An inmate Of the Connecticut
School for Boys took his foot i'm
his hand, one spring day, and cir
cled down into this valley from the
patrolled country where he dared
not linger. Here, he sought refuge
In the back Of Tip Halls smithy.
Tip wasn't exactly sheltering him,
but he wasn't chasing him away
either. Sometimes the kid got .
bite to eat, until the gossips start
ed chattering. Then Thoad Wheel
err had to take . hand. Thoad
didn't exactly want to, but he rep
resented The Law.
Come dawn, Thoad drove up in
front of Tips shop and yelled,
Have you got a fugitive from JUS
tice In there, Tip?" Tip made out
that he didn't hear SO well and
hammered away just the same.
But the kid heard, and he started
out the back door with the bit in
his teeth. Water was low In the
Pomperaug, just then, so the boy
scooted across the slippery stones
of the dam and headed for the
nils ana Falrlleld county. Inoao
saw nm. snake H1cock also saw
him. Snake yelled: Give i'm a
chance, Thoad. IThoad did.

AFTER 164 YEARS

1t is now 164 years since the adoption
of our Declaration of independence, and
this years anniversary finds the United
States in real danger of having to fight
again for the liberties which that immortal
document and the Constitution provided
for the people of this nation.
We have too long taken these liber-
ties for granted, and until recently have
failed to realize thai. they might be wrest-
ed from us, either by foes from without or
foes from within-and we have both.
There can no longer be doubt in the
minds of informed persons as to the fact
that the fate of all Democratic nations is
at stake in the present war. There may be
honest differences of opinion among pa
triotic citizens concerning how America
should proceed to meet the situation which
unfortunately exists. but it would be folly
not to recognize its existence.
Overconfidence and stupidity COM
bined have brought disaster to France and
other nations of Europe, and have brought
the British Empire dangerously near the
brink of ruin. These former Allies of the
first World War permitted Hitler to fleut
the Treaty of Versailles and tear it to
pieces, bit by bit Thus they lost the fruits
of victory won in 1918 aftermore than
four years of struggling and sacrifice.
The vital question for the United
States at this moment is how to best pro-
tect our people against the loss of our own
liberties, which have been enjoyed for
more than a century and a half. The an
swer must be prompt and decisive. There
is danger even now that we have waited
too long.

PENETRATOR PENS

hours and hours a day for mere
pittanee. The only thing we can
see is that Bobbie loves his beach
and takes a great pride in it. If
he was assured of a living wage
he would probably work 40 hours
out of "a, if that were possible.
Coming to Key West as a
stranger, we have to get our in
formation the hard way, by ask
ing questions that the native
sons know the answers to with
out asking. We started by ask
ing, why no benches at the
beach," 1t seems there were
some there once bit they disap-
peared. why not get more?"
The consensus on that one seems
to be, Too poor.
We heard that La Concha Park
was fixed up for a recreation
center for service men but that
1t did not appeal to them for
some reason. We have an idea
that there are benches there that
could be moved to the beach, but
of course there must be some OBJ
stacle to that idea. What is the
obstacle? Who should we see
about it? Who owns or controls
those benches? Are they civic
minded? Can we get those
benches for South Beach?
Perhaps if there were benches
to sit on there wouldn't be so
much relaxing done at the beach.
After all there is something
rather unesthetic about the prone
position in public
Benches, benches, my kingdom
for a bench.

BOYS AND BENCHES

There will be some very young
broken hearts in Key West on
July 7th if any one Of the boys of
Boy Scout Troop So is unable to
go to camp al Tampa because of
financial circumstances.
We foolish humans abuse and
overwork ourselves until we get
sick and then expect the doctor
to repair in two office calls the
damage we have inflicted over a
period of months.
Everybody has nightmares at
some time or other and one of the
principal ones you hear them
talk about is falling from a high
place. The sensation of falling is
child's play compared to the one
of suddenly becoming lighter
than air. You are sure the law
of gravity has been annulled and
you go up and up and wonder if
and when you win fall back to
earth.
Way up, way down, the psy-
chiatrists call it manic-depres-
sive.
We cannot afford to let our
young boy scouts become manic
depressiveS. We observed their
great citation and youthful exub-
erance at the High School audi
forum Friday night and we GER
tainly hope they will not be de-
pressed on July It'll. The boys
were on the outside looking in.

If we yield all our national defenses

urally be so weakened, if England loses,

PROGRESSIVE SIGNS

Live there people in Key West who
can say that times aren't getting any bet
ter? That conditions are bad and getting
no better fast? Then, if there are such
blind pause for moment and consider
these facts:
We've just ended: "a six months, fiscal
period in Key West-and the time comes
to take a recapitulation of what went on
since the first of this year. To see howsthe
trends were-trends of certain businesses
that are considered excellent induces of up
swings or downslides in the business
world To see whether or not we've pro-
crossed any further on the comeback trail
from the terrific lows of 1884 and 1885.
One of the best induces that points the
way for better-Or wOrse-businesS in any
community, and especially in community
that sets itself up as tourist center, is the
record of post office receipts. AS released
yesterday, that index carries good news
when comparison of the total during June
OF this year and during the same month
last year is reckoned. So, too, was the
each month of this year showing substan-
tial increases over corresponding months
last year. The total difference was over
$6,000-mOre receipts in 1910 than 1889.
There's one part of z the answer to
those who think we're still in the midst of
bad times.
Another, and perhaps stronger, posi-
tive answer is furnished us through the
building inspectors office, where is record
ed the construction work within the city
limits New house construction and re-
pair jobs-what's the difference, when one
considers that they all cause much employ
ment-showed an outstanding increase
during the past six months over the same
period in 1889. While some months fell
below the previous years totals, the addi-
ton of all construction work for the first
half of 1910 was in the neighborhOOd of
$4,000 more than last year. Eighty thou
sand dollars more paid to construction and
material companies and to labor, mostly
to the latter And this in a six months
periodi
Take just those two cases, then add to
them the assurances of start of work on at
least three major projects during the COM
ing summer months, and we have such an
overwhelming answer to the doubling
Thomases in our city that the Oppressive
thoughts and expressions should never
even be whispered again.
The Citizen looks to the future with
much optimism. The green lights favor a
city-wide go-ahead signal to throw away
your axes and pick up horns. Trumpet
the glad tidings of better times with us
now, and, still better, in days to come!

President Roosevelt thought that GER
tain members of the Supreme Court were
too old for the new order of things and
tried to pack the court, at which he failed
dismally. Inconsistency, he now picks old
man Stimson for his secretary of war, and
that is one more step towards war. The
appointment of Knox as secretary of the
navy is another step in the direction of Eu-
rOpean embodiment.

The adoption of the America

The adoption of the American eagle
as the national symbol of this country is
not happy one or one that symbOlizes the
character of the American people. The
American eagle flies to great heights and
this loftiness characterizes our high aspira-
tons; otherwise, he is detestable bird
and not one to point to with pride. As
Benjamin Franklin wrote7to his daughter,
concerning the ill-chosen representative of
this country: He is bird of bad moral
character; he does not get his living hon.
estly; you may. have seen him perehed on
some dead tree where, too lazy to fish for
himself, he watches the labor of the fish
ing hawk and when that diligent bird has
at length taken fish and is bearing it to
his nest for the support of his mate and the
young ones, the bald eagle pursues him
and takes it from him. With all this
injustice he is never in good case, but, like
those among men who live by sharping and
robbing, he is generally poor and often
very lousy. Besides, he is a rank coward

need to foster the theory that any man is
Indispensable; that is true in the tOtalitari-
an countries where one mans dream is
made the objective for realization

1t is very doubtful if the selection of
two Republicans to the cabinet makes for
national solidarity; it may split the eoun-
try wide open ON the issue of war.
