If the authorities want to dispose of an undesir- able individual, they order him to run for Rif life and then shoot him in the back, re- at ends the case.;; Within a week Miami police shot two negroes when they made a break for liberty; they hadn’t been tried for any crime, they were merely sus- The cops who did the shooting either were of the jittery sort in which case they should not be trusted with guns or they swere poor shots in failing to halt a running suspect at fifty paces without killing him, which negates the sharp-shooting ability pboastingly avowed by the Miami police.

Hundreds of the government’s civilian employes and their families will celebrate | the day tomorrow, as will personnel of the army, navy end coast guard. Theirs is the | day decreed by President Roosevelt. The remainder of the city theoretically | will follow Gov. Spessard L. Holland in the | Nov. 27 holiday, butt is likely that much of the population will join the gov- | ernment workers and their families, while | uation by celebrating both. j From g Strictly selfish and material | : to be thankful for to cover at | holidays. Por, climbing out of a depression that ; hit this city as hard or harder than it landed on any other, Key West this year has many benefits to count—and many more to look | forward to in the not far distant future. it has been suggested by the Key West | Ministerial Alliance that the people of the city take this occasion to show a welcome to the men of the nation’s armed forces here | by inviting as many of them as_ possible | least two} to private homes for the annual cele- bration. ; We think the idea isa good one,«and | one that could be expanded upon. } In the case of the actual Thanksgiving, } it is pessible that many of the men will pre- fer to take part in their own celebration, but | there certainly is no reason why they could | not be invited to take part in the home spirit of the holiday season by visiting private families on any day during the year. * Key West, too, has sons in the armed | services of the United States. Consider the treatment we hope they get in this holiday season as you think of the time in relation to the men serving here. A PREACHER GOES TO JAIL A minister of the gospel has been sentenced to serve eighteen months in a Federal prison by a court in New Jersey after his conviction for refusing to fill out a | draft questionnaire. Before sentencing the preacher the i Court gave him nearly a month in which to | | change his mind and fill out the draft paper | | but the man persisted in his refusal, de- | fending himself by proclaiming his personal loyalty to Christ, his Christian concern for j ; mankind and his devotion to democracy. | It should be understood that the minis- ter was not convicted because he would not Wage war, as a matter of conscience, but | because he refused to fill out a question- naire, permitting him to make any claim for exemption that he might have. | The sentence is entirely proper and we are at a loss to understand the brother’s de- votion to democracy and ‘in complete: dis- | agreement with him as to his interpretation of loyalty to Christ and the obligations of a Christian. Boiled down, the reverend gentleman set himself above the law of the land, which enables him to preach a free gospel] and gives him every advantage that civilization accords a minister of recognized faiths. He | assumes that he can accept the benefits and disregard the obligations of society, act- | ually imposed through the machinery of | government. IT’S YOUR RED CROSS The annual Roll Call of the Red Cross | s Americans an opportunity to become | ociated with an organization that serves human beings in their direst need. Whether in war, or in peace, the stricken are succored. It is an amazing undertaking, made possible because aver- ge Americans, like those of us in Key West, | contribute relatively small sums to keep the | work going. Naturally, at this time the war work of the Red Cross receives much attention. Thousands of volunteer workers, all’ over the United States, are busy preparing gar- j ments and bandages, to be used by those | afflicted by the grim spectre of war. Others serve as the ministering hands to carry aid to suffering individuals. It is not permitted for us all to do the actual work of the Red Cross, whether in war or in peace, but it is our privilege to take part in the labor of mercy by provid- ing our share of the money that is necessary | in the continuance of this great service to | : mankind. i American | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ASIATIC FLEET SAILORS IN U.
