What’s the matter ‘with some of our public officials? The other day a local gambler refused play to one who did not have the necessary minimum, and some time later another county official was “among those present” when a local gam- bling den was raided. Not only the offi- cial but the private life of office holders is subject to the criticism of citizens, and _ justly so. The people have a right to de- mand the salutary influence of example from those who hold office. Verbum sat sapienti. a happy!

Saying this does not imply that the’ giants that bestride our economic develop- ment should not be curbed and controlled | or that the wealthy should not be made to! assume greater burdens in support of so- cial reforms. In fact, the revelations of the past few years have abundantly dis- closed evidence of evil in high places and present ample basis for widespread re- forms, which even now have not been ac- complished. It has been noticeable, the past that business men, reputable in their ways, however, in undoubtedly | have been re- luctant to point out the evils of their more culpable confreres. Rather, they have in- trenched themselves behind a barrier of abuse, directed against those who have at- tempted to improve conditions. In their own integrity they have bitterly resented any criticism of those in their field of operations, thus linking their fate with those condemned by public opinion. It is encouraging to see’ signs that this tendency is being abandoned. For example, Paul C. Cabot, president of a large invest- ment corporation, recently discussed with the Securities and Exchange Commission the situation in the investment field, ad- mitting that ‘in this new and growing in- dustry there have crept in a variety of abuses” against which the public “is en- titled to such protection as the law can give.” He qualified his remarks by add- ing if it does not “unduly hamper the ex- ercises of ability and supervision.’”’ How- ever, he made recommendations and warn- ed of possible injury that might follow certain steps. Along the same line Merryle Stanley Rukeyser, Hearst writer, described in Hearst newspapers as an “internationally famed economist and financial commenta- tor,” recently told about a thousand Am- erican bankers, at their convention in San Francisco, speaking as “a devoted ad- herent of the American system” and “not seeking to construct castles in the air,” that our “system is capable of bringing vastly greater popular economic well-be- ing than has ever before been attained any- where in the world.” He urged proper cooperation between Government and business to bring this about and deplored restrictive legislation. FARM LABOR AND WPA During the summer and early fall much complaint has been heard from farmers in various sections of the country because of the difficulty of obtaining labor RR to harvest their crops. In many-instanges this dificulty is charged to *the Works Progress Administration, whieh, it is # has absorbed a large part of the farm labor supply. F To cite only one example, an As- sociated Press dispatch states that plant- ers in northern Mississippi recently _ is- sued appeals for 3,000 cotton pickers who could not be obtained locally. Workers who once get on thes WPA payroll seem unwilling to accept private employment on farms or elsewhere. As one observer has expressed it, “they have reached the attitude of mind in which they believe the government will continue to care for them somehow and they are satis- fied.” The enormous expenditures of the WPA, devoted to a large extent to projects of little permanent value, are not only adding billions to the already unprecedent- ed national debt, but are creating in many American citizens that unhealthy “attitude of mind” which makes them unwilling to remain permanently dependent upon the government. Commenting on this situation, the Grand Rapids Press aptly said in a recent editorial : “No administration in Washington can go on paying men who decline jobs offered them in private industry. For that is not relief—it is tragic indolence, making chronic the very ills which relief seeks to alleviate,” Likewise, in the field of Happenings Here Just 10 Years | Ago Today As Taken From | The Files Of The Citizen Preparations are about com-) | plete for the grand celebration of {El Grito de Yara which will be-) gin in Key West Saturday, Octo-' {ber 9, with the arrival of the. i Gunboat Cuba from Havana. On. , the ship will be a large delegation of prominent Cuban officials who are coming to take part in the celebration. A reception will be held on board the gunboat upon: her arrival. The affair is to be attended by a number of represen-! tative Key West citizens. | | — i The commandant and officers of; jthe naval staton have planned a’ dance and reception for the visit jing officials who are scheduled to | arrive from Cuba on the Gunboat | Cuba to take part in the festivi-} {ties in connection with the cele- | bration of El Grito de Yara be- ginning in Key West Saturday | afternoon.

The football game to be played tomorrow between the Miami Stingarees and the Key West Conchs is the topic of conversa- tion between sport fans in every section of the city today. The local eleven is getting in condi- tion for the scrimmage and every member is confident of winning {the game. It is believed one of the largest crowds ever attending a football game will be present. | P. Ross Roberts has hundreds’ we friends in Key West and they will all be glad to learn of his new appointment as agent of the Peninsular and Occidental Steam- ship company in Havana. He was formerly connected with the F. E. C. Railway. i Some time ago the city council granted the Pythian Sisters. lodge permission to operate a circuy for, the benefit of the organization! but last night this request was) withdrawn in favor of the Key, West Fire Department. The coun- i cil received an application from’ Chief Ralph Pinder asking that the department receive permission! to operate a circus. Attention was called to the previous appli- cation of the Pythian Sisters, but another communication had been, received withdrawing this applica-, tion. It Was ‘then that the appli-' | eoen of the chief was acted on an@ perniksion granted” for ‘the’ operation of the circus in Decem-| ; ber. C. C.
