That fact ‘was glaringly demonstrated at a meeting of the city commission a few days ago, ‘become of Garrison Bight?” and Mayor Demeritt answ- ered, “It has died a natural death.” He! said a similar end had come to the botan- ical garden and ‘manicipal pier projects. : Had the mayor said “us- ual death,” it would have} -been.exactly in keeping with what has happened to a hun- dred and one proposals for the improvement of Key West.

The suggestion that the deleggtes*to the peace con- ference. should be members of €efislative body elect- ed by the people of a coun- try does not meet the need. Obviously, there are many members of the American Congyess with views on for- eign “questions that have never been approved by the people of the United States in any direct vote. There is cettal mg reason to be- lieve tha§ the selection of a member ®f Congress would give the United States a delegate more in line with the viesys of the people than the Seeretary of State, ap- pointed by the President. It should: not be over- looked, in. this connection, that there are many coun- tries in which the people are not accustomed to partéci- pate directly by vote or oth- erwise in determining grave and important issues.
