DILLENBAGK LEAVES TO
HEAD THEATRICAL CIRCUIT

The end of this week will bring the
retirement of MT. H. Irving Dil1enba ok
as manager of the Plaza theatre.
which position he has held for the
past three months. Mr.. Dillenback has
resigned to accept the position of gen
eral manager of the GoIdstein Bros.
amusement enterprises, with head
quarters at Springfield Mass, when he
came to this city. He will be the di-
>recting head of a circuit of eleven
theatres in New England, with sew
eral others to be erected within the
year in larger cities outside, and his
selection is naturally considered by his
friends a tribute to his ability and
qualities as a man.
Mr.. Matt Saunders, who will Sue
coed Mr.. Dillenback as manager Of the
Plaza, is regarded as one of the
brightest and most capable of the Poll
staff, having made an enviable repu-
tation as manager of Polls theatre in
Wilkesbarre and coming here from
New Haven. He has had varied ex-
perience in all branches of the the
atrical business, and possesses per-
sonal qualities which cannot fail to
count in the success of the Plaza and
in winning for him a large circle of
friends in this city.

With undated zest, the Mardi Gras
festivities at the Poll theatre de luxe
continue with capacity audiences en-
joying the fun at every performance.
The antics of the haB1equins that es-
cort patrons to their seats; the con-
fetti storm; the distribution of Mardi
Gras favors; and, best of all, the great
big show that Manager Poll has pro-
vided have made it a. memorable one
AS a special feature tomorrow af-
ternoon, every child at the matinee
will receive a Mardf Gras RATHER, the
latest noise-naking device and some
thing that will be a riot of good fun
for the ''kid1ets."
The big bill of headline features ar
ranged by Manager Poll is rightly
gram ever featured in this city. There
are extra acts of extraordinary ma
ture, all combining to make the show
the best ever seen here. Here is the
way the show runs:

FLORIDA NEEDS THE MAJOR

Major J. R. Slattery's probable re-
moval from this post to Vicksburg
has aroused the members of the
Board Of Trade and every effort is
being made to induce the department
to keep him here. F. P. Conroy,
vice chairman Of the Board of Trade,
has called a meeting of his commit
tee for next Tuesday at which time
the proposed change in the engineer
department will be considerable
trOpolis.
The board of governors of the Ma
rion County Board of Trade will
doubtless adopt resolutions calling
for Major Slattery's retention next
Monday night.

Cotton is looking we'll but is consid-
cred late. We stopped for dinner at
Andersonyille, making a visit dur
ing our rest time TO the federal GEM

teously received by Maj Bryant, the
warden, who showed US the various
points of interest. We found that
the major was also an enthusiastic

considerable information about the
roads. At Andersonville, We were
not far from the birthplace of my
side partner, Captain Tom. In fact,
he found that the landlord Of the ho-
tel was an old schoolmate, and in
passing through Oglethorpe, he re-
newed many old acquaintance.
Near MOntezuma we found it nee
essary to put on our tire chains, on
account Of the slippery condition of
the roads. In making the last hill,
before putting on the chains, we mar
rowly escaped going into the ditch.
During thunderstOrms we always OBJ

farm house, starting up again after

On the next day, Tuesday, we
travelled via Macon to Forsyth, "a

received by Mr.. and Mrs. c. J. Eel

MIR. BRYAN'S CRITICS

The Ocala Star says Mr.. Bryan's
newspaper critics with a few nota-
BILE exceptions, like the New York
World and the Tampa Tribune" are
of the corporation controlled press.
We think the Stars expression is
hasty and ill-considered. While We
thank the Star for excepting the
Tribune from it's general accusation,
we think it is unjust to many good
and fearless newspapers in its state
ment. The voice of the press, the
country over, has been raised in criti-
cism of Mr.. Bryan's attitude and of
the specious plea he makes in de-
Tense.
A few quotations will show that
criticism of Mr.. Bryan is not limited
to the republican or to corporation
papers.
The Washington Star says, the
possession Of a soft-drink appetite
does not necessarily prevent a man
from admiring a champaign income -
The Cocoa-RockIedg News does
not believe that Mr.. Bryan will have
the sympathy of the people that his
salary as cabinet officer does not
meet his expenses"
The Sanford Herald says it has
admired him, worked for him and
spent money to try to elect him to
the presidency. Today we are dis
gusted with him and do not consider
him fit to stay in the high office he is
holding"
The Key West Journal thinks
Bryan is setting a dangerous pre-
cedent for government officials by
augmenting his salary on the side y
The Lakeland Telegram says his
present example narrowly misses
putting him in a cheap, mercenary
light before the people" and that ii
is distinctly repugnant to the pop
ular ideal OF the great cabinet minis
ter"
The Macon Telegraph thinks if Mr.
Bryan would adopt the dollar din
ner, in his home perhaps he could
live on SIP, 600 a year and not in.

upon the interest of the same

cuse that he needs the money" Civ
en- by Mr.. Bryan "opens the way t.
a question Of his fitness for a posi-
ton requiring tact and foresight"
These quotations are taken at ran
dom from those which come to GU
desk. The Ocala Star will not ass
sert that these papers are owned AM
dictated to by corporate influences

At the time the criticism was writ

of reading the opinions the Tribun
refers to. We do not exchange wit,

egraph or the Rockledge News, an
the remarks on Bryan in the othe
papers the Tribune refers to had es
capped our notice. If the Tribun
says they should be apologized tt
they should be, and they will hereb
consider the apology made.
All the same, we think a demo
cratic paper is in small business t
criticize Mr.. Bryan for such a rea
son. Mr.. Bryan is the first secre

SOME MORE ABOUT
FRANK CLARK'S SPEECH

So far as we have seen, Frank
Clark's patriotic Fourth of July ora
ton in Ocala has not yet been print
ed in the Congressional Record, so
the nation is not in any immediate
danger of bankruptcy.-Ba
We supposed from the calmly
superior way in which the Banner re-
ferred to its contemporaries who do
not read the Record, that Uncle
Frank perused that journal almost
as closely as we hope he does the
Star. If he will hunt up his copy Of
the Record of July 9, he will find
Mr.. Clark's fourth of July grafton,
the only real contribution to Amer
lean literature in that issue.
Nobody has praised the said
speech any more highly than the
Star, but the speech didn't pertain to
public business and had no place in
the Congressional Record.
Congressman L'Engle sizes such
incidents up correctly when he says:
Another choice piece OF bunk
about Frank Clark, started by the
Times-Union correspondent, is going
the rounds Of the cOokoo and the
good-natured press Of Florida. This
time it is pronounced a great honor
for the eloquent Florida congress
man to have his Fourth of July
speech printed in the Congressional
Record at the request Of a republican
member.
In the first place this republican
member was Mr.. Austin, of Tennes-
see, the rankest stand-patter for all
! the high crimes of tariff and special
privilege perpetrated by the republi-
cans on the patient, oVerburdened
people. now in Congress, not except
| ing old Serene Payne himself, and nc
honor can come to a democrat from
| such hands. This same Mr.. Austin, a
! few weeks ago, asked and received
leave to print in the Record an edi-
! tOrial from a paper owned by Wal
street. calling on Congress not tc
enact the very legislation for which
the special session was called and
and for which the people had put &
democratic majority in Congress.
In the second place, this leave t
print in the Record is the most pre-
functOry thing done in Congress. Any
member can get any old thing print
led in the Record just for the asking.

MAN PREFERRED TO BE SHOT


A rather turgid orator. noted for
his verbosity and heaviness, was once
assigned to some campaigning in
mining camp In the mountains There
were about fifty miners present when
he began, but when. at the end OF Q
couple OF hours, he gave no sign OF
finishing, his listeners dropped away.
Some went back to work, but the
majority sought places to Quench
their thirst, which had been agra
waited by the discourse.
Finally there was only one auditor
left--a dilapidated. eary-looking old
fellow. Fixing his gaze .on him. the
orator pulled out q large six-shooter
and laid 1t ON the table. The old fell
low rose slowly and drawled out:
BE you going to shoot II / go?'
.You bet ami" replied the speak
er. "E'm bound to finish my speech,
even il have to shoot to keep an
audience"
The old fellow sighed In . tired
manner and edged slowly away. say
ing as he did so:
Well. shoot il you want to. may
just as well be shot as talked to
death. Tit Bits.
