"No one who owns:a car has a right to run it without a license. With the rise in the market, common stock doesn’t look so common. If the price of real estate persists in its downward trend, the meek won’t care much about inheriting the earth. Last Sunday a local clergyman had for his topic “The God Amos.” Naturally everybody wants to know why Andy wasn't included. The Miami papers claimed that Miami on’ Saturday was the warmest spot in the United States although the thermometer, according to the U. S. offi¢ial weather re- port, read: Key West 80; Miami 78.

Hot dog! Now if. this thoughtful grocer or some other will ad- vertise cabbage we will have the makings of the famed delicacy so delectable to Jiggs, which is abhorred by Maggie in pub- lic and relished in private. While The Citizen sympathizes with those persons who have in the past few weeks lost their canine pets by, poisoning, it does not characterize the dastardly acts as murder as did the astute editor of The Stitaty Star, » Murder is ‘defined as wilful homicidé, the killing of a human being by another; and cannot be described..to the Ct “a an animal, no matter how h act. Marie Cappick, local writer, is about to launch a monthly magazine, as an- nounced in The Citizen Friday. Accord- ing to the editor it will feature the “roman- tie and historic background of the island.” The new venture will undoubtedly prove instructive and diverting and should have the financial support of this community es- pecially in view of the editor’s statement that the “idea in publishing such a maga- zine is to make Key West better known Votir’by local residents and winter visitors. May its travail be light and its life long. Mark Twain once said that everybody was talking about the weather but nobody doing anything about it. That’s just the trouble with us in Key West. We are al- ways talking about what fine weather we have but we are too indolent to capitalize on it. During the winter months we have the warmest temperature in the land, but we fail to tell the world. making the best mouse-trap, etc., and the beaten track to your doors as a consequence is the bunk unless you adyertise the fact, and continue in constant repetition until you have the reputation. That gag about} Two centuries and a quarter after Benjamin Franklin’s birth, a great me- morial in Philadelphia will fittingly per- petuate his great genius and patriotic serv- ices by a tangible monument of practical as well as sentimental significance. It will be a memorial such as Frank- lin himself would appreciate most if he were living, being devoted principally to a museum of the graphic arts, which will illustrate the evolution of printing since the earliest tempts of man to writing and recorded at- express his ideas by visible means. For, be it remembered, in an epitaph written by himself for his grave- stone, his only designation Franklin, Printer.’ The memorial building will have a total floor space of more than 500,000 square feet and will cost five million dol- lars. It will also have a large endowment fund. Institute, with more than 60 individual museums, libraries and departments de- voted to scientific knowledge. Benjamin Franklin, measured by every standard of accomplishment, is per- haps the greatest figure America has ever produced. As journalist, scientist, states; man and diplomat he exerted an influence of inestimable value to his country and to the world. To him, no less than to Wash- ington, is due the success of the American Revolution, because it was Franklin’s con- summate diplomacy that secured the aid | of France at the crucial moment of the war for American independence. It is to the credit of the citizens of } Philadelphia that at last Franklin is to have a memorial in keeping with his great- ness. > is “Benjamin HUMAN LIFE IS CHEAP (Citizen, Culver, Ind.)

One hundred and thirty people,! - : comprising the Greenville, S, C.,)\1809—(125 years ago) Cyrus has always met death through ‘the crim- | inality, ignorance or carelessness of fellow men. Could the minds of all men be directed to the. preservation of human life, what a difference it would make! No more wars, no more murders, no more preventable deaths through automobile accidents, no more lives lost in fires started through carelessness—how changed would be the j front pages of our daily newspapers! F To mention only three causes of vio- lent death, the best authorities estimate that in the United States each year 10,000 are murdered, 25,000 are killed in auto- mobile accidents and 15,000 are burned to death. The total number of persons killed in accidents now reaches more than 75,000 a year. While giving our attention to a multi- tude of other reforms and isms, would it not be well to devote more serious thought? and action towards reducing this appalling and unnecessary waste of human life. .. GOODS NOT ORDERED —— \" Considerable annoyance is often caused by the practice of certain firms which send goods by mail to persons who | have not ordered them. Sometimes the | goods are accompanied by stamps for their | return in case the recipient does not de- | sire to keep any pay for them. But the re- | wrapping and return of these packages is |r unnecessary, according to the National | Setter Business Bureau, which has map tained legal opinions on the subject. “So long as unordered goods are not | used by the recipient, he need neither re- | turn nor pay for them,” says the Bureau. All that can be expected is that the re- cipient hold the goods ready to be re- turned in case a representative of the sender calls forthem. And if*they are not called for within a reasonable time, recipient may have a claim for storage. While no one would ordinarily desire to keep goods for which payment had not been made, the paying for unordered mer- chandise, or even its return to the sender, simply encourages the practice of trying to} force goods upon the public. If everyone would follow the advice here given, the | nuisance would be stopped in short order. ! “feent of all taxes Dy athe: wad Sf shorn «> Dumhoth, Maine, the chambet. of kommérce; arrived: of Hall McCormick, inventor and de- the boat from Tampa this morning| Veloper of the reaper, one of the and were entertained by local: factors. which moved the line of business and professional men and ¢ivilization westward ,and saved officials of the city.
