NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING GAINS

Advertising experts point out that
newspapers are showing gains of around
10 per cent, compared to 1885. Magazine
totals are up about per cent and radio
der last year
While the statistics above cited are
based on daily newspapers, it is apparent
that advertising in the smaller newspapers
OF the nation is increasing This is true of
local advertising, which includes that
originating in the home county of news
paper, and applies to some extent to adj
vertising from other sections.
The Citizen does not compete with
the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune,
and other metropolitan journals in the
way of news coverage and advertisers, but
it is safe to assume that advertisers in
Key West do not wish to cover the mar
kets dominated by the larger newspapers.
However, The Citizen does cover the i'm
mediate area of Key West, where our
business must originate
Advertising rates are based on cir
culation, whether figured for magazines
or daily and weekly newspapers. The eff
fectiveness of advertising depends to
large extent upon the character of the
medium used. Obviously, some news
papers are worth more to merchant than
others because they render better service
to readers, print more news, and are given
greater attention
There are many schemes submitted to
advertisers to replace the use of news
paper space. Key West merchants are
often solicited by promoters who have
something to sell which they say will pro-
duce results. However, in the face of COM
petition from many schemes and devices,
newspaper advertising continues to get
most of the advertisers dollars. Possibly
this is because newspaper advertising is
worth the money when considered as
salesman.

TOLERANCE GROWING

Most informed observers will agree
that i'll recent years growing spirit of
religious tolerance has been manifested III
the world. especially in the United States.
Ii is not unusual to find Protestant.
Catholic and Jewish clergymen appearing
OH the same platform in aid of some
Olthy movement
In recent months representatives of
these three great bodies of religionists
have united in mass meetings and else
where to protest against the persecution of
Jews by the Hitler regime iii Germany.
But an incident hitherto without pre-
cedent occurred in Cincinnati. when Rabbi
James G.. Heller of the Center Temple
Jewish congregation of that city was
elected a director of the Cincinnati and
Hamilton County Y. NJ. c. A. A Jewish
official of a Christian welfare society!
And why not? Rabbi Heller. accord
ing to the Cincinnati Times-Star, "has so
identified himself with the community life
of this city that it is quite impossible for
any unprejudiced observer to compile a list
of its cultural and religious leaders with
out including this distinguished rabbi
Gmong such leaders"
The Ohio Y NJ c. A. organization is
to be congratulated on its religious toler-
ance and good common sense.

take of suppressing them. we would
thereby lay grounds for a suspicion
that there is an element of truth in
their nonsense.
The antidote for all autocratlc and
dictatorial poIsons is found in the con-
stitution. 1t consists of the rights and
privileges that are guaranteed to all
under democratic government. Every

ideas have been discarded il favor of

soul his own?
The constitution guarantees to every
citizen the following: the privilege of
habeGS corpus. the trial of all charges
of crime by Jury: freedom of religious

press: the right of peaceable assembly
and the right to petition the govern

Happenings Here Just 10 Year
Ago Today As Taken From
The Files OF The Citizen

AT a regular meeting of the
board OF county commissioners
last night it was decided TO send
an engineer To survey the route o.
the proposed highway from Poin-
ciana, a town site development on
the east coast o. Monroe county,
TO the nearest point on the Ia
miami Trai.. The survey is 10 be
made at the expense OF the pro-
motors OF the townsite o. Pom

Sunday TO make the survey. The
developing corporation has already
built road TO POinciana and will
construct the thoroughfare en-
tirely through the site OF the city
or town.

There ale people in every community
that object to regulations of all kinds,
whether they relate to driving automobiles,
building houses or other activities relating
to the safety of inhabitants of crowded
areas
The question is often asked in the
mir da Of these citizens whether regulations
and restrictions are not too rigid, whether
trey do not represent an excess zeal for
protection from improbable dangers and
whether the cost of compliance is not too
high.
The question is not being asked by the
families of sixteen men, who were recently
killed when a building, being erected in a
large city. collapsed. These families want
to know why the structure was not safe for
their loved ones. 1t will be the same in
Key West if some serious accident results
from allowing short cuts in complying with
regulations designed to protect the public.

1t is true that the machinery for
making these rights effective does not
always work absolutely perfectly, but
this is certainly not reason for dis
carding the guarantees. In wartime
many of them are arbitrarily sus-
pended. which is another good reason
fer avoiding this particular form of
insanity. 1t is most significant that all
of the agitators who are committed to
a destruction of our government very
much prefer to live in democracy
while singing the praises of auto
cracy. One leading member of this
group was asked. at the close of pub
lie address on his favorite theme.
whether. in view of his opinions. he
would rather live here or under a
certain foreign dictator. His reply was
that as long as we have freedom of
speech and trial by jury. he preferred
to live here.
Nothing could expose more COM
pletely the insincerity of the under
ground work that is going on to de-
stroy the foundations of democracy. It
is impossible for the normal person to
understand the kind of mental and
moral disease that drives such persons
tc their nefarious activity. but we
should realize that il is kind of
disease. Ii would be fatal to put our
emphasis on repression rather than
on minimizing the people through
greater stress on the blessings of lib
erty under the constitution. The cor
rect attitude on freedom of speech is
expressed in a saying attributed to
Voltaire: Il do not agree with any,
thing you say. bu' will defend to the
death your right to say it"
