DRYS LAY SEIGE TO A
STRONGHOLD OF DRINK

The Tampa Tribune of the 11Ih
says:
The county commissioners have
called wet or dry election for Dec.
10. The campaign is already on and
will be waged unremittingly by both
sides Tampa probably Will have its
warmest fight in years.
Under the call for the election only
those who are now registered, their
names appearing on the list of quail
fed voters published in the Tribune
October "a, and who have paid their
poll taxes up to the present year,
will be allowed to vote. This re-
stricts the suffrage to those already
qualified and there will be no new
registration.
The last time that Hillsborough
county voted on the wet or dry issue
was in the general election of 1910,
statewide prohibition was submitted
to the voters of FLORIDA. In that
election, EIillsborough county vot-
ed for prohibition by seventy
seven majority. AT that time, what
is now Pine1las was a part of HfIls-
borough, and figured in the result.
That question was also one of state
wide prohibition, not local option.
The commissioners, in the call for
the elections. have kept close to the
statutory limit of thirty days for adj
vertising it. This will mean a
brief campaign, but there lis every
indication that it will not lbe lacking
in interest.

THE RIDDLE OF
THE DARDANELLEs

If a strong naval force attacks the
Dardanelles we may presently know
whether the defenses of that famous
strait are Turkish bluff or as strong
as they look. Admiral iDuckworth
forced the passage in 1907 against
the short-range smooth bores of that
day, but since more powerful ord
nance was introduced the question
has scarcely been raised In the
Crsmean war the naval powers were
with the Turk; in 1878 the Russian
advance was by land; in 1911 Italy,
at the suggestion of other powers.
resrained from serious attack on the
Turkish mainland; in the following
year the Greek navy was not strong
enough to try conclusions with the
forts
The Dardanelles are forty-seHen
miles long, and everywhere marrow
enough for accurate fire. AT the
nerrowest point, the elbow below
Abydos, where Byron swami Leland
er's route, the scene recalls the Hud-
son Highlands. though the waterway
is wider. South of the elbow the
Turks mined the waters in 1911 and
1912, and the forts are supposed to
have been modernized by German
brains and money. North of the ell
bow the defenses are slight.
The fate of Port Arthur, of AID
rianople and of many strong places
| in the present war gives no assur-
ance that forts can hold out against
land attack in sufficient force. Plev.
ma, whose endurance in the Russo
Turkish war was a heroic achieve
ment, was not a fortress but the
hastily intrenched camp of a fiel6
army. There is no likelihood o.
large land forces being sent to Tur
key by the allies; they are busy. Blu
if the ANGLO French fleet could pas

SLAVES OF AN IDEA"

The OcaIa STAR says the Orlando
IReporter-Star, is advocating COM
mission government for Ocala pro-
vided the new form may he adopted
without concentrating too much
power in the hands of the commits
sioners. The Star recommends that
the commissioners be elected to serve
without compensation with the recall
provision attached.
The Reporter-Star has no doubt
that the people of Ocala would be
we'll pleased with commission gov
eminent, and the city could we'll af-
ford to pay three good men reasona-
BILE salaries to look after the work.
1t is too much to ask any man to
give his time and the benefit of his
ripe experience without compensa-
tion. The city is really big cor
poration when considered from a
business point of view, and it is diff
ficult to understand how many good
citizens are ready to put inexperienc-
ed and impractical men in charge Of
SuCu oil IIupOI CdlPO UuolhOoo. A-uCh
who vote for such man would many
times be unwilling to trust the same
man in a clerical position in their
own offices.
But a great evolution of thought
and sentiment on this subject is talk
ing place. Men are slaves of an idea
or thought which has bound them
through the ages, perhaps, and they
hesitate to throw off the old and take
on the new for no reason more sound
than the possession of a supersti-
tious fear. Even the Star has its
scruples about committing itself to
| commission government because it is
more bureaucratic or autocratic than
democratic EXACTLY So The dem
ocratic idea is fine in theory but ii
doesn't work we'll in practice always.
1T has been proved to be ineffective
and inadequate to meet the demands
| in many of our cities. Those cities
which have not adopted commission
/ government are still grooming be-
Meath and kicking against the evils
/ and abuses of the aldermanic sys-
tenn. Commission government is not
"a cure-all, but it is great improve
rent.

Palatka has been rebuilt, is a much

The assurance of grand opera in
Atlanta next spring, according to an
Atlanta exchange, depends upon bus

of opera is expensive and if business
is not prospecting, the Music Festival
Association may find it advisable to
take no chances. There will be no
opera in Boston, and the Chicago
Philadelphia opera season has also
been abandoned Ocala hes been
well represented annually in Atlanta
during opera season and it will be

chat it will be impossible to have
