ZoNING MOVES FORWARD

Citizens of Key West applauded the
move made yesterday by the City Council
in calling special session to start neces-
sary coming regulation machinery in mo-
ton.
In view of the necessity, the council
acted wisely in making first moves in this
manner in that there is no regular meeting
this week and another weeks delay in set
ting up the machinery may have caused
further confusion in the local situation
that already has brought one coming viola
ton to the attention of our city fathers.
Ferusal of the plans brought up for
consideration at the meeting brings out
highly commendable manner of handling
the future inspection of new construction
of all types in the city. First, of course,
the council confirmed the appointment of
the Zoning Board of Appeals, which now
provides an active agency to which any
and all protests, criticisms and appeals on
questions having to do with the Zoning
ordinance may be presented at stated hear
ings.
now on, in accordance with the first read
ing of the ordinance yesterday, should be
productive of a person able and qualified
to serve in that capacity. There was moth
ing wrong with the previous set-up which
rested inspection control in the office Of
the fire chief. A coming law and enforce
ment of same, however, calls for expert
knowledge of construction details and, at
the outset, ample time in which to study
the ordinance and set-up plans to prevent
future violations.
The Citizen congratulates the council
IN expediting the zoning ordinance. May
its effort to find building Inspector prove
fruitful Congratulations, too, to the
membership of the Board of Appeals for
their fine gesture in volunteering to serve
the city in that capacity.

REDEDICATE YOURSELF ON THE 4TH

The Declaration of independence was
passed by the Continental Congress on
July 4th, 1776, but the historic document
was not actually signed until later
Now, after many years, the people of
the United States appreciate the signific-
ance of the action taken many years ago,
when the delegates of the colonies went on
record in favor of the proposition that all
men 'are endowed with certain inalienable
rights and that "among these are life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
The rights of the individual, so long
accepted by the world, are now under
challenge from those who do not agree
with our famous declaration that govern
ments derive their just powers from the
consent of the governed.
The world of 1910 is far removed
from that of 1776 but, in one respect, there
is little difference. Again the liberty of
men requires courageous action on the
part of liberty-loving people. The rights
of man are being questioned by planes,
guns and motorized equipment upon the
fields of Europe and there is little assur-
anee that the issue will not be joined in
the Western Hemisphere.
In this editorial The Citizen urges all
readers to take time enough to read care
fully the Declaration of Independence.
July 4th, the anniversary of its passage, is
a good day to dedicate to the ceremony.
Afterwards, inspired to support the ideals
of freedom, may we not, as Americans,
pledge to each other our lives, our for
tunes. and our sacred honor.

REPUBLICANS IN THE CABINET

Whatever else may be said about the
appointment of two Republicans to the
Presidents Cabinet is offset by the fact
that Henry L. Stimson and Col. Frank
Knox are men of exceptional abilities, and
will strengthen cabinet which, on the
whole, is regarded in washington as weak.
Mr.. Stimson is undoubtedly one of the
inets since the World War.
The discussion about coalition cab
met is entirely a different matter, on
which Republicans and Democrats violent

healthy thing for the country to find the

York: The Macmillan Co.
Recapitulating the gleanings Of
two centuries of naturaliSts from
the vast southern continent was
quite an ambitious undertaking for
Author Outright, so it is no wonder
that his book falls short of being
satisfactory in the sense of complete
ness. Further than this, though, MI.
Outright presents his material with
diffusion to a degree that precludes
sustained interest in topics nominal
ly of high interest.
Divided into two sections. the book
deals initially with d geographic
sketches of the famed and lesser
famed naturalists, botanists, Zoolo-
gists, ETC., among whom are to be
found Humboldt, Darwin, w. H
Hudson, Schomburgk and numerous
others. The sketches are Illuminating
and terse, although more space
might have been allotted this sec
ton in proportion to that given the
section on the animal life. The Sc
lection of animal species described
by the author, following closely the
eyewitness reports of the explorers,
is suitably representative. Some OF
the more interesting include the
electric eel, the piranha, poisonous
serpents, the manatee and those
legend-provoking vampire bats. The
amateur naturalist should be pleased
