That men from overseas service will, from now on, take an active part in the political affairs of the city, coun- ty and state is evidenced by the fol- lowing interviews given by men who have been in active service They are based on the recent editorial in The Age Herald in reference to the part the soldier will play in politics.
 The boys have come back from over seas,' said M. H. Johnson, much broader in views and more interested in clean politics than ever before. It behooves us all to take a greater in' terest and not only form band or union between ourselves for personal interests, but also to set a standard of clean politics, by voting for and supporting men who are not swayed by graft or party scraples. This should apply to the nation as we'll as the local communities"
 ''I think" said ]. 0. Blackwell of the Hudson Car agency, and who was in the aviation branch of the service while overseas. that such organizations as the Private Soldiers and Sailors Union and the American Union of World War Veterans, are what We have needed all the way along. We have felt a need for them before. but now the need is greater than ever The United States needs general political cleaning up and We ex-service men need an or ganization that will bind us together"

Cornett 'I feel sure that the experiences of the last two years have opened the eyes of many who will take a greater and more active interest in all future de- velopmentS.
 Regimental Color Sergeant Mitchell Nunn of the 167th infantry regiment, who lives in Gadsden, said: If all can didates in the field are able men, in my opinion, the soldier or sailor should be supported. and I feel sure he will be if the policies for which he stands are indorsed by them. l do not think any soldier or sailor would vote for man inst because he had been in some branch of the service, for we who have fought for our country know how nec- essary it is to place capable men in office"
 Private Carl Estes of the S2Sth am bulance corps, 307th sanitary train of the Eighty second division, stated: 'I am heartily in favor of electing ex- soldiers and sailors to office if they are capable men. Of course the affairs of the government are far too impor- tant to place in the hands of inefficient men whether soldiers or civilians, When the candidates are all able men l think preference should be given the man who fought for this country in the world war"

 Rights in Poland

Earnest protest against the pogroms and atrocities that are being committed against the Jewish peoples of Poland. Rumania and Gallcia was voived at the mass meeting held last night at the Knesseth Israel synagogue. There was large attendance and the speakers in- cluded pr. NJ. Newfield, Rabbi l. Men dlesohn A. Leo Oberdorfer, Congressman Huddleson, F. A. Ableson and others.
 At the close of the speaking resolutions were unanimously passed protesting in the name of humanity and civilization against the outrages perpetrated on the Jews of the above countries, and urging Congress to grant to these peoples equal civil, political and religious liberty.
 Leo Oberdorfer presided and in his opening remarks read some extracts from the press anent the treatment of the Jewes in these lands. He de- clared that Polish representatives in America have tried to lay the trouble at the door of the German propagandists. but stated that the actrocines by the Poles had been fully verified~by Nathan Strauss of New York.
 Rabbi Mendelsohn, who spoke in Yid- dish, made an earnest appeal to the Jew ish people in this country to insist on equal rights being granted to all the cit izens of Poland and other countries with out distinction of race or creed.
 Dr. Newfield related several well au- thenticated incidents of the barbarous treatment of Jews in Poland and the other countries. and made stirring appeal for immediate action in bringing relief to these stricken and unfairly treated people.
 Congressman Huddlseton, who was es- pecially invited to the meeting, said that America would not unprotestingly allow the atrocities to continue, stating that President Wilson, the leader of human ity and justice, would see that no recog- milton be given to Poland unless she give ample assurance of equal treatment of all her citizens, regardless of religious belief.
 The resolutions follow:

JOE EARmAN

In company with Hon. Il. L. Wart-
mann, Hon. Joe Earman, chairman OF
the board of control, was a visitor to
0cala last Friday afternoon and Sat
quite a number Of our citizens.
Before his retirement six years
ago, Mr.. Earman was a travelling
salesman for twenty-five years, and
the friends he made then are scatter
ed along over the entire state.
Becoming prosperous as sales
man, he embarked in the newspaper
game and the experience he picked
up as salesman told him if he want
ed to make money he must be in the
vicinity where it is floating around,
so he selected Palm Beach, the win
ter playground for our men of wealth
and leisure, for his base of opera
tons, employed men gifted with the
newspaper instinct and talent, and
himself possessing literary gifts that
causes walt Mason, "K. CsaB." and
other famous newspaper scribblers to
sit up and take notice, he made it a
point to please the fancy of the win
ter tourists, and as result the Palm
Beach Post has the richest cIientage
and is one of the most successful
publications in Florida He main
tains that the rot" he doles out
daily is more valuable to the bust
ness office than the choicest literary
gems, and is read with more eager
ness.
The Post is equipped with four of
the latest MergenthaIer machines
and one of the best make of perfect
ing presses.
The success of the Post is the fruit
and the reward of good business
Judgment and intellectual apprehen-
sion, and as chairman of the board Of
control Mr.. Earman has adopted the
same policies, and is now winning
iaurels from those who looked upon
his appointment with misgivings.
He goes about armed with bouquet
OF flowers, and gives them out to his
friends and enemies alike. He re,
fuses to be at quits with any one.
and fine that good -natured reparte,
the same as soft answer, turneth
away wrath.
There was a song that became verv
popular number of years ago, enti-
tied, mot for Joe." but that was be-
fore Joe Earman entered upon the
Held of journalism, and took over the
board of control.

Burton ". johnson was born in Ma
ricn county near the line OF Lake
some twenty years ago. His father at
that time lived ON his grove four
miles from Altoona. He later built
a most beautiful home at Altoona
and moved his family there. There
is no finer family in Florida than Mr..
and Mrs. T. F. Johnson of Altoona
father and mother of the champion,
and their interesting sons and daugh-
tiers. The father and mother and
most of the sons and daughters are
active members OF the Baptist church
at Altoona. Dewey, brother OF the
champion, was recently ordained a
deacon of the church. DR.. S. B. Rog-
ers of Jacksonville, secretary Bap-
fist state board of mission, officiat-
ing The family is justly proud OF
the beautiful medal won by Burtman
and recently had it on exhibition to
personal friends of the family. 1t is
a most beautiful medal and bespeaks
the splendid result of physical train
ing from a parent tree of physical
fitness which is prominent in the en-
tire family.
Johnson is the first southern boy to
win a championship in wrestling and
thus scores for the Southland an hon
or to southern manhood that will go
down in history after the young man
has lived out a. reasonable number of
days and gone to his long home. -,
While in the service of his country
as soldier Johnson fought three
bouts in England, two in the National
Sporting club, London. He won two
out of the three, record, had it been
known in Birmingham that would
have put him on the mat already her
aided and known. But Johnson's
personality is rather inclined to the
quiet, unassuming class. is not
looking for notoriety but victory. But
he must understand that true noto-
riety follows the real victor.
1t is to be hoped that Florida will
give to the champion on his summer
vacation fitting reception.

COL. BOB DAVIS ON TALLAHAS-
SEE BooMLETS

In recent issue OF the Gainesville
Sun Col Bob Davis gives his opinion
Of the political boomlets born at Tai
lahassee among the legislators.
He says:
I'VE don't mean that the good old
city son the red hills of Leon is boom
ing. That is not the idea. The old
city is there, always growing little,
Always improving a, little. but it, is
not booming.
I'VE are talking about the 'booms'
always started there at every session
of the legislature. Political states, if
you please. We have never known It
to fail at single session. The old
est inhabitant has never known it to
fail.
ut never gets anywhere.
"It dies natural death always. It
may be because it is born a feeble
child. 1t is good thing, however,
especially for young man, to be-
come member Of the legislature. It
gets him acquainted with lots of peo-
pie. 1t is a good school. To be a
member Of the legislature is an hon
or for any man.
Most men who have risen to high
er honors and greater distinctions
have been members Of their state
legislatures.
"But never rely on a boom tstarted
or slate made there. They get
smashed"

and specifying every number, 1t can
be said that all the children taking
part played well and there was moth
ing but praise from the congregation
of people whom they delighted so
splendidly.
Miss Mamie Perry was presented
with diploma from the eighth grade
Rev. w. L. Martin making the pres
entation in few but appropriate
words.
ALI who took part and made the
play and entertainment success de-
serve credit for their untiring efforts.
Miss Billingsley is a most persistent
worker and a fine instructor. She
has given universal satisfaction here.
The only regret is that all the avail
able children in the community wers
not in the school every day so that
we could have had a better average
and better salary next year. Sew
eral we're out for various reasons.
Some went away to the higher
schools
There is no question that if we
want a good school here or anywhere
else in the rural districts it is up to
the patrons of such schools to get
busy, and do it now There is ten
dency to build up the larger schools
at the expense of the smaller. If
the thing keeps going the smaller
schools will go out of business. There
is no reason why Pine should not
have good school, one of the hest
rural schools in the county The day
has been when we had just such a
school here. Who will stand firm
on this principle that we have as
good country school as the county
can afford? Don't all speak at once
but for the sake of our children
come across, neighbors, and let's get
together on this proposition and fight
for the. best. Will you, or will you
not?
Few people in this state know that
a Florida boy now holds the national |
gold medal for the Amateur Athletic |
union of the United States as cham
pion wrestler of the 150-pound class. |

Johnson of Altoona, Lake county

tournaments held in that city under
the auspices of the Birmingham Y. M.

ed and almost unheard of in the great
