IT WAS ONLY HOT AIR

AS the Star supposed, the ringing
report of the American cruiser North
Carolina rescuing refugees at Tripoi,
and carrying them off to safety, was
mostly heated air. 1t wasn't an Am
erican cruiser but a Russian. The
captain of the North Carolina gives
the following report of the incident:
con Dec. 25, the Russian cruiser
Askold sent boats with armed men
on . reconnaissance near Tripoli, Sy-
ria, at the village of Banias. Before
arrival at the beach the boats ground
ed in shoal water and the crews of the
boats were jeered by the populace. At
the threat of the Turkish authorities
to imprison the boats crew, they were
informed that the Russian cruiser
would lombard the village in such an
event, and, consequently, no one was
made prisoner. No shots were fired.
The Russian boats crews left the vi
cinity when the boats were f1oated.
Since December 9 no American mer-
chantmen has been south of Alexan-
drette, Syria. The reconnaissance of
Beirut, Syria, is frequently made by
British, French and Russian cruisers.
Everything is quiet at Beirut"

THAT LUCKY BABY

Read the announcement elsewhere
of the Stars plan to start some lucky
baby off in the new year with whole
basket full of the things of this life
that he or she will need. This not
being the Bingville Bugle, there are
many things that we cannot say, but
we bet doughnut that the little plan
will awaken some interest in Ocala
and that it will not be many days
till the stork brings forward a claim
ant for the trophy, which is valuable
enough to be we'll worth that wise
birds attention.

RELIEVED BY HIGH COURT

Messrs. Gompers, Mitchell and
Morrison, oficerf OF the Federation
Of Labor, have finally emerged un
scathed from the judicial dangers
that have beset them during the past
seven years. For the second time
the United States supreme court has
rescued them when the courts below
were against them.
They were twice convicted of con-
tempt of the supreme court OF the
district OF Columbia for alleged dis
obedience Of an injunction of that
court. After their first trial they
were sentenced respectively to one
year, nine months and six months in
Jail, but the court of last resort held
that it was not legal for the court be-
low to afix penal sentences in a civil
action, their trial for contempt hav-
ing been made q part of the injunc,
tion trial.
y Again they we're tried under the
original charge of contempt and again
found guilty and again the federal
court has set them free under the
statute of limitation.
The supreme court Of the district
OF Columbia ia now likely to abandon
its attempt to land Messrs. Gompers,
Mitchell and Morrison in Jail as an
example to all laber representatives
and q warning to them to be careful
in their dealings with judicialtribun-

SETTLERS AND SPECTATORS

At the recent conference of western
governors in Denver, objection was
made to the holding of lands by the
federal government in the western
states. 1t was declared that the future
prosperity of those states depends in
large measure upon the laws governing
the disposal of those lands, and that in
the new states, as well as in the old,
the state should control all lands. and
have the power to tax al territory
within its boundaries
Those declarations would have more
weight if even one of the western states
had taken some step toward regulating
or abolishing land speculation, which is
an unmitigated curse in every Rocky
mountain and Pacific coast state. The
land and tax laws of those states seem
to have been made for the prosperity
of land spectators, rather than for the
opportunity and benefit of land settlers.
Millions of acres Of land are owned in
the Pacific coast and Rocky mountain
states by few spectators, to say moth
ing of smaller spectators who own, and
hold out of use, other millions of acres
in parcels of from $50 to 5000 or 10, 900
aces each. Timber Baron W%eyerhaeu-
ser, who died recently at Los Angeles,
owned 500, 600 acres in Oregon, abont
the same amount in Washington, and
about 1000, 900 acres in Idaho.
Land speculation obstructs settle
Element. If speculation is good for a
state, why worry about settlement?
Every new settler adds something to
the value of land held by spectators,
and the new settlers must pay to the
spectators the increased value. That
means prosperity for the spectators,
but how does it add to the prosperity
of the settlers or Of the state?
