to the youthful, but vigorous Unit
ed Government Employees Of
Washington, D. c., Edgar 6. Brown
president, for the successful conf
pletion of their 1888 wage increase
fight which resulted in $250,000
being added to salaries of some
5000 low-paid federal workers, Civ
ing each $50 more a year to save
or spend. Last year it was $780,
900 for 1000, and this year it is
$3.50, 900 for 5000 workers.
The UGE has just issued a book
let reproducing the official record
of the 18th congress which tells the
story of the wage increase fight,
step by step. 1t is interesting to
noto the strategy of the UGE off
cials in making friends in both the
Lower and Upper House. The en-
%ganization lists, the Committee OF
Appropriations of the Senate as its
friends. Senator Glass of Virginia
is chairman of this Committee, and
some of the mebers are Mcclellan of
Tennessee, Copeland of New York,
Hayden Of Arizona, Thomas of Ok
lahoma, McCarran of Nevada,
O'Mahoney of Wyoming, and
McAdoo of California.
On the House Appropriations
Committee are friends like Edward
Taylor of Colorado, chairman; Jed
johnson of Oklahoma, John e.
Dockweiler of California, and EN-
met 0'Neal of Kentucky.
It's heartening to see an organiza
tion, only two years old, have $3.50,
900 in wage increases to its credit,
giving SIS a month to five thousand
people. 1t shows what is possible in
this day and age, in realms where
opportunity might be thought not
to exist.

ONE WAY TO LIVE LONGER

DR.. William H. Holden recently re-
turned to the United States after a six
months expedition into British Guiana and
Brazil. For two months. in the Amazon
watershed, he lived with the so-called
white" Indians. Dr. Holden comes back to
civilization convinced that many of our dis
eases are caused by emotional strain and
worry. The Indians he says, live according
to the laws of nature and are free from high
blood pressure, cancer and other diseases.
Many of them, he reports tlive to be more
than one hundred years old.
Taking it fer.grantsh 4hat9me e nsid-
ers il desirable to escape high blood pres
sure, cancer and other diseases and that it
is good thing to live to ripe, old age,
the question is what, if ahyti6hgs shall we
do with the information brought to us by
DR.. Holden? Certainly, no one expects civil
lied communities TO go native and give up
the conveniences which have come to them
through the past progress of advanced hui
man beings. Are we then to pass up the
hints contained in the report about the
white" Indians?
What civilized people should do, it
seems to us, Is to pay some attention to the
state of their emotions thus seeking to
avoid the strain and worry that takes an
undoubted toll. We have a tendency to live
emotionally, taking LIES hurdles in
hurry, regardless of consequences. We
should seek to establish a mental equilib-
rum through the discovery and adoption
of a philosophy of life The discovery
ought TO be easy-such a philosophy has
been in the world for nearly two thousand
years. All that remains for as to do is to
adopt Il in our personal existence.

BEGINNING TO FUNCTION


Our civic organizations are beginning
to function in an effective way. They are
seeing eye to eye with one another when it
comes to question of supporting projects
helpful to Monroe County and Key West.
They are sponsoring or backing every type
of civic project from Boy Scouting to pro-
grams looking to extension of the Overseas
Highway from Big Pine Key to Key West
via the old F. E. c. railroad right of way
and bridges.
Now, right at this minute, they have
an opportunity to do another worthwhile
thing for Key West and the citizens of the
county. The Overseas Highway Celebra-
ton Committee is finding it difficult to
raise funds with which to finance the COM
prehensive program either arranged or pro-
jected In fact, it is reported that some of
the events may have to be curtailed or en-
tirely eliminated unless additional money
is not soon forthcoming.
1t is obvious that the expenses must be
met if the celebration is to be a success and
if the city and county are to reap the full
measure of benefit from the affair. The
committee cannot meet and entertain the
personal Representatives of President
Roosevelt and the Presidents 81 CUBA and
Mexico; cannot run an inter city baseball
tournament, ,cQndust,3 Regatta, ~ goN
tournament, provide suitable fFeNorkE
decorate the city, publicize the egeht and
the city of Key West and handle the other
thousand and one operations, such as pag-
cart, without good hard cash. For the most
Of these events the money must be laid on
the line when the goods or services are
delivered.
The Citizen feels that every public
and civic group in the county should get
together at once to render every assistance
to the celebration committee. This is no
time for personalities or other sideline ac-
tivities that retard action and hinder com
pletion of the celebration program on a
large and proper scale.
Key West would suffer grievously if
this celebration didn't go over with bang
Travelling statesmen reaching the city have
told US this week that about every finan-
cially able person in Florida is coming Key
Westward during the period of the cele-
bration. This city must not let these visitors
down. We must have fine Fiesta. To fail
in this would give us a black eye from
which we would never recover.

the fact that fires are not profit

she win not be too long about it.

WLDLIFE IN THE KEYS

Nv Z. M. M.

FIRE
1t is a curious fact that Ameri-
cans are so surrounded by laws
covering every conceivable con-
tingency, that the average citizen
has lost all sense of responsibility
where the general welfare of his
community is concerned. Instead
of taking a personal interest in
what goes on, he is too prone to
indulge in destructive and, some
times, vicious activities until he
is stopped by legal means. In
others words, he looks upon the
various law enforcement bodies
as being entirely responsible for
curtailing undesirable practices,
while he, himself, has no inter
est in what the other man is nsi3
to do. This viewpoint was exem-
plified recently in a newspaper
editorial, in which the writer dis.
cussed the decadent condition Of
society in its relation to crime.
After drawing a dark picture Of
the social body, with its unheai-
thy ambitions, its disregard for
Christian ethics and its warped
thinking, he went on to say that
the educator. the psychologist,
etc. In other words, you can learn
nothing until an Instructor comes
along; you cannot think profit
ably until you are taken in hand
by a psychologist; for yourself
you can do nothing. It is this sort
Iof shallow thinking which is re-
sponsible for much of the destrue-I
ton of the natural resources of
the country. Each man thinks
that it is no affair of his. It is the
duty of the State TO attend Ito
