SWIMMING

SWnAQM
The day was bright and sunny
With balmy sumner breeze
AS the boys went tramping gaily,
Among the budding trees.
Their hearts were light and happy
AS they whistled on their way,
Thinking not of Law or rules
On this fatefu1 sumner day.
By chance, they came upon the lake,
So quiet, so calm and cool,
And so decided to take a dip
Before they vent to school.
Their swim was short and tragic
As they heard an ominous sound,
For who was standing on the bank
But the Law, of Greenbe1t town.
But now they've learned their lesson
And are nishing up in school,
While looking forward to happier days
In the Greenbelt swimming pool.

GERMAN RULE IN ITALY

Before Adolf Hitler's rise to power in
1888, Benito Mussolini was the big noise
in Europe, and talked much about Italy's
destiny as conquering nation But in re-
cent years Hitler has overshadowed Mus
soini, and many believe that Germany
may eventually dominate Italy.
1t may be recalled that German
rulers have been masters of the Italian
peninsula during most of the last 1900
empire was broken to pieces by successive
invasions OF Germanic tribes, and in the
year 800 the greatest of early German
rulers, Charlemagne, was crowned en-
peror by the Pope in Rome.
Then during the existence of the So
called Holy Roman Empire, which con-
tinued with varying degrees of power for
nearly thousand years, the emperors
were German In fact, its official title
was 1.-The Holy Roman Empire of the Ger
man People" These German rulers often
exerted little real authority, however, and
the history of what is now Italy, like that
of most of the rest of Europe, is one of al
most continuous strife and warfare.
After the World War internal condi-
tons in Italy became increasingly des-
perate, and to avert the threat of civil war
King Victor Emmanuel appointed Mus
solini as premier in 1922, believing him to
be the country's strongest leader. Under
Mussolini considerable material progress
was made but whether his alliance with
Hitler will benefit Italy isvery doubtful.
There are indications of the posi-
bility that Italy may once more come un-
der German domination, regardless of the
outcome of the present war.

EVERY AMERICAN CAN BE LOYAL

There is little occasion for American
citizens to lose their tempers over the
presidential contest.
In democracy it is natural for men
and women to differ in their political views
but if democracy is to succeed we must
learn to temper our emotions in spite of
divergent views
There is need, in this country, for
union of purpose, such as has rarely eX-
listed. The nation undoubtedly faces ex-
ternal perls that invite the services of
every American in behalf of his, or her,
country.
Phe great service that you, as citi-
zen, can render your country, between
now and election day, is to resolve that re-
CARELESS of the outcome of the election,
the man selected by the majority of the
people will be your President, regardless
of how you may cast your ballot.
After all, the majority of the people
have right to name the Chief Executive
of a democratic state. minority has no
right to sulk, or to deny the will of the
people.
We have our choice, in the present
election, but as loyal citizen of great
democracy we pledge. here and now, our
full cooperation to the victor in Novem-
Der. He will have difficult task in guild
ing the destiny of this republic.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1940-10-10

The question OF whether or not the
city of Key West is going to benefit from
the publicity attendant upon the "strang-
est of all legal cases" is being banded

of the nation are focused on our city, if
not more so, however, upon the man, Karl
Tanzler Won Cosel, the cause of the pub
icity NOW issuing forth to all newspapers.
Right there, one can see, is where it
can be safely stated that no lasting pub
LEFTY value can be attached to the story of
an aged scientist who kept the remains of
his dead sweetheart in his home for seven
years. Future visitors will perhaps think
of Key West in terms Ooh, yes, this is
where that strange case came to light.
But they will not have been drawn to the
city because of that story.
Strange case or not, however, the fact
remains that Key West is receiving
Large dose" of publicity at the moment.
and who are we to disOwn any Of the facts
surrounding the cause.
AS time goes on and the events of to-
day fade away into dim recOllectiOns, those
drawing cards that will continue to attract
more and more visitors and residents to
our shores will not be of such spectacular
nature They will consist of the we'll
