AID IN SUFFRAGE
POLL IS PLEDGED
Cathedral Heights Cleveland
Park Citizen Group
Hears Vote Plans.

Cooperation with the District Suf-
frage Association in its 'plebiscite"
on April 80 was pledged by the Ca
thedral Heights Park Citi-
zens' Association at its meeting last
night in St. Adams parish hall.
Mrs. Clara Wright Smith, member
of the Suffrage Association, explained
to the group that polls would be set
up in public schools throughout the
city but no time for the voting had
been decided upon. The purpose of
the vote. Mrs. Smith explained, is to
determine the sentiment of District
citizens for government of its own
without necessitating a Constitutional
amendment, aiding the fight for ma
tional representation
The group approved a motion pre-
sented by F. v. Hale, instructing the
secretary to write the Capital Transit
Co. urging the replacement of a street
car stop for northbound cars at the
intersection of Wisconsin avenue and
Garfield street.
Mrs. A. Patricia Morss, chief Child
Welfare Division of the District, spoke
briefly outlining the functions of her

PUBLIC SCHOOLS GREAT ASSET

The present school season offers the
young people of Monroe County an oppor-
tunity to acquire a training that has proved
It's value by all the experience of the race.
Pupils of schools in this county should
not expect education to work miracles.
1t does not. The miracle is the result of
the effort of the pupil, who gains in power
and efficiency by the process of learning
what the schools teach.
Education is product of intelligence
and experience and pupils have before
them the prospect of increasing their in
telligence by diligent application to their
studies. They should not forget that the
facts and principles which they master,
and make their own. serve the mind as a
hammer serves a carpenter.
Intelligence helps mankind to do any
thing better 1t does not make men or
women better in the moral sense, neces-
sarily, although it often shows them how
foolish some acts are. Behind the inteili-
gence that one acquires there is a guiding
spirit within the individual, which deter
mines whether the intelligence-tool is wise
ly used.
The Citizen urges all pupils in this
community TO persevere in their school
work with the determination to take ad-
vantage OF the opportunity that is there.
Our public schools are great assets to our
democratic people. affording children
chances that have not always belonged to
all in equal proportion,

PARK OBJECTIONS AIRED

Timely indeed was the appearance
here Sunday of George o. Palmer, execu-
tive secretary of the Everglades National
Park Association, Inc, which is concern
ing itself with the establishment of ma
tional park in the Everglades under the eff
ficient direction of the National Park Serv-
ice. In the area to be included within the
Everglades National Park is all of the
mainland portion and some of the Key
Largo section of Monroe county.
The reason why the lands now within
Monroe county would be placed in the
Everglades National Park area is that some
of the most beautiful and most interesting
bay bottoms of South Florida would be
thrown in for good measure. In the opinion
of officials of the National Park Service
Everglades National Park would not be
complete without those bay bottoms-and
the bay bottoms are the source of most of
Monroe's commercial fish supply and the
scene of much of the sport fishing activity
in this locality.
1t seems there are three reasons, pos
sibly four, why inclusion of any part of the
key section of Monroe county in the park
area is being opposed:
/. Commercial fishermen might be
deprived of an opportunity to fish the bay
bottoms of the county if the National Park
Service was placed in control of them.
2. Sponge fishermen of Key West
would be driven out of Florida bay if the
National Park Service had control of all
fishing operations.
3. Monroe county would lose large
volume of taxes because it would be forced
to give up the major part of it's productive
area on Key Largo.
In regard to the first two objections,
the meeting at La Concha hotel Sunday
night brought out that the fishermen and
the fishing industry can be protected fully
by incorporation in the deed of gift of Mon
roe lands of covenant to the effect the
fishing regulations would be such, and
only such, as were provided by the laws of
the state of Florida"
Regarding the loss of taxes, no answer
to that question was Immediately forth
coming. However, the records do not re-
veal that the upper keys ever paid large
volume of taxes. Those that have been as
sessed are largely in arrears and those that
may be assessed in the future will be of
problematical volume. Further, the map
showing the proposed Everglades Park
area does not include the most productive
property on the keys.
1t is up to the people of Monroe county
to decide whether they want part of their
county included in the Everglades Ma
tional Park area. Against all objections is
the fact a national park is always an OBJ
jective for the majority of tourists and that
park extending down the keys would be
help in attracting visitors to Key West.
Careful consideration should be given the
facts, so that an early decision may be
reached one way or another.

Under present plans Congress

quate supply of necessary prod

Government to the open Door"

doubt if any responsible official

arisen in the Far East and that
other nations should amend their
views in harmony with the pres

Key West will be the starting
point for the international speed
boat races to be held at Havana,
C. Elwood Dillon, of the Dillon
Organization, promoters of the
event, officially announced today.
The events will be in March. The
contests will include races of all
classes competing for the richest
prizes ever offered for such
events. The trophy values will
exceed $25, 1000, and more than
100 boats from all parts of the
globe are already entered in the
lists for the great regatta. Three
cup races between Key West and
Havana will be the outstanding
features of the international Sc
ries and practically all the con-
tests will start from this port,
MIR. Dillon shows, and says that
more than 800 of the finest speed
boats and yachts in the world
will be berthed in Key West har-
/ Dor for several weeks in connec-
ton with the races, which is a
speed competition of nations. The
printing and warming-up and
practice races will take place in
Key West waters and three of
the largest. events will start from
this port. That Key West will be
headquarters for this great series
of Speedboat races is assured and
there can be no changes in plans,
Mr.. Dillon stated today after con-
ferences with county, city and
commercial officials and the Ro-
tary Club. He will remain in
Key West until Monday in the in
terest of the proposition and will
be on Sunday joined by Mr. Trai-
nor, publicity director of the big
racing meet, formerly with The
Associated News. Mr.. Dillon will
then go to Havana to make ar
engagements and Mr.. Trainor will
remain in Key West until March
doing his publicity work here.

THE BEGGAR
Approaching me there was one
day
A figure stopped and wan.
He was the picture of distress
A lack of love was plain.
There was a voice inside which
said,
How can you go your way
You, who have friends and Joy
and wealth?
Stop, and his fears allay".
My burdens were a weight be-
fore,
The journey cold and long;
But when offered aid to Him
My heart burst into song.
His thinning form was changed
at once
Into angelic grace.
The ground He trod TRANSPORTED
was
Into a heavenly place.
My faith was tested to the end.
Our God had once advised,
That blest would be the ones who
knew
Him as a tramp disguised.
