A LETTER FROM Mr.. LESTER

The case Of the state VS.. G. A. Car
michael has been dismissed. not for a
lack of evidence but simply because
the victory was so overwhelmingly in
favor of the "wets" that the purpose
for which said arrest was had could
not be advanced by a prosecution. It
is admitted that this violation was
practiced by more than one in Ocala
and apparently throughout the county
Owing to the punishment being only
a nominal fine. parties who have in
terest at stake do not hesitate to take
advantage of this particular clause in
the statute.
For the benefit of those who took
offense at my article in Mondays Star,
I desire to say. now that the election
is over. and l am among those num-
bered in the defeat, that whatever I
said or did was prompted by a desire
to promote what 1 conceived to be for
the best interest of the county The
charges I made were for the purpose
of enlightening the voter, and not for
personal qualification. l bore no one
malice prior to the election. and now
have only the kindest regards for
those who conscientiously opposed the
dry cause. Sincerely.

While the fire is a terrible blow to

Mr.. James Sims. the successful
stock grower on the old Arms place.
in the southern part OF the county. on

funeral Of Mr.. Andrew Mcbride. one Of
the pioneer settlers Of Orange Springs.
The deceased Was over 20 years of
age and came to the springs from
Belleville, Ills over fifty years ago.
He was twice married. BY his first
wife he had a son, who is DR. Andrew
Mcbride OF Holder. His second wife
was Miss Sims, q niece Of Mr.. James
Sims. whom he married some twen-
ty odd years ago. and who survives
him. The deceased was a most esti-
mable man and a citizen whom that

GOOD ADVICE

1t is reported that as a result of the
insurance investigation that thousands
of people are allowing their policies
TO lapse. This. of coure. is a great
mistake. The revelations recently
made show much mismanagement.
which has unduly increased expenses.
incidentally they tend to show that
the cost Of insurance has been made
too high by placing the loading" at a
figure to cover the heavy expenses.
But there has been nothing elected to
show that any of the companies af-
fected have not had sufficient assets to
meet all their policies when they fall
due. Instead of deficit there is a
large surplus. The complaint is that
the surplus is too large. forming a
temptation for extravaganza i'm man.
agement When this management is
reformed there will be still more
money available, either to pay large
dividends or to reduce rates. Those
who allow their policies to lapse will
lose what they have paid. or a large
part of ii. and if they take out other
insurance will take it at a greater age
and correspondingly higher rates.
From the beginning the newspapers
have advised their readers not to al
low their policies to lapse. but the
distrust has become so great that
many appear unwilling to take this
advice. In this they are making a Ia
mentable and costly mistake.-EX-
change.

sanitary system, the construction of
plant and the purchase of supplies, 1t
may well be doubted whether the COM
mission would have been discharging
its duty in withholding supervisory
control.
Delays Not Due to Neglect.
1t is doubtless true that there have
been undue delays in the furnishing of
what was needed. for sanitary pur-
poses on the isthmus, but I venture to
think that this is due rather to the in
herent clumsiness of the commission
as an executive body than to the neg
lect or wilful non-action of any MEM
Der of that board. There must be some
restraint for purposes of economy upon
expenditures, by an executive who has
in mind the total expenditures and OBJ
legations being incurred. To allow
each department to expend what in its
judgment is necessary will certainly
lead to extravaganza and waste. The
remedy for the delays which may have
occurred here are, 1t seems to me, to
be found in q Encouragement OF the
commission with a new distribution of
powers and the comforting of the exec
utive on one, or ut the most, not more
than three members of the commission.
with a general supervisory power in
the commission as body.
With your permission I will submit
in a day or two plan for the better
carrying on of the work of the COM

judicial observation needed to make q
report valuable to the government. 1t
is true that he WAS not charged with
the duty of making such a report and
that he was appointed to be commits
sioner to assess value of real estate.
Nevertheless when he assumed to
make report on sanitary conditions at
your request as secretary Of war, he
was under obligation to speak with
care and justice on so important a
subject and to observe the proprieties
as to it's publication. Judging from
your report 1t appears that the chief
difficulties that have arisen have come
from the inherent faultiness Of the
