To see isn’t so difficult, but to forsee —that is wisdom, or a good guess. Evidently we have so many things to be thankful for that it will take two days of Thanksgiving. Key West has some imperfections but they cannot eliminate themselves; they ; must be eliminated. An exchange declares that contented citizens are a town’s best asset. But where will you find contented citizens? Prof. O’Bryant Speaks To Lions. Headline in The Citizen. It takes courage to do that, but presumably the Lions were safely in their cages. Vote right. That is done by choosing the right candidate for the right place, and not voting your prejudices and your | emotions. It goes against the grain but it | is the only sensible procedure. | It was always said that wars of the future would be utterly different from | those in the past, but a tremendous and stupendous war was in mind, not the “watchful waiting” kind now going on. A Key West wag who is always cook- ing up something informs this column that he knows positively that twelve candi- dates for the city council will not be elected, but he wouldn’t go so far.as to | name them. ; Turning over to. Panama...American ships to carry goods to Europe is a sub- terfuge. That's a sneaky, underhand way of helping England and France—it is not | the American way of always being open | and above board. | This writer may be old-fashioned, or just plain dumb, but he can’t see where it | pays the people of Key West to spend their money away from home to buy things that | they can buy right here—Key West Citi- | zen. Guess we're both dumb.—Sanford Herald. | Naturally this column cannot predict positively the election of any of the coun- | cilmanic candidates, though it would come | __hear hitting the nail on the head in a + -couple of cases; however, it can positively | : predict that a certain candidate for council | « will not be elected.

Key West needs men who will not make promises they cannot fulfill, who will give good service and. who will do something to help build the community. Therefore, it is evident the voters must vote for the men they know are qualified to manage the municipal serv- And vote they must tomorrow if they want those good men in public positions. As The Citizen has pointed out before, good men cannot be wished into office; afford to neglect this opportunity to elect men who will do something to make it worthy of bigger and better things. VOTE TOMORROW AND VOTE RIGHT! CONSIDER THE PUBLIC Through the press, by posters in rail- road stations, over the radio and on the floor of our legislatures we have been | more or less bombarded with propaganda for this or that form of transportation. One group asks for a square dea] and a_ fair | field. Another request is for regulation of transportation or for taxes or laws which | will place all forms of transportation on an equal basis. é One of the things which has ‘singularly missing from a great deal this propaganda has been the interest of been mands for special consideration by ‘trans- portation interests there have been few manded for the general public. Everyone is interested in transporta- tion. Every time you pay out a dollar for merchandise or material a considerable | percentage goes to pay the cost of trans- portation—a cost that is hidden in the | purchasing price. If new methods of | transportation come along which will per- mit transportation costs to be cut, it- will mean that prices will go down and the cost of living will be reduced. Certainly the public is entitled to this saving if it can be accomplished. An attempt should be made to meet transportation problems by having them adjusted to the needs of society rather than trying to have society legislated to | meet the needs of any individual form. of transportation. Competition is not par- ticularly weleome by some of us. ‘But, it is the only insurance of a square deal to, Let competition in the trans- portation field continue. The intelligent person sees the good and bad in everything; the prejudiced one “hood. The Chinese admit it. Years ago *sees only the good or bad in anything. ‘the writer heard Dr. Chew, then lecturing on, a Chatauqua circuit, state that Chinese children were taught to hate the Japanese, and that while it was not a Christian spirit, “it was human. | If we followed the example of the present Administration we would all be |imbued with thrift—spendthrift, to be i specific, {eaese By the same token, nothing | they must be voted in.
