Just on that account the people may want an abler man to be their servant. His best ability may not be considered good enough.

Another example of negative prestige killing a new fashion was the sudden dis- appearance of ‘bloomers’ in 1851, when a “London brewery dressed all their barmaids in this costume.

It remains, how- ever, for the little Key West Citizen to offer the timely reminder that “Gratitude is an ephemeral and elusive thing, and applies especially to the so-called rationa] animal.’’—Miami Daily News. WORLD PEACE: IT’S PRICE World peace, ladies and gentlemen, has its price; if you want it you must buy it. As 1936 opens up one cannot help but observe the threats of war that dot the face of the globe or ignore the feverish haste of nations to arm, themselves, The world is far from international peace even | if all of us recognize the danger to civil- ization itself that a new war entails. The people of the United States, as a whole, applauded the recent utterance of President Roosevelt insofar as it dwelt up- ; on our neutrality and endeavors to keep out of another armed struggle. Appreciat- ing fully the peril of useless and senseless combat, the great loss that it causes and the human suffering that accompanies it, ; our people have firmly resolved not to be- come embroiled in the warfare of other peoples. By this means, they hope to re- main without war altogether. The danger, it is agreed, comes from autocracy but the answer is not complete until we know why there are Such .auto- crats. Why do Japan and Germany act as if they might menace the peace of the world and why does Italy fight Eti 1 at the risk of a general war -in —Europe? Why do Italians and Germans give © sup- port to Mussolini and Hitlerj::+when they peak of war and why do the ‘Japanese gird themselves for sacrifice, if necessary. to continue a dangerous policy in the Far East? The understanding answer to ques- tions like these might enable us to state, in plain terms, the price of world peace. | t IDEAS CHANGE It is characteristic of most persons who have decided opinions on any subject that they endeavor to bring everyone else to their way of thinking. In cases where the issue is a_clear- cut one, involving right and wrong, it may be that an uncompromising attitude is jus- tified. But who shall say just what is right and what is wrong? Ideas concern- ing right and wrong change with the times. Not so many decades ago some_of the most cultured and enlightened people. of this country believed that human slavery was legitimate and proper. George. Wash- ington was one of them; at least he was a large slave-owner as long as hé lived. We think it wrong today. E The Puritans thought it wrong for a man to kiss his wife on Sunday, and they | passed a law prohibiting him from doing so. We now laugh at the idea of stich a law. : If everyone had agreed with such old ideas and no one had ever mustered up the courage to combat them, we should have made little progress. We wiold still be hanging witches. What is needed in the that we should all think-alj should have a greater feé and respect for. the opiti when honestly held, no matt ' they may differ from our ov “ The average normal pe is really seeking for the truth—but the truth often elusive, and each must find it in his own way, y much HARMFUL “CHARITY” Kind-hearted citizens, in Key West and elsewhere, often take unction to their souls in the thought that they cheerfully contribute their bits to the relief of any one who comes to them with a tale of woe, or seeks succor for distress. It would surprise some of these peo- ple very much to learn that they are prob- ably making a mistake. More often, they are encouraging a habit of begging, which will make of the recipient a panhandler all his life. The aim of modern relief is to correct the condition which causes a man, or a woman, or a family, to be on the seamy side of want. Very often these circum- stances car be so altered as to make the individual or family self-supporting, and enable them to take their place ‘in society as worthy members, earning what they re- ceive. This is much better than scattering alms wholesale and without wise discrimi- nation. While we would not go so far as to say that all charity should “be —econ- trolled by social workers, we do assert that most of it should be so expended. is : ’ ‘THE KEY WEST CITIZEN KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY tlappenings Here Just 10 Years Ago Today As Taken From The Files Of The Citizen Actual preliminary work mark-} Boston . ing the beginning of Key West’s| Buffalo magnificent waterfront boulevard; Charleston. which will skirt the shoreline for, Chicago a distance of six miles, startedi Denver . today.

Woods, of Toledo, Ohio, was guest speaker at today’s ses- sion of the Realty Board, He de- voted much of his time to the dis- cussion of bridges and the possi- bility of bonding the county: for this necessary construction. He was heard with interest. County commissioners have asked for proposals for bridges to connect the present terminus of the Over Sea Highway. It is con- sidered. a profitable investment and will be the connecting links in the great Over Sea Highway enabling travelers to drive to Key West from any part of the United States and Canada. The board will meet March 1 to consider the: proposal, The most feasible, efficient and practical method will be adopted. Editorial comment: When the poet wrote “There was a sound of revelry by night” he perhaps anticipated the time when the boys in their heavy boots would be trying to dance the Charleston. Building operation on the Key West Foundation company’s first plat has attained large proposi- tions.

Willard Russell, manager of the Key West Athletic Club, told The Citizen today he had made ar- rangements with Paul Berlenbach, light heavyweight champion of the world, who will be in Key West, to referee the main bout between Kid Indio of Key West and Andy Bowen, of Washington. Professor George Howard Parker, head of the zoology de- partment of Harvard University, who has been in Key West for several weeks studying the Por- tueguese Man O” War, left today for a visit to the Harvard Univer- sity sugar plantation at Soledad, near Cienfuegos, Cuba.
