sition disaptch, which appears else
where and tells of the plan of the
commission to make a show for our
state. 1t seems TO the Star that in
deciding to put up good building
and make a show with moving pic
ture films, the commission has acted
much more sensibly than in trying to
ship our products across the contin-
ent and show them in competition
with almost similar products on their
own ground. A good building and a
good picture show will do the state
some good. The Star, however, adj
vises the commission to dump those
FLORIDA dollars" in the river, or
give them to the darkeys for sinkers
on their fish lines. They are a dis
grace.

Major Ladue does not consider the
traffic on the river warrants improy-
ing the river Still the Florida
Power Company is obliged to spend
thousands of dollars for lock to
take care of traffic which will never
come, if his opinion is sustained, as
the bar at the mouth prevents any
craft larger than a rowboat from en-
tering the river.-Dunnellon Advo-
cate.
The Star wants the Withlacoochee
improved about as much as the Ad-
yocate does, but thinks the Advocate
is mistaken about the bar. To the
best of the Stars knowledge, ocean
going tugs and big barges loaded
with phosphate have been cross ne
that bar daily for the last ten years.

POSTAL TELEGRAPH
MAKES A PROTEST

In view of the reported intention
of the United States government to
place censors in the offices of the
cable companies when the United
States is not at war, nor apprehend-
ing war, the Commercial Cable Com
pany filed a protest with the govern
ment at Washington.
For thirty years the Commercial
Caible-Postal Telegraph system has
preserved with the greatest fidelity
the inviolability of cablegrams; has
surrounded them with every safe
guard; resisted attempts at inspec-
ton, and taken every precaution to
prevent their contents being di-
vulged to any person whatsoever.
We do not believe our patrons
wish their cablegrams to be subject
ed to the espionage of government
officials; not even on rare occasion.
Postal Telegraph-Cable Co.
The protest is as follows:
A submarine cable differs in a
very important way from wireless
telegraphy. The wireless, communi-
eating with warship at sea, is the
same as a warship cutting a sub
marine cable and taking the end on
board and operating it.
The sending of cablegrams may be
considered in the same light as traf-
fic in supplies or munitions of war.
Our citizens are not prohibited
from furnishing belligerents with
supplies.
The citizens of neutrals may even
supply belHgerents with arms and
ammunition without infringing the
neutral status of the state itself.
A cablegram is in many respects
similar to letter and it certainly is
not the duty of any neutral govern
ment to censor letters to a belliger-
ent country That would not be toll
Grated either by law or public opin-
ion.
The secrecy of kilograms is pre-
served in many states by statutes
which make it a criminal offense to
| divulge their contents.
Judge Cooley in his work on con-
stitutional limitations 9th edition
PIP. 1920 doubted even the power
of a court to compel a telegraph OPP
orator to disclose the contents of q
message.
During the Spanish-American war
while the United States exercised
rigid censorship, the nations, which
are now belligerents, did not impose
any restrictions on messages to OF
from the United States or to or from
Spain.
The Commercial Cable Compan!
would feel obliged to contest, as &
form of unreasonable search, the
placing of censors in its offices.

PICNIC AT PINE

The "get together" spirit is
spreading to all sections of Marion
county. On Wednesday one of the
best attended picnics of the summer
was held at Pine, in the northern
part Of the county, under the auspi-
ces of the Farmers Association.
The principal object OF this gather
ing was TO get together the farmers of
the community to talk over ways and
means for the best distribution Of
our products.
During the forenoon Secretary
Rooney, of Marion County Board of
Trade, made a speech in which he
put before the meeting the PROPOSE
ton, which is now engaging the at
tention of the board, for getting con-
certed action among the farmers and
truckers in the marketing of their
products. Mr.. Rooney's talk was en-
Enthusiastically received, as were also
those of DIR. r. T. Weaver, of Oak,
and others which followed.
The ladies of the community served
picnic dinner, and one who was
present informs the Star that it was
perfection itself in quality and guam
| THY.
After dinner hour addresses were
made by Mr.. NJ. Folsom, secretary of
the Palatka Board of Trade, and Edi-
tor T. r. Virgins of the Palatka New
/ Florida.
There were among the participants
in the affair people from Palatka to
! Ocala and from the Oklawaha river
/ to the western part of the county,
and it was truly a gathering that re-
/ moved the blues from the system of
all who were so unfortunate as to
< possess such feelings before they at
/ tended the meeting.

COUNCIL IN ROW
AS LEE FIGHTS
WOODWARD
Veto Of Proposal to Give Park
Department School Lot Is
Sustained by 1877 Vote.

Members of the General Council
Tuesday were giving considerable at
tention to the hostility between May
or Woodward and Councilman Jesse
B. Lee, which was evidenced at the
regular meeting of Council Monday.
The enmity was brought to light
when Councilman Lee waged a hope
less fight to override the Mayors veto
of the proposal to transfer the old
Marietta School property to the park
department
When the question was put to a
vote, it was found that several Of
those members who had consistently
opposed the Mayor on previous occa-
sions rallied to his support. The veto
was sustained by vote of is to Z.
Nutiing Supports Mayor.
Alderman James r. Nutting, here
tofore regarded as one of Mayor
Woodwaris bitterest enemies, af-
forded Council a surprise when ne
took the floor during the debate and
argued strongly in defense of the eX-
ecutiye's action.
In this instance believe the May
I've consistently voted against him.
but whenever l believe he is right l
am going to support him. | think
this is the first time I've not voted
to override the Mayor"
Mayor Woodward based his veto
on his contention that the resolution
was irregular. He urged Council TO
allow the property. worth at least
$4,000 to remain within its control
He claimed that the city, at some ~
ture date, might wish to use IT Tor
some other purpose. and il the lana
were in the hands of the park depart
ment considerable opposition would
be met
Maddox Switches Over
Mayor Woodward believed that the
CITY eventually would require ware
house in which it could store its ma
terial. He claimed that since the ere
alton of the office of purchasing agent
the City Council contemplated buying
material in large quantities when the
markets were low. and It would neeu
some place to store it. The school lot
faces railroad property. and he did
rot regard it as an ideal place for
Park
Alderman Maddox sided with
Councilman Lee. and argued that the
Fifth Ward dld not want Warehouse
Int desired a park on the school site.
However, when the vote was. taken
Alderman Maddox asked the privilege
Of changing his vote, and was re-
corded as sustaining the Mayors veto.
The following voted to sustain the
veto: Aldermen Seawright, Kelley,
Mcdonald. Maddox, Nutting and Ar

Mayor Woodward also vetoed a res
olution authorizing Chief of Con-
struction Clayton to advertise for
bids for material tor streets and sew
ers.
He took the stand that Councils
ordinance creating the Office of pur-
chasing agent took from the various
departments the power to make de-
detrimental purchases
After a lengthy discussion. Council
ordered the Mayors veto tabled, and
PASSED the bids up to the purchasing
