Most ‘of the hatreds, the malice, and _ all uncharitableness that disturb society is about suiniony, not about principles. ° Great Britain’s success as a colonial power, it is said, has been due largely to the practice of governing as little as pos- "s When they get that new food made from wood perfected, there will be more sense ito the sign which reads “Rooms and Board.” _ It is remarkable’how the old supersti- } evening Republican paper quoted this plia » quit a few days ago because of “embarrassing and an- | noying criticism of their work.” Those who seek unpopularity can surely find it as com- ‘pliance ‘board members, and, strangely jough, no pay is provided to salve their wounded feelings. ~ In the records of Dumfries, Scotland, dated over 200 years age, we find the fol- lowing Minute: “This kirk-session taking ‘into account the indecent and scandalous . behavior of bridegrooms in kissing their brides before asking the blessing of God upon matrimony, think fit te pass this Act, that if any of the parishoners are found practicing in this wise, they will be fined ‘half-a-crown.” > Whe Scots of Aberdeen, mindful of the: ‘old saying that a Jew cannot make a living in Aberdeen owing to the people of that city being such sharp business people, like to tell of the Jew who was returned in a) ‘census ‘paper ‘as having taken up his resi- dence in Aberdeen. iti @ave was that he had come to their city to | underworld haunts which were formerly THE KEY WEST CITIZEN WAYS OF CRIMINALS POOOOCDO CES ECOOCCROOESTELeresEers~ “s0C08F"* - Daily Cross-word Puzzle Deccccccescenecooc noes onsaseeaneeoeeceeseesepees ACROSS: Sotuti Saturday's 17.

IM their banditry. 14, Garment BI The writer cites the case of Toledo, 1 once known as béing unusually free from a underworld crime, yet all the time it was the rendezvous for safe-crackers, hold-up men and other desperate crooks. It was an unwritten law among them that no “jobs” were te be pulled off in Toledo, and although the police knew of their presence, they were not molested, because, as the chief said: “We never bother them, because they never bother us.” Finally a new police commissioner ‘was appointed, and when he learned of the situation, he ordered a clean-up. Then, to quote the article: “There were immediate retaliations. Safes began to explode like fireerackers on the Fourth. Hold-ups_ be- came as common as measles.

The crooks are scattered throughout the cities, often living in comparative se- curity in high class neighborhoods. Thus a new and serious complication of the crimi- nal problem has arisen, for which no solu- tion appears to be forthcoming. OLD TIME CAMPAIGNS . While political campaigns are still | waged with vigor, and are often enlivened | with spectacular oratory, they do not com- pare in picturesqueness and enthusiasm : with those in the old days. | Back in the nineteenth century the | campaign parade was an indispensable feature of the pre-election activities, es- pecially in presidential years. Uniformed marching clubs bearing kerosene torches, with banners and transparencies, and led by brass bands, sometimes made up proces- sions ‘miles long in the larger cities, while the smaller communities held similar rallies on a jesser scale. Tt was the custom of rival newspapers to enlarge upon the length of parades of their partisans, while depriciating those of , the opposition. The late Vice-President Marshall once ‘told of such a circumstance, in which claims of rival newspapers held a humor- | us touch. A great parade was held in Crawfordsville, Ind., in behalf of the can- | didacy of Governor Hendricks, after which, Mr. Marshall says: “In the morning the Democratic news- papers announced that it was the greatest torchlight procession seen in the city; that it took two hours to pass a given point.

According to the xeport of the sanitary in- spector several hundred have been gotten rid of in the week that the order for ridding the city of them was issued. Residents in dif- ferent parts of Key West have declared they have been able to sleep in peace the past few nights with their slumbers being undis- turbed by the howling of canines or the rattle of overturned ash cans. The dog inhabitants are rapidly disappearing and peace is returning. Editorial comment: Getting out @ paper is mo picnic, If we print jokes, people say we are silly.
