OAK PARK al" IN BAD

AS a result of its failure to comply
with the ruling of the Illinois public
utilities commission, which specified
that plans for elevation of the tracks
west of the city should be filed by
midnight, July Is, the Chicago & Oak
Park ''L'' has one of two alternatives
to choose. They may either suspend
operations on the surface or bring
each train to a dead stop at each
crossing. The latter plan would tack
twenty minutes or more to the pres
ent schedule
Attorney Gilbert Porter, speaking
for Samuel insult, receiver of he
road, stated that they have no inten-
ton of filing plans for elevation. The
dead stop" order goes into effect in
September.

DEATH or EX-SENATOR MANN

Many of the citizens of Florida.
especially among the "old timers"
will hear with regret the death Of ex-
Senator Mann. The end came az
Barr Harbor, Me-. following an oper-
alton for appendicitis.
Senator Mann came TO Florida from
Maun Chunk, Pa. in the early sew
entities. He first came Co ocaia and
for several months made his home
with his wife and little daughter at
the ocala House. He soon visited
Crystal River and was SO impressed
with its possibilities that he made
investments there and soon became a
factor In its development

APPROPRIATION FOR FLoRinR
RIVERS SEEMS DOOMED

Congressman Frank Clark and J. D
Rooney, Secretary ocaIa Board OF
trade. went before the Board OF En-
gineers for rivers and harbors this
afternoon and made a strong argu-
ment in the interest of Withlacoochea
River project. The district engineer
ing officer has turned down the pro-
ject.
Nothing less than the complete
elimination of the proposed improve
ment of the Oklawaha river and three
other large projects will reconcile Sen
ator Burton and his fellow fighters In
the upper branch Of Congress to the
river and harbor bill.
The Ohio Senator, speaking for tina
opposition to the river and harbor
measure, today sent to Senator Sim
mons, who leads the forces for the
bill, a detailed statement OF just what
projects must be cut out OF the bin
and others that must be pared down
before the opposition will cease its
activities.
The knife has been inserted deep
by senator Burton, and the ''irreduci-
BILE minimum which he proposes
would carry only about ten million or
twelve millions altogether. The four
big projects which he declares must
be eliminated are the Cumberland
river. the oklawaha river in Florida
the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal
and the Sacramento and Feather riv-
ers improvement In California.
Concerning the Oklawaha improve
ment Burton says In his letter to Sim
mons: Regarding this project there
Is a letter addressed to a democratic
Senator from q prominent business
man well acquainted with this local
ity who describes this project as an
absolute waste"
Burton also demands elimination OF
proposed improvements from Pensa-
cola Bay to Mobile Bay.-Louis Lud-

JACKSONVILLE AS AN EXAMPLE

Wa all know that Jacksonville

got deep water. How did she get
deem water? BY lying down supinely

shoals and shadows into great
depths? Not on your life! Jackson

ton. not a theory, so they pulleu OH

and went heroically to work and hoat-

fifty thousand dollars. Inspired oy
her patriotic efforts, the government
came to the city's assistance ana ap-
propriated an additional three hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars anu
deep water was secured.
What was the result!
Sky scrapers, magnificent hotels'
mammoth department stores great
banking institutions, and other Dusf
ness enterprises, almost in the twink
ling of an eye, transformed Jackson
vile into a metropolis.
No municipality every. went through
a more rapid transformation.

1.-THE ocALA PLATFORM"

Away back in the '90s, when the
populists were running like wildfire
all over the country and threatening
to overthrow both the republican and
democratic parties, they had a nation
al convention at Ocala. They pro-
mulgated what became famous as
"the Ocala platform"
That platform was denounced from
one end of the country to the other
as anarchistic, communistic and socia-
listic in all its tendencies and de-
mands.
The campaign orators would take
up the initiative, referendum and re-
call, and they would tear out hair by
the handful. They would work them
selves into a perfect frenzy because
of this attack on our republican in
situations, and this insidious attempt
to undermine the judiciary"
Yet within little more than a
score of years we find this demand in
both republican and democratic plat.
forms all over the country, and in
many states a law providing for the
demands of the Ocala platform. And
it seems to be working well, too.
Then the populists had a currency
plan for the issuance OF money in
times of financial stress. This Great.
ed as great an cutlery and was char.
acterized as IAN attack on the stabil.
ity of our money" Remember how
this plan was fiayed by republican
and democrats alike? And yet our
currency bill. providing for an EN-.
Urgency currency. is almost exactly
as the populists desired Il.
The sub-treasury plan was another
plank Of that hated platform that was
"paternalistic. communistic" and all
the other bad istics in the catalogue
OF istics. And yet today all the old
republicans and democrats who were
so bitter in their denunciation OF the
Ocala platform. and these planks In
it, are working at Washington TO have
practically the same plan put into ef.
feet. and it is quite more than likely
that it will be effective and will prove
the salvation of the producing classes
of the country.
Times change. and men change
with them. The things that We de-
nounced as runious 90 the republic
some twenty years ago are the things
today that are the very bulwarks Of
our institutions and the fundamentals
of our republic.
The populist party didn't pat the
Ocala platform into effect. but IL Is In
effect just the same. and to the popu.
lists is due the credit OF starting
things and making the plans that al.
timately resulted in these additions
to our governmental policy that are
working out TO the good Of the PEG.

through suffering, disease and death,
the loss in all the higher and holier
attributes Of man no human mind
can grasp and no human pen can ever
tell.
This loss must be widely distribut.
ed that the world may stand the
shock. Every man in this country
must bear his share OF the burden or
else be a burden shirker. Here and
there exceptional conditions may
yield exceptional results, but in one
way or another, the farmer must
carry his part of the load, the mer.
chant his and the manufacturer his.

ward on large scale when the time
comes, as surely it will, for big
money-making. Men must learn to
bear each others burdens; the bank
er must realize that this is no time
for calling loans; the borrower must
strive to the utmost of his ability to
pay his loans in part, at least; the
manufacturer, the merchant and all
others must do what they can for the
common good, content IL they carry
their share of the worlds burden and
be ready to do business for money.

for great burst of activity.
Face to face with the horrors such
as civilization has never known, the
most awful toll that death has ever
claimed, men must be sobered by this
glimpse into the very gates OF hell,
and strive to be less selfish and more
ready than ever before to bear one
another's burdens.
The burden can be carried IL thus
properly distributed, and If this be
done we shall be made ready for the

must be done. The law-making pow.
er Of the state says so. II we surren-
der our individual judgments and
comply with the opinion of these ex.
perts and this law-making body we
must put down sewer system. To
do so costs money. It is not going to
build itself. The magician with his
wand no longer lives amongst US.
We are told by experts and those
in authority that the electric light
plant and the water plant need en-.
largement and better equipment.
How are we to meet the emergency
If there is any other way to do
it except the one marked out by the
city council we would like to be put
into possession of the secret.
We are not captious. If there is
any way to do these things without
costing the tax payers money we
want to be put into possession of the
secret, for we pay as heavy a tax in
proportion to our little holdings as
any individual in the city.
We have paid out for paving a
thousand dollars, and soon shall be
called upon to pay out more than as
much again. And we pay it, and pay
it cheerfully.
We do not try to shirk it. We think
it a just debt. The citizens who
come amongst US give value to prop
erty, and they are entitled to paved
streets and paved sidewalks, and we
are willing that they should have
these, as they get but few other ben
efits.
The money paid out for these i'm
provements is not as if it were
thrown into a well. The city gets
value received. Every citizen is ben.

ment; the money enters into the ar

Why did Mr.. Richard S. Hall and
other Ocala citizens go to Jackson
vile and invest their money there in
big hotels and other enterprises?
Because it is a growing city, and
holds out inducements for invest
ments.
They would navor have oona 4bara

She cannot remain stationary.

oblivion when he recited them at a
dinner given In his honor at the I'm

staff of the Montreal Herald, in Oc-
