The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1911-11-13

Charlie Jones in Dixie of the 18th
tells good story on W. r. Carter of
the Metropolis. regarding a snipe hunt
that he alleges Carter took while he
was doing the What the Dickey Birds
are Saying stunts for John Temple
Graves Florida Herald in the early
eighties. He also tells OF the elegant
write-up given of the affair by Hamil-
ton Jay in the Florida Times-Union.
Mr.. Jones story is interesting and
humorous, but it has one weak point
John Temple Graves Herald was sold
to the Daily News early in 1887, and
it was not until two years later that
Hamilton Jay took the position of
city editor of the Times-Union. In all
friendship to Charlie Jones, who is one
of the brightest and most useful writ
ers on the Florida press, the Star sug-
gests that he give little less of his
valuable space to showing up the de-
rciencies of the Metropolis. The Nets
failings are we'll known to all the
newspaper men of the state. But Mr.
Jones has attacked it so unremitting-
ly that his utterances begin to have
the flavor of personal i'll will more
than public spirit. The Star would
like to see Mr.. Jones use his very capa-
BILE pencil against greater evils. The
Metropolis, like all other daily papers.

SHORT TALKS TOO SHORT

Perhaps the Star in it's issue of Fri
day answered the Short Talks man of
the Times Union somewhat too tartly
in regard to the little dispute about
the Baker County Standard. The edi-
tor was in the hurry Of closing up the
paper, and he possibly resented the
patronizing, half-threatening tone OF
the Times-Union man more than was
either necessary or appropriate.
The Star, while not personally &C
quainted with him, has always highly
esteemed the Short Talks man for his
work For number of years he has
made a speciality Of making kind and
encouraging statements about people
and enterprises Of Florida and his de-
partment has become a lottery in
which almost everyone entitled to a
complimentary newspaper notice might
draw a prize. Particularly has he been
alert to see the merits Of the country
press, and has warmed the heart Of
many a struggling editor by his grace
fully bestowed tributes. He has not
only given bouquets to the deserving
and handed taffy to many who needed
rather than earned it, but his depart
ment has been of much solid good to
the state. The Star had come TO think
of him as a serenely kind old Santa
Claus sitting in his den with an I'M
broken smile on his face and handing
out gifts all the year to the grown-ul
children. So it was not a little sur
prised at his very out-of-place COM
ment on the Baker County Standard
and the tone of his reply to the Star
created the impression that the real
Short Talks man is sick or on a vaca-
ton and a substitute is playing hanky-
panky with his department.
It has become well-recognizet
principle of newspaper ethics that il
is not proper to refer to the typo
graphical failings of an opponent il
conducting an argument Any eXper
fenced newspaper man knows Otter
the greatest care fails to entirel!
guard against mistakes. \ typograph
ical mistake is nearly always a mis-
fortune, and it is bad taste, at the very
least, to sneer at misfortune. If i
was good form and worth while fo
one paper to call attention to the er
rors of another, the T.-U. could fur
nish considerable employment for an,
writer with half a proofreader's eye.
The Short Talks man says: "Th'
Times Union would ask what it can do
when attacked by a little editor wh'
poses as knowing it all, although too
busy to even read proof on his owl
criticism"
Well, if he says anything worth
answering, give him the reply h,
merits: if he doesn't. do not NOTES
him. To call attention to mistake
that most likely hurried or incom
petent printer made, is not only no ar
gument. but questionable taste, espe
cially in a big paper like the Times

OF EDEN,
LEFT FROM THE FALL

Every time the editor has chance.
he goes TO see John Heintz at the
greenhouse Mr.. Heintz is a native of
Luxembourg. little corner of Europe
about as big as Marion county, but
with a population of a quarter Of
million. They do things carefully
rather than extensively in Mr. Heintz's
native land, and he brought many Of
it's painstaking traits with him to this
big, slapdash republic. where we live
so much that We have not entirely
learned to live well. The greenhouse is
always a pretty place, and seldom
prettier than now, when the chrysan
themums are nearing their full beauty,
and the modest loneliness Of the violet,
sweetest of flowers, is just timidly
smiling through the protecting green
of the leaves around it. The roses, as
ever, queen it over the other flowers,
and the imperial Gamma lilies flaunt
their scarlet banners above all. And
the ferns and the reeds and the orna-
mental grasses. grown for contrast to
the flowers, like those who also serve
because they stand and wait" have
their own important place Of quiet
prettiness in this little kingdom Of
beauty. John moves among his flow
ers like a benevolent genie among
fairies. They owe their beauty to his
care, and he knows them all, and tho
it is money in his pocket he feels some
regret even to his finger tips every
time he sewers a blossom from its par
ent stem. Also. if he knows you truly
appreciate the flowers, he takes more
pleasure in picking and arranging
| them for you than for some person to
whom "a primrose in the hedges brim.
a yellow primrose is to him Fortu-
nately there are few such in our Gull
tured town.
Flowers are the sweetest of human
| itys friends. They should never be
handled roughly or considered care
lessly, or applied to any inappropriate
use. To add to joy, to lessen sorrow
to blossom with the beauty of happy

| that are darkened, TO lie gently on the
| biers of the beloved dead, such are
their sacred and beautiful uses. Toe
| many treat them as they do their owr
and other peoples feelings, tearing

careless qualification, then throwing

them in prodiga1 profusion on wantor

innocent lives the pathway of brute
success and denying them to honora

Of many who are forgotten almost a!
soon as the blossoms fade but stint

if so, Heaven must be getting some

the flowers have souls, they must hat
the debauches they often deck wors

times coil beneath their bloom. The!

FRIENDS OF WILSON
NEEDN'T BE FRIGHTENED

Woodrow Wilson's friends needn't
think the reverses to the New Jersey
democracy in the election of the 18th
have put him out of the presidential
running. Not only did the republicans
make special efforts to beat Governor
Wilson in his own state, but a certain
class Of democrats that the governors
policy has angered voted against him
en- masse. 1t has been said of South
ern democrats that they would vote
for a yellow dog if he was the nom
inee, but it can be said with more
truth of the gang class of Northern
democrats that they would vote for a
yellow dog with the republican nomi-
nation, If he suited their ward bosses.
in preference to good man of their
own party. Wilson's policy as COVER
nor has solidified against him all the
evil elements in New Jersey politics,
but that should do him no harm in ma
tional affairs.

A GOOD MOVE

A movement is on foot in Ocala to
collect monthly a fund to advertise
Ocala in Jacksonville. The plan is,
briefly. to provide funds to keep live
man in that city during the winter
months to look after the new arrivals
there who are seeking homes and
steer them this way. and to provide
them with literature descriptive of
Marion county and Ocala. The fund
would also be used to cover the ex-
pense of the advertising matter There
is no doubt but Ocala does not get her
share Of the people who reach the
state. Other sections have wide awake
men in Jacksonville, who collar the
visitors and take them home.

"RESIGN BEFORE RUNNING"

There are two sides to every ques-
ton, and if Attorney General Tram
NELL, Railroad Commissioner Burr and
State Attorney Phillips should resign
before going any further in their race
for office. congressman Sparkman and
Clark and every other statesman now
in office should do likewise. What is
sauce for the goose is also sauce for
the gander, and serving out impartial
doses of it would, in the Stars opin-
ion, cause more confusion in the pub
lie service than the accession Of
rather useless morality would pay for.

It's rather amusing to hear the COM
ments OF the ladies on Rudyard Kip
ling's latest poem, in which he max es
out woman to be fercer, more implaca-
BILE, less open to reason than man. He
gives man a stock of virtues that Gre
really less honorable to him than the
failings that he ascribes to woman.
But while the ladies denounce the poet
as a liar and a villain. the men, among
themselves, admit with many chuekles
that the poet has both sexes sized up
about right.
