All this can easily be averted by our | merchants if they will consult their own interests and will take the trouble to realize what the saving of a cent or two may cost them. . The coming of the highway had many more effects than anyone anticipated. Having opened a channel for the flow of trade, we were apparently taken by sur- prise when we observed that the tide could ebb as well as flow. Pouring into Key West came the great trucks of the provision dealers from l; in Key West, pays his full share of taxes (any maybe. a little more) in Key West; ‘and whose presence here is the reason for this port being selected as the home port of | the “Warbler” which also maintains sizeable payroll and brings in new money ‘to Key West. And, to save a penny here, and a penny there, the bulk of the Key West business is going to firms from another | city; firms who pay no taxes and, employ no Key West people. The Armour plant has grown weary of being used as a con- venience; a standby when five pounds of ‘ cheese are needed in a hurry, but in the discard when a real order was to be handed ‘out. It should not take a great deal of re- flection to lead one to the conclusion that it is worth a fraction of a cent on the pound |" ‘to maintain a well-stocked packing plant in Key West; nor, need one reflect very long to realize that if Armour’s -goes, it will not be long before the price exacted for provisions will be dictated by outside houses, no longer kept in check by a local house, and that it will be “take it or leave it”? with no option on the part of the Key West dealer. And where will you get your small accommodation ‘order in @ : hurry then? : Nor, should it be hard to understand ‘that the local plant can not operate as cheaply in Key West as can the ones on the mainland that have a back country for the distribution of a iarger volume. No discriminatory tax can be levied on these out-of-town dealers for whom we have provided ready access to Key West. That is a settled fact; settled in the courts. The whole situation is in the hands of Key West merchants, If they haye civic | spirit enough to say to the out-of-town solicitor, “I live in and on Key West and my business;will go to the firm that shares with me the problem of getting along. in Key West,” and if they haye endugh of f spirit of sef-preservation to stick'to that and to let the Armours know that such is their purpose, Key West will not be bled any fyrther in that direction, It is time that a militant spirit was aroused that would plainly say, “Key West for those who are for Key West.” Of, if we prefer, we can let our bones be picked clean, one at a time.

Ahijah, the prophet, informed Jerobeam that ther were condi- tions to be fulfilled by Jeroboam he would build a “sure house”. conditions were that he should hearken unto all that God |-;eommanded and would walk in the ways of God and .do that which was right in the sight of God. -How similar were these conditions to those which were given unto Solomon at the begin- ning of his reign. Solomon failed jto keep the commandments of God and his reign over the ten tribes a success. While .we do not go into \a study of Jeroboam’s reign over the Northern tribes, we do know that Jeroboam failed to take ad- vantage of the mistakes made by his predecessor and he, fliled with a loye for God, led his péo- ‘ple away from God and deepen- ed the breach:between the two | Kingdoms, the kingdom of Israel and of Judah, a breach which | was never again to be healed. |. Qf Jeroboam, George Rawlin- gon said: “Jeroboam is not con- demned for his ambition, for his self-seeking, or for his rebellion against the House of David, but |the days of Solomon’s reign were | emphatically for his religious in- novations. To himself no doubt they seemed masterpieces of worldly poliey. They suited the temper. of his people; they effec- tually secured the maintenance of his kingdom in a state of separation from that of Judah; they remained in full vigor to the last days of the monarchy, But they had in them a root of bitter- ness, which proved fatal to the state. They were of- human de- vice; ‘they had no divine sanc- tion; and they rested on falsity”. | the Dozorniy 9,850 nautical miles |from. New York to Vladivostok land has‘it lashed on its deck.
