RUBY SHEROUSE.

This paper eongratulates Mr.. Sim
con NJ. Lummus on the good luck
that is pursuing him this week. On
Monday he received dividend of ten
dollars from the Citizens Investment
Company, and says that it was the
first ten dollars that he ever received
during his whole life without tOiling
for it in the old-fashioned, perspiring
way. Following his ten-dollar divi-
dend, on Wednesday his little boy,
Marion, who is a most popular and de-
serving little fellow, won the Shetland
pony in Franks voting contest The
Ocala Banner sincerely hopes that
the good luck" now that it is start
ed, will continue to follow in the foot
steps of the Lummus household. It is
a sturdy, pioneer family, and one that
gives stability, strength and character
and good report to a community.

in this election the result has already
been determined.
THE Republicans will win. AS Tam
many will be overwhelmed in the city so
it should be and will be in the state at
large The Republican candidates for
judges Of the Court of Appeals will carry
the state by 5000 plurality. The people
OF the entire state have become disguised
with the chaotic conditions which have
prevailed at albany within the last three
years.
The return to direct state tax. the
largely increased appropriations, the sal
airy grabbing which has prevailed, the
creation of new positions for a swarm OF
Democratic politicians the frauds in the
highway contracts and in the repairs to
the Capitol, the delay in the completion
of the barge canal. the quarrel over pat
ronage. the dckering of Sulzer with Muir
ply and the disclosures of the impeach-

the minds of the voters.

him TO make some false charges to affect
the final decision of the Court of I'M

This is not new. While the court was

statements to the effect that Stilwell was

FIRE THREATENS DISTRICT
Fighters Work in Peril to Check
Harlem Blaze.

Fire that destroyed the upper part Of
a four story manufactuI ing plant at
No. 490 to 43S East 102d street last
night threatened for time to wipe out
the old Harlem market district Men Of
Engine Company No. 81, under Captain
Armon, had a narrow escape soon after
arriving on The scene, when they were
about to enter the upper windows of the
building. a sudden backdraft sweeping
the fire in a great outburst through the
windows and roof.
The men got down to the street in
safety and Deputy Chief Hayes sent in
second and third alarms, bringing Chief
Kenlon and the fireboats Lawrence and
Mcclellan. There were stables on each
side Of the mandatory, from which
the horses were taken as quickly as pos,
sible. The repair shop of the CONSOLE
dated Gas Company, opposite the build
ing was also endangered. The fire, how
ever, was confined to the building in
which II started. and was put out in
about an hour
4 great crowd from the East Side
gathered ana the reserves from four
precincts were called out The damage
was estimated at $4,000. The two up

1.-THE issue is not at all in doubt, as
never were the ranks OF Tammany so
scattered and shot to pieces as in the
skirmishes which have preceded the real
battle OF ballots on Tuesday morning. We
hear upon all sides OF united opposition
to Murphy, Mccall and all they stand for
There are no longer any doubters. Men
do not doubt where Mr.. Mitchell stands
They do not doubt where Mr.. Mccall
stands, and for whom he stands.
Never before has SO little money been
expended for municipal campaign as
will have been expended by the Citizens
Municipal Committee. Usually mu-
nicipal campaign has cost the committee
running IT several hundreds OF thousands
OF Collars. Up to this time there have
been received In round figures about 49,
600. We applied business methods TO the
expenditure OF this money. with the re-
suit that every dollar expended has gone
as far as 81 or more In previous cam
paigns"

ers' bureau, said by far the greater por-

THE fight is over. The battle is won.
Mitchell will be elected on Tuesday next
by plurality OF not less than 5000, and
possibly by much greater plurality.
"'rhe retrospect Of the campaign is not
one that fills any citizen of the state or
city with pride, but. for that matter.
since Tammany Hall took control of the
state government, four years ago, there
is hardly a single accomplishment which
the citizens OF the Empire State can look
upon with satisfaction. and there are
scores which arouse no sentiment but that
Of shame and humiliation.
"The revelations have been unpleasant,
hut they were absolutely necessary. The
time had come when il was essential for
the people of this city to learn what cor
ruption existed in the body polite, and
now that the realization has come there
is no question but that the action Of the
electorate Will be swift, sure and decisive.
Next Tuesday. for the first time in the
history OF this city. one reform admins
tration will succeed another. This means
that by 1918 the various departments OF
the city government will be organized on
a business basis. In the second place, il
means that at the end OF the next four
years the principle of -partisanship in
municipal affairs will truly represent an
instrument Of service rather than the
source of supplies OF a political organiza-
ton. And last, if not least. II means,
coupled with the state election of 1914
for the result Of that election can already
be safely prophesied-the destruction of
Tammany Hall and all that it implies.
by samuel s. Koenig.
President OF the Republican County Com
mittee.
Figures of careful canvass by dis
trict leaders insure fusion sweep by at
least 100, 900 majority. 1t is safe to say
now that Tammany will not carry more
than ten OF the thirty-one Assembly dis
tricts in the county, and those by greatly
reduced majorlties as compared to other
years.
The usual Tammany majorities in East
Side and downtown districts will be tre-
mendonsly reduced. and the anti-Tam-
many vote in normally Republican dis
tricts will be greatly increased.
ut is well to warn voters, and par
ticularly Republican voters, against the
swirl OF last minute pamphlet attacks.
Among these attacks, and typical OF all
OF them. is a circular sent out to Repub-
lican voters, signed by an organization
calling itself Loyal Republican League
and signed by one Elmer i. Johnson.
Needless to say that this abortive at
tempt TO mislead real Republicans Is fos-
tered by Tammany agents and has no
more connection with the Republican Or
ganization in this fight than Charles +.
Murphy himself.

WOULD EXCLUDE
BIBLE FROM MAILS

The Postofficc Department has re-
ceivcd an unusual petition from a
bc,.y of citizens. This petition urges
that the Bible he excluded from the
mails, on the grounds that it contains
obscene and immoral matter.
The circulation Of information rel
alive to any efforts to cXcluCc al
legged Objectionable books, pictures or
publications from the mails usually
results in Il lot Of free advertising
and consequent increase in the sale
Of the article in questinon. 1t is not
known what effect this will have OIL
the increased sale of the Bible.
There is probably no library in the
world in which books cannot be
found far more Objectionable than
the Bible.
Don Quxotc, Asmodcus, Arabian
Knights Entertainmen5, Boccaciois;
Decameron, Smollctt's Works, Gil
Bias, and most of the productions OF
the Elzabcthan age, tend more to cor
rupt the minds of young and old than
anything in the Scriptures. There
arc illustrated books in the Congress
sional library which if found iii the
possession Of people in the State OF
Virginia would subject them to terms
on the State roads.
Yet the Anthony ComStocks Of this
day urge no objection to the circu-
lation of the volumes referred to
above.
While no ono will deny the fact
that some bold statements arc made
in portions of the Scriptures, the
fact that there is no commentator of
the acts described forms deep chasn
between inspired books AM thoFe
written to portray cscapades and the
doings of liccntious men and women
Many attempts have been made al
different times in the worlds history
to eliminate the Bible. and this lat
est movement will be as. the fly on the
oX's horn.
