PUBLIC LIBRARY'S
NEED IS PRESSING

The Ocala Public Library finds Itself
in the condition of Noah's dove.
For a number of years Mrs. d. NJ.
Smith, with much Kindness and pub
lie spirit, has given the library a
home. Now. in putting up her new
building, it becomes necessary to tear
out wall In the old one, and this
compe1s the library to move.
Miss Louise Gamsby, the faithful Ii
brarian, who has served for seventeen
years without any remuneration, asks
il there Is not some ubiic-spirited
citizen who can give the books a tenn
porary home. Mr. VI. ]. Roess has as
sured her that il the library can hold
out another year, 1t will be all right,
but some one is needed to bridge the
gap.
The latest magazines just in will be
lost or spoiled, IL there is not a place
to put them
What has become Of the Carnegie
library proposition, anyhow? Seems to
the Star like ii Is time the idea was
assuming concrete form.

LIGHTS LATEST

To the lucid Mr. Light-Greeting:
Yours received and contents printed.
Some of it looks good, to you, but, it
won't stand analysis.
You are a better statesman than
some, an interesting writer ON some
lines, an al philosopher and some
punkins as a farmer, though few of
your neighbors are mean enough to
say you raise more hell than corn But
il you tried to run printing office,
we opine you would run it in the
ground.
Following is the portion of the law
applicable to the case in hand and COW
ering the portion the Star was con-
cerned in and spoke about in the arti-
Gle that brought forth your communi-
cation The matter of posting the no
tees did not concern us and was not
mentioned by this paper. The ques-
ton was raised by Mr.. Sistrunk ask
ing the Star if we would publish the
financial statement of the county for
one year for $40.
In Section 772, Page 1896, General
Laws of Florida, the following will be
found: "And il there is a newspaper
published in said county. they shall
cause a publication of the said state
ment to be made: provided. the expense
of said publication shall not exceed
ten dollars" We may have been mis-
taken about the legislature of 1905
passing it, but all the same, it is there
We didn't observe what the Hi1lsbore
commissioners did We know about
what it would cost to print the state
ment of warrants for Marion county
1t would take at least 10000 ems OF
double price composition, and the
typesetting alone would cost more
than $40.
We don't charge legal rates for pub
fishing the commissioners proceed
ings because we don't have to take
the same amount of trouble with it W,
do with legal advertising: because i
is news matter. though much less con
densed than if it were written by {
reporter. and it costs no more to fill
space with il than any other sort o
reading.
The reason why we can publish tn
laws of 1911 for 500 is that they ar
printed on the cooperation plan. w
will not make any vast margin o
profit on them.
If we do not make money on som
kinds Of printing. Mr.. Light. We coul
not run a paper in which to publish
your gems of thought. We have neve
seen anybody who was willing to pa
anything for the privilege of reading
them
As for your attacks on the count,
commissioners. we leave them to an
swer you One of the former boar
seems to have been about all yo
could attend to.

NOT ALL RUssIA's FAULT

Joseph Edgar Chamberlin in letter
to the New York Evening Mail. says:
Bankers, chiefs Of well known trad
ing firms, travellers, attorneys, clerks
and agents of such firms"-these are
the only Americans whom, IT they
happen to be of the Jewish faith. Rus
STA will admit to her domnions at any
time. Evidently the Russian states
men have the idea that business and
money making are all-important in
the United States: and that all they
have to do, in dealing with us. is to
put the dollar above the man in order
to meet the full American require
ment."
An unwise discrimination, but not
altogether the fault of Russia. If any
other country puts money higher above
the man than this one does. we feel
sorry for It.

CALOMEL SOMETIMES
CAUSES SALVATION
DodsOn's Liver-TOne Has All the Me-
dicinal Properties of CalOmeI with
None of the Dangerous After
Effects

You can get along without taking
calomel yourself or giving it to your
family when you can buy a substitute
for it as good as Dodson's Liver Tone
Dodson's Liver-Tone is a pure, harm
less vegetable liquid that starts the
liver to action just as surely as Gallo
mel does. But, unlike calomel, Dod-
sons Liver-Tone does not stimulate
the liver too much. 1t cures consti-
patton gently instead of making you
more bilious than you were at first,
and it can no more salivate you than
a tablespoonful of maple syrup can
salivate you.
Dodson's Liver-Tone has given such
perfect satisfaction to every person to
whom the Court Pharmacy has sold a
bottle that this store will give the
money back to any person who buys a
bottle and does not find it perfect
substitute for calomel. 1t is worth
something to you to try a medicine
with a guarantee like that.
