Ocala Is having an object lesson
now in the enforcement of a law that
doesn't suit good sized minority.
The reckless driving of a few careless
autoists has brought about the rigid
enforcement of the ordinance in such
a manner THAT its weight has So far
been felt principally by careful peo-
pie, who have always observed the
spirit of the law and not neglected its
letter enough TO do any harm. No
matter how entirely man of this dis
position may admit the justice Of a
law, he can't help feeling sore II he
has to bear the full brunt of 1t.
great deal of popular feeling is
shown In and about blowing auto
horns. The majority now, as ever.
blow their horns at the corners and
crossings, some, who always had good
intentions. but were forgetfui. have
had their memories enlivened. and a
few show their disapproval Of the law
by footing their bazoos not only to the
legal limit. but beyond the limit for
all nervous persons.
The racket made by auto and motor
cycle horns is at some times and
some places more than some fierce.
One nervous lady, who lives near a
frequented corner, declares that she Is
going to wire to Chattahoochee, Il
have the parlor suite in the lunatie
asylum reserved for her, and others
are almost as badly off.
However. all good citizens should
observe the law, no matter if 1t does
inconvenience some Its general prfn-
ciple is good, even tho it is somewhat
unsymmetrical in its effect. and al
should remember that it will take ar
immense amount of personal conven-
fence to pay for one life lost, or ever
one limb crippled. by carelessness
There is a good and practical way tt
amend all uneven laws, and the aut<
association formed Tuesday night viii
try to find it. In the meantime, lie
every autoist blow his bazoo in a way
to warn his neighbor without driving
him crazy.

GALLAGHER LET GO

Congressional investigation of the
baseball trust, the most audacious
and autocratic trust in the country,
was proposed in resolution introduc-
ed into the House by Representative
Gallagher of Illinois Tuesday. The
measure would create a special COM
mittee of seven representatives to- in
quire of the Department of Justice
what steps have been taken against
the baseball trust as against other IL
legal combinations" to subpoena wit
nesses and employ assistants. It ac-
cused the baseball trust of presum-

officials announcing daily through the
press the dictates of a governing COM

ed from playing" Mr.. Gallagher said
the Department of Justice knew there
was such a trust under the law.

but as there is much fun and some
sense in the Josh Billingseque compo-
sition. we relax the rule for once:
Editor Star: I have noticed several
times in the papers where people have
been writing about fast and reckless
driving with automobiles and motor
cycles. / wish to say that I am in a
position to know what I am writing
about and il the reader don't believe
1t and fast driving is not stopped some
thing is going to happen that will
make them believe it. The writer hears
hundreds Of people talking and there
Is going to be something doing If the
automobile fools don't use some judg-
ment and regard the person in a
Wagon or a buggy as human. Every
time any thing happens with car its
an accident. What would people say
il some reckless driver running at a
rate of forty or fifty miles an hour
was to strike ones team and maby
kill some one. I can tell you what
they would say. Oh it's to bad that
car ran into that mans team I am sor-
ry that accident occurred. I want to
say right here that its no accident.
Well what is it. It's just that darn
fool that don't care if he does run over
some one and just as shure as. they
don't stop running by people as they do
| just that shure some one will stop
| them with a rifle ball some night and
no one will ever know who done it..
The writer is good natured and gives
them the road but the writer has heard
some strong threats and from men
that will do what they say. Better
take my advice and pass people a lit
tie more gent1eman1y be for you are
stopped passing for good. Guess some
of these hothead fools will laugh at
this when they see it in print but It
only a warning. Did you ever stop to
think how many tires could be ruined
with one glass bottle and maby some
good mans tire be ruined on account
of some fools doeings. 1t is time for
the man who drives at a reasonable
rate Of speed to doe something to pro-
tect him self against glass and the
fool better try to protect him self

undesirable and a location is being
considered on Bullock Heights on the
west side of South Orange street. al

take should be made in locating it.

ney as to the rights of the association
