They think they need but little restraint upon themselves, Their notion of the public interest is apt to be quite closely connected with their own ex- erelsxe of authority. The love of power may sink too deep in their own hearts even for their own security.” DANIEL WEBSTER. Buying at home is a good way to make the community prosperous, whether you believe it or not. We had understood the President had done his all to restart the industrial ma- chinery of the country, not sit down by it.

When a greater word- age is used, the effusion generally borders on propaganda. A bill is pending in.the United States senate designed to wipe out organized gambling in the District of Columbia. The number of the bill is 711. As is generally known 7 and 11 are the “naturals” in so- called African golf. The Citizen heartily agrees with that staunch Democrat, Carter Glass, when in a radio talk he denounces the practice of federal employees leaving their duties to roam over the land making propaganda speeches favoring this or that particular whim of the administration. ' the project had been finally disa; = lait gye on matters of interest’to us; and on fxveprésentation they can be counted on to “manifest their ability in our behalf and itamw lying useless beneath our, pavements, Many inquiries have come to The Citi- wen with reference to the transfer of prop- erty and the giving of the deeds therefore without the payment of taxes, and if such transactions are lawful. Insofar as_ this writer can determine they are lawful pro- vided the purchaser is made aware of the taxes or other obligations due, and the document states that the sale is made sub- ject thereto. The only remedy is that the officials do their duty and demand the payment of taxes according to the law. n dispatch which might be considered dismaying to our people, if'we. had not not fatal and that sooner or later we can surmount discouraging conditions. For this dispatch informs us that “plans for’a new water main in Key, West | were abrupt terminated today when’ th Public Works Administration’ annoyne that the application for federal: ‘ani is-for pproved.” Napoleon is said to have | been... ap; proached by one of his generals with the sad tidings, “The battle is lost.” out his watch, the Little Corporal calmly looked at it and informed his aid that in that case, it was “time to start another battle.” In this spirit we will take up that matter cf bringing water to the mains which have been laid in our streets and which, unless they are used for their des- tined purpose, are the sorriest of ‘‘boon- doggles,” We have just employed, with an ad- vance payment of $2,000.00, the firm of Hill & Treadway in Washington, to keep diheosupposition that when Wwe need special pte atk furnish. it, : Right “now” as our Chief Executive puts it, is a very excellent time for them to ‘their interest in a matter most vital to the client from whom they have accepted a retainer, Providentially, today marks a for- ward step on the part of Key West. Qur people, taking heart from the tide of pros- perity»rising all about them; have set in motion an organized Chamber of Com- merce which will be a clearing house for public opinion and a point at which pub- lic sentiment may crystalize and become a mandate of a united people. Rest assured that we did not bury our hopes for a tropical town of marvel- lous beauty, equipped with modern sani- tation, when the dirt was shovelled in on those water pipes. Rather, with them was planted the seed of a determination that Key West should not for long remain handicapped by the lack of a_ bountiful supply of water. That determination may be consider- ed as a fixed factor in all of our plans for the future. Just what ascendant evil star has thwarted-our hopes ‘for’ the moment, would be an excellent problem for our} elected and our employed representatives } in Washington to begin solving. | And, whether that problem is solved or not, a still more important one demands the immediate attenfidn of elected repre- sentatives, employed legal talent, and our own Chamber of Commerce,—when and how do we get that water without which our best efforts to avail ourselves of our natural advantages can make little head- peer Scion Somehow, we are not greatly cast down byi this reversal. There is one suf- fiéién® reason why be believe that water | Will presently flow through | those pipes} ‘biirried at a tremendous cost’ of labor. That reason is the best in the world. WE HAVE GOT TO HAVE WATER. And what an American city has got to} have, it usually manages to get. At any rate, Messrs. Andrews, Pep- per, Wilcox, Hill & Treadway in Wash- ington, and our unfledged Chamber of Commerce, have their work cut out for! them; and we are counting on the Cham- ber of Commerce to step right out of its shell and into action for the community which has placed upon it its seal of ap- proval.
