torians insist that April IA, 1866,
was a night on which witches flew
over Washington. Surely, they
whisper, there were more things in
heaven and earth that day and
night than are dreamt of in any
historians philosophy,
As another example, consider
the people in the box with the
President and Mrs. Lincoln that
night.
Miss Clara Harris was the
daughter of the Senator from New
York. Major Henry R. Rathbone
was the stepson of the same Sena-
tor. Miss Harris and Major Rath-
bone, guests of Abraham Lincoln
at the theater that night, were
soon to be married. They and
Mrs. Lincoln flanked the President
when Booth entered the box in
Ford's Theater.
He came in. a shadowy pres
ence. quietly closed and barred
the door behind him. He had pis-
tol in one hand and a dagger in the
other. He walked straight up to
the President. placed the pistol to
the massive dark head, and fired.
The Major Was Occupied
Now, had Major Rathbone been
paying less attention to the COM
edy on the stage and to his pretty
fancee, he could have prevented
the crime of the century. But he
was sitting next to his sweetheart
and looking down at the stage.
Who can blame him if his thoughts
were too carefully divided between
love and laughter to be spared for
the sudden appearance of shadowy
strangers?
Immediately after the shot, he
jumped up. Though slight,
smallish man. as the history
books say, Rathbone had courage.
He threw himself upon Booth"
The two men, actor and soldier,
fought in the space behind Lin
coins crumpled figure. Booth, still
armed with a dagger. slashed at
Rathbone and cut his arm. Rath-
bone fell to the ground. and
Booth escaped by vaulting over
the box. jumping dozen feet
onto the stage.
History has paid very little
attention to Major Rathbone.
Though he was not eight feet from
the President when the shot was
fired. though he was the man clos
est to one of the great American
catastrophes. his subsequent his
tory is almost forgotten. So is that

Tipped by n Flag

BooTH was wearing spurs, for he
was to rush through the theater,
leap on his waiting horse and ride
to safety. But when he vaulted
from the box. one of his spurs
caught in the bunting. And that is
why Booth, the experienced jump
er, fell so clumsily to the stage and
broke his leg. And it was because
of the broken leg that he was even
tually trapped in a barn, and
killed.
Booth, the perfect planner.
hadn't figured on bunting - and
on the strange forces that were at
work that night. He hadn't figured
on being tripped up by an Ameri-
can flag. The End

OF his hancee, the young and
lovely" Miss Harris. Historians
can only assume that the Major
was haunted for the rest of his
days by the knowledge that he
was the man who might have
saved Lincoln's life. For in later
years the short and smallish Major
shot and killed the lovely Clara
Harris, and ended his own days in
an insane asylum.
Omens? Dire portents? A black
curse on all concerned?
An Accomplished Jumper
OTHER peculiar things happened
that night, but one in particular
merits the skeptic's close atten-
ton: In jumping from the box to
the stage, Booth broke his leg.
1t was quite jump to the stage
- for ordinary people: But Booth,
in terms of stage experience: was
an accomplished Jumper" He
was one of the hellfre -and-calis-
thenic school of acting, a kind of
Douglas Fairbanks of his day. In
Macbeth" the agile Booth used
to leap to the stage from a rock IL
feet high. What then, to such a
man, was drop of dozen feet
from the box to the stage?
1t was nothing. Booth could
have done it any day in the week,
blindfolded. He knew it, and it
was an integral part of his plan.
What he didn't grasp was
that April IA, 1865, was not
just any night of the week. 1t
was the night on which the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Lincoln honored
Ford's Theater with a visit, and
the management had gratefully
decorated the Presidential box
with bunting.

MONOGRAPHS
WHAT THE DECISION
MEANS TO STABILITY

The decision of the Unit
ed States Supreme Court in
the case of John l.. Lewis
should not be regarded as
4an important contribution
to the stability of ordinary
labor-management relations.
The action of the Court
was to the effect that the
government should take ac-
ton against a masS-Scale
strike and the government
itself. This is amplified by
an Interpretation of the Nor
ris-LaGuardia Act upon the
basis of which union attOr-
neys argued that congress
had deprived the govern
ment of the right to use in
functions against labor un-
der any circumstances.
Chief Justice VinSon held
for the majority that the
Act prohibits the use of in
functions only in purely
private labor disputes" and
does not have a bearing
when the government is in
VOlved "in a dispute with it's
own employees"
1t should be noted that at
the time Mr.. Lewis attempt
ed to instigaet the strike. the
government was operating
the coal mines and that, in
connection with the Su-
preme Court decision, the
Court held that the miners
were "employes of the gov
eminent"

SCOT TO SAVE FISH

The State Conservation
Department of Wisconsin,
according to a news dispatch
from Madison. is using air
planes to drop lampblack on
the larger lakes for the pur-
pose of saving fish from
drowning.
Every year, w hen thick
ice forms on the water, fish
are deprived of oxygen.
They literally drown. T h e
lampblack is expected to abb
sorb the suns rays and melt
some of the ice, permitting
air to reach the fish.

our material growth, and / con-
slider the most important problem
facing the state today is a re-
vision and refinancing of our
school system so as to place Flor
ida schools in the forefront. This
includes increasing teachers sal
aries and providing adequate ia
cilitleS for our schools.
Another important matter is
that of public welfare. The end
of the war has brought many
problems to elderly people, blind
and other persons dependent upon
the state for assistance. The bud
get board has recommended an
increase of some nine million dol
lars in welfare appropriations and
a large increase in the appropria-
tons cannot be escaped.

MARTI AND ROOSEVELT

doubt about that; Frandlln
d. Roosevelt was a great
American observation-disclosures
no d lou b t a b out that.
but Marti was a foreigner,
and Roosevelt was an Amer
ican-there's no doubt about
that, either. And Key West
is an American city.
Further, nobody can deny
conscientiously that Frank
lin d. Roosevelt did more
for Key West than any other
man or any group of men.
Whether or not we agreed
with his relief measures,
some of which were nothing
more than the dole under
high-sounding designations,
yet we must admit that he
saved many a Key Wester
from going hungry.
We are prone to forget.
but it is easy for us to recall
that many Key Westers,
in the dreary days of the be-
ginning of the Depression,
did not know from one day
to another when they would
get their next meal. And
then Franklin d. Roosevelt,
through measures that he
had advocated and had had
put into effect, stepped into
Key West and spent millions
of dollars to improve the
economic conditions of the
community.
The worker in the ranks
did not receive much, but he
received enough to keep the
wolf away from his door,
for groceries were cheap in
those days.
Now come three men,
bers of the city commission
to propose the changing of
the name of the south shore
of Roosevelt Boulevard, a
name given it in apprecia-
ton for what Franklin D.
Roosevelt had done for Key
West and Key Westers, to
Marti Boulevard, in honor of
the Cuban patriot.
The Citizen frankly con-
fesseS that it can not deter
mine the reasoning of the
three commissioners in even
entertaining a proposal of
that nature. Do they think,
as one of the strongest adj
vocates of t h e change
thought. that the boulevard
was named after President
Theodore Roosevelt? Imag-
inc Key West, 90 per cent of
it's vote Democratic, naming
a street for a Republican
that in no way identified
himself with the economic
conditions in this commun-
ity!
Further, The Citize n
thinks that Frank Bentley,
chairman of the Monroe
County Commission. is right
in maintaining that, as the
boulevard was constructed
by the county, and is main
tanned by the county, its
name can not be changed
without the consent of the
county commission.
If the three city commits
sioners in question are in
clined to draw rounds of
cheers from the Key West
public, let them, instead of
changing names Of streets,
improve their condition.
But if the commissioners
insist on naming a street af-
ter Jose MART, let them
change the name of some
other street to his, and let
the boulevard keep its pres
ent name in honor Of our
late president.
