The Star regrets Mr.. Ben ia
MINIS withdrawal of his name as
q candidate for county commits
sioners. He has given his rea-
sons, but not all of them; the
main one being (for we inter-
viewed him. that he is a firm be-
lever in primaries, and that suf-
ficient time has not been given
the people of the district to
formulate their preferences for
candidates. In this Mr.. Benja-
min has spoken wisely, and the
Star would respectfully suggest
that the question Of a primary
be referred to orr committeeman
at tomorrow democratic club
meeting, who will present the
same at the meeting Of the coun-
ty executive committee Satur-
day, 25th. Take up the ques~
ton of primaries, refer it back to
the people of the county and let
all the candidates be named by
the same process that has pre-
vailed in the selection of candi-
dates for other county offices,
and which has been adopted in
other counties for the naming of
commissioners. There IS no need
of haste. Give the people a
change to make up their minds;
let them select their candidates,
vote for them, and whoever is the
nominee, that will settle the
question to the satisfaction of
every man entitled to vote Take
the petition for Mcleod as pub
lished in the Banner of today,

A Pioneer has Passed Away

Robertson Crutchfield was the
second son of Thomas md Ra-
chaei Crutchfield. He was born
in Wilkinson county, Ga, on May
IS, 1914 and died near Fort Val
ley, Ga, Feb. 20, 1899.
The deceased, when about
twent y-one years of age moved
with his father to Crawford coun-
ty, being among the pioneers of
that county. Soon afterward the
war with the Greek Indians was
declared. He enlisted and as
sisted in driving them from the
/ borders of his state. After this
war he returned to his home in
knoxville, Ga, and became in
terested in politics and held the
Office of sheri II several terms.
In 1889 he married Miss Mary
Anne Morgan, daughter of the
late Charles Morgan of Month
cello, Ga. Seven children were
the fruits of this union, six Of
whom be brought to Florida.
Three of these died soon after
coming to the state. OF the re-
naming three, Arson Ball died
from disease contracted IN the
Civil War, and Mrs. Charles III.
White died in Ocala in 1896. Mrs.
Joseph b. Bell is the only sur
wing child.
In 1854 he moved to Florida on
account of his wlfe's delicate
health, and for the second time
became a pioneer. OcalA was
then only a small village with
few frame buildings and log
stores.
When hostilitles with the In
dams broke out again in the fif-
ties, be served during the cam
paign as first lieutenant in Capt
Norman A. McLeOd's command.
When the Civil War broke out,
although we'll advanced in years,
he entered the Confederate scrv-
ice, acting as agent for the pur-
chase of army supplies, serving
until the end of the war.
He was a strong man, physi-
calIy and intellectually great
reader and possessed Of q remark
able memory.
His death removes one OF the
few remaining pioneers who

beaten forests and made it the |

a German authority has recently
announced the discovery of a tree in
the forests of Central India which has
most curious characteristics. The
leaves of the tree are of highly sensi-
tive nature, and so full of electricity
that whoever touches one of them re-
ceives an electric shock. 1t has very
singular effect upon magnetic needle,
and will influence it at a distance of
even seventy feet. The electrical
strength of the tree varies according
to the time of day, it being strongest
at midday, and weakest at midnight.
In wet weather it's powers disappear
altogether. Birds never approach the
tree, nor have insects ever been seen
upon it.

the Revolution and the backwoodsnen

to George HIS macaronis and handles -
Strong powers have many ways and
means to convince the world that peo-
pie they oppose are unfit for existence.
When q great nation objects to the
tyranny of some rival power it can
find many things to say in favor of
the oppressed. When. it goes to war
with the same weak people it can find
many arguments to convince the world
and console itself that such people are
not fit to live anyhow.
Yet there are those who know and
revere as an inspired document the
Declaration of American Independence,
who are sufficiently imbued with the
spirit Of republican institutions to i'm
agine at least that it is better for the
world and for humanity TO have lib
erty triumphant in Kruger than civ

EXCUSES FOR CONQUEST.

Hanna's satellites-some of them ap-
pear in the press. some in pulpits and
some in political meetings-offer three
reasons for the forcible retention of the
Philippines: First, the money there is
in imperialism; second. that Providence
guided us into it: third. that we are
into ii and can't get out.
Boiled down the paradoxical nature
of the excuse may be seen more clearly.
1t is gold. God and fate. There is no
reason in the world why we can't get
out if we want out, and with honor.
Victory viii add nothing to our fame as
fighting power. If it bring peace let
victory come and the sooner the bet
ter. But all military authorities agree
that a guerilla warfare will continue
for years and that strong garrisons will
be needed on the islands all the time TO
prevent uprisings and revolutions
There are fifty-nine other tribes when
we get through with the one in hand
and ahead of us is the bloodiest war
of all if we undertake TO enforce the
law and the constitution concerning
slavery Fate and drift may lead US
into wars like this in another hemi-
sphere. but cannot hold US there unless
we actually enjoy it and want to stay.
So far as Providence is concerned con-
questadors have ever claimed to be en-
gagged in divine work-it was the plea
of Cortez: it was Pizzarros excuse.
Victors always claim to have God on
their side and yet if the other side
should have won we ali know it would
whether or not there is money II forci-
BILE expansion we know that there is a
great deal going out and nothing COM
ing in, and that the lives already lost
in the Philippines are worth mora than
all the Islands will be for centuries 10
come.
Nor does it look consistent for US TO
advocate retention of the archipelago
from mercenary motives and at the
some time to say that God is furnishing
US this chance to make money. 1t isn't
honest; it isn't respectful; it won't do.
And for imperialists to refer to Mark
Hanna as an agent of Providence. it is
too ridiculous to be sacreligious. Men
who buy and sell the sacred institu-
lions of their country, who coerce vot-
ers and corrupt elections, who ride
rough shOd over their fellow citizens
are not TO be trusted when they dis
guise themselves as patriots and phil

at the close of the late campaign:
When 1 find a man who is trampling
the rights Of the people here, I don't
believe he is going across the ocean to
be good
