To give each side to a story,.so that the reader may form his own conclusion, always has been the aim of The Citizen, and yet that very fairness has resulted, time and again, in accusations that The Citizen has favored one side at the expense of the other. A few days ago The Citizen told both sides of a story, and the person concerned in side No. 1 declared we had been unfair to him and favored side No. 2, and then’ii’ stepped side No. 2 and asserted hotly that The Citizen favored No, Yand was agaife No. 2. a How does that come son is not far to seek. A good many of us think there is only one side to any question, and that side is ours. In the blind attitude we assume, we give no thought to the pos- sibility or probability that the other fellow may be right, or, if not altogether right, has at least some ground for his contention. A question is not a question unless there are two sides to it; otherwise it is a truism accepted by everybody. But just as soon as it assumes the proportion of a question, dif- ferent views, some of them right and some of them wrong, are sure to be entertained re- garding it. He is a rare man who concedes that That sort of man is a master. jn, angyment, and the man who sees nothing:buthis own side convinces nobody except himself.+ Lincoln, from earliest *life,throughout the bitterest turmoil this country has ever experienced, maintained a give-and-take at- aq to pass? melt THE KEY WEST ¢CiTIZ£N 1 ee KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY | | FROM FILES OF THE CITIZEN » OF MAY 10. 1933 The Rev.

The idea should be exploded, if any- thing can explode it, by the statement of the Premier on May 1st, when he stressed the contribution that the’ United States and Great Britain are making to the defeat of Germany and endorsed “unconditional sur render” in the following words: “Is it not ¢lear that only the complete rout of the Hit- lerite armies and the unconditional surren- der of Hitlerite Germans can bring Europe to peace?” « The public acceptance of the uncon- ditional surrender policy of the Anglo- Americans by the Russian dictator ought to énd the fears of timid souls in this country who have suggested the possibility of a surprise peace between Germany and Rus- sia which would leave the and Great Britain to finish the war alone. If this is sufficient the fact is that Stal: | in referred to reports indicating that “the Germans would like to conclude peace with Great Britain and the United States of America under conditions of their separa- tion from the Soviet Union, or, vice versa, they would like to make peace with the Soviet Union under conditions of a separa- tion from England and the United States of America,”’ and added “The German imper- ialists have the impudence to measure the Allies by their own yardstick, presuming that one of them would fall into the trap.” Any modern child can tell you why the old people are out of date; this may explain what's the matter with the world. Fame is fleeting: We do not know the name of the champion checker player of Key West. The costly and radical experiments of the New Deal are falling by the board, It was an experiment, not so noble, but an ex- | periment that taught experience. Now “the monkey’s dead and the show’s over.” United States | far in admitting what his opponent said was true, it appeared he had been brought over to his opponent’s views, and then he inter- jected the telling “but’’ that confounded his adversaries and firmly established his point of view. None of us knows everything; the fact is we know few things thoroughly, but there are a good many of us who think we know everything, blissfully unaware that we are opinionated. Look at both sides fairly, and then you will not be apt, when The Citizen gives both sides, to accuse it of unfairness. SS A politician is not to be’despised in this land of the free and the home of the voter. After all, how do you expect democracy to eperate without politicians? A MATTER OF PRAISE Tf you want to praise yourself or praise a friend in a letter to a newspaper, don’t be ashamed to sign your name to the lettér; if you disagree with anybody’s point of view, don’t be afraid to that, and you will add strength to the letter, even though you wrote and got somebody else to sign it. The reading public pays little attention to a letter signed “Taxpayer”, “Citizen”, “Subscriber”, or what not. The conclusion the reader reaches is that the author .2 the letter does not want his name to be known, Sequence, as should be the case. Another worthy thing to do, munity, regardless of whether or not you sueceed in attaining your aim, is neither to seek praise nor praise yourself, but find your | recompense in the knowledge that you have done what your conscience! ‘hasyprompted you to do, HA TAC Sought-praise is just as distasteful as self-praise. She wasin California the other day, but there is no telling where she is now. LAWYERS A “PRETTY GOOD LOT” Judge John C. Knox, a Federal jurist, after twenty-five years on the bench, con- cludes, “Lawyers, after all that you may say | about them, are a pretty good lot.” | The judge has witnessed the members | of the bar under conditions that make them | “pretty good” fellows. Few attofneys would | be otherwise before a jurist with the power | to send them to jail for éontempt.
