A RATTLE LOST:
A WAR BUT BEGUN
WILLIAM BRYAN IN HIS "CoMMoNER' DISCUSSES
OF THE RECENT ELECrIoN-.THE HOLDING
MERE INCIDENT wH) VIE


In the last issue OF the Common
er, William j. Bryan speaks philo-
sophically OF the election and dis
cusses the future under the cap
II on. "A Battle Lost-A War But
Begun" He says:
The returns disclose signal
victory for our opponents. but the
prime. Piles for which our party
stands are not dead.
Does any on9 believe that the
American people will permanently
permit secresy as TO campaign con-
tributions? Does anyons believe
that the Amer can people will per-
manent'y permit the will of voters
20 be thwarted. as II IS now. by the
election of senator's through legis-
latures? Does anyone believe that
the trusts will be permitted 20 per-
manently exploit the masses9
Does any one believe that the
consumer will perman 'ntly permit
the tariff to be written by the BEN
etc aries OF that tariff? Does any
one believe that the public will per-
manently tolerate enlargement be-
tween labor and capital? Does
anyone believe that the fifteen mill
ions OF depositors will forever per-
NIT Their savings to be jeopard.zed
as at present? Does anyone be-
lieve that the extravaganza OF the
government will 60 on forever UNI
checked? Does anyone believe that
our republic will permanently con-
sent to colonial policy with its
humiEations and fipanc al burdens?
There must be a party represen-
ting the peoples protest against
wrong in high places. against cor
ruption In politics and aga INST the
oppression OF the struggl ng masses
and the Democratic party must con-
tinue its fight or dissolve.
During the last twelve years
the Democratic party has accom-
pl shed more out OF power than the
Republican party has accomplished
in office, and this liz sufficient re-
ward for those who fight for a right
eous cause. The fight must be con-
tinued because a good government
is the richest legacy that a parent
can leave to a child.
AS for myself let no one worry
about my future. The holding Of
office is mere incident In the life

A PROFITABLE TRIP

We took spin down to Los HI IS on
Tuesday. In that pretty valley are a
few genuine southern hustlers.. We
went down for a few points" and we
got 'em. Los Kiss is just two miles
down the Oklawaha river from St.
Helena. There are no town knock
ers" there and the place is as neat
as a pin. ALI the rrult put up is put
up fancy"
We found that the Los Kisses-the
people, We mean-can teach US St
Helenans something that it is hun
dreds of dollars in our jeans to know.
They make it a rule in the place that
when a stranger blows in. so to
speak, they tell him nothing but the
good things-and really the good
things are in pIenty-and leave him
to find out the others.
Those hustlers in Los Kiss make
it a rule to boast all the time on the
outside and to outsiders. and if the
insects and scale bother them more
than ordinary they may talk about it
to each other, but they do NOT tell
strangers about their troubles.
Should a stranger ask a Los Kiss
man, "HOw's things?" he is told.
with broad smile, that Things are
all right all right" and he will tell
YOU that he made good profit last sea
son; that is, if he made a profit that
season. If he did not do well with
crops last year he tells you what he
expects TO make next year. And
strangers are fighting in this valley of
Los Kiss to purchase land at, in some
cases. as much as ten times the pric-
es OF four years ago.-St. Helena

WHAT CAN TAFT DO?

Now that Mount Oyster Bay is
erupting continuously, the campaign
promises TO become less apathetic.
But the increasingly frequent erup-
tons indicate a strenuous nervous
ness over the political outlook. and
that nervousness will not. in my Cptn-
ion, become less as the full meaning
Of the Foraker exposures dawns upon
the pubic mind.
For what is the real, the deep mean
ing Of that episode? Is it not that the
machinery of the republican party is
in the hands Of men closely allied
with what the public Identifies with all
that is evil in our public life, to-wit:
The interests" Wall street" "the
Standard Oil crowd" etc.? What
earthly thing can Taft. if elected. do
against the inertia Of the party ma
chine? If Roosevelt. with all his i'm
mense strength with the people, was
unable to bulge his party effectively
(the courts are overturning what he
did do at his lashing) of effectually.
what can Mr.. Taft, lacking the
strength Of Roosevelt, do with the
same inert mass? Absolutely nolhins.
Taft, if elected, will fail, and then
1912 will see RooseTelt again il the
saddle, but doing nothing effective to
tighten the burden upon industry and
thrift. And SO the weary round will
continue until the sleeping giant
awaEens and does some unpleasant
things, possibly a la French revolu-
ton.

ATTACK ON FOR
AKER

Could anything more thoroughly il
lustrate Roosevelt's character than
his rush to bludgeon Foraker when
the latter was down? Mr.. Roosevelt
has been a most courageously vocif-
erous man in attacking shadows aud
creatures Of straw or men in a posi-
ton of hopeless disadvantage. Don't
kick a fellow when he is down." is a
meaningless phrase with Mr.. Roose-
welt, for that is precisely the time
he can kick with the most vigor. Mr..
Roosevelt has yelled and shrieked and
kicked and pounded through the sew
en- pitiiulIy vainglorious years of his
administration, but what is there to
show for it? What reform has he eff
fected? What evil has h corrected?
What Criminal has he punished?
AS you justly pointed out in Mon
days pap=r. FCTaaer has done the
public service in his time. but in
roJb.ng diI he show himsef more adj
nlirabie than in his steady, Unhinch-
ing and almost unaided attempt to
check. restrain or modify the mad
extravaganza and reckless folly of
My Politics" What wonder then
that the monarch Of Oyster Bay
should rush bowling with JOY to jump
upon the offensive senator bowled over
by his side partner"
But if Mr.. Roosevelt is the incar-
nate virtue and honesty he would have
us believe, why did he not hurl his
Jovian bolt to annihiIate Foraker at
the time Mr.. Hitchcock and others
we're arranging to hear Mr.. Foraker
speak for Taft" even upon the same
platform with the candidate?-E A.

THE MEYS-KEHOE CONTEST

The latest in the Mays-Kehoe con
test is the issuance by Judge Wolfe
OF citations directed TO a number of
the congressional committee and their
attorneys, to show cause why they
should not be adjudged in contempt
of court Wonder what will be the
next step! Perhaps Judge Malone and
Judge Wolfe will rule each other for
contempt. This scramble for Office is
certainly badly jumbled up in the
third, and the people are getting sick
and tired of the course matters are
taking. So We beg to submit the fol
lowing solution of the question: Let
the matter be settled by Mays and
KehOe according to the old English
custom, known as wager of battle.
This would be a happy solution of
this problem. II is not often we
would suggest such a method to set
tie a contest of this kind, but in this
case We think it absolutely necessary.
But the battle should be to a finish.
because if both contestants survive
the state in all probability will wit
ness the same spectacle two years
hence.-Live Oak Democrat.

FLORIDA A FAVORED STATE

Without Boosting or glee, the peo-
pie of Jacksonville have ample cause
for congratulation and thanksgiving
for being spared from the calamities
experienced by other sections of our
country the past few months. How
ever, no one knows what a day may
bring forth and we may yet be visit
ed with disaster and death.
The ravages of high water in the
south had not all been told before tn
destruction by awful forest fires came
TO alarm and distract many people.
Canada and Wisconsin are now il
the very midst of blazing flame and
sitting smoke, and people are fee
ing to save their lives. Angry winds
have swept the seas. causing much
destruction to property. Drought i.

the Injuries of field and orchard and
the progress sOf business and the rev
enue Of prosperity. In this enjoy
ment, however, We are not without
sympathy for those who suffer. We
pity the stricken, and would change
their conditions if we could. 1t would
be a great pleasure to do so.
This favorable attitude in which
Florida is placed is sufficient cause for
rejoicing and to induce others to come
here and enjoy our freedom from per
il and want. The door is wide open
and all good people are invited to en-
ter. They have the facts of the sit
uatiOn here and elsewhere. and We
believe that those harassed by food
and fire and drought would be infinite
" better off in Florida than in fire
swept prairie states or where angry
waters rush down upon them. We
suffer no such fears, nor fears Of fam
inc and pestilence, and if sections are
so different it seems natural that peo-
pie would seek the land where calam-
tiles are least, and where a warm
welcome awaits all good people

WILL VOTE AGAINST GIVING COL
LEGES ONE MILL TAX
Reddick, Fla, Sept. %. 1870
To the Editor Ocala Banner.

To the Editor Ocala Banner.
Dear Sir-I shall vote against the
constitutional amendment giving our
four state colleges the proceeds Of
one. mill levy on all the taxable prop
erty in this state for these reasons:
believe we should be very slow in
changing our constitution. and believe
that taking the appropriating powers
from the legislature and substituting
one mill levy for these four schools
would be very expensive and hurtful
to the best interests Of most Of the
tax payers of the state
l believe a one mill levy On all tax
able property of the state, besides the
permanent appropriations of tn pa
rent government, interests. etc. is too
much money to be spent on four
schools.
The parent government appropriate
ed in 1906 $4,000. The interest .und
amounts 10 over $4,000. and other r.
ceipts to nearly $4,000. and if the con-
stitutional amendment passed there
would be under the treasury assess
ment S143.CoO additional. or a total of
$4,000.
believe our assessment in five
years will reach $2o0.000.00D. then
these four schools would get no less
than 100000 a year.
The state levy for common school
purposes amounts TO s243.rpo per
year. The appropriation in 1906 for
state school aid amounted TO S1-5.-
900, and if we add the parent govern
ment's fund the interest fund and
one mill levy for the four state schools
then our state taxes for schools vii.
cost nearly 100000 a year.
Then, besides the county levy a. o
mills and school district levy of .
mills.
The total enrolment OF these four
state schools in 1906 was GG7 pupils
and for the parent and state govern.
ment to spend over 100000 OF f.i.
ton. etc. on Co. pupils is entirely TOO
much, to my way Of thinkiu-
Il costs the people les than $40 pe-
pupil per year TO send a pupil so ra,
common schools. and 20 vot. t9 auI
more than 5000 per pupil per year O..
our state colleges. TO O man OF ur
understanding, it doesn't look like
display Of good sense.
The state is now due Marion county
nearly $4,000 for amounts duo our
schools through the state all aprr.
priatiOns, and l suppose 20 the other
counties prOpOrtionately. and cant
pay it for lack of funds.
Then why vote to make these four
state colleges a permanent income
and larger monies. when the common
schools can't get their just due?
Say, instead Of increases Of taxes
let's cut expenses.
Yours truly.
