That question is not aimed at Key Westers only, for it is applicable to the people in every community. One does not have te be versed in an- cient history to know that that type of grasping has been a part of human nature as far back as history runa, and, without doubt. the samé thing was true of mankind in prehistoric times. The cireumstance of dealing with the shadow and not the substance may be ap- plied in many ways. Samuel Pepys, who held high office in naval affairs in Great Britain, wrote 277 years ago, in comment- ing on a parliament investigation of the affairs of the British navy: “They bite at the stone and disregard the hand that flings it.” Shadow grabbing eccurs in politics | more frequently than in any other calling. | With the largest number of candidates for | five positions on the city commission in the history of Key West for any group of offi- including the city council, a good many of the candidates, in conducting their == } ces, campaigns, are overlooking substances and | are grabbing at shadows. | Some people, in their sayings and do- | ings, appear to be completely unaware of | the working of human nature.
