Mr. Pendergast who is going in re- treat fer about 15 months will have plenty time f@ cogitate on the significance of the first Hable of his name—that it is “migiftier than the sword,” and a whole lot wd¥se. The Key West Citizen remarks that “The brain is that part of the body too seldom used by many people.” Another trouble is that folks who think they’re mentally equipped with plenty of “spares” use them overtime.—Times-Union, Hemingway, Carter, Strable—eminent nameg7jn the literary world—all residents of Monroe County, the former two of Key West.~ With such a~- prominent nucleus, Key West and Monroe County will some day have a colony of outstanding person- ages in the world of literature, and _per- haps ia other arts. After two unsuccessful starts, F. W. Woolwérth opened his third store at Lan- caster; Pa., 60 years ago, which proved such # success that the entire stock valued at $30 was sold the very first day. Now the Woolworth Company is an institution of immense proportions, and pays hand- some dividends, one Key Wester alone re- ceiving.jn dividends what the first profit- able stgre had as stock on the opening day. = INFORMAL PASSAGE The passage in the Senate yesterday of House Bill 1599, granting a new charter to Key West recalls the premature an- nouncement by the Associated Press made mistakes, and really it is a wonder that sentatives of the. press. of the introducers. The clerk reads very fast ard does not read the bills or even their full titles. out by number the senator interested in each indicates whether he wants it passed says “pass it” or “informally pass it” but sometimes he merely nods motions with his hand. The clerk reads on until the end of the list is reached. Then all bills to be passed are acted on group with one roll call which merely is the reading of the senators’ names without their even answering the roll. The bills that were “informally passed” are merely kept in, the segretary’s desk until the sen- ator wantsto have them passed. Neither those passed.,ior those held over for later action are*printed or read in full. It is all.very confusing, especially when it is considered that about three bills a minute are handled in this manner. When House Bill 1599 reached ‘the Ward to say “pass it” when in fact the senator said “informally pass it.” Thus the error was made, and so wired to The Citizen. The bill has now passed the Senate and .will be referred to the electorate next November for acceptance or rejection, pro- vided 25 per cent of the registered voters have signed a petition within 90 days for the referendum. THE FOOLISH DICTATORS It is difficult to see any wisdom in the and_ well- contributing to the happiness either in the near or distant future. Surely Mussolini’s conquest of Ethiopia does not appear to have improved the condition of the Italian people, while Hitler’s seizure of Austria and the annexation of the Sude- ten area have been of no economic benefit to Germany. Both Italy and Germany cry about a lack of raw materials, yet they squander the raw materials they already have on armaments and preparations for war. This at a time when both nations are virtually ‘bankrupt, and no other nation has any thought of attacking them. S By their arrogance and their threats to the peace of the world, Hitler and Mus- solini have incurred the enmity of peace- loving nations; which are “forced to incur enormous debts to:provide means. of de- fense against the menace of aggression. This enmity is heightened by ‘the per- secutions and general ruthlessness which mark the dictators’ policies toward certain racial and religious groups of their own citizens. Even such powerful rulers as_ these can not afford, in the long.run, to be hated by levers of liberty and justice throughout the world. The policies which provoke such hatred are utterly foolish, and may le eventually lead to disaster for all nations, including Germany and Italy. BIG FAIRS AND LITTLE ONES The nation now boasts two splendid world fairs, one in California and the other in New York. The Federal government is repre- sented at both expositions: by handsome structures, which cost considerable money. These world fairs are creditable en- terprises but they are not the only fairs that will operate in the United States this year. Soon there will begin a procession of “county fairs” that will move from one end of the nation to the other. In most of these county, or com- munity, fairs the United States govern- ment will not be represented. Personally, we see no reason why the government should-spend five or ten million dollars to participate in two large expositions and then not spend a part of that. amount to make available to smaller fairs.
