THE OLIVE BRANCH

The election is over. with the .ex-
ception of casting a few belated
votes, and counting the ballots and
announcing the result.
The contest has been, compar-
ativeIy speaking, a quiet one Some
Of the most Objectionable features of
former campaigns have been elimi-
mated. Both parties have shown a
commendable disposition 10 confine
the dispute TO home folks and not in
troduce any foreign firebrands to
add to the ul-feeling.
Nevertheless. there has been too
much i'll humor. And the Star ex-
presses the sentiment OF the most
moderate and public-spirited of both
parties when it advises that the re-
suit be accepted without undue ella
ton by the victors and in good faith
by the vanquished, and that we all
go back to the affairs of everyday
life and the work of building up our
county.
The prohibitionists went into the
campaign with the sincere desire of
making their little corner of the
world better. The saloon people
have worked from the very natural
motive of protecting their interests.
Each side will be consistent and
charitable if it extends a great deal

The Star has had its rays rubbed
the wrong way by people on both
sides. 1t hasn't retaliated, it is will

have peace.

MAKING THE MEN
AFRAID TO MARRY

Tampa Tribune: When we con-
slider some of the legislation that is
now finding it's way to the statute
books we can hardly wonder that
men should feel increasingly afraid
to marry. And, by the way, it is a
little remarkable that at a time
when we are all asked to join in a
cry for the equality of the sexes
there should be hundreds of laws in
tended to regulate the relations of
men to women and hardly a single
law prescribing the relations of wO-
men to men. For example, the alb
original minds of the state of Wash
ington have recently enacted what
they call a lazy husband law" We
do not know the precise provisions Of
this law, but any one can guess who
is familiar with the workings of the
primitive intelligence. But why is
there no lazy. wife law" Are not
women just as prone to laziness as
men, and with even more disastrous

thought he was trying to serve. The
postoffice clerk who gave out the in
formation that throws suspicion on
Mr.. Phillips, is also to be condemn
ed. Aside from the fact that Mr..
Phillips seems TO have always treat
ed him we'll when he was in the en-
ploy of the telephone company, he
had no business as postal employe
to give out any information regard
ing the mail that passed through his
hands. The Star does not know
whether he has laid himself liable to
a penal charge or not, but it has
heard a number of people, not all of
them prohibitionists, say they are re-
luctant to have him handle their
mail, and it thinks the least the de-
partment can do is TO dispense with
his services.

The Star has received the pros
stitute, Rochester, n. Y, one of the
leading business schools of the Uni
ted States, and one that with its
last term finished half a century of
usefulness. The most interesting
thing about this school to a FlOrid-
ian is the fact that the assistant
principal is John F. Forbes, who was
the first president of Stetson Univer-
city, and a man recognized for a doz-
en- years or more as one of the lead
ing educators of Florida. DR.. Forbes
took charge of DeLand Academy
over twenty-five years ago when it
was only a little piny-wOods school,
and built it up into the biggest col
lege in Florida. Only the State Uni
versity has outstripped it, and that
since DR.. Forbes resigned. 1t is safe
to say that if it had had not been for
Forbes, there would have been no
Stetson University. He interested
Mr.. Stetson in the school, and for
years after directed the work and
development that the philanthropist's
money furnished means to carry on.
He had the natural talent of a born
educator as we'll as the scientific
training given by the best of schools.
All over Florida are men and women
who love and honor the name of
John F. Forbes, and all will be glad
that he is we'll and happy and pros
porous in his native state, and if any
of them want their children given a
first-class business education under
his direction, the Star will be glad to
give them his address.

Elsewhere We print a communica-
ton from Secretary Rooney regard
ing the location of the high school.
1t has been the Stars opinion for
some months that the proposed loca-
ton of the school was not the best,
and it has heard many well-posted
citizens express the same idea. The
present location Of the high school
is better for the entire city than
either the new location or the one
suggested by Mr.. Rooney, and the
Star recommends to the school board
that it hold on to the lot until the
times comes, which will be in few
years, when increase of population
will demand yet another school
house. AS all people know, the
high school lot is a mighty good one,
and keeping it will save the district
big expense some time in the next
ten years.

st. Joseph's Academy at Loretto
will open on the 10Th. This is one
of the best schools for boys of the
ages from seven to fifteen in the
state. The school gives a careful
and practical training in the most
necessary branches of education, and
takes good care, morally and physi-
cally of it's pupils. 1t is most health
fully located and cases of sickness
among its pupils are rare. A great
many Florida boys, including not a
few from Marion county, have been
educated in this school, and they all
prove it's good work. The Star can
personally recommend it. Send to
the Sister Superior, st. Joseph
Academy, Loretto, Fla, for a cata-
logue.
The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1913-09-16

There is such a thing as literary
style, and it is very hard to conceal.
The Star thinks it recognizes the
literary style of the author of the
famous or infamous circular, "Show
this to Your Neighbour" signed AN
Old Prophet" that has caused such
a stir in this county in the last four
days, and the style is not the style of
Mr.. J. p. Phillips. Circumstances
support the Stars supposition. The
Star will not waste any time in argu-
ing with people who insist that the
vets concocted and sent out the cir
cular. 1t is unreasonable to think
they would do so. 1t was smart
and INSCRIPTIONS election trick, and
if it had been put off till Sunday it
would have cost the wet people
many votes. AS it is, it is likely to
prove a boomerang. The Star does
not see why any man should change
his vote on account of it. 1t does
not affect the principle of prohibit
ton, but issuing it was entirely un-
worthy of any party, let alone a
party of morals, and the Star is quite
sure that the author will receive his
most severe condemnation from the
men and women he mistakenly

results? And now these legislative
free-folk are trying to arrange for
extradition for their previous law.
And yet we complain that the mar
riage rate is falling while on every
hand we find that laws are being
passed on the assumption that the
man who wants to marry is presump-
lively a criminal. That he is pre-
sumptiyely a lunatic goes without
saying.
1t is the custom now in some east
ern states to ask the man point
blank whether he is an idiot. They
ask him other things, too, things
that would bring a blush to the dam
ask cheek of a horse dragon. 1t is
all very we'll to ask women questions
of this kind. They don't mind. But
men do mind And fancy asking a
man who is about to be married
whether he is an idiot. Would he be
there at all if he were not an idiot?
Probably he does not know it. Idiots
never do. But all his married friends
have told him so.
How long will men put up with
this sort of thing? 1t has always
taken a good deal of courage to be
married and to face the rigors nat
urally incident to that holy but mel
ancholy state. But if henceforth we
can get married only by purchased
permission of the quack doctor, thru
disgusting formulas Of the quack
clergymen, and with the baton of the
policeman fiourished before our eyes
we may we'll look a little extra long
before we leap and endure the ills
we have rather than fly to others we
| know not of. After all it is we'll to
remember that the devil is quick to
suggest alternatives, and probably
there is nothing that gives the devil
quite such intense satisfaction as
| lazy husband laws" eugenic laws,
sex hygene laws, and all other filthy
nostrums of our modern social re-
| former And there is nothing that
| the devil hates quite so much as the
! easy path to the youthful marriage.

Senator Fletcher, in an interview
given out in Washington Monday,

from what we know of the senator,
we should not think him capable of
any such small business.

The change in the Ocala Northern
schedule will not be popular, partic-

to reach the springs on Sunday. 1t

it will pay the road.
