I thought. that an appointment lasted for the term of office.” Not in politics, We have heard a good many Key Westers say that they don’t feel confident till they reeeive their eommis- sion, yet a commission may be received and be recalled, as happened in the case of a Key Wester three days ago. That’s polities also, and grit your |, teeth as much as you may, “To the voter belongs, the. spoils” in polities. Im discussing that old time saying, % Key Wester said: ‘ “¥ou» would think that in national, state and local politics, the men elected | would be more concerned in appointing to office persons who are capable of filling the office well, but that doesn’t seem to be the way of a democracy. Even a president | of the United States, in naming a man to , office, spoke about the great help he had ,30n, | through polities, should be acutely aware | that he ean lose it through politics. If that | turns out to be so, he should not be resent- | ful; instead, he should laugh it off, or at- } | tempt to laugh it off. Wise is the man who ; says sincerely, “I got it through politics, | and I lost it through politids.” been to the party in the previous general election.” All of which is true, and, for that rea- anybody who gets a public office We have known a good many men in "| Kex. West, antd elsewhere who thought that ; PEACE UP TO BIG POWERS | /: if the office they held belonged to them; at ‘le War and peace depend ultimately on | the latge nations, asserts Harold D. Butler, British minister, who points out that the Jarge nations “alone are capable of pre- venting others from waging war.” The British diplomat points out that it is “a great mistake to suppose that because ult nations have equal rights, they are therefore equally. important and equally effective as factors for keeping the peac To be realistic in regard to the ques- lion of keeping world peace, we must real- ize, as Mr. Butler said, that ‘peace or war: ultimately depends on the large powers, not the small powers,” and that we must build our castle of peace on the solid ‘ground of this fact or “it willesome day <vanish into thin air.” Certainly, it ought to be appdrent, when the present wars end, that the British Commonwealth, the Soviet Union, the *United States and possibly China, will be the only ge nations capable of waging “war, To this list we should add France, be- cause that nation will undoubtedly take its place among the leading powers: of the world. F If these five powers can get together and agree on an existing scheme of inter- ational atfairs, the danger of war will be fargely obviated for many decades. Obvi- ously, if these five powers cannot agree, the danger of war will continue to exist. No small nation could contemplate a suc- cessful belligerency against the combined force of the five nations named. WATCH YOUR STEP The stock market is growing in popu- arity, as prices of particular issues go up find down. Those people who “lost their ghirts” in the early 1930s will still remem- Ber that they really never were financiers; jut instead lost babes in the wodds. " ® A new crop of suckers has been: bern, one was led to reach that conclusion by the way they spoke of their jobs. We. have known office-holders also, who, judging by their talk, thought that when anybody ran against them, he showed what we generally call “monumental nerve.” The very idea that anybody should | oppose them! Take politics in its stride, and you will have no reason to feel hurt or be dis- appointed. Care in talk is a shield to the troops in the field! Americans aren’t tightwads but Fed- eral_authorities have got the dope on indi- viduals who have added almost 17 billion dollars to their cash holdings during the past year and the total of hidden dollars now reaches 95 billion. This is looked upon as the greatest danger of all in producing inflation. 5 RIGOROUS DIETS DANGEROUS » ovplijomen.and young.¢irls,.all. ever the country have gone crazy on the*subject of reduction in weight. Every one of them who imagines that she is a few pounds. be- | yond a sylph-like figure plans to cut down food in order to take off the excess. Well, it is rather risky, ladies. You don’t have to take our word far it. Con- sult your doctor. Few women in Key West are dieti- | cians of sufficient éxperience to know how | to properly diet themselves. Nine times out of 10 the careless “diets” result more fat, or at least no reduction, but are accompanied, it is feared by medical au- thorities, with nervous diseases and a gen- eral weakening of the body.’ One way to reduce is to take more ex- | excises, Try ‘that before you eut out food. )Pcdyrse, we know that most people eat 400 mueh and could eliminate some pound- and maybe they will start to invest and thew Puke *by eating prope#fy but to severely re- gradually begin to gamble. Stocks have real values—so don’t bug, them until you find out what they are ac- tually worth—to keep and to hold. Some denizens of the deep are gour- mands; the male adult sea lion, for in- stance, devours some 40 ‘pounds a day, Many stumble in life, not so much be- duce the diet is positively dangerous. Because of the electricity iu the hair, perhaps, the women are wearing those hats that look like lamp shades.
