At the last meeting of the board Of
trade the question of a union depot
here was discussed and the secretary
was requested to have a petition sign
ed asking the railroad commission to
have a union station placed at Ocala-
The papers have written a great
deal about this subject and published
a letter to Mayor Robertson from the
railroad commission, turning down the
request for union station good

that this letter was in regards to the

not the case The Woman's Club as
well as the board OF trade is still cir
cuIating a petition for a union station,
and at the next meeting of the board
of trade, which takes place on next
Friday August 4. at S o'clock, a letter
asking the railroad commission to
come here and look the proposition ov-
er, as well as these two petitions. win
be forwarded to them
The board Of trade will do all In it's
power, with the able assistance Of the
Woman's Club. to give Ocala union
station and won't consider that the
matter Is closed until they get results.

LITTLE ELSIE GEIGER

The friends of Mr.. and Mrs. L. ..
Geiger mourn with them the death of
their baby daughter, Elsie Corfnne.
who died in her mothers arms on the
Coast Line train near Rochelle yes
terday.
The little girl, a bright and win
some child in her second year, was
taken sick about three months ago.
Some weeks later she was taken by
her mother to the home of her grand
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. A. Stewart,
in Titusville, in hopes that the air
from the ocean would restore her to
health. The little one improved for
time, but again lost ground, and Sat
urday Mr.. Geiger left for Titusville in
response to telegram announcing
that he must hurry if he wished to see
his baby alive.
About the time of his arrival at
Titusville. the child seemed a little
better, and a faint hope arose in the
minds of the parents that a return
home might be beneficial, so they left
| Titusvi1le on the early Monday train.
All places were probably the same to
| the baby, Graded constantly in her
mothers arms and knowing no differ
| ence between the house on wheels
| from one on pillars. 1t seemed to the
anxious watchers that she frightened
a little as the train drew away from
| the salt air of the coast into the softer
atmosphere of the piny woods, but
she was too far gone, and while yet
many miles from home her tired little
spirit was swept under the shadow of
some plying angels pinions to It's
eternal freedom from care and pain.
Early this morning, the sorrowing
parents, accompanied by friends, took
the wasted little body out to Martin,
where relatives of Mr. Geiger live. and
laid it away in the family burying
ground.
Mr. Geiger is faithful and indus
trious member of the Star force and
| he and his wife have the sincere SYM
pathy of their friends in their deep af-
Fiction. The little girl had been in
| the Star office many times in the past
| few months, and always won a smile
from the printers by her bright face
and winning ways.

GIBBONS VIEWS On
THE LEASE SYSTEM

Cromwell Gibbons is against the
continuance of the convict lease sys-
tenn and while recently in Baltimore
expressed the following sentiment with
reference to the leasing of voncicts by
this state:
Il am going to make my chief APP
peal" said Mr.. Gibbons. ION the issue
of prison reform. / shall advocate
the abolition of our system Of leasing
convicts and recommend that the men
be put to work on the public roads,
an employment that Is at once humane
to them and of benefit to the taxpay-
ers. They can also be utilized on
plantations which the state should ac-
quire for the purpose of producing
supplies needed for the subsistence of
the convicts themselves. In this way
they will not come into competition
with the labor OF free and reputable
citizens The leasing policy has been
condemned by an enlightened public
opinion everywhere. and the state
should not give 1t further counte
nance"

WILFRID HAS GONE TO WORK

The opening gun in the campaign
which will determine the fate OF the
reciprocity pact between the United
States and Canada was fired in Ottawa
Monday by tie liberal leader. Sir Will
frid Laurier! 1t was in the form Of an
open address to the Canadian people
and in 1T Is set forth very clearly the
issues involved in the present cam
paign.
The present conservative party, he
declared, is seeking to reverse this
lifelong policy Of its leader of the
past. The enactment of the agreement,
the premier predicts, would further
improve the friendly relations exist
ing between Great Britain. Canada and
the United States. and would be an
important factor in bringing about a
general treaty Of arbitration.
Sir Wilfrid then referred to the re-
ciprocity agreemnt Of 1854 entered
into between Canada and the United
States which terminated in 1866.
Ever since the termination of that
treaty. said. he, call public men of any
prominence in Canada, whatever their
differences on other questions, have
been unanimous in the attempt to
again secure the free exchange of nat
ura1 products. Nor is this to be won
dered at, seeing that in the industries
of agriculture, fisheries, numbering and
mining. Canada possesses advantage
not enjoyed by any other country on
earth and that upon the markets Sc
cured for the products of these. indus
tries depends the growth Of our manu-
featuring and commercial interests
and prosperity of all classes in the
Dominion"
Reciprocity will win in the forth
coming general election. This is in
dictated by a preliminary canvass OF
the situation made in Parliament. The
real opinions of representative mem
bers of the House, both liberal and
conservative. were sought as to the re-
suit In each province. When correlat-
ed these show a safe majority for the
liberal party. This is necessarily a
long-range estimate. The personal
element OF candidates yet to be nomi
mated. the diligence Of the campaign
organizations and the plentitude OF
paucity of funds may alter the situa.
ton.
The Laurier government has a ma.
jority of As in the House, which di.
vides TINS.

Suppose, before we go any further in
the matter of an union passenger sta
ton that We obtain legal advice as to
just what the city can do in regard to
routes and rights of way. 1t may be
that the city has a right to require any
railroad to move its tracks from one
street to another, and it maybe that it
hasn't. We have known some cities to
compel railroads to shift their tracks
but the said cities had much greater
resources than ours. The Star hasn't
opposed the proposition of an union
station. nor has it "squabbled" as
"Selah," whoever he is, carelessly as
serts, but it thinks it is a mighty good
thing for US to know our foundation
before we begin to build There is a
whole lot of things that the city can
do that il doesn't do. in which il is like

do what it can do, it is useless to spec
