A good Prima facie evidence: A, black eye. —tTimes-Union. That's a dandy; wish we had thought of it first. A resident of Key West, besides other things, is called a Key Wester. Now what is a resident from Fort Myers called? The city fathers said they would en- force the tax collection law; now let us see them do it. Action speaks louder than words. ' Every nation will wind up with a diec- fator if a laissez-faire is adopted by the people. Eterna] vigilance is still the price of liberty. To radio listeners it seemed that Chief Justice Hughes who administered the’ presidential oath to Franklin Delano Roosevelt put in a little extra lung power to the words “defend the Cénstitution.” The Roosevelt weather luck ran out on him on his inauguration day. Wash- | ington was freezing, rainy and damp, and ihe spectators and auditors had to scurry for cover just as the ceremony concluded. Heywood Broun, the columnist, thinks President Roosevelt is grooming himself for a third term. We believe Roosevelt is possessed of too much common sense_ to entertain that thought, but his chauvinistic followers may make it hard for him to de-- cline what he as well as every American knows will spell sure defeat. C. Grover Flint, a frequent contribu- tor to the columns of The Citizen, is also a! Key West “booster”, although he is not a resident of the island. In the Springfield | Republican, an outstanding newspaper of | Massachusetts with a large circulation, he had a very interesting article about this city and its “neighborly” people. H “Can we get a bet that the Barrie- Barrymore marriage will disintegrate} within a year?” in these columns on November 16 laste, A | few days ago Elaine sued John for di- | vorce. There were no -takers on this} wager, so it is to be presumed that all} who read the implied prediction were of | the same opinion. | Senator hhurst suggests that there should be a law making the giving of ran- som money a felony, in the belief that} such an injunction would prevent or at least diminish kidnaping. Once the chance | for profit is taken away from this das-| tardly crime, the problem is_ solved, for, the chief incentive is the quick acquisition | of wealth. Seldom does any other motive j enter a kidnaping case, THEORY VS. PRACTICE It is good to know a lot, but it is even better to be able to do things. Many per- sons who have at their command a con- | siderable assortment of information are | unable to put it to very much. practical use. This was neatly illustrated in a sort of “confession” article by a teacher in a recent educational publication. She said:! | “T can solve a quadratic equation, but I cannot keep my bank account straight, | “IT can name the Kings of England | since the War of the Roses, but I do not} know the qualifications of the candidates | in a state election. | “I know the economic theories’ of! Malthus and Adam Smith, but I cannot live within my income. “I can explain the principles of hy- draulics, but I cannot fix a leak in the} kitchen faucet. “I have studied the psychology of James and Titchener, but I cannot control my temper. “I can conjugate Latin verbs, but I cannot write legibly.” While this picture may be somewhat overdrawn, it serves to illustrate the futility of much ‘that passes for education, when its acquisition is not accompanied by train- ing which leads to its useful employment in every day life.

C., when the re-election of Mayor L. D.

If he is| not permitted to write about it, why not forbid him to talk about it? And now another scandal has come} to light. A Chicago high school checker | player has been caught red-handed play-, ing in a tournament for money. Five dol-} lars was the prize, and that makes him a professional.
