Large sections of the electorate | claimed to have lost. patience with, and | faith in, the council which the people of Key | West had elected. j If that is true, and if the council has } failed in some places where it should have succeeded, it also is true that in a sense the general public has failed along with its | elected servants. For councilmen, remem- ,| ber, are but the representatives of.the peo | ple, and if the people are tnited in” their, { purpose, and make that \ptirpose**known, | then the councilmen, too, will be united. } Bet voters too often forget'that. They | seem to think they are dleéting miracle’ | men, and the result usually is disillusion- | | ment. They feel that a councilman, once | “hired,” should run the city smoothly, while they, the voters, go about other busi- | ness and forget it. | . Consider this, as you go to the polls | Tuesday: } | There are 25 men in this race for coun- cil. It is possible, and indeed probable, that the seven men who finally take seats | on the council will not have had the pre- | electi6n support-of one half the people. { If the supporters of the losers; there- | fore, decline to give their support to the men who go in, the council of 1942 and 1943 | will be representing only a part of the elec- |-torate, and will be struggling against the ill will of the greater part. So back your choice and pick the best man you can, but resolve to give your whole- | hearted support to the men who finally | / are elected, regardless of who they are. | | And in that way, Key West will have | a better city government. | THIS TELL-TALE RADIO i { ) | | j We will all be living in the proverbial ‘glass house,” if the scientists keep on dis- covering new means of checking us up. With dictographs and truth serums and a | new device said to be capable of making | | « | | moving pictures of what goes on in a room, | without the knowledge of its occupants, | they are getting things down pretty fine. Besides these schemes for the invasion of privacy, of which evildoers might be warned, Fred Taylor of Kansas City would i probably caution them to keep off the air— | for the radio proved to be his undoing. | Some months after deserting a wife in | Illinois, Fred married a young society wom- | an in the Missouri city, the wedding being | | a swell affair, with the ceremony performed by a bishop. To make the occasion strictly | up-to-date, the proceedings were broadcast | | over the church radio. | Wife No. 1 happened to be listening in | at her Illinois home, and as Fred had neg- | lected the minor detail of getting a divorce | or changing his name, his duplicity was ex- | | posed. The deserted wife journeyed west- ward. When the judge asked the two Mrs. | Taylors to suggest a suitable punishment for their joint spouse, they agreed that five | | years would be about right, but his honor | thought that two years in Jefferson City would satisfy the demands of the blind goddess, and so decreed. There Fred will have ample oppor- tunity to reflect on the wonders of science, particularly the radio.
