ALL GAMES OF CHANCE
FOR GAIN ARE ILLEGAL

The committee handed in the or
dinance defining the blocks where
certain tent shows, games OF chance
etc, could not be operated in the
city, having signed and approved the
ordinance. The ordinance was then
read by sections, adopted by sec
tions. read by its title for the third
and last time and passed on unani-
nous yote.-Extract from the coun-
ell proceedings.
The blocks where games OF chance
may not be carried on are Nos Al,
AZ, AZ, A, As, 46, 81, 55, 90, ST,
81, Ga, IA, IS and 76.
By inference, and by the opinion
of a perfectly good lawyer whom the
Star has consulted on the subject,
games of chance may be carried on
in any block in town not designated
by the above numbers. Among the
blocks not designated are the Ocala
House block, the block south of it
on which stands the Munroe &
Chambliss Bank, almost the entire
west side of Magnolia street and
most other parts of town. 1t allows
some people to run games, and re-
fuses the privilege to others. 1t is
worse than class legislation-it is
personal.
According to the state law, all
games of change for gain are illegal
and the council has no right to pass
an ordinance allowing them to be
carried on anywhere in town.
In the past, a great deal of harm
has been done by these games of
chance. Mere kids have been
gambling to the full extent of their
nickels and pennies, and some of the
older boys have lost heavily, beside
acquiring a pernicious habit.
Marshal Brigance sternly sup
pressed a number of these games,
and public sentiment approved his
act Public sentiment will condemn
the council if it allows the evil to
be resumed.
Moreover, if the council winks at
the evil, the county will not. The
sheriff and his deputies will be on
the lookout for attractions of the
law, and County Judge Smith says
that offenders who come up in his
court may look for the law to be en-
forced.

FAIR WARNING TO
CARELESS WRITER'S

For many years the editor of the
Star has carefully and laboriousIy
waded thru thousands of communi-
cations carelessly and almost iIlegi-
bly, written, trying to put them in
shape and doing an immense amount
of work in order to extract what
news and bring out what good sense
might be in the tangled mass Of
writing. He will have to serve no.
tice on the contributors to the Star
that in future they will have to
write or type their communications
legibly and clearly If they expect
them TO receive much attention The
Star has become too big a paper and
there is too much to do to waste
time in pulling out illegible copy.
and a communication that cant be
rapidly and easily read is more like
ly to go into the waste basket than
anywhere else.
Twenty years ago, skilled COM
positor rather enjoyed laying a piece
of difficult copy on his small-cap
case and making good sense out of
1t. But the linotype operator of to-
day with six times as much copy to
handle as his predecessor, has no
time to puzzle out words or make
sense out of doubtful sentences So
no matter how good an idea a man
may have, he stands little opportun-
ity of seeing it in print if he can't
put it on paper in such shape that
editors and printers can read it with
out puzzling.

HERE is ONE THAT
ISN'T NUZZLED

Under the Trammell corrupt prac-
1ices act newspapers are muzzled
during the eighteen days preceding
a primary election. Any newspaper
which publishes during this period
any charge or attack upon candi-
date unless the said charge or at
tack has been served upon the can
didate previous to the last eighteen
days of the campaign may be fined
mot exceeding one thousand dol
lars or be imprisoned not ex-
ceeding one year, or be pun
ished by both such fine and impris-
onment. That means that no fact
discovered about candidate during
the last eighteen days of campaign
can be published if such fact may be
construed as a charge. Seventeen
days before a primary it may be dis
covered that a candidate is a thief,
rDigamist, murderer or an escaped
convict, but no newspaper in the
state could print the facts either as
news or paid advertisement. Al
though the voters would be entitled
to such information this law makes
1t impossible to place the facts be-
fore the people. This section of the
Trammell act not only is blow at
the freedom of the press, but offers
opportunity for men with dark pasts
TO ride into office.-Pensacola News.
The Star doesn't think the law
should be SO interpreted, is quite
sure Governor Trammell is too good
a lawyer and broadminded a man to
try and muzzle the press, and is GER
tain that such law wouldn't stand
in the courts. If the Star has any
good reason to denounce any candi-
date or his policies between now and
the primary, it will do so without
the least reference to any law except
the same old law of obtaining the
proof that it has always gone by.

holding up the advantages of cleo
tricity for cooking purposes, brags
on the low rate for current charged
by his city, and speaks of Kansas
City as its nearest rival. The Times
Union says:
Word was received yesterday
that arrangements We're now under
way for a national contest for the
cost of cooking by electricity to the
consumer, this contest to be open to
both municipally-owned plants and
those operated by private interests
or corporations. This information
created great interest and genuine
enthusiasm among city officials as
those who have made a careful study
OF the subject have found that the
2-cent rate per k. W. hour for Jack
sonville is not only far below all
other city plants, even the hydro
electric propositions, but also that
her nearest rival is Kansas City,
Kan, with 3-cent rate.
Overlooked Ocala
Strange that the Times-Union,
which claims to be 1.-The great state
newspaper" overlooks Ocala in a
hundred miles and skips a thousand
to Kansas City.
Ocala's rate for current, supplied
by its municipal plant, is 3 cents per
k. W. hour for cooking, same as the
Kansas City rate. There is but lit
tie cooking done by electricity in
Ocala, but the practice is increasing,
and the officials believe that when
the practice becomes more general
and the plant is enlarged. current
can be supplied at 2 cents-same as
that in jacksonville
Moreover, if the Times-Union had
looked closely at this little city in it's
own bailiwick, it would have discov-
cred that Ocala's municipal plant
furnishes current for lighting at
cents per k. W. hour, which is 1 cent
less than the Jacksonville rate.

ENGLISH POLO|STS
HAVE STRONG four
Addition of Captain Lockett Will
Be to Advantage of the
Team.

LONDON, May 19.-That Lord
Wimborne's team of poloists will Of
fer the American champions the stiff
est kind of opposition in the interna-
tional matches at Meadow Brook,
Long Island, next month, is becoming
more apparent every day. Although
it was first thought that the English
team this year would not be a strong
one this thought has been displaced,
for, with the addition of Captain
Leslie ST. George Cheape and Captain
Vivian n. Lockett, to the lineup, the
team has become very formidable.
At least, that is the way the poloists
in this country view the situation
just now.
The fact that Captain Lockett will
play with the challenging team will
enable Captain Cheape to move up TO
his old position as No. l. Cheape is
one of the greatest men in the game
as an advancer of the ball and the
fact that Captain Lockett will be
able to play the important back posi-
ton, Will give the English team a
chance to make the best use possible
of Captain Cheape.
The general idea gained from Cap
tain Loekett's admission to the. ranks
of players is that the English team
will be made up as follows: No. l,
Captain Cheape; No. 2, Captain Bing-
ham; No. 3, Major Barrett, and back,
Captain Lockett.
The players will sail for the United
States next Saturday.
