THOSE WHO PULL BACK

When Ocala was incorporated there
were those who bitterly opposed the
movement.
When we made arrangements for
the Inauguration of system of water
works it was resented bitterly.
So when we proposed to light the
city with electricity it was not con-
summated without opposition.
When we put down vitrified brick
paving around the public square up
Fort King avenue and down Main
and Magnolia streets there were
those who made their disapproval
felt.
When we bought the lot opposite
the depot for a civic center and park
the same opposition was in evidence.
If one waits to do things without
opposition one will wait forever.
There are always found obstruc-
tionists and malcontents. In all COM
munities there will be found those
who pull back and never want to go
forward.

New York is making special ap-
peal to Washington for an immense
appropriation to deepen the East
River channel. The World says that
the city faces an emergency. AS we
have said time and again the big
ports want to hog the entire contents
of the pork barrel" They can see
nothing but graft and pelf in ap-
preparations for the deepening of any
other rivers or the improvement of
any other harbors. We hope that
every southern congressman will set
their faces steadily against any more
appropriations for those places until
northern congressman show less
sectional and more generous spirit
towards the deepening of southern
rivers and improvement of southern
harbors.

If the Associated Press service were
not up-to-date and had grown anti
quated, it is rather remarkable that
such newspapers as the Tampa Trib-
une, the Tampa Times, the Jackson
vile Times-Union, the Jacksonville
Metropolis, the Pensacola Journal, the
Pensacola News, the, Miami Herald,
the Miami Metropolis, the Orlando
Reporter-Star, the Lakeland Tele-
gram, the Gainesville Sun and papers
of similar influence and standing,
would not switch off for some other
service. But these publications, and
a majority of the publications in the
United States, stand right behind the
Associated Press. 1t has the reputa-
ton of being the greatest and most
accurate news gathering agency on
this hemisphere.

HOW ARE WE TO BUILD A CITY?

1t is urged by many that if the city
builds an ice plant it will de done to
destroy and drive out the one already
here.
We understand that Mr.. Meffert is
erecting a crate factory out at his
lime works. Does any one think for
a moment that it is done for the
purpose of running the one already
established here out of business?
Not at all.
When the second newspaper was
established in Ocala was it charged
that it was done for the purpose OF
running the Ocala Banner out of bust
ness? If it was for that purpose it
did not succeed.
When the second dry goods store
was established was it heralded about
that it was done to destroy the one
already here!
When the second doctor made his
appearance was it charged that he
located here to starve the original one
to death?
How else are cities built?
The city council has it's own city
attorney. Do the other lawyers claim
this was done to hurt and cripple
them and run them away from the
city?
The city has it's own physician. Do
the other doctors get on their ears
about it and charge that it is done
for the purpose of destroying their
occupation?
Every new industry that is started
in a community is supposed to help
all other industries and by having
more merchants than one; more
manufacturing industries than one;
more lawyers than one; more doctors
than one; more newspapers than one;
more ice plants than one-cities are
supposed to grow.
If municipality is going to stop
at one merchant, one doctor, one
lawyer, one newspaper-what sort
of city will we have?
For the love of Mike let's get to-
gether and build city.
Baltimore is expanding right now
the sum of thirty-ffve millions for
sewers.
Let's get busy and do something.

LITTLE VISITING MAIDS FROM
CHINA

New York has ten vivacious little
visitors from China. Here is the
comment of one of them upon reach
ing the bewildering city:
American people are in such
hurry always to get somewhere that
the whole surface of the earth does
not content them to move about in.
but they must burrow under the
earth and climb up in the air."
They are sent by the imperial gov
eminent as wards to be educated in
American schools and they are de-
termined to observe American WHY'S
in all faithfuulness. Upon what they
learn from us, both in college and out,
depend largely the future social GUS
toms of their country. They have
spent some time shopping and laugh
ingly tell of their purchases in our
disappointment storesi" sTn
China there are only two such stores"
explained Miss Chen, five story high
and you walk the stairs. The goods
for sale are not where you can see
them. You must ask for everything"
The first thing these little people
bought were shoes and beaded slip
pers! "You see," gravely explained
one, lin China we do not walk. But
here we go to to see Woolworth build
ing and shops and ice cream store and
picture gallery, and you cannot walk
in Chinese satin Shoes" After they
will be sent to various preparatory
schools, then begin regular five-year
college courses. But Miss China's
comment upon New York is final: 'In
China, in bidding guest goodbye, we
say Walk slowly In New York you
say, Step Lively, please"

AN ENGLISH VIEW OF LINCOLN

The world is still waiting for the
true life of one who was probably the
greatest product of the Anglo-Saxon
race in the last century. The time is
coming near when we can Judge him
fairly. The part he played in the crisis
of his country was so immense that
of the "spread-eagle" type. Then, as
time passed, and the literary genius
of his countrymen fell in love with
Substitutes, there seemed less incli-
nation to consider mind and char
acter which was essentially broad and
simple. Now that the echoes of con-
troversies are dying away, and at the
same time nationalism is reviving in
American letters, we may hope that
the right biographer will arise. He
must tell the tale as a drama, for
Lincoln's career has the splendor of
Cromwell, he does not make it; it is
made for him, and he only accepts
the guidance of Providence. Back
woods boy, railsplitter, store-keeper.
country lawyer, politician, president
the stages come so naturally that
one forgets the human effort. The
gods seem to be preparing the one
man for the appointed hour.-London

V'nlnth. The first regular club meet

The Ocala Banner says that Con-
gresham Frank Clark said that get
ting that cotton tax refunded was
dead easy, and the Banner warns Mr..
Clark that congress will probably adj
journ before he makes his promise
good. If there is man in congress
who can get such a bill passed that
man is Congressman Clark.-Apalach-
icola Times
That being true, we hope that Mr..
Clark will get busy and fulfill his
promise, for if there ever was a time
when the farmers needed that tax 1t
is now. Fifty years is a long time
to wait. Of course Mr.. Clark would
not voluntarily have made the prom
Use if it were not easy of fulfillment.
Why doesn't he get busy and help in
this stringent emergency?

las. MooRHEAD coMPLIMENTED

. Mrs. ]. r. Moorhead, who has just
.,eturned home from a weeks stay in
Tallahassee, had a most enjoyable
'Ime visiting at the college and at
arious places near Tallahassee.
Last Wednesday evening, Miss Ag-
fes Ellen Harris, who is so pleasant
known in this city, entertained at
) very delightful little informal party
i her apartments at the college in
compliment to Mrs. Moorhead. This
fharming affair was a complete sur
prise to Mrs. Moorhead, and was
greatly enjoyed by her and the 9TH
p guests, including the members of
5he Woman's College faculty and a
ew other friends of the hostess.
Mrs. Moorhead, while in Tallahas-
Pee, was given another honor by Miss
Harris, having been chosen as one
p three of her best canning club ex-
3erts to help with the extension work
p the state.
Mrs. Morhead says that the Wo-
mans College has made many i'm
Proyements, and is an institution of
which the entire state should be
proud. There are FIVE hundred girls
enrolled for this term, and but for the
present financial depression the col
|ege would have had more students
man could have been accommodated.

The Apalachicola Times says that
last year the Apalachicola dealers
expressed $4,000 gallons of oysters
before Christmas. 1t is expected that
the number of gallons will be greater
this year. Florida's fish and oyster
business is increasing and is growing
to very large proportions. 1t will put
many a dollar into circulation this
winter. Then the open season for
game is approaching. The hog kill
ling season will soon be upon Us.
Things are shaping themselves in a
manner most pleasing. The shorn
lamb is being protected.
