MACHINE POLITICS

People of the reformer type look with suspicion
on various methods of organization that they call
machine politics. They fear the power of these
highly perfected systems that carry on political act
ivities in many states.
And yet, satisfactory political results not
obtained without some organization. If no one
prepared any lists of candidates, and the voters
just marched up to the polls and voted for anyone
whose names occurred to them, conditions would
be much worse than now. Many freak candidates
would be elected and selfish interests would quiet
" put over their programs.
A vast amount of organization has to be done
to controrthe sweeping tides Of public opinion, and
direct them in some orderly and rational way.
The old time politicians remark that the re-
formers would forbid them to spend much of any
money, and would not permit them 10 offer politi-
cal office to those who perform political work. and
they ask how people are to be induced to do all
this organization work, if it all must be done with
out hope of personal advantage?
The answer to that would seem to be, that if
the mass of the people object to the use of money
in elections, and if they don't like spoils politics.

selves and not pass the buck over to the politicians
for all these results
If people would read all political discussion in
the newspapers if they would attend political raj
lies and lectures, so that such subjects could be
discussed everywhere these results could be secured
without looking so much to the methods of machine
politics. Political machines are the natural result
of neglect Of civic duty on the part of the people

THEN AND NOW

The recent celebration of the 150th anniver-
sary of the birth of this nation raises the question
whether conditions now existing are such to
make more capable and resourcefu people than
chose of that early date.
We feel proud of our modern civilization, yet
it often seems if it produced certain enfeebe-
ment of character and capacity When people have
everything done for them, there may be no develop
ment of their own initiative.
Pioneers in new country always have ter
ribly hard time. And yet their experience makes
them very resourceful They learn to handle all
kinds of tools, they become adept in agricultural
and mechanical arts, and they turn their hands
to anything with fair degree of success.
Nowadays people can telephone the landlord
if things about their house do not work right if
hey own the place they usually telephone the car
penter someone else if things get out of order.
They therefore lose good deal of practical ability
They are carried around everywhere in their auto
mobiles, and may lose physical stamina. They are
provided with surfeit of amusements, and they
develop lack of resources of their own.
Yet people have infinitely more of advantages
now thah formerly, Ihey make use OF theM'
Newspapers, magazines and books supply them with
information every hand. They get long start
in school, where they become familiar with events
and developments all over the world. High school
graduates are better informed to-day than the
binary run of middle aged people were century
ago.
Present conditions give wide open opportun-
ity. But opportunity is like abundant food, if you
have more than you know how to use, you may get
indigestion.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1926-07-20
f4ls agK vEMENT

Il seems to be essential for the development
there shall constantly be some achievement. If q
country continues to rest on the things done in the
past, and seek no finer development. it must de-
cline. The same is true of a man or woman.
As we look back on American history it is per-
feetly marvellous what has been accomplished in
$50 years. Most of the country was then prac-
tically unbroken wilderness, tenanted only by wild
beasts and red Indians. In these $50 years, the
american people have turned that wilderness into
highly developed civilization. Nothing like it has
ever occurred in the history Of mankind.
But what are we in this age doing that is in any
wuy comparable7 Are we just going to lie down con-
4snt with what these people did in past generations?
sAnd what win happen If we just accept Whist is
handed to us and il there is but little Of struggle
and achieyement in our own experienced Where are
the wildernesses for US to conquer?
There arc wild portions of the earth sin un,
developed. but it is not necessary for people to
start off to try to tame them.
! There is plenty for All of Us TO do rghs around
home which viii eal for energy and self devotion.
II Is not the hard physical labor Of cutting down
forests and building roads and filling virgin soil
Ruser it is the often thankess task Of doing useful
: sfings In our home towns which often takes more
courage and persistence than is called for by those
who choose the lot Of pioneers But we need to re-
fleet that people all need to conquer something and
70 overcome obstacles as did their ancestors. and
when hey fail to do that they become soft and de-
generate.

AUTOMOBILE LICENSE PLATES

Since the automobile license plates for this
state are to be manufactured at minimum in the
state penitentiary seems that two plases for each
car should be provided one for the front and an
other for the rear, the custom in almost
other state in the union.
This would save frequent embarrassment for
Flordians touring the country and especially in
quired.
Their are many obvious reasons why two plates
are better than one on an automobile, and it is
strange that Florida does not require all to be
equipped that way,
Now that the plates are to be made at least
provide two plates instead Of one
