FAILINcs OF THE GREAT

1t has become quite common of late
for authors and critics to dig into the pri-
vate lives of great men, with view to ex-
posing their human frailties. There can
be no particular objection to this, so long
as it is not attempted to belittle the serv-
ice these men have rendered to mankind.
Every man and woman has certain
defects of character, and this has always
been so. 1t is further fact that some of
those who have contributed most to civil
ization have been guilty of moral offenses
which would be sternly condemned to-
day.
As a matter of history, many of the
worlds greatest leaders have led repre-
hensible private lives, as measured by COM
monty accepted standards. 1t even may be
asserted that in the case of the very high
est types of genius this has been the rule
rather than the exception. 4
But in estimating the permanent place
which should be accorded these men in the
esteem of the world, only the service which
they rendered to humanity should be con-
sidered A recent writer well expresses
this idea, thus: aos5 s
Every leader must be tested not by
his private conduct, but by his public be-
havior. Did he serve well his day and
generation? If he did, all else will be for
given and forgotten

The question Of national defense
should be interesting to every citizen Of
Key West because there are few sensible
people in the world today who fail to
realize the vital necessity of nation be-
ing adequately prepared for contingencies
that may be reasonably expected to be pos
sible.
To suggest that war between the
United States and foreign nation is an
impossibility is foolish. Consequently, war
being possible, the nation should under
take to prepare itself. without hysteria and
militaristic fervor, and, in its preparations.
cognizance should be taken of possible in
ternal difficulties that might, some day, re-
quire the use of stern discipline.
To these conclusions there may arise
doubt but the answers are to be found in
the history of other peoples. While we
have no idea that war is near at hand. and
no notion of the nation that might engage
US, the experience of the world demon
strates the wisdom of possessing the
ability to protect oneself
Again. while we have not the faintest
mixing that there will be internal difficulty
of a serious nature in the United States for
many years to come, the history of the past
suggests the possibility of such an occur
renee and if we are to profit from the ex-
perience of other nations we should take
this factor into account when we. consider
the military. naval and aerial needs Of the
United States lsis ssiea
Of course, it is easy for the war ex-
perts to show US the need of an immense
army, backed by an industrial organiza-
ton of great detail, to point out the neces-
sity for vast navy that will stand-off
every possible combination, to stress the
building of second-line coast defenses
everywhere and to elaborate upon the inn
possibility of possessing enough airplanes
to bomb others and prevent them from
bombing US. What the people of the coun-
try are interested in, however, is a sane
program of national defense that will not
attempt to attain strategic perfection in
every detail of subordinate national life to
the war state.

A REASONABLE EDITOR

After all is said and done, it must be
admitted that the average small town
editor is reasonable He will agree to al
most any proposition which seems fair. He
will even suggest several propositions and
let the other fellow take his choice
This obliging attitude is well illus
trated by recent item in Kansas news
paper, which says:
Anyone owing this paper is request
ed to call and pay at once. Anyone not
owing is requested to call and subscribe
and begin owing US at once. Anyone we
