To the Editor of the ocala Banner
Standing at the depot and seeing
several passenger trains come anu go
Nth their loads of humanity
eager expectant looks going
and coming to meet friends or reia-
tives. or to visit the old home down
ON the farm. one is reminded of their
childhood home, and tender memoir
les of the past, memories, indeed
are the hearts to which Christmas
brings a brief season of enjoyment
How many families, whose members
have been scattered far and wide, IN
the restless struggle of life, are there
reunited and meet again in that
happy state of companionship ana
good will, which is a source of pure
delight, and one so far removed from
the cares or the world that the re-
ligious belief of the most c vilized
nations. and traditio Is of the savage
alike. number it among the first
lows of a future condition of ex-
istence.
How many old recollections and
svupatbies does Christmas time
awaken!
1 am now far distant from the spot
at which year after year we met on
that day a happy family. Many
hearts that Throbbed so gaily there
have ceased to beat; and many eyes
that shone so brightly there have
ceased to glow; the hands we grasp
ed have grown cold; and yet the old
home, the dining room and parlor,
the merry voices and smiling faces,
the most trivial circumstances con-
nected with the happy meetings,
crowd upon my mind at each re-
currence of. the season, as it had
been but yesterday. Happy, happy
Christmas, that can win us back to
the delusion of our childhood DAYS,
transporort US through many miles
away to the old home down on the
farm. WANDERER.

CHRISTIANS.


From Sundays Daily
There were shepherds abiding in
the field, keeping watch over their
flock by night. And the angel OF the
Lord came upon them; and the angel
said, Fear not; for behold, | bring
YOU good tidings of great joy, which
shall be to all people," And there
was with the angel a multitude OF
the heavenly host, praising God and
saying, "Glory in the highest, and
on earth peace, good will toward
men,"
The Ocala Banner repeats the glad
tidings TO its readers. In the cele-
bration of this festal season it hopes
its full significance will be under
stood and appreciated and the day
will be one of JOY and gladness.

We notice by the Barlow Courier
Informant that our friend, Mr.. Alder
us Vogt, the "Duke of Dunnellon,"
the man who first discovered phos-
plate in Florida and made fortunes
for himself and others and built up a
great industry in the state out of the
find; a pleasant gentleman and one
of the most energetic of a great COM
mcnwealth's army of energetic citi-
zens, has moved to Barlow from
Marion county and will there engage
in the real estate business. Marion
county's loss is Polk county's gain.
Here is to him: May he increase his
fortune as he will surely advance the
interests of his new home, helping as
few may to build up the waste places
of fair Polk and adding increase to
the progressive little city of Barlow

Hon. w. T. Bundick, a famous
temperance lecturer, visited Ocala
and spoke in the Methodist church
Monday night. Owing to the fact
that there were so many Christmas
festivities on hand for that night, the
audience was not so large as it other
wise would have been. Those who
the lecture enjoyed it very
much.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS GREAT
PRoBLEM.

Why is so much said about freight
rates? Does it arise from hostility to
the transportation companies? 1t
does not so occur to us. We feel
quite sure, indeed, that majority of
the people have a most friendly feel
ing for our railroads. They recog-
nize the fact that they are part of
our civilization. They are cognizant
that our railroads have been the
chief factors in our industrial devel-
opment. They have brought the peo-
ple of remote sections in bonds of
very close relationship. If they were
destroyed tomorrow we should feel
that we had refrigerated a thousand
years and were re-living in the dark
ages"
Mr.. E. P. Bacon, of Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, chairman fthe executive
committee of the interstate commerce
law convention, recently held in st.
Louis, in an article printed in the
North American Review for January,
1902, spoke as follows on the subject
of our transportation problem:
There Is no element in the economic world
so pervasive as the cost OF transportation. 1t
constitutes an integral part of the cost of every
article of TODD and clothing used by every man,
woman and child. and of all materials that
enter into the construction and furnishing of
habitatiou for man, the heating and lighting of
such habitation, aud, in fact, of everything that
is employed for the susteuance and comfort and
gratihcation OF man. To him who ultimately
meets 1t in the price of what he consumes, it
comes as mysteriously as the wind which
'bloweth where il listeth, and none can tell
whence II cometh and whittier it goeth.' 1t is
collected as silently and as uuconsciously to the
actual payer as the customs duties of the gov.
eminent, the levying Of which is the subject of
deliberate and sharply contested legislation,
over which the entire country is thrown into
parcxysm every few years"
The figures furnished by the statis-
teal bureau of the treasury depart
ment of the United States show that
the import duties collected during the
three years from 1897 to 1900 inclu-
sive, aggregated S5S1, OO1, 542 and the
freight earnings of the railroads of
the country for the same period ag-
gregated s., $40, OBS, 2S7.
So it is seen at a glance how init
mately and enormously our railroads
are connected with orr every day
affairs.
They lay tribute on every household
and on every individual, but these
exactions would be borne with
patience and without a murmur pro-
vided they were levied on all sections
and communities alike.
1t is the inequalities of the exac-
tions that hurt and destroy some
communities while they build up
others.

Why the Great Powers have failed to compel

Since the middle OF October Japan has consid-
