DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen “It is said that certain foreign manu- facturers, noting the popularity of NRA on American goods, are placing the label on their wares which are exported to this country. What will General Johnson do about that? Mary Goldman, the anarchist, who was: deported from:the United ‘States to Russia in 1919, has been given permission to return to this country for a short visit with relatives and friends. Russia de- ported her for saying Soviet rule was “a tyranny a hundred times worse than Czardom.” She is now a British subject. Secretary of Labor Perkins advocates the repeal of all laws whichsexist in some states denying paupers the right to vote. It would be fine if, in addition to removing their political disabilities, a law could be made effective doing away’ with their fi- nancial disabilities as well, Rev. Billy Sunday, famed 70-year-old evangelist, who was once a, professional baseball player, has been holding a reviva? in New York, with sermons punctuated’ With pungent Sayings ‘i his" old-time’ ‘man- ner. Speaking of world conditions, he ids, ery nation reaches a crisis; you ant th: God the hot end of the poker:” Another assertion was: “I have got just as much ginger and tabasco sauce for God as ever,” In 1890 an English sea captain named Ernest Schieffelin brought 100 starlings and a smaller number of English sparrows to New York and liberated them in Cen- tral Park. He simply loved birds and wanted his pets to have a chance in Amer- ica. The pets soon became pests. Just now the starlings are making a nuisance of | themselves, especially in Washington, Where the Army’s chemical warfare service has been asked to try to exterminate them with its deadly hydrocyanic gas. Human nature being what it is, it was inevitable that there would be a lot of graft in connection with the billions which are being spent by the government for em- ployment relief and other recovery meas- ures. Heads of the PWA and CWA are trying to find means of checking the wide- spread racketeering that has been re- ported. President Roosevelt recently stated that he was receiving between 200 and 300 letters a day complaining against irregu- larities and political manipulations in the CWA, = OLD TIME LOTTERIES yY It may not be generally known that an American national lottery was in- stituted by the Congress of 1776 and that between that date and 1820 at least seventy acts were passed by Congress authorizing lotteries for public purposes, such as schools and other improvements. During the presidency of Washington, Harvard College supported itself in part by a grand lottery, with capital prizes as high as $20,000. Most European governments have at some time or another employed national lotteries as a méans of raising funds for the public treasuries, and municipal _ lot- teries have been common, Cuba has con- ducted a national lottery since the for- mation of the republic. France, financed the war of the Spanish Succession by a lottery which was not suppressed until 1886. England au- thorized lotteries for harbor improvements and for the financing of the Virginia Com- pany, which founded the early settlements in America, and raised government funds by that means until 1824. sie ac Religious’. and_ charitable organiza- tions were in some countries permitted to operate lotteries, long after. the. govern- ments had abolished them ‘as national in- stitutions. On a small scale’such as exist in America today in the form of “raffles,” which do not differ in principle from the more pretentious lotteries of the past. But during the last hundred years the trend of sentiment throughout the world has been against lotteries, particularly in the United States, where drastic legislation |, for their suppression has been enacted. Still the gambling instinct is perhaps as strong as ever and: finds opportunities for expression in many ways, ranging from | ~~ the outright method of the gaming table to lawful speculation in markets and stocks, regarding the morals of which there is much difference of opinion, even among the better elements of society. In Key West the main expression of the human gambling instinet, besides slot machines, etc., is the game of chance known as““Bolita’”’, which the early settlers in this city, brought over from Cuba. SENTENCES FOR CRIME There is much in the theory of in- determinate prison sentences for criminals to commend its wider adoption, at least as an experimental measure for the protec- tion of society. The idea is that when con- victed of a serious crime the offender should be restrained until he gives evidence of a genuine intention to be good. As we understand it, under this plan the criminal is treated somewhat as an in- sane person is treated. An insane person is not sent to an asylum for a definite period, but is supposed to be kept there un- | til his condition improves sufficiently to make his release safe. If his condition can not be so improved, he stays for life. There is a similarity between the luna- tie and the criminal in that both are sick. One is mentally sick, the other is morally sick. Both can often be cured By proper treatment. The condition of each should be determined by experts before turning him Jeose... At least that is the.theory/ the indeterminate sentence—and it seems sensible. WHO GETS THE DOLLAR? (Wisconsin Press) Who gets the dollar that is spent for printing? Analysis of disposition of the dollar spent for printing shows that more than 70 per cent of it is paid for labor, and remains at home to benefit the butcher, the baker, the clothier and every line of a. trade. The dollar experided with the local printer is of greater value to the com- munity than the dollar spent for merchan- The local merchant who buys printing |" outside of his own community is robbing his own cash register. A good many re- tail merchants need education along this line. The only source from which they will get this education is the local newspaper. It has taken years for people to come to some understanding of the fact that the tourist dollar, for instance, is of direct benefit to the entire community. The dollar spent for printing is the most loyal dollar in your community. Don't let your local merchants forget that fact. Tae KEY WEST CiTizin Daily Cross-word Puzzle ACRO: 8. Forced air 1.
