After doing all in his power to pre-
sent the case of the people in the
Hough trial, Mr.. John P. Stokes left
Thursday evening for his home in
Pensacola. Mr.. Stokes made an ex-
cellent impression on the people here
He is genial and openhearted gen
tleman, making friends of all he met
In his prosecution of Hough, he show
ed no vindictiveness, but a sincere be-
lief that he had a just cause and a
determination to use all means in his
power to have justice done. Mr.
Stokes is one of Florida's big men
and will take large and larger place
in our public affairs as the years &c
on.

A century and year ago, the
world, so far as the number of ma
lions was concerned, was more at war
than it is now. Every nation in Eu-
rope except Turkey was at war for
or against Napoleon; the United
States was at war with England, and
Mexico and South America except
Brazil-were in rebellion against
Spain. Also, pirates roamed every
sea, and bandits infested almost ev-
cry land. However, the numbers en-
gagged and the interests effected were
not so large as those of today, and il
is to be feared that the suffering and
devastation will be much greater be-
fore peace again reigns.

Reading, Pa: an this concert one

color of his voice. He is wonderfully
sympathetic and uses his mezza voice
exceptionally well for baritone. His

surety"
Wheeling, W. Va: "Mr. Bonawitz

pureness. Not for many a day will a

We have always been strongly OPP
posed to this country getting mixed
up in the political affairs of those
greasers across the Mexican border,
but we are really glad to see that
Uncle Sam has determined to put a
stop to their vicious habit of fighting
their battles on the border and en-
dangering the lives of American cit
liens. A good dose of artillery fire,
which we could administer without
crossing the border, would be the
proper thing. Il would simply be an
act of self-defense-Bar Courier
Informant.
If such a dose had been administer
ed at the second or third offense, the
United States would have been saved
a lot of trouble. AS it is, the Star is
afraid that the situation at Naco will
be repeated, if not there at other
places on the border, until something
happens that will either drive US into
war or compel US to eat dirt in such
quantities that the people will put
the democratic party out of power in
order to get rid of the taste.

And now comes an Ocala man who
charges the Star of that city with
"promulgating the philosophy that in
fants should go armed with deadly
weapons" The Star is extremely
capable of protecting itself against
this preposterous charge, which was
most unfortunately phrased, but as
that paper and the Telegram are in
substantial accord on this question we
feel a lively interest in the progress
country should have a gun or pistol
in it and every member of the family
taught to use it effectively when the
right time comes. And that time
comes not infrequently, as we learn
by keeping up with the news of a
world in which murder, burglary,
rape, arson, assault, rowdyism and
drunkenness continue to be more or
less popular forms of sin with a GER
tain element of the population. 1t
takes a logic beyond our apprecia-
ton to infer from this chat infants
should go armed with deadly weap-
ons" or that either boys or men
| should be encouraged to violate the
law against carrying pistols or max
ing any unlawful use of them at any
| time.-Lakeland Telegram.
This is the line of argument that
causes Straub to say Uncle Joe Dixon
is blOodthirsty.

The people of North Ocala had a
big, well-flled Christmas tree at their
church Friday night. There would
have been larger crowd if it hadn't
been for the rain, but all who attend

church building is filing a large space
in the lives of the good people of
North Ocala. Those who have help
ed in its upbuilding and mainten-
ance have done and are doing a good
work.

The Commercial Bank has issued to
its friends a full line of handsome
calendars for 1915. Among them are
big, solid wall calendars, with figures

signs Of "June Days." fit for lady's
boudoir. In short, the bank has
something appropriate for everybody.

FIRE

Phosphate City had Narrow Escape
from a General COnfagration
Fire was discovered about o'clock
Christmas morning in the interior of
Mr.. S. Feinberg's dry goods store at
Dunnellon. The fire department re-
sponded to the alarm and did regular
Ocala work, keeping the fire confined
to the interior of the one store. The
stock of goods, which is said to have
been valued at about $4,000, was
practically destroyed, between the
fire and water, with probably $500
saved and $4,000 insurance. Had the
fire not been confined to the one
building and extinguished before that
was burned, the entire block of wood
en- stores, with probably several other
blocks would have gone.

The Star is informed that the COM

is at work on Mr.. Carmichae's

in which Ocala should strike while
the iron is hot. She is not likely to
have such another opportunity soon.

international law, whether 1t is a force
binding on all nations or only a POM

tice. The future of certain dynasties
will also be determined: whether the
