KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY
Happenings Here just Ten Years Ago Today As Taken
From TEXTILES OF The Citizen

Karl Brodseick, the young man
reported to have disappeared
from a vessel of the Mallory Lines
while the ship was enroute to
Galveston, after the vessel left
this port on June u, was a native
of Germany and citizen of Bre-
merhaven, it is learned. He had
made application for citizenship
in America, through the office of
the Deputy United States Clerk.
He had shlpned aboard the boat
that night #as wafehman and is
reported TO have been on duty
when he disappeared. The cap
tain of the vessel reported the
man missing upon arrival of the
ship at Galveston, but the man.
ner in which he disappeared is a
mystery. The emergency folding
ladder found trailing from the
ship is believed to denote that he
went overheard from there, but it
cannot be determined what he
was doing there while on watch.
His relatives in Germany have
been notified of his death. The
young man had been in Key West
about six years. He first worked
on the vessels of the coast guard
and later went to work on the
Key West Havana ships.

QUIET CHAMBERLAIN!

France has advised England's
Chamberlain to soft pedal re-
ports of peace in the Spanish war.
The nations newspapers took UP
the story with headlines yester-
day. The rumors continue to-
day, especially the belief that
Chamberlain almost disclosed Sc
cret moves to work for this peace
but that France interviewed. What
sort of pressure these moves"
will be is the point the world is
waiting for. 1t must be collective
action of England, France and
Russia against Germany and
Italy, this action to be what will
amount to bribery, to armed
threats, or other inducements. 1t
seems hardly possible that any
thing short of a declaration of
war would stop the Spanish
struggle.

MORE U. s. MONEY

President Roosevelt said that
business is not as bad as every
one thinks it is and quoted the
new commerce department esti-
mate of the national income of
wage earners, 500, 1000, 000,0 900 this
year, which is $4,000, 900, 900 high
er than last year The American
dollar has not fallen to any new
lows since last year. Where then
is all this wealth? Why do not
workers regularly have as much
as last year? Why is there more
unemployment? These are a few
of the questions which come to
mind Immediately. But the most
amusing question is how can you
have a recession if the country is
earning more money? Some
where the setup is dispropor-
tional.

KEY WEST AT FAIR

Fort Lauderdale is to have a
diorama of the beautifully light
ed New River, lined with yachts,
at the New York Worlds, Fair.
Key West is very comparable to
Fl. Lauderdale in many ways.
Problems of Key West merchants
are very similar to those of
Lauderdale. Both cities are about
the same size. Key West is not
as rich as Fl. Lauderdale, how
ever. Still and all it is missing
a wonderful opportunity to adj
vertise itself by means of the
dioramas. Imagine birds eye
view of the quaint houses on the
green island with miniature ships
moving down a blue Gulf Stream
on one side, and the Gulf of
Mexico tapping the deep, inside
harbor on the other. A shot of
the seven mile bridge of the
Overseas Highway going out to
sea with passing cars is another
striking opportunity.

DEMAND FOR CITY MANAGER

eggs in one basket"
A more modern philosopher has re-
vised this to read, Put all your eggs in one
basket and watch that basket
In the more leisurely days of long ago,
when the church and politics were the
principal diversions Of the average citizen,
time was readily devoted to public affairs
and such activities as the Town Meeting
operated very well.
The pressure Of business and many di-
versions, changed all this Men are no
longer able to give the needed time to pub
lie affairs except such men as could make
a business of it. The professional politi-
elan was more alert to matters that
promised to produce a revenue for him,
than he was to matters of general interest.
Just as Nebraska has found it desir-
able to abolish House and Senate in her
state government and entrust the manage
ment of her affairs to one single body, so
cities have found it desirable to concen-
trate the management Of their affairs into
one executive, a city manager, who could
shirk no responsibility, pass the buck to no
receive directions from no one of the city
commissions whose only control theoretic-
ally at least, over the manager was to dis
u FF'll.NItnIst7 r.. been carried
on, andSeleeted ciE commissions have re-
garded their oath f office. good govern
/ meM bias been the Resut. Where the city
management plan Aas-been abused, as it
has been in Miamiy the results are, if pos
sble, worse than they would have been I'M
der former methods of government.
A city can no more be successfully run
by political methods than business could
be.
The situation is like that of great
corporation which in selecting chief en-
gineer, or an auditor would propose to
give the job to the man who could secure
the most endorsements from everyone in
the plant. The result would almost surely
be that the best solicitor, and not the best
engineer or auditor would get the job with
certain disastrous results.
Here in Key West we are quite frank
to confess to one another that we are ham,
pered because of ties of long standing;
ties of business, marriage, past favors and
other less creditable relations.
There is just one way to overcome
this. Just as a corporation land that is
what the city isl in search of an engineer
would not care where he came from, what
his politics were, nor what social ties he
might have; bnt only require that he be
reliable, capable engineer; so Key West
has got to 60 into the market and employ a
capable, experienced city manager.
True. we have good men here in Key
West, but what good man here in Key
West could say honestly to himself, that
he would manage the city without fear or
favor; that personalities would not enter
into his decisions OF policy.
TO get justice, Key West must have
what the lawyers call a change of venue
Just as a Judge having close relations with
one Of the parties to dispute, would con-
slider it necessary to disqB4lify himself, so
capable men in Key West are disqualified
as managers.
