HOOKER is PROGRESSIVE

Announcement has been made by
Mr.. William Hooker OF this city of his
candidacy for the position OF national
committeeman in the ensuing primar-
les. Mr.. Hooker states In literature
sent out by him that his choice for the
presidency rests either with Oscar I'm
derwood or Woodrow Wilson
In making his announcement, Mr.
Hooker says:
while the duties of this office are
more or less perfunctory, and do not
involve any question of national poll
cy, it would perhaps be but fair fol-
me to say that / do not class myself
among the conservatives Of the party
I properly belong with that element
that recognizes the fact that certain
changes are necessary to be made, and
certain policies followed out, so while
/ do not belong to the stand-pat ele
ment, of course, I am not prepared -tt
endorse as necessary or proper all o.
the changes which are proposed by ths
more radical element of the party I'm
less convinced that they were un
available. my choice for the presidenc,
would be either Oscar Underwood OF

CAN HIGH TARIFF
SURVIVE ANOTHER CAMPAIGN

Says the Springfield. Mass. Repub-
lican, published in one of the rock
ribbed fortresses of protection:
I'm a tariff campaign next autumn.
one can already see certain deadly eff
fects. The old argument that high
duties are necessary to protect Ameri-
can labor will suffer the torments of
the damned from the facts as to the
employment of foreign labor in Massa-
chusetts textile industries and the iron
and steel industries of Pennsylvania.
The Lawrence strike has ruthlessly
paraded before the American people
the fact that large proportion of the
mill operatives, many of whom work
for 81. IS and IS a week, cannot even
speak the English language. In the
steel mills Of Pennsylvania the same
condition prevails. Is this the Amer
lean labor" the country has been ask
ed to protect all these years? On the
contrary. 1t is the 'pauper labor Of Eu-
rope transported into our own mills
by the manufacturers who pleaded so
hard to be protected against 1t. Can
the protectionists live through another
campaign"

Why Bayona Played Badly.

Juan Antonio Bayona played the
trombole badly the other night at the
performance in a Madrid theater. The
soprano was singing and Bayona's dis
cordant notes disturbed her and the
audience as we'll. Disturbed most of
all was the conductor Of the orches.

got it.
AS Bayona was entering the theater
that evening his cigar fell from its
holder. In STOPPING to pick up the
cigar his eye fell on newspaper clip.
ping He picked that up also, and this
is what he read:
A rich Spanish merchant has just
died in California, leaving a fortune OF

his brother, Juan Antonio Bayona
sole executor. Inquiries made at the
consulate only prove that Juan An

PERSIAN LORE ABOUT ROSE
Nightingale Sings His Frenzied Love
for that Flower and Dies
Beneath Rosebush.

Persian legendary lore tells some
faEcifuI stories about the rose which
have great poetic charm. Tor example.
the poet Altar wrote The Book of the
Nightingale" telling how all the other
birds appeared in anger before the
throne Of Solomon, asking him to de-
stroy the nightingale, which would not
allow them TO rest by night, but pour
ed forth its lays when peaceful ST.
lence should rein all over the earth
After prolonged argument the bird was
acquitted, for it explained with such
pathos that its untimely melody could
not be restrained because Of its fren-
zied love for the rose, a passion so
hopeless and undying that it could
never be made voiceless. Another
Persian belief is that nightingales al
ways die beneath rose bushes stupe-
fed by the scent. jamie, a Persian
poet, wrote Of how ''the first rose ap-
peared in Gulistan at the time the
flowers demanded a new sovereign
from Allah, because the drowsy lotus
would slumber at night. At first the
! maiden queen blossom was shown
| white. and encircled with a protecting
guard Of thorns, but the poor night
gale fell into such an ecstasy of love
over her charms, and so recklessly
pressed his lovelorn heart against
those cruel thorns, that his blood, so
far as it -ould trickle into the flowers
| bosom, dyed it crimson"
Another fancy states that the Per
! fume Of the rose was gained from a
cup of nectar thrown over it by the
little god Cupid, while it's thorns were
! those stings Of bees used by him
as arrows in his wrath at finding
some roses scentless after all his
| trouble.
The beds of the Shahs Of Persia In
ancient times were filled with rose
petals, which had to be often scattered
/ lest they become uncomfortable. This
must surely have been the origin OF
the saying: HE would complain OF
a bed of roses" 1t was also claim.
ed that a rose liquor would "by one
| glassful make the sternest monarch
merciful or the sickliest mortal slum
Der amid his palms.
The rose is mathematical of joy and
| love, and was consecrated to Venus
the goddess of beauty, from whose
path it was said to have first sprung
! Crimson roses, "gemmed with dew
drops" formed the GROWING garland
of the Romans youthful Comus. goo
Of feasting, and the Turks believed i
absolutely wicked to step on a rose

Educational PROGRESS.

In the decade 19O0-1910 greater
progress was made in educational
conditions in the United States than
IN any previous 10 years in the coun'

Normal schools from $2,769,0OO to
$6,620000, and the value Of school
property from s55O,OO0,O00 to over
s1,000000,000. Public High schools
increased from 5000 to 1928, their
teachers from about 10000 to over
41,000, and enrolled High school pu
pills from $4,000 to 100000.
The average length of the common
school term increased from 144 to
156 days, and the average attendance
Of pupils from SO to ia days.
An advance from s166,175 900 to
S273, 900 was made in the produc

p. H. Nugent for Clerk of Circuit Court
that l am a candidate for nomination
for clerk in the coming primary. To
the gentlemen who kindly oppose me
on the ground that I was not born in
Florida, l simply say that thirty years
residence here should identify me
enough with this county to hold office
and point to the honorable records in
office here of E. p. Thagard, E. L.
Carney Alfred Aver, Mr. Wartmann,
to the governor of the state, Gilchrist,
all born out of Florida. AS there has
been some talk about Mr.. Sistrunk and
myself doing so-called trading, / wish
to say that | have no apology to make
for putting off my candidacy four
years, a the personal request of Mr..
Sistrunk, as it involved no wrong
whatever to any man nor barred any
man from running in the 1908 primary.
Equally the 1912 primary is still
open to all Months ago I published
Mr. Sistrunk's pledge in all the coun-
ty papers, not waiting until just be-
fore the primary, and 1 will cordially
greet any clean citizen of this county
who may become candidate for clerk,
and if defea ted by him, will accept the
result cheerfully in a perfectly friend
ly spirit. Very truly,

ADVERTISING MARION COUNTY
Commodore Goodwin Endorses the
star ana Adds some Valuable
Advice

Editor star: l appreciate and ap-
pIaud heartily your position on Mar
ion county advertising That Marion
county pamphlet issued TWO years ago
was one Of the most effective adver
tisemenIs I ever knew I am not par
ticular modest in this statement, as I
was responsible for the making Of
good part of the matter in that pam
phIet. But the printer did his full part
and the issue was interested va ening
and people-getti
/ had expected 70 find time to sug-
gest TO the county commissioners that
the booklet be revised and re-publisa-
ed, but YOU have saved me the trouble.
II should be calculated by advertise
ments in weekly papers that reach
good farming sections in the north. A
little money goes a long way in such
advertising. The idea is TO induce in
terested people TO send for a copy
The book will do all the Advertising
necessary. It was conservative in its
statements and official in its utterance
At the time Of its publication I sug-
gested that a uniformed man distribute
copies on the southbound trains on
both lines of road. The board of trade
could best do this The tide flows full
county \ little Of II should be stop
ped here. Passengers crowd the, plat
forms as the trains stop at Eastlake
and go into raptures over the beauties
of Lake Weir. and ask what body of
water it is Lake Weir is not shown
| on some railroad maps.
| When W. C. Rowley, general freight
agent Of the Michigan Central, was my
guest last winter at the Oaks, he sent
! a letter to the Atlantic Coast Line peO-
pie which indicated what the Michigan
Central would do with a property of
such potentialities as Lake Weir. 1t
stirred up things for brief time, but
the Coast Line quickly became placid
again-its normal condition. We are
almost fighting TO get our depot at
! Eastlake open to shelter passengers.
II have finally secured the promise of
General superintendent Riddle of an
immediate investigation of the situa-
ton. The railroads could easily do a
heap more for Marion county-and
themselves. The railroads have other
sections to develop. and each section
must lead the way for itself. No coun-
ty in the state has such facts Of pro-
ductiyity behind it. Marion county is
in the citrus belt. and has the rea
Florida atmosphere. and yet it is not
so far south that tourists start north
in March to get out of the enervatine
heat.
The county wants farmers: manu-
factories will follow. The county com
missioners could not spend money more
sjudiciously and profitably than in the
circulation of such an effective presen-
. ltation of the county's resources as wa!
contained in the pamphlet mentioned

ment in a state paper would be WORT

At the Temple Theater Friday Night,
February 10th

Maud Powell, who is acknowledged
to be the greatest of women violinists
and the peer Of all her brother viz
tuosos, has probably travelled more
than any artist before the public to-
day. There is hardly a country in the
world IN which she has not been heard.
All of Europe. including Russia and
Finland, has paid tribute TO her art
and she has been a welcome visitor in
South Africa and the AntipOdes. On
the American continent, her playing
has delighted audiences from the Rio
Grande to far off Nova Scotia. The
South American capitals are the only
places where Madame Powell has never
been heard and she has received many
offers to tour on the other side of the
equator. which she has had to decline
on account of her many engagements
in this country.
