The rains of the past few days will
produce large crop of mosquitoes. A
suggestion to one of the local govern
mental agencies is that squad be sent
out each day with cans of oil to pour over
the troubled waters and eliminate the
pesky critters. This would be more bene-
fetal to the community than have men on
relief pulling up weeds.

A recent visitor in The Citizen office
commenting on the failure of so many of
the local business men to advertise their
wares, made the prophetic statement that
when the bridges are built and more pro-
gressive merchants locate in Key West,
the shOrt-sighted merchants will have to
adopt modern craftsmanship through adj
vertSing or suffer the consequences. Per
hapS then it will be too late.

POLLUTION OF THE BALLOT

The one thing in our recent election
upon which all classes and all partisans
seem willing to come to unanimous agree
ment, is that there were few efforts spared
to pollute our system of government at the
fountain head-the ballot box.
Key West needs no adverse publicity
but she is receiving it in full measure as the
journals of the state jeer at the picture we
are presenting.
Zone per cent of the states popula-
tion," they say, land ten per cent of the
number of absentee ballots are cast in Key
West"
The time for smiling tolerantly at
smart practices" aimed at baking the
will of the electorate has passed.
The man who sells the design of a
battle ship to an alien government, is less
dangerous rascal than the procurer of H.
legal votes.
The corruption of our electoral system
Is at once the most despiccable and the
most cOwardly form of treason
We must recognize this treachery for
what it is. The man who has manipulated"
an election has no place among decent
citizens. SO long as the man who places him
self under suspicion of being guilty of such
treachcry can hold his head high among
us, be received on equal terms in church,
lodge, social or business circles, we are
failing in our duty to our country
He may be a genial neighbor, a man
distinguished for his gentlemanly be-
haviour. Benedict Arnold was all of these,
but his name has been anathema for more
than century; and he was no more cul-
pable than the sneak-thief who falsifies
the election returns.
Democracy, the world over is being
put on the defensive These are not peace
times and the ship of state holds difficult
course amid swirling currents There is one
treatment for the diSloyal in times of peace
and quite another procedure when the
Nation is in peril.
Whether it be the theft of some petty
local office, or the wholesale purchase of
a block of votes by someone in con-
troll of patronage at the Nations capital
the assault on the life-principal of the
United States Of America is equally crimi-
nal and must be treated as such if we are
to remain, "a government of the people,
for the people and by the people"
That this erd might be attained,
rivers of blood, of tears, of sacrifice have
been offered up that this country might
remain a "land of liberty"
All this offering has been a vain obla-
ton if we have not the integrity to rend
with fierce Indignation the swine who
would pollute the temple Of Liberty for
their OWL Sordid purposes.
We would have short shifts for the man
who would purlOin our personal property.
The man who by Skulldruggery rubS our
ballot of its dearly purchased power to
safeguard our interests. merits far sterner
treatment than we accord the thief of mere
property. :
Let us teach our children to regard as
the prostitutes they are, the men who
would make of our elections mockery.
And let us set our children the example.
The sarctity of the ballot must be pre-
served at all costs!
