Yesterday is gone and tomorrow has not arrived; so why not live right today? Success would be more desirable if successful men ever had time to have any fun. Fable: All the church people of Key West ate doing what the preachers tell them to do. While no man living is ah entirely free agent, the one free of debt is the nearest thing to it. Once we asked humbly and_ piously for our daily bread—now we demand it sliced and buttered. The Gerrians are now powerful enough again to covet their neighbors’ property. Only force will halt the in- tended robbery. Once again this column would like to remind everyone, particularly public of- fice holders, to conduct themselves in such a manner that they need not read this .-teluinn with trepidation. ~ Secretary Harry Hopkins was re- ~instated in the Methodist church at Grin- ll, Ia., his home town. It is natural to assume that the move is with an eye to ,the presidency. On the other hand Farley “sees his feligion as a deterrent. to his poli- | tical aspirations. The great American pastime is driv- ing-a Lincoln when the pocketbook : ¢allls for a Pordand trying to keep up with that ~mythical family of “Jonéses,” and _ gen- erally living beyond our income, instead of putting a few coins of the realm aside for the inevitable rainy day. Most of ts seem to have the impres- “sion engraved in our craniums that the end ofthe rainbow is so very far away, when as a fact it is nearly always right where _.we are. Remember the story about the “Tittle boy and girl, Tytyl and Mytyl, in Maeterlinck’s “Blue Bird,” who -went all _ over the world looking for the ble bird of happiness and found it at last right at home. Pity the man who never makes 4 this- take. at man never learns. He goes through life entirely unaware of the rem- édy for 4 tiistake. Héhry Ford says he never has made a mistake, for any wrong -thing K€ has done is the only way he could -ever learh not to do it. This would lead 2us to believe that a mistake is a part of all “edudation. A mistake is a necéssary part ~of oir daily ilistraction. But to repeat this ‘same mistake over and over again, with- “cut learning to rectify and qiialify, is the wae mistake of all. Thank heavens made a mistake. Life i this towh Ge less sweet if such a situation THE NEW CITY CHARTER | A new city charter for, Key West has been passed by thé State Legislature, Act- | Ward the Senate added an amendment charter to invoke a referendum. House and eelone is a part of the char- ter act. Under this aniondieit the charter must be approved; by a majority of the qualified voters of Key West—if 25 per cént of the electors petition city ‘ouncil within 90 days'for a referendum at a SPECIAL election and if the council calls | a special election. In the event no referen- dum is demanded, the new charter _ auto- matically becomes law and the present | day period allowed those wishing to peti- tion for a-referendum. It is obvious, therefore, that the next move is up to the opponents of the new charter. -Should they choose to ask city council to call a special referendum elec- better form of snunicipal government prob- ably will be able to muster approxithately | 700 signatures to their petitions. That figure, about represents 25 per cent.of the qualified voters of the city. Principal opponents of the new char- ter appear to be-some of our city officials | and ou¥ city employes. They feel their positions ‘or their jobs will be affected by the provisions of the new charter, 80 | | naturally they are opposed to any change | in municipal affairs. Their opposition | clearly indicates they want things to re- ter. reason why our city ethployes should be opposed to the change. Under the néw charter they are given full examinations if they have been on their jobs for one year. would be affected by this provision. Then, too, our city employes will find some, hope of getting their wages when them wider the new charter. it tightens | up thé tax colection system, a provision that, properly enforced, will make all our property owners taxpayers. If the muni- cipal taxes «are paid our municipal em- ployes will be paid. Just why Senator Ward attached the referendum aiendment to the charter is not clear to supporters of the document. referendum and it is called by the city council it will cost the taxpayers a sizable sum for election expenses. It would be a nancial expense by calling a referendum on a measure that will give Key West bet ter taxation machinery for financing need- ed improvements, sponsoring WPA proj- | eéts and for other vital requirements to | visitors, investors and residents. The Citizen believes the new charter vants. INSTITUTIONS OF GREAT SERVICE ° One of the reasons that leads us: to retain faith in the ultimate salvation of what we call the humiah race is the in- térest shown in the churches and schools of the United States. Go into almost any community of this great republic and you will find that the people who count are interested in their church and school life. They actively en- gage in the support of education atid they participate. in the worship of their churches. Moreover, they give financial support to both institutions.
