Key West APR. 39. 1008 " i9as SATURDAY, HELPING GOOD MEN It has been said repeatedly and truly {that the most essential thing in a city or ‘any other type of government is to have | good men to operate it. In other words, | regardless of the kind of government we have, if the men in office are more con- cerned in their. political welfare.than they J are if the welfare of the community, ‘thei Jit wit b be of little. consequence.) t Yet, in reasoning in that vein;°we are likely to overlook, the fact thatthe better } the ‘fétm of government the more effici-,, affairs. Two good men, or half'a dozen, who can row well, can send a boat along at a pretty fast clip, but, give them a motor, they will be able to have the boat go faster. to our servicemen. They are good fight- ers, but the better weapons they are given ithe more effectively they can fight.

She knew that Captain Gordon had had a long talk with Jerry earlier in ‘> morning, but Jerry was whitefaced, grim-eyed, and hostile as he got into the car | where Hugh waited to drive them to the station. On the platform, a few minutes before the train was due, they stood awkwardly, Jerry with his hands sunk deeply into his pock- ets, his bitter young eyes on the track down which the train would come thundering. There was a terrific clattering of chains on the icy road as a battered old truck slammed its wav up to the platform, and a girl, hath rapped in.a raccoon coat. a scarf tied over her tumbled black curls, her face so white that her dark eyes looked enormous in that pallor, tumbled’out of the Wattened ears yr. t piebel ae eves for mo one save h ran tawaaa him, what he w: Avra nes.
