Eleven years ago The Citizen, as a re- | sult of a series of articles it published in| which Louis Mobray, one of the foremost aquarists and ichthyologists in the coun- try, pointed out what a decided asset an aquarium would be to Key West, began its | advocacy of that project and has ever since included it in the program of improvements considered as essential to the welfare of | this city. .

However, it developed that the city was not financially able to sponsor the project, but the interest created by The Citizen became so great Milton W. Curry built, at his own | €xpense, a tank in which to exhibit fish. Frem that comparatively small tank Key West was given thousands of dollars worth of publicity. Nearly every day for several weeks The Citizen ran a story about the activitiesiof a little runner that was ex- ,hibitéd in the tank, and the human inter- ‘eet.element in the-story became so gripping ) ry’s fish market to see the runner. opel rata tolerste corruption or ‘Injt'sticn; denounce vice and praise virtue; commend good done by individual or organ- ization; tolerant of others’ rights, views and opinions; print only news that will elevate and not contaminate the reader; never com- promise with principle.

Papers throughout Florida reprinted the story, and, before long, it came to the attention of Hamilton | W. Wright, who issued, through his syn- | dicate, an illustrated page story about “The } Little Runner.” That story, as Mr. Wright informed the Key West Chamber of Com- merce, was not only publiched in news- papers with large circulations in this coun- 7 | try but also in foreign papers. Later on Dr. Robert Van Deusen, } aquarist of the Fairmont Aquarium in Phil- | adelphia, came to Key West to collect fish, and he, as Mr. Mowbray had been, enthu- siastically advocated the éonstruction of an aquarium in Key West. Dr. Vian Deusen, as well as Mr. Mow- } bray, stressed the importance of the. pub- i licity Key West would get were.a first class | Aquarium built here. And now the fervent hope of The Citi- zen and hundreds of forward-looking resi- | dents of Key West is about to be realized, | thanks to the activity in behalf of an aquar- Ghandi’s greatest appeal lies in the | dint of his life and character, for as- | &eticism is still revered in the Bast. | q \..

As the aquarium will advertise Key West, there should be no question whatever about its name—the Key, West,Aquarium. It will be built with public money giv- en to the City of Key West, for the purpose of benefiting this city, and -the greatest benefit that will eccrue to the city will be identifying the aquarium by the name of Key West. ; DYING GANG RULE re (Pensacola Journal) . a It is heartening to. reaed the feport of | the Ilinoig'state’s attorney, ,Thomas Md Courtney, that organized gangs have been eee out of Chicago, and\that gang ings this the center of racketeering and other gang- ster activities that it has acquired an un- enviable reputation among American cities. Thanks to its aroused citizenry, and to the help of the federal government, | Chicago has succeeeded finally in clearing itself of this stigma. ‘There are gangsters, yet, in Chicago; there may be gang murders, too. But with Chicago's lawabiding people in active con- trol of the city, these gangsters soon would find their activities as unhealthy here as elsewhere.
