CENSORSHIP

We agree with the New York Mail
that the word, Censorship" is about
as hard for Americans to swallow as
any in our vocabulary. 1t stands out
in fiat contradiction to all our theories
and traditions of government.
The Mail says that it smacks too
much of methods of despotism. 1t
says that it suggests Russia. If you
happen to be there you receive your
New York or home newspaper with
any and all critical reference to the
car and his government BACKED out
with official ink.
1t says that it suggests Germany,
where the police censorize your con
duct and opinions, and France, where
the "ageant des moeurs" kindly inter
fercs if you spend money beyond your
meanc.
Where the censorship of the stage
has been introduced it has always
made a wretched mess Of its work.
The British censorship leaves music
hall indecencies unchecked, but it
suppressed Charles Ram Kennedy's
noble and eleyating play, "The Terri
bic Meek" Our New York police cen
sorship at one moment suppressed
Shaw's Mrs. Warrens Profession, -
and soon afterward gave it free rein,
having advertised it we'll Whatever
success the play ever had it derived
from the fuss made over its suppress
sion by the board Of censOrs.
This paper agrees with the Mail in
saying that a censorship of taste is
impossible and undesired in this
country.
For the general improvement of the
popular taste we are dependent on our
education and training as a people,
and not on the service of official cen
sorc
There should be no entering wedge,
for once begun it has no stopping
place. From a censorship over the
stage it will be easily extended to the
press, and from the press to the pull
nit, from the pulpit to the mails, and
from the mails to the forum.
CensOrshin has no Dlaca in a rpnub-
lie.
Censorship and liberty are as far
apart as freedom and tyranny.
We must be alert and root out the
very appearance of this monster in
whatever guise h comes, for his COM
ing means tyranny and oppression.

"WHY SIT WE HERE ALL THE DAY
IDLE?s

1t is said that a generous soil ad-
jacent to a city adds to its prosper
ity. Ocalas contiguous territory is
acknowledged to be not only the
most productive but the most pictur-
esaue in the whole state of Florida.
These are the bouquets generously
accorded us by others. 1t cannot be
denied that beauty and utility make
a pleasant land. In addition to beau
ty and utility we have a salubrious
cline. Of the combination: Pictur-
esque landscape; rich, luxurious, riot
Gus soil; mild, salubrious atmosphere,
resident and stranger can render but
one verdict We can proudly pro-
claim that we have an imperial en-
pire. We have good roads, and will
continue to have better roads. We
have a thrifty, industrious, enterpris-
ing population. But with all our nat
ural and artificial advantages we are
confronted with a hard proposition.
We have to fight unequal freight dis
ordinations Although the people
are the sovereigns the railroads are
invested with the power to make and
unmake cities. The very weapon the
railroads should use in our favor they
use against US. 1t is within their
power and would be UNNECESSARILY to
their advantage to build up a great
city in this imperial inland empire.
They would hold the key to the situa-
ton. All the freight coming in and
going out would be as so much grist
running through their hopper. 1t
would be within their power to exact
toll on every pound of incoming and
outgoing freight. But they are blind
ed by the growth of our seaboard cit
les. But if the railroads obstinately
refuse to help themselves by helping
us, then we should help ourselves.
Our help lies in the direction of Sill
yer Springs and the utilization of its
waters. We must invent way to
make it a part of Ocala and put our
selves in possession of the advantages
its water rates will afford us. 1t is
but a fiction, but fiction is recognized
in law. Let us possess ourselves of
our opportunities. why sit we here
all the day idle?"

Does one live after death? Jeffer-
son died, but every principle enunci-
ated in his declaration of independ-
enco. still lives. Washington died,
but patriotism, the love of country,
still survives. Newton died, yet the
courses of the spheres are still
known, and move on by the laws
which he discovered, and in the or
bits which he saw. and described for
them, in the infinity of space. Let us
so live that the footprints we make on
the sands of time will blossom into
flowers and ripen into fruit that will
make the world better for our having
