and further provides, in section D.,
that the writ of garnishment, execu-
ton or other processes shall not issue
out of any court to reach any money
due or likely to become due, as dam

In other words, it is proposed to per-
nit dishonest employe to recover

juries received through his own care
lessness and negligence, and then to
permit him, when he RECEIVERS such a
Judgment, to defeat an honest grocer
or butcher bill by preventing the col
lection of an honest debt through
such judgment so received.
This is certainly splendid exam
pie of modern, so-called progressive
legislation If more of the same kind
of bills were introduced it would
have the salutary effect of dissipating
and eradicating the present hysteria

My life for more than a quarter of
century in this state evidences that

i've and progressive lines, but if to be
present-day progressive means ref
erendum, initiative, woman suffrage,
prohibition, a denial of the doctrine
of equal rights to all, and an overturn-

doctrines as constructed by fancy

what now people are termed to call
progressive.
1 sincerely trust that you gentle
men will not pass the bills, and
would be glad if you would read this
communication to your committee
This state is now more prosperous
than it has ever been, but if some OF
the bills along so-called progressive
lines now pending in the legislature
are passed it will receive a severe
and paralyzipg check.

ROONEY GETS HIS FLAG

One among the first things Secre-
tary Rooney OF the Ocala board of
trade promised to do after he got
thoroughly installed in office was to
have a flag flying from the top of the
band stand.
Mr.. Rooney has made his promise
good. Public Spirited Fred Magaw
not only donated the flag-a large
and elegant one-but has made ar
rangements to have it hoisted every
fair day for a year, and tomorrow it
will make its initial bow to the people
of our city, and We hope that it may
never cease to wave cheer after cheer
to it's patriotic donor
Mr.. Rooney has not only procured
the flag, but he has had the band
stand repaired and painted, and his
next effort will be to secure a still
larger flag to wave from the dome of
the court house.
