SH MOM ED none satngeee Three Month ee THE INDEPENDENT PANTS It has been said, and truly, that one can justify his questionable actions by snatching a patagraph intheBjble, though the remainder of the chapter may condemn the very thing the chance paragraph ap- parently condones. Proceeding along similar lines, The St. Petersburg Independent gobbled four pata- sgrephs from-an editorial in TheCitizen on lynching, @nd ‘then took ‘us to task as an apologist for that crime. “Evidently, it must be a habit of The Independent to Teason from a part of a 4 statement instead of from’ the whole, be- cause, in the same editorial, it quoted Presi- dent Roosevélt’s denunciation of lynching but said nothing about his *further ‘reason- | ing in seeking a cure for lynching. the rate’ ee ices for” “trom . ‘perenne’ is to be derived‘are 6 cents @ line, The Citizen forum “and sion of public issues aterest but it will oun eS 2% ae NATIONAL ADVERTISING REPRESINTATIVES 80 Park dave New ‘Yon ts east Wesker Derve, THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ‘WILL sways aeck the troth find print without fear and without favor;.mever be | | afraid to attack wrong or to spplaud tight; | always ‘fight ‘for progress; never be the-or- gan or the mouthplece of any person, clique, | faction or class; always do its utmost for the public welfare; never tolerate corruption or injrsties; 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- Pl “y ‘IMPROVEMENTS FOR KEY WEST ‘ “ADVOCATED BY THE ‘CITIZEN “Water and Sewerage. “Bridges to comiplete Road to Main- Jand.

After the president said, “We .do not "excuse ‘those in high ‘placés or in low who 4 condone lynch law,” he ¢ontinued i “But a thinking America’ goes further. It seeks a government of its own that will‘be ‘sufficiently strong to protect the prisoner and at the same time to crystallize a public opinion so clear that governments of all kinds will be compelled to prac- ' tice 2 more certain justice. The ju- , dicial function of government is the ’ protection of the individualand of ‘the community through . quick . and certain justice. That function in many places hag fallen into a sad state of ‘disrepair. It trust ‘be ‘a part of ‘our program to re-establish it.” While President Roosevelt does not pointedly say that lynching ‘or other dis- 4 respect for law is due in a large measure to the inaptitude of our courts, yet that was the inference, ‘else why his plea “to practice a more ‘certain justice”. . . “quick and’certain justice”... “That function in ‘many places has fallen into a sad-state of disrepair”. . .? The ‘central point of The editorial was that the chief Citizen’s cause. for | lynching and other disrespect for law was, to use'the President’s ‘words, “the sad ‘state of disrepair” of our courts. Truly, as the President said, ‘think- ing America goes fuither” than the act of | lynching alone; “thinking America” tries to determine the cause of lynching, the | cause of the widespread disrespect of all Yaw, and that was the object of The Citi- ‘| ven’s editorial on lynching, ‘The ‘Citizen thinks now, as: it thought }] when the editorial was written, that the | @élay in administering justice by the courts and their frequent frustration of it by ‘hairsplitting ‘technicalities are ‘the ma- jor causes of many a lynching and vir- tually all disrespect for law. And The Citizen feels it proved its point in the seven paragraphs of ‘the ‘editorial ‘which the In- dependent ‘did not quote. The Citizen’s stand on lynching was stated in the first eight words of the edi- torial, “Nobody should ‘condone, much QeSs applaud, a lynching.” : It is not The Citizen’s fault if The In- dependent’s ‘editor Gia not . understand that ‘explicit: statement; neither is it The Citizen’s concern if The Independent's edi- tor is not a part of “thinking America’ which strives to find the cause of an evil ‘candi, “hatving fount it, Iwbors ‘to end that vevil. “*<“AROOK IN: THE ‘WOODPILE {Pensacola Journal) A new party has risen in the West, and at first glance at its program, one would think it ought'to become the saviour of mankind in America. But, like many other promising ventures, it doesn’t seem to ting true to one’s sense of proportion. Under the name of the “National Patty,” its leader, a hotel man at Ocean- side, Calif., promises practically everything to everybody except the buttons off his ‘own Shirts. He would do away with de- pressions; he would abolish capitalism and ‘taxes; he would @isbar debts and bills and 4ewsuits, the rich and the poor. In short, all would share alike and avould have most of the time for leisure. ‘One reason why ‘there ‘will not be 57 “varieties of liquor regulation in ‘this coun- try is that there are only 48 states.—The ‘Washington Post. ‘The Jacksonville Times-Union tells o1 @ fellow who made some easy. money. He meeded five dollars and ‘had only four, so he pawned the four for three and then 01a the pawn ticket for two.
