BUSINESS MEMS ORGANIZATION

In responee to call issued quite a
large number of Ocala's most promi-
nent business men met at the board
of trade rooms and perfected the or
ganization of the Business Mems Cred
it Association. Mr.. George MacKay
was elected the president of the asso-
citation, with Mr.. J. NJ. Thomas vice
president. Other officers and an ex-
ecutive board were also elected.
1t is thought that this organization
will prove of great benefit to the mer-
chants and professional men, as the
rating and credit of every citizen can
be obtained, and it will be safeguard
to all concerned
This organization was formed under
the auspices of the Merchants Mer-
camille Agency of Pittsburg, and these
credit associations are now bling or
ganiZed all over the country.

They are about to make another eff
fort over in Dade county to drive out
the saloons, and are circulating petit
tons to call an election for that pur-
pose. Miami's most distinguished cit
izen, William ]. Bryan, is an uncom-
promising enemy of the liquor traffic,
and if he could be induced to stump
the county in behalf of prohibition
the "drys" would be very likely to
win the election, for the eloquent com
moner has the most persuasive tongue
in the country. AS a large property
holder in Dade and owner of a beau
tiful home in Miami he could go into
the campaign with entire propriety.-

MORE CONTEMPT OF COURT

The judge of a local court in Mis-
souri, who attempted to put Col. Will
liam r. Nelson, editor of the Kansas
City Star, into Jail for criticising a
proceeding in a divorce court, could
have found no better way than that of
advertising the need of limiting con-
tempt of court proceedings to the pun
ishment Of disrespect, defiance or OBJ
structiOn of the actual proceedings of
the court, and in the courts presence
If the courts of Kansas City are
thus brought into collision with the
most public spirited citizen of whole
city-with the man who has done
more than any other man in it for
public righteousness and civic free
dOm-then it is certainly a case of
so much worse for the court"
If the public conscience, the peo-
pies sense of right and wrong, gets
into contempt of court" which is
likely to come out ahead in the long
run-the court or the public con-
science? New York Mail.

HOW TO BE HAPPY AND PROS.

Blitchton, Fla, Feb. 6, 1913.
To the Editor Ocala Banner:
Our county court has been in ses-
sion for about five or six weeks. What
has it cost the county and state?
1t costs most annually to try the
criminals in the United States than it
did to build the Panama canal.
No law can be effectively enforced
without the support of public senti-
ment. The people must stand for the
right, if they expect the right to pre-
vail.
Whiskey, pistols and gambling
cause So per cent. of the crime. Stop
the sale of whiskey, the carrying of
pistols and close the gambling houses
and crime will cease, and the people
will be happy and prosperous.

The Citizens Investment Company
has within the past few days bought
from Mr. Henry D. Stokes the two cot
tages known as the Edwards cottages
on North Daugherty street. They will
be improved at once and probably
put on the market at an early day.

then with the oiled floor mop.
