WHAT FREE ALCOHOL MEANS
TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
II Will Largely Supplement Kerosene,
Gasoline and Naphtha.

Denaturized alcohol. which was
placed on the free list by congress late
ly, is alcohol mixed with a sufficient
quantity of wood alcohol or other ma
terials or mixtures TO destroy its use
as a beverage or basis for drinks or
medicinal purposes. 1t can be made
from any grain, the refuse of sugar
beet factories, potatoes. fruits. cane
and cassaVa. Grain alcohol now pays a
tax Of $2.07 a gallon. Denaturized alco-
h0l will pay no tax. It's advocates eX-
pect that ii can be manufactured and
sold as low as 81 a ton. One bushel of
corn, costing not more than 40 cents.
viii make five gallons of alcohol. Illu-
minating oil costs from IA to 16 cents
a gallon, and denaturized alcohol can
be manufactured to sell at from to 10
cents a gallon.
The first bill for denaturized alcohol
was introduced in the house by Rep
resentative Murdoch, of Kansas, who
was elected on a platform of Red
headed men are needed in Congress.
The advocates of denaturized alcohol
expect that it will revolutionize heat
ing lighting and power generation.
They expect it will give the farmers a
new and better market for grains, sug-
ar beets, cane and other products from
which alcohol can be made. They also
expect it to:
Supplant gasoline and naththa in
generating power for automobiles,
launches and small engines.
Supplant kerosene as an illuminant.
because it does not vitiate the air and
there is less danger of explosions.
Cheaper naphtha, gasoline and illu-
oils.
Cheaper paints, varnisheS and per-
fumery.
Increase the manufacture end sale
of alcohol lamps and chatting dishes
Cheaper the cost of alcohol used in
the arts.

The people of Florida are to be con-
graduated upon the recent instruction
OF the general land office, United
States government, for an extensive
reservation in this state, to be set
aside as forest reserve. The manner
in which the once magnificent forests
of Florida have been demolished by
certain industries for personal profit
for the past few years is deplorabIe.
The Sun does not wish to be under
stood as opposing any industry, as the
strong arm of labor and industry is
what makes the country; but, with
many others, it does object to the mu-
tilation of our trees under certain d.
mansions. which has been aud is vet
being done. These trees should be pro-
tected by law. and the result would be
the protection of our forests to the ex-
tent that they would not be Iayed bare
by the woodsman's ax.-Gainesville

The Union Sunday School Picnic.

Nearly all Ocala attended the Sun
day school picnic at Lake Weir Thurs
day Four or five hundred must have
taken advantage of the opportunity and
all had a glorious time" Some st@olled
under the shades of the outrageous
oaks, some walked along the beauti-
full shore; some sailed in boats on the
lovely bosam of the waters. and all en-
jOyed a plunge in its pellucid depths.
The dinner was not overlooked. and
there was an abundance for ALL
The excurSionists did not get back
until about half-past eight o'clock.
The day was all TO the good.

The Sweet Potato.

The Times is encouraged in its adj
vocacy of the cultivation OF the sweet
potato. by an item, republished yes
terday, stating that an Alachua coun-
ty man had received returns of abour
$3.50 per acre from a -welve-acre field
of the esteemed succulent. The returns
were net profit and came from another
state, Georgia. Eighteen hundred dol
lars make a'pretty good rate of pay
for a whole farm, not TO speak of mere
ly sweet potato patch. Plant potatoes
Now is the time TO be sure the slips
will grow.-Tampa Times.

Hon. Sid Bowie.

The Greensboro (Ala.) Beacon speaks
as follows of a gentleman we'll known
II Ocala:
The unexpected will occasionally
happen. Congressman Bowie of the
Fourth district of Alabama startled
his constituency last week by amour
cling that he would not ask - be re-
turned to congress-in other words,
he is actually going TO give up an
office without having TO be put out.
These sort of occurrences are SO very
seldom that they are worthy of note
and excite comment"

The Eagle on the Mountain Heights.

The Eagle on his mountain height,
Beneath the eastern sky
Securely views the source of light
With bold and fearless eye.
And, if absorbed in glory's blaze,
He bends a downward view,
Earth seems to his distant gaze,
Minute, and cherries too.
Thus on the mountain of faith and
prayer,
Jehova's live is seen;
Sure vision strengthened gaze there,
Without a veil between.
Then dim is every joy compared
With bliss that neN or cl1ys:
And light the sorrow each has shared.
Compared with heavenly joys.

Is the South A-comin?

The Atlanta News says that Sena-
tor j. P. Taliaferro, of Florida is the
only millionaire from the south in the
United States senate. This senator is
a native of Virginia, and an eV-cod-
federate soldier. who came TO Florida
soon after the civil war. He made his
fortune in lumber, and in banking en-
terprises. II West Virginia Is counted
as southern state. the south has a
mufti-millionaire in the senate, the
Hon. Stephen B. Elkins, who is 0ne
of the senator's from that state. His
colleague. Senator Scott. is also rich
man. Is the south a-comin? Keeping

sTRoBHAR WILL FACE
HIS AccUSERS.
Wires That "No Power on Earth Can
!. Keep Him from Meeting Face to
Face the Unjust Charges"

The friends of Capt. ]. N. Strobhar,
Line here. against whom the recent
special grand jury returned two true
bills for embezzlement of funds from
that road, were gratified yesterday at
the information that he would come to
Gainesville at once and face the
charge. His enemies were equally as
founded and said they would believe
he was coming when they saw him
here. But this will not be the first
time he has disappointed the latter by
voluntarily surrendering.
friend yesterday received the fol-
lowing telegram from Capt. Strobhar,
dated New York. June g.:
"I have just wired Sheriff Fennell
that I will report at his Office as soon
as can get there. No power on earth
can keep me from meeting face to
face, the unjust charges.
~. N. STROBHAR"
The history of this case is too well
known to be reviewed. Suffice to say
that the grand jury at the regular
term of court returned no bin against
the defendant, and after that grand
jury was discharged a member thereof
reported to Judge Wills that an at
tempt had been made to bride him.
A few days after adjournment Of the
regular term of court. Judge Wills
called special term, empanelled a
new grand jury, and the same found
two true bills against Strobhar and
two against other parties for attempt
to bride a grand juror-Gainesville

The Cincinnati Enquirer, so lone
looked upon as the organ of the Ohio
democracy, appears to have hitched VI
with the Foraker ring, of which Ross
Cox is shining light, for it unstint-
eddy praises Foraker for his vote
against the railroad rate bill. But this
effort of the Enquirer to stem the cur
rent of reform in Ohio is evidently not
'relished. FOR even the republican coun-
ty conventions are denouncing Fora
ker. The united democracy of Ohio
can get along very well without the
Enquirer, which has always been an
''old man of the sea" on their backs
to drag them down to the corrupt level
of the republican machine.

South Bend, former congressman from
the Thirteenth Indiana district, was
permanent chairman.
Referring to w. j. Bryan. he said:
That which is today eulogized and
approved as broad craftsmanship and
enlightened patriotism in Theodore
Roosevelt, was only few days ago
denounced as reactionary, revolution
airy and unpatriotic in William Jen-
nings Bryan. The aftersight Of one
is almost equal to the foresight of the

Attorney General-Walter ]. Lett,

The resolutions committees report
was read by Samuel L. Ralston, and
among other things, it said.
1.-The democracy of Indiana in con-
vention assembled sends greetings
across the sea to that wise and con-
sentative statesman, unfaltering patri-
ot and superb leader, William ]. Bryan,
and pledges its vote in convention and
the electoral vote of Indiana to him
for president in 1908.
For nearly ten years the republican
party has been in absolute control in
all departments in the national gov
eminent, with power TO change unjust
conditions and to rectify evils. Yet
during that time colossal combinations
of capital have dominated the people
and have stified competition and un-
fairly limited the opportunity of the
individual citizen wealth thereby lille
gally obtained has been unsparingly
used TO control legislation and corrupt
elections. No honest efforts have been
made or are being made by republican
legislation to cure or eradicate these
evils We denounce the hypocrisy of
the republican party which, while pre-
tending to legislate against these con-
ditions, deals only with the symptoms
and not with the disease. The unfair,
tyrannical features of the so-called
protective tariff have made these
things possible, and no permanent re-
lief can be secured until it's obnoxious
features are removed. We demand that
this be done by tariff for revenue ony'."
