We have long suspected that a good many of them do it out of pure cussedness. After all is said and done, the best way to get your money is to work for it and the surest way is to earn it by hard work, and also the most satisfactory.

John Bunyan, author of the immortal “Pilgrim’s Progress,” spent many years in j When a certain Quaker came to isit him, and declared that the Lord had| ordered him to seek out John Bunyan, the latter replied, “If the Lord had sent you, you need not have taken so much trouble to find me; for the Lord knows that I have been a prisoner in Bedford Jail for the | last 12 years!” Because of the smashing _ democratic victory, there are some nervous souls who are fearing that our two-party-system has! gone to pot and that, willy-nilly, we are in for a cycle of personal government. So long as the opposing party can point to 40 per cent of the electorate, there is no danger that there will be permanently only one political party. In a free coun- try this could never be, and the United States will not adopt a form of govern- ment radically differing from the one that has served us well since the government was founded. | Houdi| LINCOLN VS. STANTON Lincoln’s reliance upon Stanton, his great secretary of war, is well known. They did not always agree, however, and Stanton seems to have felt entirely free to oppose his chief upon occasion. % Some official correspondence dug up by a writer for the Boston Herald is re- markable for its illustration of this point, ' as well as being an indication that few words were wasted by these giants in mak- ing their respective views known. It seems that Lincoln wanted a certain man ap- pointed an Army chaplain. Stanton ob- jected with apparent success, as the cor- respondence quoted indicates: “Dear Stanton: Appoint this man chaplain in the Army. A. Lincoln.” “Dear Mr. Lincoln: He preacher. E. M. Stanton.” “Dear Stanton: is not a He is now. A Lin- | , coln.” “Dear Mr. Lincoln: But there is no vacancy. KE. M. Stanton.” “Dear Stanton: Appoint him chap- lain-at-large. A Lincoln.” “Dear Mr. Lincoln: There is no war- rant in law for that. E. M. Stanton.” “Dear Stanton: Appoint him A Lincoln.” “Dear Mr. President: M. Stanton.” any- how. I will not. E. A KILLING COMBINATION The automobile has undoubtedly rev- olutionized social life in the United States. Its effects are felt in every hamlet of the land where good roads and cheap cars and trucks have speeded up the economic pro- cesses. Even the morals of youth, we are told, have been affected by customs that developed with the automobile. There are benefits that must be at- tributed to the transportation provided by motor vehicles when one considers the so- cial, economic and cultural fields of hu- man activity. They are too apparent to be denied. The motor car, however, has given us an unusual problem, which, it seems, de- mands greater thought if we are to save the lives of some of the thousands who are killed every year in accidents along the highways. What the solution may prove to be remains uncertain. Highways are being improved, automobiles are more powerful and the American’s lust for speed greater than ever. Together, the three make a killing combination without pre- cedent in the nation so far as we have been able to discover. NO WORD FROM THE DEAD Some weeks ago we called attention to the final effort which would be made by the widow of the famous magician, Harry Houdini, to get in touch with the spirit of her departed husband on _ the tenth anniversary of his death. Before Mr. died, he made an agreement with hat whoever went first would try -¥eath the other with a message from the outside world and a pre-arranged mes- ge, phrased in code, was adopted. PMrs. Houdini recently ‘arranged to stage the final seance, “hoping,” but stated beforehand that although thous- ands of mediums and _spiritualists pre- tended to have a message for her from her husband, no part of the pre-arranged mes- sage “had ever come through to me.” The last seance was not different in results from the others and no message came from the departed dead. GO NAKED TO AVOID PNEUMONIA When we read of the customs of primitive people we are apt to remark to ourselves upon the strangeness of the ways of mankind. We seldom stop to think that our ways seem just as strange or to imagine that, perhaps, somehow . we might be able to learn from these almost savage human beings. < Down around the Solomon Islands, in the Southwest Pacific, the native men buy’ their wives, paying as much as twenty-five pigs for a choice mate and as little as five or ten for widows. A missionary relates that the inhabitants wear no clothes be- cause experience had shown that if they were dressed and got wet they caught pneumonia. If some of our intelligent citizens remember this Tdea they might save their own lives. | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN KEY T IN Soccececgvecoceoseceoses DAYS GONE BY |.
