What will be our reward when the axe is finally ground, | considering her attitude in the present ex- tremity? Commenting on the remarks of A. A.

LET’S ALL REMEMBER The compan promise of Ametican politics—as any oyer the age of eight could be expected to tell you—has long since become a joke. You promise this and that, win your election and everyone agrees its pretty funny that anyone could win on such a swell | collection of stories. After all, if the other man had won he probably wouldn't have carried, out his promises, ate 80 a all ‘good clean fun. F | eae “The; problem is @ tile tougher now than it’onée Was, becalise you can’t ver. well oppose the Florida ship canal in squth Florida and favor it in north Florida if the” radio is carrying your story to both ences. Our boys manage to get by, however, and the promises they forget outnumber the ones they remember by a good comfortable margin, Life is like that. Sometimes, of course, circumstances interfere and there isn’t much to be done ‘about it. The man who can’t change his mind generally is recognized not to have much mind t® work with, and we wouldn’t want to doom our politicos to a life of trying | to live up to some outmoded idea they had ‘whe they started running: for office as | causés. the memories than the stalwart worthies they yoters have“ even elect. Occasionally some few of the voters have their oxes gored and they remember loudly, but the great majority of them for- they elected him—and, as we said, it doesn’t make much difference because they sup- pose the other candidate was fooling, too. It would be quite a shock’to some of the boys if a whole electorate—say Monroe’ | coiinty—remembered a promise about a | thing like, for instance, Overseas Highway. | Maybe we'll try it. | EDITORIAL SOLILOQUY The editor of The Citizen is an ordi- | nary person, whose business requires him to attempt to keep up with what is happen- ing in Key West and the world at large. There is no secret system by which any editor acquires the gift of prophecy and! whatever opinions are yoiced upon this page represent the considered reflection of an individual who has time to take ad- | vantage of the many sources of information that are available in this era of the printed | word. | It is not always possible for any editor | and his readers to agree exactly upon mat- ters discussed. Sensible readers should not expect to agree with the reflections of any one person, Those who are more interested | in their own mistakes than they are in the truth, are the only people to dislike a dis- cussion that does not coincide with their | own impressions, This article is not written because any- body has expressed disagreement with our In fact, we are extremely grate- ful for many expressions from readers who | are nice enough to say that they enjoy our editorials and agree with them. The point ‘we are-making, and to these people as well as others, is that the day might come when ba 3 not agree with what we write but, n-thaicday, we will be doing just what we are doing now, writing as~ intelligently as possible and as honestly as possible. EARN WHAT YOU WANT Young people of Key West might find the present a good occasion to understand that the majority of those wha have any- | thing in 4 world that worships money work- | ed for what they acquired. Too often, the youthful mind is im- | pressed with the easy accumulati ion of a fortune by some exceptional figure that looms in the public consciousness, little | realizing that such a caréer is the great ex- ception.among.a-mass af hard workers who got to the top by sheer diligence and per- sistencesrathen than through.some.streak of Jack oF BRRBWAHY. 0 op ;| Meraapdmore, there is | world asconviction that individu not earn what they have are not ‘entitled to their possessions: The thought is not so | ‘bad.
