"Corn Sirup."

From the Literary Digest.
The appeal of the producers Of glucose
to be permitted to call it 'corn sirup' is
commented upon unfavorably by the
Louisiana Planter, which notes in the first
place that modern glucose is made by
boiling starch in a weak solution OF sui
phuric acid. This use Of the acid seems to
have given bad reputation to the
product, which accounts for the desire to
ton. corn sirup," says the writer, is a
misnomer. as the production Of this strip
is not possible by ordinary evaporation,
which produces sugar cane syrup, sugar
beet strip, sorghum strip and maple
strip. He goes on:
1.-The use of Injurious and in fact Of
dangerous chemicals in the manufacture
of food stuffs was practiced more than
half a century ago. 1t Is well known that
the sugar of lead Is probably the best
clarifying agent known for refining sugar.
DR.. Evans refers to 1t in his Sugar Plant
ers' Manual published in about 1845, and
says that it became necessary to prohibit
by law the use OF lead in sugar refining
owing to the dangers to human health and
life incident to that process. In the
earlier history Of the glucose industry it
was a notable fact that one OF the chief
difficulties connected with 1t was that of
entirely eliminating the free sulphuric acid
in the concentrated sirups. In order to
do this it was necessary to use consider
able lime. and this, combining with the
free sulphuric acid. produced gypsum. or
land plaster. which floated like clouds
throughout the liquid mass and was very
difficult of removal. even by filter-press
filtration. Liquid glucose manufactured
from corn starch by the sulphuric acid
process is now turned out apparently as
clear as crystal. but the central fact re-
mains. that is. its manufacture with that
very dangerous agent. sulphuric acid. and
that free sulphuric acid has very frequent
ly been present in samples Of glucose Of
fered for sale. The word corn. If utilized in
labelling glucose, will be so utilized in
order to conceal some of the features Of
it's Objectionable origin. The label should
properly read corn and sulphuric acid for
table use.' -

THE GOVERNOR AND THE NEWS
PAPERS

One of Broward's favorite charges
is that every newspaper OF the state
that ventures on criticism OF his
official actions, is a corporation
newspaper.
OF course he means by that tha' e.
erv newspaper that believes II mas
duty to perform in calling atteh l'oI
70 the shortcomings of state ofhclais'
has been bought up by some corpora
ton and paid for stating that oplh-
ion.
If all newspapers that have iouhd
it necessary to criticize the governor
do so only on the behest of corpora
lions. il follows, as a matter OF logic
that they are making their criticisms
not on a basis of facts, but on faorl-
cations paid for by money or inhu-
ence.
II follows then that If these critl-
cisms are manufactured they are IN
true. and the governor has never com
mitted a mistake, and that he has COM
pletely fulfilled his duty to the people
and to the state.
The man who says he makes no
mistakes is assuming a great deal.
With very few exceptions, the press
of Florida has had frequent occasion
to point out the governors mistakes.
The exceptions are those papers so
very closely connected with the gov
ernor that they readily subscribe to
the doctrine that the king can do no
wrong"
All the rest are corporation papers,
without benefit of clergy.
The governor objects to the oft-re-
peated assertion that he has spent
more than half Of his term OF Office
outside of the state-wanderlust, his
friend L'Engle calls his particular
form of disease.
Notwithstanding the objection the
fact remains, though to mention it
makes a newspaper a corporation
sheet
Anything said rejecting on the gov
ernor's plan to drain the Everglades
and lower Lake Okeechobee is also
treason of the rankest kind, les ma
jeste of the most vicious nature.
In fact the only peaceable way for
a Florida newspaper to get along
with the governor is to agree with
him exactly on every point of his
acts and his policy.
Do that or take the consequences

A BRICK THROWN FROM THE
OTHER SIDE

The Appeal to Reason asks this
pertinent question:
The next president will have the
naming of four judges of the supreme
court who are to hold their jobs for
life. Do you imagine either of the
Bills would appoint a member of the
working class, or a man who does not
believe in injunctions?"
But in the name of reason we want
to know the class that has ever used
injunctions more than labor unions?
Do they not enjoin every time they
send a walking delegate" to the en-
ployer or manufacturer and by threats
os posting as unfair to organized Ia
bor," to blacklist and drive him out
of posting as unfair to organized Ia
date and restrain?
Is that kind of a court that pro
ceeds to try, convict and sentence the
accused without even the mockery of
trial and without his presence or
knowledge of such trial, any better
than our own?
1t is true that they have no jails
or prisons in which to cOnfine and
punish the violators of their laws, but
they infiict the punishment all the
same, and their punishment too often
exceeds any ever melted out by the
civil courts whose sworn duty it is to
minister justice according to the law
and evidence, and this kind has never
yet employed the cruel and cowardly
methods of the labor unions who wan.
tonly destroy the property of others
shoot into trains and hurl deadly
bombs from the hands of their hired
aSsaSsins.
And so again We ask which order OF
these injunctions are the most hui
name or beneficial to the country at
large ?-Jacksonville Floridian.

MARRIAGES IN THE FIJI ISLANDS

A day or two ago we made mention
of a newspaper printed at Suva, Fiji,
the Western Pacific Herald, which a
traveller from New Zealand gave to a
gentleman in Ocala, who in turn gave
it to US.
The Herald has a corps of neighbOr-
hood correspondents, the same as the
majority of newspapers in this cOun-
try, and in scanning the columns of
the same We were struck with the fol-
lowing marriage notice, and as mar
riages are always interesting the one
under consideration, perhaps, will be
quite so.
The letter to the Herald is from
Upper Dreketi, and is under date of
May IS, 1908.
The correspondent says:
'Doloko had a triple wedding on
the 10th, and great was the feasting
thereat. Three sons on the one side
married to three daughters on the
other, in the one act as it were, is a
big roundup in two families"
Now, there is nothing particularly
striking nor exceptional about that,
for it not frequently, but it sometimes
occurs that We have triple marriages
in neighboring families in this coun-
try, but note what follows. The cor
respondent goes on to say:
THE united ages of the six falls a
couple of years under fifty 90 but
there's nothing like an early start"

LETTER FROM COMMISSIONER
FORT
To the Editor Ocala Banner:

To the Editor Ocala Banner:
In the Banner of August 14th inst,
there appeared two articles, one from
"Clod Hopper" and one from Tax
Payer" in which they scored the
county commissioners for omission of
duty and commission of wrong doing.
If those gentlemen had posted them
selves a little before rushing into the
newspaper they would have had no
reason for their hasty action, and the
poor county commissioners would
not have been accused Of partisan &C
tons. However, that their minds
may have rest, will answer them in
detail.
Some time ago Mr. William Lucius
advised the board that certain gentle
mems fences were so close to the road
that it was almost impossible to
scrape the road, and among them was
Mr. Taylor's. We requested them to
move their fences further in, for the
above reason, and no other. "Clod
Hopper" asks where will we stop, etc,
No man will have to move his fence
except in such cases as above stated,
and then only when it becomes neces-
sary. He asks why we wait until the
rainy season TO work the roads and
why have we quit advertising for seal
ed bids for overseers, etc. ! am una
BILE to say when the other commits
sioners have their roads worked. AS
for myself, am not confined to any
certain season-as they need it, we
hit 'em, cold or hot, rain or sun, II
makes no difference. / work my roads
with overseers, as the law directs. II
"ClOd Hopper" is in doubt Of this, let
him read the Banner next December
Tax Payer" is advised that we are
not paving the streets of Ocala, but
we are trying to improve that which
belongs to the county. The county
happens to own a certain lot of land
on which the Jail is built. There is
street running by it WHICH also be-
longs to the county. In the said street
is low basin, holding water when ii
rains. We are going to raise and
harden this place. We have made
arrangements with the city council to
harden their part.
Tax Payer" is further advised that
the law compels boards Of county
commissioners to pay back half Of
the road tax paid by incorporated
towns or cities to improve streets
with; the other half is used to build
or Improve roads; so you can see
that Ocala is paying lot of taxes that
go in that direction.
If l am not mistaken, there is q
hard road built nearly to Anthony
Don't you get the benefit of that in
going to Ocala? When your turn
comes, it will be built further on.
Gentlemen, you have no grounds fOl
your criticism. Won't you be reason
ably sure in the future that you have
cause for complaint before you shOO'
at us, and then get out of ambush into
the open, and say what you have tC
say over your own signatures.
