FR Miami has both licit and illicit gam- bling, to suit every taste and pocketbook. Don’t get the idea that everybody is working against you; many of them don’t even know you are around, Most people suffer from some form of fear called phobia, and the one most gen- eral is “ergariaphobia”, fear of work. Our own prediction: There will be much money made in 1937. Get your share, and don’t begrudge those who make a little more than you. There is a reason for the laxity in col- lecting the city taxes by the city council. The Citizen will find the reason, and un- hesitatingly publish the facts, as soon as they become available. SE coat RARE The liver is not one of the five vital organs of the body but it vitally affects a person's disposition, and we would rather hear a less lusty voice than a white-livered individual—the so-called grouch, Pope Pius XI, though suffering in- tense pain, did not lose his sense of humor, When asked if he desired more doctors at his bedside he said: “I wish no more doc- tors. One doctor is sufficient to kill a man.” The Citizen has been criticised for stating that a drunken person was found to be very ill. If you think a person-dead drunk is not sick, ask one. who knows, Liquor is poison, and its over-consumption| leaves a person in a sickened condition, Governor Cone has extended until February 1, the expiration date for the payment of 1937 automobile licenses in Florida, but that’s the limit says his secre- tary, W. Branch Cone. What the gover- nor should determine now is the date when the 1936 automobile licenses become due as there are some of that vintage utilizing | the streets of Key West. It has been estimated that a person flying in an airplane is twice as safe as when he is driving his own automgbile. That brings to mind the danger of auto transportation. So be careful while: driv- ing your car and do not endanger your life as well as the lives of others by careless driving. Tearful regrets do. not. . bring back the life”you have destroyed. In Miami the collections of the city on January 9 were 46.5 higher than on the same date one year previous, the Miami Daily News states. The city attorney’s of- | fiee found that listening to the sobs of tax | dodgers got it nowhere and used business methods with gratifying results.

Roose- velt tomorrow and the beginning of the 75th Congress this month mark something of a turning point in the history of the United States, -whether most of us realize . | it or not. The purpose of the Norris amend- ment, which changed the inauguration from March to January and provided for the newly elected Congress to meet in January instead of in the following De- cember, was to make government more responsive to popular will. This result would have been greatly emphasized had the people of this nation elected Governor Landon and a Republican Congress. It is none the less true, regardless of the fact that no great change of policies will re- sult. It is apparent, from the election re- sults, that the people of the nation have endorsed the New Deal in the method set up by Americans to decide such _ issues. The voice of the people has spoken, whether wisely or foolishly, and the ver- dict is reasonably plain. Should it be ignored. or obeyed? Believers in the American system will advocate obedience to the popular will, whether they espouse or detest the Roosevelt program. Any other course would mean the corruption of American democracy, which is not to be countenanced. This does not mean, in our view, that those who are against the New Deal should abandon their rights as true Americans to work for what they think is the best in- terests of the Republic. ‘They should, and can, serve their country by vigorous op- position, which is usually necessary to se- cure good government. The fight, how- ever, should always be open, above board and directed toward the people them- selves, who in the final analysis, have the right to make ultimate decisions in re. gard to leaders and policies. There is no reason for Americans to forget the virtues of their government or desert its principles. Temporary political fortunes may vary the expression of pop- ular self-government but they do not at- tack the foundation faith upon which this republic must base its continued exist- ence. Ever and anon, both in party suc- cess and party failure, loyal Americans must resolutely adhere “of the people, by the people.” to a government people and for the $50,000,000 TO HELP BOYS Charles Hayden, private banker of New York, last week left almost his en- tire estate of about $50,000,000 to estab- lish a charitable foundation for the educa. tion of boys and young men and the ad- vancement of their “moral, mental and physical well-being.” Mr. Hayden was an officer and direc- tor in fifty-eight corporations, including some of the leading industrial and utility corporations of the country. He was never married but he was firmly convineed that the “future of this nation, and 208, the world for that matter, depends in no small X part upon the young men of the United States.” He believed that if they received the proper training ‘‘we shall rear a nobler race of men, who shall make better and more enlightened citizens, to the ultimate benefit of mankind.” The gift emphasizes again that in this country it is common for men of great wealth to leave huge sums for the general |‘ good. It certainly is to their credit. Whether it would be wiser, and a sour of greater joy to them, to distribute su plus wealth during their life-time, pe haps in the form of higher pay to workers, is debatable. BETWEEN 20 AND 45 Army experts pay attention to such statistics as the number of b the age of twenty years eve par and like to know the’ male population of a country between the ages of 20 and years. Germany, during 1937, will have | 313,700 youths reaching twenty which gives it an advantage over Great Britain’s 296,900 and France's 171,000. Moreover, according to the German Army Year Book for 1937, in 1950 Germany will have at her disposal 12,994,000 men of only 8,721,000 and France 6,790,000 | strated their abiity on former occa- sions and local lovers of the sport | j are looking forward to some fast! ~ | games. | reaching 45 | years, | KEY WEST IN | DAYS GONE BY | Happenings Here Just 10 Yeare!
