SMITHWICK TO
GET new JOB
Is Slated for appointment to
Next Vacancy on Rivers
and HarbOrs Committee.
MEANS MUCH FOR DISTRICT
Florida's Long Coastline De-
mands That This State Be
Given Representation.
(sy GEORGE II. MANNINe.)

Washington, p. c., May 16.-Con-
gresham John Henry" Smithwick
has been selected by the Democratic
committee on committees of the house
to fill the next vacancy that occurs
on the house rivers and harbors
committee, it was learned today.
This appointment, which will prob
ably occur early in the session con-
vening in December, win be of i'm
mense Importance to the Fourth
Florida district. because Of it's long
coast line and the Importance of the
harbors along the West Florida coast.
"The matter of appointing Mr..
Smithwick to the rivers and harbors
committee was taken up at the re-
cent meeting OF the committee on
committees, and it was tentatively
decided to give the Florida congress-
map the very next vacancy said
Congressman Charles Crisp, of Geor-
gia, leading member of the COM
mittee on committees today.
I'VE decided to this because Mr..
Smithwick has been very attentive to
his duties in the house and the gen.
eral proceedings of that body, and
also because Florida with its 1900
miles of coast line, more than any
other state in the union, should have
a representative on the rivers and
11arbors committee. Florida has not
had member on this committee since
Mr.. Sparkman, of Tampa, was de-
feated four years ago. Mr.. Sparkman
was on the committee twenty years
and for the last four years Of his ser
vice was chairman of the COM
mittee."
The committee is all full up now
with many applications for member
ship, but a vacancy is expected to
occur in December. Mr.. Smithwick's
appointment to this committee will
put him in excellent position to care
for the needs of the West Florida
harbors, like Pensacola, st. Andrews
Bay, Apalachico1a and other harbors.
He will team up well with Senator
Fletcher, who is on the commerce
committee of the senate, which han
dies the rivers and harbors bill in
the senate. Between Senator. Fletcher
and Mr.. Smithwick, Florida's river
and harbor needs should be well
cared for. Mr.. Fletcher was chairman
of the committee from 1912 to 1913
when the Democrats were in control
of congress.

SENIORS HEAR
CLASS SERMON
Baccalaureate Is Delivered by
DIR. A. S. Moffett at First
Presbyterian Church..
TALKS ON CHARACTER
Tells Girls and Boys About to
Graduate That They Have
Opportunity to Serve.

Taking as his theme character and
the threshold Of the broader life, DIR
A. S. Moffett delivered the baccalaure-
ate sermon to the seniors of Pensacola
High school yesterday morning at the
IL o'clock service at the First Presby-
terian church. The seniors formed in
line and marched into the church in
a body, while at the organ Miss Laney
played march.
Hold Thou My Hand" a baritone
solo, was sung by Mr.. Edwards be-
fore the sermon. In the choir were w.
S. Garfield, H. /. Seaburg, Mrs. II. S.
Brown and Miss Vera Kellar.
Character makes you what you are
said the pastor, land a good name
is rather to be chosen than great
riches" He told the seniors that they
had reached the threshold of the
broader life of manhood and woman
hood; that bigger responsibilities would
be shouldered by them.
you have the privilege of chosing
your path; of willing to face the world
as Christian and upright citizen, or.
failing to grasp the bigger things of
life, you may join the thronging
crowds that are flowing down the
easier stream of life's highway"
High ideals and tenacity of spirit
would be the guardians of a life of
and happiness. said the
preacher, and ideals form the basic
Foundation of character. What a man
sows, that shall he also reap" he
warned, "and the school boy and girl
going into the world of business and
bigger things would make good If their
ideals were high and they had given
their hearts to God"

Londonderry Is Scene of First
Police Murder in Ulster Since
Crime Wave Started
BATTLE ROYAL STAGED
Police, Armed With Carbines,
Charge Sim Feiners and
Force Them to Disperse

/ Belfast, May 16.-Londonderry ex-
! perienced night of terror Saturday,
part of the city being for hours at the
mercy OF riotous mobs. Sergeant Den
mis- Moroney, chief OF the special Grim
inal department of the city was killed.
Londonderry thus gains the unenviable
reputation of being the scene of the
first police murder in Ulster since the
opening of the assassination campaign
| in January, 1919. Three other persons
were wounded
After minor disturbances early in
the night i'll feeling between the Sim
feiners and the Loyalists famed up
and at 10 o'clock the air was thick
with bottles, stones and other missiles
and revolvers were freely discharged.
Forty-e eight policemen armed with car
bines arrived and persuaded the Loyal-
lists to retire to their quarters, but had
TO charge and scatter the Sim Feiners,
Dublin, May 16.-Scores of men in
this city are ''on the run" which. i'm
the parlance of the land, means that
the police or military hold warrants
Tor their arrest, yet they go about the
streets unmolested by policemen.
sim Feiners here, and incidentally
lew men will admit they are members
OF That organization, say that the po-
lice are afraid to arrest one of their
members on the streets because a
crowd collects, often shots are fired
and usually the prisoner is rescued. 1t
is at night and at home that they are
in danger of arrest. The police do not
admit they are afraid to make an ar
rest in public but say they dislike TO
create scene where many people may
gather quickly.
One of the runners" confided some
OF his troubles to a newspaper man.
He is 80 years of age. has a wife and
children and has served several terms
as political prisoner. He said: "My
wife and kiddies are getting rather
lred OF the suspense of not knowing
whether L am coming home or going to
jail. have four places where / sleep.
IL is only at infrequent and irregular
intervals that / go home and then
never to sleep in a bed. / roll up in
a blanket on a couch or floor partly
dressed. IL they come for me, which
they have several times, I get out Of
the house and they find no evidences
that have been there. I do not have
to lay out along a hedge or hide behind
4 tree as long as / might if they knew
had been there and insigated a
search.
This is only an outline of the sort
Of life many of us are leading these
lays. We all follow about the same
system in which much is left to chance
out it really has kept many of rs out
IF Jail for intervals, at least"
This informant said nothing would
suit him but an Irish republic and ne
would fight for it as long as he lived.

POLITICS HAS
fine MEANING
But City Rearing and Statecraft
Oftentimes Forgotten by
Dishonest Office Seekers
(By LUCKY BALDWIN,

Politics.
The word comes from the Greek
Politikos, meaning city rearing OF
state-c craft. To many it has come to
signify an end and not means.
Politics should be the highest pur-
suit Of every citizen. Office holders
should be the best and strongest men
in the community.
We seek the best men we can to
handle our private business affairs.
We watch them jealously. We know
daily what they do and why. We
suggest ways for Improvement. We
hold conferences in which mutual trust
is paramount.
But in our public life, how often
we put incompetent men in office!
How often we neglect our duty Of
watchfulness! And when we awake to
the realization that crooked deals have
been put over we blame the office
holders and not ourselves.
Politics
A dirty business, we say, and fail
to blame ourselves that it is some
times so.
Do we lack courage to speak when
men in office do wrong?
Are we to become a race of
towards?
Is the pulpit the only place where
the truth may be spoken?
For shame that we should permit the
idle patter of professional office
seekers control our decisions
Let us guard our county, our state
and nation. Take the ballot as it ap-
pears today. Study it, and If just and
upright men are not candidates for
office, let us find such men and en-
courage them to enter.
And when we scan the list of can
didates, let us remember that most
Of them aer such as we ourselves are
They are citizens. They work each
day for their daily bread. They are
married, have homes and rear fam
lilies. Because some of them are bad
let us not judge all to be so.
We have been misled by the cry
that politics is rotten" We have not
watched the cause for public acts.
Let us be just.
Pardon me If I am insistent.
Turn to the specimen ballot on an
other page. Look through the list of
candidates.
Are they not such men as you and L?
Some have failings. Some are bad,
you say. |
But look again. Do you not find,
seeking every office, men who are
honest. Men who have lived long
and honorably in this community?
Remember to be charitable. Re
that though some men IN
public office are weak and corrupti-
BILE, most are upright and honest.
AS I look down the list of candidates
for office in Escambia county l am
because see that for every |
office some honest man is candl-
date. Some who are weak may pc
elected, but the people of this county
will choose more wisely in most cases
and a majority OF the public offices
will be held by upright men.
The same blood which has carried
freedom and justice to every land ana
every cline, found nowhere more pure
than in the Sunny South, will not fail.
Social strife may threaten. Dis
sention may flare up, but in the end
the sturdy, steady, justice-loving
Anglo Saxon blood will tell. Feace
will come, and domestic tranquility,
and our people shall prosper as the
,raen hav tree. |
