An experienced political observer can spot a candidate at least a year before election day. An unintentional error may be stupid but it is not as absurd as the snorting that often greets it. Every community has individuals who think they ought to occupy the driver’s seat in perpetuity. The people most difficult to get along with are often those obstinate folk who won't let us have our own way about it. If you want to express your opinion intelligently, tolerantly and briefly, the columns of The Citizen are open. But, above all, be brief. What right has p'edge Florida’s 14 Senator Pepper to electoral votes to icsident Roosevelt when the delegates » into the democratic convention un- instructed? Isn’t that presumption? vill , The Florida East Coast Railway’s traffic is said to be 84 per cent ahead of 1 year and passenger revenue is greatest ia the road’s history. In time the exten- sion to Key West would _have become profitable had younger and wiser men steered the progress of the transportation company. : Dade County, the county adjacent to Monroe, found the weather so cold that the schools were ordered closed. The sissies vith the temperature only 40 in Miami this morning. When a mere shaver, this ler remembers going to school reg- y with the thermometer reading 20 degrees below zero. After seven years of reckless spend- | ing, President Roosevelt has come to the ion, unfortunately too late, that the lution of the nation’s social and economic ilis does not lie in federal “handouts”, and igzests methods to cure these ills. If a doctor practices on his patient for seven years and then suggests a change in the method of the cure, it is time to change ~Aactors, E. B. Donnell, candidate for attorney general of Florida, suggests as a money saver for the candidates of this office and 2 time saver for the voters, that all candi- dates for attorney general travel over the same itinerary and speak from the same platform on the same occasion, In a spirit of generosity he offers to take “the boys” along in his Ford, The voters would ap- preciate this innovation, but it is doubtful if the other candidates are willing to do as lid the brothers Taylor in Tennessee while is exclusively entitled to use | issues and subjects of local or general | t but it wiJl not publish anonymous communi- | | and points of interest. | merce generally have cooperated with the | Key West Chamber of Commerce in the | information | Hotels, for the most part, have | | answered honestly when their guests asked | them about tourist facilities at Key West. | | So it is obvious that the great bulk of the Hl | influential residents of the mainland have | BOOSTS AND KNOCKS | Key West has a number of very good | friends among the intelligent and _ right- thinking businessmen of the Florida main- | land.

There are still a few misguided, mis- informed and misfit filling station at- tendants, roadside stand operators and other small change businessmen on _ the mainland who do all they can to discourage persist in lying about hotel services here. Reports of their puny ef- forts te discredit this community almost daily reach The Citizen, the Chamber of Commerce and other interests in the form of letters from tourists. In the main the | tourists who have come here in spite of the false alarms have: been pleasantly sur- to them. Those who seek information and who don’t know whether they are be- ing lied to are finding the facts in literature going out from Key West every day. Key West wishes most sincerely to thank all the folks on the mainland who have been and are being courteous and kind in their treatment of us. The Citizen | believes that those who take a contrary position will be punished by the loss of friendship of those to whom they have lied. | FIRST ALL-AMERICANS It is just 50 years since Walter Camp, called the father of American collegiate football, selected for Collier’s the first All- American team in 1889, an annual custom which he continued until his death in 1925, with the exception of the war year of 1917. | In recent years, | have been selected by various committees | Of football writers and experts. This the phenomenal spread of the sport, mak- ing it impossible for one man to check on the perfermances of all outstanding | players. For several years Camp’s_ selections | were confined to the once dominant big | three universities—Yale, Harvard and Princeton. His first team of 1889 was composed of the following: | Center, George of Princeton; ends, | Stagg of Yale and Cumnock of Harvard; | tackles, Cowan of Princeton and Gill -of | Yale; guards, Heffelfinger of Yale and | Cranston of Harvard; quarterback, Poe of Princeton; halfbacks, Lee of Harvard. and Channing of, Princeton; fullback, Ames of Princeton. | Of that mythical team, two Yale men } are considered to have been the toughest | players ever to wreck an opposing: eleven {on the gridiron—Stagg and Heffelfinger. Alonzo Stagg is still coaching at the Col- | lege of the Pacific at the age of 77. Hef- | felfinger actually continued to play foot- | ball until he. was 66.
