Judge Coyle, a former proprietor OF
the Montezuma, but now a citizen OF
Leesburg, was in town today. The
Judge spent the summer in Kentucky
and visited the new wheat region Of
Canada. He said the growth of that
country was simply marvellous. Winni-
peg, which in 1872 had two hundred
people, now has 10000. Within the
past eight years $4,000 families have
moved over into that country from
the United States. At Edmontson he
read this sign: Baseball at p. m.
He said, the sun didn't set until $3.50
and you could see to read at 10 p. m.
without a lighta.The judge said if he
didn't have an Orange grove in Lake
county that country could count him
as a settler. The land is so rich there
! that it produces sixty bushels OF
wheat and 200 bushels of oats to the
acre.

A CORN CONTEST

The Star takes great pleasure in
reproducing the correspondence De-
tween MIR. Il. c. Chambliss, the Ocala
banker and stock man, and Prof. +.
H. Rolls, of the Gainesville expert
mental station concerning the grow
ing of corn and how TO improve the
Weld by the careful selection of seed.
Mr. Chambliss offers a premium of s25
for. the best display of ears of corn
grown in Marion county. the same to
be shown at the Marion County Fair
next week. Prof. Rolls tells how the
test shall be made. with many inter
Hsting and instructive comments on
how farmers in Walton county have
made a wonderful improvement in the
increase of bushels per acre by select
ing the proper seed. The Star has
commented before on the prizes won
in Walton county by the farmers OF
that section who competed for the
said prizes at the DeF'uniak fair, and
the wonderful results attending their
efforts to improve their corn crop
The farmer winning the prize Offered
by Editor Storrs made sea bushels
per acre, while the average yield pei
acre in Florida is only eight bushels
There were some eight competitors
and the smallest yield for the prize
Vas 20 bushels an acre. Now, here is
an opportunity for the farmers of Ma
rion-farmers who have much better
and richer soil than in Walton coun'
ty and who can easily raise 10|
bushels of corn to the acre. if the!
viii only take the pains to select thu
the ICIial NnltiVa
tiou. Is it not worth a trial? Th'
contest is open to boys and girls o
the county. All get busy. There il
only a few days left to make the eff
fort, but make it and let the fai
stand for enterprise, progress am

Mr. ]. c. Hall. an enterprising far
mer and trucker of oxford. who was
in town Tuesday. speaking Of the
success that attended his vegetable
crop the past season, said it was not
gratifying from a financial stand
point and that if it had not been for
his general crop and hogs this Christ
mas would not seem as happy as 1t
will be, owing to the reserve supply
from these sources. Mr.. Hall has
been noted for the good fortune that
has attended his growing of water
melons in the past. but since land for
them is getting scarce around him. he
will get closer to mother earth next
season and see that the substantials
of life and the staple products Of the
soil are not neglected.

IHE GRAND JURY PREsENTMENT

:" We hope that every reader Of the
Star will carefully peruse the grand
jury presentment, not 50 much for
what it contains as the suggestions
it makes.
-, 1t tells of the unperformed work of
fhe justices-that they do not comply
with the law. Now, if this is So why
not apply the law to justices who take
an oath to comply with the law and
then ruthlessly disregard it? We would
say apply the law and let Judge Bull
lock make an example of few, then
the others would have more respect
for their obligations.
The license suggestion is good
one; especially where II refers to UNI
equal valuation of stocks Of goods
carried by our merchants. In this
case il is the old old story of the
small merchant paying taxes on the
full amount of his stock, while the
merchants who carry thousands and
tens of thousands of dollars worth OF
stock barely return one-quarter OF
the same. Very true there is an OPP
portunity here for the legislature to
remedy the defect, but will it be done?
1t is a good thing that attention has
ing to the toilet room in the base
ment of the courthouse. Our surprise
is that some one ere this has not
broken his neck in his attempt to find
his way down these steps. Why not
put in an electric or gas light and
let it burn twenty-four hours in the
day. 1t would cost very little.
Attention is called to the houses of
nd
their suppression suggested. True,
and why not? Were these houses in
close to our white schools, they would
be moved. Let those interested pre-
sent their protests and if those whose
duty it is to see that these ulcers on
the body polite are not removed dc
not act, make them subjects of judi
ciai investigation. There is a cure
for all this under the law.
The condition of things at the jai
is well ventilated. The truth is We
need a new one with modern condi-
lions and sanitation. The old one
lacks these essentials and nothing
short of complete remodeling or {
new one will come up to the presen
day requirements.

The Wage.Morkers Friend.

III there is one body of men more
than another whose support / feel
have a right to challenge on behalf
of Secretary Taft; 1t is the body OF
wage workers of the country" wrote
President Roosevelt in his recent let-
ter to his friend, Conrad Kohrs, OF
Helena, Mont, in which the Presi-
dent considered the present campaign
and particularly Mr. Taft's fitness to
hold the Office OF chief executive of
the country. "A stauncher friend, a
fairer and truer representative, they
cannot find within the borders of the
United States" continued the Presi-
dent. He will do everything in his
power for them except to do that
which is wrong; he will do wrong for
no man, and therefore can be trusted
by all men. During the 10 years OF
my intimate acquaintance with him,
since 1 have myself as governor and
president, been obliged to deal prac-
tically with labor problems. he has
been one of the men upon whose
Judgment and aid could always rely
in doing everything possible for the
cause of the wage-worker, OF the
man who works with his hands or
with both hands and head"

save him from gangrene. Fowler and
other members of the company were
in q political argument as to the re-
spective merits of Bryan and Taft
when a scufie ensued and he was
stabbed

been drinking, and the impression
was given out that another member
of the company had stabbed him.
though he told the hospital authori-
ties before his death, that the wound
was self-infiicted. He said he had
the bayonet in his hand when the
train gave o lurch and threw him
against the side of the car in such a
manner that the sharp steel pierced
his leg, His home was in Wellsburg

~ f.
the Republican party stands Tor a
wise and regulated indiyiduaiIsm
Socialism would destroy wealth. Re-
publicanism would prevent its abuse.
Socialism would have to each an
equal right TO take; Republication
would give to each an equal right to
earn. Socialism would offer an equal
ity of possession which would soon
leave no one anything to possess; Re-
publicanism would give equality of
opportunity which would assure to
each his share of constantly in
creasing sum of possessions. In line
with this tendency the. Democratic
party of today believes in govern
ment ownership, while the Repu6ll-
can party believes in government reg
ulation. Ultimately Democracy would
have the nation own the people, while
Republicanism would have the peo-
pie own the nation.
Upon this platform of principles
and purposes, reafirming our adher-
ance to every Republican doctrine
proclaimed since the birth of the par.
ty, we go before the country asking
the support not only OF those who
have acted with us heretofore. but Of
all our fellow citizens who, regard

Differences Between Parties.

Reflect a moment over the fol.

and you can but be thoroughly con.
WINGED OF the fundamental differences
between the Republican and Demo.
cratic parties, and be content to con-
tinue the Republican party in office:
Beyond all platform declarations
there are fundamental differences be.
tween the Republican party and its
chief opponent which makes the one
worthy and the other unworthy OF
public trust.
In history the difference between
Democracy and Republicanism is that
the one stood for free silver, the 9th.
er for sound money: the one for free
trade, the other for protection; the
one for the contraction OF American
influence, the other for its expansion
the one has been forced to abandon
every position taken on the great is.
sues before the people, the other has
held and vindicated all.
In experience, the difference be.
tween Democracy and Republication
is that one means adversely, while the
other means prosperity; one means
low wages, the other means high; one
means doubt and debt. the Other
means confidence and thrift.
In principle, the difference between
Democracy and Republicanlsm is tina
one stands Generalization and timii
ity in government, the other fol
strength and purpose; one promises
the other performs; one finds fault
the other fines work.
The present tendencies of the two
parties are even more marked by in
herent differences. The trend Of
Democracy Is toward socialism, while
