Mesa Man Dies After
Fight With Buddy

A misunderstanding between two
Mesa men who were supposed to be
good friends caused a fight last
week in which Hubert Jackson, 18,
was struck on the head with a club
by Lemuel Elliot, 25.
At the time the blow seemed to
have little effect. Elliot returned to
his home and went to bed and
lapsed into a coma, he was then
rushed to a hospital but never re-
gained consciousness. He died Fri
day night.

eyes have gazed in rapture at
these magnificent flowers In tuil
majestic glory. In the silence OF
midnight having attained full
ness they are eight inches across,
snow-whi-e with golden tinted
stamens. Each dainty leaf looks
and feels like a silk feather They
closely resemble the water-lily IN
all its glory. Mingled with this
exotic perfume come scents OF
Jasmine bushes; lovely Moon
Flowers; Frangi-Panni and the
Gallant of Night; but far more
penetrating are the heavily laden
perfumes emanating from Gabri-
els, Angel Trumpet, as its exceed
ingly glad Hosannas fill the
night air with blissfhl music, ex-
oticaIly rare. Festivities had just
begun when jolly old Santa
Claus appeared with his eight
tiny reindeer, his large sled load
ed with gifts for sleeping chill
dren. Santa told the flowers he
was perplexed-Key West homes
have no chimneys. Somehow he
finds a way to fill everyone's
stockings, for he has travelled all
the way from the North Pole, and
never disappoints anyone How he
gets into these Island homes he
never reveals-not even to the
flowers. IL
Stars like diamonds brighten
the sky and in the deep mystery
of night poetic softness wells this
Island, and GOODNESS comes with
velvet touch. Usually the vines
cease vibrating and lie seemingly
asleep; but this is Christmas Eve
and tonight all are wide awake
and joyous; their sweet voices
blending IN devout praise. In the
first flush of dawn, birds of every
hue, bees and gorgeous colored
butterflies come in large groups.
All gather around the Dracaena
or Saint Joseph Lily, on which
rests an unsurpassed beautiful
maroon, purple pod in which
Symbolically lies the Christ
Child. The plant is a giant with
banana like leaves, and on an
arm fully two full inches in cir
conference, transcedent pod
appears;-slowly this unfolds and
its standings of Maroon Rel Or
child, White and Purple blend
perfectly with the tiny golden
stamens; its fragrance is over
whelming, and this very day a
pod opened, and twenty two
blooms appeared. 1t is very realis-
tic and rishtfully named Christ
in the Manager. For nothing else
on this sad earth can compare
with it for symbolic realism. All
of Christmas Day elfs play with
little children who happily have
brought toys Santa gave them,
and every moment angelic voices
ring with anthems of alteration
and rejoicing. Christ is bornt
How ardently and quickly lit
tie children and glowing flow
erS respond to their environment.
But now the hour of parting
draws nigh and the flowers re-
turn to their trees, shrubs and
vines, contentedly appeased.

The choicest bits are always saved
for Brownie, as his more than port
ly figure proves these days.
Brownie was injured by an auto
mobile awhile back and was taken
by . local taxi driver, whose stand
is on Brownies corner, to the vet
erinarian's. When the story came
out in the paper that Brownie was
laid up, contributions poured In to
see that the old fellows vet bill was
taken care of.

Brownie has become such we'll
known citizen that when his tail
didn't wag with the accustomed
vigor in answer to q friendly pat his
friends once again took him to the
vets for q checkup. This time
when the donations started coming
in Ed Burgen Of the taxi stand had
the idea Of starting a bank account
for Brownie.
Today Brownie is q monied Ca
nine. His bank account contains
not only money from gifts but he
has earned part Of it himself. Many
tourists and the home folks alike
wanted their pictures taken with the
well-known dog, as well as just pic
lures of the kindly old gentleman
himself. The proceeds from these
sales have gone to swell the dog
giest bank account in town.
What Brownie will do about pay
ing his income tax this year hasn't
been decided as yet. 1t may turn
out to be something Of q problem
for him to figure out. He can't
very well deduct anything for busi-
ness expenses unless he can persuade
the local authorities to charge him
rent for the use Of the corner where
he basks daily. He has q house
on the corner, too, built for him by
his admirers, and he might talk them
into charging him an exorbitant
rent for that also.

candidate ever for elective office
Peace or war Is the fateful ques-
ton of our time; the United States
Secretary of State Is at the moment,
beyond any degree previously con-
templated, almost q Prime Min
lister. His words are momentous;
his publicity enormous. A politician
otherwise available for the presi-
dency could, at this point in our
history, become practically the in
evitable successor to the President
he served well. Mr.. AcheSon Is un-
available wholly.
Nobody thinks that the President
has done this because he has made
up his mind firmly to run again;
they do think he was entirely aware
Of the political aspect of his State
Department choice.

Other re-shufflings Of his Cabinet

cause they hope it. are inevitable
will be scanned closely for what
light they can shed on the Truman
1852 viewpoint. No possible heirs
hold Truman portfolios now; If this
remains true in another year or
two, 1t will be taken as evidence
that he planned 1t that way.
Regarding Gov. Dewey, the senti-
ment is unanimous that he will be
in the 1852 race. His decision to
make the Lincoln Day dinner speech
here himself: his expanded social
program in New York with tax
increase to further it, have clinched
the matter for the politicos.
1t is understood here that the
Dewey speech will spell out his
theory Of the Republican defeat In
November and his suggestions for
revival of the party. It will, in
contrast to the prevalent defeatism
among Republicans in Congress, at
least be aggressive and constructive.
It seems impossible that the party
which has been defeated five times
in succession will renominate its
two time loser but then it seemed
very improbable they would re-
nominate him . second time and
they did.

since Gen. Clay will be replaced

suggestion of his new Secretary of
State, Dean Acheson, has decided
to send a civilian to take over the

title Of High Commissioner.
Gen. Clay has had an unfortunate

a very able administrator, he was
the victim Of circumstances. The
advocates of the Morgenthau plan
accused him of being pro-German.
The Germans, outside Of actual
government officials, consider him as
an enemy Of their race and whisper
stories about him. They also
consider him as pro-French, while
the French authorities hint that
his policies show a clear indi-

l6 Years Ago and Now
Sun Shines on Truman, but Shadow
Of Roosevelt Hangs Heavily on Times

this Is truly our hour in the world.
President Truman assigned us the
task, 1rrevocably, so there can be
no turning back, and 1t is a thrilling
mission to which he calls us.
What President Roosevelt prom
ised-and achieved-for us here at
bone, Harry Truman has proposed
to do for the rest of the world,
to the end that everywhere in the
world there shall be a self-reliant
society of free and prosperous people
and on the pattern that we have
made for ourselves here. The pro-
lection Of the American dream.
Our aim should be to help the
free peoples of the world, through
their own efforts, to produce more
food, more clothing, more materials
for housing, and more mechanical
power to tighten their burdens" he
said, using the design that we have
followed since that other man stood
there is years ago to awaken us to
our own powers.
Democracy" he said, has proved
that social justice can be achieved
through peaceful change"
Leadership and Guidance.
In short, what we have done for
ourselves the rest7of the world can
do under our leadership and guild
ance.
The sort OF free society that
Franklin Roosevelt also envisaged
was, In time, threatened by another
form, dictatorship and totalitarian-
ism. To meet the threat Of that we
eventually had to 60 to war, and in
that time 1t took war to rouse us to
our responsibilities to the rest of
the world and to unite us.
There is another totalitarian
threat today. President Truman
condemned communism in terms
as bitter as those once used to con-
denim naziism. There was q striking
echo which was not lost on those
who heard him. It was ominous to
hear. Yet 1t was a call to a different
sort of contest than trial by arms Of
which the world is so sick, and the
challenge really Is greater, for the
task is harder.
He proposes to fight the Communist
idea with our democratic idea peace
fully. For that we must rally allies
To do that and to hold allies we must
convince them that our idea is best.
To prove that, we must carry on
what that other man started 16
years ago to make us the powerful,
free, prosperous Nation that we
are today.
The circle comes back TO where
1t started then. 1t comes back to
us. If we believe, and work at what
we believe, we can win. A war of
ideas can't be won with guns and
tanks and airplanes-or atomic
bombs.
