SEEKING THE NEE OY

All of us frequently h. I'VE
heard it said of persons tn 81
they ''are too proud to beg,
or that they would starve
before seeking charity.
Offhand, we are likely to
censure them for that attl-
tude, but, if we commune
with ourselves to try to de-
termine what we would do
in similar circumstances,
nine times in 10 we would
decide to do just as they are
doing.
One of the most hearten-
ing feelings is a sense of IN
dependence, and one of the
most depressing is a sense OF
dependence. Bobby Burns
brings out that thought
pointedly in a quartrain,
giving his estimate of the
possession of money:
Not for to hide it in a hedge,
Nor for train attendant,
But for the glorious privilege
Of being independent.
With those thoughts in
mind, we suggest to the COM
mittee that is arranging for
Christmas cheer for the
needy in Key West to try to
learn of families that are
hard put to get bread and
butter but whose sense OF
pride is such they do not
ask for charity.
The Citizen has been in
formed that there are at
least so such families in
Key West. General inquiry
will locate most of them,
and we trust that the com
mittee will succeed in find.
ing them.
Undoubtedly, the commit
tee is aware that there are
a good many persons who
are always ready to toe the
line to get a handout, re-
gardless of whether or not
they need it.
Despite that condition
with which the committee
will have to contend, the
spirit of cheer that the com.
mittee will create in many
a home at Christmas time
is in keeping with the season
! of peace ON earth and good
will OF all men.

WHAT TO DO ABOUT
RUSSIA

Secretary of State James
F. Byrnes recently expressed
some doubt to Soviet Minis
ter Molotov that treaties of
peace will be concluded at
all, pointing out that, at the
present rate of progress, the
work of he Council will not
be completed until 1850.
1t is recorded that the So
Wet Foreign Minister consid-
cred the view "pessimistic"
but the record seems to up
hold the conclusion of Mr..
Byrnes. So far, the Council
of Foreign Ministers has
been unable to agree upon
any important issue, large
ly because the Russians do
not agree upon any solution
of any problem except their
own.
1t is difficult for the peo-
pie of this country to under
stand the position taken by
the Russian officials, but, if
we judge from comments in
Russian Communist newspa-
pers, it is equally as difficult
for the Russians to under
stand the position taken by
the Western powers.
There is the necessity that
treaties Of peace be drafted
in order that the nations of
the earth can get back to
the routine of peace. The
enemy countries are entitled
to know the cost of their late
folly in order that they can
begin, if they see fit, to re-
habilitate themselves and
become acceptable members
in a society of peaceful ma
tions.
While it is too early to
conclude that separate
treaties of peace may be
necessary in order to estab-
lish a doubtful stability in
Europe, it begins to look as
if the task is hopeless and
that the Western Nations
will have to choose between
chaos or some kind of sta
bility in the absence OF the
Soviet Union.

PoINTING THE WAY

Senator Bridges of New
Hampshire, who: is slated to
be3the new chairman of the
u Senate Committee on
Appropl6ations recently is
suer atemant in which
he sid s6vernnlent needs
it's alNn- taste of yrationing,
ceilings and priorities-and
in the same rigid measure
that these things have been
imposed on the people.
There must be a ration
ing of money to spend.
There must be priorities
on new and costly projects.
"The American people
are vigorously demanding
a government that spends
no more than it receives in
taxes, that lives within the
ability of its people to pay,
that balances it's budget
and cuts it's debt"
If that vital goal is to be
achieved every government
al non-esSential must be
eliminated and every penny
of avoidable expenditure
must be cut from future bud
gets.
The economy drive should
begin with activities which
are not properly within the
sphere of government, and
which would be provided
by tax-paying business if it
were allowed the opportun-
ity. The outstanding exam
pie of this lies in govern
ment electric power prof.
eets. At this very moment,
the socialists are demand
ing that the government
spend untold millions to
create and develop a Mis-
souri, Valley Authority, a
Columbia Valley Authority,
and a number of others.
None of these would pro-
vide a single necessary
thing that private industry
under local government reg
ulation cannot and should
not provide. Not one of them
would produce benefits suf-
ficient to offset the losses
that occur when free enter
prise is liquidated, and more
and more property is re-
moved from local tax rolls.
Senator Bridges points
the way. Let Congress fol-
low.

Outsider Bee Ann Mac
Nabs LaureI's Selma,
Earns S41,S40
By the Assoe;ofed Press

LAUREL, Md. Oct. 26.-Splashing
through the mud on a track made
sloppy by overnight rain, j. r. Brad
ley's Bee Ann Mac, an outsider, won
the rich Selma Stakes for 2-year-
old flllies today at Laurel Park and
with 1t purse of SAL $40.
Sporting the Kentucky silks for
the brother of the late E. r. Brad
ley, Bee Ann Mac was content to let
the fayorite, w. H. Laboyteaux's
Pipette and others set the early
pace, then came on to score by a
length and a half margin over Mrs.
A. Sabaths Say Blue.
- Ogden Phipps' Quarantine was
third, another length away in the
field Of IS hllies.
Pipette, which was coupled in the
large field with Mrs. E. H. Augustus
Allure and Brookield Farms In
first, had the outside post position
and was sent away outside the a.
place starting gate.
In sixth position and in a good
spot because of the sloppy going,
Jockey Abelardo De Lara aboard
Bee Ann Mac allowed j. M. Hutch
ms Proud Ruler and Say Blue to
battle for the lead Proud Ruler held
a head advantage over Bee Ann Mac
at the half pole and at the three
quarter marker, Say Blue took over,
with Pipette making her bid.
De Lara hustled the daughter of
Blue Larkspur into a head advan-
tage over Say Blue as they hit the
stretch and Bee Ann Mac was pull
ing away going down to the wire.
Bee Ann Mac, covering the mile
and q sixteenth in 1:50, paid $3.50,
$3.50 and 50 90 across the board.
