The person who sees both sides of a public question and ignores one side com- pletely, is not interested in the truth.

This writer has always been a-bit sus- Picicus of people who constantly quote the Bible; with most uz them it is a sort of camouflage to hide their iniquities. Candidate Willkie announces he will eliminate all paid speakers in his cam- aign. There are so many eager political speuters they may offer to pay him to let them speak. S Last year, about this time, a majority of Congressmen were convinced there would be no war in Europe. This gives a general idea of what a majority in Con- gress knows about world conditions. promise witn principle. | d freely given, and | | ago in Berlin and through the magic STILL SLAMMING KEY WEST! During past tourist seasons many stories reached the ears of Key Westers to | the effect that municipalities were spread- ing all sorts of untrue stories about our city in apparent effert to prevent the flow of tourist trade to Key West. The were pretty much all the same—no water here, pocr food and all the rest. Our Chamber of Commerce was hard put to it to trace down many of these cen- ters of hostile information, but, as it was thought, the practice had been pretty well stamped out. Cooperation of intelligent officials of the Chamber of Commerce in Miami and other cities made that possible, at least as far as we knew here. The recent influx of over 400 mem- bers of Lions clubs from various parts of the nation, coming here to embark for the Havana International convention, proved, however, that there is considerable sharp- shocting and slamming still going on. It appears that the Miami Lions clubs established an information booth north of Miarai on the main high- way for the purpose of posting incoming Lions cn accommodations and any other | information desired. To the credit of Lions club members in that area, it can be said that no disparaging words concern- ing Key West were uttered by them. Such, however, cannot be said about mem- bers of the Miami Chamber of Commerce who were assigned to the booth. Many too many visiting Lions told members of the loca! club what was being said at this booth about our city. Same old stories again—terrible roads, poor water or none, same for food, etc. Visi- ters were quite puzzled about that sort of | information, especially when it was evi- | dent that the inquirers had to come to Key West as reservations were made on the | boat here and Miami reservations were ; jammed. The kickback from the unfair practice comes in the knowledge that each and every Lion that came to our city expressed | themselves as delighted with their stay here. Their spreading of the gospel about us will prove all the more beneficial when the stories of the unfair information are related. HOW HITLER CAUSED WAR Herr Hitler made a speech two weeks of radio the people of all the world could hear his voice as he uttered the harsh gut- | terals that feature the German language. Mr. Hitler’s statement might be im- portant if anybody could place any de- pendence whatever upon what he says. The tragedy of the past few years in Europe could not have occurred if Hitler’s word had been worth its weight in sand. Time ard again he outlined his views of what was necessary to secure peace for Europe and time and again he broke his | pledges. The writer has kept up with happen- ings in Europe for the past decade or more with the hope of understanding the issues involved. The first time that we became convinced that war was inevitable was | when we became convinced that Hitler's pledged word was worthless and not to be | trusted. Here was the head of a _ resurgent state, armed to the teeth and possessing great military strength. Around Germany were neighbors, uncertain and slowly be- coming alarmed at the growing menace of German might. As Hitler advanced his program he repeatedly broke past promises and when this became apparent it was only a question of time before war would be- gin. NO HOG-WASH FOR US So far as the editor of this newspaper is concerned it is always a pleasure to dis- cuss issues with men whose opinions are different from our own. It is a delight to meet any individual |” who is interested in truth and concerned over justice to all men, however far apart we may be in respect to the course that human beings should pursue. At no time is it our intention to waste | time discussing any issue with those in love with their own conceit, the chronic belly- achers and those ignorant of the virtues of intellectual honesty. We have nothing against individuals of his type. They have their place in the world, we suppose, and are entitled to the pleasure that may come to them in their wallowing but it is not incumbent upen us | to mingle with them in the hog-washing. stories * district CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SOCIETY, 327 Elizabeth Strect Sunday School, 9:30 a. m. ; Sunday morning service, 1%} o'clock. t + SOlit i PAE? o FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Exton, between Duval and Simonton ‘Streets Rev.

The other reference given , for our consideration. from Mz 7, is also a contrast. Jesus, im the closing part of the Sermon om the Mount. contrasts the acyons wise man and the actions af 2 foolish man. In starting out on 2 journey of any great length, the wise man first of all secures 2 map to guide him in order that he might reech his destination safely and with the least possible delay, caused from detours, bad roads and dan- gerous driving. So should the wise man or women begin the journey through life—with a guide book clese by to be used often to safeguard him through all the vissitudes and trials the journey. This guide book God's Word, which has been tried and found to be accurate In our first reference-we are warned that there are two roads we may travel—the right reed and the wrong.
