The Citizen is an open forum and invites discus- sion of public issues and subjects of local or general interest but it will not publish anonymous communi- cations. The rising son, in order to arrive at his full: height in the sunlight of success, must rise with the sun. A young New York bandit who started out by robbing a subway guard evidently believes in beginning at the bottom. Travelers nowhere find such genuine hospitality as exists in Key West. Let‘s continue to make it outstanding. If noth- ing else, like Chesterfields, “it satisfies.” Alphabetical students can identify some of the initials which designate the various government activities, such as the RA, ERA, HOLC, RFC, etc., (the latter does not represent a government agency and is therefore printed in lower case) but they are often confused between PWA and WPA. All of us, of course, learned early what ABC stancs for. After the highway into Key West is completed, the trailers and housing in general will be its problem. This con- clusion is gained from the trend apparent everywhere. The automobile has made the human race, naturally nomadic, more than ever travel-conscious. Another hu- man characteristic is to go to the limit, and that is Key. West—topographically speaking. Havana, 90 miles from Key West, is the nearest point where the American traveler may enjoy European. atmosphere without the greater expense of crossing the Atlantic, and Key West with its for- eign element, has absorbed some of this atmosphere. That, too, besides its in- herent beauty, makes a visit to this hos- pitable city attractive and one long to be remembered. Its influence gone becadd of its one wrong prediction, the Literary Digest has been sold to the Review of iews, and its identity will be merged or ther sub- merged iji that periodical. w its election canvas it made one fatal errér by not taking into account the millions on relief, who in turn influenced other millions. It is natural to vote one’s bread and butter as well as his prejudices, While attempting to cross a street in Point Pleasant, N. J., the writer waited fully five minutes before a parade of automobiles going south one way and north the other gave him the opportunity to pass safely across. When the road to the mainland is completed this will be a scene often to be witnessed in Key West, and 's a prophecy anyom@-can make with-| out fear of fulfillment: “Among the precious inheritance which is given to man is the desire to save and eventually to have a competency, but not! his son James as his secretary. and was in- ; all avail themselves of this desire, and it is their friends. REPETITION UNNECESSARY With much sympathy toward families of the lost aviators it might not be amiss to suggest that repetition of the Earhart flight is unnecessary. Search by naval planes failed to locati the missing woman and her companion and after nearly three weeks it seems that} hope for their survival is extremely du- bious. SIDELIGHTS By MARCY B. DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen The total property investment of the country’s railroads is more than 26 billion dollars. Oddly enough, any demagogue who happens to get elected to Congress is instantly endowed with sufficint brains to run them all—to hear him teil it. After ages of research and investiga- tion, a simple definition of love has been found. Dr. C. C. Reed of Rochester, N. Y., states it thus: *'Love is a psychic phyer- metamorphosis leading to hypercenesthesia and megalomania resulting in an angio- pathic neurasthenia.” J. C. Duerksen, a medicine peddler, has as his best customer a Chyenne Indian at Weatherford, Okla., who is always in the market for.a-bottle of cough syrup. The redskin uses it to sweeten his break- fast pancakes. Three damage suits were filed against W. J. Guilbert of Buffalo, who was al- leged to have been guilty of driving “carelessly, negligently and at a danger- ous rate of speed.” All that makes the story unusual is that Mr. Guilbert is safety director of the city’s chamber of com- merce. Even modern women should be kept on a pedestal, and the brass rail of a“ bur! room is no pedestal. So reasoned the. Cgn- necticut legislature recently in | passing «# law prohibiting women from drinking’ in barrooms standing up. The girlsamay now partake in public only in places where seats are provided. The following “calamity recipe’ is going the rounds: “One stewed prune, one pickled peach, one date. See that prune and peach are well saturated with brandy or gin, then place in seat of one high-powered coupe and leave on road about 30 minutes. Garnish with bits of broken glass and serve cold on a stretcher. Also is extremely attractive with flowers in light-colored box with silver trimmings.” A notary public has one power, at least, not enjoyed by the President of the United States. This fact was brought out recently when President Roosevelt, as 3& matter of sentiment, wanted to swear in ad- formed that he had no authority to over these that the New Deal government | minister an oath. is so paternalistically concerned. “A penny saved is a penny earned” is outmoded, and Ray Miller, a postal employee at the new thought is to pay higher wages in| Bristow, Okla., paid 28 cents postage on a order to increase the spending power, but/ registered, special delivery letter to his this wealth will eventually find itself in | girl in the same town.

It is true that the interests of farm- ers and laborers are harmonious to a certain extent. Both are interested in an. abundant supply of consumable )8gods.-as,without such a supply their state of well-being would necessarily “16w.* Both are’ interested, there- fore, in’asettled political, economic, Anddrencialesnomeition yo teers en- .souragemen: ample production. ne er netsiaing this fundamental armbny. ‘of’ fi’#rests, there is also a isiarmofiy2 The! farmers want not only, @(large;output, but high prices for their product; and this reduces the purchasing power of the laborer’s wages. The laborers, in turn, want high wages, but this leads to high prices for the products of labor, and thus reduces the purchasing power of the farmer's dollar. Obviously the objective to be sought is a balanced state of production, in which the purchasing power of farm- ers is adequate to enable them to buy the abundant supply of goods pro- duced by the laborers, and the pur- chasing power of laborers is adequate to enable them to buy the abundant crops of the farmers. But if this bal- to that end wage increases were fa- vored. But this policy ran head-on into the AAA policy, for the wage increases led to price increases, and these reduced the purchasing power of the farmers, whose inadequate pur- | chasing power was believed to be the | principal source of the difficulty. j The NRA came to a well-deserved end, but crop curtailment schemes | continued, despite the fact that the | earlier measures were Sound t0 be without constitutional crop curtailment program plus Pom } the desired parity, for ac- succeeded in restoring fording to the Departurent ot cording to ee a eee 1910-1914 prices by sul same percent: i 's0-call Hed. 2a ices are, But will they’ ther the face of the widen tent eccless in wages resulting from a wave @f is to follow?
