JEFF DAVIS MONUMENT

Perhaps the largest and most unique
monument to an ,ill-conceived idea of ma
tional defense in the United States is the
ruins of Fort Jefferson, on one of the is
lands of the Dry Tortugas group lying in
the Gulf of Mexico some 60 miles to the
westward of Key West, Fla.
This massive pile of brick and mortar
was built largely under the direction OF
jefferson Davis, who was secretary of war
in the administration of President Frank
lin Pierce from 1853 to 1857. Four years
after the expiration of his term Davis be-
came president of the Confederacy.
Fort jefferson still ranks as the
largest all-masonry fortification in Am
erica, but was never of the slightest mill
tary value, as it was generally considered
useless even before its completion. 1t is
only fair to say however, that its estaD-
lishment was not initiated by. Jefferson
Davis, as construction was begun in 1916,
before Davis became secretary of war, al
though he favored the project, which was
named for him.
Because of it's remoteness from sourc-
es of material, and its enormous proper
tons. the cost of Fort Jefferson was ire
mendous 1t was used as a Federal prison
during and after the Civil War, and there

absentee votes were cast when normally
not more than 100 absentees cast their

the incumbency of Judge Rogelio Gomez

physically tired, not by the exercise or ex-
ertion involved, but rather through lack
of interest in what they are doing. An
example, going back to childhood is the
case-of the little boy. too tired. to hoe his

a game of football. A boy, or a, man, in
terested in what he is undertaking, for
gets fatigue. Of course, the thing can be
Cverdone, but it is rare" The Citizens

The king of Italy is an inarticulate
parsonage and has little to do except to

doesn't have to worry where the next meal
is coming from, but regardless, being
human, he would rather be king with all
the Worries of kingdom, than a nonen-
tity, playing second fiddle to his powerful
premier.
