DYING GANG RULE
Pensacola Journal)

1t is heartening to reaed the report of
the Illinois states attorney, Thomas j.
Courtney. that organized gangs have been
wiped out of Chicago. and that gang kill
ings this year have been kept down to two.
Chicago, for so many years, has been
the center of racketeering and other gang
ster activities that it has acquired an UNI
enviable reputation among American
cities. Thanks to its aroused citizenry,
and to the help of the federal government,
Chicago has succeeded finally in clearing
itself of this stigma.
There are gangsters, yet, in Chicago
there may be gang murders, too. But with
Chicago's lawabiding people in active con-
troll of the city, these gangsters soon would
find their activities as unhealthy here as
elsewhere.

KEY WEST AQUARIUM

Few things give a city as widespread
publicity as good aquarium, and the fact
that one is to be built here should be a
source of qualification to every Key West
err.
Eleven years ago The Citizen, as re-
suit of series of articles it published in
which Louis Mobray, one of the foremost
aquarists and ichthyologists in the coul-
try, pointed out what decided asset an
aquarium would be to Key West, began its
advocacy of that project and has ever since
included it in the program of improvements
considered as essential to the welfare of
this city.
AS many Key Westers may recall, Mr..
Mobray, who had come here every summer
for several years to collect fish for the New
York Aquarium, suggested that the city
raise SIS 900 to construct an aquarium, and
The Citizen strongly backed the proposal.
However, it developed that the city was not
financially able to sponsor the project, but
the interest created by The Citizen became
oO SICdG Q1litOI Wv 0uI1y DuIlL, dt Ills OWil
expense, a tank in which to exhibit fish.
From that comparatively small tank
Key West was given thousands of dollars
worth of publicity. Nearly every day for
several weeks The Citizen ran story about
the activitieslof little runner that was ex-
hibited in the tank, and the human inter-
est. element in the story became so gripping
Hundreds of people every day went to Cur
rvs fish market to see the runner.
But the interest in the story was not
confined to Key West. Papers throughout
Florida reprinted the story, and, before
long, it came to the attention of Hamilton
w. Wright, who issued, through his sym
dictate, an illustrated page story about .'The
Little Runner" That story, as Mr.. Wright
informed the Key West Chamber of Com
merce, was not only published in news
papers with large calculations in this coun-
try but also in foreign papers.
Later on DIR. Robert Van Deusen,
aquarist of the Fairmont Aquarium in Phil
adelphia, came to Key West to collect fish,
and he, as Mr.. Mowbray had been, enthu-
siastically advocated the construction of an
aquarium in Key West.
DR.. Van Deusen, as well as Mr.. Now
bray, stressed the Importance of the pub
licity Key West would get were first class
aquarium built here.
And now the fervent hope of The Citi-
zen and hundreds of forward-looking resi-
dents of Key West is about to be realized,
thanks to the activity in behalf of an aquar-
ium of the CWA representatives in Key
West
As the aquarium will advertise Key
West, there should be no question whatever
about its name-the Key. West aquarium.
It will be built with public money Civ
en- to the City of Key West, for the purpose
of benefiting this city, and the greatest
benefit that will accrue to the city will be
identifying the aquarium by the name of
Key West

RURAL STORES

Small Town Business Men After Their Share of

Texarkana Ark (UP)-Rural and small town merchants should come in for their share of federal aid, believes E. T. Page. operator of a "country store" at Redwater for 50 years. Page has broached the matter to Jesse H. Jones, k. ". c. head.
 Banks have been aided, and in turn help the 'big fellows" while the Salvation Army and other re. lief agencies help the destitute and unemployed, but what about the '.smalP' merchants, Page argues.
 '.The rural merchant helps the farmer perhaps mroe than the farmer perhaps more than the bank. The store is always closer 10 him than the bank" he said.
 Page added that neither he nor any other ''smalr' merchant could furnish ''adequate security" to which the R. F. c. office referred in a letter to him. Everything we've got is frozen," the merchant declared.

Arctic Independence

Robert Marshall, author of recently published book entitled, Arctic Village" tells of community in the far north which is ''one of the happiest in the world" It has population of l27 persons. composed of whites, Eskimos and Indians. They have learned to get along together with a far greater degree of contentment and inde- pendenee than are found in many communi- ties closer to the supposed attractions of civilization. Everyone in the village has some individual importance, achieved through merely being alive if in no other way. There are ns race prejudice. no un- due amount of wealth or fame, plenty of freedom and the intelligence to enjoy it, says the enthusiastic author.
 He found these things true in spite of the fact that the conditions of life are hard, the winters long and very cold. the short summers plagued with swarms of insects. Everyone works, usually at several different trades These people. the author says, would rather eat beans with liberty, burn candles with independence and mush dogs with adventure than to have the luxury and the restrictions of the outside world.
 And yet there were quarrels in his Arctic Utopia. The author found that in the year he spent among them there were 43 disputes of sufficient importance to change the relationship of those involved for week or more. Most of the trouble occurred in the long winter, particularly in the two months of darkness. Even Utopians. it ap- pears, cannot be happy without sunlight.

of the wet and dry factions. They may be either democrats or republicans. 1t doesn't matter which SO long as they can claim utilization with either of the two groups interested in electing their delegates at the election.
 In Waterbury's case it's two registrars will be permitted to name two representatives from these factions in each of the twenty voting districts. They will act as chal- lengers as voters present themselves at the polling places. That is as much as the wet and dry organizations wanted. They did not claim to have the necessary knowledge in their ranks of the methods of running the voting booths. That duty should only be entrusted to those who have had some such experience in the past. Checking and challenging can be done. though, without previous experience. So alrs well again that ends well.

The will of Mrs Elizabeth Bacon Custer just filed in the Surrogate's Court of New York. should give direct stimulus to the plan for General George Armstrong Gus ter museum near the scene of the famous Custer massacre in Montana. Mrs Custer left many mementoes of Custer's battles with the Indians, which would naturally form the nucleus of the museum. This museum would be built upon the battlefield of the Little Big Horn. Certainly this is an oppor- tunity that can't be ignored. Some organi7 zation should seize it or even Uncle Sam should memorialize an event that is printed deep in the memories of all of us by an ap- propriate museum.
