In a few weeks the depression will be five years old. Remembering the Biblical veven lean and seven fat kine, we have two years more of the depression, and then we will be out of the woods, perhaps.

In truth, Liberalism is best exempli- fied in, fundamental Americanism—old- fashioned Americanism, Constitutionalism. The genuine Liberal strives to free the people, not to bind them with the chains of bureaucracy. He seeks to give them the widest possible scope for their abilities, not | to restrict them with laws and pronounce- ments. The right to work, to save, to own property and have it protected by the gov- ernment, to prepare for one’s old age, to assure the welfare of dependents—those are the tenets of real Liberalism, Con- | stitutionalism. Throughout the world we have wit- nessed what happens to great nations when this-type of Liberalism is crushed beneath the iron heel of bureaucratic dictatorships. } Germany, Russia, Italy—here, are prime | examples of what political “isms” can do { to a. people. press, freedom of action, ; outlawedjand punishable offenses, If it were possible, freedom of thought would receive the same treatment. if he ‘American people should hold i fightiy té their constitutional heritage—it has been tested by the years, and has been | found good.

During the summer months those | warnings you see on Key West’s streets, | Ahead—Watch Out!” mean little to you. You know the buildings are closed and the youngsters scattered to all points of the compass, and you continue your speed without slackening. Now, however, those signs have a grave significance. The signs are a vital warning to all motorists to watch out for the youngsters. In spite of the efforts of school au-| thorities and safety workers, automobile casualities still account for more child fatalities than any other accidental cause. Last year, 4,100 boys and girls of school | age were killed in such mishaps, and many thousands more were injured, according to figures supplied by the National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters. The evidence underlying the statistics appear to place the blame heavily on motorists, for the youngsters have shown a remarkable ability to watch out for them- selves by observing safety rules and prin- ciples. motor vehicle accidents involving have increased 34 per cent, those involving children have decreased 20 per cent. | in the schools is the brightest spot in entire safety movement. taught to respect and obey the rules | governing their own conduct in traffic, but they are helpless if careless motorists re- fuse to cooperate.

AN ITEM FOR TAXPAYERS (Tampa Tribune) An amazing fact disclosed by Comptroller Lee ——that the state is paying $845 a month for maintenance of an institution which has only four inmates. The Old Soldiers and Sailors Home in Jack sonville is the ‘“‘spot.” To take care of a quartette ! of dependents, the state employs a superintendent, { a matron and a nurse—three attendants for four beneficiaries. | Tt ean’t be helped, Landis, because a law requires that the Home be | kept up, and only says Attorney General | the Legislature can close it. On | the other hand, other state institutions are over | crowded. Why not transfer these expensive state charge: | to our universal Santa Claus, Uncle Sam?

Here Henry Ford has voiced his jadustrial, economic and social cre- ‘do. He has expressed himself terse- ly and unequivocally on a wide oe of subjects, some of them ! controversial, all of primary im- | port; and, judging by the reactions ot the crowds who visit the huge ' exhibit, the words, the thoughts be- {hind them, and the thoughts they svoke, are as important and as dra- matic as any exhibit in the entire eleven-acre Exposition. The quotations are eighteen in |aumber. They are so meaningful | that the list which follows needs no | explanation of why more questions | have been asked about them by vis- | itors than about any other si | aspect of the entire Exposition.

(5) Wages for work. Profit to make more efficient values for users. (6) If we had more justice, there would be less need for charity. (1) A cheaply made product is too expensive to be priced cheaply. (8) Industry does not support man —it is man that supports industry. (9) Growing of food, making of tools, transportation—three basic jobs. | peemmenm tte tomtom tonttmtnnto—n se KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY Happenings Seve Just 10 Years Ago Today As Taken From The Files Of The Citizen building: | owner is quoted best way to « tezr | town.” down ail | Paul convention in S$ turned to Key West. j a a Queen-clect Elisa Rafael having their cor tion s made for the In | tior Ovt chairm an of the San Car utive Commi Ms IIIT PA IIIA TT Te MOD, COOLS, Cine etic “OLD PAPERS 0000000000060 00060008500r906080000000008 1 Bundle for 25 in bundle 3 THE KEY WEST CiTIZEN !
