AN IDEA FOR EDUCATORS When the Army and Navy took over hundreds of colleges throughout the coun- try it was to be expected that the methods adopted would not be satisfactory to all of the educational “experts” in the nation. Some criticism has been directed to the type of training programs instituted, but Dr. Doods, president of Princeton Univer- sity, says that they are “educationally as \well as militarily thoroughly sound.” He points out that the armed services are racing against time to train the minds and bodies of young men for highly tech- nical warfare, He suggests that the “rigor- cus nature and ambitious objectives” of | the courses might “blaze some new trails in college instruction after the war.” The Princeton leader is getting close | to the mark when he expresses the belief that the cadet system, requiring “punctual- ity, self-discipline and sustained application to study” may prove to be a real tonic to students and faculties. He observes that in recent years “the atmosphere of most€am- puses has become most informal and re- laxed, perhaps, too much so.” There is no such thing as the moderate cigarette smoker. Borrowing money today is much easier than paying cash, but now _§is the time, if \there ever was a time, when people should } live on a cash basis. \ WHY UNITED NATIONS WILL WIN ug The United States will reach its produc- | tion goal of 90,000 airplanes in’ 1948, says Lieut. Gen. William S. Knudsen, Director of Production for the Army. Germany is producing less, he adds, and we are producing more than a year ago. Since the side with the ‘most airplanes,” guns and other equipment wins,” the Gen- eral’s idea is that the United Nations will “beat the Axis.” If you have lost all your ration points | you cannot obey thé injunction to feed a} cold, though you certainly can starve a! fever.

CLANNISH LAWYERS What type of judge is preferable in a municipal court, one who is grounded in the | law or one who has a broad understanding of human nature? | Minor cases are tried in such a court— cases that have to do with the weak and the erring, who have not sufficient will power left to resist doing wrong that injures no- body except themselves. _— One does not have to be a Profound philosopher to know that little knowledge of the law and much human understanding are the qualities that best fit a municipal | judge, And yet, over in Sanford the bar asso- ciation has petitioned the city commission- ers to permit only a lawyer to “fill” the bench in the municipal court. Municipal Judge Frank L. Miller, a layman, had heard more than 10,000 cases, and only one of } his decisions had been reversed on appeal, but he resigned from the bench because the | lawyers in Sanford felt that only one of their “clan’’ should occupy that unexalted position. * It has been said that doctors are clan- nish, but they are not one-tenth as clannish as lawyers are. Just mention the adminis- i tration of justice, and lawyers step forth to declare that it can not be administered properly by anybody except a man with a. legal background. And yet some of the most arbitrary | judges who have ever occupied a municipal | bench have been lawyers. They made poor judges because they had neither patience nor kindness for human wrecks who were , nobody’s enemies but their own. W. P. Aircher is Key West’s municipal | judge, and, though he may be severe in some cases, he has demonstrated on many occasions that he has human understand- ing; he has shown that a warning some- | times is more effective than a jail sentence, | and he knows that a heart-to-heart talk may do more to help a “drunk” than locking him | up for 10 days or so would do, because, while sweating and fuming in a cell, a “drunk” is so maddened he proceeds to go cn another spree as soon as he gets out of jail. Let us step from the city to the county. In all the history of Monroe county, who has made a better county judge than the late Hugh Gunn made, and he was not a law- yer. Many, many times, he settled cases | “out of court’ that brought together con- tending parties who were at one another’s throats. | It reflects anything but credit on those | Sanford lawyers who called on the city commissioners to have Judge Miller resign. Their action shows again that lawyers are a clannish lot. Everybody wants price ceilings on what | they buy and no limit on what they sell. | SEE | Few Key West boys would want a | more thrilling character than J. Edgar Hoove~, who manages to put so much story- | book action into crime detection. j ce | KANSAS HINTS | The press tries to give both sides of a controversial subject if the paper is publish- ed for the people ard not just for the sake of politics. The rights and wrongs of the la- bor situation. have been covered by various | organs for somé time and in the process each of us has formed certain opinions on the subject. A recent enactment in Kansas has struck a warning note to labor that might well be sion has disrupted defense work and caused bitterness among various groups. Kansas passes a labor law that requires locals to ob- tain licenses to operate, unions must file annual financial reports with the state sec- retary which includes a detailed list of aries, make reports on dues and assessments collected from members. The labor unions in that state will not take this without car- rying it toa court, probably, but even so, it strikes a warning note. One of these days the war will end and the people of Key West will have an oppor- tunity to practice the cooperative spirit that is now being displayed in the war emerg- ency. GOING TO THE DOGS The country is going to the dogs fast- er than most moralists suspect. The Com- merce Department reveals that the produc- tion of snuff is increasing! Last year 21,160,962 pounds of the stuff was manufactured. . This is nearly a third of a pound per person. THE KEY WEST CITIZEN A PRAYER IN TIME OF WAR Fe Almighty God!
