COMMUNITY COOPERATION

The Citizen urges all citizens of Key
West to adopt an intelligent plan of com.
munity cooperation. This does not in
volve the careless boosting that ignores
facts or the degenerating pessimism that
depreciates everything. 1t merely re-
CURES the citizens of Key West to realize
that the combined efforts of all neighbors
and friends will definitely improve our
town.
One of the necessities is sound bust
ness structure upon which to fest other
ornaments. The trade-at-home policy, as
often outlined in this paper, is cardinal
principle of community loyalty. 1t applies
to sellers as well as to buyers and involves
the use of money for improving Key West
as we'll as spending it within municipal
limits
In addition, our citizens should COM
s,are Key West with other communities
and, if possible, continue our endeavors to
acquire as many advantages as possible.
Moreover an eye should be kept on our
living conditions and social organization
in the hope of securing a fuller life for
those who make their homes here.

A FAMOUS SLAVE CASE

The French people claim with pride
that their country was the first in Europe
to have human slavery declared by a
court to be unlawful.
Denmark was the first European
ration to declare by legislative act that all
human beings on its soil were free. That
was in 1892, and the law took effect ten
years later. But the legal case of John
BOucaux, who was set free by French
court in the time of Louis XIV, came half
century earlier.
Boucaux had been brought to France
from Martinique, in the West Indies, by a
Monsieur de Verdelin, whom the negro
served as a cook. Remarking finally that
he was in free country, Boucaux de-
manded wages. His masters reply was to
have him put in the prison of the Chatelet,
at Paris. Boucaux was liberated after
three days, there being no law to fit his
case, and he thereupon sued his master
for ten years arrears of wages.
Since he came from French colony
the suit had to be heard by the judges of
the Admiralty court, who were compelled
to detain him nearly three months while
they considered what their decision should
be. 1t was victory for Jean Boucaux,
who was declared to have been s'free from
the moment he stepped on French soil and
to be free man from now on

MISSING SHIPS AND MEN

Loss of life by accident or through a
general disaster is somehow more shock
ing to relatives and friends of the victims
than death from disease. This is due, per-
haps, to the suddenness of the bereave-
ment, for which those left behind are un-
prepared.
Most terrible of alle'is the mental
agony of those whose loved ones disappear
without leaving behind anything to in
aicate their exact fate. The history of the
sea is filled with such occurrences, in many
o. which hundreds of lives were lost in a
single disaster.
One of the earliest cases after the de-
velopment of large vessels was that of the
City of Glasgow, bound from Liverpool to
Philadelphia in March, 1854, and never
heard of after sailing. She carried $50
passengers.
Other vessels carrying $50 or more
persons which likewise disappeared with
Tempest in 1857, the City of Boston in
1870, the British training ship Atlanta in
1880, the liner Naronic Qost on her maiden
voyage) in 1898, the Waratah in 1909.
Perhaps the most mysterious dis
appearance at sea was that of the United
States Navy collier Cyclops, of 1880 tons
displacement and carrying 293 men which
left Barbados, West Indies, on March d,
1918, never to be seen again. During the
remainder of the war it was thought that
her crew might have been captured and
imprisoned by the Germans, but at it's close
they declared that their war ships had
never seen the Cyclops
The anxiety, the hopes and fears of
relatives of these 293 men can be better
imagined than described The sea still
keeps its secret.

The meaning of the word usury has
undergone radical change in the course of
time. Once, every kind of interest, the
tiniest profit from the loan of capital, was
branded as usury. According to Luther,
five or six per cert was usury. Florida is
