Whether a Blitzkrieg or a long drawn out war, General Sherman’s laconic ap- plieation to any war still holds good. Parents who make life pleasant for their children may one day have children who will make life pleasant for them. It has always been Stalin’s technique to play up to a man and_ then liquidate him.

He’s fooling himself, What happens to Germany, if Great Britain and France win the war, will close- ly resemble what happened to Russia when she made peace with Germany dur- ing the last struggle. The American Legion has declared itself against involvement in the European war. Its members know the costs of war and the futility of mixing in other nations’ family quarres.

The Key West municipa] election | are out drumming up votes to support | their candidacies for mayor, council and | other public offices. Voters are being be- seiged from all directions. They are caught between two fires. Honest men j are being sabotaged, unworthy individuals are being praised. Lies are being spread, false or misleading information is gaining circulation, However, the average voter paign battlewise. He is like the soldier who has been shot at and missed. He is a ; veteran and knows his way around the muddy battlefield. He knows when to} take cover, when to lift his head above the | ! ground level, when to stand up and step | boldly into the open. In short, he knows | when he is being shot at. The voters of Key West know they are under fire. Thus it happens that the voters of Key West are beginning to size up the various ‘candidates shooting at them. They are looking through the smokescreen of lies { and falsities and picking out the vulner- able spots in the cloaks of righteousness temporarily donned by the candidates. The voters are getting ready to fire their votes. There are a number of honest and {| qualified men in the field for public | efficé in Key West. Their honesty and ability are certain to be recognized by the average voter despite the barrage of villi- | | fication thrown in front of them by their fenemies. The honest man, the capable man has nothing to fear from the voter | | with the intelligence to investigate before he votes. The people of Key West are going to support the candidates they know are qualified by background and experience to solve this community’s pressing prob- lems. In general, the mere fact that a or needs the modest pay that goes with election to public office, will not cut a great deal of ice with the average voter. They want men with ability, courage and force at city hall. They want to im+ prove municipal operations. They want more service for their tax dollar. They want officials who will lead the city out | of the financial wilderness. And they will vote for such men November 14. May the | best men win!

In the |Social sphere, Christianity has ad- vanced the status of wives and women, it has insisted on the edu- cation of girls and has fostered the care of the sick, the insane and has at- tacked various evils which miti- gated against the happiness of ;mankind. From the. intellectual standpoint, Christianity has gone hand in hand with schools and education in waging a war against ignorance, prejudice and super- stition. Morally. Christianity has been a force for good, has warred against intemperance, gambling, dishonesty and vice wherever found and has sought to instill the doctrine of love and service in the hearts of mankind. In the political field, Christianity has in- troduced high ideals of responsi- bility and opportunity, and is gradually reforming the interna- tional mind to realize its obliga- tion to the future. In spiritual af- fairs, Christianity has preached and taught the highest truth, given men and women. their greatest inspiration and empha- sized constantly righteousness, purity and elevated moral vision”. The Christian, realizing and accepting the sanctity of his body, as the dwelling place of God, should hesitate to defile that tem- ple with alcohol.
