GREAT MANY OXEN GORED

The State Board of Health is in
hot water. The board has published
batch of vital statistics, showing
the number Of births and deaths in
the various cities. According to
this, Ocala hasn't more than 80 per
cent of the death rate of other cities
OF its size in the state. Consequent
ly, the newspapers representing the
said other cities are out in elaborate
explanations of their higher death
rates and abuse of the board for its
figures.
1t is no use in blaming the board.
1t printed the most exact figures it
could obtain. If anybody is to blame
it is the careless people Of the cities
that didn't care anything about the
state boards honest attempt to OBJ
ain statistics until they found the
said statistics summing up against
them.
The Star is glad that Ocala has nc
explaining to do. And it advises
the other towns in the state to CO.
operate with the Board of Health
more efficiently in future.

Charles d. Hilles and Senator
Boies Penrose, the old guard boss OF
PENNSYLVANIA, held a conference in
New York the other day. You may
not place Hilles; he was the chair
man of the republican national COM
mittee, who managed Taft's cam
paign in 1912. After the confer
ence Hilles issued an interview say
ing this is "a republican year and a
nationwide party victory in Novem-
Der is practically certain" Having
looked back into the files, We dis
cover it is just the same old inter
view Hilles issued every day dur
ing the 1912 campaign. And is il
significant Of a great republican re-
| form that Hilles' partner in his first
important conference OF 1914 was
| Penrose, the pal of Hanna, Matt
Quay, Tom Plat, Crane, Hale, Gal
linger. and all the other burglars o.

JACK JOHNSON

The white people of the South are
not doing themselves honor in the
inwill they display toward Jack
Johnson, the negro pugilist, who
Knocked out Moran in the prize ring
at Paris Saturday
Jack is not bad negro. From all
acCunnts, he is possessed of many
good traits, and in the proper sur
rpnndimgs would be a good and use
fnl member of society.
His career as prizefghter is
simply the result Of a very natural
desire on his part to improve his lot
along the best line open to him. He
is no more of a brute, not as much
as. some white men who have worn
xhe championship belt. 1T is no fault
Of his that white men make of him a
champion and some white women are
willing to crafty his lusts, or that
the people of his own race consider
him a demi-god-
Any white man who has gone into
the ring against Jack, any white man
afS has promoted his career in the
prize ring any white man who has
given up his coin to watch him fight,
any white woman who has consorted
xsrslh him, is much more depraved
than Johnson.
The proper course of the white
rx.ppte of the South is to treat Jack
like they would any other darkey,
and to treat Jacks white allies with
silent contempt. They detract from
their dignity, and are unjust to
themselves more than Johnson, when
they show a disposition to hate him.

County Board Of Trade favoring gov
eminent aid for the proposed canal
from Silver Springs to Ocala, has
been received. 1t is needless for me
TO say that | will gladly cooperate

ment Of your section. Nothing, how
ever can be done at this session of
Congress, inasmuch as the River and

bill, are planned 10 be put thru by

gins.
The case of the canal, which is a
difficult one, inasmuch as the rule of
the Rivers and Harbors committee

provements only where commerce is
| shown. In fact, Congress rarely
authorizes appropriations for canals
but confines it's work to improve
ment OF channels which already
carry commerce. However, / shall
be glad during the next session to do
anything to secure the Improvements
you desire, Yours very truly,
