Roosevelt is the product bf seven generations of wealth and power, nd from such source no economy can be xpected. Easy come, easy go. The Roosevelts have always had it to spend nd they never have had any association with thrift. When Mr. Roosevelt took of- ‘ice as governor of New York, the state ad a surplus of $80,000,000. When he left the governorship, the state faced a Heficit of more than $96,000,000. Now the nited States has the formidable debt of 535,000,000,000, the greater part of which as been accumulated during the present dministration. Everything is done up- ide down in these erratic days, so it might be possible to spend ourselves into pros- perity but our ratiocination does not run im uch a tortuous channel. : great talent and a military leader of con-| | siderable skill. GEORGE WASHINGTON The birthday of George Washington should lead many of us to reflect upon the great part played by the Virginian in the fight for freedom and his transcendent service in starting the new Republic on an illustrious course. George Washington was more of a man than the myth-makers created in the! minds of modern Americans. He had many accomplishments, was a man of | As President, he was wise and his writings reveal that his interests | were exceedingly broad. H | With.all honor to the memory of our | | first president, it might be well to remind | will be charged for at ; Americans now that we cannot always leok to him and his words for guidance in} modern affairs. To begin with, George Washington was a slave-holder and, if we mistake net, an anti-prohibitionist. In} fureign affairs, he has often been held up as the original isolationist. His attitude to- ward the issues of today can only be sur- mised by those who have studied his life and understand the spirit that moved him in his era. THE CHURCH AS COMFORT The great task of civilization is the making of finer human beings. This is also the chief aim of Key West whether we always realize it or not. Most people, we believe, want to be “good,” they want to do the right thing and, in the great majority of cases, can be counted upon to do so. The mad rush of present day social and business life sometimes prevents us from an orderly advance upon this objec- | tive. At times, however, there come | breathing spells, in which individuals re- flect upon life and plan for its betterment. Probably the greatest single agency |} for the abvancement of mankind is the church. Those who gather in a temple of worship receive the advantage of calm, spiritual consideration of the things of the | soul. These are the attributes of real growth. They should be nurtured by every human being. Going to church may, or may not, be a necessity to what is termed “salvation,” but it is a source of comfort and solace to millions every week in the United States. If any reader of these columns does not try to attend a religious service regularly we hope he will give some serious thought to the subject, and participate in some form of worship. DANGERS IN INFLATION Some significance should be attached to the statement of William Green, presi- dent of the American Federation of Labor, declaring that the policy of currency in- flution ‘will seriously affect the economic and social welfare of the masses of the people” through increased prices that are Lound to follow such a course. | There are, it is estimated, 32,000,000 wage earners and salaried workers in the country who, with the dependents, prob- ably make up two-thirds of the popula- tion, The agitation for inflation, it ap- pears, comes largely from the farmers, comprizing about one-fifth of our popula- tion, who seem to believe that inflation will mean permanent gains for them. The Citizen would distinguish be- tween « moderate inflation, which even now is under way, and the wild-eyed speculative orgy that most people connect with the bare thought of inflation. Con- ceivably, a dose of inflation might be bene- ficial, although the whole bottle of medi- cine taken at once might kill the patient. However, there is nothing to be lost by taking cognizance of the dangers that ac- company any form of inflation. Unless carefully watched and adequately curbed ; it can easily be more destructive than the} malady it is intended to relieve. | { In performing the work they are paid | for, legislators think more of what are bad tactics with the people they represent than of any other single factor. The merchant who ceases to advertise or who curtails his advertising appropria- tion, finding his business decreasing but at- tributes the decrease to economic condi- tions is mistaken. Memory is_ short and | the non-advertiser is soon forgotten. This; is no idle palaver; it stands to reason. {Hine, i Club to be held 11 o’clock.
