"sTICKTOiTIvENEssp

"Sticktoitiveness'' is something that
never has been practiced consistently in
City Hall.
Oldtime Key Westers are well aware
| that the present city commission, or some
of it's members, are not the only ones in
| the city's history vino have issued one Or
der today and changed it tomorrow. That
has been going on ever since Key West
has been Key West. -.
But the city commission has been given
timely warning about changing of the
coming law. One day we are told that a
certain area is given this or that alphabet
| ical classificatio and the next day the
restriction is changed.
AS was pointed out at meeting of The
commission on Tuesday, persons disposed
to construct homes have no unbreakable
| assurance that the coming law will be faodi-
fled so that shack may be built or moved
in beside house that cost $4,000 or
more.
However, changes are not confined to
coming laws. A street is made one-Way
street, friends or relatives possess the ear
of a commissioner to make change. ana
the street is either made two-way
thoroughfare, or the direction of the traf-
fic is changed for block or more, or
parking is permitted on both sides of the
street T..
Fleming street, for instance, has un-
dergone a variety of changes, and it is
really surprising that only one change has
been made since Duval became one-way
street 1t runs both ways now from Di-
vision to the beach, which is not objection
able, but if sufficient pressure is brought
to bear on the commission, it would not
be surprising if the two-way order would
be extended to Olivia, or Petronia, or
Angela street.
1t would be wise for officials to stuff
their ears, when they conscientiously feel
they have good law, to suggestions from
relatives, friends or anybody else to
weaken the provisions of the law.
That is particularly true of coming
regulations. Consider we'll before they are
made, but, once adopted, they should be
adhered to as an assurance to builder
that he won't find his well-built home in
company with a shack.

ONE WAY TO WAR

The will to peace, declares Secretary
Of War Robert p. Patterson, is not suffi-

Mr.. Patterson says that the people of

with great nations regarding war as a
legitimate weapon of national expansion
He points out that, in view of this attitude,
the weak have no rights which the strong
regard.
In connection with this statement by
the Secretary of War, we should under
stand that the United States is, undoubt-
edlys the wealthiest area in the world.
Consequently, if any nation goes into wal
withthe aggressive design of getting some
thing from military efforts, the United
States is the outstanding target for at.

PREDICTS GOOD BUSINESS

Good business" in the latter part of
this year is predicted by Gordon K. Creigh-
ton, assistant general manager of the Ma
tional Retail Drygoods Association. He be-
lieves that economic laws are now working
with the merchant and for the consumer
and that people will not have to take goods
that they do not want.
The gentleman is talking, of course,
about apparel in the main. He predicts
that, during the coming Fall season, ev-
erybody will be able to get the materials
they want, in the qualities they want, in
the eolors most becoming to them and in
their own sizes.
This will be something of change
from conditions that have endured for the
past few years. 1t is pleasant to contem-
plate the prospective stocks Of merchan-
disc, so ample for consumer needs and all
that we have to be sure about is that the
consumer will continue to have the money
to purchase what he wants.
