Regardless of whether or not that new in- strument is declared legal,. the fact re- mains, as stated—that the controversy has aroused considerable interest in city af- | fairs and voters are giving serious thought | to the question of better city government. | It has been wisely stated that no mat- | ter what form of government is in force, a poorly equipped group of officers can do much harm in the enforcement of the pro- | visions on the books. Contrariwise—little or no form of government is needed by an intelligent group of governing officers to provide good government in any city. And so we say—“Wanted—Good Candidates”’. | The time has come when Key West must acknowledge that the city govern- ment has been poorly handled during the past few years.

The Citizen believes that the ma- jority of Key West voters are anxious to see the right sort of names on the ballot come Election Day. It feels sure that a public-spirited slate will receive an over- whelming vote of confidence. It behooves all citizens then to see to it that the candi- injustice; denounce vice and praise virtue. commend good done by individual or organ- ization; tolerant of others’ rights, views and Subscribe opinions; print only news that will elevate and not contaminate the reader; never com- promise with principle.

Life’s Little Jokes: People whose only attribute is the possession of a little more money than their neighbors. In another world war its objective | will not be to make the world specifically “Safe for democracy” but safe for the | world itself. Millions of boys and girls are now be- gining another year of trying to make teacher believe they have learned enough to be advanced to a higher grade. Bund Leader Fritz Kuhn told his audience in Pennsylvania recently that “Hitler and Germany can lick the world.” That's what the Kaiser and Germany thought in 1914, and today he is in exile (where Hitler will be when the thing’s ever)-and Germany is in a bad way, with | a werse ending in sight. | -The Duke of Windsor has purchased | a macadamia-nut plantation in Hawaii. | Perhaps that is a natural and eventual oc- | cupation for a man who gave up a throne | for “a rag, a bone and a hank of hair.”’ But in the light of coming events in the land | over which he once reigned, perhaps he is | not Such a nut after all.

The issue is clear cut. businessmen are wanted to lend their ex- ! perience and good judgment during the next two years of economic adjustment in Key West. A good council and adminis- tration will be the demand of the elec- torate—but that much-to-be-desired ac- complishment cannot come about if the ballot fails to list the right sort of candi- dates. BIBLICAL QUOTATIONS (From the Maritime Baptist, Kentville, Nova Scotia, Canada) A New York’ City pastor, having been previously impressed by the frequency, ac- curacy, and apt application of the Biblical quotation of the New York Times edi- torials, read every editorial appearing during one calendar year and discovered the following facts: Four hundred and_ sixty-six Biblical verses, phrases, and allusicns appeared in spread over two. hundred and sixty-two days.
