DID YOU?
a whole.

Did you ever watch slender girl
perform on the trapeze, high above your
head, and say to yourself, 'she can't get
hurt" as she went through her routine?
Well, once in while, they do get
hurt. The other day a 20-year-old girl,
concluding an iron jaw stunt, holding on
by her teeth as she swiftly whirled, sud-
denly fell sixty feet. Doctors say she will
die
Maybe, you have visited some great
city and gazed with establishment at some
huge bridge or towering building without
thinking of the human beings who gave
up their lives in the process of construc-
ton. If you thought about the victims
you probably wondered why these people
take such risks for the sake of making a
living.
After all these thoughts about the
casual way foolish people face death for
money, have you gotten in your auto
mobile, without thinking, and driven the
car at sixty miles an hour to get nowhere
at no particular time? Have you ever
taken few drinks, and while bit woozy,
slumped under the steering wheel and
raced to get home and in bed?

GENTLEMEN OF THE BAR

When any business, or profession, or
calling, falls into public disesteem there
is generally some valid underlying reasons
for that unfortunate situation. But it is
also true that usually such a forfeiture of
public confidence is due to the attitude
md actions of small minority of the in
dividuals composing the group concerned.
1t can not be denied that in recent
years, particularly, the legal profession
has to a considerable degree lost caste in
the opinion of large element of our citi-
zenship.
Justly or unjustly, the feeling has
grown that pettifogging and sharp prae-
tice have been too much in evidence, there
by delaying if not entirely defeating the
ends OF justice.
1t is refreshing, then, to note that the
American Bar Association itself is taking
cognizance of this situation, and will move
to correct it. Former President Evans
courageously stated the case to his fellow
lawyers in a candid address, in which he
said:
1T seems better to recognize and
deal with the attitude of the public as it
actually is, and not as we wish it were.
For instance, the public believes that we
harbor and otherwise encourage crooked
lawyers; and we cannot enter convincing
denial of the charge. We have not har-
bored or encouraged them in any direct or
affirmative way, but we do know and the
public knows that we have not tried very
hard to protect the public from the ravages
of unworthy lawyers"
Obviously it is up to the reputable
members of the bar, who are in the vast
majority and have the power to do it, to
clean house whenever and wherever cir
cumstances make such action necessary.
If they do not do it, they have only them
selves to blame if the public shall continue
to look askance at the legal profession az
a whole.

KEY WEST, THE MECCA

Specializing on the number Of cars
that will come to Key West daily once the
bridges are built completing the highway
to the mainland is pastime Key Westers
are induIging in at the present time. The
estimate runs all the way from $50 daily.
At first the influx will be enor-
nous, slowing down as the thousands of
car owners have come and seen, but there
will always be goodly number coming to
see the southernmost city in the United
States and its many attractions. The ride
down to the sea itself will be an expert
ence every car owner in America will de-
sire to make and enjoy the thrill In con
trast let us see what Mexico, where a
through road was recently completed, has
experienced.
According to the Mexican Secretariat
of the Interior, there were listed 1864
visitors to Mexico as tourists in 1882. Two
years later, in 1885, the total was SO, S29,
while it is estimated that during 1886 there
were $4,000.
Now start your figuring and remem-
Der that Mexico is far distant from the
density of population, that the roads are
not too we'll built, that the countryside is
not entirely free from brigandage, and the
expense, on account of the distance, is
necessarily very high.

In former days, when newspapers
were considered more like personal prop
critics, it was the custom at election time
to have a socaIled SLATE" in local cleo
tons. Insofar as The Citizen is concerned,
il has had no slate or favored candidates
since the present publisher acquired the
paper, more than score of years ago, and
time has demonstrated that the policy is
justified The Miami papers in the munich
pal election. just concluded, made public
ayowals that they had abandoned the idea
of a slate. though in one instance the pub
Usher of one of the Miami papers cited the
names of those he would favor with his
vote. Except in national elections news
papers now tend to be non-partisan, and
rightly so.

This column has frequently made ref
erenee TO the chiselers on relief, not only
IN Key West but elsewhere. Cases de-
veloped where it was shown that persons
had two jobs, or several members of the
same family were on relief, or wife was
on relief and the husband had a COM
mercial or government job or vice versa,
but nothing so fragrant as that of Mrs.
Violet Croker of Detroit, Michigan, who
was dropped from relief rolls after she had
bought new spring wardrobe and had
purchased ticket for London to view the
Coronation. The chiseling in Key West is
not on such grand scale; it is rather
picayunish.

EDUCATION in
UNITED STATES

Editor, The Citizen:
The approaching season of bac-
calaareGte and commencement
talks draw our attention to the
educational situation in the Re
public.
The StuGent Army is an in
creasing and mighty one. When
the depression began. nearly s.
100000 boys and girls we're in
the high school.
Compare this with the number,
750, 900, at the, beginn ng Of the
century, and see the mighty
strides we have taken. And, then
as We remember. that by 1880 our
population lad increased more
than one-half, but our high
school students b. eightfold.
In other words, our high school
population grew twelve times as
much as our country's population.
We are glad to read that a
movement is on foot to bring back,
in some form, the "McGuffey
Readers"
Some O.. US have copies of thoss
books in our Libraries still.
In the report of the National
Educational Association" they
speak of restoration or increases
in the salaries of our teachers.
Only a few of the states have
found it necessary to curtail taxes
for schools.
MANY states are Planning larg-
er building programs.
l hope that we shall see a new
and modern building for the color
ed children at the Douglass
School.
A larger minimum sa.ary, and
a longer school year in some plac,
es is planned.
| hope a large city playground
for the colored children will be
available for the hot summer
months.

into line, and asking that free
school books be provided, as in
