WELL, always seek the ruth and print it witheut fear and without favor; never be THE OLD ORDER It is hard to determine, ‘thie’ mental processes of a man who ‘argues i in favor of the Old Order, with its crooked bond and stock promoters that had cheated the American public out of tens of billions of dollars. The president called thejr operations “unethical,” but he could have justly em- ployed a much stronger adjective in char- acterizing them. Testimony brought out at Shdote hhear- ings showed where some stock manipula- tors made their millions without investing a penny of their own but solely at the ex- pense of the millions lost by the people | who had bought the watered stock. Other promoters got control of com- mon stock at a dollar or so a share—in one instance as low as 10 cents a share—and dumped it on the public at an advance of | several thousand percent, with the pro- moters pocketing their “earnings,” which 4 were represented by the losses.of the peo- ple. Anybody who is a believer in the Old a Order with all the crookedness and the rottenness it entailed, is welcome to his be- lief, but it would be futile for him to try to prove it is right and just to a man whose honesty is such he sees no difference in stealing from the public within or outside ithe law, Under the New Deal bond manipula- \"tors no longer can foist on the public do- IMPROVEMENTS FOR KEY WEST ADVOCATED BY THE CITIZEN Water and Sewerage.

Perhaps they really coughed up but the disgorging was kept quiet. Tt was once an English maxim that a young woman should never be married till she had spun herself a set of body, table and bed linen, and from this custom, all unmarried women were termed spinsters. According to our light, time is about the only thing that can cure depression. Artificial acceleration is superficial and not permanent. Still, we favor the contin- vance of the recovery act in the hope that some good will come of it of an enduring nature. The temporary insurance of bank de- posits which is now in progress means that should any bank which has qualified for membership ‘in what is known as the Tem-| porary Deposit Insurance fund close on or before June 30, 1934, om account of mestic r foreign bonds of questionable soundness. Under the Old Order, billions of dollars of those bonds were promiscu- ously dished out to the public, with fat commissions going to underwriters, who as- sumed no responsibility that either the in- terest or the principal of the bonds ‘would be ultimately paid. But the billions lost in bonds was lit- tle more than pocket change compared to the tens of billions lost in worthless stocks on the one hand and stocks that were worthy only a tithe of their capitalization ‘on the other. Under the New Deal those abuses of” ‘the Old Order are rooted out of so-salled high finance, for which, probably above everything else, the Roosevelt administra- tion should receive the undying gratitude of the American people. GIFT DAY JANUARY 6 While Christmas is universally cele- brated as the birthday of Christ, among the Latins the gift-giving feature of the season is.reserved for Epiphany, on Janu- ary 6. ‘ This date is observed in commemora- tion of the visit of the Three Wise Men of the East to the manger of the Christ Child to whom they brought gifts of “gold, frankincense and myrrh.” In Latin America the children are taught to expect gifts on Epiphany, and the evening before they prepare accordingly. There being no snow in those warm eountries, the children expect Santa Claus on horseback, so they provide hay for the mythical steed. Next morning they dis- cover with delight that the hay has disap- peared and in its place gifts have been left | for is § dabtbra § is widespread throughout Cuba, Puerto Rico, Haiti, and other »pan- ish-speaking countries, and i is aided by gifts, ganizations in the United States. Among the poorer class of children great joy is given by the simplest gift, such as a small bag of candy, a picture card, a bright colored toy, or other inexpensive ar- ticle. Perhaps nowhere in the world is it possible to contribute so much happiness to childhood by small expenditures as among the little ones of Latin America. MUST AND WILL The dominant aote of President Roose- velt’s message to congress was optimism, based on confidence in his people’s fair- | mindednéss in weighing his efforts to im-; prove economic conditions and their apti- tude in contending against difficulties. With such optimism coming from so beloved a leader, the President's read- justment of business and industrial condi- tions in the United States will prove suc- cessful. ing anything that depends on fature action, | Wytheville Tan KEY WEST CITIZEN COOCOCOS OCC CCCOSCCCO SERS EEE> HOEe> +- seeecees- Daily Cross-word Puzzle we, coccesegeerer seer: ACROSS 1.
