There are pro-Laborites so prejudiced that they reject even Capital ideas. ” There is “eat” in “steatopygia,” and that probably causes the phenomenon. Will Germany once more violate the neutrality of Belgium? It is unthinkable it will. Right is right and left is left and never the twain have met until Hitler and Stalin formed their pact and now the whole thing’s a mess. ~~ A slap on the back and a bouquet of | flowers brought Roosevelt and Glass to- gether again. Men with one foot in the graVe are too weak to hold hatreds, and ‘perhaps ’tis better so. The Key West Citizen reflects the view of the average American at the moment, “We do not believe the United } States will get into any European war un- ~-lees-and until it appears certain that Great Britain and France will be defeated.” In other words if the Anglo-French alliance tantake care of the situation alone, why should we help them? Of course there’s no denying that we'd be in an awful fix if - they should lose——Sanford Herald. We doubt that. . The Reds won the Na- - tional League pennant, the first in 20 years, and that recalls the blackest chap- ter in baseball history—the 1919 world’s series when the Chicago White Socks, un- - doubtedly the greater team, sold out to a erocked gambling clique. Eddie Collins, + who was captain of the Sox, is quoted as having said: “There were times when Cincinnati > they tried to lose and couldn’t; they were | » 80 good.”” However, they could lose when the temptation was sufficiently attractive, - as it was during the world series of 1919. » The writer saw the part of. 'this series which was played in Chicago, and thought - the Sox played their heads off to win when + as a fact they played their heads off to lose. Figuratively speaking their heads were chopped off when later the dis- > closures were proved. The convicted play- ers were ‘ousted and never played in or- *_ganized baseball again, $10.00 | RAZE THE FIRE TRAPS One function of a municipal govern. | ment is the protection of the public. One of the greatest threats against the public | ' safety is fire. One of our most important | municipal departments, therefore, is the | fire department. The department is ing fires when they develop, but to be on watch to guard the public against the pos- sibility of fires. city is old, abandoned and_ tinder-wood buildings. There are a number of them in “Key West. Any experienced fireman ‘knows they are fire traps of a high order. Fire Chief Harry Baker long has recog- ward with the recommendation that sev- eral of the worst be ordered razed. with the fire chief. Council has directed | the city attorney in co-operation with the mayor’s office to start procedure effecting the removal of four buildings from fire hazard classification. Since the wisdom of this decision cannot be questioned by other property owners who keep their buildings in good repair, nothing should interfere with the | swift consummation of the order. A fire | trap is a fire trap and no one_ property | owner should be permitted to maintain one traps not only are a menace, but seriously affect the appearance of the city. They are delapidated and disreputable appear- |ing structures. Appearances are im- | portant. The Citizen congratulates followed up until every similar fire trap is dition. 300,000 PARCELS OF LAND State supreme court has climaxed the 12 year story of collapse and recovery of 1939 legislative fumbling. Court decides that the state of Florida | Owns a merchantable title to some 300,000 parcels of land that failed to clean up de- linquent taxes under the famous Murphy law. This law, be it remembered, allowed property owners to buy at “auction” de- linquent taxes for a cent or two on the dol- lar. abandoned their property or trusted to | the decade-old habit of the legislature to pamper delinquents. But violent differ- | sulted in a last day bill extending for two years the reversion date which was set for line date-stood. Suits immediately popped to halt the revision. An urgent one from Tampa where authorities want to use the law to ‘get quick title to 3,800 acres for the army air base, resulted in the court’s decision. The court order is sweeping, and, in fact, | discards many previous rulings on tax and into seores of cities and special districts by decreeing that the reversion to the Inter- nal Improvement Board (charged with holding title to most state lands) wipes out all other taxes, liens, and claims by lesser political units. Theoretically, this order, if it stands, will crack up a score or more | of shakey sliding scale refunds. STRENGTHENING PEARL HARBOR | News from the West coast indicates | | of the United States navy will be detached | from the main fleet and stationed at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. any idea that the British and’French fleets constitute a menace to the United States. It is merely the wise precaution of recog- nizing that Japan might try to take ad- vantage of the situation in Europe to at- | tempt something in the Pacific. This strengthening of our naval forces in Hawaii seems reasonable and will prob- ably meet with the approval of all Amer- | icans except those who believe that we can stay out of war by passing resolutions and chanting, “We want peace!” If the treaty of Versailles brought Europe to its present condition we would like to know where the next treaty is go- ing to lead the continent, THE KEY WEST CITIZEN | we Speen |HLLY announces _ Nee 00 treet “Methibdist (Uptown) : ‘Churth dninotintes the following Eaton between Duval-and 827 Elizabeth Btreet - f !
