BARBEE In RACE
FOR GOVERNOR
PREACHER OF JACKSONVILLE
STATES HIS REASONS FOR
SEEKING HIGH POSITION

In announcing to citizens in
every walk of life his candidacy
for governor of the State of Flor
ida, James Barbee, of Jackson
vile, said, Il frequently hear
this statement: "A minister
should stay behind the pulpit.
This is an old piece of propagan-
Ola. Years ago the criminal ele-
ment found the ministers were
their most dangerous foes and
they started the slogan, drive
the preachers back to their pull
pits like dogs to their kennels.
ITO those who seem to know
so much about the Bible and what
minister should do, ask: Show
me one place in the Bible where
the lowly Nazarene ever hid be-
hind the pulpit. No, he spent his
time out among the people where
there was need for service, among
the hungry and sick. There are
people in Florida today who are
hungry, and conditions which are
sick. We need a man in Talla-
hasSee who is in the habit of min
istering to human needs.
'The very word minister means
to give service. A minister
should never become a politician,
but by training and ideals he is
well fitted to become a states
man.
Statements are also made
about mixing politics into re-
ligion, too. am opposed to bring
ing politics into the church, but
we certainly need to mix a little
religion into Florida politics. That
is a different thing and we should
not confuse the two issues. De-
mocracy is religion at work. We
need more religion in our poll
tics.
ministers are we'll qualified
to hold high office. Who lives
closer to the people than a min
lister does? Who knows their
needs, who is more ready to help
the poor, the needy, the hard
pressed wage-earner than is the
minister? Whom can you trust
more than a minister? Yes, I am
a minister and l am proud of it.
That is why l am candidate for
office. Florida needs a governor
who will conscientiously minister
to her needs.

SPIRITUALIST REVEALS
OLDEN DAY TREASURE
APP Feature Service

SAN DIEGO, Calf, Mar. S.
A public exhibition of old metal
crosses has directed attention to
a mystery of spiritism and buried
treasure of the California noun
tainS.
The objects were dug up be-
tween 1914 and 1924 at various To-
cations between San Luis Rey
and Bakersfield at locations spe-
Gifted by a Mrs. Parent, now
dead.
Mrs. Parent claimed clairvoy-
ant powers and directed neigh,
borS to more than 100 locations
where she said buried treasure
existed.
The search attracted the atten-
ton of the writer, Hamlin Gar
land, who made an investigation.
He says that participants related
finding gold coins and currency
valued at about $4,000, in addi-
ton to values in silver in the
crosses themselves.
Though one expert says the
crosses are of modern manufac-
ture, others see them as relics
dating back hundreds of years.

THESE GOOD SWISS
BURGHERS GET STUCK
Oy Associated Pressl

LUCERNE, Switzerland, Mar.
5.-Lucerne's thrifty voters, who
congratulated themselves on saw
ing $4,000 Swiss francs (about
$l25,000) and getting an airport
anyhow, found they had crowed
too soon.
The voters turned down a pro-
poSal to spend that much on the
civilian half of an airport at Luz
cerne after the army offered to
put up the other half for a mill
tary field.
Lucerne hotels offered to put
up the money anyhow and work
was begun on it when the Euro
pean war brought an army order
banning al civilian flying over
Switzerland.
So Lucerne has no civilian air
port, which is all right with the
hotel owners too, for the war has
kept many a foreign tourist out
of Switzerland.

THE LOWDOWN
FROM HICKORY GROVE

More and more I am leaning to
the idea that our system of schools
ought to be changed.
The idea ! been harping on, is
to have a POSTGRADUATE High
School. This school to take the
high school graduates, and keep
them for one year, before sending
them over to clutter up the Uni
versity campus.
In this one year spell, the girls
would get a Home Making course
versus how to get into the snoot-
lest sorority. And the boys would
be taught Manual Training. We
been giving our young folks too
much for the head-and too lit
tie for the hand. But it is not
their fault.
My plan would tighten up the
number going to the university as
freshmen, and who now rattle
around there for a year, aimless.
And in this school l would also
teach Babrius. Babrius is the
duck who compiled into book
form the stories of AEsop-about
400 BIC.
And when our offsprings reach
81, they will know 2 bits from 2
dollars-alSo a boot owl from a
turtle dove, on election day.
Yours with the low down,

High School Operetta
Comes March 18th

''The Ccssack Prince, a Rus
sian operetta in three acts, will
be presented, in the Key West
High School auditorium Friday
night, March Is, at 8:15 o'clock.
Music alone, written by the IA
nous Russian composer, Tschai-
kovSky, is sufficient to charm any
audience and the plot of this OPP
eretta makes it even more en-
trailing.
Directed by Professor T. B.
Klebsattel and with parts ade-
quately handled by members of
the Boys and Girls Glee Club,
this presentation promises to be
a huge success.
Gorgeous girls and stalwart
young men in exotic and colorful
Russian costumes against a ro-
mantle setting will furnish a
splendid example of what can be
produced by this enthusiastic
group of Key West High School
students.
