KEY WEST IN
DAYS GONE BY
Happenings Here Just 10 Years
Ago Today AS Taken From
The Files of The Citizen

County Commissioner J. Otto
Kirchheiner won his fight with
the county executive committee
today at Miami. The message is
contained in a telegram received
by The Citizen from Reginald
Pritchard, chairman of the local
executive committee, who at
tended the hearing with Judge j.
Vining Harris as attorney for the
committee. This means that
Judge Rose, before whom the
hearing was held, ruled as The
Citizen predicted he would, that
the committee had no authority
to bar Mr.. Kirchheiner from the
Democratic party, regardless of
what he may or may not have
done at the last general election.
This is in line with a recent rul-
ing by Attorney General Fred
Davis. There has been no time to
determine what the committee
will do, but it is taken for grant
ed locally that it will qualify Mr.
Kirchheiner and permit him u
run in the primary"oi7oil

M. L. R j.: Was my husband
with the girl that 1 thought he was
with on the night of May 18th ?
How long has this been going on?
Ans: Not with her, but an
other. Since you have been mar
ried he has at times made side
steps from the straight and mar
row. However, most of these ven
lures were entirely harmless. His
greatest fault seems to be his un-
ruly temper. He would be less apt
to stray if you could put your own
affairs on a more agreeable basis
G. H. c.: Things look mighty
shakey for me on my job. Will
lose my job?
Ans: Continue to perform the
duties entrusted to you to the very
best of your ability and you will be
able to hold your job. Things have
been shakey for months in your
line of work; however, recent de-
velOpments have brought about a
decided change. You may reason
ably expect further improvements
as time goes by.
B. B. L.: Should write the boy
and tell him what he has done to
me, or should / do what l have
considered doing?
Ans: 1t could do no harm to
write the boy. and acquaint him
with the facts of the case, although
it is problematical whether ne
would be sufficiently interested to
act. In case he does not care to
be bothered you can then do as you
have contemplated. At any rate,
give him a chance to do his part.
. M. j.: Did G. B. mean what he
said, and did l make mistake by
refusing? What must do?
Ans: Yes =. he was sincere

Cab'7et System the Idea
OF President Washington

President Washington practically
created the cabinet system, which
was not provided for in the Con-
stitution, although that document
made provision for the division Of
administrative duties into various
departments, the heads Of which
should be required to make reports
Of the activities Of their depart
ments to the chief executive, notes
a writer In the Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
The administrative branches orig
inally were three-the departments
Of state, treasury and war. Early
in his presidency, Washington In
stituted an advisory council Of the
three department heads. This was
the beginning Of the cabinet meet
ings, which have been held ever
since.
An officer called the attorney gen.
eral was a part Of the government
from the beginning, but he was
originally an adjunct Of the judi
ciary, to be prosecutor for the ma
tional government and counsel to
the President and department heads
on matters Of law. Washington soon
added the attorney general to his
advisory council, but it was not I'M
til 1870 that this officer was made a
cabinet member and the head Of the
department Of justice.
In 1893, incidental to preparations
for war with France, the Navy de-
partment was created separate
from the war department. The post
master general did not become a
cabinet member and head Of a sep
arate department until 1929.
In 1849, a number of offices and
bureaus previously distributed
among the other divisions were
combined into the department Of
the interior. The. department Of az

TroiS Rivieres during the Seven

Opossum Only One Among
Animals That Act Dead

There are actors in the animal
world. What would you think Of a
creature that could act so well that
1t allowed itself to be vigorously
beaten without showing the least
sign Of life?
There have been actual cases re-
corded Of the American opossum
lying low while this was done to
him, and 1t is from the habit Of
this little animal that we get the
term playing 'possum" which is
used when anybody keeps specially
quiet and says muffin" notes a
writer in London Answers Maya
zine.
Many Of the lizards sham death
to get out Of harms way, and toads,
too, not being endowed by nature
for a quick getaway, debate them
selves and assume unnatural
shapes to escape trouble.
The African buffalo is another ex-
perienced actor. Many an unwary
hunter has brought down one of
these magnificent beasts, and with
