TO THE PEOPLE
OF MARION COUNTY
Oeala, Fla, May %. 1914.

Ocala, Fla, May %. 1914
I ask for a few words to the voters
OF Marion county in advocacy of my
claims for reelection to the Office of
county commissioner from the first
commissioners district.
As our county is heavily In debt,
pays high rate of interest and car
ries great deal OF money on lin
terest account" have for a long
time been convinced that We can
save great deal of money by issuing
longtime bonds, and 1 have several
times suggested such an issue as it is
an undisputed fact that much of this
|, interest money" could be saved in
that way, which, Of course, would re-
suit in the lessening of taxes.
But while a member of the board
can suggest a bond issue the bona
fide issue rests entirely in the hands
of the people.
An impression has gone out that
bonds would be saddled upon the
people even against their protest il
| We're reelected, but I have been a
member of the board for three and
a half years and no bonds have been
issued and none will be If / am re-
elected unless their issuance meets
the approval Of the people. In all
things l expect to be governed by
the wishes of the whole body of the
people. feel that while in Office 1
am their servant and will at all times
be liberal in my ideas and be subser-
Went to the peoples wishes.
No bond issue will be pressed un-
less the people demand it.
Next to bonds, / am in favor of
validating all outstanding warrants,
which will reduce the interest per
cent.
l approve of building and main
tanning good roads in every section
Of the county and have always shar-
ed this feeling.
l am opposed to any law which
forces country people to pay a So
road tax, or any other tax, which is
not borne by the fellow living in
incorporated towns.
/ have spent my life in this coun-
ty, was married here, every dollar
have made is invested here, all my
interests are here-and will continue
here.
/ have paid more taxes than the
average citizen and 1 have always
paid these taxes cheerfully and have
never been a "knocker" or a ''squeal-
err" The people of this county know
me we'll and l shall leave it to them
TO decide whether or not I am COM
petent to handle the finances of the
county and whether or not I have
treated every citizen fairly and
squarely on all subjects coming be-
fore the commissioners for consid-
Grafton.
/ have been fairly successful in
handling my own affairs and believe
that can be equally as successful In
serving the people. I shall at least
conscientiously strive to do so, and
whether elected or defeated, I shall
continue in my efforts to build up
every interest of the county.
If you see fit to again trust me
with your suffrage 1 assure you it

LET THE MOTHERS SPEAK.

Seventeen caskets were taken ashore
when the armored cruiser Montana
reached New York and each contained
the body of a marine or blue jacket
who lost his life in the occupation Of
Vera Cruz.
All the honors of war were paid TO
these young men who had died in the
service of their country and thous-
ands of people stood in mute sorrow
is saddened by the thought that death
is the toll or war and that circum-
stances should have brought our
peacefully inclined country TO this ex-
tremity.
But all this is impersonal. The
dead would have been the same had
others than those whose bodies occu-
pied the caskets made the sacrifice.
There was besides the personal loss.
Each of these young men had a
mother, and while the nation has the
these seventeen mothers are inconsol-
able. They have shared 70 a degree
which only mother can understand
ir the sacrifice.
Can the imagination picture these
mothers or mothers of other sons eX-
posed to a like fate clamoring for
war? Shall they not have an equal
voice. at least. with those misguided
patriots who. regardless of conse-
quences, are shouting. lon TO Next

and the responsibility limited TO where
il beIongs-to three houses out of a
dozen. The others may have contrib
Uted occasional mistakes, but mistakes
are frequent in other walks of life as
we'll as in the motion picture business.
Influence will no doubt be brought
TO bear to bring the three houses semi
condemned up TO the standard of the
others. There are now plenty OF good
pictures to be had without exhibiting
the low. the vicious and the vile. The
motion picture is a great educational
influence. and unabused is capable OF
great good. 1t isn't necessary TO ruin
the business, or limit the exhibitions
TO films set specially for prudes. in
order TO give the public, including
boys and girls. a good wholesome en-
tertainment, and il is gratifying to
have found the administration COM
mittee exercising some such degree Of
sense.
The meiodramatic and the clean
play of western life. even though a
trifle sensational. have a rightful
place on the picture canvas, as truly
as has the religious the historical, or
the travel play. and vice versa. The

THE PLEASANT SUNDAY.

If the popular will is to be consulted
every Sunday will be a pleasant day.
If the popular will is not to be con-
suited there will be much discomfort
and real unhappiness. OF course, the
popular will cannot always have its
way, and perhaps it is just as we'll,
but in this matter of pleasant Sun
days it seems as}if IT might be hu-
mored without seriously disarranging
the weather schedule.
A pleasant Sunday means so much
20 the workaday people of the world.
more than any other pleasant day be-
cause more people are affected
Through the week the damages and
benefits of barometrical fluctuations
are pretty evenly balanced. a part of
the population desiring rain and an
other hoping for fair weather. but on
Sunday everybody wants pleasant
day.
Sunday is the only day in the week
when the wheels OF industry cease
their revolutions. When people leave
their beds on week day mornings their
minds and muscles are tense. The
days work lies before them and they
have turned on the batteries to be
ready for the long pull that will bring
them TO the close of the day, but on
Sunday mornings their minds and
muscles are relaxed They are TO be

accustomed channels and give exercise
TO unused muscles.
At such times the great outdoors
makes its appeal unhampered by the
necessity for toll The opportunity and
the temptation is TO lay aside the oars
and float with the current through
splashes of sunshine and shade and to
draw long. deep lungfuls from the
sweet abundance that everywhere eX-
lists outside the walls of daily labor II
the day is Indictment these privileges
are denied. A day Of restless quiet, OF
enforced idleness follows and the
mind and body return TO their tasks
on Monday morning unrefreshed.
This is why il is so important that
every Sunday should be a pleasant
DAY. Fortunately most Sundays are
pleasant. just as most week days are.
and whether it is cold or warm or hot
or cold the people find happiness in
the sunshine and relaxation in the
privilege OF getting about Sundays

CARRANZA'S PAT HAND.

Carranza is perfectly right in his
position TO take no part in the media
ton business if the negotiations are 70
cover general pacification of Mexico
Carranza hasn't insulted Uncle Sam
He's probably perfectly willing to sa-
lutte Uncle Sam, as a mere matter OF
courtesy, although he needs the pow
der for more serious business.
He has but one controversy, and
that's with Huerta, and an armistice
with Huerta would be the worst policy
possible. since the holding OF Vera
Cruz by Uncle Sam makes Huerta
weaker day by day.
The prospects are that the A. B. C.
negotiators will go up to some pleasant
spot in Canada and spend many days
in discussion.
Meanwhile Uncle Sam will hold
Huerta's chief port of customs entry

leo, a great many persons have the
impression that Mayo must be a man
of impulsive, E-string temperament
AS a matter Of fact. If one were TO
line up all the naval officers we have,
look the over carefully, and then
guess which one would be most likely
to start anything. Henry Thomas
Mayo would doubtless be picked last
of all.
Mayo is the most patient officer in
the navy. He is as calm and un-

he probably stands less than FIVE feet
six, and there is theory that men of
modest stature are inclined to cock
mess. But Mayo's every day manner
is as unbelligerent as that of an easy
going old setter dog.
Why, then, is the question did he
start anything in Mexico. To which
the navy folk will answer: Simply
because he saw nothing to do but PLAY
