Tampa, June 25.-The leaders of

JACK JOHNSON RETAINS
WORLDS CHAMPIONSHIP
HOW OUGHT VlIL1FlERS TO BE
PUNlSHEDg

There we're no newspapers in an
cient times. SO we do not know what
those old stole philosophers would
have done if they had been editors
of newspapers and had been abomi-
nally villified without rhyme or rea-
son, but PlutarcA tells us that Peri
Giles, once, after being reviled and
ill-spoken OF al day long in his owm
hearing by some vile fellow in the
open market place, where he was en-
gagged in the dispatch of some urgent
affair, continued his business in per
feet silence, and in the evening re-
turned to his home with the utmost
compusure, the man still logging him
at his heels, and pelting him all the
way with abuse and foul and dirty
language. Pericles, stepping into his
house-it being by this time quite
dark, ordered one of his servants to
take Tight, and to go along with the
man and see him safely home. Some
times we think that men who are in
stinctiTHly ruffians and liars need a
more effective and categorical lesson.

THE PURPOSE OF WAR

War is not a game, neither is it the
rich mans doing. 1t is merely the
concrete expression of that instinct
i've ambition which drives the race
onward and upward despite itself,
sayes the Houston Chronicle, the le-
yer by which we pry loose from i'm
pending traditions and beliefs.
No matter what it's origin, humani-
ty, as far back as the eye can reach,
is compassionate for all we know al
ways was composed-of inferior and
superior races and portions of races,
The superior sections OF the aggre-
gate wanted to dominate the inferior
sections, and they have fought, bled
and died to accomplish this purpose.
The inferior sections wanted to OBJ
tain the benefits and advantages al
ready possessed by the superior sec
tons, and they likewise fought and
bled and died.-Key West Citizen.

oCALA, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, JULY 8, 1914
OcALA WILL NOT LOSE THE IRON
WORKS

The debris is being cleared away
preparatory to rebuilding the Ocala
Iron Works This to us is most cheer
ing news, for there was a strong pos.
sibility of the plant being moved to
another point, the moral effect of
which would have been bad. Lake
land, Dunnellon land other south
Florida towns offered the stockhold-
ers very fattering propositions if
they would locate the works in their
respective cities, and as the principal
stockholders were not residents of
Ocala, the fact that they have elected
to rebuild in 0cala makes us feel
much more hopeful of the city's fu-
Ture.
The new building will in every way
be far superior to the old one. The
foundations and superstructure vii
be of brick and stone and the light
and ventilation will be better. The
machinery Will DE more moderm, and
the company will be in a position to
do work unnue expeditiously and of
larger capacity. The plant Will be
run by electricity, and every machine
will be supplied with an Individual
motor.
When completed OcaIa VIII have
cause to be proud of her IRON Works.

THINGS AS THEY SEEMED TO BE
For to behold and for to see

"For to behold and for to see
The wonders of this world so wide"
November Sth-After breakfasting
ON rolls, coffee and honey, we went
out and took carriages for a first
sight of the Pyramids of GiZeh. 1t
was a truly imposing sight, as some
three hundred of us left Shepherds
mostly in carriages bnilt for two. We
drove out through the newer and bet
ter part of Cairo, across the Nile
bridge, which is fianked by two gran
tie lions Crossing the bridge we saw
many of the dahabiyeh, a sort of a
house-bnat, for travelling up the
Nile with their latten sails and their
sail-poles fifty or a hundred feet
long, and they looked very queer to
Our unaccustomed eyes. We drove
along a most excellent road, passing
on the way many interesting sights.
Water-wheels, turned by hand, or by
a wheel around which an OK or wa
ter buffalo walked. BY this primitive
method they irrigate their land. They
still pillow with wooden stick; the
two handles are fastened together,
and the point which stirs the earth
is steel shod. This out of date con-
trivance is also drawn by the OK or
water-buffa1o, and driven by a petit
coated gentleman. Caravans of load
ed camels and donkeys were being
taken to the city with loads of pro-
duce. At the entrance to the city
each caravan is stopped and toll is
taken from the owner, sort of pro-
duce tax levy. The sister of the Khe-
dive motors out from town each day
at nine to certain point, and then
leaving her car, and with a maid at
her side and a man behind, walks for
mile under the accacis. trees, which
line either side of the road the entire
way from the city to the pyramids.
She didn't seem to take as much in
terest in us as we did in her-it may
not be polite to rubber" in Egypt.
A steep and quick grade leads up to
the pyramids, and before starting ur
the drivers stopped little, to let
their horses feet rest, while they call
ed back and forth to one another,
laughing and gesticulating and prob
ably making sport of their fares.
Arrived at the pyramids, we were
surrounded by fakirs, beggars and
every sort of dirty creature. The
camel drivers almost walked their
ungainly beasts over us in their eff
forts to have us ride, but while many
rode, thoughts of the germ-laden sad
die blankets kept me on "shank's
mare" The pyramids are one of the
most imposing sights imaginable.
One tourist said: well, ! don't see
anything pretty about these" But
one does not look for beauty in pile
of masonry-the beauty lies in the
impressiveness which it conveys to-
the mind through the medium of the
eye. The great pyramid is four hun
dred feet above the ground and fully
as much lies below the ever-driftinig
sands. All these pyramids were built
during the fourth dynasty, and are
the tombs of the kings who ruled
during that dynasty. They are built
of stone from the McKatlen quarries,
and represent fearful outlay of time,
material and money, all to perpetuate
The Ocala banner. (Ocala, Marion County, Fla.) 1883-194?, 1914-07-03

the memory of dead king, who de-
manded from his slave subjects labor
that brought no return to the cUun-
try. Had these kings used as much
thought and effort in making a free
and centered kingdom, putting the
time and material of their pyramidial
tombs into irrigating bitches and put
ting the fertile Nile valley under cul-
tivation, Egypt might today be a
world power instead of the supersti-
tiOn-ridden country she is, without
much prospects of brighter future.
But why moralize? A dead king is
of less value than live donkey, as
the saying goes. Great Caesar, dead
and turned to clay, might stop a
crack to keep the wind away" The
mortuary chapels are long since COW
cred with the drifting sands and re-
luctantly give up their historical data,
only to the never-ceasing efforts of
the antiquarian. One finds at the
pyramids never-ceasing tribe of per-
sistent fakirs, selling anything and
everything, and offering you the priv
ilege of climbing the pyramids, of
which they almost convince you they
are owners, and offering you help
ing hand over the rough places-a
hand so dirty that only the most care
less would accept. Within few hun
dred yards of the pyramids is the
Sphinx. / had imagined that the
Sphinx was very large, but it isn't. 1t
is in gully, and after you arrive at
the pyramids on the bluff, you are
compelled to hunt for the little old
Sphinx in the gully. From the front,
it looks like its picture; the best fea-
ture is the mouth. The nose and
eyes were shot away by Napoleon's
soldiers. AS / write these lines news
comes of the finding of tomb with
in the Sphinx untouched by the spoil
er, and doubtless a mine of informa-
ton which will substitute facts for
surmise, and may overthrow the care
fully built theoretical story of a most
important period of Egyptian history.
We lunched at the Gezirah-Palace ho-
81 in Cairo. This is one of the no
tells that is too fine to be comfortable.
The dining room is of marble, so no
BILE and lofty that I felt as though l |
were dining in the senate chamber
in Washington, with United States
senators waiting on me. The atmos-
phere of the Gezireh- Palace hotel is
different from the atmosphere of 9TH
er hotels, but the meals are about the
same everywhere, except that the real
heavy swells among the hotels do not
serve butter at dinner. Managers
and walters at the hotel change, but
the cooks never.
After dinner, lured by the magic !
spell of full moon, we started to see
the pyramids by moonlight. Still
much more impressive did they ap-
pear with the moon and stars looking
down upon them, as they had in that |
long distant past looked down on the |
toiling thousands working at the be- |
hest of their ruler. We climbed a |
rise of ground to take picture of the |
pyramids by moonlight, and as |
climbed up some excavations to take
the picture, up from tomb arose a
black-gowned, white-turbaned figure
and started on his slow way towards |
us. He would disappear in the undu-
lations of the sand, only to reappear
