The Murphy law will be in effect only until
June 9, 1889. So, if your property is delinquent
on that date, you will lose it irrevocably.
AS the law now stands absolute title to every
piece of state -.--.-t 1 Florida vests in
the internal Improvement board, and former
owners win be prohibited from even making a
protest in court.
II you are inclined to think this is rather
drastic, we call your attention to the fact that for
two years property owners have been given an
opportunity to clear up all delinquent taxes at
\ 5fattically their own price.
If the legislature lives up to its word as it is
aEticaily sure to do this time it is going to be
just too bad for those who slept on their rights
and lost their homes, orIosher property, which
they could have retained tile TO at very small
cost 60
You have nearly nine months to protect your
self if you are delinquent, but our advice is get
busy now. Don't wait till after the ship has
sailed.

HIGHWAYS ARE FOR TRAFFIC

Except when politicians get together
particular to give "the boys" some soft
jobs, highways are built for only one pur-
pose That is to handle the flow of traffic
between cities or to some special point of
interest. Along the Florida skegs thesn1ain
highway, serves another 6nl.pos Is issss
tensively used for fishing purposes SIS
The Citizen doesn't blame til e fisher
men. Our staff members like to fish as.
well as thousands of other citizens. Fisher
men coming from the mainland or going
up the keys from Key West provide large
volume of income for the state in the form
of gasoline taxes and for the Overseas
Highway District in the form of tolls.
Fishermen buy considerable equipment and
bait, employ guides and are generally
pretty liberal with their funds when on
fishing excursion. They should be pro-
vided with every facility to follow the
sport. In time the highway will be lined
with fishing camps, the bridges with plat
forms out of the line of traffic.
Fishing should not be allowed on the
wooden bridges. They are only 16 feet
wide, barely wide enough to allow two
motor vehicles to pass. Place several
fishermen in the middle of one of the
wSsdSn bridges and the traffic situation
alSGoffles exceedingly hazardous. The
fishermen are in danger and in turn en-
danger motorists On the Card Sound
bridge are signs prominently displayed
and pointedly prohibit fishing. Go up
there any Sunday and you'll find anywhere
from 20 to 100 fishermen on that bridge.
Bait boxes, rods, poles, equipment of all
kinds and dead fish are strewn from end
to end of the bridge. 1t is dangerous to
drive across and impossible to pass another
car at some points without injuring the
fishermen.
That stretch of the highway is under
control of the State Highway Department.
The Citizen. recommends in the interest of
safety to motorists and fishermen that the
department proceed at once with con-
struction of proper fishing platforms out
side the roadway ard then strictly enforce
the law prohibiting fishing on the wooden
bridges. Continued neglect in this matter
will surely result in some serious, if not
fatal, accidents during the coming season.

the Allies needed was financial

Will the future Repeat Our 1914 Course?

a question whether the, United
States could get sufficient man
power into France TO prevent the
Germans fronltwinnifg the war.
f.oGH17rfe4F -+fffg-7 "A Busy
The DEVELOPMENT of !, public
opinion in this country between
1914 and 1917 was from actual
neutrality to a limited participa-
ton in the war abroad. Shortly
thereafter, the same public opin-
ion supported the use of every
nation energy to win the war to
make the world safe for democ-
racy. Once involved, the nation
went into the struggle without
reserve.
This resume of past events is
given in order that the readers
may have no misunderstanding of
what will happen in the future if
the United States fails to be alb
solutely neutral in regard to any
war in Europe. In view of the
fact that public opinion in this
country is already overwhelm-
ingly on the side of the denf62
.cratieipowers, this will be a hard
thing To- do. If any war continues
for asaong period in Europe,
there; will be the same repetition
of events, the gradual change of
public opinion under the influ-
ence of partisanship, and the
gradual development of Ameri-
can interests in the warfare
abroad.

When we come to the thought
of participation in a war in Eu-
rope there is no difference in the
state of public opinion that exists
today and that which existed
years ago. The people of this
country today, just like in 1914,
want no war. They have given
more thought and study to the
methods of avoiding entangle-
ment than they had when the
previous war began. They are
willing now, apparently, as they
were in 1914, to forego material
gains from war trade in the hope
of remaining at peace.

Use CHRISTMAS
SEALS ON MAIL
GOING ABROAD
Appeal Is Made BY Presi-

culoss Association.

BE sure to put Christmas Seals

This appeal is made by Harry G.
Watson, President of the Alaska
tuberculosis Association.
I'm over 40 countries Christmas
Seals are sold to raise funds for
anti-tuberculosis work, and we are
especially anxious that mail from
Alaska bears evidence that we are
participating in the work here"
The idea for using a penny stick
en- to raise money for hospital for
children ill with tuberculosis was
originated by Einar Holboll, a post
al clerk in Denmark. The first sale
was in 1904 and the stamps became
Immediately popular in that coun-
try. Sweden followed suit and Bel
GUM. Holland and Switzerland soon
adopted the idea.
In 1907 Miss Emily Bissell tried
out the idea in the United States
The following year the Christmas
Seal Sale became nationwide and
each succeeding year has proven its
value as a Embarrassing device to
support the tuberculosis campaign.
In Alaska the first Seal Sale was
held in 1884. Each year more per-
sons buy Christmas Seals. The
money has been used to increase
the tuberculosis work done in the
Territory. Portable X-ray equip
ment purchased has made it pos
sible to examine and X-ray persons
in the more remote parts of the
Territory.
