Messrs. George Dyke and L. H.

Messrs. George Dyke and L. H.
Longworthy, Burbank's two leading
merchants, were in the city Wednes-
day and appeared before the board
of county commissioners. They pre-
sented largely signed petition of
the voters of the Burbank section,
asking that an election precinct be
established there. The matter was
laid over until a special meeting of
the board to be held on the goth OF
this month, at which time action will
be taken on same. These gentlemen
say that there are over seventy vot-
ers in the proposed new precinct and
that its establishment will prove a
great convenience to them. A great
number of the voters at Burbank do
not now avail themselves of the vot-
ing privilege on account of the dis
lance necessary for them to travel.

AMERICAN BEAUTY
LOVE APPLES

They used to call them love ap-
pies. They would call them by that
name yet but for the foolish and mis-
taken notion that love is a luxury
and not a necessity
Talking about tomatoes, they are
raising them around Ocala. II you
don't believe it, go to the Hall farm
out on the Silver Springs boulevard
Believe US, it is some farm A hun
dred and fifty acres in tomatoes, and
all the plants heavily laden
Messrs. Whit Palmer and Earl
Hall, in their sturdy and useful four
passenger Ford. picked up a Star re-
porter yesterday afternoon, and
wfirled him across country and
broadened his mind on tomato Gull
ture
Beside the tomato patch, there is
other farming going on out that
way. Big fields of corn and melons.
and despite the drouth they all look
good

drouth than any other land in the
world There is always water down
In the rocks under the soil, and every
time night comes, some OF the mois-
cure rises to the roots of the plants.
Scores of darkies were busy pick
ing tomatoes on the Hall farm and
loading them into two-mule wagons,
which took them out thru the woods

HAM has had built by the switch on
ire Seaboard two miles northeast of

young white men, busy as bees sort

loading tfe boxes into the car ON the
siding. 1t was the third car, and is

The reporter looked at the busy

TEARING O'GORNAN'S
ARGUMENT TO TATTERS

"Savoyard,'' the noted writer for
many leading papers. d:sposes of
Senator O'Gorman's valued argument
for tolls repeal as follows:
You hear heap about sovereign
ty' in this socalled debate You hear
that President Wilson has cravenly
surrendered to Great Britain. You
hear that if this subsidy is not grant
ed the canal is not ours. You are
told that sovereignty" embraces the
right and imposes the duty to dis
honor the country by violating a
covenant we entered upon with Eng
land and that included every nation
of the world that has a ship on the
water. You are admonished that
you are not a patriot unless you fav-
or the taxing of all the people to
substitute few of the people.
Dumas the elder determined to
translate Homer, but did not know
word of Greek and did not consider
it necessary that he should learn
Greek. If anybody could turn that
trick, the gifted quadroon was the
chap to do it, and We can imagine
what a work it would have been
when We read the argument" of the
Hon. O'Gorman in she United States
Senate, in which he contends THAT the
remission of taxes is not a subsidy.
Everybody else has to pay tolls,
including that dfgent, miserable des-
titute and distressed more or less
entity, the American merchant ma
rine engaged III foreign commence,
that is as lean as Lazarus and as
poor as poverty; but the American
merchant marine, engaged In coast
wise trade, is as rich as Croesus and
as insoIent as the devil, and it is to-
released from the hardship of pay
ing tolls. This is estimated by COM
petent experts at s2,oOO,O0O annual
". According to O'Gornran, if it
pays that SUM into the treasury, and
operation of an appropriation, re-
turns it to this monopoly, it is sub
sidy; but If it is not collected, then
it is no subsidy. Yet the condition
is precisely the same
Somebody will have to pay that
100000 annually. If this ship
is relieved from taxation,
the taxes OF Tom, Dick and Harry
will have to be increased to pay it.
This concern is rich, and no more en-
titled to that graft than I am to a
pass over the railroad the next time
/ go to Kentucky. You might as
we'll enact law forcing the proposed
railroad in Alaska to carry Rookie
feller's oil without the payment Of
freight rates as to allow Nixons
ships to pass through the canal free
of tolls.
What makes me mad is that this
brazel and insolent subsidy should
march into congress wrapped in the
American flag, and denounce every
body as traitor who objects to its
plunging its hands into the peoples
treasury up to the elbow.

Official secrecy still continues to
be observed regarding the result of
the experiments with Signor Ulivi's
Trays in igniting explosives at
distance, but it is quite apparent that
if this new force can accomplish
what is claimed for it, warfare will
be completely revolutionized. For
several generations the explosive has
been the essential factor in our fight
ing machinery, and all our energies
have been directed to perfecting it
and the instruments by which it is
discharged. Now, however, if it is
possible for a man operating a key
board at a safe distance to blow up
magazines and ammunition wagons
the explosive and the weapons by
which it is used must be left behind
before an army can venture into the
field. M. Bloch some years ago de-
clared that war mad been made I'M
possible by the destructive nature of
the weapons that had come into ex-
istence. He was wrong in his an
ticipations, as subsequent events
demonstrated, but through the in

modern warfare which M. Bloch
thought was to effect his benefcent
