Perhaps there are no grounds for it. In the com/ng primar the electo will continue to vote their prejudicesvas in days of yore. It is so difficult to do the right thing except under compulsion. To this proneness the flesh is heir. The editor of the Tampa_ Tribune seems to be aware of the loyalty of the Conch to his native city, when he says that Key West is having its ‘Week of Joy’— but loyal island citizens claim Key West is a joy forever.” Friday Night asks boldly “Why will a candidate spend more than the job will pay?” Right ofi the bat we can only think of three arswe Look bat the glory he will derive!

So tar There now a bunch of self-styled “liberals” want to force the Supreme Court to agree 6 to 3, or perhaps unani- mously, before it can hold an act of Con- gres; unconstitutional. The advocates of this charge are inconsistent, or something. You don’t hear them insisting that they must be elected unanimously, or by 6 to 3 majorities, or that Congress must pass laws unanimously, or by a 6 to 3 ma- jorities. who ' iuililary forces to achieve their goals and Germany, apparently, is building up a | military establishment to make effective | demands that will inevitably be upon. Obviously, insisted | the dissatisfied nations in their ivi wazd strides will run against brick walls er-ted by other powers for the pro- tectio™ of their advantages. To avoid con- flict and to secure the blessings of peace, it is necersary to attempt some amicable adjustment of the problems which impel Germany, Italy, and Japan to accept war as an instrument of national _ policy. Whether the nations that have taken refuge behin most of the world’s advantages are willing to contemplate any opening of the barriers to facilitate a “ RY era remains an uncertain development of future years. Great Britain, through recognized political leaders, has shown signs pf a willingness to meet the threatened danger by making some cone ons. At the same time, the present British Government has of re- that More- in order live and let live launched an impressive program armament, evidently determined safety is to be preferred to sorrow. over, under present leaders the British are feverishly striving to create a ‘collective security” based upon combined power that will effectively deter any aggressor and the nation is pledged to assume ‘its full share” of the duties and risks that such a system, entails. The United State European and, standing aloof from to a great extent, Asiatic difficulties, is apparently bent upon weld- ing the nations of this hemisphere into a compact region of peace. President Roose- velt’s recent invitation to the other nations of the Americas to participate in a confer- ence may result in the development of a new American policy in world affairs that will be supported by all the nations be- tween the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Whether such a course will maintain peace for American nations remains to be seer, but the possibility exists. in the meantime, if European powers are able to solve their problems and to estab- j lish any system that produces a peaceful era, there may arise, some decades hence, a real association of nations that would cffectively banish war. MERCHANTS, PEDDLERS AND LAWS The merchants of Key West are, we fecl sure, alive to the peri! that comes into the commnrity through the peddler and arvent. That this class of gentry is on the incr. s¢ can be attested by every house- wife, and that they take from Key West thousaud of dollars every year is apparent to all merchants and bankers. What can be done? Well, we offer this suggestion, for mental assimilation. The average peddler comes into a com- munity wrapped in a_ protective mantle that is known as “interstate commerce.” Under decisions of the highest courts he does not have to pay a license. As a mat- ter of fact he cannot be taxed successfully by round-about metheds, which have been tried and up<et.timerand again. The local merchants, however, are supposed to have a’representative in Con- gre They should’ get behind the con- gressmen and see that some way pro-} vided to permit the fair taxation of these] out-of-town peddlers and solicitors. is Imagination is a marvelous thing, as A.

But every- one agrees that Luckies are A Light Smoke of rich, ripe-bodied tobacco. It is a rather surprising fact that the leaves of the same tobacco plant may vary far more than the leaves from plants of quite different types. Chem- ical analysis shows that the top leaves contain excess alkalies which tend to givea harsh, alkaline taste. The bottom leaves tend to acidity in the smoke. It is only the center leaves which approach in nature the most palatable, acid- alkaline balance.
