When the scnool boy plays hookey, it is his first indication of class hatred. Proper newspaper advertising pays dividends to the advertisers and the ,>eader. A bright Sunday School boy de scribed “sins of omission” as “sins we in tended to commit but didn’t.” “For Sunshine, Climate^Health and Rest, The Travel-wise will choose Key West.” —Ernest L. Elmhurst. Most persons will admit that they have been foolish at times, but % would re ject the suggestion that they are still that way. Citizen Ernest Hemingway is quoted as .having said that in order to be an ex pert deep-sea angler, one must know how to suffer—just like a great singer. There are more people in Key West now than there were during the Overseas Highway Celebration last year. Quite naturally, President Roosevelt is the draw ing card. Practically everybody wants to up hold the Constitution when it takes care of them or their interests, but what the Constitution requires is support all the time and by all. Let us hope that the weatherman will be polite and considerate and continue during President Roosevelt’s visit this de lightful weather with which Key West is being blessed at the present time. While neither Mussolini nor Hitler have the power to dictate who is to be the next pope, a Mussolini controlled paper demands that the next pope be an Italian, in fact mentions a few who would be per •-pona grata if chosen. • Public hearings will start March 15 on-the Florida ship canal. Senators An* d£ws and Pepper favor the project, but iZSpresentative Cannon will have to shoot m •the Antis. He will be furnished with | plenty of ammunition. *4 “C Florida’s Great Seal shows a back ground of mountains, yet there are no mountains in Florida, the highest elevation 'being 325 feet. Perhaps the designers had in mind the lofty ideals of this Common wealth and depicted the mountains as ■ symbols of its aims and aspirations. Mayor Albury will be seated with President Roosevelt on the way to Key vja the Overseas Highway. The ""President is an observant individual and a ZJfnistent questioner. This column hopes _our genial mayor will know all the an rs. As one of the Highway Commis sioners he is qualified to do just that, and ; -Key West may feel comfortably satisfied -that its representation is in capable hands. -2T~ It is possible, though remotely, that American Cardinal will be named as the successor of Pius XI. Cardinal O'Con nell is too old to be thought of, besides is not a well man; Cardinal Mundelein is persona non grata in the totalitarian states, so Cardinal Dougherty is the remaining one to be considered, but hasn’t much chance of election as Mussolini’s influence will undoubtedly sway the Italian car dinals who outnumber the others by a big ;; .priority. • r i BROTHERHOOD WEEK 1 The growth of totalitarianism abroad, both fascist and communist, makes it par ticularly appropriate that this year’s ob servance of Brotherhood Week, under the j auspices of the National Conference of Christians and Jews, should be devoted to the theme, “Democracy and Freedom.” America has more to fear from the propa ganda of subversive elements from within than frqm attach by any outside nation or ' ••* ** •'* V IT } * group: The United States can perform its most use f*Lse*y ice t<£- civilization by mak ing demoMAci We must re pudiate a\Jhries of hatred. The Amer ican population includes the descendants of forty old world nations, people of all j racial strains, followers of every great liv ir.g religion. If we allow hate and rumor mongers to set grbup against group, we j are lost. Strife between Christians and Jews, j Catholics and Protestants, was introduced 1 by more than one subversive organizer in \ Europe, who wanted to get factions fight ing among themselves, that they might i step in to dictate over all. American demo cracy needs mutual trust and cooperation amtrttlH'Protestants, Catholics and Jews. That'% the message of Brotherhood Week. A great deal of propaganda is being spread in both South and North America to weaken the faith of Americans in demo cracy and freedom. This propaganda takes its most vicious form in a libelous campaign against particular racial and religious groups. Sometimes this propa ganda is disseminated under high-sound ig and patriotic phases. It is, however, completely un-American, and its objective, ■! far from being patriotic, is to foist totali tarian principles uppn the people of this country. This propaganda of prejudice and hatred is not the spontaneous reaction of decent Americans; it is a carefully or ganized, well-financed, unscrupulous cam paign to break down traditional American concepts of tolerance, religious freedom, justice and fair play. Any attempt to blame a single group for economic ills, | political situations or ideological systems is vicious, unscrupulous and without any 1 basis in fact. Such attempts will be re jected by every decent American no mat- ; ter what his faith or political leanings or economic status. America must, and will, set an ex ample to the world by rejecting all doc trines of hatred, and by making goodwill ! and cooperation among all faiths, classes and groups a reality. THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER A recent bulletin of the American Newspaper Publishers Association carries word of the newspaper advertising views of Safeway Stores, Inc., a large Western food chain. These views could be profit ably emulated by industry and commerce j in general. In brief, the Safeway company be lieves that newspapers of regular publica- j tion, large and small, perform an im portant public service, and that advertis ing revenue is essential to keeping the price|(Charged the subscriber, low enough to bring the paper within financial reach of every possible family. The company believes that when the so-called free circulation newspaper at tempts to lure advertisers, using a lower ! rate as bait, “it is the beginning of a vicious circle—first, depleting the established publication; next, through bankruptcy, depriving the community of such news service; encouraging the free distribution ! paper into becoming a paid circulation and news distributing publication, followed by additional free circulation papers and thus completing the cycle.” Finally, the Safeway company in structs its division managers to avoid using handfcjffis and free distribution papers ex- I absolutely necessary, and then !-‘*P he . job shops of local regular news j where possible. fe is a logical and progressive policy." The local newspaper fills a vital place in the American scene. It is more j than a business—it is a record of the times in which we live. Through news and com ment it brings to its readers knowledge of what is going on at home—as well as what is going on in the far flung capitals of the world. Measured by the rigid yardstick of dollars-and-cents alone, the newspaper advertiser gets his full money’s worth— and at the same time makes possible the ! existence of an irreplaceable institution. T#E KEY WEST CITIZEN ! KE Y WEST IN ! DAYS GONE BY ! I Happenings Here Just 10 Veers > Ago Today As Taken From The Files of The Citiaen j ' r " ] Rescue work by means of a diving bell will be conducted on the submarine S-4 this afternoon in the harbor. The bell will be I lowered over the open hatch of the submerged submarine and . the men will emerge from the submarine into the bell and be raised to the surface. This test !is considered of minor import j ance as it can be .used only an calm weather, and when the sub marine is lying upright. The Mal lard and submarine returned to , port this morning after finishing the escape tests at a depth of 120 ; feet, 40 miles out at sea. The tender and sub anchored off Smith’s Shoals last night and came into_port this morning. The escape tests were brought to a close yesterday when Lieutenant C. B. Momsen and Chief Torpedo man Edward Kalinoski left the sub at the depth of 120 feet in 1 the Gulf of Mexico and by means of the new escape devices reach ed the surface safely. The escape definitely proved that the escape lock and lung are practicable at any depth and that the men who lost their lives were not sacrific ed in vain. Escapes had already been made from 40 to 70 feet, but those of today and yester day, were convincing evidence that the equipment tested is up to the minute for the work for which it was intended. County commissioners will convene in special session 8 o’clock tonight at the county court house for a conference with a representative of the American Automobile Associa tion, who has requested the board to hear him on a question of travel .by tourists and highways. . Following the request a. caucus was held by the board and the matter was explained to the members present. It was then agreed to call a special meeting of the board and it was so au thorized. i- v ■ ■" Mr. and Mrs. G. E. Johnstone i and Miss H. Johnstone, of New York, are resting easily at a lo cal tourist hotel today following | their frightful experience of yes terday when their automobile left the highway and plunged to the boggy water through which the road was built to Summer land Key. Editorial comment: According to Domingo Milord, who was j Cuban Consul in Key West for many years, Herbert Hoover will visit Havana shortly after his in auguration on March 4. It is es timated the President will be in Key West for a few hours on his way over on his return. This city’s proximity to Cuba has its advantages. George W. Dunlap, who, for the past two years, has been the gen eral clerk in the offices of the Key West Electric Cos., has been transferred to a position in the accounting department of the Sa vannah Electric Cos., and left by rail last night for his station. Miss Thelma Olsen and Leslie Russell, graduate of the Key ( West High School, will be united in marriage next Sunday even ing in Fleming Street Methodist church, with the pastor, Rev. Sterling Gardner, officiating.' Miss Grace Olsen, sister of the I bride, and Miss Elizabeth Baker ( i will be the bridesmaids and Mrs. Ingurthe Pinder, matron of hon-J or. George Adams and Frank Sheppard will stand with the groom. Reward of SIOO is being offer ed by the city council of Key j West for the arrest and cbnvic- Ition of the party or parties who punctured or cut a number of automobile tires near the Casa Marina Hotel on the night of j February 12. An official notice . of the reward is in The Citizen 1 today. >■■■!

Ladd, agents of the Motor' Vehicle Bureau of Florida are expected to arrive in Key West on February 19, and start the regular check on motor vehicles without the 1939 license tags. There will be several, , of the agents in the city at that time and what their actions will be cannot be predicted. But it is a well-established fact that there will not be as much leniency shown as has been the case in the past. They have been taking the cars found without the 1939 li cense, arresting the owners, stor ing the vehicles, and when the cases have been disposed of in court, the owners pay all the charges, including the fees for storage, if they are found guilty. There have been sold to the present time 1,361 tags, which is a larger number than were sold at this time last year, but is still far short of the 1,700 sales antici pated by the tax collector at the beginning of the sales period.
