It is easy to be wise if you only as- sociate with fools. Americans lead the world in many things, including bunk. Peace will be visible in the world when standards of living are more nearly equal, a Ananias made his reputation before they invented golf and before fishing be- came a sport. The whole world having gone topsy- turvy, it is natural that a deficit rather * than a profit is now the rule. Publie opinion has turned against the Administration on business harassment. It is not always the worm that turns. Laugh at the business man, who. de- plores the graft in government, but is afraid to cast an open ballot because it might hurt his business. Cengress kills the excess profits tax. Another Roosevelt experiment thrown out ofthe window. There are other experi- ments headed for the same exit. Fearing possible international com- Plications, Sydney Wooderson, the run- yee, has decided not to protest Fenske’s Wi over him in the mile race recently. == Turn about is fair play. The railroads até now suing motorists for damages in a collision, the ‘charge being that motorists do not keep their cars under control and pay no attention to the locomotive whistle. Attorney General Murphy disclosed that FBI would investigate 1,000 espionage cases before the end of the year. That is one force to be reckoned with, another is the subversive.-propaganda of Hitlerites and Communistic “fellow travelers,” Eh; < eeebieiptapea reek A reporter in Washington attempted to “smoke out” President Roosevelt on the quéstion of a third term, and was told to go stand in a corner. Once before when the question was put to Roosevelt he told the reporter to put on a dunce cap and go stand in the corner. Why this foolish ques- tion? Roosevelt will run for a third term if he can get the ‘nomination; that is definite. : 4 ® with The Citizen and eity officials zegard- ing the obnoxious activities of the strutting and: amorous young men who | | | infest the | beaches off‘the foot of Duval Street and | above White Street. It is reported that Key West women and girls and the wives | and daughters of visitors have been driven | from the ocean shore by the disgusting and | suggestive approaches. and advances of these beach Romeos. This is a sad commentary against a city that has little enough to offer our resi- | dents and our visitors in the way of public beach facilities. What little sand is avail- able at the ocean’s edge is apparently monopolized by a type of humans who can | be rated somewhat lower than a snake's | abdomen. : Complaints regarding the lack of beaches and the condition of those that are available are bad enough. It is adding | insult to injury to listen to. complaints against the human debris that drive girls | and women away from the water’s edge. Key West is unable financially at this time to do anything about municipal bathing facilities. But surely something can be done to protect our wo- | men and our daughters from the depreda- tions of a well larded gang of beach rats. ; Some of them are well known.

Key West has a number of policemen on the payroll. It ought to be a fairly simple matter for the police department to assign at east one officer to patrol the beaches. Any nearby resident, will be able to indicate the men guilty of these dirty tactics. It should be a simple matter to file vagraney charges against these men and make our beaches safe for women- folks. ete: tion. RESPECT THE FLAG (Florida Advocate, Wauchula) When you see the Stars and Stripes dis- played, son, stand up and take off your hat. Somebody may titter. It is in the blood of some to deride all expression of noble sentiment, You may blaspheme in the street and stagger drunken in public places, and the bystanders will not pay much attention to you; but if you should get down on your knees and pray to Almighty God or. if you should stand bareheaded while a company of old soldiers marches by with flags to the breeze, some people will think you are showing off, But don’t you mind!’ When Old Glory comes along, salute, and let them think what they please! When you hear the band play “The Star- Spangled Banner” while you are in a restaurant or hotel dining room, get up even if you rise alone; stand there and don’t be ashamed of it, either! For of all the signs and symbols since the world began there is none other so full of mean- | ing as the flag of this country. That piece of red, white and blue bunting means five thousand years of struggle upward. It is the full-grown flower of ages of fighting for liberty. It is the century plant of human hope in bloom. Your flag stands for humanity, for an equal opportunity to all the sons of men. Of course we haven't arrived yet at that goal; there are many injustices yet among us, many senseless ‘ and cruel customs of the past still clinging to us, but the only hope of righting the wrongs of men lies in the feeling produced in our bosoms by the sight of that flag. Other flags mean a glorious past, this flag a glorious future. It is not so much the flag of our fathers as it is the flag of our children, and of all children’s children yet unborn. It is the flag of tomorrrow. It is the signal of the “Good Time Coming.” It is not the flag of your king—it is thé flag of yourself and of all neighbors.* Don’t be ashamed when your throat chokes and the tears come, as you see it flying from the _ masts of our ships on all the seas or floating from 1 every flagstaff of the Republic. You will never have a worthier emotion. Reverence it as you would reverence the signature of the Deity. Listen, son! The band is playing the national anthem—“The Star-Spangled Banner!” They have let loose Old ‘Glory yonder, Stand up—and This tribute to the flag is offered to. the understand that our flag is the symbol of liberty, and learn to love it—Alvin M. Owsley.
