LOOKS LIKE A SIZZLER

The first hat was dropped in the local
political ring yesterday when John Car
bonell, Jr., announced his candidacy for
representative in the state legislature,
subject to the primary to be held in May.
At least two other candidates will
be in that race, Bernie C. Papy, incum-
bent, and DR.. Delio Cobo, who were OPP
ponents in the 1914 representative contest
Two other local important offices
will be sought by aspirants in the primary
election. They are for members of the
county commissioner from the second dis
tricts. The other commissioners, E. C.
Gomez, Clarence Higgs and Allan H. Par
IRISH, were elected in 1914 for four-year
term, and contests for their offices will
not be voted on till 1913.
Thus far The Citizen has heard of
only one candidate who will run for COM
missioner from the fourth district, and he
is Gerald Saunders. The office is now
held by Maxine Valdez. No name has
been mentioned, so far as The Citizen has
heard, Of an opponent of Frank Bentley
in the second district.
The race, two years ago, between
Papy and Cobo, was rather more than
warmish, but with Carbonell, already at
the starting post, it will be sizzler this
year, judging from the political wire pull
ing that is already under way.
Somebody has said that nothing in
the United States generally arouses more
interest and enlists more adherents than
bang-up political race ..
Key West has had many such cam
paigns, and, offhand, the hottest one we
can recall was the contest for mayor be-
tween the late DR.. ]. N. Fogarty and DR..
John B. MalOney.

COLLEGES TO TURN VETS AWAY

The colleges and universities of the
country are turning away thousands of
discharged war veterans, who are seek
ing admission, because of insufficient
housing and facilities, according to a sur
vey conducted by the New York Times.
Sixty leading institutions, covered in
the study, report that they are either
turning away qualified veterans and civil
ians or will be forced to do so when the
September term begins.
If this is an accurate picture of the
situation that cOnfronts men home from
the wars it is important that some action
be taken now to relieve the condition that
will develop this fall. Veterans who want
to conclude fheir schooling, after giving
several years to the service of the nation,
will not like the Illustration of their hopes
and many will develop a bitter mood.
The prospective shortage of housing
accommodations is said to be the most
serious impeachment to the admission of
the veterans. If this is the case there is no
reason why something cannot be done to
remedy the condition but obviously not
many institutions of learning have suffi-
cient funds to undertake the building pro-
gram that may be needed only temper
arily.

TO DO WITH THE CASE:

Recently in a suburban town outside
New York City radio commentator was
invited to make a speech to a Woman's
Club, and she did so, expressing fairly
strong views on various domestic and
foreign political issues. Whereupon a week
or so later an English instructor in the local
high school, making speech to another
club, struck back. This was of course per-
fectly legitimate. 1t is of the essence of de-
mOcracy that issues are debated, that one
mans statement is subject always to an
other mans rebuttal. But this high school
instructor chose to drag in the fact that the
radio commentator had been born in Italy
and only recently naturalized. Among
other things he said, 81, whose ancestors
came over in the 1600s, have a better right
to have opinions on these subjects.'
Nonsense. Obviously the merit of
mans argument has nothing whatever to
do with the year of his embarkation from
Europe. We are all the descendants of i'm
migrant ancestors. The high school teacher
showed himself not a thinker but a snob.
If he had case he lost it by introducing
the purely personal and immaterial fact of
the RADIO commentators change of nation
atty. {s@-s
This is the sort of self-complacency,
based upon the sheer accident of ancestry
which makes up a large part of the stuffing
in many stuffed shirt. One may be honest
ly proud of forebears but forebears in
themselves convey no distinction upon their
descendants. People are not mysteriously
better or worse because of their arrival
time in the United States. Nor are ideas
answered or arguments won on this un-
thinking basis.

DON'T GET POOR QUICK

The above title reverses some of the
old PHILOSOPHERS about getting rich
quick. There are more ways to buy use
less goods right now than at any other
time within the memory of man. So, why
not take the sage advice of William
Shakespeare, speaking through one of the
characters in famous play, who said:
True; save means to live" That is word
to the wise. Keep out of investment OPP
portunities" of the kind that wrecked
American economy in the early 1905,
when millions of our citizens completely
failed to "get rich uick''-thousands of
them in the stock market, where they ran
their heads against stone walls and lost
all of their savings-and their shirts.

SUPPORTS SPANISH REPUBLICANS

Matthew Woll of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, says that American labor
will help, acknowledgement in Spain in its
effort tofreesthat nation from the Franco
regime, which is termed an ''injustice
which the democratic world has allowed
to be inflicted upon the noble Spanish
people"
What is the basis for Mr.. VOLTS
statement? The undisputed fact that Hit
Ter and Mussoini put Franco in power,
sending soldiers and munitions to aid his
cause while the pacifist-minded and ap-
peasement-practicing demOcracies aban-
doned their own version of international
law to cut off similar succor to the repub-
lican government of Spain.
For period there was tendency to
deny the obvious fact that the success of
the revolution in Spain was due, almost
entirely, to the assistance rendered by the
aggressor nations, Italy and Germany. The
air was filled with cries about Red Russia
and communism but the revelations that
have followed the downfall of Mussolini
definitely confirm the interest of the die
tatOrs in the Franco rebellion.

Cnapter 4
THEN Chris was saying, a far
l. away, detached look in his
eyes, Laura has wanted to tell
you for some time, Edith-but she
somehow didn't have the cour-
age" He smiled. you would al
most have thought you were the
mother, Edith-and she had to
ask your permission! So I don't
think she'll mind if l take the
plunge!"
Edith felt herself growing
straight and stiff. She released
her breath with sharp, unnat-
ural little sound. Laura wanted to
tell her - what? Something she
was afraid might hurt! A strange
quivering that was like numbness
in motion took possession of
Edith's body.
Laura and I are going to be
married." Chris went on. His eyes
were shining, his voice exultant.
after all these years, Edith,
she's going to have me! Think of
it, darling child! Will you like
me as a father?"
After a few moments Edith
realized that she had to say some
thing. You couldn't just stand
staring forever at a man who has
just told you he is going to mar
ry your mother when you thought
he had been about to propose to
you! She felt a little sobbing
laugh rising in her throat. Awful!
She must hold herself steady for
just these few terrible moments
then she'd be all right. $3.50
Had her mother guessed and
urged her to go to her fathers to
help ease the pain in her heart?
Had her mother even arranged
this visit to see Edith through
the difficult time? She felt her
face burning. s>E<E
But she was growing steady!
The horrible laugh was receding
down her throat. Her limbs were
stopping their trembling. She
was not going to do anything I'M
forgivable. And in a moment she
marvelled to hear herself saying,
"Chris-that's wonderful! I'm
glad-really I ami"
She would never get over being
grateful that at that moment
voices in the hall told them her
mother was returning. She knew
she could not have spent another
moment alone in that room with

Chris without doing or saying
something disgraceful.
T AURA LACEY, looking a little
Il tired and apprehensive, came
into the room followed by tall,
impressive = looking man. Laura
wore the blue chiffon dress and in
spite of her fatigue looked very
lovely. At sight of Chris her face,
her whole being frightened with
revealing radiance and Edith
thought in dismay, elias it been
so plain all the time, or did just
not want to see it?"
"Ah, Chris, IT'S so good to see
you againi" Laura smiled as he
took her hand. |'What a nice cosy
party We'll make!" She turned to
the tall man behind her. Let me
present Alan Crosby who has
jus: given me some marvellous
commissions for his new maya
zine, 'Calendar'!"
Crosby smiled at Edith and
shook hands with Chris. Don't
tell me-" he begged of Laura,
''ttnat this lovely child is yours?"
Mine" smiled Laura, resting
her head against Edith's dark
one. "And by the way, I'm going
to use her for a model for your
magazine cover. What do you
think of that?"
Splendid! I'm sure the news
stands will be swamped. But it's
late, I'd best be getting on"
'No-stay and chat a while. ]
want you to know these people
better"
The four of them sat around
the brilliant little fire. Edith
watched her mother curiously.
Funny how she seemed almost
like q stranger. It seemed to her,
with the new acuteness of percep-
ton She, was acquiring, that there
was something a little feverish
about Laura's determined gaiety.
Was she afraid - wondering -
worrying for fear Edith might
love Chris, too? Had she been
unable to hide her dreams from
her mother who knew so well
her every waking thought?
1t was late when Crosby final
ly did rise, glancing in surprise
at his watch.
Its been pure witchcraft," he
declared. Time couldn't possibly
go so swiftly. Thank you, Mrs
Lacey, for very happy evening.
May come again?."

she turned to Chris and said
sweetly, You'll run along, too,

Chris did not bother to hide

Both of you?"

said.

Laura were alone by the fire once
