The more foolish portion of our citi- zenry will lose tempers and dispositions over political races this summer and fall. We rect sure that beauty and brains go together, now that several good-looking ladies have admitted that they read these paragraphs. It is estimated that ihe people of the United States spend yearly about a million dollars on lotteries, money which could be kept at home if we had a lottery of our own, We Ae welcome new subscribers but we always appreciate our old sub- seribers because without them we would not be here te welcome the new friends of this newspaper. Instead of hampering gfovernment busine the sheuld aid it in every way pos- sible so it can thrive and produce revenue. How is the busy bee going to make honey for us if we deprive the fields of fruits and tlowers? Against the glib retort that married men do not live longer than bachelors, that are the records which show the death rate for bachelors to be 1,- 218.2 per 100,000 as compared with 855.9 ior married men. The standardized death rate for spinsters is practically the same as compared with married women. it only seems longer, | ANCIENT LIFE WAS HAZARDOUS Citizens today worry about the enor- mous death toll on cur highways, and they have every right to be apprehensive over ! the useless slaughter that occurs, Some of them are wont to back to the old days, the horse and buggy | era, and regret the speed mania which - | prompts the race to rush madly along the roads in automobiles into accidents which maim and kill Americans by the thousands. The idea gets around that we are living in extremely age, chiefly notable by the fact that some lucky dividuals manage to reach a ripe old age in an dangerous in- spite of the terrors of modern civilization. It is interesting, in this connection, to read about a survey recently made by the Metropolitan Life which contrasted the modern era with that of the ancient Greeks and Romans. The statistician discovered that out of 275 cele brated ancients, exactly 136 died through violence. Out of a group of 180 states- men, 115, or 64 per cent, came to violent ends. Living today, in the midst of our homi- cides, suicides, and accidents brings violent death to 9.5 per cent of the general pop- ulation. This, to be sure, is an appalling percentage, justifying our sporadic cam- paigns for safety. At the same time, it proves people living today are immeas ably sater than those who lived in the dis- tant years of the past. Insurance Company, SENSELESS AND USELESS We see little Sense in a recent resolu- tion introduced in Congress, proposing a ten-men committee to study the practic- abilitp of a union between the United States and Canada, with an ultimate view of the “greatest English- speaking nation in the world.” The author, Representative Sirovich, of New York, obviously does not accept the general American opinion that now have the “greatest English-speaking nation in the world,” but this is not the main ob- jection to such foolish proposal, As a matter of practical common proposition should, “with come from the weaker nation rather than from the stronger power. Of course, the action of one congressman: does not speak for this nation, but it is pssible for such action to inflict inealeulable in- jury to the future development of good feeling between Canada and the United States. The Canadians generally agree with the sentiment expressed by Premier Mit- chel F, Hepburn, of Ontario, who, upon hearing of the Sirovich resolution propos- ing a merger, declared “We are complete ly satisfied to remain as we are, a part of the British Empire.” While expressing the greatest admiration “for our friends of the United States’, he was positive in his opinion that Caradians did not ‘desire te become Americanized.” establishing we ense, such a propriety, A HIGH TRUSTEESHIP Many people undoubtedly think of life irsurance as an unimaginative — in- stitution, based principally upon the cold mathematical calculations of the average length of life. Even though you have recognized that it serves a high human purpose in alleviating suffering and soften- ing grief. you may still have thought of this institution as a gigantic caleulation machine, Anyone who may have had_ this im- pression has missed one of its most human and vital aspects. Eclipsing even the es- sential mathematics of the business is the trusteeship of the life insurance com- panies. It was Hon. now Chief Justice of the preme Court, Charles Evans Hughes, ited States Su- who some years _ ago “Life insurance is practically the form of trusteeship.” In carrying out this trusteeship, first consideration of the life companies has always been safety for the funds of their policyholders. This require- | ment having been met, their next aim is to; earn a return on the invested funds of the policyholders, but the size of this return must always be secondary to safety of the principal. This is the prime reason for the emer- gence of the life insurance business from each succeeding depression stronger and more dependable than ever. said: highest the harken insurance | , THE KEY WEST CITIZEN KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY Happenings Here Just 10 Years Ago Today As Taken From The Files Of The Citizen Officers of the Shrine Club of Key West for the ensuing year were elected at a meeting of the iclub held last night at Scottish Rite | hail.
