WHO WILL WIN?

Many are wondering who will win in.
this or that race. That is lot of wasted
time. If one can merely control his
patience for less than three months, then
the definite result can be seen. '-'" ~
Candidates are naturally optimistic
A stranger to the great game of politics
wonders how every man in particular
race can think so surely that he will be
the winner, but one who has dabbled off
and on can understand the optimistic spirit
of the candidate.
Before the votes are counted it might
be we'll to advise the candidates a little,
whether defeated or victorious If you
win, take your success modestly and with
out undue citation. If you lost don't get
sore with your fellowmen and become
human crab the rest of your life.
Regardless of election results, the
probability is that the world will continue
to turn, that the sun will rise and set, and
that the affairs of the human race will
make their usual courses, regardless of in
dividual majorties or minorities.

The Files OF The Citizen

The wedding of Charles E.
Smith and Miss Rebah Blanche
Herrick yesterday afternoon $50
o'clock in the First Methodist
church was one of the most bril-
liant nuptial events of the year in
Key West. The rites which unit
ed the couple in the holy bonds of
wedlock were impressively read by
Rev. L. Munro and the church
presented a scene of beauty in ITS
attractive decorations of ferns,
potted pants and roses, with trim
mings interspersing the tropical
green, forming a delightful pam
Drama of exquisite beauty. After
the marriage an elaborate recep-
ton was held at the home of the
brides mother, Mrs. Blanche Her

the reception the couple were
showered with rice, and felicitate. /

defined cleavage between the two
major parties. On the basis of nation
al policies. it has long been difficult
for thinking person to know wheth-
er he is. or should be. Republican
or Democrat. Much of the criticism
that is aimed at both party platforms
is justified by the fact that each plat
form is devised as an appeal to per-
sons OF widely separated viewpoints.
The result is. inevitably. a straddle
that is inconsistent and unconvincing.
After all. there is only one really
fundamental division between politi-
ca viewpoints. This is the distinction
between conservatism and liberalism
with respect tothe nature and scope of
governmental services and functions.
If we could get genuine national
political alignment on this basis, the
respective platforms would be con-
sistent and the voters would have a
basis of intelligent choice which they
cannot possibly have today. At pres
ent our national elections are far
more likely to turn on the personali-
ties of the candidates thar on the prin-

WAR OF 1912 PENSIONS

The death of Mrs. Lydia Ann Graham
of Brushy Run, w. Va, at the age of 80,
does not mean that the veterans admin
iStration can close it's books on the cost of
the war of 1912.
One widow of a veteran of that war
and one daughter of veteran are still in
receipt of pensions paid on account of
war fought almost a century and a quar-
ter ago, according to the New York Sun.
Mrs. Graham was the widow of Isaac
Graham, who was 70 when he was mar
ried and 81 when he died. Mrs. Graham
was only 30 when she married and only
"A when she became a widow.
A similar case might be imagined of
world-war veteran. Suppose a man&born
in 1895 and married in 1914 at the age off
70, to a woman of 80; suppose, further,
that the woman lives to as ripe ali old age
as Mrs. Graham reached, in that case it is
possible to look forward to the payment
of pensions in 2O41 on account of the
World War.

A BATTLESHIP AT WORK

There are those, including Brother
Arthur Brisbane, the distinguished editor,
who believe that the day of the warship is
past and that aerial squadrons will hence
forth decide battles on the sea.
They may be right but the recent en-
gagement off the shores of Africa indicate
no such development up to the year 1886.
1t seems that the rebels succeeded in land
ing Moroccan troops on the coast of Spain
and that the next day the battleship Jaime,
cruiser and two destroyers, after fighting
off air attacks, proceeded to. Morocco,
raked the rebel strongholds, destroying
ships and raking land batteries and bar
racks.
Newspaper dispatches say the smaller
ships acted as a rear guard while the bat
tleship did the heavy work. The incident
focuses attention on the function of heavy
ships and indicates that the naval heads of
the great powers know what they are do
ing when they put their trust in battle
ships able to take punishment and pass it
out,

DROUGHT VICTIMS AND RELIEF

Estimates that 100000 persons on
farms and in rural communities will re-
quire relief this winter emphasizes the ex-
tent of the drought's effects in many Am
erican States.
To give assistance to so many people
will take a lot of money and the question
is, where will it come from? Accepting
the drought as natural disaster, in the
same sense that cyclones and earthquakes
are natural disasters, presupposes that the
American people, as whole, will want to
extend aid to the victims of the tragic dry
spell.
We are not much concerned with the
source of the money. Whether it comes
from the Federal government, as strong
central government able to care for it's af-
flicted people, or whether it comes from
the treasures of individual States, guard
ing their rights and assuming their bur-
dens, is not matter of much concern to
us. What is important is that undue suf-
ferng be avoided and that families be
aided to pull through an era of misfor
tune.

party, like its predecessors in earlier
periods of depression. is temporary
capitalization of discomfort. 1t is not
concerned with the fundamentals Of
statecraft nor with the essentials of
good public administration. It repre-
sents curious utilization of persons
and Interests whose passing popular
ity Is due to the large promises they
have made.
The worst aspect of miscellaneous
political parties is that they represent,
invariably. some demand for special
favors or benefits from government.
Thus, a farmers party. if successful,
would operate government for the
benefit of agriculture: labor party
would serve the interests of labor: a
teachers party would legislate pri-
marily for teachers; and communist
party would run things for the bene-
fit of communists.
All Of this is totally inconsistent
with the purposes of a democratic
government. All sorts of persons, fol-
lowing all sorts of occupations, make
up the state. Its paramount duty is
the equitable administration of pub.
lie services for the common benefW
of all. When the people begin to or.
ganize political parties made up of
special groups and seek in this way to
capture the supreme power of gov
eminent with the avowed purpose Of
exercising its favors-and its penal
tieS-in the special interest of par
ticular groups. they are striking a
body blow at democracy. There can
be no dictatorship of the proletariat,
or of the farmers, or Of the laborers.
or of persons over IS years OF age, in
a free country. '= n01in n
The answer Is, therefore, that we
do not need any third" parties. Aged
dependents will be taken CARGO with
out organizing new party. They have
no rights or claims to the product of
society that are superior to the claims
of youth and the middle-aged. No
other special group has an exclusive
claim to the powers. and the benefits.
of government. To assert otherwise is
to deny the whole foundation upon
which the American scheme Of GOV
eminent is built.

Two Minute Sermon
(By Thomas HastWelD

THE GOLDEN KEY: l believe
the question of prayer is one with
which a great many people have
difficulty and one which many
never really satisfactorily settle.
They never achieve the result
that is intended, namely, that of
making prayer useful, usable,
helpful thing in their lives. In
times Of stress and doubt and dis
couragement it is of no value to
them. 1t has no reassuring effect.
1t brings no calm, no response, no
sense of harmony. Some go
through the form but never ex-
perience any of the practical re-
suits. Many in such a situation
make a sincere effort to make this
adjustment and never succeed.
They go through life and come to
the end never having known what
communion with God is. | will not
attempt to say where the 1auit lies,
whether it is their own, or whether
it is due to improper early TAIN
ing and environment. | would not
presume to criticize them or con-
denim them for their lack in this
particular, because | believe IN
the majority of instances they are
keenly conscious of the VOID III
their lives. | have nothing but
sympathy for the unsatisfied hun
ger that is always theirs. l be-
lieve many think they have achlev-
ed this relationship with God in
reality have never known it. To
me the individual who processes 10
believe implicitly in prayer and
who habitua!ly resorts to it, yet
who lives in a world Of fear and
doubt and apprehension and dis
tress, has never found the golden
key. I do not believe fear and
doubt and distrust and appreren-
sion and faith can live together.
To me this group is as much in
need of sympathy and charity as
the other. The individual who has
achieved the art of helpful, salts
flying, faith building prayer has
found the golden key for trlum
phant and harmonious life.
