When the political campaign gets Z[1inder way in carnest the average citizen might as well hold his nose. Two things we don’t understand; the result. of our gold policy and the results of our silver policy, and if a nickel policy de velops we will probably not understand that either. . The American public will be incline. te accept the statement of the late Wood- row Wilson that he did not know of certain treaties regardless of what somebody say. in a diary, or anywhere else. Dictators to succeed must shatter ole idol’, the better to pave the way to newer} forms of idol worship, but so long as we? stick to the Constitution we are reasonably sure to remain a free people.

Multiply these variations by the thousand and you see how hard it would be for any newspaper to please everybody. To aid you in visualizing the small- ness of the planet on which we dwell. just imagine the sun to be a hollow ball con- taining 1,331,000 globes the size of this garth. In contemplating the littleness of man, we must also not forget the mensity of our cosmetic universe. im- The death of King George V last week and the succession of the Prince of Wales to the throne of Great Britain illustrates the great hold that royalty has upon the people of the empire. It is hard for some America to understand the British at- titude toward the kingship but there are few to dispute the real affection that ex- isted between those called “subjects” and the man who represented the sovereignty of the empire for more than twenty-five years. Men have always persuaded ~them- selves that they were spiritual on the strength of a certain persuasion and then permitting themselves the most extra-| ordinary license of action.

ELLSWORTH’S RESCUE The rescue of Lincoln Ellsworth and his pilot revealed an interesting epic of the \ Antarctic. Ellsworth took off from Dundee Is- land on November 23rd and the outside last time ome eight hours later, and a few hours be- fore he landed about halfway between his starting point and Little America... The, next day the explorer resumed his -flight but was forced down after a few ‘miles. After three days he again began to fly but once more came down within a few hours. ; After a week on the ice he landed to fix his position and flew a few hundred miles until his fuel gave out, about twenty-five miles from Little America. He reached the Byrd depot four days later after traveling the distance on a sled. Here he and his pilot remained from De- cember 9th to January 15th, when they were taken off by the “Discovery II,” a ves- sel doirg scientific investigating near the Bay of Wales but which went to his rescue. KIPLING LAYS DOWN HIS PEN The recent death of Rudyard Kipling THE KEY WEST CITIZEN | recallsithe mighty sweep of his verses, the |, fascination of his prose and the days when the gréat British author was the top-notch rage of his’ generation. Yéyal son of an empire he loved. Kip- ling wes, no less, the virile interpreter of }, human emotions, the weaver of magic lines and versatile enough to use prose and poetry to enthrall old and young, male and female. Singing the songs of mankind, in varied moods and of many types, he left many tunes, some of them raw, der. Others carried the string of a lash, contrasting strangely with the philosoph- ical tolerance and amazing mysticism, that is so delightfully apparent elsewhere. SIDELIGHTS By MARCY B. DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen The Reverend Lewis MacLachlan of London is skeptical about young men of other denominations who are attracted to his Presbyterian services. He says: “I have known them to embrace the prin- ciples of fresbyterianism, only to discover later than the principles were incarnate in oue of my pretty choir girls.” This should encourage those who worry too much about their health. John was three times rejected for enlistment during the Civil War because of his poor physique. He recently celebrated his 100th birth- day. John Jurasek of Chicago, charged with non-support of his wife, told the judge: “Send me to jail so I can get away from my wiie’s relatives; they are driving me crazy.” The,judge obliged with a sen- tence of six months, with a promise to re- new it if John’ ‘desired. few tant scientists, who have _in- vestigated some 500 juvenile delinquents, have found that they are bad boys “be- cause of physical, mental or moral de- fects.” How interesting! “What's in a name?” asked Shake- speare in his immortal “Romeo and Juliet.” Well, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Triplett of Jen- kins, Ky., recently announced the birth of their third set of triplets. The argument -about evolution which was most heated a few years ago has died down, but a new joke on the subject has come to our notice. A young defender of the evolution theory asked a_ preacher, “What difference would it make to me if To which the minister replied: “Probably none; but it would have made a difference to your grandmother.” at A sports writer has recently recorded the odd fact that in a prize fight at San Diego, Calif., on September 19, 1921, a boxer scored a knockout without’ either contestant striking a single blow with his fist. As the gong rang for the first round of a scheduled fight between Frankie Rod- riguez and Frankie Brown, the two rushed at each other with their heads down, but- result that some ten- | KEY WEST IN | DAYS GONE BY | ‘ Happeni e Just 10 Yea Ago Today As Taken From The Files Of The Citizen — ~ nen | Captain John J, Maher, U.
