That is a consolation for the employer and the source of regret for the employee. The Citizen has complained several times of the lack of adequate mail service. ; Monday this sanctum received five issues j of the Sanford Herald and trying to digest the whole lot at one reading gave us in- digestion. In the Apocalypse, in ecclesiastical history, ministers were referred to as “angels,” but for what reason in- explicable except that the designation had a meaning at that time in total variance with that of today. is The new senator from Louisiana is, of course, the Queenfish.—P. E. B. in Tampa Tribune. Why not the Queen Angel Fish, a beautiful species of craniate vertebrates, indigenous to the opalescent waters sur- rounding this gem in the ocean. Railway service to Key West will never be restored, the Key West Citizen is} forced to conclude. And if the govern- ment will not allocate money for bridges on the road to the mainland, it urges at least enough to build a highway by _util- izing the F. &. C. ‘railroad bridges. With “bitter relutiiice,“"in other words, The Citizen asks for ‘half a loaf” if the city cannot have a “full loaf.”—Miami Daily | News. Tuesday was a bad day for the forces on the canal front. The house committee | eliminated the item of $12,000,000, pre- | viously approved by ihe budget committee to carry on the digzmg for the coming | fiscal year.

Throughout the nation, including the Southern states, there is a general recog- nition of the character of this simple man who led his nation through its most de- structive crisis. Students of history fully appreciate that his assassination produced an era that reflected no credit upon his suc- cessors. The conviction is general that if : Abraham Lincoln had lived to serve out his second term as President, the United States would have been completely reunited fact. pays lip service to the mémory of the War fresident cares for the principles he deem- ed important. Individuals, who want to know Lincoln, are advised to read a good history of his life rather than to heed some | milk fund to turn in their amounts} of the encomiums heaped upon present-day orators, him by ABOUT SUCCESS There seems to be spreading through- out the land an idea that men and women achieve success through thé. operation’ of government rather than by patient per- sistence in honest endeavor. This mis- taken view is facilitated by the fact that some government legislation has reaped private fortunes and probably also by the experiences of the past few years, during which many Americans have looked to their government for the necessities of life. The readers of The Citizen especially young men and women, should not be mis- led in this respect. They should realize that worthwhile success is achieved al- most exclusively through personal en- After all is said and done, the vast majority of business success owe their ~-owth to one or more rare individuals ceavor. + who give to the enterprise a contribution that includes not only physical effort but superior intelligence and the wisdom that arises from the intangible thing that we call cuaracter. BAN ON BILLBOARDS Drastic action against the billboard nuisance is reported from the province of Ontario, Canada, where strict regulations are being enforced in pursuance of a re- cently enacted law. It is said that existing billboards are being removed at the rate of about 100 a week. The Ontario law prohibits the erec- tion of billboards on the public highways, THE KEY WEST CITIZEN sit \ KEY WEST IN \ SSP eeeees| The people of the United States D.

DSS nt nd JEFFERSON’S TEN RULES Ten rules of conduct given below are attributed to Thomas Jefferson. Whether they were actually formulated by the Sage of Monticello or not, they contain much good advice in a few words. : 1. Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today. 2. Never trouble another for what you can do yourself. 3. Never spend money before you have earned it. 4. Never buy what you don’t want because it is cheap. 5. Pride costs more than hunger, | thirst and cold. 6. litle. 7. Nothing is troublesome that we do willingly. 8. How much pain the evils have cost us that never have happened. 9.
