Cost Of Victor

After four years of bitter conflict the Colorado
mine strike has been settled. The main feature of
the settlement being ten per cent reduction in
wages.
1t is victory for the operators, their gunner,
their murderous militia and their gang politics. al
though the unionists were probably wise in calling
off the strike.
But isn't this victory good deal like the victory
Of the British at Bunker Hill? Surely, it leaves in
the hearts of thousands of men more hatred of the
law, more envy of the rich more Of society,
more determination to combat force with force when
4 better opportunity arises.
Society does not strengthen itself by crushing
men. Mems Friendship is not won by triumph of
brute force. Patriotism is not prompted by victory
over justice.
Colorado has earned repute as commonwealth
that cheapens men. 1t is not good for state that is
young and wants to grow.

Giving Up Much

David Starr Jordan, chancellor of Leland STAN
ford university and of the Peace Anyhow Advo-
Gates, told the National Civic Federation conven-
ton:
81 would rather give up the Pacific than see this
country go to war with Japan"
This is somewhat like the way northern "copper"
heads" talked in 1860. By giving up the Pacific,
DIR. Jordan probably means possessions in the
Hawaiian and Philippine islands But these pos
sessions are but small side show compared to what
our real interests in the Pacific mean Involved in
Uncle Sans influence in the Pacific the Monroe
doctrine, that costly canal insular holdings and
the property Of all Pacific coast from Vancou-
yer to San Diego
Nobody wants war with Japan. But that doesn't
end the argument. Nobody can guarantee that
Japan will not want war with us the minute it be-
comes safe to put pistol to our head and demand
our Pacific commerce life. The question is
as to whether we can wear our fat purse on our
watch chain and never become victim of the uni
versal greed of nations.

A MILD PROTEST

81 don't quite see the point of
that remark of yours" said Mr.
Skinner, the grocer, as he tied up
the package OF sugar.
What remark was that?" ask
ed the customer.
You just remarked that spme
men had an off-hand way of 90
ing things. And you wished | Vas
one" "
Yes; / wished to remind yon
that your hand was on the. sugar
when you weighed it."-Pittsburg

New York is using it's police to count the unem-
ployed check up the persons willing to help them
and turn the remainder over to central bureau of
relief
1t is the first real census of unemployment our
largest city has taken the first official sign that
government in America is eager to strike trial bal
ance in its most important business business OF
living.
When every one of our cities forms the habit of
taking stock in this way, it will be easier to swing
plans to put the idle to useful work. thus banishing
the sting of private charity.
How odd that we've so long been demanding an ex-
act count of horses and dogs and stray cats yet have
been content with merely rough guesses on the num-
Der of jobless men and women. Rough guesses and
rougher neglect!
It's time to go to this real task if we meant to
do something.

ANOTHER GOOD REASON

Another good reason why the peo-
pie of this city should at once avail
themselves of Mr.. Carmichael's prop
osition to establish the freight boat
line between Ocala and Jacksonville,
Is that it will be the most powerful
argument in obtaining help from the
national government for the Okla
waha.
The people who oppose appropria-
tions for improving this stream argue
with some show of justice that the
river is no use to US. They say we
haul all our freight by rail and don't
need the river.
1t is our fault that they have this
argument. We have not used the
river in proportion to its usefulness
or our needs since the railroads were
built.
Let's get busy, put the boats to
running and bringing our freight and
we will be helping ourselves and Civ
ing the government the best reason
for helping US.

ocALA NEEDS A CITY MARKET


Our city needs market. We don't
mean place where all the meat and
vegetable stalls in the city must con-
gregate, but place where the coun-
try people can bring their produce
and sell it to their customers.
A number of people come in daily
bringing fruit and vegetables in wag-
ons, and peddle them from door to
door. 1t takes them long time to
make the rounds, and their custom
ers never know when they are COM
ing, so the trading is inconvenient
and uncertain on both sides.
Now, if Ocala had central place
for all the country folks to come ia
with their produce, the city people
would know right where to 60 to buy
their green stuff. Such markets are
successfully conducted in other cities
and ours should have one as soon as
possible.
An elaborate structure isn't requir
ed. An open lot with a shed, by
drant and watering trough would d.
to, begin with. And if rest room fol
the women and children was locates
in the vicinity, our city would have ;
great and appreciated improve
ment.

AN APPRECIATED ADDRESS

Mr.. G. A. Maull of the advertising
department of the Atlantic Coast
Line was in the city last night and
made an appreciated address to a
number of the members of the Board
of Trade and other citizens.
Mr.. Maull's address was on the pos
sibilities of Florida soil and the i'm
portance of improving it. He is con-
fident this part of the country is one
of the garden spots of the earth and
needs only scientific cultivation to
feed a great population of its own
and many in other sections.
His address was listened to with
great attention, and will bear much
good fruit in the future.

full if some of the spirit the World
sneers at would spread, or at least
demonstrate itself more In their sec
ton. Here, occasionally, Southern
community is driven wild by an out
rage on a white woman by negro.
For white man to commit such
crime Is almost unknown.
In the north, the outrage and MUIR
der of white women by white men al
most equal the number Of rape cases
in the South. And no white man is
ever adequately punished for the
crime.
Some dozen years ago, a pretty
shopgirl was taken out one evening by
bunch of young men,. Next morn
ing, her dishonored body was found
by the roadside, where the young ruff
fans had thrown it when they were
thru with her. The criminals were
only sent to the penitentiary, and
now they are al out, and all able to
repeat the tragedy.
Any newspaper man can recall
scores of sickening crimes of this
character in the North in the past
twenty years.
In spite Of our large negro popula-
ton, most Of which is docile and law
abiding, a white woman is safer on
the lonely roads of the South than
/ she is In the crowded streets of
northern cities.
As for the Courier-Journal's COM
ment, it is worse than the Worlds
statement. 10 say that. the "mobs'
who have punished criminals for the
worst crime known to humanity are
made up of drunken riff-raff, who
take the life of human being in the
same spirit they go to horse race
lis such a colossal lie that it confutes
itself without any argument.
The Courier-Journal article was
hardly written by, Henry Watterson
He knows better. It reads like dia.
tribe from the pen of some college
professor, who has obtained 80 pei
cent of his information from books
and doesn't know enough about rea
human beings to find his way aroune
the streets of his home town.
I. A man who has not had the mis-
fortune of. close acquaintance with /
/ lynching and its causes has no RICH
to sit in judgment on men who's,
women relatives or friends have beel
the victims of the GROWING horro
of crime.
i The South would get along yer.
4 well with its own troubles il outsid
ers would let it alone. Lynchings ar
few and far between. Some whit
men, we regret to say, are willing t
!, lynch a negro just because he is
Niger" but their number in proper
ton is scarce, and they are frowne
on severely by the great majority
/ The great majority Of Southern whit
people help and protect the negroe
whenever there is any occasion to d
so.
II On the other hand, while there ar
among the negroes brutes who's
