Everybody knows that the most south- ern city in the United States is Key West, but not many of us know that the city farthest south in the western hemisphere is Magellan and not Punta Arenas,” Good morning, dollar; how does it feel to be worth only 59.06 cents?—Tampa Tribune. Mathematically peaking just four one-hundred mills depressed; but the dieting agrees with me. Devaluation of the dollar, in effect, might be comparable to a bargain sale an- nouncement: “These dollars have been sold regularly at 100 cents; in our big de- ‘valuation sale, only 59.06 cents.” Try and get ’em at that price. —_— “Friday Night” admits that Miami is true to the traditions of Southern chivalry and politeness—it takes off its lid in the ‘Presence of visitors, Sheriff Hardie failed to observe this Miami deference and was promptly fired by Governor Sholtz. The Sunday Star insinuates that Arthur Brisbane doesn’t know much about mathematics, and devotes an editorial to explaining what undoubtedly was a “lapsus ealami” on the part of Arthur. Incidentally it gave the talented editor of The Star an opportunity to express an ardent desire to possess the “four-tenths of a mill” of the whole which Brisbane muffed in his mathe- matical calculation, On Wednesday of last | week by a squiggle of the en, President Roosevelt “Wevalued the Uollar Ana" Madea profit to the treasury of about $2,600,000,000. Not ok! | saat a 0 much mo ade by the mere stroke'of a pen. The money will be used in con- trolling the dollar’s value in international exchange and for regulating the real value of the dollar in terms of home commodi- ties. The fact that a man is chairman of the board of county commissioners does not deprive him of the privilege of voting on questions before the commission, Attorney General Cary D. Landis has ruled. “Any other ruling,” he said, “would in effect de- prive the constituents of the chairman of “Yépresentation, merely because of the fact that he is chairman.” In other words it would penalize the chairman for being chairman. Kenneth Ballinger, the Florida _ poli- tical commentator, in referring to Rep- resentative Albury, who, it is understood, though he has not yet formally announced his candidacy, will be a candidate for the Florida senate, says: “William V. Albury, that active young barrister of the island city has developed into one of the best tacticians in the legislature.” This will be pleasant reading for the friends and sup- porters of Monroe county’s valuable and popular representative. COMMENTS ON A CONVENTION (Tampa Tribune) Two observations by gentlemen of the press on the proposal for a state Demo- cratic convention do not appeal to us as tenable. The Fort Myers News-Press, while favorable to a convention, disputes our statement that the Democratic party hasn’t had a platform since 1900. The News- Press proudly points to a set of resolutions adopted in 1932 by the State Democratic Committee. The best answer to that we have seen is in the Ocala Star which points out that those resolutions were “adopted by a majority of the minority of the State Committee, fewer representative delegates than are in the Senate,” and that “the Com- mittee had no special authority to represent a quarter million Democrats eligible to vote in the primaries and the general elec- tion, The Committee did not express the well considered opinion of Florida Demo- crats in the mass. The resolutions were very indefinite, received but little attention and were straightway forgotten by every- body but the News-Press.” Another suggestion comes from the Miami Herald—that, instead of a conven- Daily Cross-word Puzzle Seegseceoooocose Peecemreewoocs Solution of Saturday’s Puzzle 12.

Literary supervisor tion of delegates elected by Democratic |° voters, the convention be made up of the Chairmen of the County Executive: Gommit- tees. That would be less representative of the will of the Democratic voters a5 a whole than the membership of the State Commit- ‘al tee. One of the purposes of the conven- tion idea is to get an expression of Demo- erats who are not active politicians, which would be impossible in a convention com- posed of the heads of ‘County Committees, most of whom are practical and very active politicians, aligned with political factions. No, friend Herald, that woudn’t do at all. Strong endorsement of the convention idea is coming from the Democratic press. The Brooksville Journal thinks it “high time that Florida Democrats do something regarding the platform and principles of their party. Just what constitutes a Demo- crat is a question that should be settled. There aré too many half-baked, lukewarm, self-constituted leaders who vote Demo- |, cratic during the primary and then as they please at the election.” The Key West Citizen, while believing that the time pro- posed is “impracticable,”’ favors a conven- tion which would, among other things, de- clare for plurality instead of majority nomi- nation in the primary. The Citizen “con- siders a law absurd that requires a majority to nominate and only a plurality to elect.” The Arcadian thinks “the need for a definite, constructive stand by the party was never greater than now and the plan should be carried out.” It is up to the State Committee, at its approaching meeting, to decide the ques- tion. It alone can call a convention. Someone has raised a question that there is no statutory authority for such convention. Since when was it necessary to have statutory authority for strictly party: action? Is there any act of Con- gress authorizing the holding of national party conventions? What has the Legis- lature to do with the procedure of a party in holding or not ‘holding a corivention or adopting any plan for its own eonduct? We are doubtful of any action by thé State ‘Committee; + however, + because: vividly remember when this newspaper took the lead several years ago for a state convention and when the demand for one was heard from every part of the state, from many Democratic organizations and from the practically unanimous Democratic press of the state. What happened? Ata' caucus held the night before the meeting at which it was generally understood the State Committee would heed the demand of the party and call a convention, a few | politicians who didn’t want a convention got busy and killed the movement. It wasn’t even brought before the Committee. The present Committee isn’t exactly the same Committee that thus ignored the wishes of the party ; but the same politicians are alive and active, and we wouldn't be surprised if they again appear, in person or by proxy, when this Committee meets, to prevent con- sideration é6f the convention plan. George Washington of Cleveland, O., lived up to the traditional veracity of his illustrious namesake when arraigned in } court, saying “I had a knife, was drunk, and scratched the guy up a little.” The jisst judge said: “For being truthful when there is no evidence against you, I will fine you only $10.” - vu Perr ee A ~ KEY WESTIN | DAYS GONE BY) Ve VERY Here Just 10 Years) ‘Ago Today As Taken From || The Files Of The Citizen |!
