TEMPERANCE NEEDED

The eighteenth amendment came into
existence because the American public be-
lieved that no step was too drastic to out
law the evils that had appeared in the
liquor problem. Millions of thinking
American citizens, who were not dry in
the sense of believing it a crime to take a
drink, had seen the power of the saloon
appear in politics, degrading city and state
government, and had watched intrenched
interests successfully violate both the letter
and spirit of the laws that then existed to
control. the sale of liquor.
The eighteenth amendment was re-
pealed by this same thinking public when
it became apparent that the evils existing
before were magnified, rather than les
sened. The ends of temperance were not
served, the gangster came into his glory,
and million-dollar bootleggers became as
politically powerful as their legal pre-
deeessors had in the old days.
Today the American people want tenn
perance. They want the liquor traffic to
be adequately controlled. They will not
again eountenance any Illicit alliance be-
tween government and liquor interests. We
are passing through an experimental
period-and if present laws are in
adequate, other and harsher measures will
be brought into play.
To promote temperanee-which
means the elimination of drunkenness and
lieense-is the duty of every citizen 1t is
likewise the duty of those who make and
sell iquor-in addition. it is simply good
business so far as they are concerned. The
American people are not fanatical either
for or against liquor per sc. They are in
terested in eliminating abuses of the pres
ent as well as of the past, and they intend
to succeed.

KEY WEST AND THE OVERSEAS BRIDGES
miami Friday night

About two years ago publie-spirited citizens
Of Monroe county began to devote their time, labor
and energies in an endeavor to secure funds with
which to construct an overseas highway to Key
West A corporation was formed and the govern
ment was asked for loan to build the bridges
from Matacumbe south.
Monroe county, it must be remembered. had
money from these bonds had gone into the high
ways that traverse the keys in that county Neither
Key West the county were able financially to
undertake the construction of highway that
would open up Americas greatest fishing grounds
and would also prove to be one of the United
States greatest tourist attractions
These philosophical citizens pleaded the
cause throughout Florida and in Washington They
submitted estimates of cost and revised estimates
but the big boys in the capitol couldn't hear
The men Who devoted their time and labor and
their money to this recently resigned The
reason for the resignation simple. They be-
lieved that the government, through the FERA
might be able to build the overseas bridge They
figured that Director Stone should have a free
hand to take the matter up with Washington off
Gals, and they didn't to put anything in the
way Of development that would mean so much
not alone to Key West and Monroe county, but to
Florida and the rest Of the United States.
There is no political significance to the over
seas highway bridges. Their construction would
mean that great new area would be open to
tourists. That resort and commercial fishing
camps would flourish and the citrus fruits for
which the keys are famous could be grown on land
that is now hard to reach.
Florida whole hasn't given much help
to the project. Our large cities and counties and
sections seem too much interested in their own
propositions. In other words. it may be that the
other cities well as individuals, are too self
contained to lend helping hand to something that
viii help them all.
1t is said that Director Stone is interested in
the construction of the highway. He has, through
personal observation viewed both the merits and
the dement's of the proposition He knows that
the present system OF transportation, both rail,
water, and by highway and ferry is an inadequate
system. He knows that motorists have to travel
! nearly eight hours when they drive and go by
ferry, trip that could be made in four hours with
the bridges. He knows that industry in Key West
is practically dead, that naval base it is prac-
tically deserted Therefore, if the quaint and his
torical city is to be given chance to revive ITSELF
it must have something else than weed choppers or
vacant lot cleaners
And somehow, it appears to US that the gov
t eminent should build the bridges not as a means
of employment as gift to the people, but
rather solid investment that viii pay for itself
