Forewarned of the | impending attack, the mayor sent a com- | munication to the council stating that he hed instructed the license inspector to en- | force the ordinance prohibiting saloons in | church and school areas. With the letter | he. submitted petitions from the Stone i | Church Service club, the Harris School , | Parent-Teacher association and the Mon- rece County Classroom Teacher’s Unit re- | | questing enforcement of the law par- ticularly in regards to Blackwell’s saloon | at Southard and Margaret streets. | At request of Councilman Will E. P. | Roberts the mayor’s letter and the resolu- | tions of the club and association were re- | ceived and filed. Later Councilman Rob- erts re-introduced an ordinanee, which | failed of a second ten days ago, to exempt | established saloons under the 300-foot or- dinance. This time the ordinance was | seconded and was voted upon. Couneil | President Earl Adams and Councilmen Jim Roberts and Roy Fulford joined Council- | man Will E. P. Roberts in support of the measure, | To their credit, Councilmen William T. Doughtry, Jr., William Freeman and William R. Monsalvatge voted against an ordinance, which, if passed, virtually nulli- fies an ordinance designed to protect churchgoers ani school children from an- noyance and bad example. It is to be hoped that Councilman Jim Roberts will resume his former position in this matter and join Councilmen Doughtry, Freeman and Monsalvatge in defeating this in- second and final reading. . Aside from that question, the net re- sult of the council meeting Thursday night | was to focus attention on the fact the coun- cilmen ard the administrative officials of the city are at such loggerheads the city | of Key West is unable to get the kind of | service she deserves from her public ser- | vants. The only remedy appears to be re- | vamping of the municipal government un- der a new, simple and effective city char- | ter.

Undoubtedly, labor in general is not profiting by the division in its house. With the battle at a point where the two organiza- tions take opposite sides on ques- tions that concern labor it is a cinch that those who oppose ef- {fective labor legislation will get what they want. Surely, there ought to be some that they may be placed in the and for all the members of the Way for the leaders of the Ameri- line of march.

Ordinarily garbage is scrupulously saved to be sterilized and converted into stock feed, sometimes mixed with fish meal or small quantities of crushed bar- ; ley. In short, Germany’s need for raw ma- terials is so great as to make necessary the salvage of everything possible. With all this frugality, the living conditions of the mass of the German people are said to be far below those of most other European - countries. Considering that this situation exists in & time of peace, it is hard to believe that Germany could long carry on a war with strong nations which. have far better means of obtaining supplies from the out- side.

The clash of personalities has done much harm already but unless a peace treaty can be fromulated ; by smart leaders the future may see greater damage inflicted upon the cause of the workers. It can be taken for granted | that the United States will ex- pand its naval program ‘next year. The President has already said so and there is general sup- port of the idea. With two batleships under con- struction in navy yards, three about to be given out under priv- ate contract and another planned | for navy yard construction, there is authorization for two others’ which will probably get under- way next year. While the Navy Department has been trying to formulate a | steady, annual construction pro- | gram in order that the navy will {be rounded out, the chances are | that schedule ‘will be enlarged a bit. Instead of six destroyers ‘and six submarines there will be “\more, and some additional cruis- “ers will/likely be included in the “| bill placed before the next Con- Mt aalene.

President Roosevelt would in- tensify counter-espionage work and ferret out foreign secret agents and spike their manoeu- ' vres as a part of the broader pro- gram of modernization that is taking place in the military and The Chief Ex- ecutive made a distinction be- tween the propaganda efforts of some foreign governments and their undereover agents, indicat- ing that the-government was not greatly concerned over propagan- da activities but convinced that defense deévicés and fechnique should be. safe-guarded. ' John D. Biggers, who adminis- tered the unemployment census, has submitted his resignation, ef- fective October 31, and the state- ment that although’ $5,000,000 was appropriated for thé survey it had been accomplished for’ $1,896,595. Mr. Biggers not only performed his task economically but he did a good job.
