Never sign a receipt until you know what it contains; the same applies to legal cocuments, regardless of where they cone from. There is always room for progress 2nd improvement everywhere. Key West, too, needs many things, chief of which is undoubtedly an ample water supply. Next to that, particuarly because we are now catering to the tourist trade, is a public ach which is a requirement essential to the development of the city. Advice from a centenarian ought to Se wholesome. Dr. S. J. von Hirsch, of Ozklend, Calif., who is 103, gives this | recipe for longevity: ‘Plenty of walking; eold bath every day; a good nip of liquor now and then, and kiss the girls whenever $ou heve a chance.” Most folks will agree with the venerable doctor with the pos- a sible exception of the walking and the cold | daily bath. Governor Cone who has announced for the United States senatorship with the eesnrance that “we don’t need.no more taxes” such may reach that pinnacle ‘on ungrammatical statements. just Like atching the votes of the hoi polloi by the affirmation of being born in a log cabin. | Former Governor Cats once told this |} writer that a similar technique was soup | for “my 40,000 Crackers.” Now the National Bosrd comes to the fore and _ arbitrarily declares that the freedom of speech is a | ed and not an absolute right,” ac- | g to its assumed authority and inter- | r n. And who steered the hoard in} Making such a declaration? A stripling of | a lawyer named Bernard W. Freund, 27 Years of age, and a nephew of Benjamin | ¥V: Cohen, New Deal adviser and janizary | of the White House. He has been’ em-! ployed by the board at $2,600 a year, al- | though a regional director expressed | doubt that he was worth,much more than 930 a month. If freedom of speech | qualified to the extent that governmental avencies have the right to put a stop signal | *ta™st our utterances if they happen to Gsag:ece with their interpretation, then freedom of the press and speech is ready for a flight out of the window. Aggres-| sions against free speech must be halted | wherever and whenever and in whatever form they appear with the constgni: thought in mind that eternal vigilance i: still the price of liberty. is | | sibility that | might object. | A study of the beach developments | at Miami Beach and at other Florida re- | | sorts reveals that the beaches did not re- | | will hold the sand in place once it is of | Florida and the nation. | brought in.

There should be no private or public the Monroe County Commission. The Citi- zen believes that next to a water supply from the mainland an ample public beach be provided. TELLING THE PUBLIC In recent years ars the gi great business en- terprises of the nation have more and more adopted the policy of telling the public in- teresting facts concerning the problems which confront their respective industries, and the means adopted to solve them, not only in their own interest, but in the in- terest of the public as well. This trend toward taking’ the public | into their confidence and frankly talking | things over with their patrons; has been particularly noticeable in the case of the railroads, which have told.’their story, | principally in paid newspaper advertising, with a view to friendly cooperation with the communities they serve. An interesting case in point is that | has continuously carried its Labor Relations | good will to its vast territory through ad- vertisements at least once each month in nearly 500 deily and weekly newspapers published in cities and towns | located on its far-flung lines. In a recent statement, President J. L. Beven, of the I. C., expressed satisfaction | with the friendly response to this policy, which will be continued. This, he says, indicates “our amply demonstrated belief in the good will to be gained through local newspaper advertising.” URGES SEX INSTRUCTION Making a plea fora “sgner” treat- | ment of sex education in the public schools of the nation, Mr. Ellsworth B.
