Airports—Land and Sea. Consolidation of County and City Governments. Taking care of the boys and_ girls, growing up in this community, is the big- gest task that faces Monroe County. A cow wiii ‘drink as much as ten gal- lons of water a day, and still the water in the milk is blamed on the milkman. Obstinacy is more often the sign of weakness than of strength; so don’t think you are strong-minded just because you are pig-headed. When Monroe County bonds’ were very low some lacked the faith in Key West to buy; others had the faith -but lacked the money. Seminole county has signed a refund h R. E. Crummer Co.

Mus- solini boasted he could muster 8,000,000, and Hitler went Il Duce much better by claiming 15,000,000. When you say of someone that she is “charming,” you wouldn’t believe that, had you said this some centuries ago, your friend would have run the risk of being burnt alive? “charming” was then a real bewitching,” dealt with by 3ut synonym of “ death, Chinese recipe for cooking rige: “Washee lice in cold water bellee muchee. Water boil all ready muchee quick. Water shakee lice, no burn. Boil till one lice all rush away in fingers. Puttee in pan all holee; pour over cold water bellee muchee set in hot oven, make dry, eatee all up.” The Citizen is heartily in favor of the decision of the County Commissioners not to make any recommendations to the board of pardons, and commends the board on its action. Murderers, thieves, arsonists, rapists, etc., all enemies of so- y, and all potential repeaters of their should be kept behind the bars, for the protection of the public and as a warning to would-be criminals, Tampa should have. allowed Earl Browder, Communist candidate for the presidency, to shoot off his mouth, rather than make it impossible for him to 4o so. THe United States as a whole will exércise the better part of wisdom if it permits soap box orators of Browder’s stripe to orate to their hearts’ content. England has adopt- ed that policy and found it wise. | Italy, Germany and. Russia particularly pad- locked the buccal cavities of would-be orators and did not tolerate the semblance of free speech, and now they até regi- mented under the iron hand of rulers whose every word is law. | ; ton, | part by THE LOTTERY QUESTION AGAIN As readers are aware The Citizen has on several occasions advocated the es- tablishment of national and state lotteries, and it makes no apologies for having done so. There is a reason for this attitude. It | is the hope that legalized lotteries will do away with the prostitution of the duties of | public officials who accept and demand protection money from the small gambling establishments, and the further draining | of the meager earnings of the small wage eurner. If there must be gambling and i there always will be, why shouldn’t the | profits ‘go to’the public treasury for the commén’ govd rather than to a few petty gamblets and crooked officials? It is quite trué that the trend of the ! sentiment in the United States has been and still is against the establishment of legalized lotteries and that drastic legisla- | tion for their suppression has been en- acted, but it is also a truism that of two evils the lesser should be chosen. It may not be generally known that | an American national lottery was in- | stituted by the Congress of 1776 and that least | between that date and 1820 at seventy acts were passed by Congress au- thorizing lotteries for public purposes, such as schools and other improvements. During the presidency of Washing- a gtand lottery, with prizes as high as $20,000. Most European governments have at some time or another employed national lotteries as a méans of raising funds for the public treasuries, and municipal _lot- teries have been common. Cuba has con- ducted a national lottery since the forma- tion of the republic. France financed the of war the Harvaré College supported itself in| capital | Spanish Succession by a lottery which was j{ not suppressed until 1836. England au- thorized lotteries for harbor improvements and for the financing of the Virginia Com- pany, which founded the early settle- ments in America, and raised government funds by that means until 1824. Religious and charitable organiza- operate lotteries? long after the ments had abolished them as national in- stitutions. * GOOD NEWS WITH AN “IF” ‘The newspapers are so > filled news of war, preparations for warfare andj Moon sets __ the clashing ambitions of dictators that we are glad to be able, once in a while, to chronicle the views of anybody who thinks ! that, maybe after all, there will be peace. it So we seize upon the remarks of Sir| Keith Murdock, visiting Australian news-: paper publisher, who says the armament race need not necessarily lead to_ war, ! which would involve all nations in disaster, However, seattered showers Thursday; mod- erate northeast to east winds.

For your information he gives the figure as one followed by a numbers and ending with a six.
