In the days of Pepys men wore their hats af the dinner-table, but that isn’t as unconventional as the wearing of shorts, now often done. You will never regret putting the best eaning on the acts of others; nor be rry for closing your ears to gossip, This plies particularly to newspaper men. “SLOWER AND SLOWER” Unless residents of Key West who are eligible to vote qualify for the May pri- maries in much larger numbers than they have done thus far, the registration list for the county will be much smaller than during any other time since the turn of the century. The books have been opened since January 7 and will+be closed on April 30, so that, by Wednesday, the number of days for registering will have reached the half-way mark. And yet only 1,300. resi- dents in the entire county have yet quali- fied. Apathy toward the coming election in ; Monroe jis confined to Key West! Avith the exception of Upper Matecumbe. At Mara- thon’ and Tavernier, particularly, regis- tration is good, considering the size of those places. As to Matecumbe, few are register- ing because residents there resent having to go to Tavernier to qualify. It is Key West, excepting Matecumbe again, where the worst showing in quali- fying is evident. “Slower and slower,” was Supervisor John England’s comment yes- terday, and he added: “Most of those who have not qualified will wait till the last moment, so to speak, before coming to the courthouse to register. There will be a rush then, which will inconvenience the late _comers, who could attend to their , to wait to register was fairly regudar,’ but in Mr. England’s office the only busy time is on Saturday morning. The city’ registration went over the 4,900 mark. What will be the number in the county with only 1,300 now qualified? Alexander J. Cherry, a former Key Wester, of Caracas, Venezuela, now a sub- scriber of The Key West Citizen, states that he receives his Miami paper on the same day it is issued, but regrets that he looks in vain for Key,West news.
