ONLY ONE MORE

Our dear delicious oid-time friend
Frank Harris. is only "One more un-
fortunate. rashly importunate, gone to
his death" in his villifcation of Bryan
Colonel Bryan is the only living
man who could possibly poll a corpor
ais guard for the democrats in the
coming election. Every democrat who
has thimble full Of sense. too well
knows this. And just what man OF
the unquestioned brain Of the editor
of the Ocala Banner hopes TO gain by
his perversity. is truly a mystery to
the Floridian and everyone else who
loves the beautiful gems Of thought
we have so often seen expressed in
the columns of the Banner.-JacksOn
vile FlOridian.
The OcaIa Banner never in its life
yfIIifed Mr.. Bryan; on the contrary
it has always spoken in his praise. It
said that it thought he made a mistake
in mixing up with the factional poll
tics of Kentucky. when he was warn
ed not to do so. that is if by doing Sc
it is to fmperil the chance Of winniua
Kentucky back into the democratic
column. But that is not abusing Nr
Bryan.
The Banner has also said that Mr.
Bryan has made so many strong an
tagonisms that it is impressed with
the belief that he would not make as
strong a race as some other candidate
who has not been in the limelight Ions
enough to make these anJagOnisms-
lyon YOhnsOn" for instance.
These are merely opinions, and
opinions are not abuse.

THE APOLOGY WORSE THAN THE
OFFENSE OF OMISSION

Editor Harris complains that the
very newspapers which are now Civ
ing space to an article from Senator
W. J. Bryan, replying to one by him
self in his Ocala Banner, did not men
ton or reproduce his article. and feels
agrieved over the occurrence. The
Metropolis is one of the offending pa
pers, and the only explanation and
apology we can offer is that we over
looked his article. As TO the other pa
pers, we can only say that it is bare
ly possible they saw the article in
question, but did not think it worth
noticing. This. of course, is only a
observation-disclosures Metropolis.
Same here. The Bep0rter-Star had
no wish to be narrow minded on that
subject.-OrI8udo Reporter-Star

WHAT is A GOOD MAN?

Rev. John Ireland. Archbishop of ST.
Pau, has written an article on the
above subject. from which make
the following extract. under the sub
head OF The Good Nan as a Money
Maker"
The good mans relations with his
fellow men within the social organism
Will be characterized by absolute JUS
tice and charity. Avoid evil. Do no
harm to rich or to poor. Be honest
and honorable. The acquisition of a
million dollars is praiseworthy when
it follows upon industry, the use OF
high talent, the vigilant observation
of opportunity To be poor through
slOthfulness. wastefulness or willful
ignorance, is a sin and a disgrace.
But, throughout, justice must prevail:
nothing must be taken that belongs le-
ultimately to others; no methods must
be employed that law and equity re-
prove Avoid evil; do good When
acquired, wealth must be put TO good
use. Let it, indeed, serve in fair
abundance the owner and his depend
ents. Let it be stored up in view of
future contingencies. To reduce the
use Of wealth to mere necessities, TO
put the rich in this regard on the
plane Of the less successful, is 10 elm
mate from society the spirit of enter
prise, TO smother in the human breast
the prOmptings to hard work and to
sacrifice of ease and pleasure. But in
its eXUbeTance wealth must go beyond
the owner and the owners family 1t
must never be forgotten that society
is not without claims upon ones sur
plus revenue. The miSerly rich man
is not the good man; neither is he the
good man who is ever searching for
opportunities to lavish wealth in sub
seryiency to mad whims and fancies,
who in his wild extravagancies irri-
tates the poorer into class hatred and
social anarchism. America is the land
of great fortunes. What saves and
hOnOrs it is that it is the land of great
social benefactions on the part of its
wealthy citizens.

A MERE SCHOOL BOY PERFORM

We cannot agree with a few Of our
contemporaries who express the Opi21

toward Senator Bryan. but must con
fess our opinion that be did hOt sus-
tain the tremendous reputation -
friends are diligently trying To- build
up for him. a dignihed and g00d-na-
tured statement of his side OF the
matter would have been convincing %
the public, more in keeping with -
dignity of his position and much m "
becoming as the address of a young
man 70 one who is very much his SEMI

have brought the Ocala editor TO his
knees. ffguratively speaking. for there
is not in all Florida a fairer or broad

A statement that evidently first
started in the Ocala Banner has been
going the rounds to the effect that
Senator Bryan stated Immediately Of
ter his appointment that he expected
to make the best senator the state had
ever had, and expected at some time
to be the oldest One.-DeFuniak
Breeze.
1t has been said that "a lie can trav-
eel around the world while truth is
putting on her boots" We believe
that the person who first made this
assertion did not exaggerate it. We
have stated repeatedly that no Banner
reporter interviewed Florida's youth
full senator. The Banner particularly
stated that the interviews appeared
in specials to the New York World
and New York Herald. The policy Of
the Ocala Banner is not to misquote
anybody, to be tolerant even of abuse,
to give all sides a fair hearing, and to
trust to an enlightened public senti-
ment for approval

paper TO cease its hostile attitude to-

WHAT CLAUDE SAW WITH HIS
"PS"

Claude L'Eng,e, the ubiquitous edi-
Tor Of the Tallahassee Sun. has finally
settled the drainage question for all
time
It's a success.
Claude spent a whole day on the
canal and he saw enough to convince
him that the Everglades are being
drained by the two or three miles OF
completed canal
When you've once got Claude con
WINGED, the things settled.
Here's his proof Of the success of
the draining scheme:
4 saw a man wearing diamonds in
the Everglades.
This is no pipe dream. was wide
awake when l saw him and the spark
lers.
He was not a tourist. either. He
was a farmer.
He was not. therefore, one of the
Gum Bunch. Gum don't run in the
'GIades. There are no pine trees
there
The price for these sinners came
out of the ground, which is so rich
and produces so much and SO fast that
la man can't spend what he gets for
one crop before he has another ready
.or market
Hence a surplus. and that means
diamonds and things bright and spark
ling.
Sailors know that there is a man
in the moon, for they have been to
sea.
I know that the work of draining
the Everglades is a thing that has
been successfully demonstrated as to
its feasibility, its practicability. and
its immediate benefits. because l took
trip down there week before last.
| saw the work going on, and saw
the results of the work.
saw land that had been submerged
with water ever since the coral in
.sects first began to lay in the depths
of the ocean the formation that event
ually became the peninsula of Flor
ida. and up to a year ago, six months
ago, and three months ago, and one
month ago, according to the distance
from the rear end of the dredge boats
-four feet above the level of the wa
ter and ready for planting.
I saw the planting actually going
on along the banks of the canal.
saw the same man who planted last
year close behind the dredge on land
that had never before been out of wa
IT. planting this year with two of his
friends with him on a large area, and
still further into the 'Glades.
I saw land for sale and actually be-
ing sold by the state of Florida for
S15 to 500 an acre, that a few months
ago would have had no purchaser at
any price"
If Claude had gone further and fol
lowed the edge of the Everglades
south. he would have discovered that
many growers have ventured out on
the 'Glades. because Old Nature has
temporarily drained them. and they go
out there on the chance that they can
bring off crop before the rains re
store the normal water level
If he had made inquiries he would
have found that there is a deficit for
the last year in the rainfall of this
section Of approximately twenty inch
es. There was also a deficit Of a few
inches for the previous year.
Which means that, when the rains
become normal again. the whole vast
area Of the Everglades viii be filed
with water.
Then those growers viii come back
to the pine and hammock lands.
If Claude had used his eyes more
and his Is less, he would not have
settled the. drainage question this ear
