CONGRATULATIONS, MR.. SMITH!

One of Key Vests most enthusiastic
boosters among the ranks of new residents
is George Smith, proprietor Of the North
Beach Inr. The Citizen feels quite safe in
saying. too, that he is probably spending
more money to prove his belief in our city
than anybody else in that classification.
This writer has witnessed the i'm
prOvementS that Mr. Smith has installed at
his hOstelry, providing, all in all, highly
creditable addition to the city and its
facilities for visitors. We have heard, too.
of the odds that he had to battle in bring
ing his dreams to fruitiOn-Odds that
would have sent many another man apack-
ing TO leave the city in disgust.
But Mr.. Smith wants to forget all the
unpleasantries and rest on his laurels in the
belief that he has brought definite i'm
prOvement to his section of the city with
the Installation of a swimming beach and
complete facilities fer guests at his hotel.
The Citizen joins the city in offering
congratulations to this enterprising new
citizen He thinks enough of our city TO
call it home. On top of that, he's doing
something constructive about it.

The conviction of George Scalise as
union racketeer and thief is victory for
labor as we'll as justice. 1t is also a
triumph for WestbrOok Pegler, the
columnist, WHO uneafthedn .ScahseS- I'M
savory past. Willie Bioff, another. union
gangster, is behind the bars through the
disclosures of this newspaper man. There
are other union heads who will be peg
lerized" in due course. 1t is surprising
that neither Green of the A. F. of l.. and
Lewis of the c. l. o. have done nothing and
are doing nothing to clean their Augean
stables of men of this stripe, after having
been tipped off by Pegler. 1t seems al
most that~they are irked by the cleansing
activities of man for whom they should
have nothing but praise and gratitude.

The custom of two terms of the presi-
dency for one man is a wise ore, and it
should be embodied in constitutional
amendment. Better still. one term of six
years: then the incumbent will be devoid
of the incentive to strive for another term,

The name Gibraltar is derived from
the Arabian, Jebel-al-Tarik, Mount of
Tarik. There isn't much similarity in the
sound. but the English have a way to twist
foreign languages to suit themselves, as for
instance Rotten Row, for the French
Rue du ROi.''
