CHEEKY WORD

Politicians, running for statewide or
district offices, have begun to come to
town, and before long they will be coming
in larger numbers.
We may be apt to say, without sec
ond thought, that candidates for state
wide or other offices that include Key
West, would not visit us were they not
running for office
That view may be true, but there is
a second consideration we should not
overlook. Key West is part of the state
and part of congressional and state
senatorial district, and, naturally, who
ever is running for one of those offices,
will come to town because there are votes
here.
That is the broader view to take, and,
as We know, some of the candidates who
visited us before, turned out to be good
friends of Key West. AS many of us may
recall, J. Marx Wilcox, who then resided
in West Palm Beach, when serving as our
representative, called on the late Presi-
dent Roosevelt and the RFC on several oc-
casions in behalf of loan to construct our
bridges. And it was to Wilcox that the
President gave the first information that
the loan would be granted.
So don't strike an attitude that So
and-so is an Jout-of-town candidate and
would notbe here were he not running for
office. And in the final analysis, he is
just the same as one of our own candidates
when election time comes around: friendly
with all he meets while heI is1 R4eetiMe er-
ing. '@ . o1E}rus o1om
Three outsiders have been here thus
far: one, who is aspiring for state senator;
a second who is running for railroad COM
missioner for the seat made vacant by the
withdrawal from the commission by Com
missioner Matthews when his term ex-
pires, and third for member of congress
from this district.
So let the candidates come with a
CHEEKY word for all of us.

LET'S SAVE A FEW LIVES

The adoption of uniform traffic law
throughout the United States is urged as
means to save immense sums of money
through the elimination of accidents,
which will save man-labor, vehicle loss
and injury to individuals.
1t is estimated that 10000 persons
will be killed in the United States, during
1916, through automobile accidents. This
is fearful toll that is being paid, not so
much for speed, as for failure to enact
and enforce vehicle codes and traffic
laws.
Monroe county will furnish its share
of the victims, its proportion of the prop
erty loss and the man-power wasted More
than furnishing its sacrifice the people
here will make out that they like it, be-
cause they will very probably do little or
nothing about it.

THE next morning Edith, obey
- ing an impulse she could not
resist, rode down to Burk Angus
house. She had finally drifted off
to sleep toward morning after
deciding on just this course She
did not analyze too closely her
reasons for going, except that she
wanted, to thank him again for
his service to her father, whom
she knew he scorned, and also she
realized a driving necessity to
know more of this man with the
keen dark eyes and stubborn chin.
She breakfasted alone. attend
ed only by Kitty, who was tired
from her efforts of the day be-
fore and not inclined to be her
usual talkative self.
Edith was glad to be alone. If
any of the others had been pres
ent they would have talked about
the party. It had been a wonder
full party-but always the thought
of that night would be coupled
in Edith's mind with the picture
of Whit Lacey sodden in Burk
Angus arms.
Clay Elliot was in the stables
when she went to get Nancy.
There was a shining coupe Whit
had said she might use and the
station wagon stood idle. but she
preferred the little mare. She was
still wearing Barbara's grey rid
ing pants and scarlet silk shirt.
Clay took his hat off and ran his
fingers through his thinning hair
as he came toward Edith. Il

Edith knew he did, just that.
Whit's indispositions seemed to
be accepted by everyone about
the place, so that they must occur
pretty often.
II must see him some time to-
day if possible" Elliot went on.

she might have.

She followed him across the
wide portico. "Typically Lacey"
he thought. Determined to have

But as he led her into the cool,
dim 'parlour" he saw that she
was struggling with shyness. That,
he thought, was certainly not in
character. Not like Whit Lacey.
"Sit down." he said, land I'll

She said nothing, only smiled
at him in a way that made her

She didn't answer for a long time.
She was beginning to wonder,
herself, why she had come. She
didn't understand Burk Angus at
all. He was the only man she had
ever met by whom she did not
feel entirely approved. The feel
ing that he did not like her made
her nervous and uneasy.

"pll do that" He turned away
in disappointment and went with
Edith to get Nancy. AS he saddled
the little mare for her, she no
ticed that the crupper had been
carefully mended. Thanking CLAW,
she mounted and rode slowly
down the lane to the turnpike.
. Burk Angus had made his early
morning deliveries of fruits and
vegetables; and was working in
his. garden when he saw Edith
Lacey turn in at his gateway and
come down the avenue toward
the house. He had been thinking
about hen steadily all morning
and was not surprised to see her,
though her visit was quite unex-
pected. It was almost as if he had
conjured her up out of his
thoughts, and here she was in
person.
He had angrily tried to dismiss
her image from his mind several
times, but the picture of her in
her flowing white dress remained.
He had been thinking how
shocked she had seemed at sight
of her father, but mostly of how
pretty she was and how she had
stood by Barbara. And how much
she looked like Whit Lacey. That
fact would always be against her
in Burk Angus mind. He saw her
father in everything she said and
did. And yet to be entirely fair
he sensed a. difference in her, a
personality wholly her own. He
was ibaffied, intrigued and to his

upside down. This is a matter
for public referendum and not
merely the interests of our elected
public servants; if they deem
themselves as such.
Those of us, Key Westers by
birth, and those by making this
their home, should demand now
to know to what extent the Zon-
ing of Key West is going to be
junked. A commission represents
the will of the electors and be-
fore they decide as king and ex-
ecutioner to wipe out another
zone in Key West and make a
blight area out of it instead of
residential let them consult their
consciences and public opinion in
a referendum. If they want to
do something, how about remov-
ling the junk yards within hailing
distance of the City Hall? This
is a blight to Key West.

IDEA BUT NOT THE CASH

In a recent speech, U. S. Comptroller
General Lindsay C. Warren warned the
states that the relationship between them
and the Federal Government represents a
danger in tending to concentrate all auth
ority and power in the Federal Govern
ment.
IF the states wish to regain power
and prestige" declared Mr.. Warren,
they must assume their full responsibility
and render to the people a. highsquality Of
public service that cannot be pplicated
by the Federal Governrnef rtlf 80 sS:
This advice, we submit, is timely. At
the moment, however, the ComptroiIef&
General does not suggest how the states
and local governmental units can secure
the money with which to finance public
service of a quality that the Federal Gov
eminent cannot duplicate.
The interesting suggestion has been
made that the Federal Governments in
come tax should be maintained at a rela-
lively high rate, with an equitable distri-
button of the receipts to the states and
from the states to local governments to
abandon their income tax and at the same
time, give them the funds to assume re-
spOnsibilities that cannot be met at the
present time except by the Federal Treas
ury.
