PAGE e TWO COVEN PER ed Daily ger ALTMAN, 2 ALLEN From Th@ Corner Key Westers, in a quiet voting session yesterday, demonstrated that they were fairly well satisfied with their city govern- ment as it has stood for the past years. Mayor Wilard M. Albury was returned to office by a wide margin, and Police Cap- tain-Alberto Camero far outdistanced his opposition. In the city council race, with three of the incumbents withdrawing from the race, Will Freeman, John Carbonell, Glenwood Sweeting and Leonard Grillon— FLORIDA PRESS ASSOCIATION » ‘ all of the councilmen who sought re-elec- NATIONAL EDITORIAL ASSOCLATION * tien—were returned to their jobs. am 1941. Ww Police Justice W. P. Archer took an early lead, and, of course, many of the can- didates were unopposed. In view of the fact that the incumbents did meet with success, and in spite of the disappointingly light vote, it appears that the complaints “agin’ the governments” are not the voice of the greater part of the vot- ing electorate. Therefore, as The Citizen has said be- fore, it behcoves the remainder of the pop- ulation to step into line, forget the election battles, and pull fpr the men who will direct this city’s affairs for the next two years. In this period of Stress in international, as well as in local affairs,.one of the most frequent complaints against our two. party yetem of government has been the fact that the nation is able to utilize only half its political brains at a In other , the usual policy has been for the to toss a hearty damn at the winners, then seek their tents to sulk until the next time. We hope that doesn’t happen here this time. The next two years will be impo: years for Key West, and the only sane w to head into those years is with the ent population pulling together. it should be no other way. NG CO., INC.

DEMOCRATS The aristocrats of the world believe that human beings are in two classes, those deserving the best of life and those design2d to serve the needs of the aristocrats. The democrats of the world believe that, while men and women are widely divergent in talent and power, every man and woman deserves the best of life and that the end of human endeavor is to ar- range matters to arrive at that goal. For many centuries education was con- sidered the privilege of a few. Not so long ago common laborers were regarded as a degree above work animals, and the idea persists in some places today. The farmer for ages has been considered the source of food ior the more elect, which opinion like- wise enjoys favor in so-called enlightened secieties. Applied to world affairs we find that super-races adopt the aristocratic concept of human beings, according themselves the selected place and expecting all others to serve their needs. This isthe basic phil- osophy of Hitlerism, which has no regard for the rights of so-called lesser races and has no compunctions in applying force to “educate” the benighted into accepting the “new order.” The aristocratic ideal has little place in Christian thinking. It is entirely likely, therefore, that those who espouse it, in eco- nomie or political affairs, are apt to disdain the simple virtues of this and other great re- This is American ‘Education Week. you are not educated, get busy. { like the present.

If No time As Bt | The municipal election is over, so is the shouting, but the recriminations continue to reverberate; that, too, will soon die out. Then the criticisms of those chosen for the offices will start. The gains that labor has made in the last decade should certainly be protected, but the government should strike down on all labor leaders who for selfish reasons tamper with national defense.

On Monday last this column said that WHEN WILL THE WAR END? common sense is common reason for com- rion things and common ideas. A local leg2] luminary, after reading the item, stated that the thou cided with what he was taught while taking his law course hat “common sense is that sense without 1 all other sense is nonsense.” The consensus of most military ex- perts is that the present war will last a long time and that, the longer it lasts the more involved will be our participation. This may be the true picture of the situation, evidently based upon the belief that Hitler will succeed in knocking the Rus- sians out as an effective military opponent. What of it, if the Red army lasts, if the Soviet continues its unexpected resistance to the Nazis? Nobody knows. Our own amateur opinion is that the war can be shortened considerably by speeding ample supplies to the Soviet. If this is done effectively and the Red army maintains its present fighting power through the Winter, the Nazis will be in 2 bad way. In fact, if the Russians can take the of- fensive in the Spring or early Summer. of next year, and the British put on military pressure elsewhere, there is the chance that the Germans will be definitely on the way + out with 1942.
