PATRIOTIC DUTY OF LOYAL KEY wEsTERs

It is the patriotic duty of every loyal citizen
to vote, and an opportunity to do SO should be
grasped as pleasing privilege. As result of
indifference and carelessness the usual number of
citizens not qualifying to participate in the
approaching June primary, when really there
should be more than in former years.
It is not to be believed that any citizen of
Key West, either man or woman, would pass up
this patriotic duty in order to avoid paying the
paltry required for poll tax. but for some
reason or other the people of this country not
taking the interest in election that they should.
The men seem to neglect to qualify until it is too
late, and the women, who cried loud and long for
suffrage, represent only fifteen per cent of those
now qualifying, according to latest reports from
the registration office. Are women less patriotic
than men, or are they eighty-five per cent more
careless about the affairs of their country than
the male citizens?
In all the history of Key West and Monroe
county, there has never been time when it was
more imperatively necessary to have good and
capable men in office than just at this time. It
would be very serious error to remove good
measure up to every requirement, and greater
would be the mistake to select new, unsuitable
and incompetent person for any office
"God give us MEN" should be the prayer of
every voter who casts ballot. 1t is sacred duty
deyolving upon every loyal citizen, men and wo-
men, to qualify, and to vote, as this is the only
way that capable and desirable people can be Sc
iected to fill the important offices of the city,
county, state and nation. For this reason it is
Of utmost Importance that every one who can
should qualify and vote.
.'rhe still small voice within is the safest
guide in the world in seeking decision between
right and wrong. Any elector who honestly and
sincerely follows the dictates of his own con-
science, regardless of Influences that may be
brought to bear, cannot go far wrong in casting a
ballot.
It is to be hoped that more speed will develop
in the matter of qualifying to vote in the June
primary, and that representative ballot may be
cast at this election, which will be one of the most
vitality important political contests ever held in
Key West and Monroe county.

OUR DEBT TO ITALY

Italy Is rather prominent in world affairs just
now, the interest Of the. United States in that
country being chiefly concerned with the settle
ment of It's war debt The personality and policies
of the Italian premier and dictator, Mussolini,
also the subject of much discussion.
Without here entering into consideration of
these current problems, they may well remind us
Of the debt the world owes to Italy for the part
played by her thinkers, writer's and artists in
fsscuing mankind from the decadence of the Dark
Ages.
From the seventh until the fourteenth century
was q sorrowful period in the worlds history. Be-
tween the emperors and the popes, whose power
supreme, the intellects as well as the bodies of
the great mass of humanity were cruelty enslaved
|. was truly period of darkness intellectual
moral and spiritual.
About the year lA0O there arose in Italy that
great movement known as the Renaissance, or re-
