this objective. It has taken care Of
the people of the community so ef-
fectively that even in the years Of
severe depression there were no calls
upon the Community Chest from that
section.
As the original group contained
representatives Of various faiths, 1t
was decided to make the guild non-
sectarian, although at the present
time money is given regularly to the
Kenilworth Presbyterian Church, and
one Of the first undertakings Of the
group was to assist this church in
number of ways. One OF the principal
contributions to the church has been
the bell and the belfry, dedicated in
December Of 1924 as q memorial to
past and present guild members.
The group holds two meetings each
month, with one hour devoted to busi-
ness and one to social purposes. The
present officers are: President, Mrs.
Harry K. Kent; first vice president,
Mrs. J. Warde; second vice president,

WASHINGTON VOTES

Recently the residents of the City of
sound sentiment for the official ballot
which is denied them under existing law.
More than $4,000 out of the total popula-
ton of about 637. 900 cast their straw bal
lots on two propositions: The right to vote
for President and members of Congress;
the right to local self government.
Both proposals carried overwhelming
ly, the first by 13 to l. the second by 8 to
/. Pathfinder, published in the national
capital, suggests that the difference in the
vote on the two questions was because many
did not desire to bring the large Negro
population into the local political picture.
About one-third of the city's inhabitants
are Negroes.
Residents of Washington have not
voted for President since the national
capital was established there in 1900, nor
for local officials since 1874. The city, of
ficially designated as the District of Column
bia, is governed by Congress as to legisla-
ton, and by executive commissioners APP
pointed by the President.
Many persons holding government
positions in Washington retain their voting
rights in the states from which they came.
But permanent residents of the city, who
pay taxes as citizens elsewhere do, think
they should also be allowed to vote. And
why not2
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1938-06-07
TIME TO BURY THE RATCHET

Right or wrong, for better or for
worse, the members of the city council, the
mayor and all other municipal officials
should end the civil war that had been rag
ing among them and get busy CT some con-
structive work for the benefit of the entire
city of Key West.
At all times The Citizen has maintain
ed a 1hands-off policy insofar as our local
political campaigns are concerned. We
feel that the people usually can be trusted
to elect men competent to handle our NUM-
cipal affairs and we have not attempted to
tell them who they should put in office.
Once our officials are elected, however, we
look to them to serve our best interests.
The Citizen does not believe that our
city officials are serving the city's best in
terests by raking up old political ashes and
given widespread publicity. They tend to
create the impression in other sections of
the state that Key West is a house divided.
1t is bad publicity that overshadows the
better kind being broadcast by the Over
seas Highway Celebration Committee and
detracts from the effort to attract large
crowd here for the July "a fiesta.
There are more important things to
be done. Our streets need to be cleaned, the
health laws should be invoked to force in
different property owners and household
ers to clean their yards, the mosquito men,
ace should be studied and attacked, our
trees and tropical flora should be protected
against the ravages of disease and wanton
individuals ways and means must be work
ed out to pay our policemen, firemen and
other city employees. We could go on and
on naming things that should be done.
The point is that such affairs are be-
ing neglected. Key West is looking to her
city officials for action in solving many
pressing problems. 1t is not fitting that our
municipal government should be torn by
internal strife when cooperation of the
highest and most sincere type is needed to
steer our little ship of state through the
troubled waters ahead of us. Gentlemen
cooperate for Key West, forgetting the
past and looking to the future
