One hundred years ago, in 1836, there was a period of business panic and hard times in the United Stz Relief came in} the course of time and was not experi- mentally forced on the population. In _ their ivertisements the Smith Brothers state they are required to pay more than two dozens of variegated taxes. The government doesn’t hesitate to make the bewhiskered brethren cough up. The earliest form in which the melody of “The Star-Spangled Banner” is found is in that of an old English drinking song, titled “To Anacreon in Heaven.” It 1s said language was made to deceive; and that may also be said of music. Key West is getting the run around Julius Stone wanted to make it the Ber- muda of America; others would like to have it known as the seventh province of Cuba, and now the Florida Motor Lines i asking the tourists to visit Key West, “‘in the new Bahamas.” It is true Key Wes' has some of the attractions of all three, and these are what give it distinction, but it is an integral part of the United States and let’sReep it so. The editor of The Sunday Star sub- mits as objeetives for the betterment of Key West three items: A rew city chur ter, a city’ manager form of government and consolidetion of city and coun ernments in one unit. All these have been submitted to the citizenry of Key West by The Citizen for more than'a cCecade ot years, but the beueficiaries of the prevail- ing system always h. vc been able to dowse The Citizen’s efforts in this laudable di- rection. Perhaps something constructive along these lines can be doe at the next legislature. That is a consummation de- voutly to be wished. ls in certain A SCHOLAR SPEAKS Like a breath of fresh air from a bloom-studded hillside, and as welcome as } the first thaw of the Spring was a speech made in the Senate recently by Senator! Henry F. Ashurst, an Arizona Democrat. Ashurst is recognized by his colleagues ! a James J. Orr, of Providence,} Buffalo as one of the outstanding scholars and thinkers in Congress. A lawyer, he en- tered the Senate on March 27, 1912 and has devoted special attention to govern- ments past, present and future. Without indulging forensics, As- hurst told the Senate that it would “more in i truly serve our country by confining our operations to our legislative power” than | by trying to curtail powers of the Supreme Court. “The legislative powers granted to Congress are enumerated and limited” in the Constitution, he said. That limitation, he contizued, was “not by chance, was not fortuitous, was not accidental, but was de- liberate.” “It is true that our powers as mem- bers of Congress are limited,” he said, “but nevertheless if properly exercised they are of sufficient amplitude and grandeur to give scope and opportunity to the most zealous champions of true progress and needful reforms, to the mo:t redoubtable defenders of liberty, .. . and to soothé and i assuage the moct fevered ambitions.” INVESTIGATE ALL FIRES The citizens of Key West have had called to their attention the enormous fire losses which are suffered in the- United States. Compared to similar losses in for- eign countries our losses, “ten times ereat per capita,” according to Irving T. Bush, are a national disgrace. There is only one way to handle such national habit. Rigid investigation of all fires should be |insitted upon. That means it means anything, that rigid in- vestigation o1 all fires should be made in ley West. We cannot sit back and urge as a | steps to stop this enormous loss, which is paid for by-everyone who insures property without at he same time, taking steps to see that fires in Key West are “honest” fires. of fires has been known to increase at great rate lJui-ig hard times. In fact, in one ection some years ago the fires began to burn so fiercely and unexpectedly that all insurance companies quit writing busines: there. Many of the fires were of doubtful origin, but few investigations were made into their causes. busin sections, LABOR FACES CIVIL WARFARE of industrial unionism as contrasted with craft unionism ve are unable to speak but the threatened war between the United Mine Workers and the American Federation of Labor, champions of the opposing systems, means tough sledding for labor generally until the issue is settled and the workers of the nation quit fighting each other. Incidentally, William Green, presi- dent of the A. F. of L., came up through the ranks of a miner’s union and once fought for industrial unionism. Recently he made a futile effort to persuade the miners to abandon their attack upon craft unionism. Instead they overwhelmingly Concerning the merits supported their president, John L. Lewis. | who, when he concludes the time is ripe, will probably lead them out of the Fed- eration. It may be that the ultimate end of the schism will be for the benefit of labor- ers, as many believe, but until the war is settled labor is apt to suffer. THE NEW “HINDENBURG” Completed after four years in build- ing, the German dirigible “Hindenburg,” ; has been pronounced airworthy after test flights over Lake Constance. Twice as large as the Graf Zeppelin, the ship can lift twice as much and is ex- pected to travel from Germany to Brazil in 80 hours. It is interesting to observe that its enief designer, Dr. Hugo Eckener, “was one of those who ridiculed Count Zeppelin when that inventor was struggling to per- fect his “lighter than air” ships. Later, Eckener forgot his gibes about “air castles of an air count” and, taking up Zeppelin’s work, became the world’s foremost au- thority on dirigibles. THE KEY WEST CITIZEN KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY | itepeceines Here Just 10 Years | Ago Teday As Taken From The Files Of The Citizen Steamer Island Belle, owned . L, en route from Miami to | Tampa, ran on the rocks near i Hawks Channel yesterday after- noon and is believed to be~ lost with all cargo. The plight of the vessel was discovered by the Lighthouse Tender Ivy which no- tified the local coast guard sta- 'tion and the Cutter 293 in com- mand of Boatswain Swain was sent to the aid of the wrecked ship. The crew of seven men were jtaken on the cutter and brought! to Key West. Commander W. H. | Sanders, of the lost vessel, claims the chart he was using is in- | correct. John J. Orr, owner of the lost Island Belle, arrived in Key {West this morning and declared that the loss of the boat was the fault of the captain and pilot. At the office of U. S. Commi sioner C. Rodney Gwynn, who is also deputy clerk in the United States court, it is a matter of re- cord that the S. S. El Occidente} has been libelled by the Key West} Fire Department for $15,000 to! satisfy their claim against the ship for subdueing the recent fire in the vessel’s holds. Papers in the Ves se were served by U. S. Deputy| !Marshal Andre Lopez last night,) and the vessel cannot leave port until arrangements have been made for payment of a salvage price which is yet to be agreed upon, it was stated. { | Appearing eisewhere in this is-| sue is the announcement of Wil-| lard M.
