The tomato packers and pickers who
have been operating around Coleman
are rather a festive crowd of lads and
believe in having a lively time. 50 Sun
day instead of putting on their store
clothes and attending Sunday school
and church. they turned their boarding
houses into club rooms and were MAX
ing things lively with games OF cards,
interspersed with red eye. Result, they
got unduly hilarious, the marshal and
the mayor got busy, broke in upon
them and marched them up before the
captains desk, where they were as
sessed $40 and costs apiece with lee
ture that their presence was desired
and their labor needed, but they must
observe the ordinances that prevailed
and IL caught again at their unlawful
acts. not only a heavier fine would be
theirs but prison bars would clank be-
hind them. Several of the party when
caught resented the officiousness of the
city marshal and attempted to do him
bodily violence, and several had to be
knocked down ere they sullenly sub
mitted to the majesty of the law. The
little episode was quite an incident In
the life Of Coleman and has been the
theme of conversation ever since the
trial that taxed the new city hall.

REDEMPTION OF CERTIFICATES
Why Ii Is Good Public Policy Rather
Than Favor to Individuals

Editor Star: / noticed in the pro-
ceedings of the county commissioners
that George Giles had petirioned to be
allowed TO redeem tax certificates at
face value and without interest. / have
seen the same kind OF thing for years
Now. as / take il, George Giles is amply
able TO pay any interest charges that
may be charged TO him. Why should
he not pay back taxes? 1t might be all
right in case of a poor person. but
George Giles and numerous of other
we'll TO do persons are granted the
same. | may be a little dense: pray en-

South Lake Weir. June 20. 1910.
1t * the we'll known custom. by those
familiar with the mana cement OF the
tax affairs Of the county and the city
Of Ocala as we'll, that the redemption
Of tax certificates without interest is
allowed. and has been the custom for
many years past. 1t il not case Of
charity nor favoritiSm. but is granted
where in the judgment of the board
the request is a reasonable one. More
often than otherwise it is as much as
the property is worth to pay up the &C
emulation OF taxes. both the amount
OF the cerllrCate ana the taxes since
its issue. Furthermore. and best for
the governments. both municipal, coun-
" and state, it gets the property back
on the tax books after having been
certified to the state and off the tax
books for a number of years. For in
stance, a number of years ago when
lands and town lots were much cheap
er than now. q member of the Star
force bought at a sale of the assets of
the Merchants National Bank about
fifty lots in Dunn's Northwest Addition
to Ocala for about 30 cents a lot. The
title was good. except taxes and tax
certificates against the property, which
amounted to over 500 for both city
state and county. This property was
traded back and forth and the owner
got the interest taken off the certifi-
Gates. paid up all around and it is and
has been on the tax books for seven or
valuable. whereas. for many years
prior to that time it had brought no
income to any of the public funds. 1t
is often both justice and good business
sense to grant these requests and We
feel the utmost confidence in the wis
dom of our boards of county commits
sioners and city councils. when they
see fit to do so.

LID SOON WORKED LOOSE
Futile Attempts to Have Puritan
Sunday I'm WaycrOss


Waycross, Ga. June 20.-Waycross
sunday lid was taken off in grand
style yesterday and the CLOSED tight
scheme inaugurated last Sunday drop
ped with a thud that was generally
heard throughout the city.
No money exchanged hands in the
drug stores where drinks were dis
pensed. Free doIes and free drinks of
all kinds We're served by one firm at
their founts. The restaurants refused
to sell bottled drinks alone, but would
serve them with slices of pie. 1t is
said that one slice of pie was sold
during the morning about fifty times
before the purchaser made away with
it. The drink was the thing after all
in the restaurants.
When it became noised about that
the founts were dispensing free drinks
crowds gathered about the stores in
which the free business was being con-
Quoted, some after drinks and others
to see if the report was correct. The
idea on which the druggists are work
ing is that they can afford to treat
their weekday patrons on Sunday and
they propose to keep up the custom.
Under the law this is no violation.
The sale of newspapers and cigars
continues. Last Sunday none of the
restaurants would sell cigars. and
neither would the druggists. But they
have returned to the custom and will
undoubtedly stick to it. While the
drinks We're being handed out today
the stores We're visited by those who
have been active in pushing the Sun
day observance campaign. They saw
money refused at the founts time and
again and SO far as is known can take
no legal action to pre"ent the Sunday
treating.

The trustees of the Ocala school pre-
cinct held an important meeting last
night in conference with the county
school board to induce them to accept
the Ocala High School a county In
stitution and in that instance help them
to maintain the same. The school is
badly handicapped by insufficient funds
and unless relieved its usefulness will
be greatly impaired AS it is now the
trustees are unable to pay good sal
aries to retain their capable teachers
as other school districts are offering
for good teachers. The county board
will act on the proposition today in
special session.

THE ETERNAL "NO"
REIGNS IN WASHINGTON

In his article THE Measure of Taft"
in the July American Magazine, Ray
Stannard Baker draws very remark
able comparison between the tempera-
ment, methods and point of view of
President Taft and those of his prede-
cessor. He says in part:
"In another way the tendency of his
administration has been to dampen and
destroy the patriotic ardor for the pub
lie good which came to be much
factor during Roosevelt's time in the
various executive branches of the gov
eminent Under Roosevelt what a stir
of activity marked the bureau of cor
porations. the pure food work, the re-
clamation service, the department OF
justice, the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, the forestry departmental
fact, the whole government service!
How quiet they are now! Under
Roosevelt men would all but work their
heads off in the public service; but un
| der Taft, if a man displays undue en-
thusiasm, he may lose his head in an
other way. CLAWS, fighting to save the
peoples lands, is angrily and peremp
torily discharged without being fairly
heard: Pinchot, one of the greatest pub
| lie servants developed in this country
| in years, is forced out of his office:
Garfield goes: DR.. Wiley is reversed !;
Shaw and Price pay the wages OF en-
| thusiasm, and Newell and Davis. of the
| reclama ton service, are saved only by
| the utmost pressure
| Under such conditions the head of
| a government bureau said to me, do
| you think any man is going to risk his
| job by any originality or enthusiasm
| Not much
| mo one who visits Washington from
| time to time can have failed to see the
| change in the esprit de corps. The
eternal No seems now to reign in
