Yanks Do Some Hitting.
The Yankees lost some close
games in their slump, but they
played better yesterday than at
any time since they were in the
midst of their 18-game winning
streak. Their 13-hit total was
the highest since June IT. And
Vic Raschi pitched like a winner

So far this year, Brooklyn's

much wrong with Carl Erskine's

THIS ROCK OF OURS

The first faint rumblings OF
what promises to become political
thunder can be heard around town
now. The groundwork for the
coming City elections, is being
laid and it consists of yelled III.
mors, bit of character smearing,
and suggestions that are more or
less trial balloons to test the voter:
opinions.
It might be well for the public
to bear in mind that most Of the
talk they hear nowadays is usual
ly based on personal spite and has
little relation to the truth. Il is
too early to start judging candi
dates on the basis of rumor.
Political Situation
It is easy enough to blame our
local politicians for everything
that is wrong in Key West. The
fact remains that the voters are
the ones who are really response.
bic for conditions. John Doe" or
Richard Roe" might be angry
about civic matters but the anger
is caused by their not being the
ones to benefit. Until the public
is ready to consider the welfare
of the town as a whole instead
of its own immediate selfishness,
conditions are not going to i'm.
prove.
There Is an old saying that "a
new broom sweeps clean" and the
equally old retort, ''a new broom
gets dirty, too" In almost every
Key West election there is an at
titude amongst many voters that
the only way to solve our pro-
blems is to put a new group of
officials at the helm of our govern
ment. Such a practice might be
helpful at times but it can also
be injurious.
Generally speaking. our current
City Commissioners have done q
good job. If you wish to consider
them as broom, you might per-
haps find a few spots of dirt here
and there but almost invariably
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1953-02-17

these spots were caused by the
pressure of selfish individuals or
scheming groups. This latter situa.
ton is what is hurting our town.
Every political office holder ID
vulnerable to pressure. In q town
where the citizenry l. wide-awake
to its responsibilities. this pres
sure usually takes the form q
guidance toward better conditions.
Here in Key West however. the
general public Is too often willing
to sit back and expect its officials
to be supermen always able to
distinguished between right and
wrong pressures. No wonder our
town is often the target Of sraftert
and schemers!
Worid.wide Conditions
The problems we face there with
regard to respectable, "within-the.
law" crooks Is no different than
anywhere else in the world. Our
City Fathers and various officials
have done splendidly considering
the problems they have been up
against. But they viii do better
when they know they have the full
support of all the little people.
As said previously, the political
groundwork is now being laid for
the coming elections. Much Of il
win be In the form Of trial ball
looms, suggestions made in an eff
fort to determine the attitude Of
the voter. If this attitude indicates
a determination for honesty in our
future government, we win get
just that. Otherwise, q lackadaisi-

NOT CONVINCED


Editor, The Citizen:
/ have been thinking seriously
Of writing "a Handbook for Rap
lists and Potential Rapists." This
book would clearly outline which
women should be raped and which
shouldn't be raped. Ny authority
for this information would be none
other than the Sheriff Of Monroe
County, John 1.-THE Judge and jury"
Spottswood.
According to Mr.. Spottswood's

] have no ideal, and that as . re-
suit Of his interview he started
to entertain grave doubts rs to her
charge Of rape. So to assuage the
pangs of his doubt, he investigated
the woman's background. And, 10
and behold, his doubts were con-
firmed, the pangs assuaged, the
woman unfortunate wench) had .
record: She was an alcoholic, had
been suspectedt?) Of being pros
titute. and had once operated q
vehicle without the owners con-
sent. These were her crimes a.
gainst humanity. So, therefore,
and it follows reasoned our sher-
iff) her charge of rape was un-
substantiated.
But Il ask myself this question:
suppose the woman's background
had been as pure rs popsicle
juice? Would charge Of having
been raped appear valid as reck-
oned by the halo Of her noble past?
What would have been the reac-
tons Of Mr.. Spottswood under
those circumstances? Would his
pangs Of doubt still be unas-
suagedy Hm-mmm -.
So the lesson | have learned I

Or any manufacturer putting out

tear them to pieces. because here
they are protecting their children

"But they don't seem to realize
