Fortunately for all concerned, a girl's speech of acceptance may be confined to the word “Yes.” Our private investigator reports that “They're Hanging Danny Deever” was the first “swing” tune.

To- i day, in Cleveland, Ohio, he is a_ business man, with a clean record, a wife and two ; children. Police say he has never been in! trouble and his family know nothing of his past mistake. Somehow, Cleveland detectives dis- “covered the man’s buried secret. They are sympathetic, thinking the man has earned | the right to live freed of the past and have advised authorities in another State to forget about it.” What should the authorities do? Here is a man who violated the law and} flouted its punishment. Should he be e3 his wrongdoing? Should his wife and chil- dren suffer today through his humiliation and their shame? Does the law require, ; in its majesty, that the crime of youth must be paid for in mature years? The purpose of punishment, whether | one realizes it or not, is the protection of | individual. Obviously, society hardly needs protection against this head of a family, with years of straight-living to testify for him and prove his real reform. Having! accomplished its purposes without inflict- ; the law i dubiously served when of statutes, rake up ancient wrongs as an excuse for persecution of one who has, it seems, made good. DENTISTRY FOR CHILDREN While no claim is made that perfect | teeth result in wonderful beauty and guar- antee long life, the dentists of the nation | do insist that parents who see that the teeth of their children are properly cared for, will prevent suffering and _ trouble | later in life. Most Medical work is along preven- tive lines and so we are not surprised that many dentists insist that “the only hope of real progress lies in the prevention or early control of dental disease.” To the parents of Key West we urge that this im- portant matter be not neglected. In some communities we now find dentists employed by the schools and county authorities. These doctors go about the district looking after the teeth of school children. In these sections the sig- nificance of children’s dentistry has been recognized and the children in unfortunate circumstances are insured a fairer chance in life. OUR ENORMOUS FIRE LOSS More than half a billion dollars worth of property goes up in smoke every year in the United States. More than 14,000 lives are lost through tires that occur, many of them, through carelessness. | and by the foréedf | Normal Mean THE KEY WEST CITIZEN You and Your Nation’s Affairs Promises and Perplexities ‘Associate Professor of Economies, No person‘can travel the country witHout irealizi is only by the sweat of one’s brow own ihgenuity {tbat his eco- “nomic status ts continually im- proved. Except where inconsis- tencies of na- ture have laid waste to cer- tain communi- ties, the fact re- mains that towns or sec- tions thereof enjoy comforts and conve- niences or en- dure hardships and privations as their inhab- itants are enterprising or lazy. For a time, political administra- tions can take material gains from one group by taxation, and give to another by bounties. But, it soon be- comes plain that there is a bottom to every bucket. Besides, there are rea sens aplenty for changing the reci ents of politically bestowed gifts in order to gain votes. So, it is one’s own fault if he is deceived again and again by trap-door promises of presidential 1 platforms. it is something else again when Mr. Citizen tries to evaluate anything like Secretary of Commerce Roper’s forecast of a rise in national income for 1936 to *60,000,000,000—a fifty per cent gain over 1932—at a time when droughts, dust storms, and grasshop- bers are plaguing the West and Mid- dle West. A moment's reflection, however, should make it apparent that inas- much as prices aave risen at least forty per cent since 1932, the larger part of the predicted gain is due, not to the increased production of goods. but to higher prices—or as some would say to cheaper dollars. What is much more desirable, every one con- sidered, is an increased supply of con- sumable goods, and not simply higher prices. Yet, following the Secretary's rea- soning to the logical end, short crops this year will be a boon to the coun- try. As his New Deal colleagues would say, the higher the prices, the more income for all, the greater the ability to buy, and the larger the de- mand. Obviously, anybody who has learned so ialse a doctrine has knocked a huge dent in his good sense, and has twisted his line of rea- soning so that it will be very difficult for him ever to understand the truth Money incomes for farmers may rise in 1936, but consumers and taxpayers will foot the bill. (Address questions to the auti York University Surely, if political administrations were as efficient in increasing the Teal income of thé nation as the New Deal platform in 1932 seemed to in- dicate, many economic difficulties, visible at the moment, would long | since have disappeared. For example, had agricultural production been en- couraged instead of discouraged, stored surpluses of grain would take the edge off the now threatening crop shortage, and every one would be better off. Had the government been really in earnest about improving labor condi- tions, industrial cooperation between (| employers and employees would have prevented the impending rift between labor and capital in the steel mills. Again, the Federal regulation of cotton goods manufacturing created an excess capacity by re-establishing two shifts, and increased operating costs by heavy processing taxes, which are now not returnable, though illegally collected. Had not this un- timely legislation been enacted, mills in New England would not be closed today or operating on a part-time basis. The giant Amoskeag IAill, for instance, at Manchester, N. H., em- ploying over 12,000 workers and af- fecting the livelihood of practically every one in that community of 70.- 000 people would not now be com- pletely shut down and threatened with bankruptcy. Moreover, if the government had really had the solution to the coun- try’s cotton problem up its sleeve in 1932, share-crop farmers would not still be eking out a bare existence on part-time employment at 75 cents to $1 a day. And greater strides would have been made in solving the di- lemma in the Cotton Belt, that is, how to reduce growing costs and still care for communities which are dependent upon the crop. When high water threatens to in- undate a city, it is not difficult to take stones from the stronger parts of the dam and carry them to-the weaker parts. To strengthen the dam as a whole however requires*bringing up additional material By the same token, any Administration at Wash- ington can take wealth from some people to give to others. But only a well-informed government can make the economic dam stronger by en- couraging production. It is not a new Constitution which the country needs. Nor is it a “going- to-do” administration. Instead, what the cozntry needs is a group of “do- the-right-thing-ers,” who within the limits of the present Constitution will promote an era of sound prosperity. If such an administration can be had, a host of perplexities for Mr. Citizen will quickly vanish. hor, care of this newspaper) TODAY’S Temperatures* Highest Lowest Mean ' --86 19} 84] ¥ ee Pre: ae 2.47 Ins. | N . 1 rmal Precipitation a Tomorrows Almanac Sun rises Sun se Moon ri Moon sets Tomorrow's Tides ‘ countr .'and Rapid City, S.

Henry Ford was 73 on July 30, and he keeps his mind and body active by oc cupying them. Something to remember profitably is his statement that “the secret of growing old without knowing it to keep on working.” is Prime Minister Baldwin of England told a group of war veterans that if no bet- ter means than war can be found to settle disputes “the world deserves to perish.” Civilization can never outlaw war entirely, but it can delay it many years if level- headed men head the governments, and that delay alone justifies its existence, Wine for the.people has been decreed by the Soviet government and ‘the official edict has ordered an increase in the pro- duction of champagne from 300,000 bot- tles to 12,000,000 and dinner wines and liqueurs from 300,000 bottles to 2,750,000 within as short a time it is possible to pro- duce that quantity. Communist leaders declare the purpose is to secure greater freedom and a more abundant life for the Russian proletariat. That accomplishment will give the serfs the opportunity to drown their sorrows in the flowing bowl and for- get the hunger gnawing at their vitals. Could it be possible that the Stalin govern- “ment has that eventuality in mind? Son taking too many chances and the fire vrs loss this year. The campaign for “carefulness seems to have missed a few cylinders. The average citizen insists up- demon burns up too much property. The figures carry a lesson to the peo-} ple of Key West. It is the duty of every citizen to do his or her part to cut down the enormous economic waste. The only way to do this is to practice carefulness yourself. Don’t bother about neighbor John, or Sister Sue; get lined up on the need of precaution and refrain from joining the ranks of those who wantonly and needlessly cause the thousands of fires which occur through carelessness. CHEAP ELECTRICITY VITAL The city of Florence, Alabama, re- cently bought the distribution line of a power company and joined up with: the TVA to get electric power for lights and industrial use. Sa A news dispatch says that “a rate cut, averaging 35 per cent for domestic, commercial and industrial consumers went into effect immediately.” This is a step in the long war between public and private operation .of -power utility companies which has been bitterly waged throughout the United States. We are not fanatical on the subject but elec- tricity is so vital to modern life that every , effort should be made to make it avail-} able as cheaply as possible to all people. If private power companies do this, well and good; if they can’t or won't then let the government do it, “. eae * ©.
