PUTS A QUESTION.
A Woman Asks Mr. Rockefeller TO
"Beat It."

The August American Magazine
publishes letter, signed "An Amer
ican Woman" in the department,
1.-The Pilgrim Scrip" in which the
author claims that men have come
to realize that in modern industrial
conditions the majority of them can
not conduct a paying business and
live according to the tenets of the
Christian religion. o
But" she continues, "they rebel
against the hyprocisy of such a.
course. Americans may be cynics
but they are not hyprocites. The
motto of the majority may be, If
religion interferes with your bust
ness, then cut out your religion but
on the other hand, the instinct of
the majority is also to demand of;
those who profess religion that they
shall practice it.
"It is, for instance, one Of our
great American jokes-i. has al.
ready been celebrated in rag-time
ballad-that Mr.. John D. Rookie
feller teaches Sunday school. The
attitude of the average American
toward this fellow-citizen Of our
might be translated into these
words:
"'Conduct your business as you
wish, Mr.. Rockefeller, for, after all.
we rather admire sharp practice
when it makes good. Put your
helpless competitors out Of the game,
drive them to failure, despair and
suicide, buy up the Upper House,
create a Third House. But don't
on top of that, don't we beg of you,
have the face to preach the Golden
Rule. Really, Mr.. Rockefeller, when
it comes to this Sunday school prop
osition, you're nothing but joke.
Beat it!'"

, OUR NEW THEATER

Ground was broken yesterday for
the new theater, which has so long
been needed in Ocala.
Messrs. McIver & MacKay have the
contract for constructing the building,
and they assure us that it will be
rushed to completion as fast as posi-
BILE.
Our new playhouse will be up to
date in every respect, and will have
seating capacity sufficient to accom-
modate the theater-goers of Ocala for
some years to come. The interior, it
is said, will compare tavorably with
the theaters of cities four times the
size of Ocala,
This enterprise is largely due to the
tenacfty OF Messrs. Jake Brown and
R. f. Yonge. 1t was through their eff
forts that the entire amount of stock
needed for the construction of the
building was subscribed.
1t has been proposed that a tag
day" at the coming Marion county
fair be inaugurated for the purpose of
raising funds for the stage settings
and seats, which is the only part of
the enterprise not yet provided for.
MIR. ]. w. Sylvester, who had charge
of the Marion opera house until it
was changed into an office building
about two years ago, and later of the
armory, which has been our only show
house for the past two years, will
have charge of the new theater.
Mr.. Sylvester has been connected
with the theatrical business nearly
all his life, and with his wide expert
ence Ocalians can rest assured that
they will have the best thee is as
soon as the new house is in hape to
take care Of all Corners.
