It is well to remember that goodness, like virtue, is its own reward. In other words, gratitude is as searce as hens’ teeth, “To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst then not be’ a Charley McCarthy to any man. . Frankly, we do not see how fishermen in 1988 can tell any bigger-Jies than have been told by fishermen in the past. Imagi- nation has its limits. : It’s a good thing that the average American, grumbling about taxes in 1988, camnot get a look at the tax bills that he will be paying in 1948. : In considering the nomination of the new head of the democratie state commit- tee, we recall the Bard of Avon’s assurance that there’s nothing in a name, _ Once more the time has arrived for Uncle Sam to present his bill to various nations for the war debts they owe him, and once again the collector will be asked to call again.

The Island Empire has a great many prob- lems, difficult of solution and although the Chinese venture is wrong, in our opinion, the Japanese are not the only people in the world who have made a mistake. Peace in the Far East will not be made permanent through the progressive hu- miliation of Japan. Of eourse, Japanese. defeat is by no means certain but it is much nearer than it was when the fighting commenced last year, If, as we hope, the Chinese defenders surprise the world and | exhibit the lasting power necessary to | thwart Japanese aggression, the day will come when the world can surprise Japan. Other nations can then demonstrate their friendship for the Japanese and, by refus- ing to take advantage of the situation, help ‘the Japanese to take a worthy place in the ranks of civilized nations. SIDELIGHTS By MARCY B. DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen Although he sticks to his horse and buggy, Frank Dyer of Whitewater, Wis., has his turnout equipped with modern ac- cessories, including radio, spot light, side- lights, tail light and other electrical gad- gets, for which juice is supplied by a stor- age battery. Diana Sims, born a few days ago, is Chicago’s first “alimony baby.” By the terms of a divorce granted last December, her mother will receive $20 a month from the father for support of the child, the amount to be increased at five-year inter- vals until a maximum of $40 is reached. A revival of an old Western custom in modern form is reported from Arkansas, where state police have arrested 16 per- sons charged with eattle rustling. The thieves are said to have gone about locat- ing the animals in daytime, night to'load them in motor trucks and de- liver them to stockyards early next morn- ing. of New Castle, Ind., amid the wreckage of his ear holding a dead rat in his, hand. Shaffer said the rat had crawled up his trousers leg and caused him to lose control of the car. When Frank Kuletzki of Cleveland re- sisted two holdup men, one of them fired a pistol at his heart. He fell to the ground, but managed to get up and call for aid, At a hospital physiejans found the bullet had been deflected by a cigarette case, and was lodged in his necktie.

Yesterday a compro- |mise on universal rates for all sec- |tions of the country was decided. |The first year the law is effec- \ tive, the wage seale will be 25 {cents an hour, the seeond year 30 leents, but after that advisory | boards for each industry would | choose higher minimum rates. Ar- jguments given are that freight | rates from producer to distributor jin the South are higher and | boosts the overhead, and living |eosts for the workman are lower. The agreement practically means | that the seale will not go beyond | 30 cents an hour or $14.40 a week | the lowest weekly wage. Com- | plete clearing of the tense atmos- |phere and of the problem has not | been effected by the move,.,Per- haps the Northern worker could ‘stand a Higher wage, but no pro- vision has been made.‘The ‘réason is that the government is trai tionally expeeted to. be, equally fair to all. However fairness is based on conditions, and not on blanket fairness. The South is satisfied but is the North? We have taxes on property valuation, location, etc., why not labor wage differences. A more comprehen- janalyzation of the overhead and | praductiveness of sectional indus- ‘tries might have been effected. |HARLAN MURDER In the Harlan trial in which coal mine officials are accused of jhiring deputy sheriffs to intimi- | date unionizers by a Reign of Terror, witnesses yesterday testi- | fied that a car in which were a |number of union workers was ambuscaded and fired upon. In \that affray one fellow was wound- led. Another witness swore that his brother had been killed with- out a chance to defend himself. It was the first evidence that murder had been committed in Harlan county, There is no use comparing this Reign of Terror to that in France in an effort to deplore the backward March of Civilization. Fory hill-billy Ken- tucky, land af pioneer blood, stubbly beards, rifles, and quick |tempers is a land born of primi- tive America and not of oppressed Frenchmen, That’s just the way they do things there. | WAR FLOODS | Fighting with their back against | the Yellow river one Chinese bat- |talion now finds the river even |Tising against them.

Editorial comment: It will take 40 buses to handle the crowds taveling between Key West and Miami this fall and winter, John F. Lovell, of the Lovell Bus Lines, predicts. Well, everybody in Key West is perfectly willing to learn that Mr. Lovell has underestimat- ed the case. An anniversary entertainment in honor of Mrs. Lilly Pinder will be given next Monday night by Temple 20 Pythian Sisters. The entertainment will begin at 7:30 o’clock and be followed by a business meeting. Pastors of the three Methodist churches in Key West will attend the Florida conference which will be held in the church at Semi- nole Heights in Tampa, beginning next Wednesday. Reverend C. S. Gardner has already left for the west coast city and Reverend L. Munro and Reverend E: L. Ley will leave Monday. George Allan England and Mrs. England, who spend their winters in Key West, will sail from New York tomorrow, according to Frank W. Lovering, another an- nual winter visitor. County commissioners held a session today at which only cur- rent bilis were approved and ord- ered paid. The fegular meeting which was to have been held last night was postponed until today.

I cannot be bother- ed with such a subject.” But this is a most erroneous state of mind, for law touches and affects our lives more clodely than clothes, or streets, or eyen sanitation.
