WHATEVER

Having had considerable trou-
BILE with his three dodgers, an
Irishman decided to tell them off
when he saw them in the morn
ing.
"You three are a nice pair, he
said. IF you're going to stop
here you'll have to clear out, for
you didn't come home again last
night until this morning.

DESIRES TO COMMENT
Editor, The Citizen:

Editor, The Citizen:
Your always interesting paper
one of the most interesting for
it's size and position-has had
several articles the past two days
which arouse my desire to COM
ment, and usually my comments
arise out of desire to improve
conditions in this fair city.
The Island City yesterday re-
ferred to the "zoning of popula-
ton. The destiny of Key West,
as l see it, is to become ''The Re
tired Mans Paradise, which is
somewhat different from a Ere
sort" but better on the whole for
the city in general. It will new
er be that until the partial infi[
tration; of colored people into the
most desirable sections has been
cured. 1t can be done, as it was
done in Miami, with benefit to
both colored and white. Each is
happier when not in juxtaposi-
ton to the other Negroes do not
get any CHESTER" over being
made deputies than do whites
it is a matter of individuals and
not color.
Today's editorial-"Let There
Be Light on the
needs for a well-lighted business
district which no one will deny
but to attract and hold here
these self same visitors or tour
lists we need something more
than a white Way"-cleaner
streets (my street is filthy right
now, less maurauding bowling
dogs at night. fewer autos with
out mufflers, fewer horn blowers.
etc., etc., better beaches. These
things should be attended to by
the city authorities and I hope
they will be this season.
The last of my comments has
no application to Key West as a
city-you state and have often
stated, that the world is topsy-
turvy" and that formerly when
business went up the stock mar
ket followed suit" and now with
business improvements nearing
peaks, prices on the stock mar
ket are going down..
You are in error, viz: the mar
ket always acts in advance OF
events Qong trends) and last
September had a violent advance
in anticipation of the business
Improvement which took place in
October and November and which
is now nearing peaks. If the
market is. now going down then
it is anticipating a decline in
business within the next 90 days.
Buying and selling stocks, COM
modities, real estate, anything
not for immediate consumption,
is a speculation" whether called
that, or called an Investment"
One cannot speculate" on what
is known; business is good, let
us say, and one buys and pays a
price based on today's condi-
tions-that is not price specu-
lation-one buys and pays for a
known quantity. The specula-
ton enters as. to the future-the
unknown whether conditions
are to improve or to grow worse.
Despite excessive government
regulation the stock market re-
mains a barometer of business
advances ahead of improvement
and declines in advance of slow
down. Just as the market" for
real estate here will advance-Ie.

1t twill always do its utmost fol-
the public welfare. Such q
policy is comrnendable.
In these days, however, when
there is growing need for bet

lationships, and when the cries
of minority groups are ascend
ing to heaven, we should not
urge anything that may event
ually widen the breach and de-
stroy harmony.
Among the "colored people" OF
this city, there are many who

of the fact that the group has a
large number of its members
who are respectable citizens,

ton for beauty and the higher
things of life, it seems unkind,
and unnecessary for any one to
give publicity to such a broad
statement.
I am willing to admit that
among US there are the ''unde-
sirables", but challenge any one
who is fair minded to support
the idea that all members of 9TH

Chapter X

AS Dawson stared at him incredu-
lousy, John Douglas continued: II
was named for him. He's been miss
ing for years now. We have reason
to believe he Is dead. What has he
to do with this Benthorne murder?"
Just minute, son." Dawson
countered. "Ill ask the questions,
and perhaps answer few, too.
How old would your uncle be II
he were still alive?
Between 10 and go"
"Ummm. And what makes you
think he is dead?"
Il can't tell you all Of that right
now, Captain. can't tell you all
I know about Benthorne. I can't
even tell you why I came here last
night, But If you'll let me talk to
Ara, alone, for few minutes"
What possible reason could
your uncle have supposing he
were alive - to kill Benthorne?"
Douglas shook his head why
name a dead man as a suspect?"
he countered.
Dawson settled bacS m his chair
fished In his wallet for a folded,
wrinkled piece of paper, studied 1t
intently. At last he handed 1t over
to Douglas, saying:
You may as we'll know that
your admission that Big Red Is
your uncle, puts you in even
better spot as the No. / suspect of
Benthorne's murder. Here, read
this"
Douglas read II will be killed
