APPRECIATES THE UNITED STATES

The other day newspaper organlza-
ton incurred of certain Americans re-
garding their attitude to proposed ques-
tions contained in the census schedule.
Some of the citizens quoted were very
much against giving private information to
the government but Marlene Dietrich, film
actress, seems to have had an idea when
she declared:
I'm so proud of my new American
citizenship that I'm glad to comply with
all the laws in this most reasonable of all
nations"
Many Americans have forgotten this
simple truth The same idea was excel
lently illustrated in a recent cartoon by
Herblock, which appeared in a number of
newspapers.
Cartoonist Herblock pictured some
well-fed and opulent gentlemen paying
their income tax, with one remarking,
boy, compared to what they have in
other countries this is a pleasure" Another
said, eve get democracy for less than
other people pay for dictatorship"
We have habit of taking everything
for granted in the United States and as
suming the government is a great nation
If we would get the truth of the matter
straight in our minds, we ought to visit
some other lands where income taxes and
other leves are man-sized and where gov
ernment does much less for its people.

A GOOD CITIZEN DEPARTS

Commander w. w. Demeritt of the
West under an assignment which requires
his residence at Jacksonville. His regret
at being compelled to leave his native city
was no more poignant than the regret of
his numerous friends that he was COM
PEELED to leave.
For more than 40 years Commander
Demeritt had been identified with the old
lighthouse service. He rose from humble
position in that efficient organization to
the superintendency of the seventh dis
trict, one Of the most important in the
lighthouse service. He had served as
superintendent for more than 25 years
when word came that the lighthouse serv-
ice had been consolidated with the Coast
Guard under an act designed to increase
the efficiency of both agencies and to
bring about operating economies. While
some may question the economical fea-
lures of the consolidation, there is hope
that the combination may prove generally
beneficial. The merger resulted in the
appointment of Supt. Demeritt as a COM
mander in the Coast Guard, the selection
of his capable assistant, Henry B. Has
kins, as lieutenant, and a general re-
classification of many other former light
house servicemen.
Now that Commander Demeritt, long
an active figure ir the political, civic and
religious life of the community, has been
forced to leave Key West, the city is for
tunate in the decision of the Coast Guard
to select Lieut. Commander Carl H. Hilton,
captain of the Cutter Pandora, as officer
in charge of this base, including the light
house division.
Commander Hilton, when he was not
at sea on the Pandora, has taken an active
interest in the civic and social activities of
Kew West, and has established home for
his wife and four children here. His ap-
pointment to succeed Commander De-
merritt is certain to meet with general ap-
proval of not only those in the lighthouse
service, but citizens generally.
In wishing Commander Demeritt good
fortune and good luck no matter where
his duty calls, The Citizen halls and well
comes his successor.

NEVER FOOL YOURSELF

Partisan writers owe their popularity
to their willingness to forget intellectual
honesty in their zeal to stir up the emotions
of their clientele.
While this is a rather low type of
writing it has certain popularity and
serves purpose, even if it be somewhat
low in the scale.
1t is all right for an author to hand
out partisan epithets to whoop up the boys
but it is pathetic when the writer falls for
his own stuff. We can imagine no sorrier
spectacle than a half-baked prophet, en-
tranced by his own hocus-pocus and filled
with the crusading zeal.
Many man, with what he considers
a gift for words, becomes hypnotized by
his own sounds and, at length, loses his
ability to reason. In the end he is bigger
boob than those who cheer his perform
ances.

LIFE
BY WINIFRED COWAN


eeooSeeOeesesesosSSeeeee'
Life is not just an existence,
A game of take or give,
But something very different
If we really want to live.
Life is only a span allotted to us
To do with as we please,
So we can't waste much time
learning
What living really is.
For life takes so much living
If we would make it real,
And it's useless to waste time
wishing
That we could get new deal.
The great Creator builds a life
AS an srchitect builds a home;
Foundations strong, artistic lines,
To weather this life of storm.
If we would live a life complete,
From without and from within,
We must live life to the full
Not just on the edge of things.
Lies lessons are many and va
ried,
And God puts it up to us
To make a record that is worth
while
Before we return to the dust.

be a canard, faux pas, or what have you.
