1t may be worthy of note as an
item of information in connection
with the beautiful drinking fountains
erected on the south and north side
CT the courthouse square by the Civic
League of Ocala to say that at the
base Of each fountain is a drinking
trough for dogs and cats, which cost
SIS extra for each fountain, but it will
also be noted on inspection that no
pipe leads from the water main to
these drinking troughs and if they are
to be supplied with water to make
them useful for the good purposes in
tended some one will have to fill them
with water several times a day in
warm weather, otherwise they are an
expense without service. The foun-
tains are so constructed that the wat
er pouring into them can never flood
and overflow the basins.

CAN LIGHT LEAD US
INTO THE LIGHT

1t Is pleasant to know what the peO-
pie Of Reddick think Of Mr.. l.. S Light
candidate for the legislature, having
lived among them many years. His
record as a citizen is good but the
deductions he draws from his chart
o: Florida expenditures are sadly
lacking in logical conclusions.
If Mr.. Light is sincere in his state
ments, he proposes to go to the legis-
lature and make the most startling
reforms Of the century. He says Flor
ida's taxable properly is valued by the
assassOrs at $4,000, 900, but accord
ing to Governor BrOwards statement
the states assets are $300,000,00O and
therefore somebody is cOncealing from
the assessors $3.50, 900, 900 Of assessa-
bic property and TO that extent some
tody is Withholding their just dues
to the state.
Now the question is this: Present
needs require present amounts to
carry on the state government, in
Guiding, of courst. county expenses.
Now Mr. Light must have heretofore
hidden light which if elected he will
show to the; other ninety nine men,
Deio III TIE legislature no" lHlS 9loU,-
100000 can be put on the tax books
and assessed, and, thereby cut the
present taxation Sin half.
In word this Is Mr.. Lights plan of
tax reform and equalization. With
the past as a guide for the future ac-
ton of men in legislative halls, can
MIR. Light deliver the goods? Is he
deluding himself? Or is he the Red
dick Moses that will bring about the
millennium and cause all men to do
equal and exact justice to their fell
lows? If he can he is the man to go
to the Florida legislature. If not, he
had better stay at home, for he never
will accomplish anything.

1t is only law and justice to give the
oolored people equal accommodations
when they pay the same fare as the
whites, but there is one thing Mr.
Roosevelt probably doesn't think of,
and that is that the colored pdople are
Tot as careful and clearly as the
whites. Start two cars, each equal in
comfort and cleanliness, one for one
race and the other for the other, at
Jacksonville for Tampa, and by the
time they both arrive, the car for COL
Ored people will almost always be
twice as dirty as that used by tho
whites. Some of the Troubles Of the
colored people are more their own
fault than that of the white folks.
