'OCALA IRON WORKS

The Ocala Iron Works was re.
Gently swept by fire, and the com.
pany is now seriously considering
the adyisability of removing to an

Will be made by the Lakeland Board
OF Trade to bring this industrial en-

ons for removal, and the strong eff
fort Ocala is making to retain the
industry, we take the following from
the report Of a recent council meet
ing held in Ocala, which is published
IN the Ocala Star of Wednesday.
Mr.. George Mackay having ar
rived late, Mr.. Robinson asked that
the rules be suspended and Mr.. Mac
Kay be requested to address the
council on the matter of continuing
the Ocala Iron Works here or NOV
ing the plant to another point. Mr..
Mackay said he could only talk in
formally, as the stockholders had
not yet held meeting, but he could
say that they were considering re-
moving from Ocala to get nearer the
phosphate field, with quicker and
cheaper freight rates; that the mat
ter OF taxes had not been discussed,
but naturally it would have some
bearing on the decision of the stock
holders. Mr.. Roess stated that he
was at Dunnellon a few days since
and learned that they would make
a strong effort to have the Ocala Iron
Works established there. Mr.. Rob-
lnson stated that he would like to
offer a resolution along the line of
tax exemption for the Ocala Iron
Works, The following resolution
was offered by Mr.. Robinson and
unanimously passed on roll call:

The Times will have 10 make a
better defense of its party's election
methods than this II it prevents the
editor of the State Journal and all
other West Virginia citizens who
read from believing that the charges
of corruption in this county are true
and that Marion county stands out
to the world as one of the worst coun-
ties in the United States for election
corruption, fraud and bribery. The
Democratic leaders who do this
sort of work do not attempt to deny
it. Many OF them boast about it.
They even boast that they will be on
the grand jury after the election and
that no indictments will be made.
They excuse themselves by saying
that years ago Republicans did the
same thing. They seem TO be utter
~ oblfvious to the fact that in all
parts of the country there is develop

that in most sections of the state cor
ruption and bribery are no longer re-

in the past that the law makes it a
serious offense to buy or sell vote.

THE EMDEN.

Germany may solace herself with
the knowledge that there are some
glorious reverses which are more fit
ting subjects for national pride than
are many easily won victories.
The career of the little Emden, in
its brilliant dash, it's deadly efficien-
cy and its audacious courage. is in
spring to friend and foe alike. This
3,50O-ton cruiser, knowing the whole
time that she was inexorbly doomed
TO destruction, calamity held the sea
for three months against fully forty
hostile warslIps, sinking in that
time SIS, 900 tons OF her enemies ship
ping; looking for trouble by bonn
harding Madras, looking for more
trouble by sinking two hostile war
Ships under the guns or hostile forts,
and finally, OYertaken by swifter,
more powerful foe, giving battle and
Gghting to the end. Hats off to the
little Emden!
She has done infinitely more for
her country than the destruction she
inflicted. She has given her country
Il naval tradition. Germany's enc
mics may crush her, they may dis
mantle her fleet, but they cannot dis
mantle such traditions for the in
spiration of her future seamen.-N.

THE CATTLE EPIDEMIC.

The United States Department of
Agriculture, aided by state authori-
ties, is making widespread efforts to
stamp out the present very serious
outbreak of the dread foot and mouth
disease among cattle. Many states
have been guaranteed, and the Chi
cago stockyards were closed and thor
oughly sterilized. Thousands of head
or cattle have already been con-
demned and shot. The pestiIence has
resulted already in raising the price
OF meat. thus affecting every one in
the land.
This is the sixth outbreak the Uni
ted States has had. the others being
in 1870. 1880, 1884, 10000 ana
1908. The last was serious, costing
the department of agriculture $685.
112 to stamp it out. Many dairymen
went out of business in that year as
result OF their herds being con-
demned and killed in order to check
tile progress OF the plague. The gov
eminent has announced that the
present outbreak is fully as serious
and that it therefore behooyes farm
ers. dairymen and cattle nfsers to
assist the authorities in every posi-
bile way. The chief weapons employ
ed in this campaign are-first, a
rigid quarantine OF all suspected
stock: and, second, the immediate
slaughter of all infected animals.
The disease is so contagious that if
one animal in herd is infected there
rs practically no possibility of keep
ing the others. from contracting it.
The entire herd is therefore killed at

SOME CHANGES NEEDED.

The Wheeling lntelligencer and
other newspapers have in very
timely manner pointed out the adj
Visibility OF changing the Public
Service Commission, to be composed
of either five members or three, to
prevent a tic vote. which often puts
4 stop to the business Of the Commits
sion, as was done few days ago
over the Charleston water rates.
Commissioner Howard y. Ogden
and the other Republican commits
sioner voted to reduce the rates, but
the two Democratic commission ers
voted against it, and the relief the
people needed was not granted.
This can happen on any question
with commission that can be
equally divided. 1t will always hap
pen when any matter of any political
bearing is being considered.
The Republicans proposed at the
last session OF the Legislature TO
make the Commission of three men-
bers, but the Democrats, having an
equal division III the senate, would
mot permit this arrangement, seeing
d chance to get two OF the commits
sfoners. Since the Commission has
been organized it now appears that
three members would not have been
enough, owing to the very large
mount of business that the Commits
sion has to handle, especially since
lie Workmcn's Compensation Act is
throwing SO much detail work OH the
Commission 1t would seem advisable

NO ANSWER YET.

The editor of the Parkersburg
State Journal said few days ago If
tile editor Of the Fairmont Times
would say over his own signature
that the election in Marion county
was a fair one he would believe 1t,
but not until such statement was
made. The Times this morning conf
! nlented at some length upon the
charges that have been made against
the manner OF holding elections in
this county but lodged the issue COM
pletely and failed to satisfy the Park
ersburg paper. The comment of the
Times consisted OF so-called an
aiysis of the vote alleging that the
Democratic vote was less than in the
presidential election in 1912 and
that there was a great falling off of
the Republican vote, about 1000.
The Times also gives it as its opin-
ion that the election in Marion
county was MS fair as it was in Ohio.
Wood. Harrison and other populous
counties. But how does the Times
know how the election was conduct
cd in these other counties il it is so
| ignorant of the wholesale bribery
and corruption that was practiced in
its own county.
The Times defends its party by al
lIeging that the complaint has only
come from a few who were disap-
pointed in the result but 1t does not
say anything about the law abiding
, Democrats who have been just as
| free in their criticism of the election
methods here as The Republican lead
crs.
After floundering around over con-
siderable space and making no de-
malls OF any specific charges the
Democratic organ dismisses the
whole matter without giving the
state Journal the information It
wanted by saying That is about all
We care to say on the subject"
Sure that Is all anybody could say
under the circumstances.
The Times does not even deny
that the Democratic corruptionists
bought votes by the hundreds. That
slush fund of $4,000 was used in
this county and that the Republican
candidates did not buy vote, use a
crop. of whiskey or spend single
cent in any manner to corrupt the
ELECTION. The Times does not deny
The fact that the registration lists
were padded with about hundred
Alabama and North Carolina negroes
who had no right to vote in this
county and that most of these voted
Il - nSn fk
as two or three times in the city.
The Times does not deny that float
ers were taken direct from the vot-
ing booth in the court house after
they had voted to the sheriff's office
next door by a county official and
fiat some dealings were consumated
there behind locked doors.
The Times does not deny that

Laclede in a game played here last
Saturday afternoon. Max Jones
held the visitors to four hits, one
a scratch down the first base line,
and didn't give a pass. He should
have registered shutout, as none
of the hits figured in the scoring,
but errors in the fifth gave Marce-
line their two runs. Lancaster
was wild and ineffective and two
walks, two singles, a double and
an error or two mixed up with
wild pitchers gave Laclede five
runs in the third. VogU was also
hit hard and walk and three hits
in row gave Laclede three more
runs in the fifth, which ending the
scoring and gave Laclede an 8 to 2
victory. Three fast double plays
featured Laclede's fielding. Twelve
