Since that right is a price- ' less privilege denied the citizens of many countries it should be protected against the onslaughts of power-hungry individuals. a dictatorship in the United States. The best way to prevent that kind of government is to give expres- sion to our views at the ‘polls.

It is important to have honest, courageous. and _ patriotic the state senate and in the halls of Con- gress. There is only one way to put such men in office—by voting for them. The Citizen has little sympathy for the taxpayer who yells to the high heavens when a dishonest man is elected to office and we find he did not take the trouble to register and vote. If honest citizens do not vote, dishonest public officials slip in- Now is the time to act. A FRANK STATEMENT At the beginning of every political campaign a multitude of candidates throw their hats in the ring with the time-worn wheeze to the effect that they do so “at OF words to that effect. A refreshing reception to such tactics is seen in the statement of Jim Daly of Walker county, Alabama, as reported by the Jasper Mountain Eagle, which says: “Jim Daly explains why he didn’t en- ter the race for sheriff this year. Several candidates, Jim says, lay the blame on their friends for getting them into races, they entered the races at the solici- tation of their friends. Jim says he asked his friends about running for sheriff and they advised him not to run. “Jim says he appreciates the advice of his friends. He will not realize his ambition to serve the people of Walker as | their sheriff, but, he says, if a store is rob- bed, a house burned or a member of some one’s family is murdered they will send | for Jim Daly as usual. “Jim says all he regrets is that he has | spent so’ much time kissing babies, think- ing he was going 'to-run.” .—1. MUSSOLINI, THE WAR ADVOCATE Premier Mussolini last week took the world into his confidence and boasted that Italy possessed the world’s largest sub- marine fleet, that the nation’s air force was among the best and that 9,000,000 men wait to march under his command. Of course, Il Duce was full of peace; and abeve all “our peace.” He advised that the “best defense is offense” and “that which has always counted and still counts among peoples their war-making ability.” Significantly, Mussolini advised the Italian people to organize their existence in small towns and villages, warning them that once mobi ion began there. would he no facilities for mass movements of populations to avoid the horrors of civilian bombardments. American citizens, whe read such statements, find it hard to believe that the responsible head of a large nation be- lieves it necessary to miake such declara- tiens. Some of them blandly pass it up with the thought that Mussolini is talking fer home consumption and to boost Italian morale. A few are convinced that Mus- solini intends submarines, his vir force and his army in an effort to carve : phvee in the sun for Italy and a place in history for himself along with the Caesars. is to use his of | publig | servants handling our local problems, sit-"' | ting in the state house of representatives, the | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ‘ODAY’S COMMON ERROR Comparable is pro- nounced kam’-pa-ra-bl: not kom-par’-a-bl. rane | TE T YOUR KNOWLEDGE Can you answer seven of these test questions?

The county has begun to adver- tise the Overseas Highway. Dis- play advertisements are now ap- pearing every other day in pa- pers throughout the state, and it is considered likely that they will begin to appear every day within a short time. Several members of the board felt that it would be wise to go into the publishing of these advertisements at an ear- lier date, but they were not dis- cussed with an end in view until last week. The matter wil’ come ,up forefurther consideration at the next meeting of the board. and final announcements will be made. There will be another league game tomorrow between the Young Sluggers and Monroes at Gato Park. It will start at 10 o'clock, and the lineup will be essentially the same as in the first game several weeks ago.
