All over Florida there epposition to the now chine and senators is tremendous legalized slot ma- and — representatives who voted for the so-called “one-armed { bardit” and are now before the electors asking for their franchise are hopping on coals of fire. Many will go down to de- feat because of their vote. Representative Papy of Monroe county seeking re-election voted against the slot machine, while Sen- ator Gomez, not a candidate in the coming | election, voted for the bandits. That is the record. One of the conditions made by the federal board in order that states may par- | ticipate in the old age progr: that every county in each state must ap-} propriate funds to match the federal money, and unless all of the 67 counties of | Florida enter into the program the entire | state eanuot participate. Furthermore one} or more counties will not be permitted to/ ist the laggard county or counties to put over the program.

Last week Secretary of Agriculture Wallace and his Under-Secretary, Rexford | G. Tugwell, testified in court that to their a de fendant defore. The man was being tried for obtain- ing sentation that he could get a $570,- Both Mr. Wal- lace and Mr. had no connection with loans of this char- acter, The trial calls attention to a wide- | spread evil in this country which is by no means restricted to Federal affairs. In al- most every community there are in- dividuals who attempt to make money out of alleged “influence” ernment officials. with certain They try to sell what they claim is ar ability to secure favorable action for-their client. In the majority of instances, these men are frauds and im- po:ters, gifted with a glib tongye and hav. ing as their only asset a superficial ac- quaintance with some public men. Much of the “graft,” often = dis- cussed in formal conversations and pop- ularly credited to governmental officials, is based on nothing more substantial than the preposterous presumptions of a slick talk- ing crook who makes a_ living out of gov- so j gullible and susceptible individuals anxious to obtain governmental favors and willing to pay a price for undue influence, We de not believe that government in this country is conducted without graft but we make bold to assert that there is nothing like the general corruption that some people believe exists. Of course, this observation is made with reservations be- cause sometimes it does happen that an of- ficial is just as crooked as the gentlemen who pretend to have such great influence in governmental circles. t however, in local, These instances the exception ard as a rule, State, and Federal positions, may expect to find capable men and wom- en attempting to render real service for the compensation they receive. are, one “A LAMENTABLE STORY OF FAILURE” The people of this country, proud of their industrial efficiency, often point with pride to the record of American industry during the World War. It will probably surprise many of them to hear what David Lloyd George, war- time Premier ut Britain, has to about the yate manufacture arma- ments in this country during World War. Citing the United States mirable illustration of the system, he tells of orders on a large scale “but not ful- filled” and declares that our boasted pri- vate manufacture completely broke down. “It is a lamentable story of failure,’ he concludes. In support of his statement, Mr. George asserts that after “eighteen months of war, the Americans had no guns, heavy or light, of their own, and had. to rely on the French and ours. American airplanes came in only two or three months before the Aymistice.” If these statements are correct, and they probably most Amer- icans can do a little thinking about what would happen if the United States became involved in another great struggle. of the as an ad- Lloyd MARRIED PEOPLE LIVE LONGER There may be readers of The Citizen who would be interested in the following statistics, taken from a report of a large life insurance company: Among males, the standardized death rate for bachelors is 1,218.2 per 100,000 as compared with 855.9 for married men Among females, the standardized death rate of spinsters is 1,039.1 as against 856.6 for married women of all ages. These figures are taken from Cana 's for the United States are not available but the findings are con- sidered applicable to this country. The belief that physically defective individuals tend not to marry is true in part but does not explain the discrepancy shown. Generally, it is pointed out that a mar- ried person's life is better regulated in re- gard to sleeping; eating, and recreation. Moreover, men with dependents probably take more thought to their welfare and avoid some hazards. In addition, the aver- age married person benefits. from the solicitious care of his or her mate, which protects health in general, la $2,800 from a man and woman on the | Tugwell told the jurors they | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY lappenings Here Just 10 Years Ago Today As Taken From The Files Of The Citizen The ca £ Kreece and Gin- hans Miami prohibition o/ficers which originated in their connec- tion with raids on certain places West conducted by these some time ago, have been rred to the federal court i and will be tried next habeas corpu issued out of the distr Southern district of Florida en served upon the criminal 1, command- forthwith the connection with » papers were and mailed out yesterday. sureet was ums wie way resumed} morning wat every prospect| tuere will be No let up UNL Lhe} jov is completed. ‘Ine ec qthel over tne work and U tuactors are to pay weting ine city » the contract, City kn- xuMmeer B.
