means O. contact with the outside
world. All this is simply another way
CT saying that every man needs the
cooperation of other human beings
in order to promote his own welfare.
Your chamber of commerce is the
latest and highest development of the
cooperative principle.
''As you maintain your life itself
largely through the city or community
in which you live, your prosperity
S almost wholly dependent on the
city's or community's welfare. You
know of many ways in which this
welfare could be promoted. A spirit of
greater confidence in our city and
our neighbors, a willingness to work
unselfishly for the best interests of
The community as whole, and love
of progress among our citizenship
would in themselves accomplish Won
ders. These things can best be brought
about through the combined action
of a number of men-through your
chamber of commerce. You can call
to mind many advantages which Am
CIRCUS and Sumter county needs and
which can be readily secured if our
people will only get together stick
together and WORK together
"The really great need for your
chamber of commerce is not the oD-
portunity it offer to get more from
your community; it is the chance it
presents for giving more to it. Have
you considered how great is the debt
you owe the city in which yod live?
Americas is producing or is the means
of bringing to you practically every
thing that makes life worth living.
This is tremendous service. You can
pay for it in part at least by working
with other public spirited citizens for
the best interests of Americas and
Sumter county, Any citizen who re-
fuses to do this or to support those
civic organizations which have for
their object the walfare of our COM
munity can be compared only to the
parasite whose sole ambition is to
stuff his own gluttonous paunch on
the life blood of others.
THE success of any chamber OF
commerce depends very largely on the
time and energy the members indi-
vidually give to it. And in order that
the best results may obtain along this
line it is essential that a few men OF
strength and influence in the com
munity-men with the necessary tao

The Miami Herald is a fine paper,
but it is dreadfully inconsistent about
some things. The other day it was
tummyaking at the prospect-which
never existed-of America sending an
army to Asia Minor to defend the
Armenians. In Saturdays issue, it
was tummyaking because the league
of nations would prevent America
from interfering in favor of Egypt
against Great Britain. In heavens
name, why should the United States
Interfere against Great Britain in
favor of Egypt? The Egyptians, for
twenty-four centuries didn't know
what liberty was until the British
took the heels of the Turk and the
Arab off their necks thirty-seven
years ago. Since then they have had
more individual freedom, better pro-
lection for their rights and lighter
taxes than they had under their own
kings three thousand years ago. The
Herald doesn't want US to help an OPP
pressed people against the friends of
Gun enemies. butt it wants US to be-
friend a people that needs no friends
against our friends. Sometimes here
lately we think somebody has succeed
ed in putting over a little German
propaganda on the Herald. One. thing
is certain. and that is that if the peo-
pie that are continually trying to stir
up America against Britain. and who
by the way are pretty much the peo-
pie who three years ago were throw
ing fits at the idea of American boys
being killed to defend France. sue
ceeded in irritating America and Brit
ain into war, they will have ten times
as many American boys killed as the
Germans could kill, and will moreover
not only grievously hurt America but
Americas best friend and staunchest
ally and in1ict blows on the worlds
greatest champions of freedom and
civilization that they will not recover
from in century-during which time
"kultur" and barbarism will have full
sweep.

HISTORY

Our esteemed contemporary the
Miami Herald comes back at US about
+ lorida, and says we do not know any
thing about history, and quotes Rid
path to prove that Spain joyfully sold
Florida to the United States. The
Herald says: 1T is true that during
the Spanish occupation General Jack
son invaded the state in his war
against the Seminoles of Alabama
and took possession of st. Marks and
Pensacola. But his acts were dis
avowed by the United States govern
ment and the general was withdrawn
from the territory. According to Rid
rath, the Spanish king, believing that
it would be too costly to protect Flor
lea from the British and others, pro-
posed to cede the territory to the
United States, and in 1919 a treaty
by which the whole Of Florida and the
Outlying islands were coded to the
United States"
Now here is what Ridpath says:
"1 he enemies of Gen. Jackson con-
demned him in unmeasured terms, but
the president and Congress sustained
him. A resolution of censure intro
duced into the House of Represen-
tatives was voted down by a large
majority. Seeing that the defense of
such province would cost more than
it was worth, the Spanish monarch
proposed to cede the territory to the
United States"
You will observe by this that in
Sfaod Of Pidpofb eoxy;po tho ao+e Of
Jackson were disavowed by his gov
erDment, that the president and Con-
gress sustained him, and the infer
eace is that Spain preferred selling
Florida to the United States for a
comparatively small sum of money to
fighting for it. The Herald says the
Spanish king believing it would be
too costly to protect Florida from the
| British and Others" but the British
gave Florida back to Spain in 1888
and made no attempt to take it again;
iii fact, Britain knew that an attempt
t; take Florida would bring on war
with the United States. President
Monroe, under whose administration
Florida passed into che possession of
the United States in 1921, announced
the Monroe Doctrine in 1923, and the
said doctrine received the approval of
the British government thru it's prime
minister Charming soon after. The
American edition of the Encyclopedia
britannica, probably the most accu-
tate and impartial history every pub
hshed, says: "In 1919, a treaty for the
cession of Florida to the United
States was concluded at Washington,
and in 1921 was reluctantly ratified
by the king of Spain"
Now, Friend Herald, who knows so
much about history?

The little controversy about wheth-
Ell the ex-service men should wear or
not wear their uniforms Tuesday
seems to have been based on one SEN
tence in the invitation to attend,
which said, "The boys are not asked
tc wear uniforms" This meant exact
'y what it said, which was that the
boys should wear their uniforms If
they wanted to, but didn't have to if
they didn't. The reason was that if
Tuesday is a hot day, the uniforms
may be uncomfortable, and some of
the men might prefer to wear civil
ian clothes anyhow, and so they are
t" wear what they please. Don't let
any ex-service man worry about his
uniform. Let him wear what he
pleases-if he was one of Uncle Sans
boys he will be welcome in a hickory
stripe shirt and blue overalls.

There is more truth than poetry in
the following old story, which the
Polk County Record is helping on
probably its twentieth journey: ga
preacher came at newspaper man in
thi sway: You editors do not tell the
truth. If you did you could not
live; your newspapers would be fail
ures.' The editor replied: You are
right, and the minister who will at
all times and under all circumstances
tell the whole truth about his mem
bers, alive or dead, will not occupy
his pulpit more than one Sunday, and
teen he will find it necessary to leave
town in a hurry. The press and the
pulpit go hand in hand with white
wash brushes and pleasant words,
magnifying little virtues into big
ones. The pulpit, the pen, and the
gravestone are the great saint-making
triumvirate'"

Florida lost one of it's bravest,
brightest men when Claude L'Engle
died at his home in Jacksonville one
day last week. Mr.. L'Engle did the
state great service when he estab-
lished a newspaper which exposed
and denounced corruption and mis-
management in Florida public affairs
He was elected congressman at large
by great majority in 1912. and tried
to be as brave and useful as a states
man as he had been as a journalist
but i'll health crippled him. The re.
apportionment of the state in 1913
was done by the politicians principally
with the idea of beating him; he be-
ing assigned a shoe-string district
which included mostly counties un-
friendly to him. 1t took all the small
fry politicians and some of the big
ones in the state to defeat him. Most
of the time of late years he has re-
manned in his home in Jacksonville
held down by a painful malady which
he bore bravely. Marion county was
one of his strongholds in 1912. and
the Star held his banner high. May
eternal peace be with the soul of q
brave and brilliant man.
