teacher so to observe the day as 10
convey this lesson clearly and i'm
pressively.
"Civiization and education develop
finer sentiments toward the beautiful
in nature and art. The same inteili-
gence that demands clearer and more
healthful homes and cities demands
also more beautiful homes and cities.
The most beautiful and the most per
manent adornment for yards, streets,
school grounds and parks are good
shade trees. They add 10 the health
and comfort and the beauty of any
community. They also attract land
keep close to us the best of our wild
song birds. 1t is very proper. there
fore, that special days should be set
aside for the planting of trees, and
the holding of such exercises as shall
arouse in our children a sound and in
telligent appreciation of the beauty
and value of our birds and trees.
Il trust you will derive much pleas

BOOKER WASHINGTON COMING

Booker Taliaferro Washington, the
famous negro educator, expects %
visit Florida some time early during
the year 1912. AS his mission is %
address the masses Of his race on
questions OF industrial education and
right living, this paper commends MS
coming, and it hopes that the instruc-
ton he is so capable of imparting
will be of benefit to the race of which
he is so conspicuous a leader. Be
cause Of his acknowledged leadership
his meetings are largely attended by
numbers of white people.
We know the strength Of race pre-
JUDGE. but the very fact that this
prejudice exists should cause good
men to do what they can to bring
about the very best conditions posi-
bic between the two races. We are
here together and have got to remain
together for a long time, so it be-
hOOves US to make the pathway along
lifes journey in all it's ramifications
for both races just as smooth and
non-irritating as it is possible for US
to do
1t is not a theory, but an actual
problem, that confronts us, and if we
do not solve it in one way we mist
solve it in another.
1t is a burden and a responsibility
more largely resting upon the white
man, and it is up to him to solve it
if possible intelligently and Justly.
We know the negro and the negro
knows US. He is accustomed to our
methods and we are accustomed to
his. We need his labor He needs our
foresight and supervision. He has
done his part in telling the forests
and in cultivating and cleaning the
fields. There is much more for him
and for us TO do in the forward move
ment now SO prevalent in every south
ern state.
Let US lend our aid to Booker
Washington in his efforts to energize
and elevate his race along the lines
of industry and right living.
With our encouragement he may be
more successful in his efforts and his
efforts may be directed along better
channels.
We hope that he may be invited to
visit Ocala

BALAKLAVA CONTRASTED WITH
AMERICAN COURAGE

After reviewing the charge of the
Six Hundred into the jaws of hell"
at Balaklava, a writer says: But

from the glorious work that the
Light Brigade did at Balaklava lit is
mere folly to attempt such thino)
1t may be said on the side that the he

men of the Light Brigade" two hun.
dred and seventy-one were killed or
wounded, but out of the six hundred
men OF the Twenty sixth North Caro-
INA at Gettysburg every man was
either killed or wounded Of several
Union regiments the killed and
wounded amounted to quite eighty or
ninety per cent. of the numbers on
gagged. Bulls Bluff was as fatal as
Balaklava twice over, and what tho
Light Brigade" saw at that hattie
was nothing, in comparison with the
bloody Angle" at Spottsylvania. tho
Stone Wall at Gettysburg. or that 9th

AS TO MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS

This paper was recently called
down for not deyoting more Of It's
space to the discussion of municipal
affairs
1t finds no fault with the criticism
and feels that it is in a manner cor
rect. It's limitations are a matter Of
sincere regret to it. There are so
many things to do and so few to jo
things. The exchanges must be care
fully scanned. The matter for the
outside pages must be selected with
care and circumspection. That fea-
ture of the paper has largely given to
it the reputation that it enjoys The
social functions and gaieties must be
carefully noted and written up with
nicely and precision It's feminine
readers expect this A tour of the
city must be made so as to note the
coming and going of our country cOus-
ms and prominent guests from dis
lance Letters must be answered and
proofs must be read, not only of arti-
cles that are to appear in it's columns,
but of those multitudinOus things
passing through the job department
as we'll. The editorial page cannot lie
neglected, the telephone must be an
swered, visitors must be enter
tanned, the books have be
kept and the business manager must
hustle necessarily to see that the pay
roll is met every Saturday night
Outside of the business manage
ment and the mechanical force there
are only two of us, and it is impossi-
BILE 10 detail special reporters first Tor
one thing and then another.
We are doing the very best we can
Within our limitations
We do not remember to have ever
turned down an article on any propo-
sition concerning the veal or woe Of
this city, whether the articles voiced
the sentiments and policy Of this pa
per or not.
We invite criticism on every pub
lie matter, because it is impossible
for the few connected with the local
and editorial staff of the paper to
give attention to every public matter
and local concern.
We are glad that some of our cit
liens are paying some attention 10
public affairs. We hope that they
will keep it up.
We are glad that Mr.. Jones, candi-
date for mayor, has answered,
through the press, the questions that
have been propounded to him. We
hope that the other candidates FOR
mayor and aldermen will follow mis-
example.
We are glad that Alderman Taylor
made his report on the operations Of
the electric light plant public, and
that he was quick to answer the in
quiries of Mr. Ley.
Let's keep alive the issues concern
ing the destiny of the city, and to
this end this paper asks the aid of
all good citizens.
