ag — Pies GE TV Pa 3 ed Daily #xcept Sunday By CITIZEN PUBLISHING CO., INC, THE ANTI-LYNCHING BILL After something like six weeks of con- stant filibustering in the Senate, where Senators from the Southern States fought passage of the so-called anti-lynching bill, the measure was laid aside last week by a vote of 58 to 22 in order that other busi- ness could be considered. That the long debate was unfortunate in that it tended to revive sectionalism, without complete assurance’* of «-effective- ness in preventing lynchings, {8 réaspyaply plain. The lynching evil has-been attacked by the leaders of the South ‘ahd the record demonstrates that the crime is ‘gradually disappearing.

The moral of this, if any, is two-fold: Parents whose children are young should Bathing Pavilion, Airports—Land and Sea. Consolidation of County and City Governments.

There is a rumor afloat in Miami that the representatives of an advertising agency will sweep down upon Key West and “milk this city and county dry”, as it was expressed. As this column has stated many times the merchants of this city should insist on the endorsement of the Chamber of Commerce of any advertising before contributing. From now on almost daily schemers will deseend upon the city to inveigle merchants and business men to part with hard earned money wrung from small profits for multi- farious advertising schemes, mostly a questionable character.
