OPINION ON PUBLIC AFFAIRS

i;
The Star regrets to observe
that some of its readers are of the
opinion that its expressions Oh
public affairs are biased by its
personal likes and dislikes.
While the Star is not much sur
prised at this outcropping of an
opinion unfavorable to it, it is
somewhat saddened-not so much
on its own account as on that of
the city; because it is an express
sion of a sentiment that Ocala is
big enough to outgrow
The editorial page of newspa
per should be the vehicle of pub
lie sentiment, in which the editor
should be not only allowed but ex-
pected to express the opinion of
the community, or that part of the
community he represents, with the
Sdu1C IICCuolu ludl liiuISIuudiS
have when they talk to each
other.
In most little towns, the free
dom of opinion that is supposed to
be not only the right but the
duty of an American newspaper is
only half expressed in local mat
tcrs- An editor may express his
opinion very fercely regarding the
president of the United States, the
governor of the state or even of the
congressman of the district, but
when it comes to the mayor of his
town, the alderman from his ward
or even the policeman on his beat,
he must not speak except in
praise
This policy is carried in most
small towns not only to the ridic-
ulous but to the criminal If an
official does well, praise him l,igh-
Iy, if he does only ordinarily well,
praise him some; if he does i'll.
keep quiet.
The same rule applies to private
citizens. If a citizen makes an
Improvement, praise him sky high;
if he half way blocks a street or
keeps a nuisance on his premises,
by no means print a word about it
If he buys an auto, give him
twenty lines, but if he gets drunk
and runs the said auto thru the
town ordinances, by no means re
fer to it.
Small town papers are also sup
posed to be respecters OF person:
If a poor white man comes te
town, tanks up and is arrested. Oh
a niger is caught shooting craps
their names and actions are re
corded in print. But If a promi
nent citizen gets whooping drunk
and makes an indecent exhibition
of himself on the street, or if tn.
scion of an influential family rob.
his employers, ruins a girl or run'
away with another man wife, it i
scandal, not news, to mention 1t il
type. SO far has this ridiculous
observance been carried that tn,
writer has known local papers il
small towns to given details what
ever of crimes that big city dailie'
were sending special men to writ,
up and printing under flaming heae
lines.
There are many papers, particu

mean things about people, most of
whom are helpless to defend them
selves.
But the great majority of the big
city dailies of America are fair and
public spirited. They make mis-
takes sometimes, but they print
mostly facts and fair opinion.
They attack rascality without fear,
but in matters of difference of opin-
ion they are moderate and respect
full.
Why should not this be the rule
In village of a thousand as well
as in a city of a million? Why
is it scandalous to print things
that everybody talks about? How
can newspaper consider itself
fearless and outspoken when it
denounces Congress about the tar
if and the president about his his
foreign policy when it is afraid to
criticise the town council for buy
ing a thousand feet of inferior fire
hose or dares not tell the mayor he
shouldn't veto a certain ordinance?
Ocala has in great measure out
grown this archaic sentiment, and
it is good deal owing to the Star
that it has done so.
The Star has passed over many
things because their publication
would hurt the weak without do
ing any particular good to anyone,
and it has allowed some things to
be covered up because uncovering
them might harm the whole COM
munity Otherwise, it has tried to
print the news as it found it. and
commented on public affairs in an
independent and impersonal way.
So far from having a personal
bias to its criticism, the Star has
criticised some of its close friends
because it thought the measures
they favored were not the best for
the public interest, and several
times it has gone out of its way to
praise the acts of some people who
i don't like it very we'll because it
thought they not only deserved
i praise, but because it should be
more ready to give it than thei,
close friends.
4 In matters of city and county

| want the very best for the greatest
number.

Memories Of Old Luxembourg.

Luxembourg, whatever it's claims to
the protection of Great Britain, pos
sesses one strange association with
England that dates back IL centuries.
II is connected with the cult of St.
Willibrod, the variously-spelled Saxon
saint who helped to convert the Ger
mans to Christianity-very imperfect
ly, as an Oxford don once dryly re-
marked. Every Whit Tuesday the
memory of our English saint is hon
ored at Luxembourg by procession
and religious dance which rank among
the most curious survivals of medieval
pageantry. Luxembourg is also place
which appeals to British naturalists,

public park there is the charming lit
tie black redstart, which is a rare
winter visitor TO England.-Daily

institutions is given in pamphlet is
sued recently by the National Associa-
tion for the Study and Prevention OF

of the subject the association has not
been able to find a single instance
where a tuberculosis sanatorium has
had an injurious effect on the health
of anyone living near it, nor where 1t

decisions bearing on the question and
contributes besides some original In
vestigations of typical hospitals and
the opinions of prominent men, life in

one hundred and fifty different istitu-
lions are studied. In al these institu-
tons not one case could be found
where the assertions of opponents to
their location, that tuberculosis san
atorlum would spread disease and In

In fact, a number of instances were
found where the presence of the san
atorium or hospital promoted outdoor
