What halo of sacredness descends on | Miami that precludes us from. going ‘‘else- where’? Why should the Key West Cham- | ber of Commerce repudiate the accrediting | of that commendable suggestion to it? Was ‘it because the chamber did not say it? All ret it didn’t say it! But why the anxiety | irtrep | Key, West and Key Westers, so why repu- diate anything in the interests of Key West and Key Westers? Supposing The Citizen had remarked, “The Chamber of Commerce said today that Key West has the most equitable climate fn the United States’, and supposing the cham- ber’s remarks were not exactly in those words, would it rush into print to.deny them? | The Citizen, only recently, stepped on | | | corns when it fought against the illegality | | ficials, because those salaries are fixed by | law; The Citizen stepped on some more | corns when it denounced the giving away | of $200 by the county commissioners.
