THE ELECTION TOMORROW

The people of Ocala must decide
tomorrow whether they will have
cOmmodious and up-to-date school
houses or continue to worry along
with the inadequate structures they
have now.
Our city has in the last few years
largely developed a most praise
worthy public spirit and civic pride.
We have improved greatly in some
things; we have made a good start
in others. In schoolhouses alone, we
have stood still. There was COM
plant of crowding and fear for
safety in regard to the present high
school building a dozen years ago.
The primary school, when built, was
not much more than equal to the de-
mand. Since that time, the build
ings of course have stood still while
the school population has marched
on. In not any of the departments
of the high school is there room to
spare. In some, the scholars are
crowded like sardines in a box. In
case of fire, there would certainly
be danger; there might be a mas
sacre.
The need for primary school in
the north of town has been obvious
for the last two or three years.
Coupled with the need is now the
opportunity of acquiring through
Mr.. Seymour's offer, a valuable lot
The people would show lack of bus
mess acumen to turn down such an
opportunity.
The colored people are concerned
as well as the whites Their school
house is a more modern building
and comes nearer filling it's require
ments than the high school building.
All the same, it needs considerable
Improvement. In few years; they
viii need another school building in
another part of town Let them
come along and help the white peo-
pie in what is the greatest concern
Of both races, the education of their
children.

ALLEN IN TROUBLE

Plant City Courier: w. D. E. AL
len, of Jacksonville, who spent sew
eral days of last week here repre-
senting Dixie, was arrested by Mar
shall Vestel Friday evening on a
charge of embezzlement following
instructions received by telegram
from Sheriff Bowling.
1t is stated that Dixie caused the
arrest of Allen probably for some
shortage in the accounting of the
subscription money received by him.
Allen was committed to Jail.

The Star is not stuck on the fad
of printing the pictures of children
In the society columns of the news
papers. The pictures are not print

looks or good manners, but because
their parents have money or pull. -
Any ugly little cuss whose daddy

DON'T BURN THE LEAVES.

Why people persist in burning
leaves late in the evening this time
of year when they are being warned
almost daily by health authorities
chat nothing SO tends to spread diph-
liberia and other throat diseases than
this pernicious practice is hard to I'M
derstand. We feel that it is sheer
thoughtlessness. If one while burn
ing trash in this way will ponder over
how many young children will be in
fected with diphtheria and may die
as the result of his act he might come
to himself and postpone the burning
until morning and not do even re-
motely allow yourself to lay under the
charge of helping to spread disease
and death among your neighbor s
children. That is the humane policy.

A STATE PARK.

Once more an effort is being made
to start a sentiment in favor of a
state park to be located in the North
ern Indiana sand dunes, along Lake
Michigan. This time the project has
the enthusiastic endorsement of the
Rev. Eric H. Lindh, new arrival at
Gary. Rev. Lindh who has quite a
reputation as mountain climber and
lover of all out door life, states that
in all of his travel he has not come
across region of such wild, appeal
ing beauty as the dune country. In
pursuance of his plans the minister
is writing to the various states in the
union for information regarding state
parks.
THE TIMES was the first news
paper in Indiana to point out the
glorious opportunity for state park
along the southern tip of Lake Michi-
gan. II but a few square miles OF
the virgin dunes were acquired oy
the state and nothing more than pro-
lection affored to them the cost would
be very little. But will it be done
before it is too late?

LITERATURE FOR THE MAGGOT,
MINDED.

II might have been supposed that
the Cosmopolitan Magazine in it's
offerings for the last two or three
years had run the gamuet of sugges-
|tiveness, salaciousness and smut, but
its enterprising publishers prove con
Iclusively in the current number that
there are new fields to be opened for
the delight of prurient minds The
particular yarn indicating this fact
is one in which the hero is a young
male creature whose genesis was at
tributable to a Irritation which his
mother, rather informal lady, en-
joyed one day while strolling in a
bosky dell, the individual upon whom
or which she pinned the rose of her
affection being a hairy old gorilla
The fact that she had come croppey
of this sort was sedulously concealed

veneer of civilization as a duck takes
to water, grew up to be a social ia

where mother kept her money, but
lor her part she didn't think it was
safe to keep SO much money in the
house. Uncle John said you could
never tell much about folk till you
saw how they would act when they
had money. Father wanted her to
put it in the bank. And all the while
mother maintained dignified silence
as became a person of opulence, kept
her own counsel and began to demon
strate traits of character no one had
suspected her of. The neighbors
said she was getting stuck up, the
county paper published news of the

gun so as to be ready for looters.
Now for the psychological value of
becoming an heiress. Mother was
invited to join the Womans Improve
ment Society and to serve on the
board of managers of the new or
Iphanage. Her name was solicited as
a patroness of art and printed on the
program. She let off wearing an
apron afternoons, began to dress her
hair like the women managers, wore
her shoes with the medium high
heels every day and manifested some
thing like dominion of spirit that
walled her all the way round. Prob

WOMEN GET BUSY.

The women have entered the
mayoralty campaign in New York
and from now until the first Tuesday
in November things are going to
hum. In fact women are much in
the news this week. Mrs. Pankhurst
arrives from Europe today to begin
her lecture in America and the
pros and "antis" are in a merry
war as to the treatment the British
Militant leader shall receive during
her stay on this side of the Atlantic.
Mrs. Pankhurst declares that she
does not intend to preach militancy,
but there are those who say that her
very presence is detrimental to the
|cause of women's votes; so the dis
cussion was warm. The question is
what will they do with Mrs. Pank-
hurst?

WE WERE QUITE RIGHT.

When the dethroned Sulzer was a
candidate for the democratic nomina-
ton for the presidency last year, this
paper called him a poseur and q
mountebank and ridiculed his candi-
dacy.
A certain democratic paper not a
thousand miles away from this Sec
ton, we recall, answered the edi-
torial and bitterly attacked THE
TIMES for its opinion on Sulzer.
We do not observe the C. d. p hur-
rying to the defense of Sulzer.

never had any money before in her
life, all at once became the amazed
possessor of 500, paid to her in the

whole family took the matter up col

in this city, and this has given the
Democratic city campaign managers a
scare. TIE Republicans got their voters
out and registere most of them in Sep-a
TENDER, and so did the Progressives,
so that both of these parties are well
satisfied with the situation. But the
Democrats failed seriously to get their
vote registered. This has put fresh
life into the Republican campaign for
mayor, because the Republicans figure
that with the shortage in the Demo-
cratic registration the Democrats
stand a good chance to lose what has
appeared up to this time to be einch
at the city election. 1t is estimated
that the total registration will be from
10 900 to $4,000 short of the total vote
of the ely as shown by the poll books.
and 1t is estimated that fully 75 per
cent OF the shortage is Democratic
Poll takers for both the Progressive
and Republican organizations also say
that fully IS per cent of the large
number of voters who declare them
selves as doubtfuls have been traced
down and found to be former Demo-
Gratis. This makes 1t look bad, they
say, for the Democrats, and the Repub-
lieans and Progressives alike are work.

Democratic candidate for mayor, JOS.
e. Bell, is slipping backward, but
whether he will slip far enough to be
defeated is still a question. He still
has the advantage of a divided oppo-
sition. If the Republican and Progress
sive strength were consolidated there
seems to be little doubt that Bell
would be defeated.

spending that much money for the

Gratis here are saying that this does
not look we'll. They say 1t gives the
opposition fine chance to make
trouble. The Republicans are saying
that 1t would be straying long ways
from his old form of JeffeFsonian sim
plicity for the vice president to accept
$1,000 automobile for his private
use, and they do not believe that Mar
shall was behind the proposition of

TIMES BUREAU
AT STATE CAPITAL,

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 15.-It is now
two weeks since Senator Kern came to
indianapolis and gave out the word
that within the next couple of weeks
the Indiana plum tree would be
shook and that some of the impor-
tant appointments for this state would
be announced. Even since his visit the
patriots have been standing with
their PAGES toward the east and their
ears glued to the telegraph. waiting
for the happy tidings that something
has been did" But there has been no
such word. and grave doubt has again
taken the place of the JOY than pre-
vailed then.
