything is in readiness for the event which is to make history for Mon- roe county. As has been stated time and again, | there will be no money involved in this bond issve in assessments against real es- “tate, the only real estate taken into con- sideration being that required for rights- of-way. Do not make the mistake of staying | L. away from the polls because of the belief that the bond issue will be carried without your vote, because every vote counts. To remain at home while the vote is being cast is equivalent to voting against it. Be sure to be at the polls on Monday, Sep- tember 18. Too much stress cannot be made upon the importance of this. Reports are favorable toward the pas- sage of the issue, with the assurance that | there will be practically a unanimous vote of freeholders taken, there is little doubt that the issue will go over. These bonds’ will place Monroe coun- ty a step nearer to the goal that she has been striving for the past several years— securing a loan for the building of the pro- posed bridges. Hopes for the loan mount with every action that has been thus taken. The Monroe County Road and Toll Bridge Commission has been working diligently to- ward that goal, and are more enthusiastic than ever over chances to obtain the loan. Tre Key West Citizen still has cdwtfi- dence that the loan will be granted, and with the passing of the bond issue Septem- ber 18, that confidence will be doubled. CONSTITUTION DAY September 17 (tomorrow) marks the 144th anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution of the United States by the coustitutional convention in ‘Philadelphia after wearly four months of deliberations. In recent years Constitution Day has been widely ubserved through suitable ex- evcises by schools, clubs and patriotic so- cieties. It is only the truth to say that the average American is by no means as fa- miliar with “his great document as he ought to be. The wisdom and foresight of its authors have been amply vindicated throughout the life of the nation. One of the highest tributes ever paid the Constitution was by the eminent Brit- ish statesman, Viscount James Bryce, who in his American Commonwealth said: “The Constitution deserves the vener- ation with which Americans have been ac- euztomed to regard it. It ranks above ev- ery other written constitution for the in- trinsic excelience of its scheme, its adap- tion to the circumstances of the people, the simplicity, brevity and precision of its lan- ‘funge, iis judicious mixture of definite SS in principie with elasticity i in details. CANCER ‘NOT INHERITED After experiments with 52,000 rats, during a period of 12 years, the Institute of Cancer Research announces the definite conclusion that cancer is never inherited. An arnouncement by the Institute says: “Cancer is a terrible disease, not only because it brings pain and death, but also because it inspires an immense amount of worry in a great many people who are nev- er going to suffer from it physically. “Tt is the people who have seen cancer attack scme member of their family whoj worry the most and without cause. It ap- pears from the research done that cancer does not start unless there is an irritation present. The germ cells which are in- herited from parents do not carry the lia- bility to cancer. “The main benefit derived from the study is that it removes the fatalistic at- titude developed toward the disease. It is that attitude which keeps many persons away from the doctor during the early stages of cancer growth, when through an early examination and treatment a life might often be saved.” | j + | bruises. | Oe Daily Cross-word Puzzle ACROSS L Strike with the palm 5, Leaflike ap- pendage of a flower 10.
