THE DISTRICT ATTORNEYsHIP

There are three democratic candi-
dates for the office of district attor-
ney now held by Mr.. Richard p. Marks
for the southern district of Florida
Mr.. Edwin w. Davis of Ocala, Mr.. Her
bert S. Phillips of Tampa, and Mr.. w.
NJ Toomer of Jacksonville.
The record made by ED Davis" in
the state courts, shows plainly that he
is the kind of man that will not fall
ter in his work for the public as long
as there is a point to make or stone
to turn in prosecution. Not vindic-
tive man, and as ready a defend
ants own attorney to accept proof Of
innocence, he has been tireless in his
efforts to bring offenders to justice.
He is a self-made man, a wire grass"
lawyer, who by hard work and hard
study has fought his way to the front
rank Of his profession; also, he is free
from the suspicion of corporate in
fiuence that often unjustly, but too
often Justly, casts a doubt on the de-
votion to the public Of many able at
torneys.
Started principally for political eff
feet under Roosevelt, but carried on in
a business-like way under Taft, the
efforts of the department of justice to
curb the power of the great trusts
have become one of the first of the ma
tional issues. Fooled again and again
by the immense resources of the cor
porations, the government always re-
turns to the work with grim earnest
ness and bulldog pertinacity. Under
Wilson's administration, this work
will go steadily forward; and his home
people who have known his record can
T-Hz A.
who can be trusted to hold firm a
place in the line which. like the old
time legion of the Roman republic,
goes not back.
Mr.. Phillips is also progressive
man and an aggressive lawyer, and as
a. prosecuting lawyer for the state is
The Star naturally prefers it's home
man. but must say that Mr.. Phillips
is by no means deficient in ability to
MI the place.
AS for Mr.. Toomer, he is an able
lawyer and an estimable gentleman.
but the people OF Florida may be ex-
cused for thinking that the same in
fiuences that showed him into the race
against Claude L'Engle are also back
ing him in his aspirations for the dis
trict attorneyship, and might shape
his official actions if he was appointed.
This feeling may be unjust to Mr..
Toomer, but 1t nevertheless exists;
there also exists a very strong feel
ing that the administration will be
more successful and the people better
served If only men free from suspicion
OF corporation influence are put in Of
nee, particularly in the department of
Justice

Buy REAL ESTATE

It is always good advice TO buy real
estate. It is particularly good advice
to buy real estate in OcaIa. Values in
Ocala real estate are governed by the
location. They are all good-one place
is as good as another and the invest
ment is as good In one part of town as
in another. Close in the lots are high,
further out IN the ratio Of the dis
tance from the square, the prices come
down 4 thousand dollars invested in
one place is as safe and as well invest
ed as another. However, the chances
for its increase in value are rather in
favor of the outlying districts for
there the investor can participate in
the advance that by virtue of others
investing and building, viii be very
rapid.
Tomorrows auction sale of lots in
North OeaIa, in the Seymour w Woodrow
Addition, by the Partridge Co,
is going 10 be big success and a
great many people viii take advantage
of the sale and buy lots there, either
as a speculation, though a solid and
secure investment at the same time,
or as a place on which to build a home.
! The company has really good prop
| erty there, surrounded by new homes
| homes that have been built within
the past two years. The property looks
good and is good. 1t is nicely located

sidewalks. White people only live
there and one will make no mistake in
investing there. You will get the
property at your own price, for every

sold TO the highest bidder.
There will be a big free barbecue
dinner. a splendid band of music, free
prizes to draw, a free lot given away
and free rides from the square to the
property.
The sale starts promptly tomorrow
Thursday morning, at 10 o'clock. There

CAN TAKE A SHORT CUT

Speaking in commentator of Ocala's
plan to extend to Silver Springs, the
Tampa Times says:
Preparations are being made to APP
ply to the legislature at its approach
ing session for such legislation as will
make the above purpose easy of at
tainment. But, really, we do not per-
ceive why the people of Oeala should
have waited after they formed the de-
sign of this territorial extension until
the legislature should meet and then
take up the time of that body, at a
considerable expense to the state, in
enacting enabling legislation, when
there is ample authority for such ex-
tension OF their corporate limits as
they contemplate under the provisions
OF section 1875 of the Revised Statutes
OF Florida. BY following the process
there laid down the purpose could
have been accomplished months ago
and with but nominal expense"

GOVERNOR TRAMsIELL
AFTER THE GAMBLERS

It has been an open secret for years
that gambling dens by the dozen exist
among the tourist resorts along the
east coast, and the evil has been wink
ed at, because the games were largely
patronized by tourists, who brought
much money into the state. OF course,
a Floridian occasionally drifted into
game and lost his money, but accord
ing TO the distorted conscience that so
largely rules the business world, that
was not considered worth while to
make a fuss about. There are quite a
number of people along the east coast.
however, with whom morals weigh
more than dollars, and they are not
content to see their relatives and
friends ruined to make a tourist holt
day. A bunch Of these meddlesome cit
liens, ycIept the law and order league
OF Palm Beach, complained TO the gov
ernor of the existence Of a certain
club, where play for high stakes was
the favorite pastime. The governor
promptly requested the sheriff of the
county to investigate, and the state
attorney of the circuit to back him up.
The sheriff reported that the club had
been in existence for years, and that no
grand jury had indicted any member
OF 1t--JusL the SOEI OA q ASpOIN ~ sui
a lazy or time-serving governor. Park
TrammeIl, however. Is not that sort.
few days later, the governor received
another complaint from the law and
order league about the club. He has
demanded in no uncertain terms that
the sheriff sift the matter to the very
bottom.
The Star hopes the governor will
press this matter home and either
break up all the gambling dens in the
state or compel them to lead existences
more precarious than profitable. Flor
'da does not want any of the sort OF
prosperity that radiates from Monte
Carlo. Our state can do without that
brand of fool tourists that comes to it
TO be robbed, and can't afford to harbor
the sharpers that prey upon them. Let
both be given the same sort of justice
that is dealt out to the poor darkey
who is caught in crap game.

CARNIVAL DESERVES A CROWD
ReIss shows are Big, Wen Conducted
and Up-to-Date

Notwithstanding the bad weather,
there was a good crowd on the car
nival grounds last night, and if the
conditions are favorable this evening,
it is likely that half the city will be
out to see the shows. A number of
our people who have seen this carnival
at Jacksonville, Tampa and st. Peters
burg, say it is one of the very best of
its class, and it is certainly the biggest
that has ever been in Ocala. The shows
are smart and interesting, the collec-
ton of animals is unusually large and
the machinery is new and strong. Pay
the carnival a visit, amuse yourself
and help out the local lodge of the
Loyal Order Of Moose.

ADJUSTMENTS


Coming to the Duyal theater with |
nouncement, this made but a few
days in advance, and with the names
of singers, numbers and general de-
tails absolutely to be guessed at, the
so-styled Royal Italian Opera Com
pany appeared before two small but
enthusiastic audiences yesterday.
Manager W. ". Delcher. who had
booked the organization on the rec
ommendation of the manager of the
Tampa theater, and with no details
TO work from, was as much surprised
as any of the patrons when the COM
pany proved TO be composed of splen-
did singers, thoroughly acquainted
with the roles undertaken and offer
ing a beautiful rendition of each of
the two operas announced. Not to
say that Mr. Delcher was expecting
mediocre presentation, for he had
been given every assurance that the
company was first class, but further
than this he knew nothing about it,
That the Florida engagements were
made preliminary to a short season in
south Florida was understood, and
possibly the performances here may
ries of dress rehearsals-at all events
the two operas sung yesterday were
magnifeently rendered, all concerned
apparently taking not the slightest
notice of the size of the audiences,
though evidently pleased when the
handful of people in the orchestra
seats insisted upon the repetition of
an aria or special number, as, for in
stance, during the afternoon, when
singing the famous quartet in Rigo-
letto. From the beginning it was ap-
parent that the principal characters
were in splendid hands. Certainly
Jacksonville has seldom heard a
more beautiful voice than that of sig
nor Antola, and his dramatic ability
was almost as pronounced as his sing
ing through every phase of the story.
The part Of Gilda, as sung by Miss
Barnato, was exquisitely handled. Pos
sessed of a strong, sweet and plant
soprano, her love songs with the duke
when meeting him disguised as a stu
dent, and later her confession of de-
spair and her pleadings for the life of
her lover when Rigoletto plans to kill
him were given with the abandon
that only singers experienced and
those singularly gifted can safely en-
ploy. The character of the duke, as
sumed by 6. Sinagra, was splendidly
sung, and particularly effective was
his pure, clear tenor in the quartet of
the last act. AS Monterene Miss
Francona was most pleasing, and the
minor roles were well sustained

8 The Italian Opera Company will
sing at the Temple tonight, and will:
no doubt be greeted with crowded
house, as this is 0caia's first real
grand opera.

of the season. Ever since the opening
night Of this clever musical produce

bookings have been made that will
take at least years time for the
