They slaughtered the innocent _ whenever they thought such ‘tion was necessary to the promotion of the aims of the Nazis, and sometimes, with- out any cause, and for sheer brutality only, men, women and children were slain. But things are different now for the 22 Nazi leaders; ‘who are squirming. on the; anxious seat while they wait for the verdict that will be rendered against them on September 22, following aj trial that began last Novem- ber. During the trial tens of > thousands of words, in the shape of testimony, were told the court about the Nazi‘ barbarities. Millions killed in\gas chambers, other millions put to the sword. Europe was soaked in blood, and billions in property were destroyed by Hitler and his minions in their attempts te rule or ruin. They ruled for awhile, at least in Europe, but the ruin still stands and will continue to stand for many a day. But Poland, Belgium, France and even the Nazi satellite nations will arise again long before stability is reestablished in Ger- many. Hitler, in his cries to ral- ly the German people in 1944, declared that, if Ger- many lost the war, she would not recover from its effects for a thousand years. He exaggerated, though Germany likely still will be staggering from the effects of the war until the end of of this century. As late as the 1860's speakers for labor were de- nounced in the press and and called, among other “mames, anarchists, incen- diaries, blood-and-thunder spouters, and hungry-looking loafers.

EVERYONE SHOULD ' VOTE Next Monday the people of Key West will go to the polls in a special election to name a city commissioner. There are two candidates for the office—Louis Car- Carbonell and Will Dough- try, aspirants for the job. So far, there appears to be. little public interest in this special election, This ap- pearance may be deceptive, but it is probable that too many qualified voters are|ing last night in too careless about municipal | courthouse. elections.

Several merchants filed | 1 complaints against the amounts} ilege to have a part in th election’ of those who wil administer public affairs. There is a disposition in some quarters to regard municipal elections as the concern of the “politicians.” It remains true that it is a mistake to leave the election outcome. to officers, poten- tial or aspiring, to partisan committees, to ward heelers and hangers on. : In government the people get what they ask for or what they tacitly consent to.
