MONROE COUNTY MAKES PROGRESS

No recent development connected
with the long campaign to secure road
communication with the mainland, has
been more gratifying than the action Of
our Matecumbe neighbors in withdrawing
the petition which The Citizen so earnestly
deprecated last Thursday.
AS soon as the possible detrimental
effect of the petition was made clear to
those engaged in circulating it, they were
prompt to suspend their efforts to center
energy on the restoration of the railroad,
pending the outcome of the work being
done towards the establishment of high
way connection over the viaductS.
This is evidence Of cooperative spirit
that promises we'll for the future of Key
West, and the heartiest approval of The
Citizen, and of all Key West is accorded
those who abated their well-meant efforts
in order that plans we'll under way might
go on to success without interruption.
Following close on the hating of the
petition came the welcome news that the
last detail of the work had been agreed
upon, and the ALLEGATION for funds to build
the bridge had been made and that only
the signature of the President was lacking
to put the order, Full Speed Ahead" in
to effect. 80
The burning OF the Big Pine-No Name
Key bridge is disaster that is robbed of
its ability to dismay us, in the light of the
major significance of the good news from
Washington.
The steady stream Of adversely that
has beset Key West has met with definite
check and we may look for a revival of
courage and enterprise on the part of our
citizens from the least to the greatest.
The return of those cxiled by force of
circumstances from the island they loved,
will set in with ever increasing volume
and we may confidently look forward to
the advent of new enterprise and new
capital to restore Key West to the proud
position she once held.
And, in the better days that are at
last reasonably sure to come to us, our
reighborS in the middle keys will have the
satisfaction of knowing that they were
prompt to remove any hindrance which
their lack of knowledge of the situation
might have created and their cOnsidera-
ton Of our interests will asSuredly result
in their sharing the prosperity which the
highway will carry into their territory on
its way to the Island City.

FLYBLOWING THE CHURCHES

Every once in while you run up on
a citizen of Key West who tries to impress
you with the broadness of his religious
viewpoint by taking few pot shots at the
churches of the nation. The speaker will
tell about helping other human beings in
distress, and exhibit every sign of superior
ity over those who worship in organized
churches in the name of their religion
1t is rather seldom that these takers
realize that without the organized church
es of the past it is highly improbable that
they would know very much about rel-
gion. 1t is worse than that Without the
organized churches of the past it is doubt
full if our present civilization would be
even vaguely as good as it is. The critics
of the church are quite willing to accept
the fruits of its work but they are not al
ways just enough to give credit where it is
due.

FOR CHILD HEALTH

Friday of this week has been set
aside by the President for the observance
of Child Health Day, and extensive eff
forts will be made to encourage the con-
sideration of the health problems of Amer
lean youth.
This important field of study has
been somewhat neglected for many years,
receiving special attention only in the
presence of specific diseases. 1t is high
time that an intelligent people, residing in
a civilized nation, devote themselves seri-
ously to the task of promoting child
health.
Of course, it will be comparatively
easy to make speeches and pass resolu-
tons but if the children are to receive any
particular benefits, some positive action
must be taken. There is little u@e in de-
batting what agency shall be given the
task. The field is wide open and the op-
pOrtunity large enough TO provide ample
activity for the Federal Government, the
State governments, and local units as

Four Times 1929 Peak
Then there is the probability of Gre
dit expansion. The 100000 Of
gold in the United States today theo-
retically can be expanded to a total
available credit of $280,000, 000,0 900.
This figure would compare with an
actual total of $4,000, 100000 of out
standing credit at the 1929 peak. In
other words, we are now facing the
possibility of a credit expansion four
times that of the peak Of the biggest
boom in our history. All that is need
ed to start the credit ball rolling is a
renewal Of confidence among bust
ness men and investors all over the
nation.
Economically, most people feel that
we have made great progress since
1888; politically and socially, they are
not so sure. Rightly or wrongly, GER
tain New Deal measures such as the
corporate surplus tax and the social
security measure have held back bus
mess men. Despite new legislation,
however, sentiment today is far bet
ter than it was in March of 1888. Bus
mess men are doing their best to for
get politics and tend to their own job.
More and more Of them are convinced
that the tide of recovery is running
in so strong that nothing-not even
the campaign or Washington-can
stop it now.
Prosperity Spree.
Our Federal governments loss for
the fiscal year just ended is unpre-
cedented in the peace-time history of
any nation. These deficits cannot go
on indefinitely. Sooner or later peo-
pie will turn to equities, commodities,
plants, real estate and other tangible
items for protection. When this STAN
pede for property and goods really
gets under way, we may enjoy a few
years of great prosperity" Why do I
limit it to a few years? My reason
is that prosperity never lasts unless
it goes hand in hand with righteous
ness. Permanent prosperity cannot Zoe
built on liquor, gambling and dis
regard of God.
