It is not necessary for a politician to be a liar, but a great many of them are, People | who like to dodge their debts nd solace in the word ‘‘moratorium.” In at they are just like most European 1 implie. ations: ~ King Edward is vacationing in the Balkans and the ubiquitous Mrs, Simpson is along, of course. What kind of a guy ig this Mr. Simpson? Voters ought to be insulted bygmany of the devices that the candidates use to fool them, but many of the “dear peepul” resent the insults to their intelligence. There is enough meat in a half dozen of Ed Lambright’s and Carl Hanton’s para- graphs to make up for a column.—Times- Union. What no vegetables for the vege- tarians! One way to take care of the indigent aged is to dispatch them to the happy hunting grounds, as Dr, Osler once sug- gested, but that's a little rough on the oldsters. If you owe a Key West merchant some money, try to pay him; he might need the money, in fact we know he does, because some of them cannot pay their ob- ligations to The Citizen because of your delinquency. If The Citizen prémptly printed all the news that is bandied around on the street corners in whispers, there would be plenty of family scraps before nightfall. Like the New York Times, this paper likes to print only “the news that’s fit to print.’¥} Dr. Ramon Grau San Martin; Tow in} voluntary exile in Miami Beach,’ says he! will not return to Cuba until, “civil author- ity prevails,” despite the recently pro- claimed “amnesty law.” Grau will be with us for a long time, if he earries out his in- tention and waits for that occurrence. Cleveland, Ohio, where the Great Lakes Exposition is being held ands where this item is written, is proving herself a gracious host, polite and hospitable. The South is celebrated for its hospitality, but that may be found right here in Cleveland, LOOKS LIKE A USELESS CASE Railroads of the South and West ex- perimented with low fares many months ago and found that the gross revenue from passenger travel increased, The idea naturally spread that what | was good for these railroads might be good for the roads of the East. However, the roads of the East, with the exception of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, were ! not at all anxious to try the reduction. Some few months ago the Interstate Commerce Commission ordered the lower rates into effect on June first, just past. The railroads, with the same notable ex- ception, took the matter into the courts where the case still pends, Meanwhile, reports from the railroads ; for the month of July give us some infor- mation as to passenger revenues, It is dis- covered that the roads increased their pas- senger earnings 19.4 per cent in July as compared with July, of last year, they had the higher fares. It begins to look like the executives of the railroads might be willing to drop their law suit and let the Interstate Commerce Commission order stand. BARUCH’S WARNING Bernard M. Baruch, American nancier, visiting Europe, reports that the “nations are more suspicious of one anoth- er, more grimly embattled and are arming more fiercely and quickly than ever be- fore Even casual reading of newspaper dispatches from Europe emphasizes the situation in Europe, which appears to be headed for another stupendous war. Mr. Baruch also calls attention to the efforts of various nations, “under the guise of nationalism,” to surround themselves with “commercial Verduns and Gibraltars” through tariffs, quotas, depreciated cur- rencies, trade barriers and various eco- nomic instrumentalities ‘aimed at the life of other nations.” We call attention also to his observa- tion that in order to meet outside com- petition the nations are lengthening hours and reducing wages “to a point that re- sults in almost inhuman conditions.” The reader might also pay some attention to his warning that “this barbaric sweating of labor can jump any tariff wall or under- mine any currency stabilization.” ABOUT FACING WORLD FACTS It ought to be apparent by this time, even to those people who believe that we live in a world of kindness, that there are nations in the world ready to use military and naval force to get what they want. A fact, obvious to many, is that the nation without an adequate means of de- fense, is inviting the same treatment that ! was given to Ethiopia and is hanging over the heads of the Chinese. With this much information at hand it appears that the United States should be prepared to take care of any nation that might cast an eye on our shores. More- over, if she posses interests any where in the world she must consider de- fending them. Another step must be considered. If the interests of the United States and the interests of other nations, anywhere in the world, are identical and threatened from the same source, then common sense would suggest some form of cooperative action in the face of the danger. WHAT ABOUT AIRSHIPS? Passenger traffic on the Hindenburg has been heavy enough to persuade the Zeppelin Company to add cabins for six- teen additional passengers, so that the air- ship will be able to accommodate _ sixty- six passengers on her voyages this fall. The success of the Germans with lighter-than-air craft has been pronounced. “It would be a mistake, however, to assume that it has been achieved without heavy costs, or to believe that the people of other nations cannot successfully operate similar airships. The United States has been unlucky in its airship ventures but a small dirigible has been making daily flights over Wash- ington, D. C., for months without accident. Apparently, given a crew of sufficient! training and experience ‘the United States could successfully operate lighter-than-air } craft and while expert opinion is divided over the feasibility of building new dirig- when | fi- | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN NEW.

M. Guiter: '- geon in the Unite ates Public Health Service, has returned to Key West after an absense of four years at Galveston, Texas. ' The surgeon takes command of the Marine hospital rep:acing Dr.! M. K. Gwynne who has been or- | dered to the quarantine station on the Columbia river at Astoria, Oregon. Seen by The Citizen this morning Dr. Guiteras said, “I. am glad to get back to Key West. I like this city and why should I not. I met my first wife here, my firt child was born here and my last child was born here. Dr. | and Mrs. Guiteras and the three! single daughtters are cozily en-} sconced in the chief surgeon’s quarters on the hospital grounds. | John S.
