THE MAJORITY SHOULD ORGANIZE The development of politics in the United States has reached the point where practically every minority is militantly ag- gressive, thus forcing office-holders to pay particular attention to them in order to capture a minority vote. This is a strange situation. The major- ity, in most electoral districts, is not as well organized as the aggressive minorities and, consequently, what it thinks and what it wants often fails to receive as much atten- tion as the vociferous demands of the min- orities. This is a distinct danger to the success- ful operati: of the Government of the United ées. Eventually, the vast major- ity of Americans will become tired of the successful strategy of the organized minor- ~ities. Then the majority will organize itself and the prospects of the minorities will be bad, d It is important that minorities under- stand that most of their rights, privileges and opportunities come , to them through the tolerance of the majority. In few coun- “tries of the world can one find a situation -where the majority is persistently heckled and criticized by minorities which enjoy equal, and sometimes, superior rights. There are congressmen in the Unitedl States who dare not take any position that conflicts with the prejudices or desires of minorities that are, to say the least, not theroughly Aimerican. . Large districts in Northern and West- ~ern States contain huge foreign-born popu- lations. Some of these people have had no training whatever in democracy and many of them are not concerned with the Amer- ican systern of Government. They want re- sults and they are organized politically to get them. Of course, if the majority should or- ganize and seek to play a dominant role in the management of American political affairs, the cry would instantly be heard that the majority was intolerant. Certainly this is foolishness. It can hardly be tolerant for minori- ties to organize and aggressively assert themselves and intolerant for a majority te do the same thing. TO “PACIFIC AREAS” Writing from San Francisco, Turner Catledge informs the readers of The New York Timés that “American men by the thousands are pouring through this port to Pacific areas.” Accompanying and following them, he adds, “are millions of tons of food, equip- ment and munitions.” This may ‘be news to some Americans: who have adopted the popular misconcep- tion that the United States is doing nothing about the war with Japan. The accident toll in the United States’ fs big enough to warrant serious attention and so, if you value your life, be careful. Individuals with surplus money to spend might take a tip from smart business men and lay up some capital for another day NOW BELONGS TO YOU You may recall what George Wash- ington said to his secretary, who came to | work late two or three times a week, when | he gave this excuse for being behind time: | t i | | “General, my watch must be slow.” “You change your watch or I’ll change my secretary,” Washington snapped back. Monday morning a Key West boy, who | drifted in to work 10 minutes behind time, when asked ‘his.reason for being late, re- plied ,“I had @'flat.” The Boss,had an excellent opportunity to paraphrase. the Father of Our Country, but, instead, he remarked: “Always an excuse.” The watch, the flat, ora doZei ‘aid one other excuses make work hard for many cf us. We live only Now, and we should see to it to do what should be done Now. If we ad- here to that principle, turning out work when t should be turned out, it is no longer a trying task; many of us get pleasure out of _| doing work at the time it should be done. The Citizen knows of several house- wives who complain constantly about dish- washing. “Anything else but that!” one blurts, and another tunes in, “A big pile of dishes makes my heart drop into my heels!” Whenever you hear a housewife say that dishwashing is a bugbear to her, ask her if she doesn’t let her dishes pile up from meal to meal. If she is frank, she will admit she does; and then you can give her this as-| surance: F “Madam, if you wash your dishes promptly after each meal, it will end once and for all the bother of dishwashing.” And that rule applies to any calling. If you have a book to balance and put off bal- ancing it till other items are added to the ones that should have been attended to promptly, you may be sure that book will seem like an insuperable task. Lord Brougham was once told in the House of Lords, in England, that he did more work than any other three men in the British Empire, and he was requested to ex- plain how he was able to accomplish so much. He replied: “By doing Now what should be done Now.” In enlarging on that point, he declar- ed that, in the course of a day, the accumu- lation of work is unbelievably large, if one shoulders aside this or that thing that should be attended to immediately. » »» Work tries the souls of men and womer too when it is permitted to pile up. However strange it may seem to be, washing dishes from two meals is far more than twice as hard as washing dishes promptly from one meal. The sight of the pile alone makes it appear five times as hard, and, with one’s mind in that state, probably it is more than five times as tiresome. All deferred work is hard work. The man who really likes his work is he who does it when it should be done. Now and Now alone belongs to you, and the time to work is Now. Anybody can be friendly with an indi- vidual who is friendly. Japan has been called a nation that fights German style, with a feudal hang- over. Our own prediction: The next thirty days will bring some good war news and! bd won't be good for the Axis. Americgns, who believe that we should iorgive, guilty Japs and Germans. for their heinous crimes, should stand up to be count- ed. It is going to be the Biblical injunction of ‘‘an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.” LO, THE POTATO! A lowly food item, one taken pretty much for granted and certainly not listed among the finer dishes crowding the Am- erican dining table, that is now coming into its own, is the potato or earthy “spud’’. To- day this vegetable has risen in rank to as- sume an important spot on the: diet; since many other vegetables have become scarce in many sections. _ Imagine the surprise and chagrin when‘a bo e must go® from store to ns o find that once plen- tiful and prolific potato. And in many parts?of t sountry: the housewife couldn't buy a po’ to in any store! In some cities the price has been exorbitant and a black market thrived in the potato business, causing a shortage and a problem. The south has felt acutely for weeks past the dwindling supply and has changed menus accordingly. So it rises in importance and prominence, it enters as a topic into Key West conversation and has given rise to the idea of folks who have the space to convert growing. a goodly share of their garden to potato THE KEY WEST CITIZEN BACK TO NATURE TONIC Meander wearied of it all, Fed-up and quite frustrated ; Position, money, family, They all semed overrated. “To save my soul,” he mused, “I'll leave This artificial life.” Which really meant that he was set To beat it from his wife. For he was young at fifty; with Lesser years his wife was old, And the conjugal atmosphere Was more than somewhat cold. A book, “The Moon and Sixpence”, chanced His fancy to beguile, Suggesting an escape upon Some distant tropic isle. To stimulate his painter’s art The hero crossed two oceans. Meander needed prodding, too, Bonds and cash and real estate And income-bearing stocks. He deeded half his fortune to His not too happy wife And left the old domestic war For broader scenes of strife. He filled a freighter with the things That savages most prize And civilized eseapists says , They utterly despise. *Pwas nothing new for one.who long Had sowed and reaped wild oats; The same old bill of lading, save * For jewels and mink coats. He found his tropic island and The natives bade him in; The way was clear to save his soul Through clarifying sin. They loudly hailed him “King”, then held A tribal plebicite That liquidated all opposed Who dared put up a fight. The island’s biggest cocoanut They carved into a crown And on his balding royal head They laughingly pressed it down. But what’s a King without a Queen? (A man’s no older than he feels.) Meander married twenty brides, Youthful, plump and sleek as seals. The natives held a monstrous dance With drums and incantations In which an impure mind might read Suggestive implications. The revels lasted for a month, And what with island nights Meander’s soul was purified And soared to dizzy heights. ‘ But after some delightful months Of new life had elapsed He found his soul still going strong, His body near-collapsed. And though he found it difficult To sort the grain from chaff, He now divorced his harem by A fraction less than half: But lifelong slave of gadget gods He had incurred their frown; Old Nemesis camped on his trail: MEANDER LOST HIS CROWN! The crown let go a molar and A, dental bridge caved in; Empty | was his mouth and too. ° His sense of saving aE. Rick he went six thousand mon % One purpose swayed A dentist’s chair was better than The throne he’d left behind. Home again and whole again The trouble seemed to be An error of the maps, a matter Of geography. He fitted out another ship And then prepared to go For further reconditioning Among the Esquimeaux.
